CICOT7E, ANXIOUS FOR ONE
 MORE CHANCE AT REDS, MAY PITCH FOR CHICAGO TODAY
Ruether or Eller Will Prob ably Do Twirling For Cincinnati - White SOx Fav0rites in Betting.
SPECULATORS ARE
 BEING ROUNDED UP

Chicago, Oct. 4.-Reassured by 3
 to victory over the Cincinnati
 Reds in the third game of the
 worlds series, the Chicago White
 SoX today declared they were ready
 to back up Eddie Cicotte their one
 time battered ace, with the fighting
 spirit that brought them the pennant
 in the American league and even up
 the series at to 2. The Reds, stung
 by the first shutout of the series after
 two wins on their home field did not
 believe they again would encounter
 such marvellous pitching as shown by
 Kerr, midget hurler of the White
 Sox, and asserted their expectations
 of having no hard time with the
 "shine and knuckle ball" Cicotte
 would serve up if he is Gleason's
 selection or any of the other Sox
 tWirlerS.
 Each Side Tells ''Horse Shoes
 Sox players yesterday in addition
 to bona fide worlds series pitching by
 the diminutive Kerr got the "breaks
 of the game" and brought the series
 to to 1. They claimed the Reds
 won the two games at Cincinnati only
 through "breaks." But the visitors
 ridiculed such claims Having fla
 miliarized themselves with the
 breezes, shadows and sun spots of
 Comiskey park, Manager Moran's
 winners of the National league race
 were confident of better showing
 today.
 12 SpecuIators Arrested. The crowd that began forming about the park before midnight last night indicated that the 35,00O ca pacity of the enclosure would be taxed today. Yesterday approximate ly 4,000 seats in bleachers and pa vilion were vacant. The partial sup pression of ticket scalpers by govern ment revenue officers who took 12 al leged pasteboard profiteers in down town hotel Hobbies and around the park also was expected to add to the admissions today at Comiskey park. Cicotte Probable Choice. No announcement from either Manager Gleason of the White Sox or Manager Moran of the Reds was forthcoming early today as to his pitching selection for today but it was generally believed that Cicotte would be sent back to face the Reds who drove him from the box in the
 first game at Cincinnati and either Ruether or -"Hod" Eller would be the Reds moundsman. Cicotte who said that he was unnerved by hitting a
 batsman at Cincinnati told Manager Gleason he again was ready to start against the National league cham piOns.
 Showers and cooler weather for to- day was the weather prediction that would bring a change from the three days of unexcelled world series weather.
 White SoX Are FayOrites. Betting that opened with the White
 Sox favorites at z and to 5 veered to even money as the Reds smOthered
 the American leaguerS in the first
 game and then reversed the initial
 odds after the national champs took
 the second contest today switched so as to place the White Sox once again in the honor position.
 If Manager Moran elects to return his star pitcher Batter" Ruether to
 the mound today, John Collins, a right hand hitter will displace Memo Lie bold in right field Collins was sick during the last game at Cincinnati but reports he has recovered. If El- Ter or another right handler is the choice Liebold will head the batting order.
 Probable Iineup Today. Following is the probable lineup for today:
 Cincinnati-Rath 2b, Daubert 1b, Groh 3b, Roush of, Duncan If, kopf,
 ss, Neale If, Wingo c, Ruether p. Chicago-J. Collins If, E. Collins 2b, Weaver 3b, Jackson If, Felsch of,
