it's over, and he paid for his
knowledge of baseball.
Coppola was caught in the hit
ting storm that ragged for day.
and carried away more expert
enced pitchers than he, in its fury
It was a day of slugging, that even
break between the Pallid Hose ana
the Griffmen. No fewer than a
hits were made. Strangely enough,
each team made 20 Safeties. Chi
cago scored II Of the 20 runs that
rolled over the plate.
The Sox had big edge In the
extra base clouting. They made
three home runs. Radcliff made q
homer in the fifth inning Of the
second game. AL Simmons snapped
out Of his hitting slump to make
five hits in the two games. Two
of the slugging Poles smacks were
home runs. One Of them, off Cop
pola in that frightful fifth inning
was clean.
But the other. Boy, oh, boy!
that other one is anatnema to
the Griffs. It came ip the seventh
inning of the first nightmare with
the bases loaded. From where
this writer sat it seemed as if the
ball was foul beyond all argument.
Says It Was Foul
Heinie Manush, who chased the
ball in an attempt to catch it, says
the hit was foul by two feet or
more. Sammy Holbrook argued so
venemently over the decision that
he was out of the game. Well,
Owens said it was fair, and it
scored four runs, tying the score.
But if that ball wasn't foul, I
know a couple Of people who will
eat it without chilli sauce.
Coppola, the expected strength
of the pitching staff, went the
way of the run of the mine. Some
how or other, baseball has a way
of confounding its students. The
first game was won despite limp
ing pitching. Eddie Linke had
swell lead all built for him but
lacked the quality to hold 1t.
Bubby Burke, who hasn't won
game in a long time, went in as a
relief pitcher, and just was in long
enough to get credit for the game.
The GriffS were a. run ahead of
the Hose. Belve Bean relieved
Burke and pitched Shutout ball
for two frames.
Carl Fischer, who stopped the
GriffS with half a dozen hits on
May Is, was knocked out of the
box in less than two innings, six
runs and seven hits being made
off him.. So you can see it was
one of those days when anything
could happen, and most Of every
thing actually happened.
Boys Came Back
The big feature Of the Gr1ffS,
SO far as the first game Is con.
cerned, is that after Owens heart
breaking decision, which was sin.
cere, however wrong, the boys
came back. Stone, batting for
Burke, singled and Heinie Manush,
raging over the verdict, doubled.
That produced the winning run.
Heinie ManuSh hit the ball bet
ter in the first game than at any
other time this year. He cracked
two doubles and a single. More
than that, AL Simmons took two
hits away from him by sparkling
catches. Heinie had no luck in
the second game, when a blow or
two might have helped. Big Babe
Phelps stopped him dead.
Capt. Buddy Meyer weighed in
with couple of hits. In fact, he
had four for the afternoon. Fred
Schultz had a good day in the
first game, smacking three hits.
The very thought Of getting back
to Chicago must have stimulated
Schultz. He lives just q short dis
lance out Of the city.
Catches Good Game
Holbrook caught a good game
and hit the ball we'll. He showed
his willingness to fight in the way

is happening all too often for the

There are some quaint tales

Schoolboy Rowe hunted with two
