In one Of the greatest games of base
ball ever seen on local diamond the
Worlds Champion White Sox, Of Chi
cago defeated the Kenosha team at
Breen Park on Friday afternoon by
score of to /. 1t was case of de-
feat and not of rout. The Kenosha
people had expected to see the Sox.
toy with the locals but when the two
+ teams faced each other on the dia-
| mond it was hard fight all the way
through.
To Hanks, one of the old Kenosha
PLAYERS, goes ae honor oi saeking the
only run for Kenosha against the
worlds champions, but Hanks was
not alone entitled to glory for the
two base hit which Jack Klopf sent
out into the right garden made it
possible for,Hanks to skidd across the
home plate.
The game was an ideal one from
every standpoint. It was ideal
| weather and afcrowd which taxed the
| capacity OF the grand stand, b1eachers
and open field turned out to witness
the contest. Three of the worlds
greatest baseball pitchers were in the
box during the afternoon and with the
exception of an inning for each team
the two teams gave an exhibition of
brilliant, thrilling fielding which kept
the enthusiastic fans shouting most
of the afternoon.
For four innings the game was as
good a contest as any of the worlds
championship games and Donahue,
the captain of the Sox, called on his
men 10 let out their best work. In
the next inning the Chicago team
broke I he monotony of the goose eggs
BY scoring three runs.
Let it be said for the glory of Keno
sha that the Sox were materially
aidesi ~ securing these runs b, a bad
decision bv Umpire Bowen. but at the
same time a bad error by,Klopf contri-
buted to the run getting. In the sixth
inning Kenosha got her only run.
Hanks beat out little hit to first and
Block dew base on balls advancing
him to second and then K1opf cracked
off terrific hit to right field which
scored Hanks and set the crowd to
shouting.
The Sox added four runs in the
seventh when the heavy world
champion hitters fell on Killian for
four hard hits and with the assistance
of daring base running the Chicago
men got their runs.
The Kenosha team played brilliant
fielding game and the people who ex-
pected to see a dozen Of the locals
strike out were pleasantly surprised.
Owen struck out but two men during
the five innings he pitched, and Alt
rock got but one strike out in the four
innings closing the game. Killian
had but two strike outs to his credit.
Pulse, Laabs, and Feiting were the
stars of the Kenosha team during the
game. Pulse played out in the center
field aud brought down four put outs
everyone Of them being desperate
chances. Laabs electrified the crowd
once during the afternoon when he
made grand stop of a hot one from
Donahue's bat and Sam Feiting on
third stopped everything that came
within his territory.
During the early innings of the
game Klopf was struck on the head
by a pitched ball and knocked uncon-
scious, but he insisted on continuing
the game. In the next inning he was.l
still suffering from the effects Of the.i
injury when he made the error which
was, ia a way, responsible for the
three runs scored by the Sox ia the
fifth inning.
In all the game was all that the
fans could have desired. It was a |
game struggle from start to finish, I
and the Kenosha team covered itself /
with glory. Manager Donahue de-
clared that with any sort of baseball |
luck the Kenosha team with Kil1ian
in the box would give the Sox as hard |
a fight as they ever had from the
Cubs
