two, Sallee was stoically putting the
ball where he wanted it to go. He gave
but one pass, and that resulted from a
laudable desire to make Eddie Collins
swing at bad ball in the second round.
Eddie refused to do so, and walked.
That was Sallee's last slip. From
that time on the old boy was pitching
into tin cup or hitting nail heads at
twenty PAGES. All through the fray he
looked almost as nervous as the Sphinx
or the mummy of Ramesis the Second.
Passes Turned Into Runs
Once again the Reds employed the
fourth inning to break up the battle.
With the game gliding smoothly along
and the steamy heat blistering beacher
necks, Williams walked Rath and
Groh. Roush then secured the first
Red hit, scoring Rath. With two gone
Duncan drew the third pass of the
fatal canto and Kopf followed with

Gated the works
lhose three runs were all that Sallee
needed. In the sixth Williams walked
Roush again, paving the way for an
other run when Neale singled with two
out.
The Sox had rare chances in the
second, fourth and sixth innings with
out being able to turn back Sallce and
rate. In the seventh, with one out.
they got two of the cheapest tallies of
the year. Risberg singled and Schalk

second, fooled his approach slightly.
and when the ball bounded away the
startled Sox at last were in possession
OF two queer looking runs that had
nothing to do with the final result of
the game.
The Sox looked to be badly beaten
ball club when they left the field. but
they have this factor still left. To-
morrow they start a three-dav stand
upon the friendly sod of home with the
South Side to help them from the rut.
They also get a brief respite from
left-handed pitching, as Moran will
with Dick Kerr.
The switch to facing right handed
pitching may easily lift a heavy
weight from Chicago batting eyes.
The sight of southpaw has now be-
come highly repugnant to them as
they have been southpawed to death.
Their inability to earn a run in eigh-
teen innings speaks quite highly of
sMoran's southpaw stable Just how
Pat can slip a right-hander by re-
mains to be seen.
Fisher and Ring are both in top
form, but they will face an aroused
combination tomorrow that is battlinp
with its back to the old home WALL
1T is no simple task to step into
another's bailiwick and chase him out
Yet in spite of this three-day stand
at home, the Sox cause looks des
perate. They now have to win five of
the next seven games to attach the
winners end, where the Reds need
only three out of seven, with a stout
pitching stable left. And the Reds
are IN natural state of highly buoyed
elation, absolutely confident now that
within the next four or eve DAYS thew
Will be awarded the chaplet of wild
magnolia blooms which the Red Sox
discarded this summer.
The Reds left for Chicago alert, con-
fident and on the drive The White Sox
left for home sulen, sore and ready
to begin their uphill fight. No one
mas ever yet accused them of quitting.
lhey have always fought back gamelv
and they still believe they can break
the spell upon the old South Side, get
going again, and throw the Reds into
panic.
Dick Kerr will carry their hope to-
morrow and the Sox midget is a cool,
game youngster who should go the
route. He isn't as big as q drink of
water. but for that matter Findenburg
IN physical stature lowered far over
Foch. And you know who got the win
ner's end when these two met.
The famed Sox attack has never vet
gotten under headway, and we should
say it was about due to break out and
start trouble.
The Sox made the mistake of trying
