H0A0FF HAD THE
P|CKETTs' NUMBER

Trimming the Picketts on
Sunday :..:.
In q game featured by fast work Tin
spots). major league pitching by Ho-
hof, stellar work on the initial sack
by Schumacher for Picketts and
punched hits In the eighth and ninth
innings, the White Sox took a wal
lop out of the Picketts on Sunday aft
ernoon to the tune Of s to 2.
The Plcketts had Torgeson's goat
led to the pasture and staked out, with
the first two balls pitched. With the
drst n over, he hit Praether and
then the aviation meet commenced.
In the three innings in which he
adorned the mound, he hit three men,
walked four and was batted all over
the lot. The team behind him play
ed great ball and saved several bales
OF runs by fast playing. With three
on in the first frame. q double play
retired the Picketts. Again in the
second inning the bases were Joyous
ly drunk and It looked like q merry
go round. when Ed McIlraith hit into
q double play and retired the side.
The third inning was going the same
way when "Torge" vas taken out and
Hohoff started in. With Hohoff in the
box he proceeded to make the ball cut
capers that the Picketts could not fig
Nre out and eleven men who faced
him created a bigger breeze than the
propeller on Tom McGoey's aero
plane which may be remarked ID
some breeze.
Chandler pitched good ball for the
Picketts, allowing only four hits up
to the eighth when he weakened and
the Sox slaughtered the ball and his
delivery for seven bingles and four
scores. The base running all through
tn game was as wild as the proven
bial man from Borneo. Tim Nell
raith used his wing to good effect
three different times and caught Sox
mapping OF Of second. One that he
pulled OF was a pippin. with Tierney
. on third in the ninth, Holmes tried
to get down to second and did not
think that McIlraith would dare to
try to catch him at the secondary sta
ton; he made a bum think as Tim let
him stroll on his way down the cir
cult and waited until he was nearly
to the sack, then he pegged the pellet
to Praether. putting the ball right
IN the latter's NIT, who at once nail
ed the would-be purloiner of the sack.
How They Scored
The Picketts landed their first tall
ly in the second frame. Schumacher,
who covered himself with glory by
stopping several wide ones, and ac-
copied ten chances at the first sta
ton without a .bungle. drew his sack
when he took the sphere in the Shout
der. He stole second and third and
waited there until Hugh McIlraith
went to first on Torgeson's error, I'M
til Shannon struck out and Molstead
and Praether were handed transporta-
ton to first and he was forced in.
Chandler scored the second and last
Pickett run in the third inning. He
went to first by the four ball route.
stole second, advanced to third or
Cullen's sacrifice and romped home on
Schumacher's single.
The White Sox came back in their
half Of the third when Holmes. who
clouted for two bases and advanced
to third by Dryden's sacrifice, hiked
for home on Sandlie's single. In the
eighth inning Dryden led of with a
double and stood around on the sack
for some time after Politski had start
ed the pellet winging fenceward. He
finally woke up and gave an imita-
ton of an A. D. T. kid with a death
message while he battered for the
plate. Politski nearly collided with
him, but stopped at third, hiking for
home when Bacon booted Sigloh's
easy grounder.
In the ninth inning Tiernay bingled
and went to third on a short single
by Holmes. Tiernay scored on forge
sons single after Holmes had been
relegated to the list Of the also-rans
and Torgeson lost ten pounds when
he was chased around the circuit on
Dryden's half way swat. Four wide
~ scattered hits were all that the
Picketts could connect. with off of Ho-
hoff's delivery in the last six inn
ings of the game.
The score:
