the performances of the beavers, and
boosting these South Side twirlers
has become monotonous. When they
allow over half a dozen hits it is
cause for comment, and they can be
accused of slipping and losing their
effectiveness.
Read this record: Benz held the
Yanks to three hits and a lone tally
Saturday. Faber held them to three
hits and a blank in the run column
Sunday. And then comes Russell,
who gets by with two hits and no
runs counted against him.
Cicotte or Scott will have to pitch
a one-hit game this afternoon or lose
class among their fellows.
With the exception of Russell
Blackburne, there is not enough base
stealing by White Sox athletes. True,
you have to get to first before steal
ing second, but even when a local
man reaches the first station there
does not seem to be much chance
that he will arrive at theskeystone by
theft.
BIackburne, despite his mediocre
batting average, is high among the
league leaders in bases swiped, press
ing close to Milan and Moeller of
Washington. Weaver and Collins
have the speed, and should steal
more. Probably they are not allowed
to run wild.
As long as Bresnahan and Archer
are able to alternate behind the bat
for the Cubs that team can hope to
cling and fight for position with the
leaders of the race.
Both. men are veterans and more
susceptible to. injury than younger
players, but one has usually recov-
cred by the time the other is laid
on the shelf.
