The recent squirt of the Bucky
Harris gang, five victories in the
last six games played has brought
out lot of enthusiasm from the
fans. 1t begins to look as though
the gang might get somewhere after
all. They are but two games behind
the third-place As right now and
only four and q, half behind the Sec
ond-place White Sox.
Lisenbee's pitching was smoothly
effective from first to last. Not a
pass did he issue and only two Wis
itors reached third and only three
got as far as second. Lizzie gloomed
his way right along like ferryboat
on rainy day and the White Sox
were handcuffed.
Red Faber, a tired veteran, came
back a bit too soon after taking a
humping In New York and was
touched up frequently through his
seven innings. Hunnefield's error
put Harris on in the first. Speakers
single advanced him to third and
Judges rap brought him over. That
was fine beginning, though modest.
The Sox tied 1t up in the fifth
when Falk tripled to the corner in
left field and rambled over while
Harris was tossing out Ward on
slow bounce behind Lisenbee.
Getting down to their task in
good earnest. the Griffs grab.
bed the lead again in their
half when, with two gone Cos
lin, Speaker and Judge ham,
mered out successive doubles,
the two former counting.
Their one run sufficed for the
Sox, but the Griffs collided again
with Faber in the seventh and
damned two more runs over the
dish on successive singles by Har-
ris, Goslin, Speaker and Judge.
Barrett ended that attack by TAX
ing Ruels short fly and doubling
up Speaker at the platter.
Bert Cole, southpaw, seen here
often as member of the Detroit
Tigers, faced the Harris gang in
the eighth and yielded another run.
Bluege opened with a single to
left, scooting to second while
Reeves was rolling to Ward. I4isen-
bee brought him over with safe
rap to right center. Again Barrett
started a double play by catching
Rice's short fly and cutting off
Lisenbee on his way back to first.
