with the White Sox acknowledged the ball
struck inside the line.
Either the incline back Of first base or
Donohue running for the ball obstructed
Silks view. OF course, our bad luck
bobbed up again in getting the decision
against us.
O'Loughln is undoubtedly honest and
one of the best umpires in the business,
but he is human and bound to make mis-
takes. 1t was our i'll fortune that one of
| his mistakes should materialize against
us at most important point.
Another piece of bad luck was the with
/ drawal of Anderson from the game and
the substitution of Hahn. Anderson has
been playing steadily all season In max
ing the double in the sixth inning and
then running to first he strained himself
and withdrew. Hahn running from second.
| On Hahn's first turn at the bat in the
ninth he soaked the ball to the right field
fence and scored the run that tied the
score. Anderson is good hitter. but it
is dollars to pennies he couldn't have
done this we'll.
Then in the thirteenth inning. it was
Hahn's roller to Mcbride that caused all
the trouble. There Is no question but that

| Ciymer pulled off a funny stunt in the
eighth inning Of the first game, and
everybody had to laugh. Sullivan hit a
fly into right that Clymer started to
back on. Although he apparently had
plenty Of time to make the catch with
both hands, he stuck up his left hand
and pulled down the ball as If it had
| been a practice bingo.
Clymer was seen after the game and
said:
You people up there in the press box
must have thought I had gone daffy
when 1 made that one-handed catch
The truth of the matter is that the ball
got into the sun about twenty feet
from me and I lost it entirely. I Was
almost blinded when it shot into view
again. I only had time to stick UP my
gloved hand and pull 1t down.
| Il was certainly glad to make the
play. So few people understand how
strong the sun is that early in the day
1t would have made me look foolish to
have lost the ball.
| Clyde Milan didn't do much with the
| stick yesterday as he was facing two ex-
bot hit in each game and flelded spIen-
didly on his few chances. 1t was some
thing of coincidence that he should pull
the bail over toward first at the start of
| each game and by great sprinting beat
| it to the sack. Both decisions were close
but Silk had them right each time.

managed to get up to the ball just as IT

tending his arms to the limit he pulled
it in. to the glad acclaim of the multitude.
| Hal the ball got by Clyde it would have
gone for triple at least.
| Capt. Bob Ganley is always wide awake
and never fails; to make a claim when he
| thinks he can. pull it off. In the seventh
| inning of the first game Davis hit into
short left and Bob came tearing in and
caught the ball close or off the ground:
| It looked like a pickup from the
press box Bob claimed he caught it and
came rushing in at O'Loughlin when 1t
was given as hit.
| In the twelfth inning of the second
game Ganley pulled down budding
| triple from TannehilIs bat capturing the
| ball after a jump. But for being over
| balanced he would have thrown out Dono-
| hue who had heached third, thinking the
| hit was safe.
1t is to be regretted that Bob left his
batting eye at his hotel, not getting
| hit in either game.
Plays of the sort pulled off by Nc

] easily be forgiven. as they come to the

Fielder Jones can run some he had to

1t could be seen he had not grasped

Those fans who have tainted Ander-

thing on the big fellow yesterday. He

In the first game Burns struck John
out twice. The tanning was accompanied

| ninth, to cap the climax, Burns caught
| Andy of first by quick throw to Free
man. And the bleacherites threw several
