CHICAGO WINS ONLY
ONE GAME OF SERIES
Yankees Overcome Big
Lead and Clinch Contest
in the Eighth.
BY w. O. McGEEHAN.

Write down one more desperate deed
AGAINST the name Of Wild Bill Donovan,
the Red Avenger Of Coogans Bluff.
After tossing away yesterdays ball
game with the White Sox the embattled
Yanks put on their asbestos gloves and
pulled II right out Of the fire again in
the eighth by a whisker, or to be
mathematically exact, the score Of D
20 4.
As he turned 10 leave the field where
Comiskeys Costly Cattle were maced
three times in a row, Clarence Row
land. the boy manager, said bitterly:
"If these guys are invalids I'd hate TO
meet them when they have their
health"
This session with the infrm Yanks
has raised the deuce with q lot Of
serious intentions which the White SoX
have held in regard to the American
League remnant. Yesterdays victory
puts the Yanks Just half game behind
the White Sox, and II is very humiliat-
ing to a person who thinks that he Is
racing to have q person on crutches
come running up behind and tell HIM
20 get out of the way. The Whlte SoX
know Just how Dario Resta would feel
if a guy in a dinky fivver shouted to
him TO get out Of the way.
Dice Loaded Both Ways.
Considered from a scientific point Of
view. the game was decidedly Of the
fromaeenous variety First the breaks
were with the Sox, and they scared into
the lead. Then Fate, which had loaded
the dice both ways, made pass Tor the
Yanks, and Comiskey's expensive attn
letes began to look like something that
the cat had dragged in.
But though the fielding was as loose
as Heinie Zimmerman's goat, the eighth
innin. victory of the Yanks furnished
one OF those melodramatic endings that
caused the humid multitude to toss It's
soggv straw bonnets 10 the misty
zephyrs. There hasn't been so much
enthusiasm in these parts since Patu
came back the first time
At that there were few heart
throbs scattered through the moist and
murky afternoon. The Yanks began
10 paste Reb Russell in the fourth, but
he is an aggravating person to paste,
and the best that three safe swats
brought them was one lonesome run.
II was brought over by Joe Gedeon.
Joseph was the first 20 swat the
Rebel for a single TO right. The
ancient Philadelphian, RUDE Oldring,
followed with a single TO left, but was
forced at second by Charlie Mullen.
Paddy Bauman knocked another chunk
out Of Russell and scored Gedeon.
Weird Fifth Inning.
In the Sox half of the fifth inning
Bill Donovan's sterling athletes seemed
10 have gone unanimously bugs. First
Mogridge beaned Felsch with the first
pitched ball. Jacques Fourier, the
great Gascon first sacker, beat out
bunt
As the Gascon started 70 steal sec
ond Wolters drew his arm back TO peg
him at second Usually when a Sox
member, red or white, starts to steal
on VOTERS he is dead specimen of
hosiery For VOTERS is about as &C
curate as one of those French los. But
yesterday something was the matter
with his range finder. The ball went
high and wild, and Felsch reached
third. while Fourier landed IN the
second sack.
At this juncture Field Marshal Row
land called up Won Kolnitz with the
heavy artillery. The terrible 1euton
shot one at Peckinpaugh, who went
mad with the rest of his team, bootlng
the ball. Felsch scored and Fourier
reached third. Terry walked, and
Fournier scored on Terry's sacrifice
fly. Collins popped TO Lee Magee. Lee
nailed the ball all right, but his wits
were wool gathering. He was under
the impression that II was the third
out. so he tossed the ball In no par
ticular direction and started 20 run
toward the Yankee dugout. BY the
time he had recovered consciousness
Sehalk, who was running for the leu
ton, reached third
Schalk scored when Joe GedeOn al
lowed a throw from Walters TO bounce
from his mitt. Altogether the Sox had
scored three runs with just the meas
Hest sort Of a hit
The pale-hosed Chicagoans added an
other in their half of the eighth Buck
Weaver got a base on balls, and Collins
sent him romping to third with long
single to right Jackson brought him
home with a sacrifice fly.
At this juncture nobody would give
plugged jitney for the chances of the
Yanks. The gambling fraternity which
had laid against the YankS all week
and lost had bet something like 10 to
that Bill Donovan's men would not win
yesterday
Peck Starts the Rumpus.
There were two out IN the Yankees
half of the eighth when everything be-
gan to happen all at once. Peckin-
paugh, the faithful started the rumpus
with a single to right. Just then Wild
Bill, the Red Avenger, cast his eager
eve at the cots in the dugout where his
wounded warriors lay. He wigwagged
TO Fritz Maisel.
That pale and emaciated veteran
came up to bat with his war club hang
ing Imply in his nervous paws. The
first ball pitched clipped him in the
shin and he went limping down TO first.
Rube Oldring, the ancient Philadel-
phia agriculturist, came TO bat next,
and Reb Russell began to get more than
usually rebellious. lie could not find
the plate, and the farmer was given
