CHICAGO, Oct. Out beyond Ci'
cotte's steady pitching, there were two
great PLAYS which completely throttled
the Giant assault in the game here
to-day.
In the fourth inning Dave Robertson
stepping into one of Eddie's shoots
rammed a line drive over Eddie Col
Inns into right centre. The ball was
hit with terrific force, and as Robert
, son is one of the games fastest sprint
ors. a home run or a triple looked 10 De
Immediately impending. Shane Collins
started for the fence, but Oscar felsch'
cutting straight across. snapped up the
ball at top speed and by fast, accu-
rate throw, held Robertson at second.
Game Saved in Seventh
But the play that saved the game for
Chicago came in the seventh. Inc
White Sox were leading, 70 |, at
this iuncture. when Holke singled with
one out McCarty. who had struck OF
a triple, despite his lame, limping leg
in his last time up, followed with a
line drive TO left that swept out low
and clean with terrific velocity
Joe Jackson, playing deep, took the
chance that wins or loses. Jackson
rushed in saw the drive was about TO
huttcr by and then Owed headlong,
landing on his shoulder as he scooped
the hit from the top OF the sod. II
was the same sort Of play that kauiF
missed in the third inning on McMul-
lin. but a miss here would have netted
the Giants two runs, with Holke on,
ready for the sprint around.
II is by these SUDDEN shifts that we'll
pitched ball games are won and lost.
Take the incident relating TO Benny
Kauf. In the third inning. with one
out. Cicottc singled TO centre. Shane
Collins. the batting star of the day,
then peeled of his second blow, drive
20 right. Cicotte, turning second,
halted and faltered for a moment, and
a few strides later was shot TO death
by Robertson's long, accurate peg, Col
Inns romping on 10 second McMullln
then tapped a low line drive to centre.
Collins Scores First Blood
kauf charged in, failed TO bring up
the ball, and Collins scored first blood
as McMullin reached second. That was
Chicago's start.
The full tide came her way in the
fourth, when Oscar Fesch decided TO
experiment with John Franklin Bakers
renowned Invention. Felsch waded into
one Of Sallee's drifts. and, after TAX
ing a to,-hold, hammered out u mighty
wailop TO left. The ball. starting high,
looked at first like any ordinary fly.
But the Frank Baker idea was back OF
the punch. As the white missile swept
on out IL became suddenly APPARENT tina,
this was no ordinary blow. Burns and
kauff, who had been playing deep,
moved on back until they were abruptly
halted by the left field seats. At this
barrlcadc they waited in detected att
tudes while watching the ball drop
safely in, far beyond any human reach.
So Baker, pet theory, for the third
or fourth time, had been indicated.
He should have no trouble, after all
this proof, in getting out a patent and
disposing of his wares.
Chicago's defence was not the \soie
feature Of the game. Back Of Sallec
Buck Herzog gave battle with his old
fashioned fire and skill. Buck took a
short fy over his shoulder in the first
with run coming over. Knocked down
and killed base hit in the seventh and
later on blocked off McMulin on q steal
and rode that athlete 70 the bag.
