8b soon as possible.
For the information OF those wish
ing to know. 1t. may be said here and
now that the bathing beach alligator
DID NOT bite Ellerbe.
Judging from the first clash with
the White Sox, the Griffs are still
slumbering. Maybe it's the hot
weather Maybe it's the lack OF cold
beer with a number of the young men,
This near-beer is punk stun for the
toiling athlete. Anyway. while the
Sox were winning, 8 to 3, the Grirfs
were apparently content to drill
along, tying the count twice and then
fading away as a real competitor.
ROTH TAKES A sNOOZE. :
Bobby. Roth was guilty OF two
Iapses. In the eighth Eddie Cicotte
pushed a meager bingle into Roth's
territory. The Griffman took his
time. So did Ciootte. Fast fielding
might have cut off the Sox finger,
but he landed in safety and later tai
lied on Eddie Collins blow and sac
Yifice hy from Weaver's bat. That
run put the visitors in front.
In the last half of the eighth Roth
opened up with his second bingle,
sharp drive to center. He went up
on a sacrifice by Harris. When Hank
Shanks shot a whistling liner to CEN
ter, Roth put his head|down and dug
for third. He may have planned to
go all the way home. AS 1t was,
Happy Felsch came in, got that drive
and doubled up the wiid-running
Roth with hollow ease.
Despite the coming Of the league
titleholders, the crowd was slim, the
slimest in many days. and this seemed
to have a deadening effect upon the
home boys. They've become accus-
toned to wildly cheering bugs be-
hind them. They went through their
PAGES as though practicing for
game Maybe that's the game book
ed for today.
ZACHARY IS BUMPED.
Jezebel Tecumseh Zachary looked
all right out there on the hill, but
whenever they really needed runs, the
champs went out and got them. which
is the best test. after all.
Eddie Cicotte permitted many
bingles, but he frightened when he
had to and managed to stave off the
opposition. In all that he does CT
cote looks the first class finger he
is. Game as a pebble, graceful as can
be. he holds his own on the rubber
like a major general. ,,
The Sox got a run in the first on a
couple OF doubles. Liebold's rappped
the right field wall, but after Eddie
Collins whitfield, the midget was run
down on Weaver's poke to the pitch
er. Weaver went up to second during
that play and scored when Joe Jack
son doubled to center.
The Griffs tied it UP in the sixth
on Judges infield hit, Milan's sacri-
flee. Rice's infieId hit and Roth's hard
wallop to center.
WHITE SOX IN FRONT.
The Sox went ahead in the seventh
when they scored couple of runs on
Jackson's fluke double to left,
welsch's scratch blow past Ellerbe,
John Collins walk and a real smite
by Risberg.
Showing sudden signs of life the
Criffs came in for their half and tied
Il up again. Ellerbe ripped certain
double to left, but pulled UP at first
with a bad dog and had to let Shan
non run for him. The, next two
died, but Judge got on through John
Collins error. Milan singled to right
in the pinch. scoring Shannon and
putting Judge o third. The latter
was awake and when he saw Jackson
manhandle the ball he galloped over
with the tying run. That was snappy
stun for Judge.
PreIy Griffith had three Fingers in
right field, all swinging their arms,
but he sent Zachary right back
and Zach got his. Cicotte sin
gled, went to third on Eddie Collins
hit, and scored on a fly in the eighth.
Felsch scored the final run on a dou-
BILE, followed by singles by John Col
Inns and Ray Schalk.
