Miles started Lyons on the way
to trouble in the first inning of yes
terday's game, called when rain
interviewed in the third inning, by
rapping a grounder that slipped
past the box for a base hit. Lewis
ripped a single to right, and Myer
scored Miles when he hit into a
double play.
There is no other way to &C.
count for runs produced in this
way, but it seems silly to credit a
man with producing a tally when
he hits into a double play.
Cecil Travis crashed a single to
right field in the second inning,
1t was one of the few solid
whacks the Georgian has made in
the last little while.
The Sox kept threatening in
the first two innings, but the de-
tense of the Griffs remained
strong. DeShong made a nice
play in the second to nail Dykes
at the plate.
Lyons took q fine pounding in
the first three innings. He was
nudged for eight hits in that
time, including triple by Stone,
but the Griffs made only three
runs.
When the rain finally arrived
it certainly didn't fool around
matters. The heavens fairly
opened, and for is minutes the
field was deluged. After the de-
LUCE ceased there was long con-
ference between the umpire,
Jimmy Dykes and Harris.
BroomS and brushes and mopS
were brought into play by the
grounds force while the umpires
attempted to look very wise.
Comiskey Park is as 1t used to
be, with the home plate moved
back Is feet farther from the
fences. You get real game of
ball out here now.
