player, hailing from Clinton, N. c. These two brought about the down fall of the Chicago combination when the outlook for a break in the series of defeats was none too bright.
 The Old Ball Game
 For three and a half innings the opposing boxmen had proved invinci- ble, and the thirty odd thousand fans were settling down for a hurling duel when Robertson sprang into the cal cium glare of fame. He ended the \ White Sox's four inning attempt to spenetrate the pitching of Benton with A great running catch of Gandirs lnog sizzling drive to right field when he hurled himself against the concrete wall of the grandstand and plucked the ball with one hand just as it was about to strike the wall. Had he missed the catch, Gandirs smash would have gone for at least a two base hit. But Robertson was not done. The Norfolk player dOffed his fielders glove and stepping into the batter's box picked one of Cicotte's sharp breaking low balls and drove it high and far into the right center. The sphere sailed upward and onward un- der the force of the blow until it seemed certain that it would equal Flesch's home-run drive of the open ing game. Both Jackson and Felsch raced frantically after the ball, but it hit the bleacher fence and bounded away from their clutches. Robertson was sliding into third base when the ball was returned to the infield.
 The Shine Bail
 \ Holke followed with a two-base irive to left field, scoring Robertson. Catcher Rariden. playing in place Of McCarty, who was injured in the sec ond battle at Chicago, advanced his teammate to third with sacrifice, Cicotte to Gandil.

 Burns to Rescue
 When Cicotte hurled up new white ball Burns hit puzzling slow ground CT toward third which scored Holke, who was half way to the plate when the bat met the ball Cicotte finally captured the sphere and tried to re- tire Burns at first, but his throw was wild and the batter continued on to second. With Herzog at bat the crowds were roofing strenuously for a | continuance of the hitting, but Gandil ohecked the rally with a wonderful | 1Anning catch of the Giants field cap . tain's foul, which he speared one i handed as the ball was about to dis ! appear among the spectators in one. of the ground row of the field boxes. l That was the end of the run-making for the day, for after that spectacular inning both Cicotte and Benton pitch ] ed well-nigh perfect ball. While both teams got runners on the bases, the hits to bring them home never were forthcoming.
 Pitchers Work Hard
 As was the case in the 2-to-1 win of Saturday, the winning pitcher was forced to deliver more balls than his defeated rival Benton taday pitched a total of 105 balls to Cicotte's 97, just as Cicotte in his victorious game hurl- ! ed 1O1 to Sallee's S5. During the nine innings which Benton pitched the Giants grenadier hurled 25 strikes, ] 3s balls. 14 foul strikes; the White Sox made hits, drove out 14 flies and hit fouls.
