CHICAGO. Sept. II. - The Yankees
dropped the second game Of this highly
'rroocial" series here to-day to the
White Sox and it seems to your CORE
srcndent that they simultaneously
dropped all notion Of getting into the
coming world series. The Anal score
Of the exhibition that made the local
bugs gasp at the sheer dumbness Of
the Yanks was Chicago 6, Yankees a.
The Yanks were not hitting and the
Sox were, but that is not the entire
story. With the sort of generalship
that the Yanks were using yesterday
they might have held four aces and
lost to pair of dcuccs. If the Yanks
can recover from what happened here
to-day there will be a real baseball
miracle to talk over through the long
winter months.
But right now Squire Ebbets, Of
Flatbush, need not worry on the scale
Of prices at the Polo Grounds. There
will be nobody home at the Polo
, Grounds during the world series, just
as there was nobody home with the
Yanks to-day.
Young Herbert Thormahlen started
for the Yanks and they got four three
tbIaggeers on him before it occurred to
pul! him out Most of the triples camo
at Lank Bob Meusel, who was fielding
them in languid and leisurely fash
ion. The Yanks seemed to concede
defeat
=, BY the time Of the fourth triple in
NE third inning, the stratcgist Of the
"a TanKs decided upon the removal of
~ ormahlen, for Mays was sent out
to warm up. But Thormahlen was sent
in TO bat in his turn and struck out
The stock yards haze or something
equally soporific seemed to have over
come the team.
ne SoX pitchers were supposed TO be
az IN, yet Red Faber seemed to be
able to check the Yanks easily enough.
Collins Starts Fracas
mere were two out in the first
our young Mr.. Thormahlen until he
swallowed his chunk of eating tobacco
IN sheer amazement. Edward Trow-
bridge Collins slashed a long hit to
rlgnt neid; Lark Bob Meusel saun-
the ball broke and made a Ieisurely
throw to the infeld. On the relay
the ball bounded past Truck Hannah.
and Collins, who had pulled up at third,
came home.
Before Thormahlen had recovered
from his amazement Shoeless Joe Jack
son put another triple in the same spot.
and again Meusel went after the bali as
II he had the entire afternoon to catch
up with it. Felsch started a third
triple on its way to right and Mcusel
began to show annoyance. He seemed
to think that the Sox were trvino to
HIT him on the head with batted ball.
In the second inning Rsberg, the
soulful Swede, raped Thormahlen for
the fourth consecutive three Dagger.
He relieved the monotony of it slight
~ by crashing it to center instead of
to right field, and Mcusel seemed re-
lieved. With Schalk out, Urban Faber
rolled one past Thormahlen on the
| squeeze and Risberg scored.
In the third inning Aaron Ward
nicked Faber for the first hit, single
to right. Then Truculent Truck Han
nah lifted a Texas Lacquer over first
apd 1T rolled along for a two Dagger.
John Shane Collins made a wild throw
to the plate and both Ward and Han
nah scored.
r Shoeless Joseph Jackson started the
Sox half of the sixth with his second
triple to right field, and again Lark
Bob Meusel began to suspect the plot
to mt him in the head with a batted
ball. Felsch drew base on balls
after Mays and Hannah lost a short
argument to Hlldebrand. John Shane
lifted one to short right which Lewis
gobbled, holding the Shoeless gent on
third; Then the runs started to &C
cumulate.
Risberg, the soulful Swede, ripped
one, through the infeld to center and
jackson scored. Then Ray Schalk shot
one at Aaron Ward, who let the pill
slip between, his brogans, and as it
rol,eq merrlly into left field Felsch
and Risberg capered across the nlato
with couple of runs. N'0
Lewis started the ninth and last for
the Ianks with single to left. Ward
bounded one over to Weaver and vas
thrown out. Hannah lifted hit over
John Shanoe Collins's head and Lewis
