CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Although the
Yankees hit Red Faber Justify enough
to-day to make six runs they were
beaten, I to &. by the White sox. Mays.

recurring intervals, pitched poorly. and
two slios in his support were costly.
Faber gets credit for victory which
was won after he had left the game.

and the cause of lurid outburst of
kicking went to waste.
With Faber and Mays as the respec-
tive mound artisans a genuine pitching
duel was promised The Yanks opened
on Faber right vividly. Miller singled
and took third when Peck hit through
short on a hit and run play. Still, only
one run was made. Miller sifted In
while Ruth was forcing Peck. The next
two batters Baker and Meusel, hit at
bad ones and perished easily on pokes
to Sheely.
In the Chicago half Johnson stung
MAYS for a two bagger. which struck
on the right field foul line. Mays put
away Mulligan and Collins and had two
strikes on Strunk when he singled and
tied the tally.

Looked like a tough day for the fanKs.
II looked tougher when Mays walked

schang's second two bagger was more
,,saf,,l than his first. 1t was maoe IN

away from Mulligan to left field. and
Ward did good running to score,
In their half of the fourth the Sox
slammed Mays for three singles In sue
cession and Pipp dropped a throw IN.
The error and the hits again brought
the score to a tie Ward bawled Mays
out for something, but as matter Of
fact Ward did his part OF the run up
poorly. He held the ball too long. ana
pinn,s muff was excusable. Ward is no
lightning thinker in a tight place.
Faber did lot OF jawing at Wilson,
and broke out afresh when that umpire
sent Pipp TO first on four balls in the
sixth inning. Red needn't have fretted.
This was the third hitless inning Tor
the Yankees.

a facer for the Yankees. A sacrifice

Howl over Ruth's Homer.
Miller. trying to sacrifice. was out on

play. Peck singled, and then tumul-

inner left field fence. 1t looked as II Il

with alacrity and several Yankees
climbed on Ruth's unprotesting neck.
But the entire Sox team, more or less
was raving and raging Schalk did
everything but punch the umpire and
was put out of the game. Gleason tore
his hair, or the place on his head where
the hair used TO be. II looked like a
raw decision for the Sox. Meusel fol-
lowed with two bagger, and died try
ing to steal third. He beat the throw,
but overslid.
The game wasn't over by a good deal
