stop the rush of the Reds the ST. Louis
ans declared that he first saw the light
of day in the Kerry Patch at st. Louis.
That was whore he got the courage to
last through the game. One had to
have courage to reach maturity in the
Kerry Patch, but the Texas claim per
sisted.
Somebody insisted that his right
name was kecr, but that it had been
turned. into Kerr when he first took up
the @ame. To avoid trouble Kerr let 1t
go at that. What was in name? The
stockyards called by any other name
would still remain the stockyards.
After that fourth inning the Reds
got Just one man to first base. That
was Larry kopf, who opened the fifth
with drive to right. In the eighth
inning Pat Moran sent out the veteran
and lnvallded Sherwood Magee to bat
tor Fisher but the best that Sherwood
could do was to hoist one to short CEN
ire.
Aldolfo Luque, one of the first in
mates of Cuba to enter a worlds
series, relieved Fisher in the eighth.
The sinister and sombre Cupan's pres

hardly had finished the inning when
Jimmie Smith, who had been coaching
for the Reds around third, walked
over and challenged the entire White
SoX squads. 1t took nearly all of the
umpires to lead the impulsive Mr..
Smith back to his own dugout
The ninth inning seemed to produce
some further shivers of anxiety. Once
upon time when the Reds were
beaten up to that period by the Bos-
ton Braves they came through with a
rush and made eight runs. squelchinc
and squishing the Bostonians. But
nothing like that happened this after
noon. The Reds were tanner in the
ninth than they were at any time pre-
vious.
Jake Daubert Fans
Rath was thrown out by Collins.
Jake Daubert, who declined to en-
dcavor to hit left-handers during the
series of 1916 struck out. The last
out was committed by Heinie Groh. to
whom they sing hymns in Cincinnati
Then. and not till then, did the
Woodland Bards and other inmates Of
this odorous city lift their voices with
any vim and certainty. They would
not concedc themselves the victory
after the utterly unexpected develop
ment in the Rhneland until the last
out was recorded. You cant blame
them for a reasonable amount of eau
ton at that for the Reds in the first
TWO games threatened to emulate the
historic mad dash of the Boston
Braves.
There was some particularly good
fielding exhibited by the Reds. In the
first inning Memo Leibold was robbed
of a hit by GREASY" Neale The Slip
perry one scooted in for the ball as it
was within about an inch of the
ground. One paw intercepted it and
Neale rolled over and over, but he held
the ball.
In the third inning Jacob Daubert
checked rush of White Sox because,
while his batting eye was baffed by
Kerr his eye for the defence seemed
TO have developed considerable keen
ness Collins had started the inning
with clean single. On the hit and
run play Weaver shot one over short as
Kopf dashed for second. jackson lifted
one to the infield and Fisher seemed
still bewildcred

While the schoolmastcr was giving
the situation the delberation he
thought was due, the ball was descend
ing rapidly and the runners we're ready
for a squirt. Daubcrt dashed in and
caught the ball while Fisher sat down
in the infied in order to deliberate
with more ease.
Wild Bill Raridcn, from the Wabash.
caught a good game and discouraged
the SoX in every attempt they made to
steal second. William had the range
and the runners kissed themselves
goodby they left FIRST.
Shoclcss Joe Jackson and Fisher had
an exchange Of repartee in the sixth,
when, after plnwhceling himself into
d state OF bewiderment in swinging at
the first ball, Joe sent a foul down to-
ward first. Fisher went after the ball
and bumped into Joseph. The shoeless
one finally got a Texas Lacquer over
short. When Joseph attempted to steal
Kopf sat on him as he slid to the bag,
then got the ball and tagged him out
at his leisure.
To-day's victory naturally puts new
tinge on the aspect Of the worlds
series as ii stands. 1t is fairly certain
that Cicottc will be given another
chance Tomorrow If Cicotte is what
there always is the chance that the
tide might turn. But if the pitching
ace is what nc was at Cincinnati it
stili Will look like ii short and Red
series. 1t depends entirely on the con
dition of the soupbonc that failed at
Cincinnati.
Moran can put in Ructhcr, the native
son Of the Golden West, tomorrow
RUcther the left handler. who is ruther
than Babe Ruth in this series To-
morrow viii tell whole lot more
about how the series will go. The
arithmetic has been jugglcd so rcck
Iessly that there hardly is a prophet
lcft around thcsc parts.
