CHICAGO, Aug. 24.-Kid Gleason played
his second ace against the Yankees al
comiskey Park here this afternoon. and
another notch was cut in the White SoS
victory stick. The portsided Claude
Williams followed the trail blazed by
Eddie cicotte yesterday and set the
Yankees back by score of 4 to /. Two
Of the runs Of the Sox were plastered all
over with luck, and one OF the rarest
decisions that ever was witnessed In
baseball gave them another.
Umpire Hildebrand in the sixth In
ming changed his mind, reversing q de-
clslon on Jackson and declaring him
safe at the plate, although Just a second
previously he had ruled Joe out on a
wide play. The errors of omission OF
Fling Bodie allowed couple of more
tsllles to go over the plate, and so the
game was lost.
It was rather rough on Jack Quinn
10 have the breaks go against him the
way they did. The big miner went al
the Sox and gave them quite q battle,
Jack was in good form, and deserved a
letter fate. But the Yankees had little
luck, and so they lost. Quinn limited
the Sox to seven hits, and only four OF
these were real hits. Good outfielding
would have turned Jackson's double in
the first frame into an out. fast work
would have shifted out the triple by
Collins, and Felschs tap was gift from
q rough diamond.
Timely Hits Missing.
During the first five innings the Yanks
had chances to cut through the defence Of
fered by Williams. The Sox hurler was
yobbly. and a real, determined rally
would have sent him to the club house
But no determined rallies were forthcom-
Ing. Felsch and Weaver. Risberg and
Collins saw TO that in fine style. With
those boys rowing the diamond and Ray
Schalk directing the play from behind the
plate there was little chance OF the
Yankees accomplishing anything worth
while.
1t is no wonder five Sox pitchers can
weather anything but a batting ava
ianche. No ordinary rally is sufficient
Collins made two phenomenal plays
which cut down hits One of these was
of the bat Of Frank Baker. the other
from Duffy Lewis. Felsch snatched a
triple out of the air on Bodie after run
ming a mile, more or less.

defence 1t was a tactical error that per-
mitted the Yankees to score. In the
third frame Wick singled to centre field
Peck sent liner whizzing to deep short
which Swede Risberg caught on a high
leap. Without waiting to set himself
Rlsberg cut loose a perfect throw to first

ball. Baker then hit to right, sending
Wick TO third. Pipp was out. and Wick

the sixth Hildebrand called jackson safe

Fast defensive play on drive by Ed

turned what resulted in a triple into
an out. Bodie lust touched the ball, but
failed to hold 1t, and a fly by Felsch
scored the second sacker. The score:
