FROM THE BASEBALL CHRONOLOGY » September 7, 1901: The first-place White Sox dispose of slumping Boston by beating them 4-1 in a Saturday game at South Side Park. Nixey Callahan, enjoying his switch from the North side to the South side, is the victor over Ted Lewis. » August 28, 1909: In the first of two games at South Side Park, William "Dolly" Gray of Washington enters the record book by walking eight White Sox in the 2nd inning, with seven of the walks in a row (both ML records). The six runs scored are enough for a 6-4 Chicago win, although they manage only one hit against Dolly. Leading off the 2nd, Patsy Dougherty logs the only hit, and when he bats again in the inning, manager Billy Sullivan suggests he go to the plate without a bat. For Dougherty, this is the 3rd of four times he'll have the only hit in a game.
