Senators Rally To Beat White Sox 8 4 In Slugfest
Slumping Mike Epstein hit a three run homer in the second inning to lift the Washington Senators to an 8-4 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Frank Coggins started the inning with a single and scored on Ron Hansen's double as Joe Coleman recovered after a rough first. Coleman then silenced the White Sox until the eighth, aided by Epstein's timely blast. About 30 million Americans went camping last year.
