Yankees climbed into second place in
the American League by defeating the
Chicago White Sox here this afternoon.
George Nogridgc. the young star Of the
Yankee left-hsnders, was on the rubber
and won a fingers battle with Jim
Scott. Cy Williams and Joe Benz.
The score was . 20 o. The Yanks by
to-day's victory vaulted right over the
Washington Senators. oho were stopped
by the Detroit Tigers IN their invasion
OF Michigan. A margin OF nine points
now separates the teams.
MoCridce registered his third shut
out victory OF the year IN stopping
Rowland's men, and he MADE thor
ough job Of o.. He held the home team
down 10 half a dozen hits and kept
them well scattered
In the fourth and seventh innings
tho SoX got two hits, but the Yankee
defence came 10 the aid Of the south
paw and checked the advance on the
home plate. A wonderful throw by
GIlhooley from right field 20 third base,
retiring Jack Ness. had a quoting CT
feet on the Windy City men. In the
NTH a double play stopped a run.
There were $4,000 fans on hand 20
encourage the fsltering Rowland men,
and they rooted as only Chicago fans
can root Their enthusiasm was some
what dulled by the development Of al
fairs, but they made the most of their
chances. Their deeD-throated roars OF
applause were generally changed TO
disgruntlcd howls Of admiring protest
IS one Yankee after another would per
form some meritorious feat of arms.
In the fourth inning, for example,
Ness singled and tried 70 20 10 third
on a hit by Joe Jackson Frank Gil
hooley fooled him Cutting loose
perfect throw, he caught Ness at third
In the fifth inning Schslk doubled
and took third on a bunt by Terry
Jim Scott then flied TO Hughie High
and Schalk tried 20 score, but Hughie
cut loose perfect throw TO Nuna-
maker and the little catcher died at
the plate.
These were not the only instances Of
how the Yankees stood in behind their
pitcher. and. even # his work on the
mound was OF a superior brand, ne was
not lacking in support.
Enter First Victim.
Jim Scott, who has been accused Of
making his home in Death Valley at
various times, but who does not come
from that part Of the country al all,
was first sent out 10 oppose the IN
vaders. jim has had little trouble IN
beating the Yankees IN the past, Dut
to-day il was different. He retired al
ter the seventh inning, and Cy VIII
Jams took his place
The latter was no improvement on
Scott and in turn abdicated the mound
in favor Of Joe Benz. The last named
was nicked for q run, so he was quite
The Yankees did some long distance
swatting in the course Of the after
noon. They gathered in eight safe
clouts. and FIVE of these were Tor extra
bases Lee Magee stepped up IN the
sixth inning and slashed one down into
extreme centre field for home run.
Frank Gilhooley and Joe Gedeon got
triple and a double, respectively, while
Leslie Nunamaker, loath 10 play favor
ties. made one double and one triple.
All these extra base drives figured con-
spicuouslv in the scoring Of Yankee
runs, for they were pretty well grouped
UP in the scoring innings.
Fielding Was Bully.
II was we'll for the home pitchers
that the fielding was clean and sharp.
No errors bobbed up TO make the way
Of the runners a bit easier. Ray Schalk
caught a beautiful game, and nothing
got away from him. He ran 10 the
stands 10 make a great eaten OF I'LL
hooley's twisting foul and handled the
pitchers as best he could. Eddie Col
Inns took care Of the chances that pre-
scented themselves along the route Oh
The Yankees took the field with
Frank Baker at third and Roger Peck
inpaugh at shortstop. The irappe
Thunderbolt neglected the formality OF
gathering in any hits, but Peck got a
r.ncle in his three times at bat. Both
men PLAYED a superior brand Of ball on
tic defence. Baker handled four
chances. while Peck made one error IN
nine tries. ,,
The game was runless until the fifth.
Then PPM drove 20 right for the hrst
Iii of Scott. Pcckinpaugh kicked IN
with his hit and Highs one-base wal
Top scored Pipp.
In the sixth Lee Magee picked out a
place far beyond the range OF Happy
Telsch and sent the ball on long
iourney 20 that spot. Lee was home
fsr in advance Of the throw-in. and an
other run was chalked up on the score
board
Affairs then quieted down until the
eighth. Williams was on the mound IN
this session, replacing Scott when Nun,
shaker doubled. After Mogridge had
sacrificed Gilhooiey drove a triple into
richt field and Nunamaker scored.
Nagee hit long Ay and Gilhooley ran
across the plate. The going beng GOOD
Gcdeon doubled and Baker walked but
Peck failed in the pinch.
