White Sox 7, Browns 2  (1-0)

The White Sox won their season opener on the road with a flurry of runs in the final two frames.  Ray Schalk homered in the game and Buck Weaver went two for four with two doubles and two runs.  Chick Gandil also had a nice day at the plate.  He went three for four with a run.

The White Sox used three pitchers in this game.  Lefty Williams got the start but he last only one inning before Jim Scott came in to throw six innings.  Then Dave Danforth pitched the final two frames and didn’t give up a hit to pick up the win.
