CHICAGO, August 3. = The
White SoN eyened up their sea-
sons series with the Athletics to-
day by licking the Macknen. 7 to
4, in their final game at Comis-
keys park. Cicotte worked the
full route and was batted for more
safeties than the Galatians could
get off Brown and Bush. but he
scattered the hits better than the
visiting fingers and was a lot
steadier on the slab.
Four bases on balls helped the
locals, for Berger drew three OF
them and scored three of Chi
cagos tallies. Weaver and Bodie
| did the heavy sticking for the
Sox with a single and a triple
each. Weaver made up for his
costly error of the day before By
leading the opening rally, which
netted Chicago's two runs. His
three-bagger in the eighth was
wasted. Bodie made his three
cushion shot with two men on in
the third and was the chief factor
in the three runs made in tina,
frame. Lord and Chase also
bagged pair Of safeties.
The Athletics grouped four OF
their hits off Cicotte in the fifth,
and Lord made three-base wild
throw to help them out. but only
two runs resulted. In the ninth
the Mackmen started another
rally which netted three runs on
a pair of three-baggers and 4
single after one was out. but CT
cote frightened up and disposed Of
Eddie Collins and Baker. Bush
crowned the sphere for a double
and triple. but Eddie Murphy was
the swatting kid. He made four
singles in five chances.
