on him.
Attacks Are Shifted.
game progressed. The Sox saw nothing
could be gained by trying to walt out
Ruether, as he gave only one base on
balls. Both Reds and Sox tried to hit
the first ball. In the seventh Ruether
retired the Sox on three pitched balls.
Heinie Groh showed no signs Of suf-
fering from his broken finger. He
handled his three ground balls nicely.
One was a bunt which Buck Weaver
tried to put over on him. At bat Heinie
hit single and a sacrifice fly and drew
base on balls.
The pitching selections for tomorrow
are Harry Sallee for the Reds and
Claude Williams for the White Sox.. The
game should be close 1t is unlikely
that the Reds can treat Chicago's left
hand twirling ace as roughly as Cicotts
was to-day.
The hitting to-day was done largely
by left handed batters, Daubert, Neals
and Ruether. Among them they made
nine of Cincinnatfs fourteen hits
Ruether's big bat will not be in the gam,
tomorrow. Sallee follows pitching
etiquette in hitting much closer than his
younger left handed comrade Neale Il
q turn around batter, but never doei
much against left handlers. Wher
Mathewson managed the Reds he only
used Neale against right handlers
Daubert was pitiably weak against tn,

GandH Only Member of White Sox to
Get 2 Hits; Makes Chicago'S Lone Error

Gandil was the only member of the
American League champions to get two
hits. He made Chicago's only error IN
the seventh, when he muffed Weavers
assist on Roush's sacrifice. The error
came after Gandil went through the en-
tire American League season with only
two errors in close to 1000 chances
While the White sox had only two
lefthanded hitters in its lineup to-day
Ruether succeeded in keeping them
muzzIed. They are Eddie Collins and
Joe jackson. Eddie got only one in
field hit, a bounder of Ruether's glove in
the sixth, Rath made a good pickup on
the ball, but Evans decided Eddie beat
the hit. Jackson made no hits In four
times up, though he scored Chicago's
only run.
The White Sox showed their glaring
pitching weakness after one of their
stars was knocked out. With Cicotte out
Kid Gleason was obliged to finish out
with a pair of second stringers, the
newcomer Wilkinson, procured only
few months ago from the American As
ISOLATION, and the wild Lowdermilk.
Chicago has no reserve pitching
strength. The Sox have pitchers to 1T
out the stan, men like Wilkinson, Mayer.
Sullivan and Lowdermilk, but they are
| of little use in-the event the stars fail.
Ruether to-day got a base on balls and
a triple on Cicotte, single Off Wilkin-
son and a second triple on Lowdermilk.

Eddie Collins got one hit, and that

In our standardization of the days
heroics we have purposely left for the
last an appreciation Of the prowess OF
Pat Moran, who took command of an ag-
gregation of players who under other
standards had done nothing to indicate
that they could be welded into PEN
nant winning machine. The contest this
afternoon emphasized to a marked de-
gree the wizardry of the veterans lead
ership, the magic of his spoken word
and encouragement
All through the Cincinnati attack,
even after the Reds had shown that
they had the victory packed away, Mo-
ran kept his station at third base, never
demonstrative, but always in full COM
maud of the situation. Tonight Cincin-
natl, which already had proclaimed Mo-
ran the greatest of all managers, finds
itself at a loss for new phrases Of
encomium. II any can be invented he

at all even in defeat7 No. Not unless
one would want to glorify Chick Gahuil'
who got two hits, the first Of which, IN
the second inning, tied the score ano
gave the White Sox the run that saved
them the further ignominy of a shutout.
That hit OF Gandils was not altogether
without faint
Gandil lifted a fly to short centre.
Properly, It was Kopfs ball. but the am
bilious and ubiquitous Roush came
smashing in from deep centre with All
intention of getting the offering. Roush
was too ambitious. Gandil's fly was too
short, and great was the Redland grier
when the ball fell safely to the green
sward and went for hit, while jackson
scored from third base.
That Chicago second inning was born
in faint. jackson opened the second
inning with a smash to Kopf. The Red
shortstop did not handle the ball with
sufficient neatness and despatch to suit
the official scorers and had jackson got
only as far As second, Kopf would have
got an error anyway. But to make
matters worse Kopf threw the ball
widely to first so that Shoeless Joe had
ample time TO reach second base. Felsch
sacrificed him along to third and then
Gandf lifted that short fly. After
jackson had scored, Gandil was out
stealing, Risberg walked and hope was
born anew in Chicago breasts, but

Two years ago, however, eight
millions of dollars went into
new buildings and improve
ments on the Rock Island ar

In the matter of buildings
alone, the closing year exceed

by over 100000. Two years
ago the figures given out from
the Office of the building in
spector show $707,937 as COM
pared with $1.892,6S6 this time.
Last year the erection of 217
government houses added
nearly a million dollars to the
total, but at that it was less by
over 100000 than during
1919.

two years previous it totaled
over two million. However,
the amount shows favorably in
every way, basfng compare
