SPORTS. White Sox Losing Support at Home : FANS OF CHICAGO SHIFTING THEIR ATTENTION TO CUBS South Side Fans Are Convinced That Comiskeyites, | Beaten Yesterday by Nationals, 9-2, Lack Proper Fighting Spirit. BY JOHN B. KELLER. HICAGO, August 17.—Chicago fans are quitting the White Sox quitting them cold. A club highly touted in pre-season dope and expected to cut quite a swath in the American League pennant race this year, the Sox have failed miscrably and the club coffers are suffering accordingly. | Even those of the South Side, where the Comiskey aggregation holds | forth, who in past years have been White Sox fans of the first water are | turning to the Cubs for their base ball entertainment. That change of | sentiment indicates there must be “something rotten in Denmark.” so far | as the White Sox are concerned, for your Chicago South Sider generally believes there is nothing worth while to be offered by any other section of this great city. According to those suppc the know. the White Sox are no ing prestige wholly because have heen losers, While the fans here winners, they ar in PRETTY SOFT are keen for good sportsmen, | WASHINGTON. too, but the imp: on prevails that | Leibold, cf. e the Sox lack spirit, that too many | Peck. . xames have gone (o the opposition | Sosin, If. this season when a bit of fight might | Juge 7 have pulled them out of the fire.|Rue\ o...

It kept on its toes all the way through the double-header that day and with any Lind of a break would have scored a two-ply victory that would have put it in fourth place in Ban John- som’'s circuit Bushmen Start Fast. » 9 " 14 | commopuwne e 8| sewmsmuraab Blsbsnwusn 5 U Bl rornwoossod &l caumocone® nlooo~ocorco ol acescnsss! 8l nocoo~0000® vl coommpmmnl o Bl vocoonomnal Bl wumnmsnon 3 00 0.0 00 1 0 10 02 llnfl‘, I:_(‘b;cldh Stolen base —l{cl,hll:;d‘ ST e ste i hirl. | Fifes—Graham.

Russell did not pitch any too bril- lantly, granting twelve wallops and three passes in addition to cutting loose with a wild pitch. The Sox hit him in every inning except the eighth. but good support frequently saved; the hurler from serious difficulties. Three times the Nationals came through with double plays that end- ed White Sox innings. A pass to Peck and ngles by Rice and Judge gave the tionals their first run in the opening inning. Then Rice and Judge worked a double steal, the former scoring. Colline alded in the theft by making a wild return of Graham's throw to second base. The third was a big frame for the Bushmen. Leibold singled to right 7nd took second when Hooper booted the ball. Peck sacrificed, then Goslia singled, Rice doubled, Judge drew a walk and Ruel hit a one-bagger. Here Thurston replaced Cadore. After Har- | ris flied to Hooper, Bluege singled and Russell drove in the fifth tally of the inning with a_double to right Ruel’s two-bagger and Harris' sin- gle coming after two were out pro- duced a marker in the seventh inning. The last National run was made in the cighth, Leibold’s double, Peck's facrifice and Goslin's single doing the work The Sox grabbed a run in the sec- ond inning, which Falk opened with a Ringle. After Kamm was retired, Mc- Clellan rapped to Russell and the pitcher tried to get Falk going into third base, but the throw to Bluege was too late. Falk scored after Lei- hold caught Graham's fly. Thurston's double and Hooper's single gave the fox thelr second run in the seventh inning. CAUGHT ON THE FLY.
