lowed with a pass and the second of
Kernan's CONSECUTIVE doubles registered
Faeth with the winning run.
Until the ninth the score was to d.
Poster, slated for the big leagues, and
said to be sought after by six major
league clubs, was on the mound for
the visitors, but was rather wild, issu-
ing seven passes. Faeth had better
control and allowed only three walks.
White Sox Score First.
The visitors scored in the opening
round when Altman, lead off man,
singled, and went to second, while
Baker was being retired, Herman to
Reynold Kirkham drew life and Alt
man scored. Kirkham was thrown out
by Brokaw after Shredder had struck
out and Williams had singled.
The diggers came back in their half
of the frame with two tallies. Rey-
nolds, changed to the lead off position,
from the seventh batting place, sur
prised Poster by dumping down a
neat bunt, which he beat out. Posten's
throw to Shredder was wild and Rey-
nolds scampered to second. Herman
walked. BrokaW was thrown out by
Baker, and Fortman was hit by a
pitched ball. Reynolds was caught
off third and tagged out by Sweeley.
Herman and Fortman registered on
Greisch's single to centerfeld.
Sox Score Again.
In the third the Sox scored again.
Baker walked and scored on Kirk
hams double. Shredder singled, but
Kirkham was thrown out at the plate
by Brokaw, after Shroeder's hit had
been fielded. Williams and Wolfe
walked, filing the bases, but OBrien
forced Williams at third.
In the fourth the visitors took a
two-run lead SWeeley reached first
on Sundheim's error and Poster flew
out to Brokaw. Altman drew life,
while Sweeley was being forced at
second. Bakers double scored Alt

hams second consecutive double.
Diggers Tie Score.
In the sixth, usually an unlucky in.

Notes of the Game.
Faeth is working hard and yester-
day was one Of the first ball players
at the park. He is regarded as a
dangerous sticker and although Posten
whitfield him in his first two appear.
ances at the plate, his triple spelled
young Posten's undoing. Faeth's triple
was the only three base hit of the
game.
The White Sox looked like a COM
bination of Grand Forks and Winnipeg
players. At first was Shredder, for
mer Flickertail, while at third was
Baker, formerly with the Canucks.
In the dugout and on the coaching
lines was P. Morse, former Grand
Forks pitcher. His brother, Peter
who has been playing second base with
the Docks, has drawn his release.
Darby O'Brien is in the game again
The old Roman did little with the
stick yesterday and had only three
fielding chances, which he accepted
faultlessly.
This was Posten's first appearance
and the big boy looked fair He hac

Bill Fox gave satisfaction in the

and bids fair to develop into one Of

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 1.-THE iron
and steel market reflects strength in
all branches from pig iron down to
nuts and bolts. Deliveries are falling
behind in most instances, some mills
being behind from two to four months
on deliveries. Prices are stiffening
all along the line. Inquiries for wal
material appear numerous, but dupli.
