YANKEES STOP SOX

Slams for Circuit.
BY WILLIAM II. HANNA.


Special Despatch to THE NEW YORK HERALD
CHICAGO, July 1.-The savage White
Sox were stopped dead by the Yankees
to-day. After week Of travail they beat
and shut out their annoyers by score
of 4 to 0. The Gleason outfit tried to
clean up their series by assigning Dick
Kerr to the slab. but home runs by Bob
Meusel and Babe Ruth knocked these
calculations all to bits.
The homer Ruth hit was his thirty
second. and his first in Chicago this
year. He now has hit one In every city
of the circuit. Each homer to-day was
made with a man on base.
The Yankees were helpless before
Kerr up to that time. but the Sox were
helpless before Warren Collins all the
time. The Texan pitched game or the
highest grade Of excellence. He had
beauty of a curve---a speedy one with q
snappy break--and he used change OF
pace with effect. He hurt MS ringer
