CINCINNATI, Aug. 8. = Unable to
countsract the attack of the Rods,
which harmonlzed with Slim Sallee's
hitchings the White Sox were swept
INTO tie sea Of defeat again yesterday
afternoon despite their desperate ef-
forts 10 staye of the disaster Glea'
on,s players fought gamely, but the
istless motion Of the Moran Ma
chine which carried the Reds to the
remnant broke down every barrier the
American League champs could set up
Tie score was Alto 2, but Sallee, ike
Ruetiier, should have had shutout
victory.
Tile generalship Of Moran stood out
as prominently as 1t did in the open
clash. Realizing the attack OF
Chicago, piyots around the bats OF jos
Jackson and Eddie Collins, the Red
leader groomed his two southpaws for
he first two battles. recall Pat used
xactly the same pitchers in the first
aoubIes header Of the series with the
Giants IN New York. The Giant at
ack, which operates much the same
the Sox, was halted by the two
lanlsy sidewheelers, who turned in a
5air Of victories even as they have in
ne more important fight with their
iyals for the highest honors in base
ball.
The box score shows that the Reds
made only four hits, but the same box
score gives six bases on balls to the
National leaguers "A free trip to first
6ase is as good as a single and often
raises hob with the morale OF pitch
sr or his mates. Slim was found for
Zoo safeties, but he was Jesse Tan
1ehili with runners on the bases.
Opposed to Slim was Claude VIII
Jams, also a lefthander. The Sox
outhpaw seemed to have a nice curve
sail and good speed, but the Red
hatters were too smart for him. In
stead Of employing the first ball
methods that helped to bring about
Eddie Cicotte's downfall, the Reds
we're quick to grasp the fact that VIII
iams sense Of direction was dulled
and they hourished bats around the
plate, but didn't strike unless they
figured that hitting was the better part
BE judgment.
The fourth inning brought the wait
ing test for Williams and he could not
measure up. The Chicago finger was
coaxed out Of three passes in this one
frame, Larry Kopf putting the riotous
climax on the picture by hitting the
bail against the left field stands fof
three bases with a couple of dancing
baserunners awaiting the word to go.
Kopt has proved a fine emergency
man all year. Batting right handed

Larry shares with Eddie Roush and
Jake Daubert the honor Of being the
headline feature Of the second Red vic
tory. Norris Rath opened the inning
oy coaxing a pass out OF Williams.
Daubert sacTiIicet. He and also GToh
played the waiting game with the
pitcher. Groh walked and the crowd
pleaded with Eddie Roush to crack one.
hey figured that Eddie was just about
due; for his drives had not been ring
ing IN the customary Roush fashion.
Roush looked at two pitches and
both were balls. A base on balls
eeme1 Ia he the proper caper here
but Williams got the next pitch in
and then tried to shoot another
through the strike zone. Roush's bat
met the pitch In a snappy swing and
tle ball played q tune with the zeph-
rs over Swede Risberg' s head. 1t was

fialded prettily; but Rath was over and
