The last time the White Sox faced the Red Sox, a promising series crashed to a thud when they dropped a doubleheader to close out the set at Fenway Park, followed by Buck Weaver and Fred McMullin getting served with arrest warrants.

This series at Comiskey Park continued that theme, minus the melee. The White Sox had gotten the best of Babe Ruth in their first two meetings, but this time Boston’s ace found a way to win. His offense spotted him two quick runs against Lefty Williams before he even took the mound, and he held off a late White Sox rally to preserve a 3-2 victory.
