Just had an on DAY in hsIdIns-that.s
all.
Those sox are going to be the big
noise in the East this trip. perhaps
Tough luck that the Nationals had to
drop into fourth place. but they'll be
right back third to-day with a few Of
the breaks in luck coming their way.
Things looked rocky for the sox in the
fifth, but bad baserunning by Grffrs
Hopefuls pulled Benz out Of 4 hole. The
game should have been sewed up in that
stanza.
Did you notice that new wire screen
on top Of the right-neld fence? No more
Of that home-run-over-the1rig
fence stun for Messrs. Callahan, Lord,
& Co., II Grin can stop it.
zeider pulled beautiful one-hand stab
on Blocks throw on Fosters roller in
| the first. He stretched out his gloved
hand and snatched the pill OF Fosters
back. o.. .--..
4 When Milan cut loose with a double
in the first, Callahan. Lord. zIeder ct
al decided to take no chances with Ger
many Schaefer. so Bitten Benz gave the
Dutchman pass to get at Ray Morgan.
The Old Fox was out on the coaching
lines pulling hard for Morgan. and the
Baltimore boy went after everything
| that came his way. He jumped about
fve feet for Rollie Zeider's liner in the
second, but could only get one hand on
1t. He did the same thing on Ping
| Bodies hit in the seventh, but couldn't
reach ii. He also poIed a safe one,
| grounder to deep short that he beat
out In the fourth.
Benz, when he couldn't control his
| splitter, was just as liable to throw II
over the grand stand as over the plate
He cut loose with a wild heave in the
fourth that hit the wire screen, but
nobody was on base at the time.
The third inning was a hard stanza
on bats. Block smashed his swatstick
sending a pop fly to Morgan. in Chi
! cago's half and Danny Moeller also
broke a perfectly good wagon-tongue.
Jack knight made a beautiful stop
( Of Benz's hard grounder between first
and second in the third, making a per-
feet throw to Dixie Walker. who was
covering the bag. but the Alabama pip
pin tripped over the sack, dropping the
| pill.
The first two times up Rath sent pop
flies to Capt. Mcbride.
Block tried to run Dixie Walker to
death in the second. He dropped the
| third strike and let Walker run almost
/
with heave to Zeider, snufang out the
Alabama boy.
That Chicago team is the greatest
aggregation Of kickers that has put in
an appearance at the concrete coliseum
for many moons. Lord and Callahan
are the worst Of the bunch, with Rollie
Zeider running them a good second in
the crab league.
Lord kicked on every decision the
third strike the first time up, and on,
decision at first the second, when
Walker and knight had him by mar
row margin.
Pinch" Mcbride lived up to his name |
in the sixth, when he poled a triple |
over CalIahan's head.
Dutch Schaefer made two beautiful |
throws from right field to the plate, J
catching a runner each time, but he |
muffed one fly and misjudged another.
Jerry Akers went into the box in the
eighth without warming up properly, |
and as result he was ismbssted some |
what. But in the ninth he had the Sox |
on his stan, tanning two and making |
the third put up an easy pop fly.
Aksrs had hard luck. too, as the last
two runs should not have been scored |
against him. a horrible heave by Marse |
John Henry being responsible. Henry /
made a fake heave to catch Zeider pill
fering second. and then, trying to catch |
Bodie on third, fired the ball TO the left /
field stands. both men scoring.
Jack knight put up a stellar game /
swats, one a triple. The big boy is
rounding into shape rapidly.
Grin sent in a galaxy of emergency /
batters. Shanks making his first appear
ance in a major league game in the sew
enth, batting for Walker, and striking
out. and Ainsmith being called out on
three strikes in the ninth. batting for
Akers.
Jacques Fournier batted for Beng in
the seventh. and sent a grOunder to
Walker.
Mogridge struck out the side in his i
first inning in the box, Shanks, MoeIler
and Foster walking up and turning
around and walking right back again
Williams pulled a death-defying dive in
the seventh, grabbing Henry around the
middle and preventing the big fellow
from crashing into the players bench
while going after a high foul.
John Henry and Jerry Akers held q
conference in the eighth and Jimmy Cal
lahan tried to break it up by walking
out to the box and listening over Hen u
rvs shoulder. II
