 The Black Sox played fast ball, only one error being made in the nine innings and that being excusabie. The star work of the game. however. yesterday proba- ply belongs to Clark, his backstop work being just about as good as anything of the kind ever seen here.
 In the third inning with one of the Tigers starting down from first to second and one on third Clark threw to Kanzler to cut the runner off at second. The runner on third started home and like a flash Kanzler returned the ball to Clark. cutting the run off at the plate.
