lE'S BIG BAT BEATS SENATORS Ping Leads Two Run Attack in Second; Drives Home Pair in Eighth. Ping Bodie did plenty to make the home folks forget his slip of the day before by officiating prominently yesterday in the defeat of Washington by a score of 5 to 2 in the Senators' pen ultimate game of the year on Comiskey park. Two of Bodle's three swats were dominant factors in the scoring of four of Chicago's tallies. One of them led the second inning rally which resulted In a pair of runs. Another drove home the clinching brace of counters in the eighth. Joe Berger manufactured the first tally with a clean cut home run drive to the center field fence in the opening inning. "Tex" Russell, with the aid of some brilliant support, baffled the efforts of the Griffiths to overcome the lead of three which the Sox established in two attacks on Bob Groom. Russell was not in his usual form, by many degrees. His chief stock In trade was that internal commodity politely re ferred to as nerve. He stuck the ball over whether there was anything on it or not. The Senators hit him harder than he has been tagged for some time, but he was there In the pinches, and his pals came to his rescue with a couple of swelll double plays which derailed as many threatening attacks.
