New-York tribune., 1917-07-28

beaten, by 9 to 5.
1t was a tough session to lose,
than the Sox. AS sample of how +
Hendryx twice connected for three-l
scoring.
The Yanks had the hits, but they
failed to accumulate at the psychology
cal moments. Something more potent
than a six-toed Senegambian will have
to be used if the Yankees are going to
overcome the curse of Cicotte.
Ray Caldwell. the temperamental
telegrapher, started the game for the
Ysnks. He was pasted freely, and In
the fourth inning made way for Slim
Love. the trouble man of the Yankee
pitching staff. Slimuel gave way to
Nunamaker, acting as a pinch hitter in
the fifth, and Urban Shocker, who has
heen suffering from a dash of disci-
plne, finished the game.
Red Russell, who started the game
for the White Sox, began to show
symptoms Of lapsus angora, or lost
goat. in the sixth inning. The Yanks
accumulated two runs while he was in
an agitated state of mind. and Cicotte,
who is slow poison to the Yankees,
went in at the opening Of the seventh
to finish the Donovanites. He did.
Refuses To BE linked
Tim Hendryx seemed to be the only
Yank who refused to recognize Cicotte
as jinx. He greeted him with long
hit that travelled to the centre field
fence for a three-bagger, but Timothy
was trapped between third and the
home plate when Peckinpaugh raped
one to Buck Weaver.
The entrance of Cicotte into the game
took all the science out Of it, for it is
written in the record book that the
Yankees cannot beat him. Clarence
Pants Rowland, on the other hand, has
the excuse that the Yanks were the
first to employ frightfulness in the
jinx line by signing the six-toed Sene-
gambian.
OF course it's all superstition, this
Cicotte thing, but the fact remains that
the Yankees were forging up when
| Cicotte came in. They were batting
like fiends and fielding beautifully.
| Wild William Donovan will not dis
charge the six-toed Senegambian. He
holds that even this Afro -Harlemite
youth with the extra toe could not be
expected to overcome the sinister pres
| ence Of Cicotte.
The Sox started with conventional
run in the first inning. Liebold got a
base on balls and went to second on
Weaver's sacrifice. Edward Collins
sent him to third with a single and he
scored on Jackson's sacrifice fly.
The Yanks tied in the second. Ar
mando Marsans, the Cuban, doubled,
with two out, and scored on Conscript
Elmer Miller's hit to left.
Caldwell began to experience some
serious trouble in the third inning.
Rob Russell, who is a handy person
with the stick, started it with triple
70 left field. With Liebold out, Buck
Weaver slashed the ball TO the right
centre corner of the lot. While the
outfielders were skating after the ball
Weaver circumnavigated the infield for
a home run, scoring Russell ahead of
him.
Trouble Accumulates
The trouble continued to accumulate
in the fourth. Felsch raped one to
Peckinpaugh, the usually perfect field
er. But Peck was in one of his imper-
feet moods just then and juggled the
ball. Felsch was safe. Gandl bounced
hit through short. Lynn scored
Felsch with single to centre field.
Wild William Donovan then beckoned
to Slimrel Love, who advanced from
the outfield in two strides. Love
stopped the next two.
In order to prove that they were not
partial as to pitchers the White Sox
slammed Slimuel for two in the fifth
inning. Eddie Collins drew base on
balls. Then with two out Felsch pasted
hit against the right field wall. Gan
dill followed with a two-bagger over
Pipp's head. Collins dashed in and
Felsch scored when Hendryx hurled to
second in an attempt to check Gandil.
The Yanks got one in their half of
the same inning when Elmer Miller led
with a two Dagger. After Waters and
Nunamaker had failed to bulge him
from second Tim Hendryx brought him
home with clean single to left.
The embattled Yanks started rally
in the sixth, but it did not go far
enough. The mutterings of the multi
tuda began TO annoy Red Russell and
he went wild. He passed Peckinpaugh
and Pipp. Then he demanded that Um-
pire Moriarity give him a new ball.
Moriarity examined the pill and passed
it back to him.
Red insisted that the pill was illegal
and null and void or something like
that. He hurled IL at Baker couple OF
times, but could not get it over the
plate. Finally he demanded that Nor
Rarity reinspect the pill. This time
the ball was condemned. Baker died,
an infeld out Marsans flied to right
and il looked tough.
Miller Scores Two
Elmer Miller, the most timely
Yankee swatter for the day. came to
hat In the crisis. He smashed a hit
10 right and scored Peckinpaugh and
Pipp. The rally looked promising
when Walters followed with clean
drive to centre, but Shocker was an
other infeld out. :,
In the seventh Hendryx saluted
Cicotte with his second three bagger
