Stupid Work In Costly.
The second game left a bad taste in
the spectators mouths. as stupid work

Sox. The play came up in the fifth
round. and until that time but two hits
had been made of Francis, both by

Francis Bemoans Defeat.
Both Francis and Mack were with
the Seattle club last year. the latter
costing Comiskey S50.00O.> and the
former something less. Ray was par
ticularly anxious to trim his opponent
and took his downfall very much to
heart. Then, in addition. when 1t
looked. In the seventh. as If the Griffs
had a chance. substitute batters went
| in and made the usual fizzle of It.
Brewer, the first man up. got pass,
and Charity was safe on Johnson's
tumble. Peck followed with a high
fly to Johnson: Milan. batting for La
batting for Francis, hit the atmos-
phere three wicked. but ineffective
blows for the third out. This couple
has gone up to the bat so often in
pinches without result that it would
! appear that something new should be
tried-Nick Altrock. for instance.
In the second inning of the first
game, Brewer got on with one down
and came all the way home on Char
rity's single to right. which got away
from Hooper. In the third. Rice sin
gled to left with one down. cleverly
pulled the delayed steal on Robertson
and came home on Judges bingle to
right. Charity slammed out his
! mighty home-run hit in the fourth.
and the final run was scored in the
ertson. Harris getting a triple to left
as Falk fell head over heels going
after the fly. and Bucky registered on
Goslin's single.
sOx Score in Seventh.
Chicago's first run didn't materialize
until the seventh stanza, when Mos
til tripled to left center and scored
while Peck was tossing out McClel-

tripled into the same territory. and

Ray Sehalk pulled off play in the
sixth inning of the first game that ap-
reared puzzling to the spectators. as
it is a rarely for Ray to let anything
get away from him. Goslin had walk
ed and Brewer hit a high foul that
came down near the plate. Schalk ap-
pcared to be directly under the
sphere but he never touched it. Even
Schalks teammates had to grin at his
discontinue. AS Brewer followed the
life" with a single sending Goslin to
third, the mishap might have proved
costly. but Charity closed the round
with a fly to Mostil.
Manager Gleason and his players
were unusually elated over their vic
tory. Ever since the Yankees in Chi
cago saved themselves from defeat by
stalling for darkness, the breaks have
been going against the Sox with
heart-breaking regularity and the
kid" has high hopes of better times
| ahead, especially as young Mack
