POOR FIELDING
TO WHITE SOX
Nick Cullop and Williams
in Southpaw Pitchers
Battle.

Chicago. Sept. 24.-Nick Cullop and
Claude Williams, both southpaws, en-
gagged in closely fought pitching duel
at Comiskey Park this afternoon, and
the verdict went against the New York
left-hander through 10 fault of has
own. One hit an inning was the best
that either club could get against fork
arm slants OF these box rivals, but
Williams was fortunate in having more
Yankee misplays mixed up with the
Sox's hits than the Rowland boys would
mix with Yankee blows. The score was
2 to l.
An error played part in each OF
Chicago's runs and in the lone marker
hung up by the Yanks. The Yankees,
however, undoubtedly would have put
over their run regardless Of the error,
while the SoX needed the two misplays
for their runs. pipp and Baker wero
the offenders in fielding.
Cullup allowed the White Sox only
four hits up to the time he was taken
out of the game in the eighth inning.
Donovan sent Charley Mullen in TO bat
for Nick, hoping that he might start q
rally, but the best Charley had was a
grounder to McMullin for an easy out.
Allen Russell pitched the eighth inn
ing against the Sox, and retired the
Rowland boys In order.
McMullin Stops Rush.

the opening frame, and but for . spec
taculaI play by McMullin might have

while he covered on Hendricks bunt.

on which McMullin made one-hand
stop. lie shot the ball to Eddie Col
Inns and then il went to Ness for a
double play, Magee being held at third;

line for two bases and Magee counted.

inning and was never headed

at first. Jackson grounded TO Pipp, who
