warded with worlds series victory.
At Redland Park this afternoon Eddie
won his second worlds series game and
bis first victory Of the 1919 series. He
defeated Slim Sallee, the veteran left
handler. against whom he won his first
world series game In 1917. when SAL

They started their attack with a rush
and soon they drove the lean Sallee out
Of the picture. They resembied the Sox
of the American League-the smuggling
biting team which made life SO miser-
able for the pitchers in the Junior major
league In short, they attacked Sallee
as though they knew they would beat
him
Cicotte did not pitch as effective a
game as he twiried in Chicago against

his famous three hit shutout against
him. Cicotte permitted five hits in that
game against seven to-day. though had

Inability to make Ivy wingo hit at
bad balls also caused Cicotte lots of
trouble. Wingo was constantly on the
bases and usually when Eddie was In

got on base four times in as many times

q single. At his present rate wingo
will leave this series with quite a bat

cracked out four hits in seven official

Routh and Hefnie Groh would give
something for such an average

he tried harder. Groh doubled into the
