SOX SECOND SQUAD
FINALLY WINS
A GAME
ChicagO'S Pitchers Offer Mys-
feriOuS Curves, Which the
Seals Fail TO Solve

The Yannigans OF the Chicago tribe
finally put one over on the Seals yes
terday at Recreation park. and 20 do
the trick the Fasteners had 10 put on
double steam and the pitchers We're
forced to let out all their wraps. East
ley was on the firing line for the Seals
when Umpire McGreevey called the
game, and during his five innings on
the mound he was freely touched by
the visitors. They got two hits In each
of the first three frames which uetted
three runs. but after this there was
nothing doing in the run getting line.
However. the Sox did not find IL neces-
sary 70 get any more. as the job had
been well done in the early rounds
Lange. who twirled the hrst six in
nings. and handsome Nick AltrOck, who
finished the last three for the Sox. were
at their best They were working at
high speed and what they sent over
the plate was foreign TO Longs crew
They could not conceive the makeup OF
the deliveries of COmiskeys mound
artists, and though they made innHn-
cradle attempts TO diagnose the con
tents OF the Chicagoans' curves. the
microscopes used by the local special
lists were not strong enough 20 analyze
the twiSters. The Seals had no sotu-
tion for Sox pitchers benders. which
will go a long way in explaining why
the locals lost their firSt game TO SoX
crew No. ?
Little Browning. who pitched the
last four for the home team. was some
what of a mystery himself. Ills right
paw was we'll oiled and IL worked
freely. The tOsses that ne served the
opposition were not relished 10 any
great extent. as only two hits spread
over four frames were all that the SOX
took off his delivery.
Eastley was put in tight hole early
in the fray, and during the first frame
two hits We're secured on MS delivery,
but he pulled himself out with the as
sistance of good fielding on the part or
his teammates. and no runs resulted
during inning one.
for they went right after the seal
twirler in the next frame. Jack Dalton
(no relation TO the hero Of melodrama
fsme) started the trouble oy oirnng

advanced along TO third when Payne

which went sailing out To deep lefts
and Dalton came home before the
throw.
Two more talIies were added to Chi
cagos run column IN the third and
Two on QSdiJ0y DlnEleS- AFTER Two were
down BealI hit safely. and EaStley
generously allowed Bader TO take first
without earning his way there. Pur-
tell whacked one out 20 center field
which went over Lewis head and
Beall and Bader pulled up at the home
plate, while Purtell had no trouble In
getting as far as second. Eastley got
the next man, which put an end to
hOsttlities. He continued for two more
frames. in which he had no trouble in
getting the enemy.
The fans. who We're scarce. had in
their minds what had happened Friday
during the eight inning game. and
pictured that a repetition of the AFFAIR
would occur during the sixth frame
yesterday. 1t looked for a time as IL
the Seals would do the trick in this
inning, as they got Off with good
start. Browning, the first man up
laced out healthy double to left field
Mohler flew out. Mundorff grounded
out, and Fatty Williams was there
with his usual bingls. The stout bow
cracked one against the right field
fence Tor two baser. and Browning
came nome with the Seals first and
only tally. Tenant was called upOn
for homer, but he was an easv ont.
During the remaining rounds the
pltchers were the ma sters OF the sftua-
ttOn. AltrOck went In for the Soy and
he had the local batsmen laughin~
themselves sick at his facial cOntOr-
tlonS, so that they mfsused all their
strength, and when AItrOck tossed
anything at them they proved easv
victims. Score:
