ing would have told another story
but the games the thing. And what
would baseball be without errors
Sox Rather Lucky.
The Sox were perhaps lucky to score
at all Harry Lords home run, the re-
suit of a single past Foster, the ball
getting away from Shanks, in the fourth
inning saved the home team from the
ignomy Of q shut-out and the Sox's
four hits of the great Walter were
Jumped in the third. fourth, and fifth
chapters.
Noteworthy features were few and far
between. The Climbers raked Gala
hans pitching trio for eleven safe swats
and had no less than fifteen men left OF
bases. In addition to five errors, four
bases on balls were slipped our side, ana
only two measley runs resulted.
George Mcbride played swell ball for
the Grifrmen, and Hal Chase robbed
three aspiring young batters Of safe hits.
Young Mr.. Weaver, when he WASH
throwing the sphere over somebody's
head or into the dirt, also added a few
fancy stops and catches.
A crowd of 1000 fans, unusually large
for Monday, turned out. probably for the
reason that Walter johnson was adver-
tised to pitch. rs the Kansas blizzard IS
q mighty favorite in this neck of the
woods.
Larry Chappelle, the White Sox SIS 900
beauty. managed to come through with
one hit for which he was roundly ap-
piauded.
Moeller Gets Single.
Moeller greeted Rebel Russell when the
game opened with a scratch single to
left field and folIowed>th this UP with a
clean steal of second base. Foster
popped 10 Weaver, and Milan fouled to
Schalk. Gandil grounded to the Sox
shortstop, and Weaver threw the ball
into the dirt at first base. The pill
skipped blithly to the stands and Moeller
scored, Gandil pulling up at third on
the error. Shanks flied to Chapelle for
the third out, but the Climbers were in
the lead. and the run. although admitted
ly lucky marker, counted just the same.
The ball game was won by the
Climbers in the second inning. thanks to
George Mcbride and his trusty stick,
for George dumped a clean single back
of Weaver for a starter. Ainsmith was
safe on Russelrs tumble. Johnson famed.
and the bases were full when Moeller
walked. Foster was robbed of a hit
when his single to right was turned into
a force play, Collins gathering up the
ball and slamming to Weaver who
tagged Moeller at second. On this out,
Mcbride sprinted across the plate with
the run which spelled victory for the
Griffmen. Milan, with a line drive to
Collins, made the third out.
In the Nationals third, Morgan doubled
over Fournier's head, but was left
stranded. and when the visitors came up
to bat in the fourth Benz was on the
rubber for Chicago.
Fail to Score.
Benz was hit hard in the fourth and
fifth. The Nationals filled bases in the
fifth after two had gone and could not
score.
Eddie Cicotte twirled the ninth for
the Sox and Washington got to his de-
livery for a couple of clean hits, but
again were unable to grab of any runs.
Chicago's lone marker appeared in the
fourth when Harry Lord scattered a sin
gle through Foster. The ball sped past
Shanks, who made a flying dive after
II, and rolled to the left field corner of
the lot Shanks raced after the sphere
and the relay home was like lightning,
but Lord breezed over the plate before
could tag him.
