Nationals Shut Out by the
White Sox, 5 to O.
PITCHERS ARE HIT HARD
Neither Ayers Nor Boehling Is Able
to Prevent Timely
Drives.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE Nationals
suffered their second defeat of the Sc
ries here today because of the terrific
bonn ba rdment of the White Sox gum
ners. Two more of Griffith's pitchers
were used up in the vain attempt to
stop the slaughter, which ended in a
5-to-o victory for the home team.
Scott gets credit for winning the
game, although he was yanked in the
sixth to make room for Tex Russell,
who finished the combat with colors
flying. The Nationals were unable to
connect with any hits when they
meant runs. 1t was just the other way
with the Sox. Nearly every time they
hit they sent runs over the plate. Only
four hits in all were collected by the
visitors. while the Sox got thirteen
safe blows.
There was crowd of 10000 fans out

throw to keep right on to second and
beat the throw SO far that Judge did

Joe jackson was the big hero of the
afternoons fireworks, for he raped
out three doubles in succession, and
fled out to Shanks on the last trip to
the plate Jack Ness was almost as
dangerous with the bludgeon as Joe
was, for he made three hits, one a
triple, but the other two were only sin
giles, and did not have quite as deadly
an effect
Boehling stood the fire for Ave innings
without much damage' being done to
him, but in the sixth he was hit to all
corners Of the lot, and had to be re-
moved to a place of safety and Doc
Ayers substituted for him. Not one of

Nine of them got to first because Of

count. so Scott was removed. After
striking out Judge in that round Scott

him. Griffith then removed Jameson

both Ness and Jackson. but Happy was
