of kopf. the young shortstop of the
Reds. Shoelcss Joe Jackson, fence
buster and slugger of the White Sox,
hit to Kopf. 1t looked like q fairly
fcasy one to field, but Kopf first fumbled
it and then made q wild throw to first
Jackson reached second. Felsch sent
him to third with a sacrifice.
Then, while Kopf was still apparently
brooding over his misplay, Gandil
lifteS a high one Just about twenty
feet in his rear. Kopf seemed to stand
tkere confused. 1t was his ball, but
he did not move toward it. Roush came
dashing in from distant centre and
barely got his hands on the ball, drop
ping it to the grass. 1t went as a hit
and Collins scored the lone run of the
White Sox. 1t was this error that
robbed Ruether. the left handler, of a
shutout
1t was Jake Daubert who started the
scoring for the Reds in the SEVENTH
| after the Cincinnatiacs had stretched
with carefree abandon for the first
time in fifty years. Jake picked on
ing hands in the right field bleachers
for three Dagger. Heinic Groh, idol
in-chief of Cincinnati until to-day
when Reuther took the higher pedestal,
shot hit through second, scoring Dau-
bert
Roush, moment later, hit to
Weaver, who threw to Gandil. The Sox
first baseman dropped the ball. Roush
reached first and Daubert scored with
the eighth run.
Pitched Ball Drops Daubert
The restive Cincinnatiacs displayed
some temper in the eighth when long
Lowdermilk, hurting with recklessness,
and convinced that it was all over
drove the ball right against the skull
Of Daubert. The Red first baseman
dropped as though he were shot. The
Reds gathered a,,und him, and there
was considerable anxiety in the coun-
tenance of Pat Moran. The Reds need
Jake Daubert, rejected by the Brook
lyn team; they need him because he
is new Jake Daubert. made new by
the magic that Pat Moran works with
men.
Patrick Moran has worked many
miracles with material which was
handed to him this Spring, but the
chief miracle will remain Jake Daubert.
That hit, the first time up, backed up
by the blarney of Pat Moran, was to
Jake Daubert what the taste of blood
is to a tiger. Unless that hit on the
head has hurt him permanently Jacob
will be heard from again and often in
the games that remain to be played.
The hills here are ringing with
praises of Reather--Reuther the hitter;
Reuther the pitcher. When it was all
over the crowd leaped out of the stands
and dashed into the field to pat the left
hand that brought the victory to the
Reds and made up for the fifty years
of waiting.
1t was an orderly and sober crowd
Old-tlmers declare that it was one of
the quietest world series games ever
played. There was a preponderance of
the aborigines, and they take their
baseball with genuine Teutonic earnest
ness. Always there seemed to be over
them the fear that the White Sox
nacity and speed.
Lack Faith in Their Team
Again their faith in their own team
was none too strong. They had been
/ listening to the figures that pretended
to demonstrate that it would be i'm
I possible for the Reds to win this series
and worse than improbable for them
, to win the first game.
Even when Cicotte showed the initial
symptoms of wildness they did not dare
| believe that it was true. The collapse
of the shine ball artist dazed them
into muteness 1t seemed too good to
be true-too utterly impossible; abso-
lutely not in the cards or the rules of
the game. Some of them will not be-
lieve it until they get the details from
their papers.
The managerial tactics of Pat Moran
showed in the way in which he steadied
Kopf after he made that glaring error
After he came back from the bench
he seemed a different youngster. Pat
rick is q master at the blarney. He
has the paternal manner of handling
ball players. 1t is a powerful and sue
cessful manner to adopt to any kline
of men. 1t gets the best out of them
as the best that was in the Cincinnati
! Reds was brought out by Moran.
: One of the old Red Stockings OF
1863, who saw a CINCINNATI team
) through the triumphs Of half cen
} tury ago, watched the game to-day
) He is Cal McNey, who caught with
out glove because the first man whS
: wore skin tight kid glove behind thu
bat was looked on as dude, a per
son to avoided. Cal was clapping hi
: gnarled fingers, twisted by stopping
2 the fast ones of the early days.
= II guess that ] would have to US,
) glove to catch this boy Ruether,
observed Cal.

I puts them over faster than any o
= them. Yes, sir, we old fellows woul,
Q need q glove to hold him, and w
might not be able to hold him a
Q that"
o 1t is bad night for the experts
n All of the dope has been crossed
0 1t wasn't merely the failure Of Cicott
b, that made the Reds look invincible
I it was aggressiveness, the almos
: cocksureness of the Cincinnati team
e fighting team this afternoon.
l And they say that Pat Moran has
few more pitchers as good as Ruether
!, It's hard TO believe that, but assum
t ing that Pat Moran's reserve pitch
$ ing force is anywhere near as goot
S as Ruether, the current series Is owe
already.
The gates to Redland Field wer
t thrown open at 10 o'clock, and tn
S bleacherites, carrying their coats j
: their hands and steaming with perspira
ton, began to file in. Despite the flu

coveted pastchoards," there wer
, some left on sale at the bleacher gate
this morning.
The bleachers began to fiji up earl
