Side clan landing the final game OF the
series. 4 tel.
Grin fooled all hands by sending Wal
ter johnson, the Smokeball King - the
mound. for the Nationals. Cool weather
has been following the Capital City tribe
during this entire Western hike. but Jack
Frost and breezes from the Yukon hit
this windy city after the rainstorm last
night which stifrened up the GriImen.
Although the weatherman presented a
day that would have been considered good
for the gridiron sport, a good crowd was
on hand. johnson failed to show any
effects OF the cold in his arm, and pitched
brilliant ball over the route. Six safe
swats were gathered on his delivery, but
the Sox punched three Of these in the
eighth for two tallies.
Opposed to the Fireball Finger was
Eddie Cycotte, who beat the Nationals
here IN the first game OF the series. Be-
fore the battle got under way the White
Stocking Crew gave an exhibition drill,
which pleased the fans. Nick Altrock got
IN a little OF his comedy when a detail
Of the guard Of the White Sox under the
order Of Felsch chased the Little Ger
man Phoy'' into centerfield and brought
him back to be executed in front of the
Chicago bench.
two-ply killing halted the Nationals
chances for a score in the first. Judge
popped out, but Foster hit safely TO
left field. Milan attempted to hit and
run, but Joe Jackson raced all the way
the fnfar-frapchaa and dOublRd uD
'Fatima" at Gandil's station. The Ma
tionals got a runner as far as third in
the second session, but failed to count.
Rice started with a smash to center
field and moved up on Smiths sacrifice.
Morgan sent up to third, but after
Alnsmith had been passed, Crane famed.
Chick Gandn paved the way for the
Southsiders first tally in the second
inning. when Jackson was given life on
Cranes boot Of his grounder. The shoe
less clouter moved to second on Fleshe's
Ereener to Morgan. Gandn then hit over
second base, but Crane in his effort to
gather IN the ball kicked II into right
field and easy romping for Jackson.
johnson started the Nationals third
with a blow to Risberg. The SoX short
fielder pegged into the dugout and Walter
took second. Judge moved him to third
but Walter was nabbed at the plate on
Fosters grounder to Cycotte. With one
down IN the third Liebold doubled to
left and stole third. Collins followed
with a safe blow to left. and Leibold
scored.
Uncle Nick Altrock was run to the
club house as the sixth inning started
for initiating Umpire Barry Mccormick.
Mccormick sure has his irons out for the
Nationals and the sooner the Old Fox
kicks on him handling his games the
better II will be for the Grinmen. The
Nationals pushed a marker across the
counting block in the sixth when Foster
tripled to left field and scored on
Milan's sacrifice fly to Leibold. Johnson
got as far as third again in the eighth
inning with one out but failed to tally.
Walter started with a double and went
to third on Judges sacrifice. but Foster
and Milan proved easy picking by
popping out. The score:
