In the first game of a twin bill at Boston, White Sox pitcher Jack Harshman set the franchise record by striking out 16 Red Sox. Harshman, a converted first baseman, was taught a “slip pitch,” a variation of a palm ball, by manager Paul Richards. Harshman got the win, 5-2. The White Sox ended up sweeping the doubleheader taking the second game, 4-2.
