by a Score of Eleven
TO Three

The White Sox won from the Inter
nationals in the City baseball league
game at Washington park SATURDAY
afternoon with the score Il to 3. This
is the fourth straight victory for the
White Sox, who have raised themselves
from the foot of the league within
striking distance Of first place in the
last two weeks.
Ross, of the White Sox. was the in
diridual star of Saturdays game. The
White Sox big first baseman hit for
the first home run Of the season
scoring two men who were on the
bags at the time. The hit was the
longest ever made at Washington park
Besides, Ross had a triple and double
TO his credit. hitting in all for nine
bases out Of three. times up.
The InternationaIs- started the soo--
ing in the first inning. and un nnti,
the fourth inning it was tight game
Joe Bryan was doing good work in the
box for the Internationals up to the
FOURTH, when the White Sox started a
batting fest and drove Joe to the cor
tonwoods. Mesa succeeded him on the
mound, but was unable to stop the fer
rifle onslaught of the white stock
ings
Thompson, the White Sox left field
ef, oIIlclated at the twirling end and
put up a wonderful game Until the
eighth inning he had the Interna-
tionals well in hand, only allowing
one nit during this time and striking
out II men. In all only six hits WERE
made off his. delivery.
Kiefer played his first game with
the White Sox and held down the LEFT
garden Sullivan, a pitcher, was on
duty in center
During the game there were four
double plays pulled off, each side be-
ing credited with two. One of the
White S"x's double plays was made
from center field.

The White Sox ran away from the
Fort Bliss team in the second game
OF the doubleheader, the score being
to l. The soldiers had an off day
and couldn't meet the ball. while the
White Sox boys have never been in bet
ter form. swatting the hOrsehidle and
pulling down the high ones in the
field like big leaguers.
It looked as if the soldiers were 60
ing to start something in the first inn-
ing, when they made a run and sew
eral Of their men got on bases, but
pitcher Fisher held them safe. and
that was the last time they got a
chance to cross the pan.
The White Sox scored In nearIy
every inning. and knocked out u hits
during the time of play. Ross was
the brilliant individual in the hitting
line. getting out of four times I'D
triple and two singles 1t begins to
look as If the White Sox captain was
going to lead the league in smuggling.
The outfield Of the White Sox PLAYED
circus ball during the game, and the
greatest stunt of the year was Simp-
sons bare-handed catch of Hurst's
long fly. The ball was going high
and swift for three bases. when Simp-
son jumped high in the air and copped
the sphere in his bare nit Thomp-
son and Jacoby also got in the calcium
couple of times by brilliant work.
The regimentaI boys started a new
one by bringing on the field a mascot
in the shape of a tan burro clothed in
white stockings. The animal, however.
proved to be a hoodoo.

Bates Simpson, formerly owner of
the Waco team, is umpiring in the Tex

a big kick on the way he handles the
Indicator.
Less than week ago Appleton tried
to get his release from Fort Worth,
not believing he was doing enough
work Morris refused 20 let him go.
The showing he made in defeating the
Dallas team goes to show that he has
good material in his makeup.
Pitcher Barney of the g. s. S. Taco

Galveston. If he shows up well his
release will be purchased from the
navy and he will become a professional
ball player.
The fans generally agree that Kap-

stage fright just at present but is do
