Errors Help SON.


 game, and against Cicoue it was pure battling.
 Errors Help SON.
 Infeld errors hy the Reds did give the White SoN two unearned runs in the fifth, as Felsch knocked in two runs after the side should have been retired. But there were two robust hits in the inning and the way Sallee was going it only was a question of time when he would get hammered out of the box.
 It was the first time in the series that the Cincinnati fielding began to show signs of falling off. Four errors were charged against the Reds, the most they have made in any game of the series. Jackson was caught be- tween first and second in the first in- ming, but ducked safely back to first when Daubert dropped Rath's short throw. Groh made a wild throw on Weaver in the fifth and Rath muffed Jackson's roller on the following play
 Even the sensational Roush got into the error column in the eighth when he dropped Risberg's fly. He recover ed it in time, however, to nail the SWede trying to make second base on the huff.
 There was little of the unusual in the way of fielding on either side. kopf ran out into short left in the eighth for a pretty catch on Gandil, and Billy made d fine stop in deep short on Schall a few moments later
 Daubert made a nice running catch off Risberg while hanging over a rail in front of some temporary boxes.
 Ed Collins Makes Fine Stop.
 Cicotte was so effective that he sell dom called on his tieders to help him out of hard chances Eddie Collins made several pretty stops, though two balls went through him, one of which was scored as a hit He made his best play in the seventh inning when, With Wingo and Rath on base, Dau- bert drove hot grOunder so fast that it took a hop after Collins stopped it, but he made a, quick recovery and and a fine throw to first The play was close, but Nallin gave it to the Sox, though Daubert raised quite q commotion over the decision
 The two Collins boys finally did a little hitting, especially Shano. Tn former articles it has been pointed out that the poor work of the Sox in the early games could be traced to the in ability of it's leadoff men to get on. In the first six games John Collins and Leibold, who alternate in position No. 1, had made one hit between them. and Eddie Collins made only two.
 John Collins broke out all over with base hits yesterday. He got three one of them @ double, while Eddie Collins got two singles and a sacrifice in five times up. From the time Shano Collins opened the series here a week ago, with a single off Ruether, no hit had been made by the player batting in the SoX. leadof position until the same John Collins drove a single to center yesterday for the first play of the game. That's a long wait between hits
 May Keep Collins Tn.
 Kid Gleason failed to shift Leibold yesterday after Luque went in against the SON, and John Collins, who has batted only against left-handers all year, made Chicagos only hit off the Cuban. That makes it appear that Gleason intends to keep John Collins in right field for the rest of the series and let him try his luck against Eller, Ring and Ruether, or whoever Moran will rest his hopes upon. Leibold, who had the best year of his career in the American league this year, has been the worst "bust' of the series. He has failed to make hit in 13 times up.
 The SoX are permeated with what Chica goans call the spirit of 1912. That is read to all Sox teams after things begin to break against them. That is the year that the Chicago Americans defeated the Cubs, who had been beaten out of the pennant by the Giants, in perhaps the most sensational inter-league series ever played It was the year in which the SoX played five games before they won a game and then took the series The first two games were ties and the next three Cub victories. The Sox then cleaned up four in a row, win ming the series
 Thero also is a parallel of a team winning out a world series with four successive victories after things looked very black for them. That was in 1909, the only other time that the champions of the two leagues tried a nine game series. Pittsburgh took the first game and Boston the second. Then the Pirates won the next '"o' SlNlIS them the DIE edge Of three to one. The Red SoX then won four straight, winning the series, five games to three.
 Also Similar to 1912 Series.
 The Giants also came near pulling out of the 1912 series, although under the old seven game system they would have required only three straight 10 have won. That was the only eight game series played since the National commission took charge and the se ries which held the attendance and cash records up to the present one.
 The Red Sox won the first game SncOnd
