brand of ball during the early innings.
He seemed to be having a bit of trou-
BILE locating the outside corner of the
plate at times, and he appeared to
check down his speed to gain better
control. Later when the White Sox
were leading he started to pitch and
put more and more stun on the ball.
So far as the naked and unaided eye
could discern he used neither emery,
hypnotism, or sweet oil on the ball.
1 saw only four balls that seemed to
sail or Slide" and one of those was
hit and hit hard.
Only Five Hard HIT.
In the entire game the Giants hit
only five balls hard and the White
Sox connected with eleven solidly.
The further Cicotte went the better
he got, and he finished breezlng along
and with each inning the New York
ers seemed more and more helpless.
Let us not detract from credit to SAL
lee. He pitched grand ball, the ball
that would have won the majority of
games from any team. 1t was evident
that he was not entirely familiar with
certain OF the Sox batsmen for he
mispitched to Schalk twice, to jack
son once, and to John Collins twice.
Bad men, those, for any left handler to
pitch wrong to.
There were three bits OF work that
counted. Kauff. who now stands in
danger of being the goat of this
series, made one. He tried to catch
low line fly before the ball hit the
ground, failed, and gave the White
Sox a run. His try was well made,
and whether with good judgment or

only run, and John Collins fierce hit,
followed by Mchullin's single, and in
the next inning Felsch's home run,
yielded their two for the White Sox.
Neither team had any other legiti-
mate chance to score although a
base hit would have upset things on
three occasions. While we are dis
tributing the medals to Hap Felsch
let US not forget the real hero. one
Eddie Cicotte. When 1t was put up
to us to dope out the difference in
strength between the two teams We
reached a stage where 1t became evil
dent that the only real difference in
strength between the two teams was
contained in Cicotte. Whereupon
many major league players bawled
me out and hooted.
Experts UneOuvIneed.
Men of the class OF Jawn Evers and
Fred Mitchell pooh-poohed and de-
cIared that what the Giants would do
to Cicotts would be a shame. We
refused to be convinced, because IL
was our theory that brains plus skill
and nerve, beat almost any kind OF a
ball team.
Yesterday Cicotte demonstrated
that fact Among other things he
made Holke look like a busher by
grabbing him fiat-footed off first
base, and later, when there still re-
manned q glimmer Of hope that the
Giants might win. Cicotte made the
unsalted and much advertised B.
Kauff look foolish by catching him
of nrst and wrecking the final hope
of the Giants.
Cicotte did not pitch his very best
The Washington times., 1917-10-07
TERRIFIC DRIVING REPRESENTS DIFFERENCE in
PLAY OF CONTENDING TEAMS in TITLE SERIES

not is not to be settled by me. He
made a good try.
Later IN the game, in almost the
same situation, Jackson faced the same
play. He hesitated, seemed inclined
to stop and take the ball on the
bound, which probably would have
given New York a run, and possibly
two, then started again, dived and
came up with the ball The two plays
really settled the issue: one man got
away with 1t and the other did not,
which represents the difference be-
tween a hero and a dub in this pas
time.
The game indicates that this series
Is going to be one of the fiercest in
baseball history. The Giants are not
licked yet, although that first game
means much. II you follow the dope
you will discover that In twelve
worlds series the team winning the
first game won the series.
These Giants, however. are not
beaten. 1t is indicated now that the
White Sox will slam their pitching
rather harder than We figured, and
q is certain that the Sox will tight
harder than we ever had known them
to do. Men like McGraw, however.
and Herzog and Bu-rs are not beaten
by one game. The Sox will beat
them, but hey will die fighting.
Today we are to have a new show,
with Faber and Perritt hooked up.
The dope still stands that Faber will
shut out the Giants and win ? to o.

GRFF GIVES HIS SEAT
TO ALTROCK AND WIFE

CHICAGO, Oct CLARK Griffith,
not sit in his box to see the opening
clash of the 1917 series. Instead he
occupied a berth among hundreds Of
soldiers In the rightheld stand and
was perfectly satisfied, too.
Griffith was approached by Nick
AItrock- the American Leagues
greatest comedian. for assistance in
landing a place for Mrs. Altrock and
himself.
Here, Nick, take these seats in my
box" replied the Old Fox. "Tll sit
out in the rightfeld stand with the
Fort Sheridan soldiers. They're all
friends of mine and 1 won't be lone
some"
Griffith was given a wild reception
by the khski-clad clan as soon as he
was recognized.
The only things bothering Co
miskey were the ceaseless demands
for tickets he couldn't grant and his
decorations. The "old Roman" was
inquiring whether everybody thought
he had enough flags out.
Eddie Cicotte insists there amt no
such animile as the "shine ball"
Benny Kauff and Heine Zlm are offer
ing a reward for some one to tell
them what It is.
Manager Rowland declared after
the game that CIcotte had pitched
better games than that of yesterday
and that he expected him to do better
the next time out.
After Happy FelBch laced his
homer into the bleschers, John Col
Inns kissed him. Hap blushed.
