Special Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, May 2O.-For the first
time this season, Carl Mays, the under
hand pitcher Of the Yankees, had to be
removed from the box during cham
pionship game. In the seventh inning
of the game against the White Sox this
afternoon Mays stepped down to allow
Ping Bodie to bat against Dickie Kerr.

KEGS were beaten by score Of to 5.
The Yankees did everything except
outluck and outscore the White Sox.
They made thirteen hits and played
errorless ball, as compared to eleven
hits and three errors for the locals.
Kerr turned back the Yankees when
hits would have meant runs and to this
he owes his victory. He had somewhat
the better of Babe Ruth, although the
big fellow did get triple in the third
inning. With the exception Of that one
occasion, Ruth did not get the ball out
of the infeld. In the fourth, with men
on second and third, Kerr walked Babe
purposely.

utilizing two hits to produce the run.

fly into short right, and when Meusel
overran the ball Shelly raced to third.

sufting. Shelly scored.
