for the army under the draft law. The players, as shown above, are:

WHITE SOX TRIO
ASK EXEMPTION
"Chick" Gandil, "Happy"
Felsch and "Buck" Weaver
Examined Here for Draft
"JIM" SCOTT WANTS TO GO
Three members of the Chicago White Sox,
of the American Lengue, were examined at
the Tweltfth and Pine streets police station
today for the draft army. All thrco passed
and asked exemptions.
The threo men are "Chick" Gandil,
"Happy" Felsch and "Buck" Weaver. Gan
dil Is tho first baseman who was obtained
from Cleveland at the beginning of tho pres-1
ent season. lie-asked for exemption on tno
grounds of having a wlfo and small daugh
ter. Felsch Is the slugging center fielder
known around the circuit for his homo-run
hitting. In the game with the Athletics
yesterday he sent one into the center-Add
bleachers. He asks for exemption because
he Is married. Weaver Is one of tho fast
est third basemen in the American League.
He asks for exemption on the ground of
marriage.
"Jim" Scott, a fellow teammate of the
three drafted men, Is attempting to gain
admission to the coming officers' training
camp, which begins August 27. He was
examined In this city and will be Informed
In two or three days whether he Is to bo
sent to tho camp. Scott has been a much
feared pitcher with the White Sox since
1909. However, tho Athletics beat him
yesterday ln a speedy eleven-Inning game.
Scott was formerly In the United States
army. Asked about leaving the team In
a crisis, he said his country's crisis was
more vital.
Gandil and Weaver were registered in
Chicago and Felsch was registered In Mil
waukee. They asked for permission to be
examined In this city because they will not
be back In Chicago or Milwaukee to appear
before their local boards for somo time,
owing to their schedule being In the East
for several days. This transfer Is perfectly
regular and will be effective In the case of
many baseball players, as well as traveling
men. . M
Right after the three tnen were called
up the name of Major Bartley Williams was
called, and every one looked around for
another prominent citizen. Major Williams
proved to be 'a strapping negro, who has
the name "Major" as a flrst name. He lives
at 1908 Lombard street.

Stage Close Argument
By ROBERT W. MAXWELL
SHIRK PARK, Aug. 7.
The Athletics led the Whlto Sox, to 1,
at tho end of tho sixth Inning today, but
they had an awful time In getting tho ad
vantage. During tho blx hcsslons, the A'a
outbntted the'r opponents by a tremendous
margin. Only three hits nnd a pass was
mado off Schauer, whereas tho Mnckmen
got nine singles, a double and two bases off
Faber.
In every Inning, the homo team hod a
splendid opportunity to score, and on tome
occasions to get u big lead, but the hit
necessary to drive ono or moto runners
homo was not forthcoming.
A base on balla was responsible for start
ing the flrst run of the game for Chicago
In tho first Inning, and nlso for the Athletics
in the second session.
After that, Schauer outpltched Faber py a
big margin, but the score remained a tie un
til the sixth Inning, when with one out. Witt
scored on his single, Schauer's sacrifice and
JamteSon's single.
The Athletics opened on Faber as though
about to get a bunch of runs, but, with
Jamlcson on third and Bodle on first as the
result of a pass and a single, Bates hit
into' a double play, Collins to Rlsberg to
Gandell. ,
Witt was back at his old station at short
atop. FIRST INNING
