Kelly, starting hurler for the White Sox, was very wild in the three innings that he w'orked, allowing seven unearned runs to score, owing to many walks and wild pitches. F. Myers, who replaced him, pitched very creditably in the six innings that he worked. Smith of the White Sox had a perfect day at bat, hitting safely four times.
