NEW YORK, Aug. 5.—(By The Associated Press.) — The Chicago White Sox, 12 games behind the pace in the American league, have not given up the pennant fight. Safely beached at third place after being buffeted about by Detroit and St. Louis in a long battle for a strong foot- hold in the first division, the team today was ready to strike CAVENY LEADS MAJOR INFIELD Eighteen Chances in One Game Taken by Cincy Star. BY JOHN B. FOSTER (Copyright 1925 The Casper Tribune) NEW YORK, Aug 5.—Short stop Caveney of the Cincinnati Natlonals rounds Into August in the lead of all big league infielders with a reo- ord of 18 chances accepted in a single inning’ game. It's a record that may be shot at for a long time before it is bettered. Bill Wambsganss, of the Boston Sox,. held the. season’s record for a time with 14 chances, Thus two old-timers have made all the crop of youngsters about whom one hears s0 much 100k rather ordi- nary. ‘There isn't a young infielder in either league, to tell, the, truth, who has done as well as 13 chances in a game. The leader of the young. er group is Wright, of Pittsburgh, whose record is but Wright isn’t pulling the stunts in fielding as fre- quently as he did.last year. With all thé speed that the Pittsburgh infleld boasts, it isn’t covering the ground with the skill shown by players of some other clubs, In part that can be attributed to superior pitching which, keeps the inflelder’s work ‘down. But there are many who are disappointed with the showing that Wright in particular has made, Af- ter his good season in 1924, he, had been picked as the National League's fielding terror of 1925. ‘The big surprise of the National is\Kelly at second base. A man sald the other day that he prefers Kelly to Frisch. That's pretty fulsome praise but inspection of Kelly's rec- ord shows the preference not with- out its basis. Vhe long-legged com- bination first and second baseman, of the Giants has accepted eleven chances twice in a nine inning game at second, ten twice, nine nine times ad eight.six times. If he has ‘a chance to play for secpnd for most ef August and September, it need occasion no surprise if he leads. the National League at second. facta ane Ra a 2 QUESTION BOX If you have some question to ask about baseball, football, box- ing or any other amateur or pro fessional sport— ’ Write to John B, Foster, baseball.

Kerr, who left the Sox three years ago, has been playing independent baseball, and is said by his friends to be ready to start work on the mound at once. His aid is sorely needed, a glance at the box score of yesterday's’ Chicago game with Philadelphia shows that. Sixteen hits were garnered off two White Sox pitchers by the Mackmen to win handily by 9 to 3 and maintain their place at the American league peak by two full garfies over Washington, The Senators kept pace with the Mackmen advance the resuit of four-hit pitching by Tom Zachary, who blanked the Detroit Tigers af- ter the second inning, rapped out a triple and scored two of his team's five runs.
