WHITE SOX KEEP ON
DEFEATING YANKS
Another Instance of the New
Workers Being Unable to
Win a Close One.
MEUSEL CLEARS BASES
Home Run With the Corners
Filled-Mays Has a Bad
Inning.
ny WILLIAM u. HANNA.

A home run by Meusel with three on
bases and several fancy infield stops by
McNally We're ell the glitter there was
to the Yankees playing yesterday. The
White Sox. who seem able TO beat them
by making faces at them, or not making
faces at them, beat them once more.
The White Sox did it by 70 score.
Trust the Yanl1s to lose when It's a case
Of one club having one run margin.
Meusels home run was very welcome
and might have been very useful, but
the Yanks could do with less home runs
and more victories. Except this timely
and vigorous punch and happenings CO.
related. the attack OF the Yankees was
ut q dead stop. Our prospective cham
pions hustled but little, played in
resigned-to-fate sort OF way and did
not convince the fans that they We're
convinced of their own ability TO keep
step with the Clevelands.
The lack of ability to get one run
when they need ii was shown through
the last six innings. and, outwardly at
least, the spirit of n winning ball club
was non-existant. In the box Wilkinson
was far more successful than Mays In
keeping the hits scattered. That made
a big difference. Wilkinson pitched ex-
ceedingly well and the White Sox
played brisk and clever baseball. There
are other pennant seekers whom they'll
worry If they play against them with
the same grit and businesslille endeavor.
Yanks' Hits Wasted.
OF the ten hits off Wilkinson seven
were scattered and waste product. OF
the seven hits off Mays only one was
wasted Four were punched In one
inning and two in another.

Inning. -Four hits were made off him
In this costly round. In six OF the nine
innings the Sox culled no hits. The
faltering Yankees made hits in seven
innings out OF nine.
Falk and Sheely singled In the sec
ond. and Mays filled the bases by hit
ting Mostil on the arm. Mays stoutfy
ccntended that Mostil stuck his arm
into the ball and so told the umpire
Whatever the merit OF the claim. 1t
made no impression on Moriarty's
chilly front.

the case both men were out But the
umpire gave only Mostil out, and there
wasn't the slightest sign from the
Yankees that they differed with him.
Mays. still unsteady. passed Mulligan
and brought UP good hitter like Eddie
Collins. The appreciative Collins re-
leased a single to centre and brought In
two more.
The Yanks were strong for hitting
into forces outs and double plays. Peck
forced Miller In the third after Mays
and Miller had hit safely. Ruth was
passed and the bases filed, and Meusel
rode the first ball high into the left field
bleachers. 1t was his tenth home run
This year.
Falk opened the sixth with a three
lase hit and could have scored on
Sheeiy's fly to Miller. but went the con-
servative limit and hugged his base.
Moriarty called a ball on Mostil which
was plainly a strike. and the next one
Mays put over Mostil banged to right
and Brought In the winning run.
The SankE had fair to middling oppor-
tunities In the fourth, fifth and sixth
innings, but lost all knack OF advancing
runners. The most dismal failure In
this line was In the sixth. when. with
Ward on first and nobody out, McNally
bunted foul once. then jabbed into
double play. Schang's single, therefore.
was wasted. The defeat OF the Cleve-
lands was a crumb of comfort for the
Yankees. but they've got to do something
for themselves in this race. The score:
