WHITE SOX GO OVER THE TOP
ROUT BOSTON AND BRING TO COMISKEY FIRST FLAG SINCE 1906. When John Collins singled to left ield in the first half of the tenth inning, sending little Ray Schalk over the rubber, there came to Charles Comiskey, president of the White Sox, the first American League flag that he has had since the fall of he year 1906, when Fielder Jones ed his crew to an American League flag and ultimately world’s championship. The old Roman was mightly pleased when the ticker showed that the White Sox had won over Boston and immediately wired his congratulations to Manager Rowland and the remainder of the Hose. The pennant chase in the American League this year has been close and it was not until the final drive made by the Comiskeymen that they were able to draw away from the unbleached hose. The White Sox can lose the remainder of their games and still win if Boston wins all of theirs. Reserved seat tickets for the first, second and fifth games at the Chicago park are now on sale. Anyone securing a reserved seat ticket must buy tickets for all three games. Quite a number from this city will'witness the elash against the New Yorkers.
