Once upon time Il was GUS
tomary TO designate the pallld Sox as
the hitlees wonders. Yesterday they
were well nigh hitless, but there was
nothing wonderful about them. Shaw
key pitched the classic OF his career,
when he held the Chicago league leaders
to one pesky hit and blanked the Glea-
son outfit in the third game of the set

Only thirty Sox faced Shawkey; he
walked two men and Schalk got on via
Pecks tumble. Hap Felsch who walked
and stole second in the second frame,
was the only Windy City athlete TO hold
communication with Del Pratt during
the afternoon. 1t was Shawkey's nth
straight victory.
Murderers' row still was dustin EN-
yesterday. Urban Faber, the Same busy
worker who threw three harpoons into
the Giants in the 1917 worlds SERIES was
given a terrible pasting while he re-
mained on the hill. In the three ana a

totalling thirteen bases. They had to
do some Dodger base running to restrain
themselves to four runs.

Despite the cold. threatening weather,
the Yank-White Sox muss enticed a
$4,000 crowd to the Polo Grounds, which
was very good under the circumstances.
Yankees Retain Third Place.
As the Indians jumped out to Cleve-
land to beat the Athletics in their own
back yard the Yanks still are third, but
only twenty-five points separate the first
three teams. The White Sox now are
receding as fast as they advanced a few
weeks ago. They lost six of their last
seven games, and Kid Gleason may re-
sort to the razor strop instead OF preach
ink harmony.
Tho second inning was painful to the
Loyal Legion of Fans The Yanks filed
'em up with one out on singles by Lewis
and Pratt and Bodies pass. but nothing
happened.
Better luck in the third! With one
out, Peck sent a single down his IA
vorite alley, between third base and the
third baseman. Baker took q healthy
swing and lined the ball into the right
field stand for his first homer In Har-
lem in 1919, Peck riding in ahead OF
him.
