feat this afternoon In the fourth game
of-the series. In which the Reds have
won three games He made two bad
throws in one inning. both probably
due to over anxiety as much as any
thing else. 1t was tough luck" 1t
was . happening as unfortunate as
has ever befaIlen a pitcher in a world
series.
They were writing Cicotte's base
ball epitaph after the fourth inning Of
the first game over in Cincinnati. and
his epitaph was '-AlI through"
ret Cicotte today pitched mastery
ban. He pitched with all his old time
cunning and skill. Then came that
almost wicked twist OF luck in his own
hand which brought about his de-
feat
Moran Aids Youngster.
Between innings this afternoon, a
paternal little scene was being enacted
over on the Red bench. The red
faced, gray-haired Pat Moran. leader
OF the Reds, was constantly talking to
young Jimmy Ring, as a father might
talk to a son The voice of the Gin
cinnati manager could be heard on
almost every ball pitched by the lad
who was a Brooklyn school boy a cou-
pie Of years back
1t was always the voice OF encour-
agement Moran has raised Ring, so
to speak. to one of his best pitchers
tins year, after Jimmy had started on
what looked as II it might be that in
terminable round Of the leagues that

Ring q Moran Find.
Uncle Wilbert Robinson found him
In Brooklyn and first took him South
with the club from that city. Then
the New York Yankees had Ring for
time Next came a period in the
minor leagues. but finally Jimmy fell
into the fatherly hands of Moran.
Even Moran was disposed to send
him back to the bushes" for further
seasoning last spring, but II was found
that certain clubs would not waive on
him So Jimmy remained with the
Reds and Pat Moran became his
teacher. He taught him, first of all,
the secret Of control
Here is another Of those strange
caprices Of baseball The hard-luck
pitcher suddenly becomes the good
luck pitcher of the world series for
barring a slight margin in hits, Ring
was not greatly superior to his vet
7eran opponent this afternoon.
Reds Play Great Game.
He had forgotten Moran's lessons
OF control He hit two batsmen and
walked a couple. His delivery was
hit hard enough by the Sox, but
only three blows went safe. Yer
even when he seemed very unsteady,

"a tough game for Cicotte to LOSE
and that is true. but the Cincinnati
club put on a wonderful exhibition
Of defense.
The old "shine-baII king" called
on his every resource. He worked
with every pound of strength in his
body. He was desperate.
Even the most feverish Cincinnati
rooter while glorying IN Rings sue
csss. could not help feeling some
sympathy for the veteran as he
made his last stand.
