Chicagos for Saturdays defeat, the error
column being almost reversed.
Jones and Green took a particular liking
to Lees delivery, each getting three hits,
while the other White Sox had to be con-
tent with one.
1t Is to be hoped that Carey won't be
long out Of the game. He Is one of the
most popular boys on the team, and his
work for Washington this season has been

1t looked like stupid work on the part of
the champions to try and steal bases on
Clarke when they knew his throwing arm
was working in perfect order.
There were no bones broken in Carey's
arm as a result of his being hit by one OF
Galatians inshoots, but the forearm Is
badly bruised. Carey was out at the park
this morning but he will probably not play
until the Detroit game Thursday
