The getaway game in Chicago yester-
/ day was thriller in every respect, and.
to the credit Of George Erickson, it must
be said he deserved better fate than

the Sox to three bingles and one earned
run. only eighteen Hose facing him in
the SIX innings from the nth through
the tenth.
l The Nationals had no less than three
chances to put over the winning punch
In the. later stages. and appeared to have
done 1t In the eleventh, when Erick pro-
duced a, bingle that apparently scored
Miller from second base. A near riot
developed when Umpire Hildebrand ruled
otherwise. the arbiter being surrounded
with wildly gesticulating Griffmen. led
by Mcbride, who showed and mauled the
umpire all over the diamond in his
frantic protestations.
