Bisbee daily review., 1919-10-09

the recently dejected and all but hope less White Sox now consider them selves real contenders for the world: baseball championship.
 The series now stands four games for Cincinnati and three for the Chi cago White Sox. Tomorrow, weather permitting, they play in Chicago. The athletes of the pallid hose took the train, tonight jubilant at the manner in which they have snatched a chance of victory from what seemed certain defeat, and were determined that the eighth contest, played on their own familiar real estate and cheered by their loyal following will see the series tied up.
 The serio-comic affair of yesterday was succeeded today by real baseball The Sox earned two of their tallies by conscientious workmanship, and this was enough to win, while the other two counts came partly by grace of Red errors. Four misdeeds weer charged against the Cincinnati team, and but one against the Comis- key entry.
 Cincinnati trotted out plnch hitters and pinch runners in desperate en- deavor to come up from behind, as the Sox did yesterday, but all to no avail. The Reds used three pitchers -Sallee, Fisher and Luque-and an other pitcher, Ruether, appeared as an emergency batsman. Despite the ar- ray of hurlers the Sox accumulated ten hits, while the National leaguers were able to pole out but even.
 cicotte Comes Back
 Eddie Cicotte, who was driven from the box in the first game of the se- ries, and lost his second game be- cause his teammates couldn't hit any thing, came into his own in this after noon's attraction. He exhibited con trol, speed and, judgment. and his comrades played with a confidence, properly tempered and qualified by recent severe lessons, and a dash that reminded their clientele of their best mid-season form.
 The narrowing of Cincinnati's mar gin of victories caused serious consid- eration of the possibility of ninth game. Cincinnati won the toss taken immediately after today's engagement anu the deciding contest, if Chicago ovens things up tomorrow, will be played here next Friday. President T-l. ,f fhA league, tossed the coin and MT. Herr mann guessed it would be tails, and tails it was.
 For the first time in the series many seats were vacant, due, it was said. to the general belief, that seats would be difficult to obtain. Every body expected that everybody else would be ahead of them and the re- suit was a half crowd in the left field bleachers, many vacancies in those in the right and little unpopulated patches even in the grand stands. Usually the official attendance figures are ready during the game, but half hour after the last out today none were at hand, and it was an nounced that they would not be ready for an hour. Just what went wrong was not stated, but it was not be- cause the crowd came too fast to be counted.
 Stiff Wind Blowing.
 A stiff wind was blowing from cen ter across the plate during the strug- gle. When the Sox came on the field the band, which on the Red grounds always has some little musical sar- casm at hand, played "She May Have Seen Better Days" and Please Go Way and Let Me Sleep"
 This did not impair the buoyancy of the slandered athletes, wno retail ated without delay by putting a run over in the first inning. It was John Collins, the first batter up, who made the count. He singled to center and went to second on a sacrifice by Ed Collins. Weaver slammed the ball against the wind for an out to center, but Joe Jackson, who was desperate at having found no new lucky omens in the way of hairpins, singled to left, scoring J. Collins. Happy" Felsch also delivered single, on which Jackson took second. but Felsch was forced at second by Gandils bounder, ending the assault for the moment.
 In their half the home team took heart when Ed Collins juggled Rath S sizzling grounder. The crowd, which was less vociferous than usual, yelled for the aviator to come and meet the Sox going up, but it was a vain prayer. for Collins redeemed himself by going way back and taking Dau bert's fly, the mighty Groh struck ouV
