ELBERFELD WINS FOR HIGHLANDERS
After Permitting Sox to Tally on Wild Throw, He Scores Two Men by a Three Base Hit
Chicago Bats and Fields the Better.
Special Dispatch to The Inter Ocean.
NEW YORK, Aug. 11.—Although they out-batted and outfielded the Highlanders in this afternoon's contest at American League park, the Chicago White Sox went down to defeat by the score of 2 to 1. It was a mighty hard game for Dr. White to lose, for he held the Griffith clan down to three hits, but as often happens in the uncertainty of baseball, these three measly hits were sufficient to win.
To make it worse, the trouble all happened after two men had been retired. Then a single, a base on balls, and a slashing triple put two runs across the plate. and these were ample to beat the Comiskey men, for after the sixth inning, in which the catastrophe occurred. the White Sox landed on the horsehide but once and that in the final round.
Error Scores Sox Run.
It was a most peculiar game. Al Orth. the man with the smile, was there with his tantalizing grin, and although the Sox gathered five safeties, they could not connect them, and they would have been frozen out if Elberfeld had not felt strong armed and tried to knock the bleachers down with a throw following an easy pick-up of Green's slow grounder In the third, on which the runner toured the bags. The White Sox did not make an error, while the Highlanders indulged in two—both by Elberfeld—who eventually won the game for his side.
Consecutive hitting was lacking and down went the Comiskeyites. Doc White distinguished himself by striking out three times. Four Sox were left on bases. Green and Manager Jones let an easy fly fall between them in the third. Sullivan made the Highlanders look sick when they tried to steal bases. These were the features of the game for Chicago.
The Sox gathered in their only tally in the third inning, when after Dundon had been thrown out at first by Elberfeld and White had ripped the air three times, Green hit an easy bounder straight into the Kid's hands and made the circuit of the bases when the ball sailed high over Chase's head into the bleachers. That ended the Sox's scoring. as Orth slid them over the plate In such a mysterious manner that there was positively nothing doing from a Chicago viewpoint.
Elberfeld Wins the Game
In the sixth Inning the Highlanders landed consecutively and.won the game. After McGuire and Orth had been disposed of, Dougherty singled and Keeler received a pass to first. Then Kid Elberfeld slammed a liner against the scoreboard in left field and Dougherty and Keeler tallied. The Kid tried to make a homer out of the hit and was nipped at the plate. Callahan to Tannehill to Sullivan. This settled the game, although nine Innings were played.
