At the present writing the White Sox
have all the earmarks and BertilloI
measurements of the persons who are
to meet the New York Giants in the
next worlds series. They have looked
that way on paper for some time, but
at last they begin to look like it in the
field. This is really ominous. Clarence
Pants Rowland can now trade sneer
for sneer with the naughty Wild Will
lam Donovan, and Clarence is a couple
of sneers ahead.
Ii was tragic afternoon for Smiling
William, who is now dubbed Smileless
Bill Donovan. The breaks were against
the Yanks-yes, but the fielding Of the
Sox was something superb. The expen-
siye athletes under command Of Clar-
ence Pants Rowland are beginning TO
show some of the attributes for which
they were purchased. The Yanks are
not showing anything much in public.
Dum-Dum Bail Effective
In the first game the Yankees faced
Cicotte, whose polished dum-dum ball
has baiiied them from time immemorial.
1t bafled them again. The SoX punched
singles and doubles on Mogridge in
the seventh and the eighth to the tune
of two runs per inning. Whenever the
Yanks got dangerous the Sox infeld
pulled some impossible stops.
In the second game Ray Fisher was
batted out of the box in the first inn
ing. The Sox had four runs and the
game before Russell was rushed into
the breach. Ray Fisher will be one of
the first of the Yankees to be drafted.
As Fisher left the box one of the
Yankee owners struck a Nathan Hale
attitude and said: my only regret is
that | have but one Ray Fisher to give
TO my country"
Armando Marsans, the Cuban outfield-
er, who was secured IN trade for Lee
Magee and a pack of cigarettes, made
his debut as Yankee. II Armando has
nothing else he has good manners. When
he makes a good catch and the grand
stand applauds Armando removes his
cap with a sweep that suggests Beau
Brummel, Sam Crane and John Drew.
He may not hit any more than 800 in
the league, but in the matter Of eti-
guette he bats az least 300.
There we're about ten thousand an
guished Yank rooters on hand when the
New York Americans came up for their
second beating of the afternoon. They
got the bad news early. With Leibold
out, the White Sox started a parade at
-
Weaver and Eddie Collins singled.
Joe Jackson hit TO right field and
scored Weaver. Collins scored. on
.Felsch's sacrifice fy. Gandil singled
past Gedeon and Risberg shot a hit-to
centre, scoring Jackson. At this point
of the hostiities Prospective Bombar-
der Fisher was hoisted out of the range
of the Sox and Allan Russell was sent
in to stem the rush. Schalk pasted Rus
sell for a hit to centre, and Gandil
scored, but Risberg was caught out at
the plate.
The Yanks got one in the second
through a couple of passes, RusselPs
bunt and Faber's wild heave to first.
In the seventh the Yankees looked as
though they would start rally, but
they were nailed in their tracks.
Elmer Miller, another prospective
conscript, started with clean three
base hit to centre. Walters flied out
to Felsch. Ray Caldwell was sent in
as a pinch hitter for Russell and
drew base on balls. Gilhooley, the
most consistent invalid on the Yank
payroll, was sent in TO run for Cald-
well.
With the stage all set for rush 10
tie the score, Tim Hendryx was sent
in to bat for High. Tim shot bullet
drive for right centre 1t looked like
three bases, or two at the least. Just
as il was topping Eddie Collins the
White Sox second baseman leaped. lift
ed one hand and speared the ball. That
took what little heart the Yankees had
right out Of them. The White Sox got
one more. but that was only rubbing IL
in.
Risberg, the shortstop of the White
Sox, knocked himself out for few
minutes in the second game. He chased
a foul by Gedeon clear to the stands
and hurled himself against the con-
crete wall 10 get it. He fell, but he
held the ball.
The Sox perpetrated some sensa-
tional fielding in the first game, too.
In the eighth the Yanks looked "a

Inns and double by Fetish added two

The lone run of the Yanks came in
the sixth, when Pipp singled, stole and
went to third on a poor heave by
Schalk. He was squeezed home on the
play that is the Yankee speciality.

drive wilted in the second game. When
