White Sox toward third straight city

veteran Ted Lyons could, by win

Lon Warneke, Cub ace, was one

knocked out in the sixth, and Roy
Henshaw and Clay Bryant. who fol-
lowed him on the hill, had little more
luck against the South Side clouters.
Luke Appling led the Sox attack
with three hits in five trips and drove
in three runs. The Cubs collected 10
hits of Monte Stratton but he was
effective in the pinches.
