was sent UP to hit Tor Catcher
Kuhn. Boehling whistled three
strikes across the plate in jig time,
and then the band played sweet
music to Griff's ears.
Three Pinch IIitters Fail.
Callahan inserted three pinch hitters
into the bazaar at different intervals, but
Boehling disposed Of them as fast as
they came up. After it was all over
Jimmy Callahan rushed up to Griff, ex-
tended his hand, and cried, You've got
a great pitcher in Boehling; Clark, con.
graduate you"
With today's victory Boehling has beat
en- every club in the league except St.
Louis. ard the game he pitched against
the Mound City gang last week is re-
Sarded as a triumph for the Richmond
boy, as it will be remembered he made
the Brownies look foolish. and was only
taken ont tc make room for pinch
hitter.
Opposed to Boehling when the combat
opened today was our fellow townsman,
Doc. q. Harris White, one-time great
southpaw, but who seems to have lost
most of his former cunning.
Poor Support Hurts White.
"HllC Was safely HNt tllIfts- the
same number the SoX obtained off Boeh-
ling. but the lanky dentist was the vic
tim of horrible support while the WASH
ington southpaw's backing fairly bristled
with sensational fielding.
White was lifted after toiling five
rounds. during which period the Climbers
amassed all their runs. Clarence Smith,
a young right-hander purchased from
the Birmingham CLUB, of the Southern
League, finished the game. and only one
member of the Washington clan saw
first base Not a safe blow was recorded
off Smith.
Milan and Mcbride contributed two
brilliant fielding gems. while Chappelle.
the latest addition to the White Sox, was
the demon slugger of the afternoon, with
two hits out of four times up.
Climbers Start Scoring.
Griff shifted his batting order back to
its original lineup. Moeller, instead of
Morgan. leading off. Danny scored two
runs for our side, one Of them being a
fluke homer in the fourth. Moeller
opened the game by drawing a pass and
going down to second when Doc White
was detected in the act of making a balk.
Foster and Milan both died. but Gandil
blasted the ball through Harry Lord.
and Moeller crossed the plate.
After Mcbride had given Kuhn a life
on a tumble in the White SoN's second,
Collins hit into a double play, which
helped Boehling over a rough spot.
The Climbers added another marker in
the second, thanks to some strong-arm
work on the part of Catcher Kuhn. After
Shanks had walked, Mcbride singled.
Boehling hit sharply to Berger. who
threw Shanks out at the plate, Mcbride
going around to the far corner. Boehling
stole second when Kuhn threw the ball
into center field, and on this. error Nc
Bride crossed the plate.
White Sox Tally.
The Nationals third was barren of runs,
but during the final half of this chapter
Boehling was hit safely three times. and
handed out his only walk of the game:
but, at that, Chicago only scored one run.
White, Chappelle, and Berger singled in
succession, Berger's blow scoring White.
Lord was passed, filling the bags, and
Chase popped to Foster. 1t was here
that the mighty Ping Bodie was sent up
as a pinch hitter. and bit the dust with
three healthy swings
The game was salted away by the
Climbers in the fourth, when the Sox
played like lot of schoolboys. Shanks
hit one through Chase, which the great
player should have eaten up. Howard in
attempting to sneak down to second was
thrown out Mcbride walked, and Hen
ry singled, the clout advancing Capt.
Mac to third. Griff's favorite delayed
steal was here attempted. and Mcbride
scored, as Chase, in attempting to head
off Henry at second base, threw past
Weaver. Boehling struck out. Moeller
an ordinary single to center,
but Chappelle misjudged the ball, which
got away from him and rolled to the
fence, Henry and Moeller both scoring.
Smith Hurls Well.
chappelle connected for a cheap double
in the fifth, the ball falling out of Can
dis reach, and during the remaining in
nings not a single member Of the Calla-
han clan saw first base.
Young Smith also came through with
gilt-edged f1inging. An error by Weaver
on Henry's grounder n the sixth per-
mitted the only Climber to scrape up a
