H1cAGo, June 27.-shortstop
Ralph (Red) Kress carried
the greatest sorrow of his life
~ onto the ball field today as
the Nationals and White SoX broke
even in q double header. Despite the
death Of his mother. whose funeral In
Oakland, Calf, will be held too soon
for Kress to make the trip, Red stuck
by his post.
Kress' mother, who suffered heart
strokes three weeks ago and again
yesterday, passed away at l:30 am
Red. who had been worrying over his
mothers illness for weeks, was un-
decided whether to make the trip last
night, upon receiving word that Mrs
Kress had suffered a second stroke
When the second message from Oak
land broke the news of his mothers
death, Kress was advised from Cali
fornia TO remain with the team.
Teammates reported that Kress had
seemed to be worrying about something
during the entire trip. In st. Louis.
when they we're kidding him about
making four errors in two games, Kress
admitted that he had been in a
trance" Despite those errors, how
ever, Red has fielded steadily and led
the entire club at bat during the West
ern jaunt.

DEN CHAPMAN went through a

tough day at bat. He went hit
less in eight trips TO the plate, but 1t
wasn't because he was catching hold
of the ball. Chappie batted in tough
luck
Five Of his drives sent Rookie Rosen-
thai scurrying about the center field
pasture. This Rosenthal. incidentally,
is a newcomer fresh from st. Paul.
He seems to be quite a fielder.

Another Ohio State run was added
