Chicago of Chances

Jimmy is tho lad who has been ac-
oused of using liquid soap on the ball
with intent 10 deceive.
The playfulncss which was shown IN
the Collins incident was said to be
part Of some strategy arranged 70 get
the goat of Mr.. Eddie Collins. Jimmie
smith. who has hard head and won
derfUl fow Of language of a sort un-
dcrtook to disturb the cquanimity OF
the cox second haseman. He did not
al InJfvId puB 7pqns qons 6u1 lo7dNs
tort a. a wad OF gum. Consequently
Smith seemed to have the worst OF It.
Chicago Spirits Revived
The revival Of hope in Chicago was
shown by the spirit with which the
Comiskev band "Sousa-ed' itself
round the weld. The slide trombone,
however. was suspected Of Cincinnati
lcanings. as the notes which he put INTO
the horn came out pretty sour.
Early interest ccntcrcd IN the warm
ing I'D Of Monsieur Fdouard Cicotte.
ON the condition Of his arm Of soup
bone depended the outcome OF the
game and the series, according TO ex-
pcrts. Every game has been Of the
"crucial" variety TO date.
when the Sox took the field for their
final nroctice this afternoon there was
the nearest thing 20 burst OF spon-
tanoous enthusiasm that has accrued IN
tho current series. In the meantime
Young jimmy Ring warmed up under
the paternal gas Of Pat Moran.
It began to cloud up at o'clock and
the skies became overcast, Loca5
weather sharps started 70 bet tnht
there would be a shower before tht
came was over The park was hlled
when Cicotte shot the fret bail across
to Rath.
Rath depressed the Chicagoans when
he started with a choppy single TO
RICH. field Jake Daubert rolled one
down 20 Collins, who shot the ball over
to Risberg. The Sox shortstop passed
TO Gandil. and completed the double as
the stockyards' choristers roared win
glee. Groh popped out TO Risberg ana
the roar Of relief was lifted again.
Ring Full of Confidence
Jimmy Ring faced the Sox with all
the confidence in the world. and had
the first three batters Just hosting
themselves out. Weaver was the only
one that hoistcd himself out of the IN
field.
In the second inning Cicotte's soup
bone semed 10 be working with oml
nous smoothness. He had Rousn ana
Duncan trying for altitude records and
he made Larry kopf SWING himseH ou'
at the sinner.
Gleasons cautious brand of strategy
stopped more than probable run for
the Sex in the second. II was the same
Art o. strategy that has been making
the series monotonOus 20 date. But L
seems to be G.cason's strategy for TINS
encounter and he is going 70 stuck 70 II.
Shocless Joe Jackson. who has been
hitting consistently and luckily from
the start. opened the inning with
Texas Lacquer to centre field. Roush
made a dash in for il. but II dropped
several yards ahead Of him. and Joseph.
the Shoeless, took two bases on II.
Then came Felsch, the most danger
Gus hitter in the lineup, whose life IN
the series has been soured b. being
continually called upon to sacrifice.
Hap the unhappy for once more
son. who was coaching at third, for
permission to bust it out Of the lot to
end the ball game then and there. But
Hap's head dropped and he became
Hap the unhappy. for once more
Gleason crimly gave him the signal for
a bunt The bunt was duly lald down
20 Ring, who pcgged to Ra,h. Jackson
took third.
Risberg Steals Second
Gandil hoisted one right above the
plate and Heinie Groh came IN and
took IT, Rings confidence began TO
oozc out I'm strcaks and he passed Ris-
berg. Risberg made dash TO second
and made it, Schalk was passed p.ur-
poscly and the corners were crowded.
With the count three and two. Ci-
cote poked one down to second rs the
parade on the bases started. Rath
tossed the ball to Daubert and the
first chance Of the Sox TO score at least
one run was tossed 10 the stock yards
zcphyrS.
The Sox assumed mcnacing atti-
tudc again IN The third when Ring
bcaned Collins Eddie reached second
when Weaver rolled out 20 Daubert.
This brought up Jackson the slugger.
His presence so annoyed Rath that he
muifcd an easy one which put Collins
on third. Jackson al first and Felsch
at the bat. a situation fraught with
mclodramatic possibilities. But Fclsch
was thrown out by Hcinic "The Groh."
BY the time It reached the fourth
inning the thing h"gan 20 look like a
pitchers duel between Ring and Ci-
eOttc, and Clcoffc seemed 20 bOk like
the Cicottc that Won twcnty-cight
games in tho long long season Mon
sicur Cicottc who had brought nothing
with him 10 Cincinnati, seemed 70 have
everything with him on the home lot.
The breaks and crashes came in the
fifth and II began 10 look as though
Monsieur Cicofte had tossed his own
game away. With Roush out. Pat Dun
can bounced thc ball from Cicottc's
glove. Cicottc picked II mp ncrvouslv
and shot ~ wildly toward Gandil. The
ball whizzcd through first and Duncan
was on second before Schalk. who had
come to the relief Of Gandil could get
the ball over TO Risborg
Cicottc Srols Out
Larry Kopf shot short clean hit to
Jackson. The shoclCs ou'fcldcr feldcd
IL well and thrcw 20 the irfeld, holding
Duncan az third. But Cicotte reached
for the bal. and detected l. in its
course TOW ard Schalk. The ball rolled
20 the stands and Duncan scored.
Then Greasy Neale fooled the shoe
less one. He hoisted the ball over
Jacison's head for Il two-bagger. Kopf
scored.
Cicottc's error in fac. and error in
judgment splashcd the stands with de
preston. II was no time for a veteran
20 display nervousness. The Sox slug
gers gave Ring cause for worry In the
giXfh. but the fielding Of the Reds
