HONOR IN SECOND GAME
Tex Russell Blanks Boston, 40,
When His Team Needs
to Win.

CHICAGO, July 17.-White
and Red Sox split a double
header two ways today. the Red
Hose Company winning the first
half, e to 4, and Chicago's Sox
taking the second, 4 to o.
Poor support given Jim Scott
was responsible for Chicago's de-
feat, for the first game was tossed
off after it had been won. Tex
Russell and iris Speaker, two
natives of Texas, were responsible
for the victories. Russell pitched
a brilliant game against the Car
rigans, holding them down to six
hits, no two of which came to-
gether. He was given splendid
support, in great contrast to that
which was not given Scott. The
Sox won the game with two runs
in the third, which resulted from
a boot by Speaker, converting a
single into round trip for Eddie
Collins, with Weaver on the way
ahead of him. That was all the
Rowlands could get off Leonard
in seven innings, before he gave
way to a pinch hitter. They
grabbed two more in the eighth
off Mays. Eddie Murphy made
his bow in right field, replacing
John Collins, and got an excellent
start, cracking out two singles in
the first game. He dropped an
easy fly in the sixth of the first
game, but was fortunate in not
having it cost anything.
| Fourier was chiefly responsible for
the upset in the first game. He made
! two costly mechanical errors and
pulled one bone play, all of which mel

hit hard and had poor control in addi-

also made costly errors behind Foster.

the second game he started the rally
in the second with a clean-cut triple

feed on another occasion. 1t is al
ways pleasing to see Mcbride hit, and
whenever he does it usually assures
victory for his team.
Jones, one of Fohls pitchers, was
used in both games, and did not fare
well in either. He is not bad pitch
err at that, but he is being used aimos |
exclusively to help out the other
twirlers when they get into trouble.
Tom Connolly did not look as if he
was in a biting mood, and after
striking out twice in the first game
and starting off with another fan in
the second. he was benched and Neff
took his place. The Virginia boy did
much better, and also played swell
fielding game at third. Neff could be
developed into mighty good third
baseman if he were played there regu-
larly, which he is apt to be. for Grit
fifth is not sure that Connolly will hit
as he did when he first Joined the
team, having fallen off badly in his
stick work OF late. One scratch hit
is all to go to his credit in something
like the last twelve games.

1t was great pitching and good hard
hitting which made the Nationals look
like real ball team today. If the
pitching tomorrow can be duplicated
and the team plays at the same stride
it would not be at all surprising If it
added a double header which is slated
for the Sabbath, in which event there
is little doubt about the Nationals
moving up in the first division and to
an extent, tleast, becoming factors in
the race With Boston, Detroit and
Chicago losing occasionally it would
not require very long winning streak
to put the Griffmen in the running.
Jim Shaw gave a wonderful exhibit
ton of pitching after Ayers was
knocked out in the second game. He
displayed a remarkable lot OF ability
and, incidentally, gave but single
base on balls. His speed was terrlfhc
situation during the eight innings he
performed Shaw added somewhat to
ne hitting by lacing out two Singles
and he handled himself so well that
there is much hope OF his holding
higher position on the staff than he
has at any time to date.
Boehling famed ten men in the first
game. He seemed to be able to do
this in the pinches, which had much to
do with holding the score of the oppo-
sition down to a minimum. The team
played mastery ball behind him and
there were several occasions when the
partisan fans were forced to cheer the
visitors.
Eddie Foster played some fine inside
ball today. In the first inning, with
! Moeller on second in the second
game, the Indians figured he would
sacrifice, so kirke came running In for
play Foster. however, changed his
tactics and drove the bal! right at
