Cincinnati. Oct. S.--Ffghting with
their backs to the wall but hopeful
despite their four defeats, the White
Sox met the Reds today in the seventh
game OF the world series. The Reds
and the $4,000 fans who Witnessed yes
terday's ten-inning battle felt that the
contest would be decisive one and
that before night the Reds would be
champions of the world. Before the
game started 1t was believed that
Manager Gleason would send Cicotte
to face the Redlegs. Cicotte tried
twice and failed, but Gleason has
every confidence that he can master
the Reds if his arm is in condition.
would be Gleasons eleventh hour
choice. Supporters of the Reds be-
lieved that slim" Sallee would be the
selection of the Reds. He won the
second victory of the Reds and is de-
clared to be ready for another turn.
All Cincinnati is getting ready to
celebrate the victory Of the Reds and
there was a wild rush to get tickets

Crowd Slow to Arrive.
The weather and the ball park look
ed natural two hours before the time
for the game. The crowds that usu-
ally packed the pavilions and bleach
ers was missing. The condition was
made possible by the late sale Of re-
served seats and as a general rule the
fans attempted to get into the box seats
before resorting to the bleachers or
pavilion.
At / o'clock Chairman Hermann. of
the national commission issued a
statement that he was sorry but he
had doubts about today's crowds ex-
ceeding $1,000 people. 1T is impossible
to handle such large sale of tickets
over night. I do not think the at
tendance will be more than $1,000"
Batteries were announced as Cicotte
and Schalk for Chicago. and Sallee
and Wingo for Cincinnati.
