Ed WALSH ACHIEVES
A REAL COMEBACK
White Sox Hurler Beats Athletics,
6 to 2, in His First
1915 Game.

CHICAGO, July 11.-With $4,000 fans
roofing intensely for him, Edward CAL
righD Walsh, the spitbalr monarch.
came back yesterday, achieving a per-
sonal triumph unequaled in base ball.
He defeated the Athletics, s to :, in the
final game of their series here.
From the instant Walsh appeared to
warm up before that monster throng
that filled every seat in the big double
decker, until he was carried off the
field on the shoulders of admirers. it
was one continuous ovation to the
greatest diamond hero the South Side
has known. And Walsh more than
realized all expectations. There was
no one in all that assemblage except
Walsh himself who was confident of
the outcome.
Three different spasms of fear sent
shivers of dread through the multi
tude. The first came when Jim Walsh
slashed the third ball pitched on line
to center for clean. hard single. Was
it the shatterins of dream or merely
an accident? Apparently as uncon-
cerned as if it was his forty-ninth
game of the season, Walsh demon
strated that it was an accident.

Recommended by Collins.

On the seasons initial trip to Phiia-
delphia of the White SoX, Manager
Rowland was in quest of lead-oH
batsman of the type of Murphy. He
made an offer to Tactician Mack for
the right fielder. The negotiations were
not successful, but were reopened here
Tuesday with the result that the deal
was closed lust before the start of the
game yesterday afternoon.
The coming of Murphy to the White
Sox likely means that Memo Leibold,
recently acquired from the Cleveland
team. will either be sent back or forced
to warm a seat on the bench, as the
White Sox hold Murphy in high esteem
Eddie Collins recommended Murphy to
owner Comiskey and Manager Row

Another Spasm of Dread.

There was another brief spasm of
dread when Davies soaked a fast liner
to the fence behind John Collins at the
start of the fourth. for there was men
ace in the ring of that bat. But again
Walsh proved it was an accident by re-
firing the next three foemen. although
run scored on one of the outs.
Once more in the eighth dread stalked
in the hearts of the fans, for the Ath-
letics put two singles behind base on
balls and scored one more run. besides
putting runners on third and second
with only one gone. A long hit meant
tied score and there was trouble in
sight with such famous club swingers
as Schang. Lajoie and McInnis coming
to bat.
With supreme confidence Big Ed
struck out Schang and made Lajoie hit
a high fly.
A great cheer accompanied Walsh 70

scoring Foster. Gandil brought Milan
and Shanks home with triple to the
left field fence. and he came home
when Nef sent long sacrifice fly to
right.
1t was the first time in many days
that Walter johnson had an easy game
on his hands and he took fun adj
vantage OF it and !oafed through the
entire afternoon. He was hit safely
six times. but four of these were
scratches.
The Browns scored only twice while
the Nationals scored that many times
after getting their fur-run lead in the
opening round. Levcrenz was succeed
ed by hoob, a former Southern Michi-
gan League phenom, who, however, was
not puzzle. In the fifth the NatIodn-
ais got another run. Moeller and Eos

Milan and Gandil were doing some
forcing. In the seventh johnson hit
for two bases, was sacrificed to third
and scored wnen Foster drove out a

Browns Score in Fourth.
The Browns scored their first run
in the fourth. Austin hit an ugly
bounding grounder to Neff, who threw
far over Gandils head, Austin going to
third. The next two batters were re-
tired and then Walsh hit a grounder
to Mcbride which bounded over the
shortstop's head, scoring Austin.
Sisler got scratch double on a little
fly which fell safe over second in the
seventh, and scratch hits by Howard
and Pratt sent him home. The score:
