CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-Last year it was
a fable. rivalling an Ksop MASTER
piece. This afternoon it developed in
to a fact incontrovertible Only seven
short months ago it was a dream
wilder than the most optimistic vision
born of hasheesh. But as the shad-
ows heightened over Comiskey Park
to-day it became a stern reality. The
Cincinnati club OF the National League
finally won the baseball championship
of the world. For forty years the
Queen City had been imagining how
1t would feel to attain this pinnacle,
and now that its hour of supreme
triumph has come unfeeling men de-
clare that all things are possible.
1t was a raging, riotous, run thirsty
lot of Cincinnati players who defeated
the Chicago Americans for the fifth
time and brought the title to the Ohio
metropolis. The score was 10 to 8.
Twice the Cincinnati men, with the
all conquering victory in their grasp,
had been turned back by the fighting
White Sox. Twice the Reds, with four
successes to their credit and only one
more game needed to end the series,
had been forced to retreat, apparently
in utter rout.
Reds Start Attack EARLY.
This afternoon all the pent up
wrath developed in that double dis
appointment was let loose by the Reds.
They began terrific attack from the
first moment of their opening turn at
bat and in five innings piled up
enough runs to give them the game.
Thus one of the most interesting COM
petitions in the history of the worlds
series ended with Chicago defeated by
five games to three. marking the first
failure of the American League repre-
sentatives of this city in three fights
for the title.
Though defeated the White Sox pue
up a brave and game battle in spite OF
the big lead maintained by the Reds
all the way interest in the struggle was
maintained until the very last out had
been made. The White Sox were not
willing-to let that prize slip from them.
and when they were apparently out of
the running and trailing the Reds so
hopelessly that hundreds of onlookers
left the park as early as the sixth in
ming they made a last bravo bid for the
game. The Sox put over four runs in
the eighth and raised the Chicago hopes
from the dead. But soon the rally was
over.
Chicago still was four runs in the
rear. Then came a tenth tally for Gin
clnnati in the eighth, and 1t was all
over but for the shouting and tire rush
for the exits.
sox Hopes Dished in First.
The hopes of the White Sox got their
death blow in the first inning. Four
runs were chalked up for 'Cincinnati in
Reds got turn at bat, five of them
came through with hits, two of which
were two baggers. Like a big. game
boxer with fighting heart the Chicago
club staggered all over the ring. But 1t
would not throw up the sponge II
played for time to rally its waning en-
ergies, and for a time It succeeded In
keeping the Reds in check.
Cincinnati got one run In the second
and a sixth tally in the fifth. But In the
sixth inning the worlds champions in
the making let loose their attack with
renewed feroclty. Three more hits came
of Red bludgeons and three more runs
were added TO the Cincinnati total,
Again the staggering hulk which repre7
sented Chicago stalled and held through
a round and In the eighth II staged its
last fighting rally.
II was the swan song of club which
had gone into the series full of conf
dence which bordered on cocklness-
another overwhelming public choice
which had failed in year replete with
disappointment for sporting favorites.
So tonight Chicago thinks of what
might have been, while Cincinnati has
become famous for another B.
Beer and baseball. one on the wane
and the other very much on the rise.
10 Hits for Cincinnati.
In all, the Cincinnati attack yielded
sixteen hits, which included three
doubles, two of them by Eddie Roush,
and one three base hit. The Reds were
guilty of two errors. The White Sox
made ten hits. four of which did not
come until that torrid eighth inning.
That session saw the arrival of two
of the three doubles credited to the men
under the command of Kid Gleason.
And. lest we forget. one of the Chi
cago hits was a home run. an honest to
son, which came with nobody on base In
the third inning and gave the outhelder
