Ray Caldwell. pitching the same gilt
edged brand of ball that caused the critics
10 predict a brilliant future for him when

own after long lapse at the Polo
Grounds yesterday afternoon. Nominated
To- hold the "licago White Sox in check.
.the slender ,wirler performed after t''
fashion Of a Mathewson, a Plank q" Be-
johnson, and saw his team through 20
victory over Callahans boys for the sec
ond time in succession. The score was 10
l. II was the first game the big fellow has
started in in several weeks. for his shoui-
der has been long in recovering from
strain received in spring training. 1t was
his first victory Of the season.
In scoring his initial triumph Caldwell
left little TO he desired. With all the stun
in the world on the ball. he let the White
Sox down with a paltry four hits, and
moreover, he kept them so remotely scat
tered that were II not for decision oE
Bill Dineen and a poor throw by fov
Fartzell. which in great measure was ex-
cusahle. the White Sox would have played
thinking parts in the gambol. In keeping
with his downright meanness in the mat
ter of permitting safeties. which are the
life of the game, Caldwell was parsi-
monious with his gifts. Only twice did ne
so far forget himself as to underslgn
passes to first base.
II was an even thing until the fifth
frame. and then the White SoX got run
ner around. Collins started by driving
Av 20 left field. on which Cree made

into the fence, but holding fast. Schalk
dribbled a mean, weak little hopper 'la'
bounded badly for Hartzen and was saIe
Weaver ran in on the ball, as If TO punt
and. indeed. he did try 10 dump the oal'
hut fouled II instead Not for nothlhg

arm and declared that he had been hit. so
Dineen allowed him TO meander TO hrst
Schalk going 10 second. Eddie ClcotIe
grounded TO Midkiff. whose quick thro"

clared that that lone run would win' they

gumentive frame Of mind, and they went

ouirsd p touch-and-go acquaintance with
the offerings Of Cicotte, but 1t was mostly
NJ the go" variety. Cicotte. however
went straight up in the air, bound for
China in the sixth. and before the inning
was over he hal retired in favor OF jim
Scott. of Death Valley. The latter now
ever. was not destined for protracteu
STAY. He retired in the next session IN
favor of pinch hitter. who struck out
and Clarence Smith finished up.
HartzeH began the frame by coaXing
base on balls from the former Boston
hoy. and on the hit and run play VOTER
cid one past Weaver Daniels raised a
weak twisting fly IN back of second, and
near first. which fell safe while Rath'
Fournier and Chase bore witness. JUST
about then Clcotte passed Peckinpaugh'
so that Hartzell had TO score. and the
count was tied with the bases still hHed.

Daniels went 10 third. from which point
he tailed when Cree banged a double up
AGAINST the right field wall. That one
nrosperous inning was the only one when
the yankees enjoyed, but it was sufficient
10 bring victory.
Although Clce'3 catch Of the fly hy Col

best play - the game, there were other

and in the seventh inning he made stop

low his name 10 the skies. Caldwell shot
n vicious drive down TO Weaver. which
the latter threw way 10 one side Of the
base. II appeared as if the ball would
certainly roll 10 the stands, but Chase
whirled around and made fine back

inning. Weaver save the fans the cold

two men on bases, he dropped two drives
into the right field stands, foul by inchcs'
