the same situation Burns sent as pretty
strike over the plate as could be wished
for 1t was called ball. and Warner
on top of Altrock's plain gift. 1t set Jack
wild. and as result he was banished to
the clubhouse. Mr.. Jones then sent a
clean single into left, and Altrock scored
easily. Here were practically two runs
handed to the Sox.

though he was going to keep up his hit

from President Johnson in Philadelphia.
and when seen this morning would not

third. and l expect the Athletics to crowd
the White Sox into the second division"
