1917 – The first-place White Sox take a pair from the Tigers, winning, 7 – 2 and 6 – 5. The Sox bunch four in the 1st and three more in the 3rd to make the shine ball’s leading proponent, Ed Cicotte, a winner over Willie Mitchell. In the nitecap, the Sox snap a tie in the 9th when Eddie Collins, with one stolen base already, swipes second and third base after a walk. Joe Jackson’s sac fly brings him home.
