In a twinbill that will resonate for years, the White Sox sweep a pair, to give them 4 wins in the last two days, from the Tigers.

In a twinbill that will resonate for years, the White Sox sweep a pair, to give them 4 wins in the last two days, from the Tigers winning, 7 – 5 and 11 – 8, while the Yankees sweep a pair from the Red Sox. Chicago now leads the Red Sox by 6 1/2 games. Detroit takes the lead in the morning game, driving Red Faber from the mound in the 5th, but Ray Schalk’s triple in the 8th seals the win for Chicago. In the afternoon contest, Detroit again chases Faber and scores seven runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings to take the lead, but Schalk’s three-run homer in the 4th, off Bill James, puts Chicago in a lead they never relinquish. Ed Cicotte takes the p.m. game with six innings of relief, while Lefty Williamspitches three innings of hitless relief to win the a.m. game. The Sox run wild on the bases, stealing seven bases against Oscar Stanage in the opener and five against Archie Yelle in the second game. Two weeks from now, while staying at the Ansonia Hotel in New York, the White Sox will collect $45 from each player as a gift for the Tigers, allegedly as a thank you for beating the Red Sox. But suspicion will linger that some Tigers threw these two critical doubleheaders and Ty Cobb, though he had three hits, will be included in the accusations.
