White Sox 3, Americans 2  (86-55)

The White Sox won their second straight game and with the Highlanders losing, they moved back into first place in the American League.  Nick Altrock picked up his second win in as many days when he relieved Ed White in the third inning.

Fielder Jones made the play of the game.  On a deep fly ball to centerfield, Jones made a tremendous diving catch to not only make the out, but to save an extra base hit.    Americans second baseman Chet Chadbourne never expected the catch to be made and he was already around third when Jones made the catch.  Jones then walked the ball in and completed the double play unassisted by touch second base.

George Davis had the big day at the plate.  He had three hits and a run in the tight win.
