one Of the most imperfect days in his
tory came the White sox again with

They won to 5, and after a wild

fans alternately cursing and cheering
each team. First the Sox exploded

sending Reb Russell to the slab had
wrecked Chicago hopes, that the
game and set belonged TO the Giants.

CALAMITY when called to the rescue
three hard games in week proved
too much
Under the spirited attack Of the
Giants the White SOE broke in their
defence, and broke badly until the
Giants assumed a lead that seemed
safe, excepting 10 those who were
watching closely the work OF Sallee.
SaIIee Much Weakened.
The dope was that Sallee never
would last out game against the
White Sox during the remainder OF
the series ne cope aAEl was LAaL

Of Reb Russell and 1t was up 70 the
dope TO work out
II started working right off
the reel, for Russell pitching to
three mea, passed one. allowed
another TO single and then
allowed Benny knuff to double,
hit which was almost n home
run and which would have been a
home run on the Polo grounds
Thereupon Russell disappeared It
would have been well for the hopes
of the Giants had Sallee disappeared
with HIM for he was not pitching
well, was not effective, excepting
with his brain work. and fair control,
which was fair only in spots when
needed

pitchers warmed up. but each time
SAL grabbed az straws and dragged
himself TO the surface to regain his
breath Not at any time did he seem
to be working well nor did he appear
to have the White SoL baffled as did

SOx Make Late Start.
Even when they got a start they
could not get IN because the Giants
were attacking right back. coming
over the top in counter charges, each
time the White Sex gained a lap, and
recovering the lost ground
Three times Gandil had been up
without making a hit, and any time
had he delivered the hit the White
sox would have been back on earth
and back into the hearts Of their
friends
There was q battle going on
down there in the field for the

names and riding the base run
nerE. Il being the official open
ing Of the football season the
teams staged a kicking and tack

order and real feeling. Several
times they stuck out their jaws
at each other and were mad.

kept him in there because he realized
that II Sallee got away with the game

McGraW Plays 20 Luck.
Perhaps he banked on their luck
for the day, the Giants having won
the toss that settled the seventh
game in New York, II any seventh
game is necessary The tip off On
Sallee was that Eddie Collins and Joe
Jackson were hitting him hard
