trieved that the first two Sox wer,
put in 4 position to score and Gan
dill drove them across the rubber +;
moment later.
: Liebold was back IN his regular
position in right field and at the tht
top of the Sox batting list wher
play ball" was called. Despite tn,
inauspicious opening at Cincinnati
the local enthusiasts were confident
that on the home grounds the SoS
would exhibit the kind of ball thai
won them the leadership of theiI
league. There was confidence, toe

selves, but no more than that dis.
played by the Reds, who acted and
felt like men of destiny.
Game Stars Fast.
The first inning gave evidence oi
the air-tight struggle that was to
come. Rath, the first man up, con-
tributed a grounder and was put out
like shot to Gandil. Daubert
cracked hard one to Felsch. Kerr
planted his feet firmly and with
beautiful 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
4 disposed of. Liebold's fly came
down softly as feather in the init
of Duncan; Eddie Collins was re-
tired, shortstop to first and Weaver
popped out to Daubert.
With Rousch down in the second
there was little gasp of fright
among the Chicagoans and cheers
from the visiting enthusiasts when
Duncan singled cleanly over second.
Kerr, however, remained steady. He
put an extra twist on the ball and
Kopf retired, though not until Sox
partisans had missed heartbeat, for
Risberg juggled the ball around un-
til it was too late to keep Duncan
from second, and he nearly missed
getting Kopf at first. The best
Neale could deliver was slow roll
er to Collins, who threw him out
at first. Kerr was cheered as he
left the field.
Fisher Loses Game.
The home crowd found inspira
ton in view of the broad shoulders
OF Toe Jackson and rooted for hit.
The outfielder swung like a cyclone
at two and then hit cleanly to left.
Happy Felsch, the next man up,
contemplated the usual sacrificial Of
fering, but the fates had decreed that
he was to circle the bases after
brief pause on second. 1t was here
that Fisher lost his own game.
Felsch's little bunt percolated to-
ward the Red pitcher, who grabbed
it and turned quickly to catch Jack
son at second. Fisher was off his
balance and his heave rolled out into
the center garden. Jackson, who
had slid, tumbled as he dug his toes
in to renew his running, but scran1-
bled to his feet in time to make
third. On the throw to third Felsch
made second.
Hits in Pinch.
With men on second and third
and none out the stands went wild
yelling for victory. Chick Gandil,
the Sox first baseman, came to
bat at this thrilling moment. He
swung at the first ball pitched and
it landed safely in right, Jackson
and Felsch both crossing the plate.
1t looked from the stands as IT
Rariden had the throw from right
in time to have touched Felsch.
but the latter swung akwardly
around him and was safe. There
was no aviator over the grounds
today, as there was at Cincinnati
yesterday, but if there had been he
would have found that Fisher, de-
spite this reversal had his feet still
firmly planted on the ground. Gan
dill had attained second on the play
at the plate and Risberg was up.
With two strikes and three balls
Fisher walked the Sox shortstop,
but dealt sterner stuff to Schalk
and Kerr and Schalk tapped a light
one in the direction of third which
Fisher fielded and tossed Gandil
out at third. Risberg reached sec
ond and Schalk was safe at first.
The play was repeated a moment
later when Fisher again fielded
Kerr's little roller and threw to
Groh for force out of Rsberg.
Risberg's Hit Counts.
In the third Fisher for the Reds
and Weaver and Collins for the
Sox delivered hits. but nothing came
of them. In the fourth, however.
Risberg delivered the one long hit
OF the day, and it resulted in the
third and last run. The ,Shortstop's
wallop went too far right and be-
fore the bali was returned to its
base he was perched on third as a
pandemonium of noise in his ears
testified to the joy of TIL. crowd.
There was but one down and the
fans began calling for another run.
Schalk, came to bat in the emer-
gency and hit one which came so
erratically to Fisher that he was
unable to place his hands on it. Ris-
berg scored. Schalk went out steal
