New York Responds to McCarthy's Challenge
Yankee infielders lead team to win over White Sox, 7-1

White Sox....... 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 - 1 7 2
Yankees........... 1 0 0 1 1 4 0 0 x - 7 10 1

The Yankees took Skipper Joe McCarthy's challenge to heart, beating the White Sox by playing typical Yankees long ball. The surprise, however, was who hit them. Rather than Ruth and Gehrig, the "usual suspects," it was infielders Frank Crosetti and Tony Lazzeri, and pitcher Red Ruffing who hit three solo homers for the home town team.

Crosetti has been particularly desperate for a spark. He was hitting a mere .159 entering the game. His lead off home run in the bottom of the first seemed to snap the Yankees out of the haze through which they managed to sleep walk through in their 1-3 home stand against the lowly St. Louis Browns. Red Ruffing pitched a complete game for the Yanks. Ruffing (3-1) had a strong outing. He surrendered only 7 hits and 3 walks in 9 innings seeing his ERA drop from 2.12 to 1.88. New York banged out 10 on the afternoon. The loss was charged to George Earnshaw (2-2). He served up 3 gopher balls in 6 innings. With this win, New York has an 8-12 record. They have been 4-6 lately. With this loss, Chicago has a 5-5 record of late, 9-8 overall.
