James and LouderInilk Oppose Each

The lrresistibles suffered defeat al
the hands of the Invinoibles at Jun

very pretty seven-inning game in
which the final score was five and
three. In this practice game Man
lager Jennings gave Bill James and
Grover Loudermilk a three-inning
work out and then yanked them out
Ito give the youngsters a chance.
THE relief pitchers were Smithsoa
and Boehler. In the initial inning
James had his benders working nice
lily and held the Irresistibles score
less with only one man making Il
to first base, but Loudly was not so
fortunate. Fuller was passed be
fore he could locate the plate and
then kavanaugh hit for two bases
and Fuller scored. Stanage secri-
feed kavanaugh to third base and
he scored on Veach's sacrifice fly.
This gave the Invincibles a lead of
two runs.
In the second half of the inning
the Irresistibles got away with a
couple of hits which netted run.
McTigue placed a long one to cen
ter and raced around to third base
while the pill was being relayei
home. Maisel followed with a safe
hit to center that scored McTigue,
but he was later caught off second
base for an out Mckee got in the
way of one of James fast ones and
drew base only to be caught in an
attempt to steal home. Louder
milk struck out after Smithson was
walked. There was nothing doing
for the Invincibles in their part Of
the inning for Loudly was working
we'll and had them out in rapid sue
cession.
The third inning looked bad for
James when Bush hit safe over sec
ond base, Young made it to first
on error and Witt beat out bunt,
Burns sent long fly to center that
was good for a sacrifice but Bush
was in a hurry to get away from
third base and was called out on a
double play, Harper to Heilman TO
Kavanaugh to Stanage, retiring the
side without a score after the bases
had been filled without a man out.
For the Invincibles Kavanaugh hit
safe after Fuller had gone out aud

WHITE SOX AND BOSTON IN
GRAPPLE FOR THE LEAD
BY Mark Shields

TO maintain their grip on first
place at the close of the sessions
with the eastern teams the White
Sox must get an even split with the
Boston Red Sox in the four-game set
starting this afternoon. Three out
of four for the enemy will shove the
locals to second place by a game and
a half, their margin of victory now
being half game.
Should the South Siders get three
out of four it will, for the present,
materially relieve the congestion
around the top of the league. In the
light of their conduct against New
York and Washington the Sox can
figure on an even break as their best
performance.
The Red Sox series will be fol-
lowed by three games here against
Detroit and then our prides hike east
for one more visit. They should be
on top when they start that traverse
or their pennant probabilities will be
dimmed. Against all fasteners but
the Athletics they have showed less
this time at home than the previous
sojoUrn.
And the lines will be tightly drawn
when the SOx reach the east again.
New York has Cullop back in form,
and Magee, Maisel and Baker. may
be ready when the club gets back
home. This means the Hose will find
three tough spots in the east. Four
games against the Mackmen should
be soft, but we now have no advan-
tage in that direction, for the other
clubs have as many games scheduled
with the KOmical Kids as the Row.
landites.
That swollen Mackian series of.
eight games here was counted on to
put the Sox in the race. It did. But
a better record should have been
made against Washington and New
York.
