WHITE SOX WIN 6 TO 2

! What would otherwise have been a fine exhibition was spoiled yesterday afternoon by wildness on the part of Ables and McNeal Baron pitchers, care less performance on the part of their support and the work of an inexpert | umpire.
 The White Sox won the game, the score being to ?.
 However. there were several brilliant spots in the miniature Sahara, and the large number of fans present do not le- gret that they attended Houtz' all-round good work and the cleverness of Steve Reagan pleased the fans, and the spec tators were delighted that Turner ap peared to such advantage.
 The Barons, as a whole, were up in the air throughout the battle. They lost | their heads at times as if they were members of the Cotton States circuit i They let themselves become victims to every little trick. and seemed to submit to the big leaguers as if it was neces- sary. They were exceptionally easy at the bat.
 In the very first inning things were
 
 ] skated through Downeys legs and two bunts following transformed themselves into safe hits Before the side was re- l tired Davis smashed a two-sacker to left and three runs counted, these being fol- l lowed by one other a second later. In the fourth McNeaI started his days work by walking three men in success sion A two-bagger by Jones to right chased two runners home, making the to- tai score 6.
 In the sixth the Barons became toys in the hands of the Sox. Houtz was passed. Molesworth doubled to center and Meek walked. Altrock, pitching to Steve Req gan got in the hole-three balls and two strikes. The runners knew that the next must tell the tale and prepared to run. Altrock knew, naturally, that they would run. Instead, therefore, of throwing the ball to the plate he threw it to first. Meek was not mapping. however, and recovered the bag Not so with Houtz and Moles- worth! Houtz got fin a chase between third and home and Molesworth ran over him. s'...'-s
 Then Reagan and Demont struck out in succession.
 In the eighth inning the Barons played
  clout to left, and when it was fielded slowly he stretched 1t into double. Molesworth went out from Tannehill to Donohue and Houtz took third. He scored on Meeks fiy-out to right Then Reagan was walked. Demont fol- lowed with a luscious bingle and Steve ran all around the diamond without talk ing breath. He tanled. The game ended with the Barons on the light end of a 6 to score. Frank Smith, who pitched the first i've innings for the visitors, was very ef- fective. He yielded but one hit. that fall ing to Houtz when up in the first round. Nick Altrock, who followed, was wild and in addition was found for four safe swats
 Ables showed good form but lack or control McNeal was exceedingly Wild but received few wallops. Turner was effective, allowing no hit during his three ] innings of labor.
 Turner, in fact, has shown up better this season than any other pitcher on | the local staff.
 1 Raub. the new Baron catcher, had a whole lot of work to do, and he did IL well. In addition to being inc fellow Raub is a clever catcher. He pleases.
