Chicago, oct 3.-The Chicago
White Sox today served emphatic
notice that they were still In the
worlds championship contest by de-
heating Cincinnati, to 0.
The series now stands;
Cincinnati, ? Chicago, l.
Six more games are possible, unless
one of the contestants should annex
five victories without going the limit.
Dick Kerr who in his younger days
was something Of a boxer as well AS
a ball player in st. Louis, and who
came to the SoX from Milwaukee,
pitched unbeatable ball, allowing only
three scattered hits and one pass 70
first Kerr's home is at Paris, Ten
and he first played professional base"
ball at Paragould, Ark.
He made everybody sit up and look
at him today, for his left wing con-
taired more mysteries than sphynN.
Duncan Fisher, the Cincinnati pitcher,
who also hurled good game, and
kopf we're the only Reds TO obtain
bingles off the Texan, while his sole
complimentary passage to first was
granted to Groh None of these
ever reached third.
Attendance, $4,000.
Twenty-nine thousand persons,
which included band of rooters from
Cincinnati, saw the game, which was
played beneath a bright sun in tenn
perature which was ideal. There was
scarcely breeze enough to straighten
the flags which floated from innum-
erable staffs.
After the trouncing which the
American leaguers received at Gin
cinnati Manager Gleason felt par
ticularly gratified that his team was
the first to score a shut out. There
were a few vacant seats in the left
field bleachers, probably due to the
belief on the part of many that OBJ
tanning seats would entail too great
a struggle Ground rules were UNI
necessary, as the playing field every
where was clear, save just off first
and third base foul lines.
Fisher, who was Morans choice To-
today, was the first Highlander Of
fered by the Reds the first two
games having been won by Reuther
and Sallee, both southpaws. Fishers
hurting was as good as that of either
of his teammates, but one run NJ
least is necessary to win a game, ana
little Kerr had none to spare TO-DAY.
Fisher allowed seven hits and issued
two passes,
Wild Throw Helps.
Two of the Sox runs, however,
were largely chargeable to the Red
pitcher. for il was while his wild
hcave to catch a runner at second was
being retrieved that the first two Sox
were put In a position to score anu
Gandil drove them across the rubber
moment later.
Leibold was back in his regular po-
sition in right field and at the top
of the Sox batting list when piaV
ball. was called. Despite the inaus-
picious opening at Cincinnati, the
local enthusiasts were confident that
on the home grounds the Sox Wouia
exhibit the kind of ball that won them
the leadership of their league Ihere
was confidence, too, in the attitude ~
the players themselves, but no more
than that displayed by the Reds, Wh'
acted and felt like men OF oes-
tir"
The first inning gave every evi-
dance Of the alright struggle that
was to come. Rath. the first man
un contributed a grounder and was
mt out like a shot to Gandil. Daubert
cracked a hard one to Felsch, Kerr
nlanted his feet firmly and with beau
tiful control struck out Groh. The
local crowd breathed easier to note
how easily the mighty sluggers OF the
first two games were disposed Of but
their own side was as quickly disposed
of. Leibold sent liner to Neale, VINO
caught the ball off his shoestrinss-
Ed Collins was retired. shortstop tol
first, and Weaver popped out TO Dau-
bert,
