Highlanders 6, White Sox 3  (83-53)

The White Sox lost to the Highlanders in the first game of their doubleheader and in the process, slipped into a tie with New York for first place in the American League.  Ed Walsh took a 3-3 tie into the ninth inning only to yield three more as the Highlanders doubled up the Sox.  Walsh struck out seven batters.

Walsh did help out his own cause at the plate because he led the way with the bat.  He singled twice and scored two of the White Sox three runs.
