Bisbee daily review., 1919-10-05

banks of the Ohio. Chief MOran'S
red-legged National leaguers today
defeated the Chicago White Sox n
the fourth game of the series. 2 to o.
The path ahead of the American
leaguers is strewn with rocks, broken
glass and sown with Canada thisties
in the view of followers of the game,
for they must win four of the remain
ing games to win the bunting, and
dare not lose two, and in the opinion
of unprejudiced persons it ought ~
be very easy to drop a brace to cruz
going like the Reds have been.
Today's defeat was a sore blow TO
the locals, for they had hoped thai
as the Reds had won two straight
games on their home grounds, the
Sox would do likewise. The to 0 win
of the locals yesterday reused enthu-
siasm to a high pitch and the attend
ance today, 94,96S, heaviest of the
series, attested the aspirations of the
Chicagoans.
Eddie Cicotte, who was driven out
of the box in the opening game az
Cincinnati, where he suffered the
most humiliating defeat of his career,
elected to retrieve his renown today,
but while the held the Reds to five
hits and issued no passes, two Of
those hits came in one inning, and ne
himself in that inning punched two
errors, which proved costly.
Ring Allows Three Hits.
The regular order of things brought
Jim Ring into the pitchers box for
the Reds, but the fact that he allowed
but three hits, which were as scat
tered as soda fountains in the Sahara,
was somewhat marred by the fact
he passed three Sox batsmen on wi0e
ones, and hit two others. The fieso-
ing back of him was nothing short
of superb. Every Red was on tiptoe,
vigorous, confident and aggressive.
They brought down long, hard flies N
a way to discourage all opposition,
and fielded the ball with the greatest
dash and brilliancy. This was pa
ticularly noticeable in thesecOnd and
third innings, when it was question
whether the big right handler wouso
collide with the aviator who was per
forming above or join the list On
baseball idols which Garry Hermann
is offering his layol following in Cyn-
cinnati In the opinion of those who
claim to be able to read the psycnrc
reflexes of diamond athletes that
aviator will lead lonesome life IL ne
waits for J. Ring.
The day had been hot up to the very
moment that the announcer, having
parked himself on second base, an
nounced with marked formality that
Mister Nallin, Mister Quigley, Mister
Evans and Mister Rigler would do the
umpiring and vendor was shouting
that you couldn't tell the umpires
without a program but at that mo-
ment, as if someone had opened an
ice box, there was a cold blast which
remained throughout the rest of the
day, and spectators quickly hustled
back into their coats and reaffixeu
their collars The bleacherites tore
paper and tossed it into the breezs
until it looked like a snowstorm.
Cicotte Cheered.
Cicotte was cheered as he walked
to the mound, more in hope than e4-
pectation, and there was noticeaDse
silence as Rath, the first man mp,
singled to short left. Daubert, how
ever, hit into a double play and Ris-
berg went out and played left field
long enough to gather in Groh's ex-
aggerated pop.
1t was one-two-three in the So& |
half also, with Ring showing world |
of speed, which kept the Sox popping |
up so fast that it looked dangerous |
for the aviator, who rarely went from |
the field. Liebold, first up for the |
Sox, sent up a high one, which DRIFT |
ed in the breeze so that Daubert was
kept hopping backward for some time |
before he grabbed it. Collins popped |
up to Rath, while Duncan raced back
and gathered in Weaver's long fly "a, |
brilliant fashion.
In the second Cicotte' twisters |
couldn't be kept on the ground. Rousn,
Duncan and Kopf flying out in order
In their half the Sox appeared more
threatening than at any other period.
Jackson, who regards hairpins as the
ultimate in bringing good luck, car
ried four new ones as he came to bat,
and the hairpins delivered a clean
double to center. Felsch sent him 60
third by the sacrificial route and the
stands went wild with delight. Gan
dill, however, retired on a fly to Groz.
Then Ring did one of two things-he
either became wild, or played BIT
of the most daring strategy, for he
walked Risberg and Schalk. filling the
bases This brought Cicotee to the
plate The crowd generally COM
mented that it was his opportunity
to win his own game, but his swing
caught the ball far up the hanGe
and he was out at first, thus dissolv-
ing one of the locals two chances to
score.
