star Is more Ruether than Ruth.
It was Reuther yesterday in the first
4 world series combat who struck off two
triples and a single out of three trips
Ito the plate.
1T was Reuther's willowy left arm
that held the smuggling White Sox to
three clean blows and three filmy, pale
blue scratches.
1t was Reuther who stalked into the
\ spotlight supposed to be held in close
Il reserve for Eddie Cicotte and in the
presence of $4,000 astonished persons
held Collins, jackson. Weaver and
Felsch to two scrawny, scratchy singles
For the greater part of four innings
Eddie Cicotte, the american League
premier, gave, Reuther an even battle,
hut in the closing spasm of the fourth
with the count even at l and l. the
Red attack broke down Cicotte's defense
aud drove him to the shower With one
ytsf the fiercest onslaughts that any single
/ lihning of a worlds series ever has
lI.nown.

to another. But the big cave in
arrived when Babe Reuthcr stepped UP
with two on and hammered the first of
his two triples far beyond Chicago S
reach.
This was the blow that broke up the
battle, gave Cincinnati the jump game
4 and turned the Reds from fc"lorn hopes
4 to red hot favorites at 8 20 3. for OF
the fifteen world series contests played
to date the ball club winning the open
ing scrimmage ultimately has trinmphed
on no less than thirteen occasions.
4 The only two clubs that ever lost tht
first game and later finished on tor
were. the Boston Americans of 1907
and the Philadelphia Athletics of 1911
On all remaining occasions the team
that won the opener has galloped safely
along to a certain triumph.
The Reds not only won the jumr
game but they won it in the most de-
fcisive fashion that any first game ever
margin of 8 to 1. and they outplayed
the White Sox in every department BY
this same margin. They not only

juicy total of fourteen hits for twenty
