CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-While 25, 900 fans
from army, navy and civilian life cheered
until their throat strings were frayed
the Chicago White Sox defeated the
Yankees at Comiskey Park this after
noon. The score was 10 to 2.
Chicago looked like champions in every
move. They placed mortgage on the
game by scoring four runs in the first
frame, utilizing three hits. a pass and
an error. Fast base running counted
materially in propagating those tallies
and a rally in the fifth aided the cause.
Speed and more speed is the order of
the day with the White Sox, and the
hand of time pressed but lightly on the
shoulders of Buck Weaver and Eddie
Collins. These men hold the key posi-
lions and add a stability to the defence
that requires resistless attack to break
through. Schalk and Felsch round out
a remarkable board of strategy.
Veterans Of the Fifth ad Sixth regi-
ments of the United States Marines, to
whom Chicago flung open its doors to-
day, were the guests of the White Sox
They numbered about $500 of the daunt-
less young Americans who bore the brunt
of the German attack at Belleau Wood
and they added distinction to the gala
half holiday crowd.
There were glittering Distinguished Ser
vice Crosses. Croix de Guerre in profusion,
and here and there the Congressional
Medal In the crowd were also those
who wore the badge of honor that
brought a shudder to all Americans
boys in the first flush of youth whose
empty sleeves and Tapping trouser legs
told their own tale.
Incidentally the marines hailed their
old mess mate-Eddie Collins.
Before the game squad OF Boots"
raded the White SoX's berch and took
Collins captive, placing him high on their
shoulders. Collins demonstrated for
while, but in the end surrendered. His
reception was soul warming
Collins, incidentally, played his best
ball amid the cheers of the Devil Dogs"
He raped out hits on his first two trips
to the plate and in the third frame took
a hit away from Sammy Wick by TAX
ing the Yankee fielder's rap that was de-
fected of Ccotte's glove and converting
1t into force play on Shawkey.
FIoored in First.
The Yankees were fioored in the first
round, and were bounced around at in
tervals; but they proved that though n
man may be down he is never out. In
the seventh frame Cicotte pitched a fast
ball to Pipp. and "Walloping Wallie" hit
It over the right field wall. After Pratt was
retired Lewis cut at a ball that pleased
him and home run to left field was the
result. In the main, however, the hit
ting was desultory and scoring was re-
duced TO a minimum.
Eddie Cicotte had the easiest sort OF
a time IN winning his twenty-fourth VIC
tory The Yankees, save in their spas
modic effort in the seventh, were awed
by his delivery. The unusual feature OF
Cicotte's work was that he shot fast ball
after fast hall at team famed for it's
ability to clout Just that sort of pitching.
Yet six hits were their limit of clouting
Following the circuit drives OF Pipp and
Lewis was a triple by Pratt: but fast
play, Felsch to Risberg, got Pratt at the
plate.
Shawkey was mauled for Ave innings
The Sox hit Bob the Cob for eight
runs and ten hits When he stepped
down Lefty ODoul. the Pacific coast
star. entered the mound He was
touched for two runs and four hits.
Every man on the White Sox team ex-
cept Leibold, Felsch and Cicotte got at
least one safe rap home, and jackson
got three, including a double. Three
hits by Collins, Jackson and Gandu
scored four runs in the first inning. And
then the melee really got under way.
The score:
