Box in One-Sided Game
at Chicago

CHICAGO. June 3.-The White Sox
Sox had a merry time with the side
arm shoots of Allan Russell this after
noon and defeated the New York
Yankees by n score of to g Eddie
Cicotte, the star. twirler Of the world
champions, was in the box for the
home tea n. and although he was found
for almost as many hits as Russell
they were so scattered that they did
far less damage.
The sixth inning was the occasion
for the punching of bingles that drove
Russell from the box and settled the
argument as to the result of the game
Russell was unsteady when Risbere,
the first man up in this frame, faced
him and the shortstop walked. Ray
Schalk sacrificed, Baker to Pipp, and
then Russell seemed to grow wilder
and wilder. He passed Cicotte and
then Licbold also strolled, filling the
bases.
A Costly Error
Truck Hannah, in an endeavor to
catch Risberg off third, threw wildly
and Risberg scored Cicotte went to
third and Liebold to second on the
miscue. Eddie Murphy lined a safety
to centre on which both Cicotte and
Liebold crossed the plate. Eddie Col
Inns Strengthened out one Of Russell's
fast ones for double to left which
sent Murphy to third. Happy Felsch
was passed purposely. Weaver got an
infield hit, Murphy scoring. Gandl
drove a grounder to RUSSELL who threw
to Hannah in plenty Of time to nab
Collins at the home station. but Truck
made an inglorious muff and not only
Collins, but Felsch also counted.
Gandil attempted to advance to second
but was run down. Pratt threw out
Risbcrg on the latter's second trip
to the plate in this inning.
The Yankees scored their first run
in the opening inning. Gilhooley beat
out an infeld hit and Peckinpaugh
sacrificed to Gandil, unassisted. Baker
walked. Pratt drove a long fly to
Murphy, Gilhooley going to third after
the catch. Gil and Baker then worked
d double steal successfully, the former
scoring.
The White Sox, with Finneran as the
opposing pitcher, Tailed another run
in the fifth, Home Run Baker being in
a large measure responsible. Murphy
banged an easy one down toward third,
but Baker made a wild toss to first and
Murphy was safe. Eddie Collins sacri-
feed, Baker to Pipp, and then Felsch
tripled to centre tallying Murphy.
Felsch was caught between the bases
and run down on Weaver's tap to
Pratt and Gandil flied to Bodic.
Two More in Seventh
In the seventh, just for good meas,
ure. the White Sox scored two more
runs. Licbold singled as starter and
Murphy sacrificed. Eddie Collins bunted
along the third base line and the ball
refused to roll fair, as the Yankees
figured it would. Collins shot to sec
ond while Baker was cycling the bound
ing sphere and Liebold went to third
Felsch again proved his worth in a
pinch by singing to centre, scoring
Liebold and Collins.
Ping Bodie. who made three hits in
four times at bat during the game,
vainly attempted to start rally for
the visitors in the ninth by opening
the inning with a single to left. Miller
and Hannah both declined to give any
assistance, both expiring on flies to
Liebold. Fewster, pinch hitting for
Finneran, put period on the proceed
ings by lifting to Murphy.
The score:
