24 S Erickson Allows Whit PORTS. BEATS ROOKIE RUSSELL " IN STELLAR SLAB DUEL Sets Side Down in Order in Ten Sessions and Pulls Out of Trio of Bad Spots—Pass . Forces in [T C BY DENMAN THOMPSO HICAGO, August 20—Hurling one of the most impressive games turned in by a Washington boxman this season, George Erickson today led the Nationals to a 1 to 0 victory over the White Sox Lone Run.. in a battle crammed to the lintit with thrills, distributed over the entire length of the thirteen innings required to reach an issue. Olaf held the Hose to three bingles safely separated. In the cours; of the contest he was in danger of being scored on but three times an baffled the enemy completely on each occasion, while in ten stanzas only tise minimum of three aliens got a chance to appear at the plate. Little less noteworthy was the per- formance of his mound opponent, a 1éTthander named R. A. Russell, re- cently picked up in the sticks. Con- siering that it was the tall and héfty youngster's first appearance in|on & -fhajor league game, he may be_con- sidlered to have covered himself with glory. While he allowed just three times as many bingles as Eric, he en- joyed notable success in frustrating the best efforts of the Griffmen in the pinches, and the fact that ho was finally beaten was due to a streak of wildness he developed toward .the close of the marathon performance. Forces in Lome Tally. After escaping from half a dozen situations fraught with possibilities for Griffithian tallies Russell wavered in the thirteenth, which Earl Smith opened with a vicious crack past Sheely for two bases. Harris walked and, after Judge lofted to Strunk, Miller and Milan both waited him out, the free ticket to Zeb forcing Smith to the counting block ;Wwith the only tally of the pastime. The bases were left choked when Shauks skjed to Falk. Faulty work on the paths hurt the Nationals' chances on several occa- sions. With two down in the second and Milan on first by virtue of a safe- ty. Zeb allowed himself to be caught off and was flagged after a bit_of Jockeyi: Harris was deceived by Russell's motion and was picked off the initial station in the sixth, and following a clean single in the eighth wag cut down foolishly trying to stretch it on Hooper’s peg to John- soh. Again in the eleventh an open- ing was gummed, when Judge dashed o{nmnd a trifle before Hooper got his paws on Milan's fly, thereby fur- nishing the rear end of a dual killing. Hooper Robs Shanks. Hooper’s brilllant running scatch of Shanks' terrific clout to_center saved Russell in round 2, for Milan was on the runway by virtue of a single, and had the ball gotten through Hank would have made at least three bases on_it. Erickson’s walk in the third was eolitary, and in the following frame when Judge drew a pass and Milan connected for his second single, with two gone, Hooper again collared a liner from Shanks’ bat. Smith opened the sixth by beating out a swinging punt down the first base line, only to be forced by Harri Stan then was picked -oft first, an after a free ticket to Judge and Mil- ler's single to left Bing was forced by Milan. ’D\'enellmunesl by Harris in try- fng to obtain an extra base nullified his single in the eighth, and the ninth saw the neglect of a real promising opening. With Judge dis- posed of, Miller beat out a well- placed bunt to Russell and was safe on an attempted steal when Johnson muffed Sthalk’s good throw. Milan's roller, to Johnson, ,who tossed to Mulligah, resulted in the latter run- ning ‘down Bing, tagging him close to second., Zeb reached the midway ‘a passed ball, and, after Shanks walked, Gharrity's lusty swat was held back sufficiently by the wind for Falk to reach. Smith Singles in Tenth. A single by Smith in the tenth was unsupported, and an excess of anx- iety by Judge cost a chance in the eleventh. Joe was franked at the 'outset of this frame and moved up on Miller’s sacrifice. On Milan’s long fiy to Hooper, Judge beat the throw to_third, but when Schalk got the ball and tossed to Collins at second Umpire .Owens ruled Judge out for leaving the base before the catch. Another - double play pulled by the Sox in the twelfth turned back a ‘Washington athlete at the plate and evoked a storm of protest that for a time appeared likely to cause Mc- | Bride and Shanks to be evicted for jassault and battery on the spare fig- ure of Arbiter Wilson. Shanks open- ed the frame with a crack down the right field line which netted him two bases and he took third on Gharrity's sacrifice. This put it up to La Motte, who connected for a stiff drive to left, which Falk got under. Shanks ‘was off with the catch and appeared to arrive at the pan a fraction of a second ahead of Falk's peg, but he was called out and all the oratory and _gesticulations of the Nationals availed nothing. In Few Tight Spots. For_the first five rounds nothing resembling a bingle was obtained off the delivery of Erickson, although Strunk reached the midway in round 2 through a pass and Falk's sacri- fice, being left when Sheely and Hooper both popped. To Russell, in the sixth, fell the distinction of man- ufacturing the first Sox bingle and he was promptly doubled up when Johnson rapped to Harris. Collins reached the far corner in round 7 through his double to right and Strunk's infield death, but |Was left when Falk lofted to Miller, while Russell was forced by Johnson, after walking in the ninth, and the latter was nipped in an attempted steal, Gharrity pegging to La Motte, whose toss to Judge flagged Johnson sliding back into first. The Sox looked exceedingly dan- gerous in the tenth, when Eric’s con- trol wabbled badly. With Collins away, Strunk shot a safety to left, Miller holding him to one base by fast work. Falk popped to Harris, but Eric failed to get thé ball over for Sheely and Hooper, filling the bases. Schalk then forced Hooper with a2 whack to La Motte. Only nine Sox faced Eric final three sessions. in the| Dugan’s Beats Athletics, 3 to 2.

Red Faber is a winner with a losing team. The White Sox, clean but tattered, are but a jump out of last place, while Faber has scored more victories a2 C., Re than any other American League pitcher this season. The red-thatched hurler has won twenty-three games—just about half of the total number of games won by the Sox. Fi ‘aber has lost ten games and is second in the standing to Coveleskie of the Indians, who has won twenty and dropped eight contests. Faber e has faced the league-leading Yankees five times and has beaten them four times—a difficult feat to accomplish with a good team, but when backed by a shattered remnant of a club like the Sox it is excep- tional indeed. A pitcher of Faber’s caliber makes one doubt the seriousness of the loud complaints against the so-called “lively” ball. ‘The new ball never bothers Faber. And a poor ball club behind him does not prevent him from winning, either. PIRATES DOWN BRAVES Sent Thirteen Innings to Win, 6 to 4, Home Run by Bigbee Deciding Issue.

They'll have a terrible time ironing out stiffness in thelr joints if a fleet criminal bobs up on thelr respective beats. And it's all the fault of the Railroad Administra- tion’s conception of base ball. Whether the fear which generally grasps a civilian when he opposes a policeman played a strong part in that base - ball - exhibition game be- tween the. Washington Coppers and the Railroaders yesterday at the Mon- ument 16¢ 18 as yet unproven, but the fact remains that thirty policemen— thirty. of them—galloped-around the sacks and dented home plate with their ‘square-toed regulation-base ball shoes during the nine innings, while the Railroad Administration repre- sentatives were able to get only two return ° tickets to the plate from Moundsman O'Donnell, policeman. It was some game.. The Policemen | Barry,rf. are credited with twenty-five hits and The Railroaders were twenty. hits more modest in solving O'Donnell’s shoots, obtaining only five safeties, but they were more lib- eral with errors, giving the Policemen l{lr;e‘ times as many free, base-traffic tiokets. b ‘Wheén the perspiring scorekeeper looked up from his- portable adding machine and announced that the re- o | sult was 30 to 2 in favor of the Police, | the chances of the latter against the Home Defense League in the game of September 5, for the benefit of the police, rose fo 5 to 1, it was reported |3 confidentially.
