George Dauss pitched mastery ball
for the Tigers, Urban Faber, the
red.headed spit-ball pitcher OF the
Sox, was nearly as good AS George.
Only when Faber weakened the Sox
had no chance 10 come back Tor him,
while when Dauss loosened a oil the
Tigers came back and earned the run
he had lost, and one more.
The White Sox managed TO find

ments, once there being fine chance
TO score when he hit into double
play.
The Sox got 10 hits of Dauss The
Ttsers got III of Faber
Both clubs had numerous oppor-
tunities TO win the game, but the
hitters couldn't come through IN the
pinches Crawford Bush, Moriarty
and Witt were the only men to deliver
at the psychological times, and then
each or them only once. Wits effort
was spoiled when he singled TO right

The Tigers most spectacular and
important bit of fielding came in the
seventh inning Collins had singled

die advanced him with a suicide.
Schalk put him along a notch with q
bunt that caught Moriarty back, Ray
