WHITES HURLING
BALKS SENATORS

Doc White gave the pennant aspira-
lions of the Senators a severe bump
at Comiskey park yesterday when he
neatly and precisely trimmed them by
a score of to 1. Doc had some luck
and lot of other things to turn the
trick. but he deserves the major por-
ton of the glory, for his excellent and
artistic hurting never permitted Grit
fith's athletes to become boisterous.
The day before they had clouted out
sixteen hits for total of twenty Ave
bases. Yesterday they gathered four
hits for total of four bases, so 1t
seems that the pitching played an i'm
portant part in stopping the daring
and sturdy fellows from the capital
The Sox themselves were hitting
after a scanty fashion, making only
four safe swats, and the luck that
helped Doc to put over such a pretty
victory came with zone of the base hits
of the Sox, for in the first inning
when they had a man on second and
one on third, Collins slashed one
right at George Mcbride, and the ball

his shoulder. letting both runners

buffer by famous pugilfsts who have
trained in and around San Francisco
and he has improved his fistic eduoa-
