Cicotte Is Nervous.
The fourth inning opened with Q
fly by Roush to Felsch Duncan sing

Neale hit a funny one which eluded
two infielders with as many high
bounds, sending Kopf TO third. WingC
singled, scoring Kopf Reuther's firsl
triple followed, scoring Neale and
Wingo. Cicotte was plainly nervous
and conference was held in the cen
ter of the diamond Rath was smii-
ing as he faced the pitcher, and
doubled to left, putting Reuther
across the plate. Daubert singled Over
second scoring Rath. Five men had
scored and Manager Gleason at this
point sent his fayorite twirler OF the
bench
Wilkerson, who had a brief warm
ing up, went into the box He was IL
time, but managed to stay the slaugh-
ter until the seventh when it was re
newed, Daubert tripled into the
right field crowd and scored OIL
Groh's single to center Roush laid
down perfect bunt to Weaver, whose
throw to Gandil compelled the latter
to stretch so far that the umpirc
called the runner safe on close de-
cision. Duncan grounded to Risbe"s
and Roush was forced at second
while Groh scored on the play.
Reuthcr's Second Triple.
Manager Gleason led forth a third
pitcher in the person of Lowdermilk
In the eighth, and his delivery con-
tributed one more run to the Cincin-
natl total Neale greeted him with
single to left and he advanced a base
on Wingo's sacrifice, Reuther then
perched himself firmly on the top
rung of the ladder of fame with his
second triple. 1t rolled to the fence
in center and had tho pitcher eX-
erted himself he could have made 1t
a homer.
Schalk dropped the ball a moment
later and it rolled twenty feet away,
but Reuther calmly stood in his tracks
while the ball was being retrieved
The end of the inning found him still
there.
In the fifth the visitors seemed de 2
termined to turn on the enemy de-
spite their commanding lead. They
hit the ball viciously and got three
men on bases, but none reached the
counting station.
Sox Threaten To Score.
Gandil started with a single back
of first base. Risberg sent Roush into
deep center after his long drive, but
the fielder not only captured it, but
held Gandil at first. Schalk hit a
singing grounder to Groh and the lit
tie captain caught up with the ball il
time to force Gandil at second. Wiki
erson then grounded past second, but
Rath. with q pretty stop and throw,
retired the side,
The Sox tried it again in the next
inning, After there was one down,
Eddie Collins singled through Reuth-
err and Weaver dropped a Texas
Lacquer in right, Collins taking sec
ond. AS Jackson came to the plate
the Chicago contingent cheered, but
he frounded out to Daugert unassisted.
Collins and Weaver advanced on the
play. 1t was up to Happy Felsch
now, but his best was fly to Neale,
Chicago never even threatened again,
Reuther pitching with superb con-
fidence and control.
