CINCINNATI, Oct 2.-Still riding the
high wave of baseball fame and for
tune, and baslxing more than ever be-
fore In the warm smiles of that tickle
dame whom men call Luck, the Gin
cinnati club scored second victory In
the world series this afternoon. The
champions of the National League de-
feated the Chicago Americans by to
in a contest which was crowded with
stirring moments and in which the
ever pressing White Sox were con-
ceded to be very much in the running
More than 80 600 persons who
jammed themselves into Redland Field
were favored with a contest which was
rather singular in world series history.
They saw the Chicago batsmen outhit
the Cincinnati club by 10 to 4. They
saw Harry Sallee, the long, lean left
handler who pitched for the Reds, get
himself into critical situations time
and again.
And time and again the Cincinnati
partisans were hurled into the widest
of frenzy as Sallee. through some mas
ter stroke of his arm or his baseball
wise head. some great bit of play by
his teammates, or the timely interfer-
eHes OF Dame Fortune, cxtr.cated him
self from his acute distress and went
merrily along the broad highway of
success.
Claude Williams, the lefthander,
pitched for the White Sox, and while
he was largely to blame for his defeat,
! he was the victim of circumstance, the
7 under dog in a never ceasing bid for
the breaks in a game in which the
breaks were many and in which they
nearly always persisted in coming to
the assistance and rescue Of the Gin
/ cinnati team.
Williams Yields Four Hits.
Williams yielded only four hits. It is
true. but he also gave six bases on balls
and 1t was these half dozen involuntary
gifts which spelled the downfall of Will
iains and the Chicago club. The impor-
tance of these bases on balls in the Gin
cinnati victory and their roles in the second
setback OF Kid Gleason's crew may be
CLEANED from the fact that every one Of
| the four runners who tailed for the Reds
1 a he INN faf
a pass.
| And since a pass Is as good as a base
hit, Williams permitted ten disciples or
/ Pat Moran TO reach first base, while
Sailee. through ten hits and only one
pass. allowed eleven rival batsmen to
exchange courtesies with Jake Daubert
Sallee pitched one of his typical games
working on the principle that a baseball
| club is composed of nine men, and that
It behooves not any individual to en-
croach on the duties of any OF the others
! And with some of the Reds working
! like supermen in pinches. this principle
4 at least for the time being, was vindi-
Gated. But Sallee had better not take
| similar chances II he should be called
on to pitch again in this series. 1t
will be remembered that as a Giant in
| 1917 he found that policy a losing one
/ against the very same White Sox over
the hills of Cincinnati this evening.
New Heroes Are Crowned.
Yesterday Walter Ruether, the pitcher,
was the leading light for the Reds To-
, day the ever changing slate OF baseball
| fame saw Ruether's name erased and in
/ its place were inscribed the names of
two of his teammates-men who worked
In a dual heroism for the Red cause and
were by far the brightest luminaries In a
| scintillating afternoon. The new heroes
were Edward Roush, the outfelder, and
| William Lorenz Kopf. the shortstop.
! II was Roushs defensive work In CEN
tire field which repeatedly throttled Chi
cago hopes and at least on one occasion
cut off some scoring which might have
given the battle a far different COM
plexion. Besides, Roush got the first
4 hit of Williams and sent in the first
Red run II was Kopf's three base hit
which scored the second and third runs
COR the Reds and provided them with
their margin OF victory
That triple was Kopfs lone hit of tho
| game, but It was one of the most op-
perfume strokes seen in a world series
contest in some time. Kopf, who lives
in New Britain. Conn.,, and who. by the
way, was to have come to the Brook
lyns last spring. is New York product,
for 1t was at Fordham College that he
blossomed forth as a star infielder.
Kopf played a great game at short
stop to-day and would have earne
laurels a plenty even If he had not come
forward with his prodigious blow.
Kopf's Chance Comes I'm Fourth.
The fourth inning-the fortunate
fourth in which the Reds staged their
batting rally yesterday: the lucky fourth
in which so many world series battles
