Sox are morning glories should
ask the Red Sox.
Boston stormed into Chicago
last Sunday, bent on bursting Chi
|cago's bubble and putting the up
starts in their places. Hadn't the
Red Sox just won II Of their last

to use the White Sox as a stepping
stone to first place?

creased when they won the opener
of five-game series. Then came
disaster. The White Sox beat them
four in a row.

over the power packed preseason
flag favorites marked the sixth
time Chicago has whipped Boston
in seven games this season. The
victory kept intact the White Sox'
3h-game lead over New York,
conqueror Of Cleveland yesterday.
