White Sox 7, Athletics 5: Two-run singles by Happy Felsch and Swede Risberg in the 8th inning gave Chicago what looked like a comfortable lead, but Philadelphia made them sweat for the final three outs before succumbing at Shibe Park. An error and an passed ball helped the White Sox score twice in the 1st, but the As got one back in the 4th on Ivy Griffin's triple and Frank Welch's groundout, and the other in the 7th when Welch singled with the bases full and two outs. When Chicago came to bat in the 8th, Eddie Collins and Joe Jackson walked around Buck Weaver's single to fill the sacks with Sox with one out. Felsch and Risberg then delivered their key hits to put the visitors up by a score of 6-2, and a Collins RBI single the following inning made it a 7-2 game into the bottom of the 9th. Dave Danforth walked two batters with one out to get himself into hot water, and the A's then wrapped three singles back-to-back around a passed ball to score three runs and put the tying run on base. Whitey Witt could only ground out to first base for the final out, however, to make a winner of Red Faber (15-5). Welch had four hits and three RBI in the losing cause. [box]
