WEAVER ALLOWS
ATHLETICS TO WIN

CHICAGO. Aug. 23.-cIeverness alone
is today said to be responsible for the
Athletics 2-to-1 victory over the Chicago
White Sox yesterday. in their second
game of the series. Shortstop Weaver
is responsible for the run by which
Philadelphia was declared winner.
Murphy fled out to start the eighth.
Oldring singled, and Eddie Collins did
likewise, sending Oldring to second
Baker flied out. and Oldring took third.
Collins then stole second. and Weaver,
taking Schalks perfect throw. went to
the ground, with Collins safe on the
base
OldTing remained calm on third. while
Weaver lay there thinking Collins was
out. He rose and then rolled the ball in
the direction OF the pitchers box, and
Oldring quick as flash darted home
with the winning run.
Chicago had two opportunities to score,
but lost them when they tried to work
the double steal with men on first and
third Both times the man was cut or
at the plate.

who picks the Stovallites as his easy

Out after them.

My contention that Griff is loading up
with pitchers stands, for word comes
today that another pitcher is to be
added to the staff in the person of
Dawson from Clln Blankenship's s
team. What all of us want is a clout-
ing outfielder who would jack up the
hitting in the outfeld. Averages pub
Iished today show the Nationals out
field hitting at a .25S clip. which Is
somewhat of a Joke as far as major

half-fast ball. hung 1t on the Griffmen
yesterday, thereby keeping up his rec
ord as a jinx against them this year,
The hitting of the Capitolionas was
painful. Five scattered hits was all
the Griffmen could collect from the
Brownies twirler, and only in one in
ming were Clark Grifrith's lads abb to
bunch two together.
In the seventh the Climbers grabbed
two bingles, but the second came along
after a double play had snapped off
Danny Moeller. 1t was truly painful TO
sit in the stand and watch the feeble
efforts of the Washington hitters
against Stoval's second-string finger.
Joe H Boehling pitched good enough
ball to have won under ordinary cir
cumstances, despite the number of hits
registered of his delivery. The smiling
young southpaw might have won the
game at any time but for the weakness
Of his support with the bat. Five hits,
dispersed over four frames, were all the
Climbers could get of Mitchell, whose
benders had them buffaloed at all
stages Of the contest. The best fielding
in the world would not have won yes
