New-York tribune., 1919-10-07

U. S. A. The march always threw the
9th Infantry out of step and it seems
to be doing the same thing for the
White Sox in this series. The inmates
Of Chicago gathered early and stuffed
the bleachers, but it seemed that most
of the floating population that has
been drawn along in the wake of the
series had been swirled away yesterday
and floated to other parts. Tickets
for the grandstands could be bought
at par this morning.
The outfeld was bit soggy, but the
| infed was dry and fast. Eddie Roush
skidded couple of times during the
practice in center field. The Sox came
on moodily and the damp and clammy
burrows on the wrinkled brow of Will
lam Gleason.
While the athletes were disporting
female washtub athlete was stringing
out the Monday wash on a back porch
just beyond the left field fence. Part
of the wash consisted Of a pair Of
white sox somewhat frayed and fraz-
zled, but spotless. This was taken as
an omen of good fortune for the Sox.
A Slight Error Here
Just before the game began tele-
graph messenger started to page Con-
ME Mack. There must DO some be-
they still believe that Connie Mack
can be found at world series. This
ignorance of current history is ter
ribls.
Al the playing Of "The Star Spangled
Banner" Patrick Moran, with his dome
barred. looked like o flaming red blaze
of triumph.
1t began to look bit ominous for
the Reds as early as the first inning.

plastered one to Kopf, who made the
throw to first just whisker ahead of
the runner, Liebold taking second.
Weaver sent a hit oozing right through
Eller's glove.
This brought up the heavy artillery
OF Gleason-Jackson and Felsch. The
shoeless one lifted high fly to Groh.
CLAP" Felsch, with his first chance to
swing on the ball with sincerity and
something depending upon him, lifted
one into the eager hands Of Pat Dun
can.
Claude "Lefty," Williams, whose wild
ness gave the second game to the Reds,
passed the first man in the first inning,
but by the time the second was reached
he had the range and control. Duncan
and Ncale thought SO; they struck out
most vehemently.
Eller, also seemed anxious at the
start, but he rubbed the ball pensively
on his breeches. In the second inning
he struck out Gandil, Risberg and
Schalk, although he got very little
help or encouragement from Rigler,
who had run amuck at the Rhincland
lcr's visibility seemed to be exceeding
ly low.
In the third inning the Reds failed to
get the ball out of the infcld Williams,
who had run amuk at the Rhineland,

lot. Young Eller continued to rub the
ball on his breeches in the Sox half
Of the third. This time he struck out
Williams, Liebod and Eddie Collins,
making it six strike-outs in row.
This was the first time that anything
like that ever happened in a world
series. Eller struck out Collins after
three balls had been called on him
The crowd gasped. 1t was startling
but could it continue? The experts
shook their heads gloomily. No human

t.ller was putting upon his, they de-

Roush got as far as second in the
fourth when Rsbcrg fumbled his
, groundcr. He stole when Schalk LEI
one 90 by him, but there he stopped
in his tracks. Pat Duncan lifted ono
to Jackson, making the third out and
putting bomb into the superstition
that the Reds might crash through IL
the fatal fourth.
Ellcr held the gruelling pace
through the fifth inning. Weaver

3 pitcher. Jackson, after some earncs,
swings, went out the same way. Ther
Felsch, heraldcd as a wrccker of bal
games. struck out. The heavy artillcr,
Of tho Sox looked foolishly impoten
at this point. Eller continued to shin,
the ball on his right thigh.
Kopf started the fifth for the Red
with smash to centre, but Neale, aftel
