The real excitement happened ms
tho eighth inning when the Griffs
came to bat. They were trailing
the White Sox on the wrong end OF
6-to-4 count. Walter Johnson had
relieved Marberry with the eighth
and looked good. Urban Faber, the
veteran spitball hurler Of the Sox,
was opposing the Washington ace.
With one out Peck slammed a
single to left, a vicious grounder
that Davis could not reach. Muddy
Ruel waited around and walked.
Walter johnson poled clean single
to center, scoring Peck, and when
Spencer Harris hurled the agate
into the Chicago dugout Ruel count
ed the tying run and Walter John
son gallivanted around to third.
But stiII the winning run had
10 be checked in. So the Griffa
proceeded to get it. Faber tossed
ouf McNeeIy. but walked Bucky
Harris, who raced around to third
on Rice's single to center. That
Rice drive sent johnson over with
the run putting the Griffs In
front, and when GOslin followed
with another WalIOp TO center,
Buclxy scored. Those two runs
spelled victory.
At the last moment Bucky Har-
ris decided against sending Dutch
Ruether to the slab out OF turn
and ordered Tom Zachary to 90
something worth while. Zach had
tried and failed in one frame Lne
day before, but yesterday he looked
pretty good. He pitched six in
nings and, though on the wrong
end Of the score when he left the
cor4bat. nevertheless his work was
no. 40 bad. In six and one-third
frames he gave the White Sox nine
hits No, that isn't good, but It
is a whale of an improvement over
night. Just think how rotten he
was on Tuesday!
Ted Blankenship started for the
White Sox and, like most White
Sox starters, failed to go the route
against the champions. Faber re-
Iieved him in the seventh when ne
was beginning to show the strain.
Two doubles and pass gave the
Sox couple of runs in the first
inning which the Griffs got back
in the second on pass to Goslln,
Judges double, Bluege's sacrifice
and Ruel's single.
Barrett's double, with Schalk's
following single gave the White SoK
the lead in the fourth and they
added to il in the sixth when
KamYn doubled, Mosti1 singled and
Davis tripled, giving the visitors
two runs.
The seventh saw the passing
Of Zachary and Faber. Sheely
opened with a hit, going up on
sacrifice. MarbeTry relieved
Zach and after Spencer Harris
had popped to Bucky Harris,
Kanlm singled, scoring Sheely.
That was the last Chicago cOun-
ter and Faber has to face his
fate.
Hank SEVERED came up for Mar
berry and slapped a sweet single
to left center, Adams relieving him
on the bases. McNeely waited and
walked and Eddie Collins sum-
moned Faber from the left field
bullpen. Bucky Harris soon forced
Adams at third, but after Rice had
rolled to Davis, Faber passed Cos
lin and it looked like danger until
Judge drove a liner right at Eddie

victory went over in the next
frame and it was hot one,
Sam Rice's hitting featured the
work of the champions. The crack
outfielder collected three bingles for
himself. He scored one run and
drove in another.
Joe Judge celebrated with a two
Dagger and triple, scoring two
runs and driving over another.
Ossie Bluege, with a sacrifice |
and a single, brought two runs
over the pan.
There were several neat fielding |
bits, notably a running catch by |
Bucky Harris of a fly by Spencer
Harris In center, a clever stop by |
Judge of Falk's hopper in the fifth !
and an attempted assist by Roger
Peckinpaugh in the ninth when |
Falk bounced a single, over john
sons head with two out. Peck |
made a lightning pickup of that
dead ball and came within hair
of getting the batsman, who is no
SLOUGH, either, when it comes to
doping it out.
