 The Quakers apparently were unable to solve Techs tandem formations, which the Jackets used repeatedly throughoutI the game. The Red and Blue accom- nlished four forward passes in the third quarter, but were unable to endanger the Jacket goal except once, when they

CICOTTE WORKED HARDER

Another unusual angle of the play was the fact that Cicotte was forced to Work harder as the winning pitcher than Sal lee, who went down to defeat after hurl- ing a creditable game in every respect.
 Analysis of the balls pitched indicated that the Giants kept Cicotte working harder than the latters teammates did Sallee. The tendency of the White Sox to hit anything that looked good instead of wearing out the opposing pitcher was illustrated by the fact that Sallee threw only S6 balls in eight innings. Cicotte' total for nine innings was 10l.
 Each pitcher was bit off in the third inning. Cicotte threw 20 times in that session, nine of his offerings being balls two clean strikes, three foul strikes, two fouls, one hit safely and three hit to flelders.

Inside the park the crowds overflowed bleachers and pavilions until the fans were rows deep behind the center field fence. Many of these had stood in line all night and had lined LID by thousands when the portals were opened early in the afternoon. By noon the last space was filled and the doors closed. After that hour the only persons to enter the park were fortunate holders of reserved seat coupons.
 The scenes among the fans were much the same as in all recent series. Flags were used for decorative purposes throughout the park, and there were the usual bands, singing and photograpning and movie camera operators who snapped and cranked their machines before and during the game.
