Tigers 2, White Sox 1  (76-50)

The White Sox four game winning streak came to an end when Tigers’ starter Red Donahue outdueled Ed Walsh.  Both teams got on the board with a run each in the first inning then neither team scored the rest of the way until the Tigers scored a run in the top of the ninth to win it 2-1.

Bill O’Neill had two of the White Sox five hits and Fielder Jones scored the only run.  In the bottom of the ninth, George Davis tried to reach first on a bunt and apparantly made it, but the umpire blew the call.  A number of bottles came down on the umpire a disgraceful display by the fans, but fortunately he was able to get off the field without getting seriously hurt.
