Hamilton, bankers, of Chicago. under the
provision of what is known as the Carey
act, passed by Congress in 1894. This act
provides, in short, that the Secretary OF

White Sox yesterday, but they did add the hrst 10
their meagre list of victories by score Oh 10
and made the Chicagoans fight hard to win the
second game by a of to ! There was
plenty of good pitching both sides. and 1t was
no fault of Hogg's that he did not win his game
Errors by fkeeler and Conroy had whole lot TO 90

Lake and Hogg cheered fair sized crowd sooo

The old ninth inning finish OF the Yankees was
there in both games too. In the first game the
winning run was scored by Kleinow's single, with
two out and in the second game Hemphill doubled
in the NINTH with two out and scored on Laportes
single. Keeler couldn't keep it up however
The first game clean pitchers battle. and
Lake had Just a shade tho better of Smith He was
In trouble more than but either his own good
work or the brilliant fielding OF the Yankees saved
him every time.
In the ninth inning HemphiI hit safely after
Chase had famed He made second when "anne-
hill threw wild to catch him on Laportes grounder.
Keeler went out at first and pass to Ball filled
the bases. Then Klenow smashed out single
and the game won.
Keeler made an awful muff in the first inning OF
the second game Hahn had walked. and the next
two men went out. Then Anderson lifted a msh
fly, and Keeler let it get completely away from
him that Hahn scored That accounted for ono
Chicago rum and the other was scored IN the hi,n
inning Isbell had famed when Dougherty ountea
