Climbers Also Use a Trio of
Twirlers, But Efforts
Are Futile.
BY SENATOR"

Wheneyer Big Ed Walsh comes to
town u he always appears fp the box
1usrR as often as possible. That's why
the Climbers. after attacking DR.. G.
MARRY White most savasely, lost the
opening clash with the White Sox by a
score Of to 2. The Big Reel wound
them up in his coils and tossed on the
screen a tragedy.
If Jeems Jawn Callahan had left the
slender White on the mound, 1t is
cinch bet that Howard Shanks would
not have caught one on the handle for
roller to Collins, retiring the side
with the corners crowded. But that's
all the boy could do with the perpetual
pitcher OF the White sox. And 80 the
Nationals lost the honors with President
Taft looking on.
Hard Day on Twirlers.
It was q hard day on the twirlers.
Hughes was driven from the hill by an
avalanche of solid thuds in the fifth
frame. Five hits for four runs settled
his hash and brought Carl Cashion into
the mix-up. Two hits for one tally
were all the Sox gould get off the Caro-
lima curVer. Joe Engel, the Climbers
nilk-bottle hurler, finished the combat,
yielding two hits in as many innings.
"Rube" Peters hustled through six
innings Ike a regular conqueror. the
Climbers couldn't do thing with him,
but in the seventh they opened up their
heavy guns, pounded out four hits for
three runs, and brought disaster to
Peters, and Doc White to the hillock
The Fourteenth street sporting goods
merchant looked bad. very bad. in tlc
eighth, two hits and Il free ticket fill
ing the corners. 1t was then that the
| Big Reel began his deadly work. Wha Z
cared he that he had pitched the day
before In Cleveland? little thing like
! that WAS but workout and he counts
that day wasted which does not sec
| him so to the rescue OF some less able
but. as persevering a twirler. So the
| Climbers lost.
Trouble Starts In Fifth.
Startling support together with heady
twirling brought Hughes down the line
for Ave stations in apple pie order.
In the Fourth McBride's great catch OF
| Hughes peg, mailing Rath Off second
illumined the battle. The real shooting
fest was delayed until the fifth and
then 1t happened in full blast.
| Rolla Zeider, whose legs run north BY
east singled to center. Ernie Johnson
single to right sent the gargoyle to

neat sacrifice 10 Gandil. Rath cleared

The Carolinan began by walking Lord
who promptly stole. Bodie dashed one

a fancy stop of Collins hard drive over
near first base. Those four runs loomeC
large, though, against the Climbers
nothing.
In the opening inning Moeller had
| laid down a bunt and had worked his
way around to third. when Milan lined
to Harry Lord, transformed into a right
fielder. Moeller foolishly thought he
could beat Lords peg to the plate. He
! didn't. Mcbride singled in the third
| but was doubled up by Hughes. MoelleI
beat out a slow bounce to Johnson in
the fourth, but was doubled up off sec.

that's all the Nationals did until theil
outbreak In the seventh.
Chicago Scores Another.
In the sixth, with one gone. Cashier
passed Johnson. Gandil took care o1
Schalk, but Peters drove one through
the box to midheld. scoring Johnson
That was all the scoring done by the
Sox. but 1t was quite enough. thank
you. Ping Bodie. the Frisco bansns
