Ruether’s Good Showing Offse SOUTHPAW IN FINE FORM 'FOLLOWING LONG ABSENCE Dutch’s Gratifying Work Is Nullified by Sensational Exhibition Given by Thomas, Who Yields But Two Hits in Winning, 3-0. BY JOHN B. KELLER. CHICAGO, June 14.—Today's game between the Nationals and hite Sox has been postponed on account of rain. ‘ first long trip of the vear for the Nationa's, means taking five of the six games remaining on the schedule before the club appears in Washington aeainst the Yankees a weck from tomorrow. That 3-to-0 defeat sustained vesterday when Tommy Thomas of the White Sox completely bafled the Chamions, left the latter with a trip record of three victories against six defeats and six games to go. The blanking also was the fourth of the season for the Nationals. The other shutouts were administered in order by Hollis Thurston of the Collinsmen and Art Tohns of the Tygers in Washington, and Ed Wells, Tyger south- paw. in Detroit : The on'v consolation gained by the Nationals from vesterday's en- counter was the work on the hill of Dutch Ructher, their lone portsider 1t was the first time Dutch had toiled on the slab since May 21, his lav-off heing due to an clhow ailment that the pitcher claimed reduced his ei- fectiveness.

The for- mer Baltimore pitcher issued but one pess and struck out six batters. In all but six balls were knocked bevond the infield by the Nationals. Onlv 29 batters faced Thomas and | only three of them zot on base. Ossie Blueze drew a pass after two were out in the second round. He tried to steal while Thomas held the ball and was run down. Morehart and Sheely combining with the pitcher to make the retirement. Real Bingle for Peck. Roger Peckinpaugh opened the third frame with a_line single to left and pilfered second while Muddy Ruel was at hat, but got mo farther. Johnny Tobin began the eizhth inning by beating out a bunt to Kamm. Tobin never advanced beyond first bhase. | That was all. | Here's what happened to the Na- tionals in thelr other batting turns Judze fanned at the siart. Harris lofted to Falk in left and Rice lifted | a low foul to Kamun. In the second inning. before Blueze walked Goslin | popped to Hunnefield at short and Tobin flied to Barrett in short right. Ruel fanned as Peck stole in the third. Ruether fouled to Kamm and Judge watched a third strike go by. Kamm tossed out Buckv Harr the outset of the fourth. Morel took zood care of the ne: ters. Thomas fielded Tobin’s bunt re- markably well and threw out the bat- ter at the beginning of the fifth stan- za. Kamm heaved out Bluege, but a good running catch by Mos needed to eliminate Peck. Sixth Is Brief for Champs. The sixth was a short round for the Champs. Ruel popped to Hunne- field, Ruether fanned vigorously and | Judge hoisted to Morehart back of | first base. Boss Bucky fanned at the outset of the venth. Morehart threw out Rice, while Barrett made a | eparkling catch to retire Goslin. After Tobin bunied his single in| the eighth Blueze and Peck popped to Hunnefield and o third strike was | called against Ruei. Ruether fouled | 10 Kamm at the start of the ninth. Judge lined to Falk and Harris rolled to Hunnefield. That was real pitching. much better pitching than Dutch Ruether did for the Nationals, althouzh Dutch pitched a brand of base ball that ordinarily would win. He allowed eight hits and granted four passes, vet not a pass actually figured in the scoring and the Sox were able to cluster hits in but one frame, the second, when they put over two tallies.

Barrett povped | 1o Peck and Kamm hoisted to Tobin but Crouse rolled a single 1o center to send Bib to the far corner. A | pass to Thomas filled the bases, then | Mostil's one-baser to the middle field scored Falk and Crouse. Morehart had combed Dutch for a single in the first frame and aftet this scoring round the Sox got only three one-base blows off the National hurler until the eighth. Thomas Kamm and Morehart got these sin gles. Tn the eighth frame Sheely got on first when his roller_trickled through Peck. It was the first error of the season for the veteran shortfielder. Falk triéd to sacrifice, but only suc- | ceeded in forcing out Sheely. Bar-| rett walked and Kamm flied to Rice. Crouse, though, lined a single to left. Goslin made a fine pick-up of the hit and an eaually fine throw to the | plate. but Ruel let the ball get by and Falk crossed the counting block. | Barrett took third and Crouse sec- ond, but Thomas hoisted to Rice.
