Collins the Only Visitor Who
Out Hit the Savages.

Although they defeated the Saw
ages bv the score of IL to Thurs
day afternoon, Manager Rowland's
regular White Sox team earned little
more credit than was given the sec

won Wednesday by the count of to 2
The comment that was made IN TINS

holds good for the squad that the
wonderful Eddie Collins heads, The

Pitching Tells Tale.
The main difference in the two
teams that battled in the icy atmos-
phere of Thursday afternoon lay al
most entirely in the pitchers box
Cfcotte, the SoX twirler, was in sea-
soned condition while the local pitch
ers were not. But, at that, during the
time they worked both Dashner and
Sanders made the pure hose veteran
extend himself considerably to retain
the low score on hits allowed. Dash
ner pitched the old steady brand of
ball that did so much to keep the
Savages in the pennant race last sea-
son, and Sanders during the time he
worked, made more supporters among
local fans than he ever made before.
The big Pittsburger allowed only two
bingles, and when the batters did
connect with his offerings they found
so much stuff on them that they could
not drive them.
The big score of the game was due
to the ineffective work of Hall during
the seventh and eighth frame when he
allowed Fights hits that counted seven
runs. Halls control was bad and his
stuff was not working, and after he
failed to fan Collins in the seventh he
seemed to be an easy mark for the
whole Rowland outfit.
Both Scored in First.
Both teams scored a run in the
Initial inning. Collins's single, a pass
ed ball and a centerfield drive by
Fcurnier gave the visitors theirs.
GoodWin's double and an overflow of
the bases caused by two walks and
Hanson's single produced the Savage
count.
In the third inning the scoring ma
chine was again used by both sides.
