YANKEES TRIM CHICAGO
Ninth Inning Rally by White
Sox Makes Margin Narrow.
BRILLIANT GAME BY CHASE
First Baseman Helps Ford to
Win Game Marked by
Hard Hitting.

Russell Ford effectively put an end TO
any designs that the Chicago White Sox
may have had OF bidding farewell to New
York for the season of 1872 with iinal
victory over the Yankees by pitching
fairly good game at American League
Park Yesterday. Ford and his mystery
ball kept the Windy City crew guessing
most of the time. and the Yankees pulled
through with the big end of I to .
score. II vas not a particularly com
Portable margin that the WoNertoniahs
had at the end, however. for a brace OF
slips by Ford and bad nun by HartzeH
I'm the, ninth frame almost let the SoX
checkmate. They actually did gather In
four runs in that inning, and needed only
one more 10 tie.
BY downing the Sox, the YANKEES
evened up the series. and need win ohiS
one more game TO make the count even
for the season. White was on the noun"
for the White Sox, and his inability 10
cope with the Hilltoppers when there
were men on bases brought about MS
downfall. Ford. on the other hano'

and a sacrifice ny that came within an
ace OF setting AL his previous good WORK
at naught The Sox got thirteen hits OF

that ten of the visitors we're left on
/ the bases. White let the Yankees nave
eleven hits. but most OF them were prett
we'll punched. and only six OF the nom
players were left stranded.
Hal Chase was almost the whole lan-
kee team. His heldinG was Of superla-
( tive order and his batting was the kin'

not content with that exhibition OF hi

What made II the more astounding was
the fact that there were two out at IN"
