Game 1 - Comiskey Park
D.Newsome vs Dietrich
Red Sox 12, White Sox 5
The slumping Sahx hopped a Pulman and arrived 18 hours later in the Windy City to try and get back on track. After ceding the Pale hose a 4-1 lead Dick Newsome and the boys were all business. 2 runs in the 7th knotted the game up at 4 all. Then in the 6 the lumber came back to life in the form of 6 big runs all with 2 out. An RBI triple by Dommy DiMaggio got it rolling. RBI doubles by the Splendid Splinter and Lou Finney were key. A homer by Joe Cronin put it out of reach. Dick Newsome, who gave up 5 runs on 11 hits went the circuit. Catcher Pytlak paced the Bosox with 3 hits. Double X received 3 walks ahead of the Spliter who plated him twice.
GAME 2
Wagner vs V.Kennedy
Red Sox 7, White Sox 0
Charlie Wagner gave up just 4 hits while tossing this nifty shutout, however he did walk 5, which made for some interesting jams that he had to work out of. Chicago was just not able to land the big hit to punish Charlie who walked the tightrope for 9 innings. Rookie Bobby Doerr slammed the door shut on the Pale hose with a 3 for 3 day, including a solo homer and 3 RBI's. Stan Spence and Skeeter Newsome made rare starts and held their own. Double X was given the day off to help clear his trouble sinuses. For the second straight day the Sahx were able to avoid using their pen, which desperately needed a rest.

GAME 3 - Fenway Park
Lyons vs Grove
Red Sox 15, White Sox 6
Just a few years ago this would have been a pitching matchup of aces that would have sold many tix. By this point Lefty Grove was on his last legs and holding on to get to his 300th win. Lyons was going through a rough patch where the gloves and bats behind him were in capable of allowing him just the slightest mistake. Both guy got off to an inauspicious start yielding 5 runs each in the opening frame. Both managers, not wanting to go to their respective pens this early, left their starters for for another 6 innings. Grove, who gave up a solo run in the 2nd was then spotless for the next 5 innings before he hit the shower. Lyons was not so lucky. Ole' Ted gave up 13 runs (11 ER) in 7 innings. Boston's bats were hotter than than the Hindenburg and way more explosive. The Sahx scored a total of 15 runs in 18 innings. Double X, returning from his much needed day off, was 4 for 5 with a double, triple and 2 HR's. In a rarity he was just a single shy of the cycle. His young running mate T.S. Williams (.388) was 3 for 4 with 4 runs scored and 5 RBI. For good measure he hit 3 long balls to outpace his friend and mentor, Jimmie Foxx. With the series sweep Boston slugged themselves back into contention.
