! CHICAGO. Oct. 3.--The scene Of the
worlds series struggle between the
Reds and White Sox shifted to Comiskey
/ park today where the third. fourth and
/ fifth games are to be played.
/ Flushed with victory in the hrst two
4 games and confident they can clean up
/ the Sox In straight games now. the
| Reds arrived this morning full of ging
er. They came like conquering heroes
and far they are all Of that.
sox's BACKS TO THE WALL.
The Sox rallied the Reds into town, de-
termined to fight tooth and nail to on
set the triumphs OF Pat Moran's sensa-
tional ball club. They will face the
Moran men on the South Side this after
noon with their backs to the wall and
they mean TO fight TO a finish
Lefty Kerr, tho surprise pitcher Of
the Sox star this season. will probably
be sent to the hilltop by Gleason. The
Kid had seen his two star hurliers-
Cicotte and Williams-battered into sub
mission BY the National league cham
pions. He had banked his hopes on
these two hurlers and now his pitching
STAFF weakened, he must trust much 20
little Dick Kerr and 10 luck.
RoD WILL GET A CHANCE.
Pat Moran is expected TO give Hold
Eller a crack at the Sox today. The big
right handler is ready to start and look
ed like tho logical selection. The sue
cess OF the Red southpaws in the first
two games may influence Sir Patrick to
send Reuther back at the Gleasonites in
the third game.
The late Harry Pulliam. formerly
president Of the National league once
said:
Take nothing for granted in base
ball"
Just how true those words rang out
has been wildly pictured in the winning
OF two straights by the Reds. Cincin- (
natl has proven rather conclusively that 4
the dope" Is very often the bunk. /
for on dope" the Sox figured to win
The writer would not be surprise TO see
the Reds mop UP now in FIVE straight 1
games and unless Kid Gleason and his
boys can dig up something to wreck I
Moran's heavy freight-train. IL viii
surely run them down in jig time.
Sox DESERVE CREDIT.
The Sox deserve credit for lighting.
They are a game bunch and have taken
their two defeats like real fellows They
stood IN their positions in the first game
like helpless kittens while the Reds
murdered the offerings of Eddie Cicotte.
In the second game they saw Lefty vii
liama contribute TO the second victory
of the Redville aggregation by handing
out bases on balls In the fourth inning.
Strangely enough the fourth inning IS 4
big inning for the Reds. 1t has been SO I
in the first two games.
The vaunted hitting power of the SoX
in the pinches has been noticeable for /
its absence They have felded well and
have fought we'll but they have with /
cred under the scorching wizardry OF
Reuther and Sallee failing 10 come
through with sadly needed hits. The
Sox cannot say they had no chance 10
win yesterdays game for in at least
two innings they could have made the
Reds feel their power had they delivered
hits in the pinches.
xoPF'S STAR PLAY.
SO far two players-both wearing the
regana of the National League-have
covered themselves with glory. Reuth-
er's great pitching and sensational hit
ting him the honors IN the first game.
Larry Kopf's timely triple with two run
ners on the paths in yesterdays game
was the rap that brought victory 70 Gin
J.
out Of the ordinary. though he must be
given great credit for the way he handl- |
ed himself at critical moments.
Chicago fans. taken back with sur
prise at the treatment accorded their
idols By the Redville gang will turn out
IN force today to see how 1t is done and
to root for areversal OF form on the
part of the South Siders. ComisIsey
Park seats 900 people and II IS pro-
dicted that every seat will be full when
the teams square away for the third
game
There IS but one thing at may be
said of the series TO datc-it is won
derful and brilliant triumph for a great
and game bunch Of players.
REDS IN WONDERFUL GAME.
The Reds deserve all the credit. Some
sox synlpathizers may say that.
Moran's met got the breaks in the sec
ond game. But il is the rule that he
breaks go to the stronger team and me
Reds have proven their worth
Gleason will probably send Cicotte
hack into the fray tomorrow. He be-
1,e,,os that the master of the shine ball
viii win if he faces the Reds again. SO,
il case tho Sox should rally and take
.odav,s game with Kerr or one # the
ether burIers on the mound Gleason nes-
mos that he can even matters UP with
the Moran men.
The confidence that comes with vic
! tory. however. Will give the Reds
weighty advantage. Already game 70
49,, 800 thav now appear to have
the sox at their mercy. They will be
harder ball club to beat today because OF
| their successes.
