sour runs and five hits in this one
nning, the most effective one being a
neek-looking southpaw.
Clcotte turned on his heel and

Yes replied Cicottc, "but not this
afternoon."
Looking at the Yanks yesterday
afternoon, one wonders how in the
name of all the inconsistencies of the
great American pastime they managed
o drop from first place and lose fifteen
ut of twenty-one games on the road,
,nless somebody spilled something into
heir tea.
Only Marker an Error
The lone run of the White Sox was
tarted on its way through an error

The Ianks evidently were inspired
" some star fielding on the part of
'eckinpaugh in the first inning. John
Collins shot what looked to be a GER
ain hit by second base. Peck glided
like tishhawk diving for it's chow,
peared the ball with one hand and
hot it over to first. 1t was about as
pectacular a piece of shortstopping as

Bumps for Cicotte
The fourth inning was in the nature
OF Waterloo or a second Battle of the
-Larne for Cicotte. Baker singled to
right and went to second on Lewis

doubtable Ping Bodie, drove hit to

centre and Bodie scored. :.
Then came Herbert Thormahlen, who
seems to have recovered entirely from
the ennui which afflicted him on the
road. The slender southpaw sliced
one to left with such vehemence that
Fewster and Hannah scored.

Danforth replaced Cicotte and Lynn
relieved Schalk. The first person to
make Danforth feel uncomfortable was
the busy j. Franklin Baker, who con-
nected for triple, the same being his
third hit for the afternoon. The ball
bounced off the right field wall.
Peckinpaugh opened the eighth with

Franklin tried for the right field stands.
He missed sending the ball the entire
route BY about half an inch. 1t bounced
back INTO the field and it went for
Bakers second two-bagger and fourth
hit for the afternoon. The head assas-
sin Of Murderers' Row had come to his
own.
Thormahlen Pitches Well
Thormahlen, who seemed 20 have
been suffering from overwork q while
back, was working like a poem yester-
day and kept the hits far apart He
got some enthusiastic help from the
felders. and there is no doubt that the
psychological effect of Peckinpaugn' 5
stop ofthe first hard .swipe by Collins
gave the southpaw hunk of confidence

afternoon.
The multitude wondered not that the
Yankees pasted Cicotte out of the box
and swamped the Sox The wonder was
how the Yanks could have slipped so
steadily while they were nutting
around through the West. Yesterday
afternoon the Yanks looked Ike

It is said that Manager Huggins has
developed some new strategy. The
midget manager has been pondering
over the dope accumulated on the dis
astrous tour and has come to the con-
clusion that it Is bad strategy to lose
three games out of ii four game series.
Hereafter he win endcavor to win three
games out Of the four instead and
watch the results.
