CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-Chicago tonight
once more is a pleasant place to live
in. at least for those who have to live
here. From the lowest depths of the
doldrums of defeat and a municipal
.grouch that overlapped into Indiana,
the baseballeans of the Windy City
this afternoon were transported to the
heights OF victory, exultation and
| hope that the Chicago club of the
American League may yet win the
worlds series.
After having lost the first two
games of the conflict for baseball su-
premacy in Cincinnati the Chicago
players came back to the native heath
with vim that spoke volumes for the
salubrious atmosphere at Comiskey
Park. The White Sox rose in their
true might and, with an all around
exhibition of the variety that had
won for them the American League
pennant, trounced the Cincinnati
champions of the National League by
a score of to 0.
With the Chicago triumph came the
worlds series history. His name is
Richard Kerr. little Dickey, il you
want to pursue the practice so usual
in baseball and become really familiar.
Dickey of the left hand did about
everything that he wanted to with the
helpless batsmen from Cincinnati. He
made them roll over, jump through a
series of hoops and say Uncle" sc
many times that even for the neutral
observer it became altogether too
monotonous. These Reds looked about
as much like the relentless, smashing
outfit of last Wednesday as a bean
shooter looks like a Big Bertha.
Kerr Yields 3 Hits, Gives L Pass.
| Kerr, little Dickey, of the five feet
seven inches, yielded the Reds only three
hits, every one Of them a single and one
of rather doubtful authenticity. Dickey
| went further than that. He had such
| splendid control that he handed out only
! one pass. He allowed only four Gin
cinnati batsmen to reach first base
Only one OF them got as far as second
| and nary Red had a chance to become
acquainted with Weaver at third.
Kerrs lone pass was wiped out i'm
| medlately by a double play. The left
! handler was pitching like a perfect ma
chine, and his teammates seeing at
! every moment the highly beneficent re-
| suits of a real reliance in the box
| played baseball which was In keeping
with Kerr's deeds of daring.
| For the vast majority of experts and
| other close students of baseball, Kerr's
| sensational entry into the company OF
| Adams, Reulbach, Plank. Mays and
| Ruether in the pitchers Hall OF Fame
came like a bolt out OF the blue. Ad.
vance calculations had decreed that
! Clcotte and Williams, who lost the first
| two games to the Reds, should be the
heroes. II Chicago heroes there were tc
