It also furnishes a moral for players aspiring to retain their Posts as regulars in major league com pany. The player in question was Chink Mattick, sometimes called Walter by the ball players. The game In ques tion caused many braln storms and @eartburns, for it was lost by the White Sox to the world's champions recently at Comiskey park, before a erowd of fans that had their minds set on victory. The final score was 10 to 3, with the home team just falling to furnish one of the most brilliant and successful ninth inning rallies ever . een on a ball fleld. The error of omission of Mattick «ame in the sixth inning, with two out, two runs in and runners on first and third bases Mattick's play was to &et on by all manner of means, fill the sacks and give a chance for a pinch hitter to clean the bases.
