Climbers Walk Away
With Final Contest
Against White Sox

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-By sending Walter
johnson, the kansas Cyclone" after
the White SoX in the concluding skir-
mish of the series, Clark Griffith sailed
along TO an easy victory. The White
Sox lost all interest in the game a. soon
as the peerless pitcher proceeded to
serve up his wonderful slants under
slate sky, and the Climbers won by a
score of 10 to /.
Only real generosity allowed that lone
tally for the South Siders, Griffith hav-
ing no desire to rub it in any more than
necessary. Under the conditions John
son was invincible Storms threatened
his fast ball until 1t looked no larger
Than green pea TO those White Sox
batsmen
johnson made no effort to fan his op-
penents being contented to have them
roll out on easy chances for his in
fielders. Maurice Rath splashed d two
base knock over the initial sack in the
first inning and Collins burned a swift
one through the box to center in the
nth, but no other bingles were corralled
from the speed merchants delivery.
.Ioe Engel, one of Griffs milk bottle
pitchers followed the illustrious john
son to the mound in the seventh. when
the tally stood 10 to 0 and for two in
nlngs was as good as his predecessor.
The youngstsr yielded run, though, in
the ninth, thus removing the sting OF
lne One-Slded ue1eat.
Aside from the hard hitting of the
Climbers the battle was featureless
Griffs kids landed on the ball so
Niciously that they gave the enemy no
chances for pretty stops, and johnson
was so powerful in the box that the
Climbers had a cinch in the field. 1t
~as generally a question OF one-two-
xpree for the Sox and punches of bin
8les and numerous tallies for the Climb
ers.
'zeb" Milan, the Tennessee Pepper
Pot, slammed single to right in the
hrst, but perished stealing for the final
death. Rath's double looked good for
the Sox in the first, but the next three
lads were helpless before Johnson.
Gandil opened the second with a tre-
mendous wallop to left. Before Mcintyre
could reach the fence the ball had
h0pped right over the wall, and Gandil
hiked all the way around. Morgan Inn

seeming to take his words with grain

in New York some weeks ago and It is
expected that a joint meeting of play
ers in both major leagues will be held

then beat Kuhn's peg to third. The

wildly, and Milan danced across the
platter.
The fourth passed without any tally

1t was like stealing a blind mans dollar

slammed the pill. Moellers singing

agony. when he stopped a fast one with
his throwing arm. That proved the un-
