the seventh round dropped into the
diamond the stuffed figures of man
thought to be allegorical of the re-
turn OF Lefty" Claude Williams from
the clouds His ascent early in the
combat lost the second battle OF the
series to the Reds. 4 to 2.
Still. the dummy hurting to earth
might not have been Lefty. 1t was
clad In at least s. worth OF blue
oweralls, at the prevailing price.
while williams was CARRIED in the
regulation white IL the Sox. One of
the 100 policemen present dragged
the body off the field and sent it 10
the morgue to await identification.
The return of williams from thu
clouds cheered the Sow a little and
they ntpped SKIM Sallee for a pair of
markers right away. Williams had
clipped the Reds six passes anu four
OF them counted on the four hits. aii
that the locals were able to amass
between passes. From FIRST 10 Hast the

Pat Moran had said the Sok would
ciout SaIlee plenty but would get no
runs to speak OF. Pat had the dope
IN right. 1t Ia ssailee's system to per
NIT free hitting at all hours and hold
tho opposition to ono or two ITALICS.
Twice the Sox banged into douhio
plavs and the slim southpaw had no
reason to howl at his support In the
sixth with one man on. Rousch stag
Yered to the back wall 10 haul in a
drive Felseh had intended for n
homer The bum peg of Neaie's that
counted a run would have been harm
less had the mates backed up the
play Anyway, the Sox are or the
short end by this time and the Reds
EXPECT to return here alone next Mon
day after three games AT Chicago The
woodland bards might make an extra
trim as nothing worthwhile has hap
pened thus far And yet the champ
ions from out of the West and their
boosters are hopeful that the tuck will
change and that the Sex will Ftill live

Duncan Right here Lefty made az
his mind to walk kopf He stuck the

Duncan scored.
That blow sounded the doom Of the
White Sox but II didn't cure Lefty or
the habit OF fermentation.
Ed Collins heayed Neale ont and
the unhealthy fourth round came 10
an crd II wasn't as big as Ctcotte's
pervious combat but ii satisfied the
Red boosters.
In tho NTH round Lefty refrain ed
from fermcntinE. Must have forgot =
ten to drop n raiFon into himself or
something. In the sixth he hugEled
some more. this time with pass 10
Rousch. This guy hasn't been hitting
much In the series and something had
TO be done for him. So he got the
paas and Duncan hunted him along TO
second base.
Kopf popped to weaver instead Of
busting another triple as many COM
fdently expected him to do. Greasy
Neaie lit into Lefty for single ana
Rousch Tailed the fourth and last
run.
While the teams were changing
sides the nut In the airplane dropped
the dummy into the field back OF

Al he had not been UP TO any great
extent. Gandii made mn out 10 open

Collins skied to center.
There seemed tn he orr more de-
termination left in the system of Lefty

after one was gone In the eighth.
Ronsch flied to F'elsch and Groh got
befuddled in hts mind about going
back to second While Heine was
backing and filing on tho towpath
Felsch heaved to Ed Collins and he
to Gandil and the Red captain was
pincher in double play.
The Sox continued TO siam Slim Sal
Ice until the end Gandil knocked a
single In the ninth. Risberg whacked
into a double play, Schalk pokcd
another safety ana McMullen went up
