Whether it's because of psychol-
ogy, the law of averages, luck or
what have you, the Chicago White
Sox are playing winning ball under |
the managership Of Lena Black
burne.
Since Blackburnc took over the
reins on July 5. the day after Ray
Schalk resigned as manager, the Sox
have turned in nine victories in IL
stars. Bulking heavily in this re-
versal Of form has been the return
to effectiveness Of the pitching staff,
which on paper at least rates at or
near parity with any in the Amer
lean League.
For the second time in two play
ing days, the pale hose took over
both ends Of double header with
the Boston Red Sox, yesterday,

and Ted Blankenship were holding
the Hub team to IA hits and single
run in the two battles, the White Sox
were hammering out 30 hits off
Ruffing, Harriss and Simmons.
Johnny Mostil played sensational
ball in centerfield, sharing IL flies,
eight Of them in the second game.

The New York Yankees demon
strated conclusively that they've
recovered from their recent slump
by taking their second consecutive
double header from the Cleveland
Indians, Z to Sand 6 to 2. George
Pipgras was hit often in the first

pinches. Young Henry johnson
pitched the champions to an easy
triumph in the nightcap. Babe Ruth

registered his 18th victory of the
season in the first struggle, 3 to 2.
George Earnshaw had the second in
his pocket until the eighth inning
when the Tigers hammered him out
Of the box and slugged Rube Wal
berg and Joe Bush around until

Browns romped off with a to 2

tors. Manush's fourth hit Of the
game, double. Schulte's single, an
error and sacrifice fly gave the
Browns two runs and the game in
the tenth inning.
