1t has been proved that lefthanded
pitching can hold the Red pitchers
pretty well in check. The chances are
that Williams will have better control
when he takes another wllck. and be-
fore the Series Is over it may revolye
into a lefthanded series as was that of
last year, when Vaughn and Tyler dfd
all the pitching for the Cubs and Babe
Ruth worked in two games for the
Ated Sox.
To-moTrow's game may prove the
most vital one of the Series Cicotte
will try to make a comeback for the
SoX, and Eddie is most anxious to have
another crack at the National League
champions. Theer is talk around here
that Cicotte's arm is through. The
story Is that he worked so hard this
season that ne put more OF a strain on
his precious wing that he knew.
When he rested up for a short time
before the series the arm stiffened on
him and he is unable to get his old
jump on his ball. American League
players here, such as Speaker and Chap
man OF Cleveland. say that Cicotte had
nothing last Wednesday and did not
pitch the way he has been doing in the
American League. Fisher the Red
pitcher, also noticed that Eddie used a
different motion from the one he en-
ployed when Ray was in the American
League
Just why Hold Eller is being held
back by Moran is not quite clear. Dur
ing the season F'itchburg Pat used Eller
more tnan any other pitcher on his
staff Hold warmed up under the grand
stand all during Wednesdays game and
It was confidentally expected he would
be on the slab for the Reds to-day.

great harm. 1t may prevent the Cincin-
natl players from getting too cocky. II

FELSCH RECORD HOLDER.
Happy" Holds Mark for Putouts
in Centre Field.

CHICAGO, Oct. Oscar Happy"
Felsch, who played centre field for the
White Sox against the Cincinnati Reds
to-day. is the holder of a record for
major league centre fielders. On June
20, 1913, while the White Sox were
playing Cleveland Happy accented
twelve chances without a slip. Eleven
or his chances were files and one an
assist.
Jimmy Slagle. while playing right
field for the Chicago Nationals in 1897,
made twelve putouts, and this is the
record for all outfelders as far as put
outs are concerned.
In 1877 Schafer who played right
field for the Braves, had seven putouts
and four assists and Hornung. left
fielder for the same club, gathered t.n
putouts and one assist in 1881. O'Brien
of the old Metropolitan had eleven put
outs In 1887, but made an error Dick
Harley OF the Cardinals IN 1918 had
eleven putouts and Topsy Hartsel. while
with the Cubs in 1905, grabbed off the

Cincinnati Fans Alarmed Over Batting
Slumpo of Reds; Get Only Hits in 2 Games

Reds fans are alarmed over the bat
ting collapse of the team in the last two
games. Only seven hits have been
made by Cincinnati IN the last two
games, just one-half the number that
the Reds got in that terrific opening
inning assault against Cicotte, Will1in-
son and Lowdermilk:
At the time we predicted that Glea-
sons lefthanders would stop that
wholesale Cincinnati hitting, and further
called attention to the fact that Dau-
bert and Neale, who with Ruether were
the smuggling stars of the first game.
would be stopped by Williams and Kerr.
This prediction has more than been
fulfilled. Daubert has been completely
stopped by Williams and Kerr, while
Neale got one hit off Williams yesterday
after he had missed two pitches by the
proverbial baseball mile. Greasy was
easy for Kerr. Roush, another left
handed hitter. has made only one hit
in three games, though Eddie has three
bases on balls and a sacrifice. His
fielding also has been one of the sterling
features of the series. However, the en-
tire Cincinnati outfield had a soft time
of II this afternoon, as neither Duncan
nor Roush handled fly ball and Neale
got only one putout. That was on the
first White Sox batter up. Leibold
caught one on the seam and sent in
on a low line to right field. 1t looked
Ike sure hit, but Greasy came in fast
and took the ball off his shoe tops.
After that he turned a couple of somer-
Sd uits but came UP with the ball. and
Nallin, the first base umpire, ruled 1t a
fair catch.
Internationally White Sox chances
took quite a jump to-day. AS mentioned
in our screed yesterday, the White Sox
are tough babies on their own lawn.
or sixty-six games played at Comiskey
Park this season they have won 81, a
percentage of nearly 800 at home.
Things break much better for them with
the friendly White Sox crowd In the
stands than when they wander away
from their South Side Heath. In the
1917 Series they won all three games
played in Chicago with the Giants.

TICKET SCALPERS JAILED.
Prisoners Accused of Selling mt
500 Per Cent. Pront.

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-Twelve alleged
ticket scalpers were arrested in down
town hotel Hobbies and at the Comiskey
Park to-day accused of selling seats at
a profit as high as 500 per cent. The
ARRESTS were made by Internal revenue
agents and their deputies.
One of the men arrested was said to
have a block of tickets which cost him
s49,50 and on which he realized $3.50.
Spectators thronged the hotel lob
bies during the morning selling box
seats for three games with a face
value of $3.50 for prices ranging from
$40 to SIS.
The specific charge to be preferred
against the scalpers involves their fail
ure to register as ticket brokers. Fed
eral war tax regulations permit ticket
spectators to realize a profit of so
cents on each ticket, but all profit above
this amount must be divided equally

Ill Feeling Develops Among Players;
Jimmy Smith Clashes With Eddie Collins

Among the days many developments
was the first outcropplng OF rancor be-
tween the rival players. The first two
games had been surprisingly free of Ill
feeling. To-day the strain began to
tell on both teams. on the Reds in de-
feat more than on the triumphant White
Sox, The first passag e at words came in
the fifth inning. Eddie Collins, who has
done nothing thus far to get his name
into the headlines. was an easy infield
out. and as he passed the Cincinnati
bench some of the substitutes said nasty
and cutting things to him. Collins
stopped for only a moment to pass the
time OF day" The White SoX fans
roared derision at the Reds. The fight
was on in earnest.
A second outburst came in the eighth
inning. As. the White Sox were coming
in from the field Jimmy Smith, the sub
stitute Cincinnati infelder. who once was
a Giant and who has altogether too
much to say for man of his baseball
calibre, delivered divers stinging re-
marks at Collins. They closed. and II
looked as If Smith had swung at the
Chicago star But players OF both teams
stepped between them, and with the
help OF the umpires restored order and
again sent the game on its way.
Again the fans roared at the Reds.
Had the White Sox been trailing along
for a third defeat II is highly possible
that with the fans so near to the play
Ing area and Smith, a good time would
have been had by all When Daubert
fell over Weaver at first base some
minutes later there were more words OF
the torrid variety.
Crowd DisappOints.
The crowd, which numbered 29.120,
was disappointing in its proportions
The receipts. $50, 569-not n bad showing
for a baseball game-but a far bigger
turnout had been expected and prepara-
tions had been made to handle about
$4,000 spectators. Big gaps showed IN
the bleachers, particularly in right field
Evidently many a fan had figured that
his presence at the game would provide
only another spectacle OF the third
straight defeat of the White Sox. and
rather than be party to such an event
had stayed away, but regretted his faint
heartedness when he saw the results
on the many bulletin boards throughout
the city.
Kerr started In first class fashion
Rath was offered a strike to bite at to
open the conflict. Then came a foul
strike and on the third pitch Rath hit
to Risberg who threw him out with neat
ness and despatch Daubert flied out to
centre and Groh famed on four pitched
balls. This young man Kerr evidently
had something and the fans began &c

sox Try the Squeeze Play.
The Sox then tried the squeeze play.
Schalk hunted the first pitch as Risberg
came tearing in, and the ball spurted
from Fisher for an infield single, the
Swede scoring without play being
made at either home or first base This
ball should have been handled by Fisher,
and he showed his annoyance when It got
away from him.
Joe Jackson is keeping up his terrific
humping. Joseph failed to do anything
to Ruether in the first game, but he has
been giving Moran's pitchers some pretty
rough treatment since. He got two more
hits to-day, giving him five In his last
seven times up. Hap Felsch, his fellow
clean up man. has not yet whacked his
way into the hit column, though Hap has
been hitting in horrible luck.
1t looked as though Gleason used bad
judgment In not letting Jackson hit in
the third inning. Ed Collins opened the
inning by lining single over Koprs
head. and on the hit and run Weaver
cleaved a single to centre. Roush's fast
fielding held Collins at second.
Jackson then was ordered to sacrifice,
and he hunted a little fly owed Fishers
head 1t looked for a moment as though
1t would fan safe. but Daubert charged
across the infield and took the ball on
the fly about four feet in front of Sec
ond base. Felsch's hot shot to Groh was
then converted into a double play.
Heinie certainly doesn't show any bad
effects from that broken finger.

GrOh's Fielding Sensational.
Chicago would have scored more runs
on Ray but for some sensational field
ing behind him, especially by Groh.
Hennie Groh lived up to his title of the
best third baseman since Jimmy Collins.
He handled seven chances, and some of
them were pippins. He made a grand
stop on Leibold. with runners on second
and third in the second inning, cutting
off at least one run. Another grand
stop on Felsch in the third inning started
smart double play which turned back
the Sox run1esS after Collins and
Weaver had opened with singles. His
best effort, however. was reserved for
the seventh. when he cut in front of
Kopf for Risbergs slow hopper and got
his man at first
Another splendid Cincinnati fielding
play was made by Daubert on Eddie
Collins IN the eighth. Jake knocked the
ball down on the foul line, and Luque,
who pitched this round. completed the
play by a smart catch at first of Dau-
berts quick throw. Eddie isn't getting
many hits in this series. At the end of
three games he has made only two sin
giles, one of them an inheld fuke. Ed
die will have to steam up In the remain
Ing games If he hopes to compile any
kind of batting average in this series.
In many ways Chicago's scoring was
