In the first place, little Dickie Kerr
pitched remarkable game, and, in the
second place, the men behind were "be-
hind HIM in every sense of the word.
1t was the second victory of the series
that little Dickie has scored, and the
ultimate result of the four-game clash
is three triumphs for the other fellows
and only one win fer us. The dimnu-
tive Kerr allowed nary q hit from the
: first inning until the seventh, and that
one bingle was of the most scratchy
sort.
AS for the fielding end of the game,
Mcclellan, who is guarding the keystone
sack in place of the injured Eddie Col
Inns, was right back of little Kerr every
minute The snappy stops and throws
that Mac made from start to finish won
the approval of even the most hostile
rooters for the home nine.
1t should also be noted that this sub
Mcclellan made three hits in five times
at bat. Two OF these safeties were bunts,
and 1t was this bunting ability of the
White Sox that spoiled everything for
Bill plercy in his first start in nearly
month. Bill wasn't figuring on old Kid
Gle3son springing such stuff in Bills
young, inexperienced career. But the

runs Of the game resulted. Amos
Strunk lined out a beautiful triple to
center and crossed the plate on Sheely's
single past Baker.

fact that Aaron Ward failed to cover
first. Sehalk was hit by pitched ball
and the bases were ali populated.
DIckle Kerr hit the first Offering to left
tor single and Sheely counted. The
bases were still crowded when johnson
lined to Meusel, Mcclellan being too
afraid OF Bob's arm to attempt a score.
Mulligan famed and then Ward made
a jumping catch of Hooper's fercv
drive for the final out.
IN the third the SoX got busy again
with their bats, another run being
placed to their credit. Falk was safe
on Wards tumble, only to be forced at
second by Strunk. Sheely was nit and
Mcclellan grounded out to Pipp, both
runners advancing. Schalk toed the
scratch with q single to left which tai
lied Strunk, but Sheely was caught at
the plate by Meusels fine throw.
The gloom in the Yankee camp was
increased P hpndredFoid in the sixth,
When Plercy was pounded and bunted
oil the mound, Sheely singled to right
and then both Mcclellan and Schalk
bunted safely, filing the bases. Kerr
once more produced in the pinch, send
ing hit past Peck which scored Sheely
and Mcclellan.

some uncanny fashion and threw to

Mcclellan and saved the day for the
Sox.
Baker Pokes Out Single
In the ninth Baker opened with a
single over second, but Kerr had no
trouble with the suec-sso Of Bake"
and nothing happened.
Babe Ruth amused the assembled
populace before the game by hitting
high flies to the Yankee infelders.
'High" is not strong enough word;
it should read "higher," for those balls
almost kissed the white, fleecy clouds.
Very few Of these skyscrapers were
caught, but the Babe nabbed one Of
his own knocking right in front Of the
grandstand, and with his bare hands
at that. The multitude laughed long
and loudly as the Babe fell backward,
but elinging to the ball.
Kerr was in considerable difficulty in
the first inning but escaped unscathed.
Roth, the first batter. hit a Texas
D, Lacquer double over second, but Peck
flied to Falk and Ruth famed after
