Nothing much happened in the first game. The contest was as dry as an officer in uniform, Bob Groom, who has been tossing the old pill since Columbus first came over in the Mayflower, made the Yanks look dumber than « sailor on horseback, Bob has @ century plant on his family estate, and Dame Rumor has it that Bob has seen it bloom‘ twice, Bob must have found what De Soto wae looking for, Most of the Yanks’ hits were of the exsema kind. Four of the five were very scratchy, The Yanks won the second game, Winning doesn’t do the Yanks any good.

The White Sox got a toe hold on the lead by busting the Red Sox again, but they would have to be a centipede to get enough toca on to hold it. They are only a piano’s throw in front now, The feature of the twin games at the Polo Grounds was the pitohing of two of the oldest pitchers in the tournament—Plank and Groom.
