Results from the games of the 30th day of the 1919 season . . .
White Sox 12, Yankees 2: Eddie Collins had a single, double and a home run and Swede Risberg knocked in three men with three safeties from the penultimate spot in the lineup to power an easy White Sox win over the visitors from New York. With the score 3-2 Chicago in the bottom of the 7th, Buck Weaver drew a walk from Bob Shawkey to start the inning and Collins followed with a drive to the wall in center field that allowed both men to circle the bases uncontested. This was the beginning of the end for Shawkey as three of the next four men reached base against him, and Pete Schneider couldn't stem the tide that resulted in a seven-run inning. Eddie Cicotte put that in the bank and set the Yanks down quietly over the final two innings to join teammate Lefty Williams atop the AL win list with five. [box]
