second and third loaded. and safe
swat would have brought home the
bacon. The man at the bat famed out.
How's that for real agony?
The fans and fanettes who failed to
attend the combat missed sonlething, TO
wit: The downfall Of two of the great
est pitchers in the American League.
Walter johnson lasted i've innings. Big
Ed Walsh got his in the eighth, and was
yanked-
Harry Lord, Chicago third sacker. con-
tfnued his cisagreeable habit Of driving
the ball to the unseen side Of the right
field fence, Lord put another OVER yes
terday. Ping Bodie, California fence
buster, stole Lords staff in the fifth.
Both slams scored extra tallies.
Every time We think of lucky breaks
we want to 90 out into the han and bite
a hole in the bannister rail- Three dou-
BILE plays by the Sox spelled misery for
the home folks. If BAN was hit hard
enough to knock leg of pitcher, the
visiting finger would stick up one hand,
defect the sphere into the paws Of an
infelder and the runner would be thrown
out at first
Yesterdays pastime was one Of those
affairs calling for a lot Of explanations
and permitting home scribes to yelp hard
luck and get away with it.
Sox Have Big Lead.
When the Nationals fifth opened Chi
eago had collected six tallies. Grifrs
climbers were funless. Then the climb
started. Who cares for six runs these
days? Our heroes tossed a couple into
the fifth frame, added another In the
seventh. two more in the eighth, and
one in the ninth. incidentally soaring the
daylights out of the Windy City gang,
but the game ended with only a bright
red scare. sorrowful TO relate Chicago
pulled down the most runs.
There was more going on yesterday
than attractions at a three-ring circus.
Every kind Of baseball known to science
was in evidence. Home runs for those
who like long distance hitting, double
plays for the fielding fanatics, batting
rallies and thrilling situations for the
fans who enjoy pure and unadulterated
excitement,

the hero of the 1--WE inning affair Mon
day. Lange just did get away with IT.
Walter Johnson had one of his OF
days. Just what was the matter with
the big fellow nobody seems to know.
Rath started OF the opening chapter
with clean single. Harry Lord shot
the ball over the right field fence. CAL
lahan died and then johnson frightened
up. forcing Bodie and Collins to strike
out.
Walsh opened the Sox third by tanning
but Rath dumped a bunt at Johnson's
feet. The pitcher slipped up and tried
to throw the ball from a sitting posi-
ton. Rath stole second. and when Cal
lahan just tapped the ball safe over
McBride's head, Rath came home.
In the fourth. after Bodie had gone
Collins grounded to Knight. The lanlCy
infielder slipped and the ball landed safely
out of reach. Zeider flied to Milan, but
TannehiIl was hit in the wrist by pitch
ed ball. Block singled to center, scoring
Collins.
BOdie Puts One over.
After Rath had walked and was
thrown out stealing. Lord singled. and
Bodie slugged the ball over the right
field fence. boosting the Chicago total
TO six points. This smash was too
much for GriI, whip relieved Johnson
from further duty.
In the Nationals second, with Schaefer
and knight on the sacks. and one down,
Mcbride hit into double play. Bitten
Benz was in the box when the game
opened, but after he had passed Schaefer
in the second, Benz was chased and Big
Ed Walsh took up the burden. That
nifty double play hurt.
Again in the Nationals fourth, with
Schaefer on first. Jack Flynn hit into a
double play, which also proved costly, as
Knight and Mcbride followed with
singles The hits came too late as Ain |
