camp yesterday to the tune of to 2

game was marked by superb pitching
on the part of Sammy Creasbaum for

meant a rum. He was backed up by
marvellous fielding, the whole team

Outbat and Outfield Browns
in 10 Clash, But Prove
Weak in Pinch.

st. Louis, Mo-, Sept. 8.-Chicago's
White Sox submitted to their second
whitewash at the hands of the disor-
ganized Browns and oozed back into
the second division yesterday because
they could not score a single run off
Baumgardner. The final count was /
to O.
The Sox outbatted and outhelded the
Browns. but were like children in the
hands of the enemy when they had a
chance to score runs Four different
times the first visitor at bat reached
first base. Once the Sox had men on
third and first. with nobody out Again
there were Sox on third and first, with
one out. From all these swell open
ings the Galatians emerged runless. In
fact. they have scored only one run in
twenty seven innings against the
Browns.
st. Louis had only two chances to
score off Benz and Cicotte and they
improved one OF them for the only
tally they needed. Two singles and a
stolen base, did the trick.
