The Philadelphia Athletics faced the Chicago White Sox for a Tuesday afternoon game at
Comiskey Park on July 28, 1936.
Philadelphia had been a strong team in the early 1930s, winning two championships that
included three straight hundred-win seasons and trips to the World Series.
But the franchise decided to liquidate their talent at the end of 1932, dealing future
Hall of Famers Al Simmons, Lefty Grove, Mickey Cochran, and the legendary Jimmy Fox all for
cash over the next three seasons.
The team then plummeted and lost 90 or more games in each of the next nine seasons.
They were led by Connie Mack in his 36th season as manager, president, and owner of the athletics.
He would go on to manage for another 17 seasons.
The White Sox were also a struggling team, having never finished over 500 nearly a decade.
They were managed by Jimmy Dykes, who was also the team's starting third baseman.
This audio recording is from the Chicago Radio broadcast, featuring announcer Hal Totten.
It winds up to show the first one, and Hayes takes it for a fall, admits that inside corner,
a little bit, seemed to be all set down pretty low.
So it's one ball called on Hayes, White Sox leading the athletics, two to nothing in the first inning.
Throughout two runs home and Bonneuron third base, Jackie Trinkvaneck, the fall effect,
into the stands to the right of the plate, and it's one and one.
Oh, Hayes, and, oh, oh, oh, Hayes, no prior twin, raised back to the stand,
and see whether that ball could be caught or not.
When it wasn't, when pulled the ball out of his pocket, he threw it back to the pitcher only.
He didn't throw it to the pitcher.
He threw it about eight feet to his right, so the pitcher's left, and no prior McGowan had to
peel it out there and throw it back to Doyle.
I hope that's the wind up. Pitch is, Jackie hit the line, smashed down the third base line,
and it's fall, but it just missed Bonneuron's ear.
Man, that ball really went down there and hit the end of the canvas,
bonded halfway back to the empty.
The ball was hit like a shot down the third base line,
and the ball had ducked it and it landed, fall, about 30 feet down past third base.
One and two, one ball and two strikes.
Again, winding up, throw, Jackie falls, another one back,
hits the front of the second back bound, high in the air,
lands back out, out of the net and down into the field,
hits still one ball and two strikes on Hayes.
Bonneuron third base, two rounds home in the first inning for the white star,
and the score two to nothing in their favor.
The ball again starts to wind up, throws and it's a high one wide for a ball,
making it two and two, two balls and two strikes on Hayes.
Two and two is the count.
It throws again and Jackie swings and hits a high fast ball inside
and strike out for the third out in the loud top of the first inning.
So it's two rounds, three hits, one man left on base, in the last out of the first inning
for the white star, and the score is two to nothing in favor of the white star
at the end of the first in.
Here's a tip for keeping your car in condition,
if you haven't changed the motor all recently, do it now.
Change to the new technical motor R.
New technical motor R retains its lubricating qualities for this heat
and keeps every bearing surface protected with an unbroken film of efficient lubrication
every mile you drive.
Bob Johnson, the Philadelphia second baseman who we told you yesterday,
we had never seen him do anything to play the outfield,
but he's been playing second base for several weeks.
He's up there to play now, and up he's dangerous, right-handed hit it.
Now on each hand, there's a plate waiting as he's been kept in sight,
starts to blind up, throws, and the hitter takes it inside across the way for ball one.
One ball falls.
He's been blinded up again, he pitches and hitters, swings and falls,
the ball on the ground goes back to stand,
I think it hit up by a queen and was put on the way back, but...
He won't rubber anything, but he was walking around there rather to try it for a minute
to show him that he got me.
And it's one and one, one ball and one strike on Johnson.
Here comes the next one inside for ball two,
and the count is two balls and one strike on Johnson.
One and one to count.
One and one, the controls once more, and Johnson swings in a high-flash,
coming down, falls back to first base, and there's under it,
and has it for the first out of the second inning.
One out of the second inning for the athletic,
and Frank Higgins is third baseman,
Higgins another right-handed hitter, and a dangerous one,
is up there to swing.
Higgins swings, hitter pops wide, and this time,
Pryad is coming in under it in the infield,
but he decides that Blair is pretty bad and calls the stool,
becomes out and makes the catch for the second out.
You know, even though the sun for the moment isn't out brightly,
and you once look up in that cloud-covered sky,
with the right toward where the sun is,
it makes a terrific glare that's almost covered
and looking right into clear sunlight,
and with Pryad having to stare up into that,
and stool coming up in the play, he called to Luke,
and he made the play.
And now, Frank Higgins, a bad hitter,
and a terrific smash way up to deep right center,
and Feevitch goes way back in front of the scoreboard
to make the catch for the third out,
handing the first half of the second inning with no run,
and no hit.
The score remains two to nothing in favor of the White Dot,
White Dot coming to bat in the last half of the second inning,
with Tony Pryad up there at the plate.
Pryad is standing at the plate waiting, as I mentioned earlier,
Jimmy Dyke, who is regularly the third baseman,
and the manager of the stock,
is coaching a third base bat,
and he's taking a day off, maybe a day or two off.
After all, he has a good ball player there,
and a efficient one,
and a fellow who should by now be out of the slump
that had him bothered earlier in the year,
and after he started breaking out,
Tony slumped, and they took him out of there,
and Jackie Hayes can go into the great center,
and he couldn't get Tony back in.
Having a ball player like that, that is no reason why
men like Jimmy Dyke who's been playing ball for more years,
and most of us have been watching it,
should stay in there every day when our days rest in there,
we'll make a new man out of it,
so that's what he's doing today.
Here's Hayes up there, but he winds up strong,
and it's a curve ball, he's gone and low,
with ball one, one ball called.
What do I say?
If I got Hayes up there, Andy,
well, couldn't you check up on me, will you?
It's fire, isn't it? You keep up today, okay?
One ball called, and fire Tony hits the next one,
a beauty out the left center,
the shortstop leaps in the air almost,
makes a great catch, but he just loads the ball up,
and it drops out into the center field,
bounds out there for a base hit.
Man, that fellow Newsom almost made himself a player
the afternoon there with that leaping effort
to get that line smashed, and a third,
he managed to tag it, and it went out into the center field
on the bounce, so our fire is on first base,
the rest of a base hit, down first base,
nobody else is second inning, and Luke's throw,
White Talk catches the bat,
which it throws, and Luke swings the follow ball back,
and the net back of the plate for strike one.
One strike on two-oh.
He's out there, rubbed up,
he's all up a little bit,
drives his hands on his trousers,
then swings around, ready to pitch the next one to Luke,
strike at the runner, then pitches,
and two started a swing,
but changes his mind to take a ball inside and low,
and it's one ball and one strike on Luke's tour.
One and one to count.
One ball and one strike,
ready again, throws,
and the hitter swings,
hitter drives into center field,
going way out there,
but the center field is backed up easily,
makes the catch, throws the ball back
into second base, then play out, has to go back to put.
He took White Talk's pitcher,
late-hugged his game,
followed up the team,
and bats with one out in the second base.
Getting ready now,
goes over to man's first base,
then pitches in, it's a wide one across the knee
for ball one.
One ball calls.
Go up, throws again,
and deep-ditch swings, hitter follows,
going into the center field,
the right of the base,
catch is coming back very fast,
but it's back out of his reach,
and so it's one and one.
One ball and one strike on deep-ditch.
One and one is a count.
And here's the next pitch,
ball is set.
Look at the runner,
pitches him, hitter hits the ball
right down to third base one,
he grabs forward and hits him in the foot,
he recovers it again,
and throws the first down,
the ball gets there just,
and I land after deep-ditch,
foot hits the bag,
and both runners are safe.
Runners on first and second,
each acrylic went down that line
for a picture that time,
and lost no time doing.
The runners are on first and second,
with one out in the second inning,
and the next man up there is
the Brad Pitt,
lead out man,
and let the list dog,
you little left-handed hitter.
That play is charged as an error
for Higgins,
and the first pitch to Brad Pitt
is a fast strike over the inside corner
about shoulder-high.
This is ready out there again,
takes another look,
targets the runner, second,
and pitches,
and Radcliffe swings in a high client,
it's been a field,
but Moses charged a little bit
to his right, he's waiting,
comes in a little, has it,
and throws hard to third base
to hold the runner at second,
so Newsom cuts it off,
and it's two out in the second inning.
Two out in the second inning
for the white dog,
they have runners on first and second,
and Larry Rosenclaw is a fast.
Rosenclaw up there to play.
Oil is ready, throws,
Larry swings and follows the ball back
to the screen for strike one.
One strike is a count.
One strike,
but you're ready out there again,
he's a heavy sign,
throws, and it's a wide one across
the way for ball one,
and the count is one ball and one strike,
one one on Rosenclaw.
One and one to count,
but you're ready again,
watch the second, throws,
and it falls to the right and outside,
and this time the catcher
walks out in front of the plate,
calls encouragement to count,
throws the ball back to him,
claps into the glove a couple of times
while he looks around the outfield,
he's playing fairly even for Rosenclaw both,
right and left field,
he looks pretty well in from the line
and not taking that line very much,
saying more out of the center field,
but the second baseman is playing pretty deep,
and Larry jumps back to take the third pitch in,
the third ball, he's got a low,
and it's a three and one,
three balls and one strike on Larry.
Rosenclaw might possibly go after this
three and one ball,
this is ready,
throws, and it's wide across the way
for ball four,
he couldn't go after with a ball that far away,
and it gives him a base on ball
with stills of baseman for the white shot,
hit second inning,
stills of baseman with two outs,
and Mike Pivich, the white shot right field,
is up there at the plate,
Pivich is that,
and he's got a low,
he winds up to take the first one to Mike,
throws, and he takes it inside
across the way for ball one,
one ball called,
he stands there watching the plate again,
finally starts his wind up,
swinging wind up to use it,
Pitches and Mike get the boundary,
and the third base and grabs the ball,
throws the second,
and Rosenclaw is forced out in a play
from Higgins to Johnson for the third out,
ending that inning,
and ending that serious threat with no dam.
And so it's no runs,
one hit, one error,
and three men left on base
in the last half of the second inning,
the score remaining two to nothing
in favor of the white shot
at the end of the second inning.
I'm very pleased to hear from so many fans
who discovered that there had been a little delay
in their getting of the new 1936
Texaco score.
You know this book is really quite an item,
and I've noticed many of the baseball writers
examining it,
and told them even using them,
because they're just the same as the official books,
except the summary sheet is a little more complete.
But in the book, the size,
space for 17 full games,
the regular official blanks,
such as we've used for many years,
and the complete scoring system,
with illustrations and pictures of the Cubs
and the white shots, the rosters, the schedules,
and it's so simple to receive,
just stop in at any Texaco station,
have full request card,
fill it in with your name and address,
it's already addressed to me on the other side,
the one-cent stamp on it,
and mail it, and you'll get that card.
As I said, those two have been a little delay
in receiving the book,
that's been letting me know about it,
and we'll see if they get the book right away,
you may have sent your card,
and there's been some delay,
so don't forget to let me know.
Now, Newsom and Strat take the first pitch
high and wide for ball one,
and Dietrich throws the next one
over the outside corner of our wayside
for a strike.
So, it's one ball and one strike on Newsom,
or right-handed hitter,
there's the next ball with their ball outside,
and it's two and one.
Two balls and one strike on Whitey Newsom,
Lamar Newsom.
Dietrich throws it down to hitters,
swings it a high,
quiet, a short left center,
Brad Clifford is jogging over these leaves,
waiting for the ball now, has it,
and it's one out in the third inning
for the outside.
One out in the third inning with Carl Doyle's pitcher.
Now, it's coming up to the plate.
Far to get there,
he bats right-handed as he pitches,
he infills, plays the ball even,
Halfield pulls in a little,
and the first pitch is a strike over the
part of the plate, a little above the knees.
Rosenclaw has moved a little bit toward right-centered,
figuring, oh, I'll have to hit him to right,
and there's strike two,
another fast ball down the middle,
a little above the knees,
and it's two strikes on Doyle.
Two strikes to count,
and the pitcher throws in it to high one inside
for ball one,
and make it one ball and two strikes on Doyle.
One and two.
Hitter swings again,
and this is the fast ball striking out
for the second out in the third inning,
and makes a two out of the third inning for the eighth,
and Luke Finney, the lead-out man,
once more of the best.
Luke got himself five-hits
and six times the bat yesterday,
rather a busy afternoon.
One, throws and Hitter swings,
hit one, the right-back at Haze,
it comes up with it on the half,
throws the first pitch, and it's three out.
No runs, no hits in the third inning,
for the athletic,
and the score remains good or nothing,
in favor of the white start,
starts going the ball in the last half.
Out the third inning,
with the sixth manura,
who tripled to drive in the second run
in the first inning,
in the first manner,
as broadcast of the white start Philadelphia game,
comes to you directing the Minsky pot,
home of the white start to Chicago,
has a presentation of your neighborhood,
the Texaco data,
distributed to the Texaco Fire Chiefs,
Gasly.
The broadcast comes with a permission,
out of the white start from the athletics,
to stimulate Hitter to now a national game,
and in your own local baseball team.
It's a WCFL at Chicago.
So I was arrived down the mound,
started his warm-up,
and downstairs,
sitting on the bench today,
was a judge bench,
and looked around,
and discovered a fellow that,
well, it wasn't so very long ago,
we were talking about him from up here.
He was up here alongside of us now,
that former member of the strike,
and Boston club in the American League, Bill Ake,
is still, how do you like baseball,
from up in this direction?
It's a little high up,
I'd rather be down on the field
with the rest of the boys.
Well, I'm hoping to take you for that.
How do you like this way of running,
how do you like this way of playing baseball?
Sitting and talking for two hours an afternoon.
I could only like extended,
I got too nervous to do it.
Well, you've done pretty well so far,
you haven't knocked any chairs or anything over there.
Hope you long, right?
Benoit is up there now,
he starts to wind up,
and draws and sees clean-fax,
to take a high-pass ball inside for ball one.
One ball called.
So, it leans over to get to the side,
starts to wind up again.
And pitches and seek take ball two,
a fast one inside across the way.
So, it's two and nothing,
two balls and no strike,
and the Nura.
One nothing of the count,
it's already again,
starts to wind up once more.
It draws and it's a fast strike over the heart of the plate,
way high, making it two and one.
Two balls and one strike on feet.
One one, and there's the second ball,
third ball wide across the way,
and it's three balls and one strike on Benoit.
And one the count.
And one of the pitches ready again,
throws and the header takes four,
four, it's over the plate for Lowell,
and seek at the base on ball.
So, puts the big seek on first base,
with nobody out in the third inning,
and Luke Kauffling is up there at the plate,
right-handed hitter,
gets up there and taps the plate
two or three times, the bat takes the soil,
Raoul is getting his time to pace,
getting ready to pitch,
team set,
goes for his first base,
and throws and it's a strike over the inside corner,
way high.
One strike on Kauffling.
All again, has the sign, he's ready,
stretches, fiddles the ball,
and finally looks back to the runner's first base,
and pitches, and Luke's going to hit a slow pounder,
the pitch he can't quite get to it,
third base comes over and just juggles the ball,
shortstop grabs it,
for the meantime, Appling beats it out for a base hit,
and Bono reaches second base,
he made the turn,
goes to third because he found third base uncovered,
shortstop is right near the line,
so he's whirling with a plop,
he's taking second base,
and it's an infield scratch hit,
for Appling,
looks just as big as those batten averages for it,
and it puts the right-touch runners on
first and second, with nobody out in the third inning,
and Jackie Hayes,
mid-Hayes, the right-touch,
second baseman is up there at the plate,
and his active joy was going to bump,
the pitch came up inside,
slowly steps back to let it go by for ball one,
one ball called,
once again, a pitch that swings around,
looks back over his shoulder,
and throws, and it's a ball two,
it missed the outside corner,
down around the knee,
infield are all played for the first base,
when charging in,
second base, they're going over to cover first,
shortstop dashing over to second,
third base, when holding back as far as he dares,
Steve, he can't make a play at third base,
he throws again,
and Jackie gets a wide one across the way
for ball three,
and it's a three on nothing on Hayes,
Frank Hayes, the catcher,
walks out in front of the plate,
calls the pitch, throws the ball back to him,
the ball stands there, rubbing the ball up,
standing with his back to the plate,
on his turns around,
steps out of the slab,
and there's the stretch, getting ready to pitch the next one,
Hayes, he throws,
and it's ball four,
and Ryan inside,
mid-to-get-the-base-down ball,
the starts have the bases full in the third inning,
with nobody out,
nobody out, bases full,
white starts already leading, two to nothing,
and Tony Pryor is back
in the third inning.
Soil has got himself in a second trouble out here,
Pryor up there now, right-handed hit it also,
and with his right foot way in the inside rear
corner of the batter's box,
partially faking the pitcher,
the first one to bounce the ball down the third baseline,
Jimmy Dyke's field, it looks it over,
pretty carefully, runs it up a little,
then tosses it out,
through the pitcher, and Doyle takes it,
adjusts his cap, grabs the ball,
looks the plate for the sign of pitch again,
Pryor is all set there,
Doyle starts that easy swinging wind-up,
pitches, and oh, Tony had to sit on
under that one, and with some far inside,
and it made it ball one,
and the count is one ball and one strike on fire,
one and one,
ready again, starts the wind-up throws,
and Tony takes the second ball,
Doyle's set again to swing,
but the ball came down there by the knee inside,
and it's two balls and one strike on hay.
Or rather, on fire, like he's insisting
on getting hay up there at that next time, don't worry.
Wind-one to count, two balls and one strike,
Tony started to swing at the next one,
stopped the ball, hit the bat,
and bounded down to the first baseman,
who grabbed it through to the plate,
getting Pryor to easily,
or rather getting the man at the plate easily,
and threw back to first, the Pryor got down there.
Pryor tried to pull away from that ball,
but he got his bat around just far enough
so the ball met it, and bounded easily down,
to deem the first baseman, and he threw the catch
at the plate, forcing Belora for the first out of the inning.
Base there still full with one out,
and Luke Sewell hit the first pitch,
a long drive up, deep left cheddar,
going way out there to the scoreboard.
One run is coming across the first plate,
another one, hand flat,
it's around third base racing for the plate, score standing up,
a long double to the scoreboard in deep left center,
by Luke Sewell scores all three runs,
and gives the White Sox now a five to nothing lead.
That ball was really hip too,
but I mean he got that ball right around on that ball,
and drove it out into left center,
there was no question about where it was going from the moment it started.
It was right out between the left fielder and center fielder,
neither man had a chance to make a play on it.
A regular parade of thoughts,
runners across that plate,
here's Dietrich the pitcher's bat,
throws in, he swings it a boundary,
just past the pitcher, shortstop,
comes in fast, grabs the ball,
realized he can't get Dietrich,
holds it, hoping to get Sewell rounding third,
Sewell stops very ahead of time in the plate,
and runners are on first and third,
still only one out, three runs already home,
and that's an infield stretch yet for the pitcher Dietrich.
Now he's been on base both times, he's been up there,
he really goes down that line on his way to first base,
he doesn't waste any time.
Now Ratcliffe up there,
takes the crack at the first pitch,
hit a little looping foul down back at third base,
third base, and bashing over there with his back,
and the boxy, it's one of the fans there,
passes it, and it's one strike on Ratcliffe.
Right-stop runners on first and third,
one out, three runs already home in the third inning,
and Ratcliffe at bat.
Here it is, the next one, a long high fly to deep center field,
steals it back there to get it,
makes the catch and soles jogging home after the catch
with Dietrich starting back to first base.
Long drive, deep center field,
by Ratcliffe for the second out,
and scores soles after the catch with the fourth run of the inning
and takes the first pitch wide across the way from ball one.
One ball called.
There's the next one for ball two inside,
and blowing the count is two and nothing.
Two balls and no strike on Rogenthal.
The oil swings around again, ready to throw.
The win goes to the second out.
The ball goes to the third base.
The oil swings around again, ready to throw.
The watch is the runner's first with pitches,
and Larry gets the first strike of beauty over the heart of the plate
about way high, and it's two and one,
two balls and one strike on Rogenthal.
Here comes the third ball wide,
and Larry has the count of three and one,
three balls and one strike on Rogenthal.
Hi, Ernie. Glad to see you.
Not glad to see you, Ernie.
Three and one, and there's ball four wide across the chest,
and it's a base on balls for Rogenthal,
his second walk in three innings,
first inning he singles,
walk in the second, walk in the third,
moves deeply to second base,
and the white dog-tip runner is on first and second,
two out, four runs already home in the third inning,
four now, six to nothing in favor of the stock,
and Steven just back-takes the first pitch,
nine and inside for ball one.
One ball called, but he walks out there in front of the
plate, return the ball to the pitcher,
new one, he rubs it up a little bit,
finally steps on to the slab, watches for his time,
gets it, swings around,
he's a pitching position,
strikes, looks back at the runner,
second pitches, and it's a strike over the
heart of the plate down around the knees,
to make it one ball and one strike on Steven.
One and one is the count.
Goes again, and Mike Legault sets for that one,
but step back, stopped his swing,
and the ball came over the heart of the plate down
around the knees, so it's one and two.
One ball and two strikes on little Mike.
One and two to count.
Goes again, and Peter swings it,
a foul down the right field line, back onto the roof of the stand,
and it's still one ball and two strikes on Peter.
One and two.
Watching the second base throw together,
and there's a ball inside his low to make it ball to,
and it's two balls and two strikes on Mike.
Well, he's having much luck out there,
he's fast when he throws the fast one,
but he usually, he's usually mostly a slow turn
and he's changing the pace.
He throws this one pretty fast, but it's blind wide.
The ball's free.
It cuts loose, the control isn't there, so he has trouble.
So it's three balls and two strikes.
Three and two on Peter.
Three and two.
He throws again, and the header swings,
and tips the ball, followed the ground back in the plate,
the runners were on the go with the pitch.
Three and three and two, count with two out.
So they have to jog back their bases,
that is one of them is running back,
Rosenclaw, but deeply controlling back the second.
Three balls and two strikes on Peter.
The ball throws again, the runners start,
but it's ball four wide, and again,
the white guard has the bases full.
It moves Rosenclaw to the second base,
and deep into third,
and the bases are full again,
in the third inning,
and Zeke Manora will open the inning with a walk,
but was forced to the plate for the first out,
after the bases have been filled for the first time,
they'll back up there at the plate.
Zeke Manora is back, bases full,
two out, four runs already home in the third inning,
and Zeke jumps back to take it inside and low for ball one.
One ball call.
The ball goes through, it's wind up,
pitches again, and it's a good strike.
Fast ball over the outside corner,
waist high, Zeke was all set to swing,
stopped and looked at the plate,
looked back at the umpire, looked at the plate again,
but it's one and one, one ball and one strike.
And Manora,
draws once more, Zeke swings in,
a little pop, wow, and short third base,
the third base will come again,
and makes the catch for the third out.
Manora pops the Higgins,
and it's three out in the fourth inning,
or the third inning for the White Sox,
I've run over into the fourth inning column,
and the scoreboard here to get that second time,
it's out in there.
So in the third inning, the White Sox had four runs,
or one, two, three hits.
Yes, there are only three hits in that rally,
and three men left on base,
it was mostly Wilderness on the tomorrow's part
that caused this trouble,
and the score at the end of the third inning,
the White Sox are leading the athletics by a score of six to nothing.
Now for up to a minute's scores and complete batteries from other cities,
we return to the studio.
In the National League, in Philadelphia,
the Chicago Cubs leave the Phillies
at the end of the first half of the seventh inning,
three to one, Henshaw and Hartnett working for the Cubs,
the field's using Passau and Adwood.
In Brooklyn, the Pittsburgh Pirates
leave the Dodgers at the end of the first half
of the fifth inning by a score of eight to two.
Verkhoff and Patton working for the Pirates,
the Dodgers starting Baker and Berries
with Butcher pitching in the third.
First game of the double header in New York was taken by the Giants
from the Cincinnati Reds five to one.
In the second game at the end of the third inning,
the Giants leave the Reds four to one.
In the second game batteries, the Reds,
Shot and Lombardi for the Giants, Smith and Mancuso.
In the American League, in Detroit,
the Yankees are leaving the Tigers at the end of the first half
of the second inning, eight to nothing.
Pearson and Jorgens working for the Yankees,
Bridges and Hayworth starting for the Tigers
with Soarall pitching in the second.
In Cleveland, the Indians leave the Washington Senators
at the end of the first half of the third inning, two to nothing.
Right-hilling Millie's working for the Senators,
the Indians using Brown and Fitlack.
And now back to the Michigan Park and Haltauson.
Take it out.
Ready to go in the next inning.
The fourth, the first man at Bad Moses
hits the first ball pitch for a pop-fly
into the infield, and clients came clear-closed
past the pitchers mound
to make the catch on the first-base side
of the pitchers box for the first out.
One out of the fourth,
the first pitch wide and low for ball one.
One ball call, but it throws again,
and it's ball two inside
across the way, making it two to nothing,
two balls and no strike on D.
There's a strike over the inside corner way tie.
So it's two and one, two balls and one strike.
On D.
Or now comes strike two,
and it's over the inside corner knee-high
to make it two balls and two strikes on Chuck.
Two and two.
He's picked it over again,
he swings it the ball hard out into center field,
for a base hit the first set of the afternoon
off D.
And it's the second time he's reached base.
He walked once and got a base hit this time,
and the only man on the club that has been on base,
the dean is on first base,
one out of the fourth inning,
and fortunately, the right fielder is a best.
And the first pitch is a fast ball
across the way, but wide for ball one.
One ball call,
and it's ball three.
One ball call.
And hitters swing to the next one,
hit it into left field for another base hit.
Well, that's base hit, seemed to break the charm.
He drove it into left field for a single,
and it's moved the dean to second base.
So the A's, their runners on first and second,
one out of the fourth inning,
and Bob Johnson, the second baseman,
is a best.
He drove the first one for a strike
over the outside corner of Alton E. High.
One strike on Johnson.
He swings, hit the next one into right field
for still another base hit.
The second is coming around, third on the way in,
and Payne throws the ball to the plate,
and the runner is started calling out,
and then the umpire,
that is, he had it ahead of the air,
and suddenly spread his hands to indicate safe.
Early at first, he thought,
still had him blocked off,
but then he discovered that his foot had come over the plate,
and when the dust cleared,
and he saw his foot on the plate,
realized that it had been there,
because when the ball hit him, and he called him safe.
He had the courage of his conviction,
and the umpire may call play a little bit fast.
This time, the umpire,
Quinn had the arm part of the way up to call him out,
when the dust cleared, he saw he had made it,
so he realized it and called him safe,
as he should have, which was a good decision.
Now the men have bet,
Hegan takes the first pitch for a strike
over the outside corner.
How about Nihac?
One strike on Stakey.
A good throw to the plate by Davidson,
incidentally.
So let's help your runners on first and third,
one off, one run home in the fourth.
They hit the next one, a high fly out to right field,
previous comes over, makes the catch,
turns and makes another great throw to the plate,
but the runner scores easily
as the catcher runs up on the ball and blocks it,
and the runner at first had to hold his base.
So it's two out of the fourth inning,
two runs home for the athletic.
They still have jumps in on first base.
Mike Hayes, the catcher is up there to play.
Hayes is back, she looks at first base and pitches,
hit her, hits a high boundary,
going down the third base line,
a lands fair on the second half,
but it has a lot of ink to cut it,
a lot of spin, and it's landed fair,
and blocks all the way to the right angle
to go foul, and it's strike one on Hayes.
The ball was hit so high,
both runners would have been able to
advance on the ball even though it stayed fair,
and would steal it.
Hayes gets back to play for the count of one,
strike on him, two out of two runs home
in the fourth inning for the athletic,
scored now six to two in favor of the light dot,
John from still on first base.
He gets the sign, swings around,
he's ready to pitch,
throws and the header takes a wide run low for ball one,
throws one ball and one strike on me.
One and one.
Nice swing, again to hit a high,
fly down the right field line,
and it's just jogging over across the line,
and makes the catch down there and foul territory,
and it's out of the stand for the third out.
So it's two runs, three hits,
one man left on base,
first half of the fourth inning,
scored a six to two in favor of the light dot,
light dot's cutting the bat on the last half of the fourth,
with Luke Appling, light dot, shortstop,
the first man at bat.
What are all these things they just brought in here?
More telegrams, George.
Telegrams.
Birthday business has got them.
Congratulations to Graybeard of Wireless.
Ho ho ho ho ho.
Hope your break-a-dian in your life is not on golf course.
You know who that's from, yeah.
You don't have to say anything about that.
T-Craft, that's old flute.
It's a flute-craft, you know.
Uh huh.
That's your Mrs. B. Abumson.
Congratulations and sincere good wishes on your birthday.
Isn't that jucky?
Fred Fowler,
who's your wishes for many, many after returns.
Joel Hallfront.
Artie's congratulations.
Mrs. Anna Larson,
Mrs. Lesley Larson.
Very nice.
Happy birthday.
So I listen to the games.
Well, that suits me.
Bill Martell, up there at Lake Geneva.
It says happy birthday to us.
You know, it's her birthday too.
We usually have a chance to celebrate together,
but the season's still on.
We can't get away if I think you just make it.
Well, you gotta spend a while or more too.
Yes, and there's pharmacy.
Herbie Davis and the games.
Congratulations on your 29th birthday.
Your 29th and 29th again, so it's all right.
Mo Rice, congratulations.
From an old kill-roaring.
I know him.
Well, we got some more here,
but we'll read them in a minute, because the ball game is going on.
And Appling, if that
takes the first one
for a strike over the outside corner, about knee-high.
One strike on Luke.
She winds up again,
throws, and then swings the ball
into the stands above and the right of the plate,
or strike two.
And then makes a two-strike on Appling.
She throws again, and Luke will watch
if that ball goes into the ground of his feet for ball one,
so it's one and two.
One ball and two strikes.
Or winding up again,
pitches and Luke swings it up,
and it's a third base,
and it bounds over his shoulder
and goes on out in the left field.
Luke makes a turn, but goes back
the first pass, has the ball,
the field is in her head, and thrown in there,
and it's a base hit for Luke.
It gets one after that ball rather peculiarly.
Went out there, not seeming to know
just how it was going to bounce
because it was taking funny hop.
First a long one, then a short one,
then a medium one, and finally hit
and took a high hop right up over his shoulder
into left field for a sink.
So, Jerky Hayes is at bat taking the first pitch inside
by the knees for ball one.
One ball called.
Remember the white dots are leading the athletics
by a score of 62.
Last hop, the fourth inning.
Appling is on first base.
It throws now, and it's a strike
over the outside corner knee high
to make it one ball and one strike on knee.
One and one to count.
Better hit the next one,
and drive on into left field for a good clean base hit,
and it moves, appling to second base.
George, I'm glad you explained that one wire.
I saw that thread scores parlor,
and I couldn't figure it out.
Should have put quotation marks on it.
That's the voice from the studio by Jackie.
The thread parlor that does the scores
and things down there, green hour breaks.
I'm glad you pointed that out.
That hit me puzzled.
Reading them in a hurry here is trying not to miss the game.
I almost overlooked that.
Going on that well.
I've got to work together, my friend.
Well, the first pitch to play it now
almost knocked him down and takes it for ball one.
It's going to show scores now.
Scores and scores, of course.
Okay.
One ball called for the scores again,
and it's a strike over the outside corner waist high,
making it one and one.
Scores up scores and batteries.
It's charging up a little bit.
When and what is the count of the pitch already again?
Oh, I pulled it.
Tony right in the leg.
He tried to get out of the way of it,
but the ball kept sailing in toward him,
finally hitting bottom of the knee,
and he gets the first base hit by a fifth ball,
and again, the second time in two innings,
the white star stepped the base to score,
but nobody out,
and Luke Stool is a better player.
And Luke Stool is a better.
He stepped up there with a base to score last inning,
and cleared him up.
Just mocked him all up with a big double.
No, the A's don't bother warming up the pitchers.
I mean, one pitcher a day, you know.
Tony's swing, I'd rather Luke's swing
hit the first ball pitch in the results
in the double play, second to short to first,
but Aveling scores.
A double play,
and which Luke hit the ball.
Good job, and he flipped it to Newsome,
and Newsome over to Dean,
complete the double play,
scoring Aveling and moving A's to third base.
So now it's two out for the white star
in the fourth inning,
and Deepvik is getting a hand as he walks up there to play.
Two out, one run home, A's on third base.
He starts to wind up pitchers,
and it's a curve ball, wide and low for ball one.
One ball called.
A'll winding up the game throw,
and the header swings,
and this is a high pass ball outside for a strike.
So it's one ball and one strike on Deepvik.
One and one to count.
Throw it again, and Bill swings.
He drives it out into center field for a good clean single,
and scores A's easily from 13.
The single to center field by Deepvik,
and I'm glad of one thing,
he brought his hitting ability to the white star with him.
He always good, hits pretty good,
and free's up over that play.
He doesn't look much like a hitter,
but he takes a short, one swing at that ball,
and he's willing to swing,
which means he gets a lot of bases.
I know he always did against the white star before he came here.
Now, Rand Krippeth bets.
He drinks the first one to hit a high fly
in the left center, left dealer,
and scores again on his pass,
and makes the catch on the run out there for the third out.
Krippeth's been up four times in four innings,
but got only one base hit out of it,
and that's trying to sort of make a sense
in that fancy batting average it is.
Started out all right, but hasn't had any luck since.
Two runs, three hits,
one man left on deep
in the last half of the fourth inning,
and the score
remains, and now stands
7-2,
with an 8-2,
6-7, 8-9,
7-8, 4-5, 6-7,
and getting jittery here.
The birthday business is getting too much.
29 years a lot, yeah, getting old.
It's 8-2
at the end of the fourth inning.
Have you been having trouble keeping
squeaks and rattles out of your car after any spell?
Then try Marfax's healthy lubrication.
Marfax, please put on the bearings
and keep the water on mother.
It gives double the surface, but ordinary grease will, too.
Have your car Marfax,
and say goodbye to annoying, costly squeaks
and rattles.
First man left out of the fifth inning for the athletics
is Newsom,
Shortstop,
and takes the first one for strike.
The first one,
and the second one, on time, too, Mr. Moemar.
And this next one comes over there
for strike two.
He pick throws again for a high one wide
and ball one, and make it one ball and two strikes.
Throw it in the fourth block when that happens.
He just swings the next hit a high fly
to short right field.
Right field of craving just coming in,
but Hayes goes back and tries to cough to the ball.
Finally realizes Mike's coming in on him,
so he sits down.
He stops something, sits down to get out of the way,
and cravings comes on in to make the play.
So it's one out in the fifth inning for the athletics,
and Doyle,
and the final pitchers are back.
First pitch is a strike over the heart of the plate,
waist high.
One strike to count,
which winds up again, throw in,
and it's strike two. Boy, laid that one right down the middle.
No use of pulling than this fella.
He pick is really fast, and I thought he was.
He seemed to have a lot of stuff on that ball.
Of course, he's going to throw in just plain fastballs
down there just this minute.
Hayes winding up again, throws,
Hayes swings and falls the ball back on the ground
back of the plate, and may have Nick
Luke-Sue's foot. He sort of staggered for a minute,
but just reached for another ball,
got it, threw it back out the pitcher,
and it's two strikes.
On Doyle still,
he pick throws again, and Doyle swings
and misses, striking out,
for the second out of the fifth inning.
It makes it two out of the fifth inning for the athletics,
and Luke-Sue Hayes left fielder as it best.
Swings the first one, hit it hard up to,
with an early tie in the air,
trying to fail that ball, and hit him in the knee,
and found it out in the foul territory,
was Zeke right after it.
That ball's mounted, and Zeke went right up to the air with it,
but it didn't come up the tie,
and his glove hit him in the knee instead,
and bounced over to foul territory,
for what will probably be called a base hit,
the ball was hit pretty hard,
and his foot's spinning on the first date,
with two out of the fifth inning,
and Moses is center fielder.
Here's up there to play, Moses at bat.
Here he swings and fouls the ball back to the net,
back of the plate, and it's strike one.
Yes, it's officially called a hit now,
finally got the relay time,
on the old official scorer.
One strike on Moses,
and he swings, hit a foul fly, coming down,
foul back of the plate,
coming down onto the net,
and he swings and fouls it.
Two strikes to the count on Moses,
and the member of Penny is on first base,
and he hits the next one, but it's foul,
right down the first base coaching line,
Moses there grabs it, looks it over,
throws it back out to Pitchett,
as her old friend Lena Blackburn,
who many, many years ago played with the White Sox.
Later on with Coach, and finally manager of the club.
He's ready again, Pitchett,
and it's a curve ball very wide,
one and two, that ball broke sharply away from the hit,
one ball and two,
foul first hit, it's broadcast,
now the White Sox fill it up to game,
comes to you directly from the Mischiefar,
home of the White Sox to Chicago,
at the presentation of your neighborhood,
the technical dealer,
the distributor of the technical fire chief, Gasly.
Broadcast comes with the permission of the White Sox,
the A's, the Stimulite Interest in our national game,
and in your own local baseball team.
WTFL, Chicago,
more wide, well,
a couple people must know about birthday,
maybe got plenty of it.
Here's one that I know is a real friend,
Gary joins me in wishing you many happy returns this day,
or a real sense of broadcasting,
but I like that very much,
and especially from General A.F. Lorenzo, who sent it,
that's very well.
Boy, the guy with service station,
happy birthdays and best wishes.
Early Oregon Joe, birthday greetings and best wishes,
may you live long.
Whoa, Larry Larson,
plans the first ball pitch to him right on into left field
for a good clean hard base hit.
That ball was well hit out to left field by Rosenclaw,
but she won first base,
nobody out in the fifth inning for the White Sox,
and Mike Pivots up there at the plate.
It's already now to hit the first one to Mike,
throws, and the hitter takes it inside across the knee
for ball one.
One ball called, it's already again,
throws, hands it inside and blows,
ball two making it two balls and no strike on credit.
It's doing nothing to count.
It's ready out there again,
takes a look back at the runner at first and pitches,
and hitters swing, hit a little bit,
fly to right field, right field, it comes in fast,
the ball drops in front of it for a base hit,
and then he can grab a hold of it on the first half,
has to pick it up a second time, and Rosenclaw,
who had stopped to watch whether the ball was going to be caught or not,
he had to get to second base,
it was one of those dead spots out there that if Puccinelli had any luck,
and could have gotten that ball on the hop,
he might have made a quick throw to second and tried to force Rosenclaw.
It was, he couldn't quite do it,
towards the base hit,
and the runner is on second,
runner is on first and second,
and the Texaco Liga is right,
next hitter and the runner hits and drives into left field for another base hit,
and left field throws the ball in fast,
but Rosenclaw scores easily.
Here, and he had time to get that Texaco Liga in to watch for that play at second,
I didn't want to stay with the Texaco Liga,
they forced him at second, I don't get the idea,
we'll come to that you like.
See Bill up here on this broadcast,
we don't have any Texaco Ligas anymore,
there's Texaco Ligas there, we've got to start individually,
no more Texaco Ligas, no more Texaco Ligas,
they're all Texaco Ligas.
Now, Appling is there, the playrunner is still on first and second,
nobody out, one run home in the fifth inning,
and he first pitches inside for ball one.
One ball called,
throws again on the header,
follows this one in to the stand to the right of the plate,
for a strike and the count is one ball and one strike.
One and one, on Appling,
oil swings around ready again,
it's another look like it's a runner,
then pitches, look at the sift now,
and he can cut in his rock and chair
and rock out of the way of that one,
and it's ball two, so it's two balls and one strike on Appling.
Two balls and one strike,
which has his time again,
takes another look back at second base,
and throws, and it's a wide one low for ball three,
taking up three balls and one strike on Appling.
Three and one is the count,
then the oil pitches and it's ball four inside across the way,
and look at the base fan,
well, we have three innings in a row,
they fill the bases with nobody out,
and no, well, they're going to warm somebody up in the bullpen,
don't tell me, don't tell me.
Flight is walking out there to the bullpen,
somebody else is also standing up to warm up,
and Jackie Hayes is a fat,
Jackie takes the first one, a fast strike
over the outside corner, waist high,
one strike on Hayes,
throws again and it's in stride,
the ball gets away from the catcher,
the runner from third is scoring,
slides in, the ball throw back from the pitcher,
the catcher gets past the pitcher,
there's nobody covering the plate,
so Benura also scores.
Hey, all your consumer spellers running home,
you know, like these fireworks,
you see a streak going across,
another streak goes right after it,
by the way those white streaks were tearing home that time.
The first pitch, my credit scored on a wild pitch,
for the other two runners advancing also,
and then when the catcher threw back to the pitcher badly,
Benura also scored,
but Appling had to stay on second,
and now the hitter swings the ball,
the next one back into, they stand back in the plate,
and it's one and one, one ball and one strike on Hayes,
Jackie swings it, the next one,
a long fly out to deep left field,
but the left fielder is waiting there and makes the catch,
the runner from second makes the break,
it's all to go to third,
but a very nice throw comes in from Finney to right to the bag
at third base to hold him at second.
So it's one out in the fifth inning,
three runs out of home for the white star,
Appling is still on second base,
and Tony Clire is at back,
the white star is now beating the athletics by a score of 11-2,
Doyle pitches and Fyde leans way back to take the ball inside,
across the way, one ball called,
and there's ball two also inside.
Doyle throws again and Fyde gets a high one inside for ball three,
and it's three balls and no strikes on Tony Clire,
hitting for the white star in the fifth inning,
but Appling on second base, one out,
three runs home and the score,
11-2 in favor of the white star,
throws again and it's a strike over the inside corner,
ways to high fly, it made a start as though to go to first,
but came back after taking only about a half a step,
so it's three and one,
and it goes again,
oh, Fyde tries to twist out of the way of that one,
the ball hit him right in the back,
that's the second time he's been hit by a pitch ball,
but in the record that goes merely as a base on ball,
because the ball hit him, that hit him was ball four,
in the old days they called that a hit batsman anyway,
but the pitcher saves his record a little bit this way.
Tony gets down there,
warping a little bit slowly because the ball hit you that way,
can knock the breath out of you more than the person could realize,
I mean the average person can get hit like that,
they have to carry them out on a stretcher,
but the ball players in condition can take it,
more or less have to take it.
Luke Sewell, in fact, takes the first,
takes the curve ball wide and blows the ball one.
One ball call, gets you ready once more.
For the runners on the go,
they hit the ball right back to the second base
and then flip it to the shortstop,
too late to get the man there,
but the throw to first does get Sewell.
Second base moves over to the shortstop,
got to the shortstop before he reached the bag,
and because it was a hit-and-run play,
the runners were on the go with the pitch,
by a split in,
taking the ball right back to the second base,
and then the ball goes in,
and the runners were on the go with the pitch,
by a split in, safely.
So Sewell is up on a rather peculiar roundabout play,
play going from Johnson to Newcombe to Dean,
and deeply can get to night time as he walks up to the plate.
And he takes the first one for a strike
over the inside corner, knee-high.
This young man has been on base all three times,
he's been at that once on an error,
and twice on base hit,
and there's a strike over the outside corner,
knee-high, making it two strikes on deep tricks.
He strikes a count,
one for the pitch is winding up.
He throws in deep,
swings in a bounder down toward left field,
Johnson grabs the ball,
but it gets past him,
and Ahnado, no, not Johnson,
but Higgins, Ahnado in the left field,
and two runs score as the runner reaches
first base for the fourth consecutive time,
and the fourth consecutive inning, I might ask.
Ball was pretty well hit to the left,
Higgins went over fast,
tried to reach it,
but it took a funny hop,
turned up off his glove,
and out into left field after hitting his glove.
Didn't know sign yet in the official score
as to whether that was a base hit or an error,
and now the first pitch to Redcliff is inside for ball one.
One ball called.
It's running out there again,
there's the stretch,
and he pitches in Redcliff, swings in a bounder,
Higgins grabs for that also,
but it curves off his top back to the shortstop,
who makes a backhand a take-up of it for too late
to get anybody,
and the runners are safe at first and second.
Everybody down there, the reason is realism,
just standing and looking,
and nobody's going back into the press box to find out.
We've got two to find out now, George,
see if somebody will go up there.
Well, you know what's going on.
Rosenfeld is up there at the plate,
on both of them, to pitch around Redcliff.
He gets the first pitch,
he drives into right field,
the right fielder grabs the ball, drops it,
and one run he's scoring,
and the other runner goes to third base.
You've got three of them to find out now, George.
What do you know about that?
Right fielder grabs the ball,
seems to be right in his hand,
and it hits his glove and drops to the ground,
and as a result, another run scored,
and the runners are on first and third,
two out,
six runs, holding his inning,
and Creavich at best makes a wide strike
over the outside corner above Nehigh,
one strike on Creavich.
One strike is a count,
and there's a ball inside across the way,
so it's one and one, one ball and one strike.
Ball two comes in wide and low,
so it's two balls and one strike,
and one on Creavich.
You mean the official score won't tell us
whether to hit on there?
Has he gone crazy or something?
And now Creavich swings it high,
found it down to the pitcher,
who comes over to the line, gets it,
but it's too late to get to man of first.
He throws out there with the runner at state,
and as a result, Radcliffe also scores,
and the ball goes to second base.
Creavich was a hit back,
that's his net out.
I wouldn't have said it.
Who's the official score?
Who's the official score, Whitey?
Well, I mean, who's the official score?
McNamara is the official score,
and he won't tell us the score here.
Well, they must be crazy.
I mean, after all,
if they want to act that way,
why would they care about that?
Now, Fleiss is in there to pitch.
Fleiss is in there to pitch for the A's.
They finally relieved Doyle,
and Fleiss is tall,
Slim right-hander takes up the pitching chores out there
with Whitey's arch runners on first and second,
two off, and a whole lot of runs home.
Okay, Bill, see you later.
Peacock's there to call the hit and run,
because the narrow is out of gas,
when he sort of spied that out of him,
but I suppose Rodin calls with a narrow.
I mean, if those players want to get swallowed,
they don't want to.
The thing is warm up out there on the mound,
trying to catch up on this inning here
and find out just all that did happen
on account of...
where a lot of things happened,
and we couldn't quite figure out
what it was all at once,
and get them all marked down here.
There's been a lot more runs in,
but we're ready to go now
for the deep Vanora's bat for the Starks.
She throws the first one,
and the header takes a strike
over the inside corner wayside.
One strike on Vanora.
And there's a ball inside across the way,
so it's one and one,
one ball and one strike.
One and one to count.
And he gets the next one,
a baller down to the shortstop
who gets it, throws the second baseman,
and the side is finally retired,
previous just forced,
had second base on a play,
which went from the shortstop
to the second baseman for the third out.
Now let's see if I can figure out
how many runs there were scored.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven runs
in that inning.
One, two, three, four, five hits,
two errors,
and two men left on b.
And the score is 15-2
in favor of the White Sox
at the end of the fifth inning.
And now again,
for just a moment,
we return to the studio.
Thousands of requests for

Back at the ballpark for the sixth inning,
the first-native bat dean
had taken the ball
and hit a foul and punched
landed back in the plate
for a strike
and now hit the fly ball
which Raphid gets out in left field
for the first out in the sixth inning.
One out in the sixth inning
for the athletic
and Cuccinelli,
the right-fielder of the bat.
First pitch to Cuccinelli
is a strike over the outside corner
about knee-high.
One strike
on Cuccinelli.
And there's a ball inside
across the way.
For ball one on the count
is one ball
and one strike on Cuccinelli.
One on one on the count.
It throws the next one
and it's a ball wide
and low on the count.
It's two balls and one strike.
Two on one.
It throws again
for the third ball wide
and it's three and one
on big George.
Three balls and one strike
on Cuccinelli.
There's a second strike
over the heart of the plate
about knee-high.
So it's three balls
and two strikes on Cuccinelli.
Three on two on the count.
It throws again.
The inner swing
hitter
bounded down to Jackie Hayes.
The catcher
throws the first base
and it's two out
in the sixth inning.
Two out in the sixth inning
for the Outletics.
It's a blind up throw
and Johnson
who is at bat
takes a curve ball
wide and low
on one ball called.
He throws again
for a strike over the inside
corner waistline
and it's one and one.
One ball and one strike
on Johnson.
The inner swing
is the following next one
back to the screen.
He falls down
from the fourth of that swing
and it's one and two.
One ball and two strikes
on big Bob.
One and two to count.
He throws again
for ball two
behind inside
and it's two balls
and two strikes.
Two on two
on Johnson.
The next one
he has to duck under it
and it's right up
at his shoulder
and he ducked under it
to take it for the third ball
making it three on two.
Three balls
and two strikes
on Johnson.
The hit the next one
to drive in the center field
for a base hit
and single by Johnson.
He'll get by Rosenclaw
and there he throws it back
into the infield.
And so Johnson
goes on first base
with two out in the sixth inning
and Higgins
here at the bat.
Higgins up there
at the plate
and the first pitch
is right inside
for ball one.
One ball called.
He throws again
hitters swing
hitters slow down
right back at the pitcher
and gets it.
He throws the first base
and it's three out.
He had to run a little bit
and overfield it easily
and it's three out
no runs one hit
one man left on base
in the first half
of the sixth inning
and the score
remains
where will I add him up again?
What is it seven
nine
fifteen
two
at the end of the sixth inning
I had the right number
of runs in that last half inning
didn't I seven
did I add him up right?
I left the countometer
alone
I didn't have a chance
to bring that
in yet.
Scoreboard got him up there
right too
we got some more wires here

but he starts to wind up again

for ball two
flight is now the pitching
you know and Peter
is just playing left field
in place of the finning
there's the next one

of the plate about knee high
and it's one and one
one ball and one strike
on

and the hitters swing

second baseman who gets it

in the thick finning
one out of the thick finning
for the white box

and getting out there
to resign
his first one
The ball falls off back onto the catcher after hitting the catcher's glove.
And it's one strike on the playoff.
Two out for the White Sox for the sixth inning.
One strike on playoff.
The ball swings again, hit a high flyer, the shortstop started in,
and the seventh after third baseman is making the catch easily for the third out.
And for the first time today, the White Sox has not only been retired in order,
but retired without a man-reaching base and retired without a base hit in and in.
No runs, no hits in the sixth inning for the White Sox,
and the score is still 15-2 in favor of the White Sox at the end of the sixth inning.
Now again, Fred's scores follow.
He's going to have to come in and give us up to the minute scores and complete batterings from other cities.
So we return to the studio.
In the National League in Philadelphia, the Jacopo Cubs lost their game today to the Philadelphia Phillies
when the Phillies scored five runs to the Cubs three runs.
Henshaw and Hartnett started for the Cubs with French taking over the mound in the ninth inning.
The Phillies used Passo and that was the entire route.
In Brooklyn, the Pittsburgh Pirates are leading the Dodgers at the end of the first half of the eighth inning
by a score of 8-2-6.
The Covran Patten opened for the Pirates with Brown in the fifth and Lucas on the mound in the eighth.
The Dodgers started Baker and Berries, Butcher pitching in the third and Phelps catching in the seventh.
In New York, the first game of the doublehead between the Giants and Cincinnati Reds,
the Giants won 5-1. In the second game, the Giants are leading the Reds
at the end of the first half of the sixth inning by a score of 8-1.
In the American League, in Detroit, the New York Yankees lead the Tigers at the end of the fourth inning
by a score of 11-4.
In the eighth inning, the Indians are leading the Washington Senators at the end of the first of the sixth,
by a score of 5-1. In St. Louis, the Browns lead the Boston Reds at the end of the first half of the second inning,
1-0. And now back to Kamisky Park and Halton. Take it Hal.
Back of the ball clock for the seventh inning, the first man at best, Frank Hayes,
the eighth catcher takes the ball and then falls one back against the front of the red box for strike one.
And the count is one ball and one strike on Hayes. The next one is ball two inside and low.
And the count is two balls and one strike on Hayes. Run one to count.
He's been flying up against the Giants, pitches and Frank swings, they had a batter down the flat,
gets it nicely, throws it first and throws high, but Vanuera gets back down on the bag,
the four Hayes can get there and it's one out of the steps.
Vanuera had to go into the air to grab that one. So it's one out of the seventh inning for the Athletics.
And now for Nussom, Lamar Nussom, the eighth shortstop is up there at best.
He swings it, the first one to drive on into left field for a good clean base hit.
Sting from the left field by Nussom, bringing him on first base with one out of the seventh inning for the Athletics.
And then he's done flying. Here's the bet. Thank you, William.
Nussom on first base, one out, fly for pitcher at best.
He watches first base, controls and flies, swings, head of balls, threw in the right field for a good base hit.
He's got a second because there's no point to try to go to third with a club needing 13 runs to tie it up.
One run wouldn't mean much if he took a chance on it.
And that out very much if he could have made it anyway, because the right fielder was flying in pretty close for the pitcher at best.
And fielded the ball quickly. The Hayes have runners on first and second with one out of the seventh inning.
And the right-handed fielder is now playing left field in place. Fennie takes the first pitch inside for ball one.
Down and six balls, two inside and low. And it counts as two and nothing, two balls and no strike on Peter.
Two and nothing, there's a third ball inside across the lake, so there's three balls and no strike.
Three and nothing. And there is ball four, it's over the plate with two low, and so Peter's ball, he's gone balls, and Dietrich has filled the bases with the seventh inning.
And Moses, the center fielder, here's the bet. Just a chance the heat may be getting to Dietrich a little bit,
because he hasn't been able to do an awful lot of pitching on account of having to run bases most of the time. He's been on bases all four times.
He's finished that. Now the first pitch is a strike, a fast ball over the heart of the plate, waist high on Moses.
The left-handed hitter, he just batted right-handed.
Dietrich throws a ganicur, both of those into the turning side, and the ball bonded up under Sewell's arm. Sewell just walked out in front of the plate with the ball still under his arm.
Now starts to rub the thumb on his right hand, he apparently took quite a start there with that. And it's one and one, one ball and one strike on Moses.
Now the bases full with one out of the seventh inning, Heitzhacht leading 15-2. He could start to wind up once more, throws in the hitter swing,
hit a high fly and a center fielder, throws and throws, jogging in a little bit as he makes the catch, gets the ball, turns and throws the third base to hold the runner from second there.
The ball bounces off of his shoulder while he crosses into the infield to get it, has one run scored. Newsom scored easily from third base on Moses' long fly to center,
scores the third run of the game for the athletics and makes the score 15-3.
So it's two out of the seventh inning, Peter's still on first base, one run is home, and Dean, the first baseman is at best.
So it's the first one and Dean hits the beauty out in the left center for a good long base hit, scoring clear out there to the wall, one run is coming in,
second one rounding third base and coming in, and Dean pulls up that second base. That's how they can really hit that ball.
Long double to left center by Dean, scoring both flights and Peter's, where the second and third run for the inning, makes the score 15-5 in favor of the white shot.
And the man at bat is Puccinelli, the right fielder taking the first pitch wide for ball one.
Here swings the next one, hit a high fly to left field, Radcliffe's under it waiting for it, has it easily, and it's three out,
three runs, three out, and one man left on base. First half of the seventh inning, he scores, standing 15-5 in favor of the white shot,
has the start to come to bat in the last half of the seventh inning, starts up with the seventh inning stretch, first white shot hitter,
and looks to all the white shot, capital. This broadcast, the white shot, comes to you direct from the Miski Park, home of the white shot in Chicago, has a presentation of your neighborhood's technical dealer, distributor of technical fire chief,
Gasoline. Broadcast comes with the permission of the white shot in the athletics, to stimulate interest in our national game, and in your own local baseball team.
WCFL at Chicago. Couple more wires, Frank Jimetro, congratulations on your birthday. Frank, oh I know Frank, he's got that technical station down there at Ohio and Deerbitt.
You know that too, Andy. And Jim Clark out of them, 29 or 92, congratulations.
Well, eight white 92, five for eight.
The white shot made the announcement today that Friday, July 31, next Friday is Ladies' Day here with no tickets, except tax tickets necessary for the ladies.
There will be a double header next Sunday, August 2nd, for the Boston Red Sox, the first game starting at 1.30.
Now, Stewart's bat takes the first pitch over the plate with low, and it's ball one. One ball called.
She winds up again, calls in the header, takes the wide one across the way for ball two, and makes it two and nothing, two balls and no strikes on Stewart.
She winds up again, and there's the first strike over the outside corner across the way, and make it two and one, two balls and one strike on Luke.
She winds up again, makes it one strike on Luke.
She winds one and the header swings the ball, the next one back into the second deck, down in front of us, and it's two and two, two balls and two strikes on Stewart.
She's ready once more, starts to wind up close, Luke swings her high plow, and deep right center right field is chasing it, still going back, and grabs the ball way out there.
She's got the ball back towards the center field, but gets away from him, who's going to have to go a long way for that ball, but he made a nice play on it, so it's one off. He's a seventh inning for the White Sox, and deep right, the White Sox pitcher again gets a nice hand from the fans as he walks up there to the plate.
She winds up again, makes it one strike on Luke, and the ball goes back into the third deck, and the ball goes back into the fourth deck.
She starts to wind up, and the first one to field, throws, deep, and swings into the high plow, and the center field, but Moses is jogging in under, and he has it, and it's two out, in the seventh inning.
First time they've gotten deep to go, two out in the seventh inning for the White Sox, and rip right-thip, is a fact.
Right-thip at the plate,
first pitch of that strike over the heart of the plate, way side, one strike to count,
and the ball inside across the way, so it's one and one, one ball and one strike on right-thip.
Right throws again, and it's a high one wide for the second ball, making it two and one on the ripper.
Two balls in one strike, but it's been up five times, gotten only one hit so far this afternoon.
Right throws again, and it's another ball wide, so it's three and one, three balls and one strike.
All right, winding up again, throws, and it's a wide one across the way for ball four, right, gets the base on ball,
and it's the first man to reach base off flight, since he went in there and relieved in the sixth inning.
Panura, the man who faced the first bat inning, forced the man for the third out, then he got three men out in the row in the sixth,
and the first two in the seventh.
Now, Rosenthal, Larry Rosenthal, is a fact, taking the first pitch, high and wide for ball one, on ball call.
Throw.
Throw again, and it takes a high one wide for ball two, and it's two balls and no strikes on Rosenthal.
Two and nothing to count.
Two and nothing, it's a ready again throw for a wide one and ball three, so it's three balls and no strikes on Rosenthal.
Three and nothing to count.
Three and nothing, it's a ready again, throws, and it's ball four, wide and low, and Larry gets the base on balls also.
Well, he's been all over those bases this afternoon, that's the sixth straight time he's reached base. He has two hits, three walks, and he's been on on an error.
White starts out runners on first and second, with two outs, he has the seventh inning, and Mike Krivich is up there at the plate.
Mike takes the fast one for a strike over the heart of the plate, about waist high. One strike on Krivich.
Ready again, takes another look back at second, and throws, and it's him tied across the waist for ball one, so it's one ball and one strike on Mike.
One and one to count.
Still watched the man second, then pitches, and Mike swings and falls the ball into the heart of the roof of the stand, above and to the right of the plate, bounds back down into the field, and it's still one and two, one ball and two strikes.
One and two to count, and Mike swings and drives the next one into left field for the base hit, a little looping single out there, the left field had got the ball and falls down as he makes a violent throw to the plate, but the runners scored anyway.
The leaders came in to get that little looping, takes the goalie here, and then as he grabbed the ball and threw hard to the plate, he tripped and fell. The ball came in pretty true, but Radcliffe did it anyway with the White Sox 16th run of the game.
The White Sox runners on first and second, two out, one run over the seventh, and Zeke Van Lera gives a fat taking the first pitch inside and low for ball one.
The ball hits the ground in front of the plate, bounds back into the infield, and the runners advance to second and third to pitch, he got the ball and started to throw to second only to discover nobody over there covering, and if the wild pitch flies, all the pitchers out there in front of the plate for the catch, he could get a hold of it,
and it puts the runners on second and third, two out, one run home in the seventh inning, and two balls called on Van Lera.
The White throws again and Zeke takes a good strike, a pretty one over the heart of the plate, waits high, and make it two and one. The ball goes one strike on Zeke.
He gets the next one, but it's a foul, little pop fly coming up into the second deck over our left, bounds out, and over and back down into the lower deck, and it's two and two, two balls and two strikes.
He swings again, a foul, another one back in the second deck up here, one fan struck up his hand to protect the space, the ball hit the hand and dropped right alongside of him, and it's two and two, two balls and two strikes.
The throws again and it's ball three inside across the way, and I get three balls and two strikes on Benort. Three and two is the count.
Three and two, it's ready again, starts to wind up, throws, and it's inside, but ball four of the ball got away from the catch, but didn't roll far enough to let anybody advance on it, so it's a base on ball for Zeke to fill the bases.
Here's the seventh inning, starts at the base, and throws a two out, one run home, and Luke Apling is up there at the plate.
Apling at bat, starts to score the runner leading 16-5 in the seventh inning. Luke has two hits, a walk and five tries, and the first pick to Luke is a wide one across the chest for ball one.
One ball, throws again and it's a high one inside for ball two, has to turn around and ask for another ball and get it.
Ready once again, now he's winding up, throws and he hits the one out to right field for another base hit, right field it fills the ball fast, one runner runs in, another one scoring, and Benort gets the third base, single to right field by Apling, scoring two more runs for the start, makes the score 18-5.
He starts runners on first and third and two out, three runs home in the seventh inning, and the next man up there is Jackie Hayes, white start, second baseman.
Looks around for boys and pitches and Jackie takes it inside and for ball one. One ball, calls. I think I brought some new pencils out today George.
And there's a strike over the heart of the plate, weighs high on the count, he has two or nothing, two balls and no strikes on here.
There's the next one for ball inside across the chest and it's three or nothing on Jackie. Three balls and no strikes.
If you want to have more balls strike. Didn't see it weighed, so the four shows two and one, but it doesn't matter, Jackie hits the next one in the right field for a base hit, Benort out of charge, home man, half-ling, tough, second base,
then go to right field by Hayes, scoring Benort, white start 19th out of the afternoon.
How are you people getting along with that Texas Go score book? You got room for everything? Look at that face, all full of black marks, needn't run.
How many pencils did you want out? Well, the first pitch now is flat, the flat is inside and low for ball one. One ball, calls.
Watch the second base, throws again and Tony gets a strike over the inside corner, weighs high, so it's one ball and one strike on flat.
One and one.
Tows again and Tony gets the second ball, it's over the plate for two low and it's two balls and one strike on flat.
It still keeps nine, second to five, and pitches and Tony jumps back, taking inside, across the waist for the third ball and it's three balls and one strike on flat, three and one now.
There comes the first strike over the heart of the plate, weighs high, around to the second strike and it makes it three balls and two strikes on flat.
Play on the swing all the way that time, now we'll go after if it's anywhere near good, three and two, there goes the runners, five swings, a parable, back into the second deck, often through our right over here, and it still three balls and two strikes on flat.
Runners naturally were on the go to pick there, with a count of three and two and two out, first two men up there is anywhere, put out and then since then it's been one, two, three walks and three hits.
With the runner on the way again, the next pitch is right in as Tony hit him in the hand as it hit the end of his bat and went down into the stands over there and the runners have to go back again.
A walk there this time as he fell down to get away from the ball and hit the handle of the bat and see the hitter's finger, finger on his right hand, he rubbed it a bit, finally stepped back up to the plate, now it's still three and two.
And flat swings again to fall another one back into the stands back here to our right and it's still three balls and two strikes.
Three and two now on flat, White Sox runners on first and second, two out, four runs already home this inning and the White Sox leading the athletics 19 to five.
A little more touchdowns then I quite score.
And now flat swings in a high flyout, back of the plate coming down foul, catch a racing way back after it and he makes the catch for the third out after quite a run though.
Ending the last half of the seventh inning, in that half inning the White Sox had four runs, three hits, two men left on me and the score is 19 to five and favor the White Sox over the Philadelphia athletics at the end of the seventh inning.

Johnson White there while Merv Shea went out there to warm up the catcher. The pitcher is through, through his catching now.
Drew was going in to finish the game behind the plate and Johnson swings to the first pitch to hit a foul into the stand at the right of the plate or strike one.
One strike on Johnson throws a gun on the header, takes a wide low for a foul one and the count is one ball and one strike on Bob Johnson first man is back to the athletic in the eighth inning.
There's the next one for balls two is wide and it's two and one, two balls and one strike on Bob because he's right hand his header. He forgets the side again, he's winding up, throws and header takes a line inside for ball three and runs the count of three and one.
Three balls and one strike, swings the next one, followed on the ground back to the stand and it's three and two, three balls and two strikes on Johnson.
The next one to hit a ball on the right track if Peechie could get to down the hop, throws the first and Johnson is out for the first out in the eighth inning. One out in the eighth inning to the athletic and Higgins is at that.
Peechie Higgins up there to the plate, winds up, throws the first one, the high one wide for foul one, one ball called, on Higgins, one out of the eighth inning for the athletic and he swings in on the next one.
The next one, a beauty of the center field for a long single, throws the ball, comes in, steals it on the hop, throws it in the second base and Higgins is on first base with one out of the eighth inning for the athletic and Frank Hayes the catcher is at best.
Oh yes baby, athletics one, fifteen to eight, right now white starts are leading nineteen to five, kind of a series is this man, oh man. Now Dietrich throws the first one and it's wide across the way for foul one on Higgins, one ball called, throws the gun and strike over the outside corner about knee high, throws one ball and one strike on Higgins.
One and one to count, there's the next one inside for foul two and it's two balls and one strike on Higgins, one one is to count, throws the gun and Hayes swings in a long drive up, deep time field, throws and throws back there, went back too far,
hit the second step back in and reached down to catch that, well you almost went back too far on it, the ball was pretty well hit though and Frank a little faster than he thought it was going to.
So it's two out of the eighth inning for the athletic, Higgins is still on first base and Newsom is at best. Newsom up there at the plate, first pitch is the ball wide and low, one ball called.
Swings to next, it's a nine fly out, back to second base, and it's rolling over towards the shortstop and halfling comes in almost the infield grass to make the catch for the third out.
One hit, one man left John B, first half of the eighth inning and the score remaining is 19-5 in favor of the White Sox, they come to battle in the last half, the eighth inning, first White Sox hitter will be Frank Groove, White Sox catch it, broadcast the White Sox, Philadelphia game comes to you direct from Comiskey Park to home of the White Sox to Chicago.
As a presentation of your neighborhood, Texas Go dealer distributor of Texas Go, Fire Chief Gasoline broadcast comes to the commission of the White Sox and the athletics, the stimulated interest in our national game and in your own local baseball team.
WCFL to Chicago, Moss or Donnie Mann out to catch three athletics, give Hayes a little rest, and the pitcher's flight finishes his warm up out there, Moss throws the ball out to second base, and Frank Groove steps up there at the plate to start the last half of the eighth inning, Groove who went in to catch and play.
And the second base of Stull, he winds up now, throws in the hitter, swings in a boundary down to third base line, Higgins gets it easily, throws the first and it's one out of the eighth inning.
One out of the eighth inning for the White Sox, and Dietrich, the White Sox pitcher, gets a nice hand as he walks out of the dugout, up there towards the plate.
He'll do some relief pitching for the White Sox the other day, but this is his first start for them, and even though he's had such a good lead, he's hit good ball.
Right throws the first one and Bill jumps back, take a fast one inside across the waist, almost took the buckle off his belt.
One ball called, right again winding up throws, and here the swings are to miss the high fast ball inside for a strike, so it's one ball and one strike, one and one on Dietrich.
He's winding up the county throws, and the hitter swings, had a little looping fly out over the first base, went in, put his third base in the afternoon.
Stingled a right field by Dietrich, putting him on first base, one out of the eighth inning, and Rip Bradford, the White Sox lead off that and left the left back.
Rip, for all his big batting averages, had a tough day, scored three runs, made only one hit, and on base on an error and on a walk.
He scored all three times, he got on base many times, he played out three times, but he has only one hit, he had five times a bat.
And the first pitch to Ripper, is a strike over the outside corner of our waist high. One strike is a count.
Yeah, a fourth hit, you're right Andy, it's the fourth hit of the day.
I lost strike on one of those little scratch dribblers down there.
Right, the next one, the hitter swings and follows the ball back on the ground, and it's two strikes on Appling, two strikes to count.
I've got Appling at bat now, huh? Or I'm punchy, I'm telling you especially now, it's Radcliffe at bat.
Rip hits the next one, it's a ground ball, an easy one, down to the second base, and they turned it into a double play, a play going from Johnson to Newsom to Dean,
getting deep-dick at second and Radcliffe at first.
Run the eighth inning, no runs, one hit for the White Sox, and the score remains 19-5 in favor of the White Sox over the athletics at the end of the eighth inning.

The music is starting for flight, starts the ninth inning, right handed hitter, takes the first one wide for a ball, and here comes ball two,
high on the inside, so it's two and nothing, two balls and no strikes.
He can throw it again, and it's a high one wide for ball three, making it three balls and no strikes.
Now there's ball four inside, and he gets it based on balls, puts him on first base, with nobody out of the ninth inning,
and Teters was now playing left field as a best.
He had to throw in a nice one, but it was just his idea of trying to make the ball look bad and came right over the line of the plate for a strike.
And he swings the next hitter, bounce it down past third base ball, and it's two strikes, two strikes on Teters.
He throws again, and Teters gets a wide one across the way for the ball one, and the count is one ball and two strikes.
There he swings the next one, a high fast ball inside to miss it, and strike out for the first out of the ninth inning, bringing Moses the center fielder to bat.
He drinks out in the grass, looking north and boys over, and the seeding where they're playing, runs the ball up a little now,
and walks back out of the mound, and the first pitch is a good strike over the outside corner knee high.
One strike and a count.
The swing's connected, a bounce it down to Hayes, and gets it, throws it second, the throw is high, and in juggling the ball, the runner slides in safely.
And the half-ling seems to question that a little bit, and that'll be a nearer to second base on Hayes who made that bad throw.
Moses save the first on the fielder's choice, and Nemec save the second on Hayes' bad throw to half-ling, which Luke couldn't handle, and here, he has needed that, taking the first pitch inside for ball one.
One ball called, throws a count on the tip side, and goes for ball two, making it two and nothing.
The balls and no strikes, and the swing's connected, the drive out to right center for a good base hit, one run is going, the runner from first stops at second base, and it's a single center field just to the right of center field by Dean.
His third hit of the game, scores Nemec from second base, and moves the other runner to second base.
The runners are on first and second base, one run home on the ninth for the A's, and Fugginelli follows the first one on the ground to the right of the plate for strike one.
He throws again, and the header follows this one away down to right field line back into the plate, and it's two strikes on Fugginelli, two strikes a count.
He walks up on the slab again, and he's signed pitches, and it's ball one, high inside to make it one and two.
The swing's connected, the long drive up, deep right center, the right field of play is just back there, makes the catch, the runner at second base doesn't take a chance because I said earlier they need so many runs to get back in the game that they're not going to gamble away one run when they need a whole slot run to get anyway.
So it's two out in the ninth inning for the Athletics, still have runners on first and second, one run long, and Johnson of Johnson is a pass.
And the first pitch is a strike, one strike on Johnson.
He throws again, and Bob takes it inside and low for ball one, and the count is one ball and one strike.
He's back to the Athletics for the ninth inning, two out, one run home, and the runner's on first and second, white starts leading 19 to six, and the next pitch is ball two, a bad one, high inside, and make it two and one on Johnson.
He falls with one strike.
And he swings the next one, hit about it out, and the second runner is out there for the third out, being fourth to second base for the third out, ending the ball game with a white shot,
and the next one is by the left-sided score of 19 to six. In the ninth inning, the Athletics had one run, one hit, one error, and two men left on base, and the score at the final score of the summer race, white starts at 19 runs, 19 hits, 12 men left on bases.
The Athletics run, ten hits, three errors, and eight men left on the bases. Time of the game is two hours and eight minutes.
The winning pitcher was Dietrich, losing pitcher dog.
