CARAWAY ALLOWS
BUT FOUR B|NGLES
Defeat of Jones Puts Nation.
ais Seven Games Back of
Athletics.
BY JOHN b. KELLER.

by the left-handed stuff
~ served by Pat Caraway,
the Nationals dropped
their third game in row to the
White SoX today. The Johnson
band got only four hits off the
Chicago Southpaw and but two
were real blows. One was made
in the first inning while the other
safeties were spread over the last
three innings. With attack so
weak, the Nationals could not
have expected more than the A.
to-1 licking they got. Now they
are seven games behind the pace
setting Athletics.
Sam Jones started on the hill for
the Nationals and the White Sox made
the thirty-e eighth birthday anniversary
of the Somber Squire of Woodsfield an
unhappy one. They nicked him for
only five hits in the seven rounds he
pitched, but one of the hits was turned
into run in the opening inning and
two hits were mixed with some frowSy
washington fielding in the sixth to add
three more markers to the Chicago
total.
1t was a drive by Red Barnes, former
National, that proved most damaging
to the Washington cause in the supset-
ting sixth. The drive was only good
enough for a single had it been handled
properly, but as Dave Harris let it get
by it might just as well have been
homer. 1t scored two who were on the
runway and Barnes managed to make
the round trip on the error.
Jones left the game after the seventh
and Ad Liska hurled the eighth. He
yielded a double and pinked a White
Sox batter, but that did not aid DOME
Sushs outfit.
Griffs Threaten ut Start.
II looked as though the Nationals
would dispose of Caraway in the open
ing inning for they filled the bases
quickly with only one out. but the left
handler braced and held them scoreless
Rice got a lucky double as a starter,
his pop being lost in the sun by Cissell.
Judge walked and after Manush Sacri-
need Cronin drew pass, crowding the
bases. This put 1t up to Harris. but
Dawes best was grounder TO Mulleavy
at short that resulted in a double play.
The White Sox got only one hit off
Jones in their initial batting turn, but
Il paved the way to a run. Watwood,
first up. lofted the ball to short center
and Harris tore in for catch when 1t
seemed he had little chance to make
one. The sphere fell several yards in
front of Dave and bounded by him.
What should have been only a single
became a two-bagger Mulleavy Sacri-
fced and Watwood crossed as Cronin
heaved out Reynolds from deep short.
Not until the fourth inning was there
any more base denting. Then Manush
opened the Nationals turn with pass,
but he never got beyond the first sack
for Cronin, Harris and Bluege were easy
for Caraway. Cronin lofted to Jolley
in short left. Harris watched a third
one go past and Bulge grounded feebly
to the pitcher.
The White Sox in the latter half of
the round. filed the bases with two out
when Jones was a trifle wild. Reynolds,
who had singled with one gone. was
forced out by Jolley. then Barnes and
Cissell walked, but Ryan forced out
CiSsell
Jones Loses Control.
Jones did not fare so we'll in the
sixth, though, when he lost his control
again. With one out Reynolds doubled
then turned the running task over TO
Fothergill because of leg injury. Jones
chucked two wide ones to Jolley then
purposely chucked two more to pass
the some times hard hitter. He threw
two wide ones to Barnes then grooved
enc and Red slammed 1t. The drive to
center was good for single only and
Fothergill alone should have scored on
the hit, but Harris let the ball get by
90 Jolley also got home and Barnes
completed the round trip by getting in
under Hayes relay TO the plate of
Harris throw.
The Nationals broke into the run
column in the seventh when Harris got
the second hit off Caraway, a drive
that Barnes tried desperately to catch
against the wall of the center field
bleachers. Cissell, who took Barnes
return, seemed in no hurry to chuck
IaII a. fkoI.n Iynx 49, 49,
for home and got there safely when the
White Sox second sacker was wild with
his belated throw.
1t looked as though the Nationals
might get another run in the eighth
when Ruel. batting for Jones after one
was out. beat out bunt and continued
to third as Caraway's wild throw went
over first base to right field. Rice,
though, popped TO the shortstop and
Judges best was puny roller to the
pitcher.
In the ninth the Nationals had two
on. but 1t did no good Cronin walked
after Manush famed and Bluege hit
for base after Harris famed. The
hit moved Cronin TO second only. and
the game was gone when Barnes ran
back and got under Hayes hoist.
A iashy stop by Judge kept a hit
from Jolley IN the first inning The
Nationals first sacker shared the ball
the grass and chucked to Jones for the
out.
1t took Manush a long time TO get
on base in the fourth frame After
going TO a 3-and-2 count with Caraway,
Heinie fouled of seven pitches before
the White SOx left-hander heaved the
fourth wide one.
When Reynolds was forced out by
Jolley in the fourth he hurt a leg as
he crashed into Cronin at second. The
injury forced Carl 10 retire after run
ming out his double in the sixth.
This Mulleavy plays a good game at
Ehortstop for the White Sox and looks
TO be a good hitter, too, but Jones
stopped him cold. Sam could not
check Watwood and Reynolds, though
That pair is the punch OF the Chicago
club.
