Really Getting Wild
Win Another Extra Inning
Battle with the White
Sox
BY W. o. MCCLELLAN

Gay after carelessly tossing the pastime

was won on sheer pugnaci,y in the
tenth by the tight score Of to s. and

Pants Rowland, the boy manager of the
Chicago Americans. seemed relieved
that the fsnks had left him his sox
and a huttering hold on first place.
Nicholas Cullop, who started for the
fanks, was not very strong when he
started. and he weakened perceptibly as
the game progressed In all, the White
Sox pasted him for exactly eighteen
hits, enough TO win three or four ordl-
nary baseball games.
Donoyanites Get Mad
The secret o. the Yankees victory was
not the pitching. The psychological rea-

night, and when they hight they win.
Clarence Pants Rowland irritated the
Yankees by making certain personal
references 10 the nose. beak or pro-
boscis OF Wild William Donovan. This
beak has been more or less orna-
mental landmark of the Yankee bench,
and the Ysnks resented the slurs cast
in its direction. The repartee flew thick
and fast, with the Ianks having
shade.
In the ninth inning it looked so safe
for the Ianks that the grandstand
started 70 empty. The Donovanites had
a lead OF 70 3. But trouble descended
al t.t. -.

paws FelSch slapped a single 10 right

runners along.
BY this time the crowds began TO
block the exits. Risberg poked one to
Cullop, who threw him out at first.
SchalS got base on balls, and the
bases were filled, with two out. Az
this crisis Clarence assumed the atti-

Red SoS in slump
This made a total Of eighteen hits
that the Sox had registered against
Cullop, and Wild William Donovan en-
ulsted the intellectual example of Pants
Rowland and thought The minor de-
tails Of Wild Williams thoughts have
been censored but the net result was
that he gently led Cullop to the dugout,
and Slim Caldwell. the tempersmental
telegrapher, was ordered to save the
day
Slim slouched out to the box some
what cold. The first bal that he hurled
was wild pitch, and Murphy came hus-
Ting across the pan with the run that
tied the score Csdwel's Jaw dropped
against his chest for distance Of eigh-
teen feet. but no pulled himself to-
gether and struck out Risberg.
This lease Of life filled the Sox with
hope and eloquence. They began to

and violence, and they centred all their
wrath in a tenth inning drive that
smashed the Sox for fair.

Afraid Of Nunamaker

appeared soft. II couldn't be done.
Nunamaker waited till he got one
right in his fsvorite alley and hoisted
the ball into distant left field. That
was the swipe that ended the game
Peckinpaugh came scooting across the
pan with the winning run. Incidentally
/ II might be remarked that this was Peck

noon. He'll have that automobile yet.
