Judge Saves Situation.

The Gleasons had several chances
to break into the run column. In the
second Gandil got a safety. moved
up on Felsch's out and took third on
an infeld hit by Risberg. who stole
second. Only Judges fine stop of
bad throw by Foster on Schalk's hard

Just what is in prospect for the

Claude Williams is billed to toll for
the Sox. Claude is a pitcher whose
work bellies his given name. To see
him in action you would guess it was
Sam or Bill. Lefty" certainly fits
him better than the moniCker wished
on him when he was too young to
protect himself. Williams hasn't en-
Joyed Il huge amount of success
against the Nationals. He Won his
last time out, but needed the lucky
break he got when PiciniCh's terrific
smash struck the top of the screen
in front of Mr.. Comiskey's bleachers
and bounded back into Joe Jackson's
paws.
It's not Williams end of the argu

second inning paved the way for the
initial tally. and momentary slip by
Eddie Collins aided materially in its
realization With Charity trying to
regain his wind after the gallop
around to the far corner Shanks shot
a smart hopper to the right of Col

after boxing with the ball long
enough to enable Charity to scamper
home from third.
In the sixth Judge lined a drive
down the right field foul line for
two bases. took third on Fosters
safety and counted on Milan's long
fly to Jackson. This ended the scoring.

the most spectacular pieces of out
