WHITE SOX GET VERDICT
Outbatted and 0utfieIded by
Yankees, but Take Game.
SCORE THREE RUNS TO TWO
Chicagoans Thereby Win Series
and Push Chase's Men Fur
Their from Third Place.

The Chicago White Sox opened their last
stand for the season on the hilltop yester-
day afternoon with thrilling victory over
the Yankees. Although New York fought
hard and rallied strongly toward the end
OF the contest, the visitors had power
enough In reserve to make a one-run lead
last them to the anish the score being
to 2. 1t was Chcago's twelfth victory OF
the year over Hal Chases team and as
sured them Of the odd game In the season
series, even though they lose the remain
ing contests scheduled to be played AS the
Cleveland Maps handily defeated WASH
ineton, the Yankees dropped still further
behind I'm the race for third place.
Hughie Duffy sent his one best bet In
big Ed" Walsh against the home team
and for seven innings the great spitball
twlrler was invincible. Although he was
hit rather freely. he frightened up at the
right time and was careful to keep all the
safe drives well scattered. In the seventh
inning, however he seemed to have
strained his right leg in fielding dribole
20 the box, and when Che eighth inning
rolled around the Yankees found him Tor
four singles In succession. owing to lax
base running, these were good for only one
run, and Scott came to the relief OF the
faltering visitors. He performed his task
I'm a way that left nothing to be desired
and the Yankees failed to score again in
that frame, while they were retired In
order In the ninth.
Ray Caldwell was Chase's choice for the
mound, and he delivered a rather hlgh
brand OF pitching. Although the visitors
punched hits on him for three runs in the
sixth and seventh innings, for the rest Oh
the time he travelled along In sterling
fashion His curves We're combed for ten
safe hits, while four passes were obtained
by the visitors. With AL this, however
they had the time Of their lives in scraping
together enough runs TO win the game.
Considered as a whole. the contest was
considerable Of freak affair. Twenty-one
hits were made by the two teams put
these resulted in only five runs being
scored. The Yankees. with eleven hits and
no errors. outbatted and outielded the
White Sox, with ten hits and four errors,
knocking Ed Walsh out Of the box, and yet
losing the verdict. Weird base running
was largely responsible for the poor re-
suits obtained by Chases men. They
seemed to take long chances at the "rohe
time. and when a good opportunity pre-
scented itself to get an extra base they
failed TO take advantage Of It.
Hal Chase was spiked during the last
game with Cleveland on Friday afternoon
and while he was able TO do llttle work
on the coaching lines he shifted the cares
and responsibilities Of first base over OH
the shoulders Of Jack Knight. Jack played
a sterling game around the initial sack ana
delivered himself of two hits as well
Birdie Cree, however, was the smartest 1T
tie hitter. and he was largely responsible
I'm one way or another for the two runs
scored by the Yankees. Cree was good for
three singles, scoring one run himself and
driving in the other.
The Yankees got the Jump on the White
Sox by tallying the first run in the fourth
inning with two out, Cree singled to his
favorite spot in left field. stole second and
then crossed the plate on Hartzell's triple
10 right field. The Sox, however, forged
ahead to a one run lead by scoring brace
Of talles in the sixth inning. With one
out, Lord was hit and Mcintyre singled to
centre. putting Harry on third. Mcintyre
lost no time in going down to second.
Bodie in trying to knock a hole through
the fence popped TO HartZcll, but Barrows
came through with timely single to left,
bringing Lord and Mcintyre home. AL
though Rarrows stole second and Tannehill
Walked. Collins struck out.
The SoX added another run to their total
in the seventh inning. Sullivan scratched
hit through Doau and HartZell as a
starter and Walsh popped to Knight in at
tempting TO sacrifice. Mcconnell singled TO
LETT. putting Sullivan on second. Lord
forced Mcconnell at second, Sullivan reach
ing third, so that he tailed with ease when
Mcintyre singled to centre. Cree made a
brilliant catch OF Bodies foul.
The Yankees scored their second run in
the eighth inning. Wolter singled to right
and took second when Mcintyre fumbled
the ball. Harry came home on Cree's
single to left Birdie went to second on
Knights single through short, but was
caught mapping by Sullivan and thrown out
Hartzell $ single therefore. did nothing
more than put Knight on second and Jack
advanced 10 third when Walsh threw wild
to catch him off the bag. Hartzell imme-
diatey stole second unmolested and this
finished Walsh. Scott entered the fray
forcing Gardner to pop to Lord and striking
out Blair with much ecat.
The score follows
