Two pitchers were needed to turn the trick against the White Sox. Walter Johnson had to retire after a fifth-inning bombardment, but Allen tussell held the enemy at bay the remainder of (We way, while the Bucks hit Gorham Leverett hard enough to knot the count in the fifth and went on to victory at the ex- pense of Mike Cvengros, who started the sixth round. Ted Lyons also came to the hill in the sixth, but the ucks had tucked away their fourth win in the five starts in the series against the Chisox. Chisox Start in Second. The Chisox began denting the plate in the second inning. Sheely got a pass off Johnson and was singled to second by Falk. Kamm sacrificed and McClellan also bunted for a squeeze Dlay that tallied Sheely. Another marker for the visitors was hung up in the third. Two were out when Elsh doubled to right. Then Collins hit for a base and Elsh got home easily. In their part of the third, the Bucks knotted the count. Peck be- gan the round with a walk and, after Johnson fanned, took third as Rice singled. Leibold singled Peck across, but Sam stopped at second. Bluege poled a one-baser to left that tallied Rice and put Leibold at third. Ossie then pilfered second. and he and Nemo were stranded, for Goslin fouled to Crouse and Judge popped to Collins Johnson was smacked solidly by the Chisox in the fifth for three runs. Crouse was passed to open the frame, but was forced out when Leverett bunted. Archdeacon, however, sin- gled to right, and when Rice let the ball get by Leverett scored and Arch- deacon took third. Elsh's out let Archdeacon get home. ~Then Collins doubled and was tallied by Sheely with a single. Falk also slammed a one-baser, but Kamm fanned. Again the Bucks tled the score. TRice started the fifth with a single and went to third when Leibold got his third single of the game. Bluege fanned, but Goslin walked, filling the sacks. ' Judge's single counted Rice, and after Ruel flied to Falk, too short to permit Leibold to attempt scoring after the catch, Harris walked, forc- ing Nemo home. Schalk tried to snare Bucky off first, and while Sheely was still trying to discover if he had retired the Nationals' manager Go: lin stole home with the tying counter. In the sixth the Bucks went to the front. Cvengros walked Russell, but the latter was forced out by Rice. Leibold, though, got his fourth hit af the fray, a bunt-single, and Bluege walked. Goslin's sacrifice fly let Rice score and Leibold take third. A wild pitch to Judge enabled Leibold to get home. Judge.drew a pass, then Ly- ons came to the mound and stopped the scoring. CAUGHT ON THE FLY CLEVELAND, July 25 (Special).— President Griffith is so enthused by the race his Nationals are making that he plans to take at least part of the Western trip with them. He will join the club here tonight or to- morrow. Kamm saved Ruel an error in the fourth inning of yesterday's game in Washington by oversliding second base in an attempt to pilfer. Willie beat Muddy’s heave, which was high and wide, but Harris, who took the ball with’ a jump, was at Kamm in a flash after the Chisox had skidded by. Archdeacon made remarkable catches of Goslin's liner in the first frame and Judge's in the second. The Chisox fielder had to go far and fast to turn the trick on each occasion. Ruel did some stellar foul catching fn the third. Archdeacon and Sheely gave him unusually difficult chances. Archdeacon speeded to third when his_single slipped past Rice in_the fifth. He then scored on Elsh’s high bounder that Judge and Harris had to handle quickly to retire the batter. Leibold did somae fast stepping in the sixth after laying down a bunt, und beat Cvengros' throw to Sheely. C AUTO GLASS 02 WINDSHIELDS OB BODIES. . Taranto & Wasman 3. 3017 XEW YORK AVE.

BALL /S BUNTED SO THAT CATCHER, NOT PITCHER, mMysT IOLE IT. What is a squeese play? Answered by FRANK FRISCH, New York Giants. * ok x % A squeeze play occurs when there is a man on third base. The batter gives a sign of bunt toward first base and the runner starts home as soon as the pitcher starts to pitch. The batter must have some sort of a sign with the runner on third that he is going to work a squeeze play. Without a sign things could not work out properly. The ball should always be bunted so as the pitcher will not be able to handle it, because if the pitcher gets his hands on it he usually is in position to throw out the man at home and thus break up the entire object of the play—to score a run.
