Cincinnati, Oct. as.@The Chicago
White Sox did not dare lose Tuesdays
game, for with it would have gone the
championship, SO they overcame
lead of four runs and by delivering
one more tally in the tenth round,
won the game, five runs to four, from
Cincinnati.
1t was a contest replete with thrills
and heart-breaks. varied by some
weird fielding. snappy base running,
mighty clouts, mad catches, and, in
short, practically everything relating
to baseball.
Cincinnati looked like a certain win
ner in the third and fourth rounds. in
the course of which four Redlegs

ever, the Sox turned two passes and

major factors in the three runs which
| tied the score. To Buck Weaver
sterling third baseman, who welded
| a mighty stick in the game, fell the
distinction of recording the winning
| run in the tenth. He was the first
man up and doubled to center, his
second two sacker of the game. The
| partisan crowd became hushed and
then began to chant encouragement
to Ring, who had displaced Reuther
as pitcher for the Reds. jackson
| tried a bunt and missed, but on sec
ond attempt the ball dribbled few
feet down the third base line, and,
while the ball was perfectly fielded,
| Jackson crossed the initial sack with
time to spare. Weaver landing on
third. Happy Felsch. who had de-
| Iivered a double in the sixth. struck
| out, but Gandil, who had previously
delivered nothing, singled and Weaver
scored.
Reds Were Confident.
| In their half of the tenth the Reds
| went out in order and the day closed
| with the series standing four victories
for Cincinnati and two for Chicago.
| The Cincinnati team entered the
Ifield confident that they had so
drubbed the visitors that the last
ounce of fight had departed from

the forenoon and they came on the
field looking desperate rather than

American leaguers. The crowd gave
him rousing welcome, but altho he

by Manager Gleason and altho eleven
hits were registered against him. he
