White Sox Second Game
Howard Throws Wide o.
Mark in Sixth and Chi
cago Takes Second
Game, 3 to 2.

When Howard Shanks cut loose a
wild heave in an attempt to finish
the execution Of a double play. In
the sixth inning yesterday it proved
just wild enough to allow Pants
Rowland's White Stocking tribe to
take the second game of the series
from the Nationals by a to 2 count.
Eddie Charity fielded a grounder
from the bat OF Chick Gandil and
headed OF Happy Felsch at the mid
way cushion. With a made-to-order
double play in sight Shanks' relay
back to Charity went wide of its
mark and Joe Jackson dented the
disk with the winning marker.
The White Hosed tribe made
things a little warm for Bert Gallia
during the six innings he was on
the mound. but failure to execute
the hit and run play held the White
Sox run getting in check; while two
fast double plays killed of real rail-
lies in the fourth and NTH sessions.
Jimmy Shaw finished out the route
for the Texan when H. Milan was
used as a pinch hitter in the sixth.
Joe Benz wished a tantalizing spit
ball on the Grihmen for six in
nings. but his generosity in the
third inning put the locals in the
old ball game. A quartet of hits
was the allotment that the Griff-
men registered of his slants. while
Dave Danforth. who worked the
final three sessions. set our crew
down in the one, two. three order.
The Old Fox and Pants Rowland
staged an interesting strategy duel
in the sixth inning when the Ma
tionals had their big chance to put
the game on ice. Rice and Morgan
hit and Benz loaded up the bags by
passing Ainsmith. With the stage
all set for a healthy waIIop, the
Old Fox called upon Joe Judge to
step in and hit for Gallia. but Row
land feared the pole-work that
Judge has been doing during the
past few weeks and Immediately
sent Benz to the showers and put
Southpaw Danforth on the hill.
Grin used the theory that a right
handler should come through against
a southpaw and just after Judge was
announced Griff sent Horace Milan
into bat and Joe was through for the
afternoon. although he failed to par
ticipate in the ball game. Horace's
effort was a long fly to Leibold, and
the Nationals chances to grab the old
game was over.
