CHICAGO. Ill. August 19.-Patten. who
has for years held strange and unholy
buffalo over the White Sox. was In great
form yesterday and made the worlds cham
pons closely resemble little monkeys. They
could not hit him effectively and were una
be to get concerted action at any time dur
ing the afternoon His support outside of
the ninth was superb and fairly sparkled
with brilliant stops and catches. Deehanty
was in splendid form and seems to be
real marvel as a secoId baseman. Altrock
was hit hard and owen pitched the eighth

In the next inning two of Cantillon's men

and was lucky. Smith singled two runs.
Patten forced Smith. and Clymer hit into
right. Patten ran so slowly that Hahn got
him at second, thus robbing Clymer of
credit for good c!ean hit. Great stops by
Smith and Delehanty were features of this
same round.
In the fifth Patten tried one of these
ruick return pitches. Block wasn't look
