NEW HURLER MAKES
SUCCESSFUL DEBU 7
III SINGER UNIFORM
Bill Mack, Former Federal
League Star, Defeats Fa-
nous Chicago Creys.

A somewhat rangy twirler with an
old head and a good right arm which
served up a puzzling assortment OF
twlsters that kept the Chicago Grey
Ia tiers well IN check during eight
OF the nine innings, and hitless dur
ing the first FIVE, enabled the Singer
baseball team 20 take the long end
of an 20 8 game al the local dla-
mond Saturday afternoon. Bill
Mack. former star on the Buffalo
Federal league team, - the bOXman
who did the yeOman work in his
initial appearance IN a local uniform.
Mack 1oiled In supers fashion until
the last inning. when he eased up
little and the Greys secured three
runs by collecting four well placed
suats. three OF which were extra
space blows. two being triples and
the other double. With no one
out and three tallies accounted for
Bill promptly began TO bear down

had started a rally which would
Arc "HItless wonders"
Although Mack twirled an effect

tanning six, II was the scoring power
OF the local crew which always has
shown such marked ability in get
ting runs across the plate in a man
ner similar TO that OF the White Sox
years back when they were called
the "h1tless wonders" that was the
biggest factor IN ohaIking up yester-
days victory on the right side OF the
ledger. The local machine never
showed TO better advantage In It's
scoring power than yesterday. Eight
runs were made on but seven hits
SIX bases on balls and seven hobbies

The sixth was an uneventful IN
ming for both teams except that A.
White got the first hit of Mack, a
single over second but he had no
chance TO score.
The Greys came &c life in the sew
enth and got a pair through three
singles and three stolen bases. Three
errors. combined with two bases on
balls and a hit batter. enabled the
machine makers TO add four more
IN their half OF the lucky inning. An
error. Moffett's double and Touhey'f
single brought IN the two final tai
lies for the locals In the eighth.
The Greys had their ninth-inninl
rally nipped after they had scored
three.
