catch by Roush saved him from sud
den exit
With Leibold out, Collins ripped off
his third hit, smoking line single
Buck Weaver followed with double
and Joe Jackson responded to the raw
ing chorus by lashing a line double
to right, scoring both men. Felsch,
one Of the goats of the series, popped
out to first, but Gandil then came
through with long drive to right
centre, just half way between Roush
and Neale. Neale, facing the white
light OF the sun, stood stock Still
valnly attempting to spot the ball.
But he never saw it until the missile
struck the ground and rolled to the
fence for three base hit, sending
jackson home. Risberg lifted a fly
to Roush, who, also bafAed by the
blazing sun, made bad mutf. Gandil
coming home.
This outburst gave the Sox four
runs. and when they came to bat
in the ninth Eller had lost his early
air of winning confidence. He ap-
peared troubled and depressed, and in
his great anxiety to get one by hit
Murphy for starter; with this break
the big crowd once again opened up
a, jubilee OF cheering, for the head of
the batting order was coming up.
Roush Makes "Flying Tackle"
Then came the star play of the hec-
TIC afternoon. Leibold crashed into
Ellcr's sinner and drove it on a low
line to the right of Roush in center.
1t looked to be a certain triple, for it
was struck off with terrific force and
was travelling for the open country on
beyond. Roush started after the ball,
and good ave feet away dived head
long as il passed, scooping the hit
up from the top Of TIE grass as he lit
upon his neck and rolled some ten or
fifteen feet.
This race catch held Eller in the box.
1t saved him from being driven from
the mound with nire-run lead to
work on and only two innings to go,
for Eddie Collins followed with another
clean hit. But Roush and his dare
devil desperate dive had cracked the
backbone of the rally He had checked
off the last headong rush the Sox had
to offer and had suppressed one Of the
gamest uphill fights on baseball record.
The last battle OF the overlong Sc
ries was a wild furry of hits, runs and
errors. The Reds ran up sixteen hits
for total OF twenty-one bases. The
sox hammered Eller for ten hits, yield
holds twent. six hits for thrty-eight
bases, including fifteen runs, offers
quite enough attraction for those who
esteem thc ringing blow and the merry
romD.
Sox Rally Arrives Too Late
Up 10 the fifth inning Tuesday the
SoX had put in twcnty-six innings
without 2 run. Their once famed at
tack had been crushed. Then they got
started, and in their last twenty three
innings they scored fourteen runs. But
their rally had arrived too late. The
Reds had obtained too great lead and
Gleason had no pitching staff left to
help carry his side safely through.
Take the case of Eddie Collins In
his first six games he drew but two
singles, in his last two games he made
five smashing hits, but he, too, had
started his rally too late.
The factor that beat the White Sox
to day was the sudden and terrific
@aw had drawn good rest and had
worked in two good games. If he had
been able to pitch even moderately
we'll his mates would have had fight
ing chance, but to-day he had nothing
nothing al all. His speed barely got
up to the plate, and when Daubert,
Groh, Roush and Duncan had finished
with hlm there was nothing lett.
Reds Earned Their Triumph
in this Wild and wooIly first inning
the Reds batted clean through the
list, every man getting a whack at the
ball before Eller finally flied to right.
The Reds undoubtedly earned their
triumph. They played the best ball
and produced the most effective all
around machine.
By the old order they would have
cleaned up the series ! games to !, and
under tho new order they won with
two games TO spare, so in winning
both ways they cut the last albi from
under the SoS who have nothing left
except to admit that the better club
got the winning end OF the purse some
thing like $4,000 to each Red And it
looks bit like long, hard winter
Just beyond the gray horizon.
Morris Rath, Eddie Roush and larry
closing spectacle, whereas the heavy
featured the play Of the Sos. Weaver
star, with Jackson. leading in offensive
spotty record Of few stars and mary
goats. the Red balance predominated
and it was Pat Moran. who proved that

individuals posing as separate and dis
tinct stars. 1t was q victorious finish
that Moran deserved as he takes his
established place as one Of the great
