BY JACK NYE.

Z, Finding the usual methods of
baseball strategy useless against
the slugging White Sox. the astute
Clark Grifith altered his plan of
attack yesterday and tried to over
whelm the hostile forces by sheer
force of numbers. He threw most
Df his entire brigade into the fray
at one time or another, using a
total Of sixteen men, but k1o
Gleason demonstrated that he had
\ few reserves himself and won
the verdict in the TENT inning oy
means of superior amr Rafion. The
score was IL to 9.
There was a lot of expensive
pitching talent used up during the
day. -Four of the National slabmen
took a turn at the visitors with
no. success to brag of. An equal
number of Chicago fingers were
called sto perform and they were
chiefly worried with lack of con-
troll. In addition three pinch hitters
beffed their names for the Grifts.
% Pitchers Look Bad.
1t was the same old story of in
,eficient pitching for the Nationals
al .Schacht was the choice to start,
but two rounds of his work con-
vinced Grifith that a change was
necessary for the welfare of the
community. The Sox had scored
-four runs while Al was in the box
and ran it up to six against Sny-
'der. who performed through the
sixth. BY dint of constant plugging
and much waiting at the plate, the
.Griffs scored one in the first, two
tin the fourth and tied up with
three more in the sixth when Roy
Wilkinson became erratic and,
Payne, who succeeded him, was
bumped with fair success.
81 With the score evened the Ma
ttionals began to hope and Harry
tCourtney was sent in to southpaw
,the visitors into submission. He
held the Hose back in the seventh
but in the eighth they took advan-
tage of his walk and a couple OF
i, hits and forged into the lead again.
sOne thing can be said for these men

BLIND BROOMMAKERS
CONTROL OWN FACTORY
Back Themselves Financially to
Enter Competition With
Regular Trade

The Philadelphia Workshop for the
Blind, just opened at 1401 Frankford
avenue. is to provide employment for
blind broommakers who find difficulty
In being placed because Of their affIic-
ton.
The plant started operations this
week on the co. operative plan. COM
pany being organized among the work
ers with capital of $1,000. of which
1880 has been paid in. An effort
is being made to interest more workers
in the project.
The plant is fully equipped with
modern broom making machinery, with
small force Of operators ut work.
Three expert broom makers, Philip
Metz. 213S Summer street; Frank
Grabowski. 3512 Lancaster avenue,
and Joseph zorn, 800 North Preston
street. all blind. were busily engaged
ut their machines today.
In discussing the co operative plan
the men displayed great enthusiasm ant
as the superintendent. G. +. MIckle
ton, explained the proposition. one OF
the workmcn intcrposed the following
comment:
''Wc blind fellows can make JUS
rs good brooms as our more fortunate
fellow workers despite our handicap
but naturally we can't work as fast o.
turn out as many brooma. This Is
great disadvantage in obtaining en-
ployment and steady work ut self-sup
porting wages. We do not care to be

The capacity of the plant with

to seven brooms a day.
