SOX COP FROM

IN SHORT GAME
PenRanG ChaSers are Forced to
Hustle But Weather Proves
He is Rest Friend.

Chicago. Aug. 18-Wfth the
weather man working hand N hand
with them, the White Sox snatched
q hasty victor from Connie Mack
Philadelphia traIlers yesterday, )
to I, in five and a half innings.
It took some tall hustlIng by
Gleason's pennant chasers to get
five innings played before a rain
storm struck the park and stopped
everything 1t also took some
hEstIing to get some runs so it
would be a victory when the rain
did come, and the weather man re-
strained the storm just long enough
to let legal game be played.
Then, to make it still better, he
kept it raining for exactly IS min
utes. This weather man must know
the rules of baseball, too. The
rules say that in case a game is
stopped by rain, the umpire5 shall
wait 80 minutes and If it still is
raining the game shall be called.
They waited 81 minutes, saw It still
was raining, and called further op-
erations of. Four minutes later
there wasn't a drop of rain coming
down and the sun seemed about to
come out
Had it been a team in the fight
for the pennant. instead of Mack's
taiIenders, doubtless it would have
been difficult matter to get four
and a half innings played, pro-
viding the Sox were leading, as in
this case. A team in the pennant
fight would have stalled, hoping the
rain would come in time to stave
OF defeat
Club Needs the Coin.
But Mack's club needs money
more than a victory, and unless
four and a half rounds were
played the gate money could not
be held
Rain checks would have been
good for any other game this sea-
son and probably not many OF the
20, 900 or so would use them to see
the Philadelphia teab. Consequent
" the Athletics were hustling to
get legal game played, so their
boss could collect his share OF the
big gate receipts.

There's a chance, albeit a slim
one, that one southpaw finger, Ar

tionai league pennant race, now in
its most critical period.
The Giants still have a fair math-
ematical chance of overhauling the
romping Reds. McGraw's weak
spot is his pitching staff Realiz-
ing this, he willingly gave up four
count 'em-players to obtain an

punch. That man is Nehf

he has been hurting for a second

When he left the Braves he had

important, he has shown that he

A friend OF mine, Historically afraid

ever she went one was sure to follow.
She did not figure on one attending
her wedding. however. She was mar
ried at home and during the ceremony
a mouse scampered across the carpet
at the feet OF the bride. AS she was
about to say YES" she screamed 90"
and, Jerking her hand from the bride
groom's, she caught up her skirts and
veil and mounted the nearest chair.
Nothing could induce her to come
down. There she remained until the
ceremony was finished and the bride
groom lifted her from her perch. I
witnessed the wedding. but, like the
rest of the guests, heard little Of the
marriage service on account Of the
laughter, which was general. The par
son gave them q certificate, so sup
pose they must be Misunderstanding.
