times. In July, when the Tribe W
series. Plenty of trouble ahead 70
The Cleveland outfit is likely to
be full of fight in the final set OF
the campaign with the Nationals.
1t still is struggling to land the
third money in the league race.
The Indians are in third place
now, but with only a scant lead
over the Browns.
Every time the Washington club has
a chance to get anywhere in the scrap
ping for the top berth of the second
division these days it is unable to take
advantage of it. With the Tigers pres
emit occupants of fifth place, idling in
New York yesterday because OF rain,
Johnsons band could have tied them
with q victory over the White Sox. In
stead the Nationals we're defeated. 6 to
4, and now are a full game behind the
Harris horde.
Jones Hard Hit.
The Nationals had neither pitching
nor hitting with which to subdue the
White Sox in the third encounter OF
the series. Sam Jones, who started on
the rubber for the home side, was
socked freely, and took licking before
he gave way to Lloyd Brown in the
seventh inning. Jones had been nicked
for nine safeties, and one of the two
hits the Sox got of the relieving left
handler sailed the game for them.
Ed Walsh. jr., did the flinging for the
visitors, and made a good job of it. He
allowed but six safetieS and spread them
over five innings. That the Nationals
were able to get as many as four runs
was due to Walsh's wildness mainly. He
issued six passes. and three of these
were converted into tallies.
Five Nationals shared in the making
OF the six hits, Joe Judge accounting
for two. The White Sox attack was
better distributed. seven of the nine
members Of the Chicago lineup driving
the ball to safety. Walsh played a
prominent part in his clubs offensive,
twice singing after two were out to
drive over runs. Willie Kamm. with two
triples and a two-bagger, also starred in
the visitors attack, while Bill Cissell
fired a homer into the sun parlor back
of left field.
SOx Win In Seventh.
For time the Nationals made con-
test Of the affair. They rallied In tire
duce the White Sox lead to one run,
and in the sixth inning put over tying
tally. But in the seventh the Sox at
tackled sharply and drew well ahead
of the home side. The Nationals ex-
pended q deal of effort in their half Of
the seventh to get back one marker, then
wilted.
There was tallying by the White Sox
In the first two rounds. One was out
In the opening session when Cissell
lofted the ball into the left-field stand
and trotted around the runway. Kamm
began the second session with a three
Dagger. He remained on third and
watched Cronin heave out Hoffman and
Myer get under Kerrs pop But after
Berg drew a pass Walsh bounced the
bali far above the pitchers head and
made first before Myer could get the
ball there. This let Kamms crossing
count.
There was scoring by both sides in the
fourth. For the White Sox Kerr doubled
with one gone and took third IS Berg
was retired when it seemed Hayes. who
had picked up Noes grounder, might
have trapped Johnny on the line. Kerr
was caught flat-footed between second
and third, but Hayes after blum at
the runner heaved to first base. Then
Walsh wfacked q SINGLE sharp one
to center this time-and the White Sox
had their third run.
Griffs Start Late.
One was out in the Washington fourth
when Myer walked. After West went
out Tate also strolled to first base. A
single by Cronin put Myer over the
counting block, and another by Hayes
sent Tate home. The rally ended when
Jones forced out Hayes. The way to
the tying run that was made in the
sixth was paved when Myer opened the
inning by beating out a grounder to
Shires, reaching first just ahead of
Walsh, who crossed to get the throw.
West sacrificed and a wild pitch moved
Buddy to third After Tate walked Gro |
Minis long sacrifice hoist scored Myer.
Then the Sox put over their big at |
tack. Metzler began the visitors sew
enth with single and checked in at
second when CisSell was erased. Rey-
nolds singled Metzler home and went
to third when Shires hit a one-baser
that brought Brown to Jones' relief. |
Kamm nicked Brown for q two-bagger
which chased over two more markers |
But Willie was caught when he at
tempted to take third on the tnrow-in.
Judge made a nifty CUTOFF of the heave
and hurried the ball to Hayes to get
Kamm.
Brown started the making of WASH
ingtor's last run when he walked at the
outset Of the home seventh. Kerr
speared Judges wicked liner. but Rices
double sent Brown to third, from where
