YANKEES DEFEATED
3 Toby WHITE SOX
Ruth Draws Three Passes. One
of Which Blossoms Into
a Run.

Special Dispatch 10 THE New YORK HERALD.
CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 31.-Again to-day
the Yankees lacked one run of the total
compiled by the always troublesome
White Sox and suffered their second
consecutive defeat at the hands of the
knights Of the pallid hose in consequence.
The score this time was to 2, the White
Sox scoring all their runs after two
were out in the sixth inning.
In the first Ave innings Battling Bob
Shawkey let the enemy down with one hit
and two passes one of which was can
celed by double play in the succeeding
inning. but after Robertson and Johnson
had been retired In the sixth the former
COB slipped his moorings and triples by
Mulligan and Strunk were tastefully
draped around-a brace of singles by
Eddie Collins and Harry Hooper. Three
runs resulted and to all intents and
purposes the game ended right there.
No hit Charley Robertson started for
the Sox and staggered through the first
seven innings with only one run scored
against him. The Yanks made only four
hits off him during this period of the
game, but he was horribly wild at times
and the Yanks had one or more runners
on base with none out in every inning
except the fifth and seventh.
In the eighth, however, the Yankees
broke through again and Robertson gave
way to Leverette with all the bases
filed, two out and the Yankees needing
only one run to tie. Leverette was equal
to the occasion and retired pinch hitter
Frank Baker for the third out.
Ruth Minus Hits
Wallie Pipp, who has cast all restraint
aside In a prolonged orgy of swat,
weighed In with three hits to-day, and
Aaron Ward made two. The only other
hit recorded by the Yanks was made by
Joe Dugan in the second, Bobbie Meusel
and Wallie Scnang being utterly unable
to solve Rohertson's delivery. Ruth
made no hits hut drew three passes, one
of which blossomed into run.
The Yanks had scoring chances In
each of the first three innings. but
realized on only one of them. Witt
led off with pass in the opening round
and skidded around to third on Dugan's
single to center, scoring moment later
on Meusers stab to Johnson for force
out at second Ruth also walked. but
Meusel was nipped in an unsuccessful
attempt to steal third and Robertson
ended the inning by tanning Wailie
Schang.
Pipp was the first man up in the
second and singled to center. advanc-
ing to second on a similar hit by Ward.
Scott sent the runners along with a
well piled sacrifice. but Shawkey famed
and Wits roller to Collins retired the
side. In the third Joe Dugan drew a
pass, but was forced at second by
Meusel. Ruth and Schang followed
with easy taps to Collins. and the lanky
Californian was left on the lines.
Again in the fourth the Yankee lead
off man got on. Pipp coming through
with another line single to center. Ward
bunted fould on a third strike. how
ever and was out under the rules. and
neither of the next two hitters could
advance the Michigan mauler.
Up to this time only one Chicago
runner had reached first base and
Strunk drew a pass with one out
in the second, which was promptly
nullified by a double play on the sue
ceedng batter's grounder to Everett
Scott. After that the Sox went out in
order until, with two out In the fifth,
Falk scratched a single over second
for the first hit off Shawkey. Shcely.
the next man up. drew pass, but
Ward got in front of Schslk's easy
roller and tossed the Sox catcher out
at first.
