tie Heinie made his second hit of the series yesterday
 For the first time in the series Pat
 Moran's managerial strategy was open to criticism. 1t became evident early in the game that Ruether was
 far from being in the form he dis
 played when he opened against the , SoN here last Wednesday. He was constantly in trouble with batsmen, and only great Outfleld catches were saving him. With a three run lead 1t looked as though it would have been
 wiser to have sent in Ring at the start of the sixth inning. rather than to have waited until Weaver. Jack son and ITelsch had cracked out hits. Of course Moran was actuated by sentiment. Ruether had been such star in the opener that he wanted to give the young lefthander the ignom- lny of taking him out. Besides the , SoX were going so bad up to that time that it looked certain Cincin- nati would get another bunch of runs
 later in the game.
 1t also looked as though it would have been good baseball to have em- pIoYed pinch hitter in the eighth With one out, kopfs sharp liner went directly at Kerr, who put up his i hands in self-defense and held the ball, but it hurt one of his fingers and for several minutes it was un- certain whether Kerr would continue. Gleason had sent James out to warm up ln the event that another pitcher l might be needed.
 It was obvious that Kerrs hand palned him quite severely For a few 1 moments he was upset. Neale lined single to left and Rariden bounced another off kerr's glove. As Fisher was warmed up, it would have been
 good move to have sent in a pinch
 hitter, either Ivy Wingo or Sherry Magee. Ring is a joke batsman. But Pat let Jimmy hit and the Brooklyn boy quickly forced Tariden at second. A lot of people around here think that the Sox bruisers finally have started and that their wrecking crew
 now is likely to make a lot of trouble before the series is over Sallee is to try his hand against Eddie Cicottc
 again. It may be recalled that they
 met twice in 1917.
 l. Eddie won the first game, to 1, hut in the second, Faber, who finished,
 was given credit for the victory. Cicotte showed a splendid game when he pitched against the Reds in Chicago last Saturday, and with any kind of hitting behind him he should win. It doesn't seem probable that a pitcher of CiCOtte's ability, capa b le of winning twentN-nine games against the tough opposition in the American league, would lose three worlds series games.
 Big Crowd at Cinci. Garry Hermann after the war
 prices for baseball caused a crowd of day to contribute to the club coffers $1O1,70S, a sum never before equalled in baseball. Each contestng club
 was enriched $22,SS4,3O, making the total profit for each owner $109, 9,667.52 for the six games.
 If the Chicago club should win to- ! days game and make the eighth nec- cssary, each clubs share would eX- 1 ceed the record purses of $147, 571. 70 l that the New York and Boston man l agements received in 1912, this in | spite of the fact that 45 per cent of 1 the receipts of every game after the 1 fifth goes into a pool for the other ! fourteen major league clubs, which was not the case in 1912.
 The pool for the outside clubs amounted to $45,76 50 yesterday, each of the fourteen owners earning $3269.19.
 Fewer people will witness this 1 series, even though it should go eight games, than paid to see the Red SoN
