came through with tnree-run'
squirt, missing the chance to sew
things up or, possibly, forge ahead,
when Big Ed Walsh was showed
into the fray at critical stage.
Peters Effective.
Peters pitched effective ball early in
the game and three double plays snuffed
out the Nationals with runs threatened.
These rally killers took considerable
heart out of the Climbers and by the
| time they were able to pull themselves
together 1t was.too late.
Doc White slipped into the box long
enough to retire the side in the seventh
after the home folks had choked three
runs out of Peters. The lanky dentist
was compelled to quit under heavy fire
in the eighth when the Nationals loaded
the bags and two were out. II was at
this stage that Mr.. Walsh appeared and
then goodnight" Walsh retired Shanks
for the third out and easily blanked
the local crew in the ninth.
Milan, Moeller, and Mcbride did the
hitting for the Climbers. The last named
| also put up a rattling good game in the
field. Frank Laporte, the new second
baseman. made his initial appearance in
the Capital garbed in Senatorial togs
ana was gwen a Dig mana WHeH Cdllc
to the bat in the second inning.
Too Much Tragedy.
There was too much tragedy in the
air for Atrock and Schaefer to pull their
comedy, and the diamond dust twins
will reserve their screaming act until a
more auspicious occasion.
The visitors barely outpointed the Ma
tionals in the matter of hits. but six of
the twelve smashes were well punched
and produced runs when with the excep-
ton OF the seventh the home folks am
munition went for naught
Mcbride led off the third with a hit.
but was doubled up at second base, and
in the fourth Moeller beat out an infield

AIS hot grounder. and then Doc White
pinch hitting for Cashion. to pop up all
easy fly, which Zeider captured.
Red Walker, hitting for Moeller. ripped
open the Nationals eighth with single.
Foster flied to E. Johnson. and when
Milan singled TO left Walker reached
second Frank LapOrte was walked on
purpose, and Callahan read the hand
writing on the wall, so out came White
and Ed Walsh occupied the spotlight.
Walsh forced Shanks to ground out to
Collins. and it was all over.
Al Williams singled with one down in
the ninth. but Schaefer. batting in place
of Engel, famed and Walker flied to
Rath.
When johnson hit for Cashion in the
seventh Griff sent in Joe Engel, the local
boy, ito finish the game. Joe did not al
low a run and yielded but two hits.
With a mighty rattle of war clubs in
the fifth inning the White Sox banged
Long Tom Hughes benders 10 all corn
efs of the pasture, scoring enough runs
to win.
Fireworks in Fifth.
Zeider ripped open the Sox fifth with
clean single to center. f. johnson
smashed TO right and Zeider pulled up
at third. johnson going to second on
the throw. Schalk drove the ball over
McBride's head, scoring both Zeider and
johnson. Peters sacrificed Schalk TO
second and when Rath doubled to right
the catcher scored. Mattick followed
with a single sending in Rath. and Grif
yanked Hughes. Cashion managed to
stop the batting rally.
Although four runs was enough, Gala
hans tribe added another for good
measure in the sixth. E. johnson draw
ing a walk, going to the midway sack
on Schalk's grounder TO Gandil and rae
ing home on Peters single through the
box.
Washington fans were greatly impress
ed with the looks of both Schalk and
E Collins, newcomers to the local park.
