Joe Jaci Jackson's Slugg Nationals of Nationals Skid Into Anc White Sox-Boehling by the Wind By WILLIAM PEET. Chicago. June 11.-"Those skidding Senators." the Windy City scribes have dubbed the Nationals. Skidding is right, for the Griffmen skidded into another defeat here this aft, ernoor. The count was S to 0 in favor of the White Sox. indicating that the Rowland crowd did a good job while they were at it. Washington's fielding was clean-cut to day. but the weak tissue paper attack wouldn't have landed a victory in a trol ley league. Off Scott and Russell but four scattered hits were gathered The Sox drove Boehling out of the box in the sixth and bumped Ayres, the re lief hurler, hard luring the remaining chapters. Joe Jack<"n did the slugging for the victors with three ringln. doubles out of four times up. None of our outfield ers seemed to know where to play for Jackson. as he slammed the ball twice to Milan's left and when Clyde switched over he shot it out of Zeb's reach in right field Scott Shows Form. Scott nas unusually wilr, but the Na tiona!s coy: I < to very littl.- against him. Early in tihe. game two of Griff'i young n-en r.ached first throu:h the base knock rete. but when the hit-and-run sign w-,nt amiss both were snuffed out a reco- '.y Schalk's u:nerring pegs. Washington' s at -hanc to score came in the secomd inning. Jamieson drew a bame on l Ii anid p :ller, up on second when Shank.: "ri:n'd. Henry also Imlked bu MceBride and Boehling, the following batters could offer no help.

A triple by Ness in the Sox fourth, followed by Jackson's double, produced a run. Weaver singled to open Chicago's sixth and Eddie Collins sacrificed. Ness scratched a single to McBride, putting Weaver on third. Jackson unbuckled another double, scoring Weaver. At this stage Boehling was sent to the clubhouse and Doc Ayers put to work. Felech and Schalk greeted Ayres with singles, and two more hostile runs splashed over the plate. Three well bunched singles in the seventh gave the homefolks another marker which was not needed. Howard Shanks played a great game in the field. McBride's shortstopping was also par excellence, in fact the whole Washington team fielded in bank-up style, but with the bat they were nix., and until a little swat music is heard the string of defeats will grow plumper as the days go by.

"Nick" Altrock and "Sam" Sawyer tad better hustle home, at least to be ,resent at the annual Masonic baseball tame at American League Park Satur iay afternoon. This warning is issued to the Nationals' unmakers coincident with the announce nent that Roe Fulkerson is going to 'spring something new" at the game to te played for the benefit of the Masonic Ind Eastern Star Home. While only a few of Fulkerson's in imate associates are in on the secret, Ind none of them will divulge the nature >f the "surprise," they will go far enough o say that "it will be a scream." -'ulkerson. who is past master of the hrione and of a lot of other things, has I tutation to sustain as a purveyor if s iginal ideas of humor, and if he nicnes the mark this time, he will be etting a precedent for falling down on he job. With the Grotto and Shrine bands lefiantly playing, the fez and flags bristling, and the tumult of rooting, ulkerson wi!l have to show something kav above the ordinary to attra't much ittentlon. However, on past perfor nances, he stands to make good, and te will go to the post the odds-on avorite of cohorts. OVELESKIE IN FORM; YANKEES ARE BEATEN iDetroit.

The pitchers in question have been given plenty of opportunity to show why they should be retained and they have failed to deliver the goods For the present the nan. of these twirlers will nut be disclosed for Grif ith t- not quite coninced in his own mind that such a step contemplated wi l ,e necessary, but one thing is certain. the Old Fox will not clog up his machine with a lot of deadwood in the flinging department. The real test for a pit her Is when the club Is in a slump as are the Nationals right now. Not only have these two litchers been found wanting while on the road, but they could not deliver when the cluh was going at top speed on the home grounds.
