YANKS DETAIN
SOX 4 DAY IN
PENNANT RUN
Higgins Men Light on Erskine
Mayer in Fourth Round and
Pound in Six Marks.

New York, Sept 19-The pesky
Yanks delayed the denouement of
the American league pennant chase
by at least "a hours yesterday by
coping the final game the White
SOx have to play on the historic
Polo grounds, by a score of 6 to 4.
That, in conjunction with what hap
pened in Quakertown, leaves Chi
cago a margin of six and a half
gains with eight to play.
Higgins men lit on Erskine
Mayer for all six of their tallies in
the third round and gave him an
early admission to the shower bath,
leaving the slab work to Lowder-
milk and Wilkinson. The old and
the young bean poles delivered the
goods and kept the Yanks from
scoring any more, but the Gleasons
could not pull the scrap out of the
fire.
Mays Works Against SOx.
Carl Mays, head mangIer of the
American leagues laundry for
dirty linen, worked against the
White Sox and, although he was
hit hard, was able to hold them to
four runs with the aid of good sup
port and he contributed three hits
to his own vindication, one of them
being a double which started the
deluge against Mayer in the third
inning.
The Gleasons started out as if
they were going to wreck the boss
of the league laundry. Aided by a
cross between a hit and an error,
they scored two runs in the first
inning. Mayer stopped the Yanks
flatfooted for two rounds then the
bing-bang stuff started and eleven
men faced him before he could re-
tire the side in the third
Lowdermilk hurled two rounds
successfully, then had to give way
to a pinch hitter with the bases full
in the sixth, and gave Wilkinson a
chance to show what he could do
in the last three innings against
the Yanks. The youngster improv-
ed the good impression he made
against the Athletics the first time
