Charley himsel. did not pick the cir
c~umstances. Personally he would have
preferred clearing the bases with a
triple. but AZ long as Jacques Fourier

Charley didn't object. Mullen isn't a
BIT particular. That mum was as useful
as a triple. 1t let in the two tying runs
in the eighth. and Charley carried In the
winning run a moment later on a pinch

Nanks DO the pected.
The White Sox do not enjoy losing
games to the Yankees, n they took
their last three defeats with poor grace.
The ianks sort sf have "A habit Of catch

that tone OF voice and he didn't intend
TO change that custom in August. 1915.
Russell Fills The bases.
Russell still was an angry Texan when
he let go "A fourth ball at Oldring. That

all day. inc the days that he doesn't
make hits are az rare AZ the days In
