What made Charlie Comiskey name
the team now occupying the guest
chamber At the Acres his second one
still remains to be discovered by the
Angels after being trimmed yesterday
by the Yannigans by the deceptive
score of s to 8.
This synopsis was deceptive in that
should the tallying have been judged
by stick work and general superiority
the visitors would have been allowed
about twice as many marks on the
blackboard as they got.
Another important aid Hen Berry
gave himself for getting the short end
of the result was a venture into his
probation department, where he dug
out Coleman for the beginning few
sessions of slab work. The pride of
Podunk took up his duties with almost
a show of ability, but before he had
directed the first three across the hand
full of fans commenced to see mental
pictures of Koestner.
But the debutante twirler was not
alone in his misery. Almost the entire
personnel of Dillon's happy family took
turn off the straight and narrow path
during the comedy, and even Happy
Hogan let a pitched ball evade his
buckskin. The remainder of the sad
narration-so far as the Angels are
concerned-can be left to the imagina-
ton, with the tip that the Dillonites
took an awful slump off the form chart
to help the muse along.
But the eastern side of the argument
is entirely different. In the first place,
the second team conformed more to the
fans idea of White Sox from the time
they slouched into the sun in smoky
white suits. dull with wear, but like
wise stained by the CRIME of many VIC
tories. This ideal was further sub
stantiated when the veterans dropped
into their places like pieces of ma
chinery and commenced to slug away
at Coleman as peacefully as basket
of chips. Judge Smith started his mates
into the woods as soon as he got a
chance by lobbing to the clover patches
in an effort to catch O'Neil at second,
after Osteen had bunted an easy one
down the third corner line.
A few judicious singles and a couple
of near errors netted a lovely start of
three for the SoX. Davis contributed
his mite with a safe slam to the sun
garden. which gave O'Neil his cue to
hunt the bench. and Osteen and Davis
bettered their condition by a base
apiece with embezzlements at the prop
er time. Osteen finished his last lap
almost gratis on wild pitch by Cole
man, which Hogan watched bounce to
the screen. Davis battered across the
dlLef AIlueTSCII ndQ TellTcQ Via
the elevated to Ellis.
Fiene safely held down the ambi-
tions of Bernard. Oakes and Wheeler.
allowing them but paltry tastes of the
infield territory.
Coleman continued as easy to solve as
a high school boy until his place was
taken by Dolly Gray at the beginning
OF the fifth. The gong changed repeat
edly after each turn of the visitors
with the sticks. One clamor was raised
in the second. two in the third and one
in the fourth and fifth respectively.
The Angels strove desperately to find
something better than nothing in Fiene
for the first two sessions with no sue
cess, but Bernard registered with a
four -sacker in the fourth. The little
centerfielder picked out the open gate
in the right garden fence for his op-
portunity and before Hart could find
the horsehide in the grass under the
bieachers Bernard made the round trip.
Dolly Gray took up the shattered
standard for Hen in the fifth and con-
sequently the Sox met the nothing
doing sign in every direction.
Manuel and Shaw relieved Fiene and
Armbruster in the last of the sixth
This combination proved just as tight
as the former. except in the seventh,
when the Dillonites were able to add
two more blocks to the array on the
score board. Wheeler singled over sec
ond. Smith famed. Ellis found a safe
place in right and advanced peg far
ther on Hart's tumble. Wheeler trotted
to third. Delmas stopped one with his
hustle and Easterly lined into center
to let Wheeler and Ellis home. =
