 Newcomer Shows Glass
 But Cross mound work was little better than that afforded the White SoX by Dean, u newcomer in local semi professional circles. Two earned runs were scored off Dean and one of these was the result of q misjudged fly ball in the ninth frame, which went for two bases when it should have been converted into an easy out.
 Nine hits were scored against Dean'sI offerings-thanks to q liberal scorer. Only four of these hits were really legitimate belts, Nickels' two base drive in the ninth being a tall fly d credited with three hits in as many times at bat, but two of em were of the decidedly mushy order. His first hit came when WestfaH, Iyau and Dean pulled the Alfonso -(iaston act on high fly midway between the pitch CTS box and first base, it finally drop ping safe between the trio. His second was hard smash through the box which Dean knocked down but couldn't handle in time for a play. Two other hits, Faye's infield tap in the fourth and Hubbard's slow roller 10 Giileland in the eighth, were both flukcs Dean retired 10 men on strikes

But two errors were charged against the Sox, yet they combined both of these in the fourth inning to give the Oilers an unearned run. Then in the ninth. with one out ana , q man on first, Nickels sent a long, high fly to right. HaIdiman badly misjudged the ball and it went Tor two-base drive, Thomas scoring Had haldinan captured the ball Ihomas would easily have been doupled orr first. as he was nearing third when the ball dropped safe.
