There was JOY in the hearts OF the Chi
tago fans yesterday afternoon when the
White Sox took the fourth consecutive
game from the Senators by the score of 10
to |. and as a result landed at the head
of the American League. At the same time
the Cleveland team was drubbing the Bos-
ton champions to the tune of IL to 1.
The White Sox played ball yesterday
from the start to the finish. while the SEN
ators played somewhat listlessly. being I'M
able to get their eye on the little sphere
when hits were needed. Smith, for the
White Sox. did effective work In the box
allowing but six hits. Only once did the
Senators get two safeties together In the
last inning. when Stahl was chased across
the plate with the local teams solitary
run of the game.
Patten had been saved for the last game
In the hope that the White Stockings
winning streak would be checked In the
final contest of the series But the Chi
cago players had their eye on the top round
of the ladder and were not to be stopped
Patten gave several bases on balls and
allowed the White Sox fourteen hits.

For several innings on the Mt. Pleasant
grounds yesterday 1t looked as though
the ball players that hail from the st.
Stephens Church were going to add an
other tie game to their record, but the
spectators had another look coming.
when, after two hands were out for the
Foundrys in the ninth. three men sue
ceeded In getting to the bases in safety.
Then Dutch" Kinney swatted a beautiful
hit out and scored the winning run.
At one time during the game the
Saints had twice as many hits to their
credit as the Methodist lads. Burroughs
started to do the twirling for the losers,
and until the fifth inning put up the real
article in ball twirling. He then let
down to such extent that 1t was
