SENATORS DEFEAT
SOX.. SCORE 81

Those surprising Senators mussed
our Sox again. this time TO !. in the
second game of the series. But for the
lone marker on the short end it would
have looked like forfeited combat.
The Big Reel started to unwind 1000
feet of film, but his focus chase slipped
in the seventh and the picture jumped
the screen.
Mr.. Walsh apparently was not in the
best of trim. There didn't seem to be
much on the ball but a little saliva and
a desire TO roam. The Senators knock
ed two homers out of the lot trying to
play outside ball for a change. besides
collecting a couple OF doubles and four
singles, al of which were good for five
runs. To further irritate the artistic
temperament OF the great pitcher. VIII
liam J. Burns Griffith. the world $
greatest living balk detective. found
one IN the seventh, which happened to
be Edwards worst inning. He spoke
some sassy words to OLoughlin and
was banished from the scene and later
from the bench. One of the rescue
pitchers, Mr.. Peters supplied the Sena-
tors with a batch OF four talhes in the
ninth.
At that. the said Senator's were not
without their troubles. The chief one
was Mr.. Paul Musser. late of Canton.
O. Leading products OF that state ap-
pear to be on the bum this season, but
that has nothing to do with the nation

toiled in vain TO muss Mr.. Musser. He
is less than 20 years old and had never
started in big league game.
In the sixth young Musser commenc-
ed to age rapidly His hot air COM
partments filled and he sailed away
into the azure dome. leaving the bases
stocked and not man out 1t was
here that Walter Johnson, the wizard,
came forth and wizzed some to the In
tense chargrin of the Sox. We got one
tally out of that suspicious start. Cal
whacked a short single while the bags
were filled. All the rest flied out.
The visitors made a total of nine
hits six of Walsh and three while Pc
ters was pitching the ninth. Our side
poled three singles. two off the mussed
Mr. Musser and Callahan's safety off
Johnson in the sixth. Even Mr.. Bodie.
