dangerous for the aviator, who rarely

backward for some time before he

Rath, while Duncan raced back and
gathered in Viewers long fly in
brilliant fashion.
Three Reds Fly Out.
In the second, Cicotte's twisters
could not be kept on the ground,
Roush, Duncan and Kopf flying out
in order. In their half the Sox
appeared more threatening than at
any other period. Jackson, who re-
CARDS hairpins as the ultimate in
bringing good luck, carried four
new ones as he came to bat, and
the hairpins delivered clean dou-
bic to center. Felsch sent him to
third by the sacrihcial route, and
the stands went wild with delight.
Gandil, however, retired on fly to
Groh. Then Ring did one of two
things-he either became wild, or
played a bit of the most daring
strategy, for he walked both Rls-
berg and Schalk, filling the bases.
This brought Cicotte to the plate:
The crowd generally commented
that it was his opportunity to win
his own game, but his swing caught
the ball far up the handle and he
was out at first. Thus dissolved one

Another Opportunity Comes.
The next opportunity came in the
succeeding round. Liebold lined to
right along the foul line, but Neale

was unable to produce hit and
another local hope was inferred.
The Sox never threatened again:
Groh made a wonderful stop OF
Collins hard-hit ball and Liebold
was run down between second and
third. Viewers out ended the
rally. Thereafter Ring held the
game in the palm of his hand, with
his fingers crossed. He allowed
one more hit in the sixth, base on
balls in the seventh, another hit in
the eighth and his last pass in the
ninth, but these outcroppings lacked
that relationship with their kind
necessary to produce runs and new
er gave the Reds a moments worry.
Win in Fifth Inning.
The story of the Red victory be-
longs to the fifth inning alone. In
no other round did they get a run
ner past first. Sharp fielding, CT
cotte's sterling pitching and two
sharp double plays tell the story OF
the innings other than the fifth.
Rousch Started this inomentous
round by dumping the ball in front
of the plate, and was out at first on
a hair line decision. Duncan bounced
an awkward one toward Weaver and
Cicotte grabbed it, but in his haste
threw fathom or so over Gandips
head. That started the debacle.
Schalk, who gets into nearly every
play, retrieved the ball, but Duncan
was safe on secondA The timeliness
az xiie Reds hitting, in evidence in

won, was again in evidence. Kopf
singled to short left, Jackson taking
the ball on the bound as he ran

plate. Jackson threw perfectly for
the plate and it looked like GER

by reason of his previous error,
seemed out for an altitude record,
