Evening star., 1925-07-11

Stanley COVeleSkle, premier SlaDmal
for service tomorrow.
After these stars have been employ
ed. Harris probably will have to fall
back on Jez Zachary and Curly Og-
den, of necessity rated as regulars,
and his relief trio. Should Walter
johnson, who has been suffering with
tonsilitis, recover sufficiently to with
stand the rigors of travel he may join
the club here, but it is not likely that
he will get into a game against the
Browns. Johnson probably will not
toe the slab before another week goes
by, according 10 meager reports com
ing from attending physicians.
Johnson's Absence Felt.
A Johnson certainly would have
come in handy in Chicago yesterday
when the wobbly pitchers of the
White SoX were slugged for ii hits
and plenty of runs. With any decent
slabbing the Nationals could have
walked away with the final game of
the series in the Windy City, but the
brand of flinging offered by the Cham
pionS was worse than that set forth
by the Hose.
Ogden essayed to check the SoX,
starting game for the third time this
gone. too. Curly lasted just two in
nings, during which time the SoX aC-
Cumulated six hits for a tive-run lead.
Then Nean Gregg took up the burden
and stopped the Pale Hose until the
Nationals had dubbed Charley Rob
ertson for enough runs to take the
lead by one.
Gregg Topped in the sixth, though,
and the enemy nicked him for tally
that deadlocked the fray. The seventh
found Fred Marberry on the hill for
the Champs and the SoX promptly
socked him for five hits and four
markers. Red Faber who started for
the SoX in round :, got by that ses-
sion well, but was bumped hard
enough in the eighth to enforce his
retirement after the Nationals had
climbed to within point of the home
club. Ted Blankenship was rushed
into the breach and he stopped all
scoring for the day.
SOx Get Gift Run.
The Sox got practically gift run
In the first frame. MoStil singled to
center and took second, when Col
Inns singled to left after Davis lifted to
McNeely. While Sheely was at
bat the SoX runners started a dual
theft. good throw by Ruel appar-
emily would have had Mostil out at
third base easily, but Muddy heaved
the ball over Blueges head to left
field and Mostil counted, while Col
Inns pulled up at second.
Bluege gave Ogden d poor start in
the second. making a wild throw, after
fielding Kamms grounder. Schalk
doubled kamm to third base and Rob
ertson'S Texas Lacquer to right tailed
Willie and moved Ray to third. Mos
tips two-bagger scored SChalk and
put Robertson at the far corner. Both
SoX runners held their bases as Og-
den tossed out Davis, but rushed home
when Collins singled through the box.
The Nationals did some scoring in
the third. Adams, batting for Ogden,
strolled, was sent to second by Nc
Neely's single, took third after Hoop
er caught Bucky Harris fly and
crossed the plate after Rice lofted to
Mostil.
Three more runs were grabbed by
the champions in the fifth. McNeely
and Boss Bucky singled and, after
Rice grounded TO Sheely, counted
when Goslin tripled over MostiIs
head. Joe Harris single sent the
Goose home, but Bluege let a strike
float by and Joe died stealing while
Peck was at bat.
Griffs Go to the Front.
The Nationals went to the front in
the sixth. Singles by Peck and Ruel
were followed by Gregg's sacrifice.
Peck got home with the tying run
as McNeely was tossed out. Bucky
Harris drew pass and Rice singled
to right, tallying Ruel and moving
the manager to the far corner. Cos
lin, though, ended the rally with a
long foul fly to Hooper.
The Sox got to Gregg for a tying
run in their part of the sixth. Schalk
walked and after Pinch Batter Elsh
famed Mostil and Davis singled, fill
ing the bases. Schalk crossed after
Rice bagged Collins fly, but Sheely
left two teammates stranded by roll
ing to Moon Harris.
In the seventh Marberry had a
terrible time. Falk shot a clean
single to center to open the frame,
then pilfered second, but was aided

hand. Had the hit gone directly to
Goslin Falk probably would have been
held TO third base. but the Goose
could not get to the DETECTED ball
quick enough to prevent Bib scoring.
Then Schalk put Kamm at the far
corner with a slam that caromed off
the third sack, and Faber drew
pass, loading the hassocks. Joe Har-
ris fielded Mostil's grounder, but was
too far from the bag to head off the
batter, and Marberry failed to cover,
SO Johnny was credited with his
fourth swat of the day, while Kamm
counted and left the sacks crowded.
Lucky Double for Davis
Faber was trapped off second base
and run down, Mostil getting to the
middle station during the play. Ike
Davis soCked the ball toward Peck
and just as the shortStop was about
10 grab it the sphere took a queer
bound over his head and rolled to
left for a two-bagger that scored
Schalk and Mostil. Marberry finally
retired the SoX by throwing out Col
Inns.
The Nationals came back in the
eighth for three markers. McNeely
walked and Bucky Harris singled
Rice beat out a bunt toward kamm
and all stations were populated. Cos
lin forced out Rice with a bounder
to Collins, McNeely dashing home
Moon Harris singled to right, scor-
ing Bucky Harris and, when Hooper
let the hit get through, Goslin fol
lowed his boss across the counting
block, while Moon reached the mid
