Whs. is left OF the Yankees engaged
the remnants of the Chicago worlds
champions in a double header on the
Polo Grounds yesterday and an even
split ensued. The frayed and tattered
monarchs OF the diamond captured the
first game by a score Of to I. and the
Yanks evened It up in the second section
by winning at 7 to 2.
The series is for the posse ssion Of the
bottom berth in the first division, and
the teams quit in the same relative posi-
lions In which they started. Under the
new worlds series divvy, provided a
series Is played. all four first division
clubs viii take little slice Of the spoils.
Imagine the once proud worlds cham
pions fighting for these crumbs OF
sugar!

tisn. Gone are the great Eddie Collins
Josephus Jackson. Oscar Felsch ard
Urban Faber. and the lesser lights, Fred
McMullen, swede Risberg. Claude will

like a set OF lace curtains Just returned
from a battle with the mice.

among the Pennsylvania coal mines and
ball fans know him only as Weaver.
One feature OF the double header was
the fact that Slim Love hung up a sea-
sons record In the second game when
he famed full dozen Of the sox. Prior
to that Walter Johnson had the best
performance OF the year with ten.
Mostil, who is a Chicago semi-pro, con-
tributed three Of the twelve, and Memo
Leibold. who never was partial to left
handlers. also breezed thrice.
Love was due for victory. as he
hadn't won a game since June 81, and
lost six straight before landing yester-
day. He needed his strike outs in the
pinches. as he walked six. and fourteen
White sox were left on the bases. In
the FIRST game. however. only two sox
were left.
A pretty feature was q concert BY the
Police Departments Glee Club during
the intermission between games The
coppers brought their own organ along
and sang some breezy stuff including
one forceful ditty to the effect that the

score of years After their concert the
coppers went through the stand selling
tickets for their athletic carnival. and
did a rafting business.

Things broke badly for Georre Mo-
gridge in the f,rst game. as the Sox
scored five runs on him after the side
should have been out. After this stormy
round only two hits were made or him
in the roxt seven innings, and each time
the runner was wiped Off in a double
play.
