Weaver was first at bat in the tenth.
If a hero there was in this game 1t
was Weaver, who had hit safely in the
FIRST, had launched the great rally with
a two base hit in the sixth and now
was presented with another big oppor-
tunity for service to the Chicago cause.
And Weaver did not fail the Sox in
their moment of supreme need. He poled
a double to left field and men who know
the signs started to leave the stands.
Jackson sent a slow bunt rolling not
ten feet from the box and Rariden
moved toward the ball as If he had been
doubled up by sudden attack Of rheu-
matism. Before Rarlden could relay
the sphere to first Jackson got there
safely for a hit, while Weaver roasted
on third base, ready for a long fly to
send him in with the winning run.
FeIach Fails in Pinch.
To Felsch was delegated the task Of
sending up this fly. but he failed. Ring
mustered his every ounce of power and
cunning and succeeded In striking Felsch
out. but II was only lull. Gandil. who
all through the series had been unable
to hit with men on bases. suddenly
found himself and hit Rings fast ball.
He sent It Just beyond Kopfs reach for
a hit while Weaver came racing across
with the all-conquering tally. The game
had been won The Reds still had their
batting day, but the feeling was that the
result would stand. And 1t did.
Risberg followed Gandil with a liner
to Kopf. who jumped high in the air
and with quick throw doubled jackson
at second. Though they were defeated
the Cincinnatis outhit their rivals by
eleven to ten, and while the White Sox
were charged with three errors of COM
mission the Reds had nary an official
misplay chalked up against them.
The White Sox outdid the Reds not
only In errors that appear in the score
but In all sorts of dumb plays and bush
league developments which hardly did
credit to a former worlds champion
club fighting for another title The Sox
committed some of the most inexcusable
and most ludicrous misplays seen in a
worlds series game in all the years of
that classics history.
They may talk of Heinie Zimmerman's
chase after Eddie Collins In the 1917
series, but some of the stun called base

Reds AIsS Have Their Heroes.
Even In defeat the Reds had their
heroes. There was Earle Neale, who got
three base hit and two singles and was
the leader of the big assault which gave
the Reds two runs in the fourth. There
was Lewis Duncan, whom they call Pat
nai
two runs in the third. and who con-
, tributed two of the finest catches yet seen
on any field.
/ Let us not forget Eddie Roush: he got
only one hit. single In the first which
I did not do any particular damage, but
his work IN the outeeld was Of the finest
! variety. Time and again, he came
/ through with catches which converted
two base hits into outs. He was an ever
| dependable bulwark out there In the most
! important defences and nothing could
get by him His fielding thus far has
! been the best flashed by any man in a
worlds series
| Roush's catch of Risberg's low liner In
the eighth inning was the sensation OF
/ the series. Jackson and Gandil, who had
been passed. were on the bases and Ris-
berg smashed what looked like a sure
| scoring agent Into short centre. The ball
travelled low and with the speed of a
| bullet, and IL looked as IL there was not
one chance in hundred for Roush TO
get it.
But starting with the crack Of the bat
against the ball, Roush came careening
toward the spot where 1t appeared the
ball would fall safely. Roush just did
get the ball at his shoe tops and quick
as a flash he doubled Jackson at second
