Rice Counts Marker.
Although Johnson actually pitched
heady ball. his mates gave him all
hey had in the way of help. both
nielders and outfielders coming
through time ard again with
catches or plays OF the kind that
are not produced every day. Faber
wasn't that lucky as the error col
lmn indicates
The lone tally OF the day was
carried across the counter by the
ieet-footed Sam Rice. He opened
he ninth with a single to center
and was sacrificed. Shanks then
'anned and Brewer lifted a tall fly
between first and home. Sheely
elected to take IT. but II oozed
through his paws. Rice was across
the plate before Sheely even had
time to bend over and pick up the
ball.
Rice not only counted that run,
,ut was the principal reason for the
Sox being kept away from the
counting station. Twice he pulled
drives that were labeled hits and
Zach cut off a sure run. probably
more He staged the first catch on
Ealk, with Mostil on second. in the
Iecond inning. He raced over into
eft field for the ball. which was
being carried away from him by the
wind. His other hair raiser was
even better. being a one-handed
latch over his shoulder of a drive
Ient to deep center by Collins. with
hulligan on base in the eighth.
Friends Honor BIuege.
Prior to the game friends of
Bluege. a local boy who rose from
the semi-pro ranks to the Senator'S
third sacker. presented him with a
bunch of flowers and a travelling
bag Bluege then gave his gang
something to gloat over by opening
the battle with a single. Rice and
Shanks also hit In that inning, fill
ing the sacks with two out, but
Faber got out of that when Brewer
fouled to Schalk. From then until
The ninth the Senators didn't get a
man to third base.
After that feverish first the re-
mainder seemed straight velvet. II

Hits were scarce. and when Bib
'Falk led off with a trick single In
the Sox fifth 1t looked pretty good.
But Sheely slammed one at Judge
and a lightning play doubled the
boy to Harris to Judge again.
Again for a moment it looked
good. Schalk walked and Red Fa-
Der pasted a clean one to center.
but Judge made a circus grab of
Ernie Johnson's poke and Walter
Johnson took the throw neatly on
the run.
Errors began to accumulate for
Ernie Johnson but when he was not
bad he was exceedingly good.
Eddie Mulligan pulled a slick play
in the seventh after Johnson's third
bobble had made a slick play neces-
sary. With two on and one out, he
knocked down Peckinpaugh's hot
slap, touched the bag for Shanks'
out and Gc"hled Peck by a bullet
like slam to first.
Eddie Collins was never nearer a
three-base hit in his long career
than when Rice made that star one
hand stab of his long drive in the
eighth.
It hurt no more than the single
with which Sam Rice opened the
ninth. for a moment later he was in
with that run.
