The upward fash OF Comiskys White Sox III the
American League has brought the expected ex-
pert discussion to whether not this early uplft
only fash forecast Of continued form.
From this lampng post 1t appears that no one team
in baseball has been bostered much the Sox-not
even the Red Sox-who rank next from this angle
Comisky has added of the most alert leaders in
the game. His name is j. j. Callahan, aggressive, re-
sourceful, magnetic, and brainy.
He has added two star young infelders in Rath, at
second and Weaver at short; an outfeder of promise
in Mattick; coming first baseman in Roa Zeider.
Death Valley Jim Scott and Lange are two slabmen
who have been threatening to become stars for several
years. Both have started 1912 with their only missing
ingredient from the pas-steadiness and consistency

New York.-The recent appoint
ment of William ]. Flynn to succeed
John z. wilkie as chief Of the U. S.
secret service was not popular-with
the criminals. In fact, the criminal
elements are quite a unit in the be-
lief that Mr.. Flynn is decidedly out of
place.
They have ample grounds for such
a belief, for Mr.. Flynn has made life
unpleasant for them ever since he en-
tered the secret service in the Pitts
burg district away back in 1897.
Shortly after he entered the service
Mr.. Flynn was appointed chief of the

.FATES AGAINST YANKEES
Lose Again to Red Sox, Who
Make Only Three Hits.
FOURTEEN IN A ROW NOW
This Is, Fourteen Defeats by
Boston, Without One Victory
Since Season Began.
rBy Telegraph to The Tribune.l


BOSTON. July The fates ar against the
Yankees, and this is said even herr, in the
heart of Boston. where the Red SoX are
attracting almost as much attention as the
merry little controversy in Blltim0"e over
the nomination Of Democratic candidate
for President The Yankees lost another
game to-day, which IS not 50 surprising In
itself inasmuCh as they presented a
patched up team and were plS ying against
the Red Sox. who are leading the league.
The manner of their defeat was surprising,
however, and showed how the fates are
against them. The lanky Mcconnell al
lowed the homo team only three hits, and
vet the Red Soy won by a score OF to 1.
Hall was in the box for the home team
and pitched almost as good 4 game and
great deal more successful one than his
opponent. lie allowed six hits, but while
three OF them were for two bases each, the

around the midway stat!or
For three innings it was a case OF no
runs. no hits and no errors for both teams,
and. with the exception Of two or three
bases on balls. the players were retired in
order. The Yankees broke the ice in their
half of the fourth inning. when, with Ster-
rett out on strikes. linn doubled 10 centre,
took third on Chase's single. and scored
as Chase was forced at second by stump
on a grounder to Wagner. The lead was
only momentary, however, as the Red SOX
tied the score in their half Of the same
inning.
Hooper singled as a starter. went 10 sec
ond on Stumps bad throw over Sterretts
head, and scored after Yerkes had popped
up fly TO Mcconnell, when Speaker shot
a screaming double 20 centre. Neither
team made any advance in the nth inning,
but the sixth brought defeat for the Yam
KEGS. A two-bagger by Chase was wasted
IN New Yorks half, and then came the
finish. Hooper flied out to Zinn. but Yerkes
took two bases on Stump's wild throw TO
first. and Speaker walked. Lewis then shot
a two-bagser TO left. sending TWO runners
over the plate. He took third on the throw
in and scored himself moment later on
Gardeners out.
The Yankees kept on trying. but TO no
avail. With SAFE lead CT three runs Hall
practically was invincble. and so the game

make it six straight on the series and
clean sweep 10 date Of fifteen straight on
