CHISOX SHOW j ADDED FIGHT New York. Sept. 14. —(U.P.) —The ; Chicago Sox may have been a keen disappointment to owner Charles I A. Comiskey this season, but the ' fight displayed by the Chicagoans ■ during the past week-end has made them a favorite to take fifth place I in the American league race the i highest berth won by a White Sox team since the “Black Sax” scan dal of 1919. Red Faber’s relief pitching gave | Chicago a 6 to a victory in the first game of yesterday'3 doubleheader. Faber entered the game after the I Red Sox had pounded Bowler for j four runs to tie the score in the ! third, and held Boston in,check tin-1 til his mates shoved over the win-' ning run in the eighth. Boston led in the second game until Chicago i tied the count at two-all in the Bth and neither team was able to score before the game called after 14 in-; nings. New York's Yankees, who played ’ 23 innings against Chicago Satur- i day. went 21 innings yesterday in defeating Detroit. 2 to 1 and 4 to 3. i Tony Lazzeri's theft of home in the I twelfth inning decided the opening game and Lou Gehrig's sixth in-' ning home with a mate on base pro- j vided the winning runs in the night-, tap. Washington defeated Cleveland, i 7 to 1. in the only other scheduled ( seventh straight victory and his sixteenth of the season, and contributed three singles to Washington's 15-hit attack. St. Louis increased its National league lead to nine games, beating Philadelphia. 6 to 2 and 7 to 2 behind the brilliant pitching of Paul Derringer and Bill Hallahan. Derringer allowed only six hits. The New York Giants divided a ' double header with Cincinnati. Larry Benton shaded Bill Walker in a hurling duel to give Cincinnati I the first game, 1 to 0, but New York scored an easy 9 to 4 triumph ! in the second. Brilliant individual achievements I by Rogers Hornsby and Guy Bash | gave Chicago a double victory over Boston. 11 to 7 and 8 to 1. Hornsby's 11th inning homer with the | bases loaded and two out decided. the first contest and Bush's one-hit; pitching—his second one-hit game j of the year—gave CTucago the second tilt. Brooklyn won a see-saw game from Pittsburgh. 6 to 5, with Glenn I Wrieht’s double climaxing a threerun rally in the ninth inning and driving in the tieing and winning runs. Yesterday's heroes: Guy Bush and Rogers Hornshy of the Chicago ■ Cubs. Bush pitched a one-hit game to defeat Boston. 8 to 1. in the second gatpe of a doubleheader.
