The Mats would prefer that no
mention be made of yesterdays pro-
ceedings at Grifhth Stadium, where
they were exposed to the embarrass-
ment of q fearful 1891 walloping by
the seventh-place Chicago White
Sox.
Eighteen hits, including home
runs by Rudy York and Cass Mich
aels, sprayed off Chicago bats to the
considerable chagrin of Sid Hudson,
Milo Candini and Scott Cary. Every
Chicago player got at least one hit
ana all of them also scored.
No fewer than six Chicago runs
scampered across the plate in the
seventh inning. when the White Sox
unloaded six straight hits of Can
dini and Cary in a seven-hit inning
Cary struck out the side that in
ming, but it was a long time before
he got around to 1t.
Mats Got Only Z Hits.
Meanwhile. Orval Grove, entrust-
ed with his first starting assignment
in month, scattered seven Wash
ington hits and was subjected to a
minimum of trouble, what with his
mates compiling 1910 lead for him.
1t was Groves fourth victory of the
season and his first since May 1S,
when the Mats also were his victims
1t was a gruesome affair for a
ladies day crowd of $3.50, who saw
what promised to be pitching duel
between Hudson and Grove rapidly
deteriorate into a slugging spectacle
in which the Mats exercised no in
terest.
Hudson, laboring for the first
time in two weeks after sustaining a
shoulder injury, suffered a damaged
reputation after limiting the White
Sox to one hit in the first three
innings. York greeted him with
home run blast into the left-field
bleachers, his 18th of the year, OPEN
ing the fourth inning and the power
parade was on.
Hudson Yields Two More.
With two out in the fifth Hudson
was clipped for two more runs. Don
Holloway doubled and scored on a
single by Ralph Hodgin, who stole
second and scored on Taft Wright's
single to left.
Wsshington's interest in the game
reached thesexpiration point in the
sixth Mtakn HE Sox clustered three
more runs. With one out Luke Ap-5
pling doubled to left and took third
when Miciaaeis grounded out, Singles
by Mike fresh and Grove shelled
Hudson from the mound and Can
dini, who replaced him, offered no
solution to the Mats plight. He was
greeted by another Holloway double
which scored fresh and Grove.
When Candini retired Hodgin on
a grounder to Vernon ending the
sixth it was his lone contribution to
the Mats cause. Wright started the
hectic seventh with a single and
York doubled him to third. Dave
Philley's single scored two runs and
when Appling singled Gary was
waved to the mound.
- Chisox Continue Streak.
That was all right with the White
Sox. .Michaels ushered him into the
fiasco with a single to center, scor-
ing Philley and fresh inserted Chi
cago's sixth straight hit, single to
left, scoring Appling. Cary famed
Grove and Holloway successfully,
but hit Hodgin on the back, filling
the bases. In that situation Wright
delivered his third straight single,
scoring Michaels and fresh, before
York watched a third strike.
The Mats then fashioned a luck
anointed run in their portion of the
inning. Jerry Priddy singled to left
and with one out AL Evans easy
grounder took a weird hop over Ap-
pling's head, sending Priddy to third.
Priddy scored when Cary forced
Evans at second.
With two out and none on in the
eighth Michaels pumped a drive to
the centerfeld corner and legged
out an nside-the-park homer.
Stan Spence, with brace of dou-
bles, was the only Nat to obtain two
hits as Washington's two-game win
ming streak perished. Wright and
Appfing each inserted three hits
each for the White Sox.
