Harris waIlop Flattens Eddie.
Though Harris can point to but
one infield bingle in the box score,
it may be said of Stanley that he
hit Cicotte harder than any of his
mates. In fact. Stanley put him
down for the count of nine when he
raped a hard one right into Ed
dies bread basket.
The pitcher sank to his knees as
he tried to field the ball and stayed
there for a brief period, evidently
in distress. Fears that he was badly
hurt wsre dispelled, however. when
he got his breath once more and
came up smiling. He continued to
twirl in his usual confident manner.
Governor Ellerbe, who has been
hitting quite freely of late. retired
from the conflict in the seventh
when he became string halted run
ming down TO first. His tussle with
the alligator at the Tidal Basin may
have had something to do with it.
The. turn of events and the ankle
gave Maurice shannon a chance to
break in at his old position at short,
though he shed copious alligator
tears as the Governor limped to the
bench.
one run in the first round gave
the Sox a margin to play on. and
they put the Griffs in a position
where it was a fight to tie things
up thereafter. Twice they did even
the count, but these efforts expend-
ed their punch. and in the last two
frames the visitors forged into the
lead and maintained il.
Collins Gets Lucky Hit.
Two hits were registered off
Zachary in the first, and then for
five rounds he didn't allow a man
TO reach first. But the bingles came
after that, several of them of the
lucky variety. For instance. CoI
Inns rap in the eighth bounded
right over Harris dome when ne
was all set for it. Jackson got a
double in the seventh, when Milan
failed to start in time on his Texas
Ieaguer to left. Hits like these
may be called unfortunate. from
the viewpoint of Zachary, but they
hurt just as much as any kind.
Leibold inaugurated the first
round with a double to right, and
Eddie Collins whitfield. On Weaver's
tap to Zachary Leibold was out,
scoring on Jackson's double to CEN
ter
1t was not until the sixth that the
Nationals were able to score one and
tie it for a brief period. Judge
started things with a hit to Weaver
and was sacrificed by Milan. Rice
also raped to Buck and beat the
throw to first on close decision,
placing Judge on third, from whence
he-scored on Roth's bingle to center.
Two Each in Seventh.
Two more Chicago runs came in
left, Ftlsch's rap to center and Ris-
berg's single to the same place.
In their half of the seventh, the
Nationals also scored two and again
. ID il up. Ellerbe raped one to
left which should have been a
double, but he could only limp to
first. where Shannon ran for him.
After Charity and Zachary had
been retired. Judge raped a fast
one at ]. Collins and was safe when
he booted il. Here Zebediah Milan
dropped a rap into short right CEN
ter, both Shannon and Judge scor-
ing when Jackson juggled the ball
after it had been detected to him
BY Felsch. That was all of tie
National scoring for the afternoon.
Cicotte opened the eighth with n
single. ard Eddie Cbilirs' rap. which
took 4 hop over H Irris' head. sent
him to third. from whnnc. he scored
on. Weaver's long lily to Milan. T j.
puk the enemy one to the go d,
ami Felsch's double. Risbcrs's safe
burt and Schalk's LihS!e to center
added the fifth and last arker in
the pirth.
