the program. 1t was called al the
count standing 2-all.
The opening tilt of the afternoon
with both National and White Sox
hurlerS unsteady was dismal enough,
but the home folk managed to main
tain an advantage over the visitors
the greater part of the way. GoSlin,
however, helped the latter to a tally
by some weld fielding in the second
inning and put them in the lead in
the eighth when. in position for
catch In short left field, he let Falk's
fly fall at his feet for a double that
scored two runs
Zach Charged With Loss.
Jezehel Tecumseh Zachary was
pitching at the time and was charged
with the loss of the engagement, but
Zach was only technically responsi-
Bile. The records. though, do not per
nit losses to be charged against out
tielders. George Mogridge, Allen
Russell and Paul Zahniser preceded
Zachary on the slab, and Oliphant

the National hurting staff, followed
him. The White SoX played no IA

Like the Nationals starting pitcher.
the finger who opened fire for the
White Sox failed to weather the first
inning. Charlie Robertson left the
one batter out. Gorham Leverett. re-
lief sla abman, was unsteady in the
second inning. but thereafter held the
Bushmen at bay. After the White
SoX knotted the count in the seventh,
Leverett did not permit hit.
George Mogridge came back to the
second game, and in the second in
ming. it seemed that he would have to
retire under fire again. Then the
SoX bumped him for four wallops and
Mogridge contributed to their run

tens. the Gleasons found the pitcher
8 puzzle, a single in the sixth and
another in the ninth being all they
could garner in the last seven frames.
Faber Checks Bushmen.
Urban Faber went the route for the
White Sox and in right nifty style,
too. He was slammed for a tally in
the second session. but that made by
the Nationals in the third was due to
faulty fielding by Faber's mates. Then
Faber took the Bushmen over the
jumps. even when they threatened to
innings.
There was much scoring crowded
into the first two innings of the open
ing encounter. In the White SoX's
Sheely singled successfully. Mostil

rridge was relieved by Russell. The new
conner disposed of Falk, but McClel-

and errors by HaEpeny, Mostil and
Schalk gave the Nationals four tallies
before Robertson was replaced by
Leyerett.
The Sox made the game even in the
second, a pass to Schalk and Mostil's
single because of Goslin's peculiar
fielding doing the trick. The Ma
tionals did what proved to be their
last run making in their part of the
frame. Leibold's walk, singles by
Peck and Goslin and Goose's force
out by Rice. followed by Ruel's and
Judges one-base knocks produced
three markers.

Then the White Sox began pecking

single and Mostil walked. Collins
sacrificed and Sheely was passed
filling the bases. Falk lofted to short
left. but Goslin had forgotten his
sun glasses and two runs crossed
Schalk single. Leverett's sacrifice
and Hoopers double accounted for
the run off Marberry in the ninth.
The White Sox got their runs in
the second game in round 2. With

the third a pass to Leibold, Nc
Clellan's erratic fielding of Peck's tap
and Gosln's sacrifice fly offset the
second White Sox marker. With two
