military drill but Foster fainted and had to retire after a few minutes of maneuvers It Is expected both veterans will be In Saturdays game Horace Milan took his brothers place in center field and Joe Leonard went t6 third This was military day here Before the game the Nationals and White Sox held their competitive drill for the American League prixe The big crowd which included more than 5000 soldiers and sailors cheered the drilling ball players Four bands helped to make the afternoon one of the liveliest on record in major league history Before the game Clark Griffith received a substantial check for his bat and ball fund for soldiers from a Chicago newspaper Another collection will be taken up here Saturday The White Sox were equipped with khaki uniforms and guns for the drill They raised the city championship flag before donning their playing uniforms The protest of the White Sox over a game lost to Cleveland early In the season when Umpire Nallin called a balk on Pitcher Danforth with the bases filled was disallowed by President Johnson today Joe Leonard was called out on a close decision at first in the opening inning by Silk OLoughlin It looked as if he had beaten out an infield roller to Cicotte The Nationals will have their first open date of the season in the West tomorrow The rest wont hurt the boys any 4 Ainsmith after hitting a long one to left that fell foul by a couple of Inches in the third struck out Jim Shaw took the count In this inning without taking his bat off his shoulder The enforced absence of Clyde Milan and Foster due to sickness hurt the chances of the Griffmen They were not as steady as they would have been with the veterans in the line up and this unsteadiness helped the pale hosed crew The White Sox gathered all their scores off Jim Shaw who worked the first four innings Doc Ayers finished the game A walk two singles a triple an error and a sacrifice fly made for four White Sox runs in the third A double another error and a dingle chalked up two more in the next Every time the martial spirit of the day threatened to inoculate the Nationals Cicotte was there with an antidote In Loose playing by helped the Sox take a third the Nationals big lead in the The White Sox turned in their share of errors but their miscues were not as costly as those of the Nationals Errors or no errors the Griffmen could hardly have won today Jim Shaw handed out six hits In the four innings he worked They were bunched over two frames Leonard made a gem of a jumping stop of Risbergs hard bounder in the sixth and threw him out Doc Ayers got another chance to do relief work when Griff yanked Shaw after four ragged innings Henry went in to catch him In the sixth The Nationals can hold their own with the White Sox in Washington but It is a different story here The Sox put on two double plays that cut off runs 8H A tmmmmmmmmmmmmmmwmmmmmnmimmmmmmte the shape of a brilliaritllne of pitching hm Score Taking it this
