as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Baltimore Orioles by the score of 8 to
1 at South Side Park.

Chicago jumped out to the early lead in the first inning with 2 runs on 3
hits. After an out was recorded, Fielder Jones began the rally when he drew
a walk. Sam Mertes came next and he stroked a single. Isbell then stroked a
one-base hit scoring a run. Fred Hartman got his chance to keep things
going, but he went down on strikes. Frank Shugart stepped into the box and
laced a base-knock to load the bases. Herm McFarland kept things alive and
reached on an error scoring the final run of the inning. That was all the
offense they were to need. Offensively, Chicago was a juggernaut. They
scored in 6 separate innings.

It was an exciting day game in South Side Park where the Baltimore Orioles

affair.

Baltimore scored 4 runs in the 7th inning. The crucial at-bat was provided by
Frank Foutz who quieted the home crowd when he emptied the bases with a Grand
Slam homerun (his 2nd of the season). The Baltimore offense man-handled the
Chicago pitching staff as they scored in 7 of the 9 innings.

Jack Dunn(2-1) went 8 and 1/3 innings allowing 10 runs for the victory. Bill
Karns got the save, his 1st. Roy Patterson(2-4) was the losing pitcher. His
ERA increased from 4.56 to 5.00 as he allowed 10 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings.

Washington Senators by a score of 9 to 0.

Miller(4-1) came through with a virtuoso performance against the Washington
hitters. He surrendered only 4 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings lowering his ERA
to 2.20. Detroit finished with 12 hits in the victory.

Bill Carrick(2-4) took the loss. He allowed 12 hits and 6 walks in 8 innings.

Wid Conroy blasted 2 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Tully Sparks tossed a complete

game at Lloyd Street Grounds as the Milwaukee Brewers belted the PHILADELPHIA

ATHLETICS by the count of 12 to 2.



Conroy provided much of the offense. He cracked a solo homerun in the 6th

inning, lashed a single bringing in two baserunners in the 6th inning and

lofted a solo-blast 'downtown' (his 3rd of the season) in the 8th inning.

Milwaukee rapped out 17 hits for the afternoon.



Sparks(2-1) lasted until the end allowing 2 runs for the win. The losing

pitcher was Eddie Plank(1-1). He allowed a few too many baserunners giving

up 14 hits and 2 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.



With this win, Milwaukee has a 9-17 record. They have been 5-5 lately.

PHILADELPHIA has a record of 12-13 after the loss.

Bill Bernhard had great stuff on the mound today as he held the Brewers to only five hits in the 2-1 Athletics win. Bernhard helped himself at the plate as well, driving in a run in the Philadelphia 4th inning. That run would end up being the deciding factor when the Brewers pushed one across in the home 4th. Philadelphia is back to .500 at 12-12 while the Brewers have sunk to 8-17.

Shugart drives in three in ChiSox win

Frank Shugart (pictured) drove in the go ahead run twice, and the last time provided the winning margin. Shugart roped a 2-run single in the 3rd that gave the Sox a 3-1 lead.

Blues hope O'Brien provides an outfield answer
The Cleveland Blues signed Jack O'Brien, late of the Washington ballclub, to a contract today. O'Brien hit .286 with 11 runs batted in while with the Senators, and the Blues are hoping he will assist their production in the outfield. O'Brien, a 28-year old native of Watervliet, New York will also provide a much needed left handed bat. He's expected to replace Frank Genins, as Genins has struggled along hitting a mere .208 this season.
