It was a mixed month on the injury front for the White Sox. The team managed to get Third Baseman Denny Lyons fit early in the month but lost Second Baseman Danny Richardson at the same time for 2 weeks with a mild side strain. He returned towards the end of the month. The team also suffered a blow to the rotation as they lost Bob Emslie late in the month. He will be out for most of the rest of the season after picking up shoulder inflammation which will see him sidelined for 3 month.
While the teams form was up and down during the month, one star continued to put in the performances. That person was Short Stop Jack Rowe. Rowe picked up 42 hits from 107 at bats during his 27 games. This led to him scoring 19 runs with 20 RBI's for an average of .393. These figures were good enough for the AL voters to award him the Batter of the Month.
