The fans of the White Stockings are frustrated with the way their team has suddenly found their strongest form when they are out of the pennant race. The team won 18 of the 27 games played during August. This has lifted them up to 3rd place in the AL table 25.5 games behind the leaders.

There was mixed news from the treatment rooms for the White Sox in August. They managed to see First Baseman Joe Quinn return to action after his injury lay off. This was countered by the loss of Centre Fielder Charlie Duffee for 2 weeks when he strained his achilles tendon. Centre Fielder Len Sowders saw his season bought to an early close after he broke his hamate bone in his wrist. This will sideline him for 8 weeks.
Third Baseman Denny Lyons put up some solid numbers in August. He claimed 37 hits from 102 at bats in 27 games. He scored 29 runs with 16 RBI's for an average of .363.
