CHICAGO, May 24-Timely
blows by the bludgeon of Amos
Strunk collaborating with Harry
Hooper and Eddie Collins gave the
White Sox a hard-earncd victory
today over Washington by score
of 6so-s in the third scrap OF the
setSe-~
STINK peeled off three singles in
four chances and drove home half
the runs Chicago made. Hooper
and Collins made two swats apiece
and one of Harry's sent home the
first tally, while the other and both
,f Eddie's figured in the tally sheet
That kind of support with the
stick. and scintillating backing in
. the aeld enabled Dominick Mulrennan
70 achieve a victory in which he
went the full route in spite of a
tendsncy to wildness in spots. He
contrihuted a single of his own
Ehcn-drove in one run.
~-Aeosta Treated Rough.
Jcses Acosta started on the slab
AGAINST the Sox ana the beginning
listened like a nightmare with
scream appended. for he passed the
irst two batsmen who faced him.
The invader found the range, how
ever. and lasted through five in
nings in spite of some rough going.
At the end of the enemy's sixth they
1ad tied the score by two explosive
rounds and Schacht was called on
TO complete the job. after a pinch
hitter had failed to change the map.
Hooper, Mulligan, Collins ana
Johnson shone with brilliancy in
MuIrennan's support. Hooper went
almost against the bleacher screen
in the second and nabbed a drive
which Judge meant for Babe Ruth
knock. 1t helped Mulrennan out of a
hefluva mess too. Then in the ninth
Harry raced across and stole anoth-
Pr whale of hit from Judge. John
son made two difficult plays in the
eighth and ninth which STAYED of
rallies and stops by Mulligan and
Collins killed off hits that might
have changed the result.
Grins Count Thrice.
Passes to Johnson and Mulligan
in the first started the Sox on their
way and Hooper's single made one
Of them good for a round trip. The
Senators wiped out that slender
margin in the second when singles
by Miller. Shanks and Picinich got
tangled up with a pair of passes
and a sacrifice fly for three runs.
The Sox countered with one in
their half on Yaryan's first double
and Mulrennan's single. They cop
peed the Head in the third by solid
swatdng. Collins, Hooper and
strunk ripped of singles, and Var
yan sent another double whistling
Into left field.
The>senators started some more
jazz in the sixth when three hits
and a sacrifice scored two men and
tied the knot, but it wouldn't stay
tied.
Collins opened the seventh with
a single. but was forced out by
Hooper. Falk's out advanced Harry
TO second and he took a taxi home
on Strunk's third single, deliver
ing the winning run The visitors
hit the ball hard in the last three
rounds. but not where the Sox
weren't
Ray Schalk was not in uniform
for the first time in many moons.
His busted thumb was too pain
full TO let him catch. so he spent
the afternoon wiggling on the
bench.
Hooper would have been safe at
second in the third il he had not
overslid- He was on first when
Falk hit to Harris, who shot the
ball to short. O'Rourke tried TO
make a double play of it and muffed
the ball. Hooper, expecting to be
out couldn't stop and was tagged
by O'Rourke before he could get
back.
The last two balls the senators
hit were screamers. Judges went
to right center, but Hooper headed
IL on. Mflan's liner went to John
sons left and he barely reached
IL, the force of the drive nearly
topping him over.
