The Chicago Cubs and White Sox played 25 City Series’ between 1903 and 1942 (not including their World Series in 1906). The first, in 1903 ended in a tie–both teams winning seven games before the series was forced to end because the player’s contracts had expired. The Cubs won in 1905 and 1909, but the Sox won 18 of the next 22.
The 1912 series began with a 0-0 tie. White Sox pitcher “Big Ed” Walsh held the Cubs to just one hit–a Joe Tinker double. Cubs pitcher Jimmy Lavender held the Sox to six.
The highlight of the game came in the second inning. With “Ping” Bodie on third and Rollie Zeider at bat. The Chicago Tribune said:
“Zeider took a spitter for one ball, then hit the second for a high bounder to (Heinie) Zimmerman. Bodie tried to score, but Zimmerman ran in stabbed the ball with his bare hand and got Bodie at the plate.”
The picture shows where Zimmerman was playing Zeider (B) and where he fielded the ball (A). Ping Bodie is tagged out by Cubs catcher Jimmy Archer.
The second game of the series also ended in a tie, 3 to 3. The Cubs then won three straight, but the White Sox came back and won four in a row to take the series.
The 31-year-old Walsh, who was 27-17 in 62 games (41 starts, 32 complete games) and 393 innings pitched, appeared in six games for the Sox, starting four. He would only win 13 more games over parts of the next five seasons.

“The Cubs won in 1908 and 1909, but the Sox won 18 of the next 22.” This should read, “The Cubs won in 1905 and 1909, but the Sox won 18 of the next 22.” The Cubs were in the World Series in 1908 against the Tigers.
This is a great website–I’ve enjoyed checking on the daily entries!
Thank you. I corrected the typo.
