An Odd Play
Helps Yanks
To Win Game
Schalk Sits on Peck While
He Receivers Ball, but
Run Counts

Chicago. July 13-The Yankees man
aged to run another game with the
White Sox into overtime to-day, and, as
Wild Bil's boys have a penchant for
achieving hard earned honors, they
bagged the battle in the eleventh inn
ing by score Of TO 5.
A most unusual play gave New York
the victory. One was out in the elev-
enth, when Roger Peck!npaugh singled.
He advanced on Magees sacrifice. Wal
ter Pipp followed with single, his
third safe hit Of the afternoon. 1t was
a sharp drive, which Hap Felsch
scooped up while on a rallop. Peck,
naturally, was coached on for the
plate, as nothing but a perfect stop
and perfect throw by Felsch could hope
to shut of the run.
Throw Beats Peck
Felsch made just that kind OF stop
and throw. The ball had Peckinpaugh
beaten by a couple Of yards. Ray
Schalk dropped on Roger. But he also
dropped the ball. Peck was pinned
down fully a foot from his goal. Schalk
had a strangle hold on the runner, and
while ne held him recovered the ball
and tagged his man. Umpire Billy
Evans, however, allowed the shortstop
to score. claiming Schalk had illegally
held the runner while he recovered the
dropped throw.
The Yankees showed a fash OF spirit
in winning out. 1t was an uphill strug,
gle for them. as the White Sox cuffed
the erratic Ray Caldwell out of the
box in the first inning, when they
scored four runs. Chicago's final tally
was put over by Felsch in the sixth
1t was a home run drive and the only
hit off Allen Russell, who pitched the
last seven innings for New York.
For the first time during this visit
the visitors showed a real punch on
offence to-day. Williams and Faber
were hammered for fourteen hits, TO-
falling nineteen bases. Williams, like
Caldwell, was knocked out of the box
If Nunamaker had not caught Wea-
yer and Rlsberg stealing in the first
inning the Yankees would have been
left absolutely st the post. Passes TO
Leibold and Eddie Collins, singles by
Felsch and Risberg and Gandiis double
gave only four runs. Love had 10 be
sent 20 Caldwell's assistance, but didn't
have TO extend himself. as Risberg
died stealing for the third out on
Sims first pitch.
Yankees Get One Back
New York got one back in the Sec
ond on Pipp's double and Bakers sin
gle. They should have had bundle
in the fifth and got none. Cullcp and
Hendryx singled with none out, but
Nick was doubled with Peckinpaugh.
Only one run came in the sixth
where there should have been a flock.
Pipp tripled and Baker doubled with
none out. Then the attack folded.
Weaver held j. Franklin at second
while he threw out Miller. Baumann
was safe and Baker reached third on
+. Collins's tumble. Nunamaker was
called out on strikes. Gilhooley, hit
ting for Cullop, was thrown out by
Faber. g.,
Felsch greeted Allen Russell with q
home run in the sixth. This was the
first, last and only blow the White Sox
got from the fifth TO the close Of the
game. The Yankees tied the score on
Faber in the seventh. With one out
Peckinpaugh was hit by pitched ball;
Magee singled and after Faber tossed
out Pipp. Baker was passed purposely
filing the bases. Miller singled. scor-
ing Peckinpaugh and Msgee, and on
Leibod's poor return Baker also
Tailed.
