Chicago, ILL.,, May 9-The coolest place
in the world on a cold day is Chicago
at least the Climbers think so. for they
were frozen out Of the third game of
the series this afternoon, to 1, and
but for a timely whack by Ray Nor

only hint of warmth all afternoon peing
something Capt. George Mcbride said to
Umpire HiIdebrand for which Mac"
was invited to 90 to the side and look
in This happened in the sixth inning.
The Nationals are supposed to be Inn
mune from the cold and to show AT
their best while the thermometer mugs

this afternoon Possibly it was the air
tight pitching of Jim Scott. who per-
mitted very few liberties. Scott had
something to do with it. any way, for
he only allowed a handful of hits, and
kept them well<scattered, in addition to
being properly supported by his cast.
EnceI on Mound.
Toe Eneel started on the mound for
Grif, and somehow or other, could not
hand the Sox anything they did not
want The kid pitcher was not particu-
lafly wild. but two out of three passes
he issued paved the way for runs. Cal
lahan's bunch came through with hits
at the right time.
Gallia. who relieved Ensel, mad one
horrible inning. the seventh, when his
own ragged fielding and wildness gave
the enemy three runs, without the aid
OF a safe hit.
IL was so cold at Mr.. Comiskeys fort
ress that the official scorer was forced
TO run a hundred yards in the press box
after jotting down each play. The crowd
WAS small, composed mostly of women,
AS the management advertised ladies'
day, and even the appearance OF so many
of the fair sex in the grand stand could
rot aid Griff's young athletes in putting
over a victory.
Mcbride Banishrd.
For the third time since he has been
in the big show, Capt. George Mcbride
was put out of a game by an umpire.
MAC" questioned very questionable de-
cision at the plate, when to all appear
ances Eddie Ainsmith had blocked off
Weaver.
Umpire Hildebrand waved the captain
back to his position Mcbride rushed
toward him.
Il only want to question that play"
cried Mac.
"Al right you can do so; I'll see you
after the game Turn around toward the
clubhouse and keep right on going was
Hldebrand's reply, and Mac went.
The foregoing is McBride's version Of
the matter, but il is suspected that he
slipped over few torrid adjectives while
discussing the play.
In six innings Joe Engel was hit safely
five times and in all but the third inning
he kept the swats well scattered Gallia,
who worked the last two rounds did not
allow a bingle
Grinmen Score.
The Griffmen jumped into the lead in
the second when they scored their only
marker of the game, a very pretty earned
run. Laporte singled to right after WILL
Jams had been thrown out, Weaver to
Fourier. and Ray Morgan scored La
porte when he lifted the ball over Shall
lers dome for a double
Chicago pulled down this frail lead
in the third and jumped to the fore
when SHAVER walked. Rath singled, and
Fourier tripled. The ball Fourier hit
sailed high into right field and Moeller
was Just able to reach il with the tips
of his fingers. Had he caught 1t, it
would have been the catch OF the sea-
son.
In the White Soxs sixth, after Easterly
third on Viewers single, Scott forced
Mattick at the plate. Weaver going to
third on the out. Scott attempted to
steal second. and got away with it, as
Mcbride fumbled the ball on Ainsmith's
peg Weaver dashed for the plate and
was blocked off perfectly by Ainsmith,
who tagged him with the ball after the
return throw from Mcbride. but Umpire
Hildebrand declared Weaver safe ana
started a fine young rumpus, which
wound up in the elimination of the
Washington captain. Griff, too. was
quickly chased to the bench. a shift
had to be made. so Morgan was sent to
short and Germany Shaefer placed on
second. Both of them had chances to
handle before the game was over and
did not gum the cards.
wild Start Made.
Galia got away TO his usual wild start
by filing the bases on walks after he
had retired the first man. EasterIy sent
Gallia A sharp grounder, which the
pitcher fumbled, and then, seeing that
he had lost his chance to choke off the
runner at the plate, Gall1a slammed
the ball a mile over Al Williams head
and two more of the white stockinged
hrigades counted. The Sox third tally
in this inning was the result of a sacri-
flee fly.
The Nationals had two opportunities to
score later in the game. Morgan and
Mcbride filled second and first in the
seventh after two had gone and Griff
