Pay Tribute to Kerr
Just before the game q delegation of
Texas oil men presented Kerr with d
gold watch. Charles Comskey has
bought q collection of gold cyanide
of potassium TASKS for the rest of the
team, but did not make the presenta
lion to-day. The ceremony will be q
private affair, with flowers omitted.
1t looked as though the Reds might
crash right through in their half of
OF worlds series in most abrupt
fashion. Duncan rolled one down to
kisberg, who was ever eager, and the
oall rolled on as it hoped right over
his hand. This disturbed Kerr some
what and he could not get them over
for kopf, who got his base on balls.
Greasy, Neale tried to send them
along with sacrifice, but Kerr got
the ball on the bound and threw to
Weaver, forcing Duncan. Rariden
forced Neale. 1t was up TO Ruethe1
who broke un the first game OF the
series with swats that shook the sur
rounding hills. But the best tnat
Ruether could do at this point was to
have himself thrown out by Kerr.
Ihe Clncinnatiacs were nervous and
munched their pick pigs feet ap-
prehensively in the third. when Schalk
started out with base on balls. kerr's
sacrifice put him on second and the
Collins family had their great chance

Rescued by Pat Duncan
Eddie drove one to left field and it
looked like a double or better, but Pat
Duncan, the best late season find of
Pat Moran, came scooting in and caught
it before it fell and produced the
ominous thud that seemed imminent.

We're ringing with the Caledonian name
OF Duncan once more in the third inn
ing. 1t was Herr Patrick Duncan who
drove IN those two ruas in this session,
with smashing two base drive to cor
tre field. 1t was Jake Daubert, the
rabbit Of the 1916 worlds series, who
started the kick that found the vital
spot beneath the toga of the Old
Roman
. Jake connected for & hit to right
field. Heinie Won der Groh struck out.
Seeing that nothing was liable to hap
pen, Jake dashed to second and made
1t with dashing hook slide Kerr
began to wabble and hit Roush in his
pigs knuckle container.
Then came Duncan, the Caledonian
Hlbernian Rhinelander, with the WALTON
that did it. Herr Patrick Duncan plas-
tered the ball to right centre. 1t

Roush scored.
Ruether Makes Timely Hit
Kerr, who had the Reds so bewildered

all in the fourth. Neale plastered him
for three -bagg-r. Wild Bill Rariden
was thrown out by Eddie Collins. Then
came Ruether the ruthless, the pom
derously plastering Californian. He
raped two bagger Just inside third

down to Risberg, who aimed at third to
shut off Ruether. The ball nit Ruether
on the shoulder and rolled along
through the lnheld, while the CalifOr-

once into the life of every world
series comes The chance for a hero
whose name will be clipped in gilt
letters in the archives. Ruether went
wi9d for the time and passed Risberg
and Schalk. Kerr beat a tricky and
lucky hit to short, filling the bases.
There was the cue for hero and big
chunks Of melodrama, but it did not
come. John Shane Collins hoistcd one
TO centre, but it was too short to score
even one run.
Then came Eddie Collns's chance to

was doubled sleeping somewhere be-
tween first and second. He was sleep

Ruether exploded in the sixth with
detonation that plastered the sur
rounding hills with fragments of the
cheese-fed Californian. and the first
'dol OF this series was junked. The
game at this stage looked like a spring
