WHITE SOX FANS STILL SURE
THEIR TEAM WILL ROUT REDS
Astounded by Two Successive Defeats.
Three Days in Home Park Should
Work to Chicago Clubs Advantage.

Neale he would have been credited
with shutout. NeaIe's error cropped
up in the seventh inning, when with
one out Risberg singled to left and
Schalk dropped double near the
right-field foul line. Risberg pulled
up at third and should have been
stranded there. as Williams famed
and ]. Collins lifted an easy fly. but
Neales throw to head Schalk off at
second went over Kopfs head. It
bounded by Groh and. with no one
backing up third, rolled to the fence
in front of the left-feld stand and
permitted both runners to score.
Sallee was in several tight holes.
In the second Jackson's Texas league
double to center and Felsch's sacrifice
put him on third. where he remained
while Sallee easily disposed of Gandil
and Risberg. In the fourth Weaver
and Gandil started with single, and
Felsch again sacrificed. Weaver was
an easy victim at the plate on Can
dis rap to Daubert, and the latter
took care OF Risberg's foul pop.
Roush horned into the spotlight in
the sixth after Weaver. with one down,
had doubled to left and taken third on
a balk, following the whiting of Joe
jackson. Fe1sch gave him his oppor-
tunity by walloping terrific liner to
deep center Running out at full speed
Roush turned, backed a few steps, then
leaped and caught the ball within two
strides of the center-fleld fence It
was the most spectacular individual
play of the series to date and earned
him genuine ovation. It was by no
means all he did to distinguish himself,
Tor he and Kopf. the only Reds to go
hitless in the first game. between them
did enough execution with the willow
in the fourth inning to assure victory
Tor the Moran men. 1t was Williams
VINO made 1t possible for them to at
tract the plaudits of the multitude by
setting the stage for them with bases
on balls.
The Chicago southpaw's undoine
was directly due to his unsteadfness.
for. all told. only four hits were made
on nim. and. with the passes feleted.
no Redleg would have crossed the
piate. Every one of CincinnatPs tall
lies was initiated by a walk, four of
the half dozen free tickets they re-
celved ultimately being converted
into counters.
Only nine men faced Williams in the
nSst three innings. Roush, who drew
walk ana was the only Red to get
on the sacks. being victimized in a
double play. Williams walked Rath
for starter in the fourth and. after
Daubert sacrificed. franked Groh to
first. Here it was that Roush landed
his first bingle Of the series. a line
drive to center that Scored Rath with
the initial run of the game and sent
Groh to third. The Sox here gave a
scintillating exhibition of their Prov
ess IN checking the double steal when,
with duncan up. Roush set sail for
IN
throw, his move holding, Groh on
third, ducked and let the ball 90
through to Risberg, who tagged
Roush sliding into the sack. VIII
Hams then gave Duncan the third
pass OF the round. and the latter with
Groh scored when Kopf hit the f,rst
pail pitched to the fence in left CEN
Ter Tor three bases. Neale failed to
cash him. rolling to Collins to end
the round. ''u
Neale had hit In his system and he
uncovered it In the sixth. whan =,
would do just as much good. In this
session Williams started by waking
Roush. Duncan sacrificed and It's
Kopf fouled to- Weaver, Neale cau,a
through with line single to left thai
sent Roush home with the Reds,
fourth and final tally.
- Q hot oAtch a team is able to SC0re
four runs on as many hits. as the Reds
did Williams passes were resnonsi
bic, OF course, and they were ac-
counted for by the fact that Williams
had been instructed to carefuilv avoid
the mistake Cicotte made the day be-
fore In growing the ball for Morans
men. Williams followed directions.
with the result that he was in the hole
to seventeen of the thirty-one bats
men who faced him. Only one of the
four hits the Reds made failed to
figure in the scoring.
Honors in the employment Of
strategy on the field thus far are
with Fat Moran by a great margin.
The wisdom of ordering hitter Of
Felschs walloping proclivities to sacri-
nee In both the second and fourth can
De seriously questioned. What Felsch
| Is capable of was demonstrated in the
| sixth when he connected for that
mighty wallop that gave Roush his
chance to shine.
Weaver looked bad in the fourth.
when he ran home from third on
GandiPs rap to Daubert Rariden had
| the ball before weaver was within
ten feet Of the platter, yet Buck made
no effort to avoid being tagged. His
play was to turn back. give Gandil a
! chance to reach second. and also have
the Reds incur the liability OF wild
throw or . fnmhlas
