BY WILLIAM PEET,

George McBride's three-base walIop in
the third inning, a tattoo of base hits in
the sixth gave the GriFmen yesterday
enough runs to hang up a to 0 victory
over the Chicago White Sox and Dull
the Nationals to within one and one-half
games of the Windy City brigade for
third place
As was the case on Tuesday. the Ma
t1onals again outfielded and outbatteo
the visitors. Bert Gallia pitched until
the sixth inning. when it looked as If
he was losing control, and Doc Ayers
was quickly sent to the rescue Aver,
finished the game and did not allow a
hit.
Joe Benz was Manager Rowland's Sc
lection and Benz was batted hard in
only two innings. the third and sixth.
but the Washington bombardment was
fierce enough to score the necessary runs
10 turn in verdict. and, after ALL it's
the team which gets the most runs
which wins
Manager Rowland, of the opposing
forces. used up three pinch hitters and
couple of pitchers in his desperate at
tempt to stem the tide, but il was no
use. the Griffmen were there with the
punch and the White Sox could not de-
liver.
Yesterdays victory was washinetons
fourteenth over the White Sox this sea-
son. the teams having met twenty-one
times
Judge Delivers Timely Single.
Joe Judge, the former Buffalo first
sacker. was instrumental in driving in
the first run with a clean single Judge
also put up a grand game in the field,
while his pal. Kid Jameson. also de-
livered safe blow and uncorked u
throw from left field that was beauty
and choked off a hostile tally.
The White SoX are credited with five
hits, and all the blows were obtained
off Gallia. The Texan was bit wild
and unsteady. but very much on the jop
in the pinches
1t was not until the third inning tnat
the Griffmen were able to do a whole
lot with the offerings of Joe Benz Cap
tain George Mcbride opened the third
with a slashing triple, driving the ball be-
tween jackson and Fournier. Eddie Col
Inns tossed out Gallia, but Judge was
there with = timely hit poking the ball
to center field and scoring Mcbride.
Benz then settled down and retired the
side.
Jameson opened the fourth with a sin
gle and got as far as third base but could
not score.
The Griffmen added another run in the
sixth when Milan jammed a single to
center. Jameson famed, but Barber
singled to left and when Shanks thumped
the ball to an unguarded spot in center.
Milan crossed the plate
Gallin Has the Goods.
For the first three innings Gallia had
little trouble disposing of the visitors, but
successive walks to Eddie Collins and
Fournier in the fourth together with
Jackson's sacrifice put the Texan in a
hole, and a run or two looked almost cer-
tain. but Gallia forced John Collins to
hit grounder to the box and Eddie Col
Inns was thrown out at the plate, while
Mcbride retired Johns and all danger
was averted.
A single, pass and wild pitch, put CAL
liza ''in dutch when the Sox came to pat
in the fifth, but Jamieson's corking throw
from lefS field. on Collins single turned
back Schalk at the plate for the final
out.
Fournier led off the White Sox sixth
with single and Gallia hit Jackson in
the side, which caused Griff to make a
shift in pitchers, Doc Ayers going to the
mound. Ayers not only retired the side
in order but finished the game in blaze
of glory not a single hit being registered
of his delivery The score:
