Shroud in Mystery
Pitching Selections
For Seventh Game

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 7.-Pitching
selections for the seventh game OF
the worlds series scheduled for Red
land field tomorrow were shrouded
in uncertainty tonight, but it was
generally believed that Manager
Gleason of the Sox would send Ed
die Cicotte although beaten twice.
against the Reds in a determined ef-
fort to again turn the tide Of defeat.
Slim Sallee, who defeated the
Sox to 2 in the second game of the
series, probably will be Manager
Moran's pitching choice, although he
may decide to give Luque, the Cuban
twirler, a chance to face theS Chica-
goans. Sallee was batted hard in
the second game, the Sox getting 10
hits, but only succeeded in scoring
two runs.
"Today's game was a heartbreaker
for the Reds to lose" said Manager
Moran tonight. 1--WE should have
won it half dozen times. But the
strain of the worlds series is begin
ming to tell on my players and they
were bit unnerved. But they will
regain themselves tomorrow and
wind it up. }
Kerr pitched better bali than
either Ruether or Ring. He demon
strated his gameness when he
pitched himself out of a couple Of
tight places and got some erratic
support. 1t is possible that | shall
start Sallee against the Sox tomor-
row."
"The Sox have hit their winning
stride and although tremendous odds
are against US, we are far from out
of the race" said Manager Gleason,
The players have begun to hit and
it will be different story from now
on. They slammed everything Rue
ther and Ring had today and will
do the same thing to Sallee if he
starts tomorrow's game.
Despite the fact that breaks went
against us, we played better brand
of ball than the Reds. We should
have cinched the game in the eighth
only for Roush's lucky catch of Ris-
berg's liner. 1t would have gone for
a double sure and we would have
scored two runs.
Il am proud Of Kerr's pitching
He possessed extraordinary pitching
skill and remarkable gameness.
Il have every confidence that Ci-
cote can beat Cincinnati and may
start him tomorrow if think he is

suade the umpire that Ruether de-
liberately interposed his shoulder to
defect the ball. A moment later
Rath, taking advantage of the mo-
mentary decentralization of the Sox,
stole third. Jackson ended the trou-
bic. for his teammates by brilliant
running catch of Daubert's short fly
and throw to Schalk which killed
Rath, who was attempting to score
on the out.
Chicago's first evidence of a re-
turn to form came in the fifth. Rue
ther was unsteady and walked Ris-
berg and Schalk. Kerr beat out
hit to short, filling the bases. ].
Collins lined to Roush, but the ball
was caught so close in that Risberg
made no attempt to score. Ed Col
Inns, however. came to the rescue
with long fly to Roush, on which
the Sox shortstop scored. At this
point a serio-comic bit of base run
ming was produced. Roush threw to
third ahead of Schalk, who. however.
managed to scurry back to second.
Kerr, meanwhile, had trotted down
to second and seemed not to com
prehend what was happening when
Schalk came tearing back. He stood
still while Groh, shouting madly to
someone to take his throw, finally
ran UP to the unprotesting Kerr and
tagged him for the third out.
Drops Long Drive.
In the Reds half of the fifth, with
two down, Duncan reached third
when Felsch dropped his long drive.
but he died there, as Kopf was in
tered. Risberg to Gandil.
In the sixth the Sox did their first
clean consecutive hitting of the Sc
ries. Weaver poled short double
just where there was no one to reach
it and flashed across the plate mo-
ment later on Jackson's single.
Felsch, who already had a single to
his credit, doubled, scoring Jackson.

SIDELIGHTS ON
GAME.

Cincinnati, O., Oct. THE sew
enth game of the series is scheduled
for Redland field tomorrow. The
eighth game, if necessary, will be
played in Chicago Thursday.
There was a rush for railroad Of
fees after the game today, to can
eel reservations for tonight. Hun
dreds of Chicago fans, believing that
the Sox still are in the race, decided
to remain over.
! Trying to see the game for moth
ing was costly to Samuel Lowry, a
Cincinnati youth. Lowry was astride
a telephone pole just outside the
park viewing the contest, when he
lost his balance and fell to the street.
His left leg was broken.
Cincinnati had preparations made
for a huge celebration tonight. The
| bands and red fire will be brought
out tomorrow night if the Reds are
victorious.
Thousands of fans unable to gain
admittance to the park swarmed
around newspaper bulletin boards
down town and cheered whenever
the Reds made hit or scored a
| run. There were groans from the
crowd when the White Sox were
flashed the winners. -
A novel serenade was given by
the band just before the start of the
contest. After each verse or cho-
rus of a popular song the bands
men would shout the name of a
Cincinnati player, and then render
more music in his honor. Thou
sands of the bleacherites joined in
the chorus.
Clarence Rowland, whom Glea-
son succeeded as manager of the
Sox, occupied a seat in the press
box and rooted for Sox victory.
When Gandil came to bat in the
tenth Rowland made the prediction
that he, would hit safely and break
up the game.
Roush, the sensational Cincinnati
outhelder, robbed the Sox OF a vic
tory 'the eighth, when he picked
Risberg's liner off his shoestrings
after a thrilling running catch, and
doubled Jackson at second.

box, and J. Collins started the game
in right field for the Sox, but was
displaced in the seventh by Liebold
as Ring, right handler, was
pitching.
The stands were packed when J.
| Collins, the first of the Sox bats
men, faced Ruether. He popped a
high one which Rath captured way
back of second base, surrounded by
Neale, Daubert and Kopf, who had
! journeyed from their respective sta
tons, as it might have belonged to
any of them. Ed. Collins hit vicious
ly for an out at center. Weaver's
grass cutter went through Kopf,
but Jackson made the third out with
another pop-up.
In the Reds half Groh doubled
after outs by Rath and Daubert.
Risberg at short juggled Roush's
grounder until the runner was safe
but Groh overran third and Rsberg
threw to Weaver for an out.
Forced Out at Third.
The feature of the second inning,
otherwise unadorned, was tfle force
out Of Duncan at third. Duncan got
life on Risberg's tumble of his
grounder. Kerr became unsteady
and walked Kopf. Neale grounded
to Kerr, who ignored the batsman
and snapped a high one to Weaver,
who, however, trapped it in his un-
gloved hand and caught Duncan.
Rariden then tapped one to Ed Col
Inns, whose throw to Risberg killed
Neale at second. but Kopf reached
third. The mighty Ruether. whose
great batting in the first game was
remembered with cheers by the
crowd, responded with an easy out,
Kerr to Gandil. In this inning
Schalk walked and was sacrificed to
second, but got no farther.
In the third the scoring began.
Rath was retired, E. Collins to Gan
dill, and Daubert singled to right.
He stole second, Groh famed and
Roush was hit by pitched ball.
There were now two on bases and
the crowd began calling for run.
Duncan responded with a terrific
double between ]. Collins and
Felsch, which scored Daubert and
Roush. amid tumult in the stands.
Kerr looked worried, but the strain
on him was relieved by Kopf, who
sent an easy one to Felsch in cen
ter.
One Useless Single.
One isolated and useless single
marked the Sox's half Of the fourth.
In their half the Reds accumulated
two more. Neale sent one to right
which took an eccentric bound and
J. Collins cut across the field after
ii and it rolled on for a triple. Rari-
den was an out, E. Collins to Gandil,
Neale being held easily at third.
Ruether then measured up to the
crowds expectations by doubling,
sending Neale across the plate. Rath
hit to Risberg, who attempted to
catch Ruether going to third but the
ball caught the runner in the back

they came on the field looking
desperate rather than hopeful.
Dutch Ruether, who became local
idol by his great pitching and per-
feet batting in the first game of the
series in which Chicago was humili-
ated, 9 to |, trotted out to deliver
the coup de grace to the American
leaguers. The crowd gave him a
rousing welcome. but, although he
held his adversaries hitless during
the first three innings, experts
noted that the Sox were slugging
him savagely into the outheld, or
sizzling them down the foul lines
in a way that was not present in
the first game. There were none
out in the sixth when Manager
Moran, more in sorrow than in
anger, beckoned him to the bench
and Jim Ring, a right handler, who
pitched the Reds to 2 to 0 vic
tory at Chicago, was called on to
save the day. He was wild, but
effective until the tenth, aided by
some sparkling fielding.
Dick Kerr, who pitched Chicago's
only previous victory, to 0 shut
out at Chicago, was again called
upon by Manager Gleason. and, al

Gus KERVARAS
SAYS LONDOS IS
NOT CREEK CHAMP
Returned Overseas Soldier
Declares Pesek's Opponent
Usurped Position When
He Went to Front.

1t is a timeworn adage that one
Greek will stick to another through
fire, water and gas. But this time
worn adage has been. shot full of
holes by Gus Kervaras, Greek wres-
tier, who is making Omaha his
home. ...
1t all concerns the Pesek-Londos
wrestling match which is to be
staged at the Auditorium Friday
night. Gus, despite the fact that
Londos is brother Greek, is pull
ing for Pesek to win and is un-
ashamed in shouting his perfidy to
the world.
Scouts Londos' Claim.
For Kervaras scouts Londos'
claim that he is the Greek cham
pion. Two years ago, when Kerva-
ras was in his prime, Gus carried
the words Greek wrestling cham
plon" on his own billing. And Gus
claims that is just what he was and
submits for exhibition a scrapbook
OF many pages to prove his conten-
ton.
Then the United States entered
the war and Kervaras entered the
army. In less than two weeks after
the day of his enlistment he was on
his way to France, where he served
throughout the war in an artillery
battery, taking part in every big bat
tie in which American troops were
engaged.
While Kervaras was in France,
Gus declares, Londos cannily
swiped Gus title. Kervaras claims
Londos merely appropriated the
championship and become recog-
nized as such because he himself
was not in a position to dispute the
alleged interloper's claim. S..
Pulling for Pesek.
In word. Kervaras is very un-
friendly toward Londos. He won't
even speak to Jim, and he is pull
ing for Pesek with all his might.
When Jack Lewis, promoter of the
60, invited Kervaras to occupy
Posltion IN IondoS corner, Gus hit
the roof. He shouted Greek cpl
thets for 20 minutes, and then sput-
tered another 20 minutes before he
became sufficiently calm to translate
them into English. -.
"Londos is not the Greek cham
pion," declares Kervaras. "I'm the
Greek champion. and if could get
that Londos in ring I'd prove it,
too. But he won't wrestle me. Ask
him and see. He knows what I'll
do to him"
But Pesek will get him." con-
tlnued Gus, with a CLINT of triumph
IN his eye. "Pesek will murder that
Greek. John Pesek is the greatest
wrestler in the country today, and
he'll fix Londos. And I'll be there
to cheer him on
