SOX BREEZE TO
11-6 VICTORY
over MACKMEN
Little Dick Kerr Is Master OF the
LOwIy Athletes All Through
the Game.

Chicago. Aug. 19.-Without the
outside influence, Bill Gleason's
White Sox breezed away with an
other victory over the Athletics
yesterday, IL to s. Mack's \, men
made five of their six taIlies in the
last two innings after the Sox had
more runs than they could count.
All told, the Sox gathered II base
hits for a total of % bases, Chick
Gandil being leading slugger, with
a single and three doubles in four
times at bat. Chick scored three
runs and drove in another and new
er once lost his appendix while
dashing around the path.
Little Dick Kerr bent his south
paw curves over the pan through
out the contest, being master of the
enemy for seven innings, after
which extension was needless. Dick
was swatting the ball and running
the bases, too, getting a single and
a two Dagger, and once he raced
clear around the circuit when Clar-
ence Walker dropped a fly ball and
then heaved it madly away.
Two hurlers, Noyes and Kercher,
were on the rubber for the visitors,
the former getting enough of it in
two innings, when the Sox poled a
half dozen blows and scored four
times. Kercher labored for the bal
ance of the game and in the sixth
round succeeded in retiring three
men in a row. In all of the other
innings the Sox scored.
After five rounds had been fought
and the Sox were far ahead Boss
Gleason began saving his stars for
the Washington series or the New
York series or the worlds series
or something. Anyway, he let Ray
SchaIk and Buck Weaver beat it
and take bit of a rest.
SOX Pitcher in Form.
Outside of being a bit wild, Kerr
was in splendid form. The only
run the enemy got in seven rounds
was forced in with a base on balls
when two scratch singles and one
regular blow had filled the bases
with no one out.
Dick forced in one, and on the
next play a man was caught at the
plate and then Dicks mates turned
out a double play and got him out
of the hole On two other occas-
ions when wildness got him into
distressing situations, the boys put
on a double play to get him out.
Score.

Shipping Board Establishes Govern.

New York-The crimp, one of the
ugliest figures In the predatory forces

his grip on Jack when he is In Ameri.

Recent establishment by the United
States shipping board Of government

The shipping board agency, known
as the sea service bureau, aims not
only to protect seaman and ship owner
against extortiOn, but to stabilize the
supply of mariners at various ports
by shipping men to ports where most
needed, preparing their fares, and look

This service will be performed Mt

man will be charged the ship operator

The passing of the crimp Is the most
recent In number Of changes in con.
ditions affecting American sailors
when ashore that taken together con-
stitute Il complete departure from old
time standards of what was consid-
cred good enough for Jack.
Into the discard which now receives
the crimp went some years ago the

sisterhood, who welcomed Jack ashore,
