SIXTH FOR R0MMEL
AS AS WIN AGAIN
Victory Puts Mackmen In Tie
Tor Third Place With Tigers.
Bing Miller Stars
yANKS FINALLY WIN ONE

II Handsome Eddie went to the rescue
,..,er,lay when his pal Bryan Var
,ason hurt his pitching hand and re-
s.ved credit for winning the Mack
r.n's third straight victory in as many
,,sying days. 1t was Baltimore Eddic's
rs,xth victory Of the season. One defeat
,msrs his record. but that is excusable
after his great comeback.
Charley Robertson. Of the perfect
.,me fame. asked Kid Gleason to give
h,r chance against the Mackmen.
.hout whom he had heard as the in
h.bitants Of last place for so many
years. Charley got his wish, but he
v,.bed he hadn't got It. He started
ant all right and went along SWIM
minely for four innings with a 4-to.1
lead.
Then something happened. The Ath-
i.tics, as is customary in these days,
A. D. 1922. started the usual after
moon fusillade and drove Robertson off
ne tee to the solace of the showers.
Vhe wac u ivy w lut
fans, who expected the winning streak
70 be blasted the way Robertson was
hurlinp and the manner in which the
White Sox were getting to Bryan Har-
Harris was invited by Mack to sit
on the bench and watch the remainder
Of the game from vantage point. Var
rison, whose front monickcr is the same
a the slim persons. took the mound in
thc fourth. With the Sox in tho lead
Harrison did some exceptional hurling
until the seventh. when he hurt his
twirlng digits and had TO icave the
premises. Two runs came across in that
round, one off Harrison and the other
on Romme.
That knottcd the figures and caused
considerable muttering on the Mack
ian bench at the last half Of the eighth.
Resut-three large runs that put the
zane on the proverbial ice and made
Il three straight.
Miller Once Again
Bling" Miller. as usual. was one Of
the stars. All "Bingo" did in the nine
frames was 10 hit triple, two singles
and score two runs. On the defense he
was a tower of strength, making a per-
feet throw to the plate that set a SOx
player back a peg. and caught three flies
IN his spacious garden Of the sensational
variety.
The victory put the Mackmcn in third
pacc-that is in this city. In Detroit
the makers Of the standings have the
Tigers in third and the As in fourth.
The right way is 4 tie. The Macklcts
have fourteen victories and the same
Number of dcfents. and the Tigers have
fifteen Of one ana an equn number of
Che other.
1t must not be forgotten that yester.
DAY did nok pass without the usual
sox star. and McCielIand each soaked
one of the costly pellets into spaces
where feeders are unable to roam. SO
iar rs homcrs were concerned the Ath.
letcs were impotent yesterday.
The Phllics spent Yesterday packing
up for Cincinnati. where they open Il
-FOUR game series this afternoon with
Pat Mopan's Reds. "Goldie" .Rapp
was visited by his teammates. and they
went away with tho good news that he
would be able to leave the Mound CITY
IN few days for Philadelphia. where,
alter week or two, he would be seen in
action
Hoyt Stops Indians
The Ianks. with Waite Hoyt turning
N one of his really good games. broke
their losing streak yesterday at the
expense Of the Indians. The youthful
star gave the Spokemen a coat of white
wash and allowed five hits scattered
through the nine rounds. Stanny COya.
