Series From New York
Yankees D to 1.

New York, July 11.-By jumping
away to a commanding lead, our
worlds champion White Sox were
able to capture the final game of
the series on the New York sector
of the eastern front yesterday, thus
getting an even break in the six
combats. So they left for Boston
last night, still nourishing the be-
lief they are in the pennant race.
The count was ) TO 4. and from the
fourth round on it required STRAIT
egg and everything to maintain
one-run lead to the finish.
Storming the sOuthpaw curves OF
Mr.. George Mogridge in the first and
second innings, the Rowlanders
drove three men home before Colo
mel Higgins realized that Mogridge
nevre would do in so stern a fight.
He was yanked and Allen Russell
summoned to command the guns,
but before he settled down the Son
had two more tallies. The score:
