game was cause for special rejoicing
the $4,000 rain-defying spectators.
This fellow Faber had won twenty ole
games and lost eight until Yesterday
and had taken special delight in smoth-
ering the Yanks each time he had faced
them this year. In truth the White
Sox, despite their lowly standing, have
found the Hugmen the easiest sort of
picking all season. The series between
the two teams, even including yester-
days affair, stands eight to five in IA
vor of Kid Gleason.
In addition to the venerable Thor,
the Chicago nine had still another
handicap to contend with yesterday.
When the Sox arrived in town yestcr-
day morning they found that the
shoes and other paraphernala were
resting quietly in the Back Bay sta
tion over in Boston.
Mad Scurrysng for Togo
There was mad scurrying about by
Gleason and all their handy men and
finally just before game time enough
old Yankee suits and shoes were dug
up to clothe the ball tossers Kid
Gleason was unable to get anywhere
near fit and so there was no Kid on
the coaching line during the showery
battle.
Having made all these excuses for
the White Sox it should be said right
here that Rip Collins pitched ripping
good game for our side. Only one hit
did the visitors grab and that was a
Texas Lacquer which bounced from the
bat of Falk in the second inning. The
Yankees for their part collected five
safeties from Faber, three of them be-
ing doubles.
Elmer Miller, the new outfielder OBJ
tanned from the st. Paul Club, made
his bow in Yankee regala, taking
Fewster's place in center. Miller
turned in a beautiful catch as his field
ing contribution and at the bat drew
pass and banged out single which
drove in one of the Yankee runs. So
Miller's debut was most suspicious.
The first New York run was recorded
in the third inning, Babe Ruth led off
with double to right, the ball bound
ing over Sheely's head. Baker sacri-
feed, pitcher to first, putting the Babe
on third Meusel famed for the sec
ond out and it looked rather dubious.
A peal of thunder, the harbinger of
many another, seemed to have stimu
lative effect on Wallie Pipp, the next
batter.
Father Bill Pipp Pleased
Wallie turned toward the press box
where Father Bill Pipp was sitting and
then wheeled and banged the ball over
Eddie Collins's head Eddie tried to
nab the ball and so did Mostl, who
came bounding in from center, but both
failed, Pipp getting double and Ruth
crossing the plate.
The last tally that old Thor per-
nitted to be made came to the Yanks
in the sprinkly fifth Wallie Schans
connected for a twobagger down the
attempted to sacrifice, but instead
popped a tiny fly for Ray Schalk's big
init. And here Miller, the returned
prodigal, made himself solid with all
the folks by rapping a single over
second which scored Schang.
Miller took second on the throw-ir
and continued on to third when Mostil
made a wild throw home in an en-
deavor to catch Schang. Peckinpaugh

Henry Fabian and his squadron
rushed out on the diamond with their
canvas covering and the fans and fan

A Contortionist Catch
Captain Roger Peckinpaugh spoiled
the only real chance the White Sox ha.
TO score by making one of his patente'
~ back-hand robberies. This startling
play came in the second inning. Amo
a Strunk smashed a wicked liner far t
Il the left of Peck, who by some mystcri
GUS means managed to twist himsel
around like a contortionist and snatc
