Cicotte Wins as White Sox Top St Louis Five Games Ahead
Eddie Cicotte collected his 21st victory as Chicago defeated St Louis 8 to 4 to open a five game lead over Boston. The game featured wild pitching, erratic defense, and a controversial play when Risberg circled the bases after Cicotte’s ball was thrown into the dugout, only to have play resumed. Highlights include two base hits by Sloan and a three base hit by Schalk, with Chicago doing most of its scoring in the sixth inning and securing the win in 2 hours 8 minutes.
