hopeless White Sox of Chicago now

rifc series now sldinis four games Tor
Cincinnati and three FOR the Chicago
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 chance of victory
from what seemed certain defeat and
were determined that the eighth con-
test, played on their own familiar real
estate and cheered by their loyal fol-
lowing, will see the series tied up.
The serio-comic affair Of yesterday
was succeeded today by real baseball
The visitors earned two of their tall
lies by conscientious workmanship,
and this was enough to win. while the
other two counts came partly by
grace of Red errors. Four misdeeds
were charged against the Cincinnati
team, and but one against the Comis-
key entry.
Cincinnati trotted out pinch hitters
and pinch runners in desperate en-
deavor to come up from behind as the
Sox did yesterday, but all to no avail
Sox Play With Dash.
The Reds used three pitchers-Sal-
lee, Fisher and Luque, and another
pitcher, Reuther, 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 seven.
Eddie Cicotte. who was driven from
the box in the first game of the
series and lost his second game be-
cause his teammates could not hit
anything, came into his own in this
afternoons attraction. He exhibited
control. speed and judgment and his
comrades played with confidence
properly tempered and qualified by
recent severe lessons, and a dash that
reminded their clientele of their mid
season form.
The narrowing of Cincinnati's mar
gin of victories caused serious con-
sideration of the possibility of ninth
game. Cincinnati won the toss taken
Immediately after today's engagement
and the deciding contest, if Chicago
evens things up tomorrow will be
played here next Friday President
John A. Heydler of the National
league tossed the coin and Mr.. Herr
mann guessed it would be tails, and
tails it was.
Many Seats Vacant,
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 grandstands |
Usually the official attendance figures
are ready during the game. but a half |
hour after the last out today none
were at hand and it was announced |
that they would not be announced for |
an hour. Just what went wrong was
not stated. but ii was not because the |
crowd came too fast to be counted
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 sarcasm
at hand, played ''She May Have Seen
Better Davs'' and please Go Way and |
Let Me Sleep"
This did not impair the buoyancy Of
the slandered athletes who retailiated
without delay by putting a run over
in the first inning. 1t was John Col
lins. the first batter up who made the
count. He singled to center and went
to second on sacrifice by Ed. Col
Inns. 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,
