R EAL BASEBALL
AND TEAM-W0RK
MADE WHITE S0X
Fans Confident That Chicago
American Champs Will
Come Back Strong

Chicago, Oct. 2.-Real baseball
backed by real teamwork; that is what
experts on the national game see be-
hind the 1919 American league pen
nant victory of the Chicago White
Sox, who today are awaiting second
chance to demonstrate their baseball
ability against the National league
contenders for the world flag. But
team work is not the only thing, they
say, that has brought about a winning
aggregation.
They point to Eddie Cicotte, with
his famous knuckle and shine ball, as
a big reason alone for the position of
Comiskey's mighty baseball machine.
He is declared to be the pitching mar
vel Of modern baseball, winning some
thing like 80 games this season. With
out him, they say, the White Sox's
chances would not have been so bright.
Of course pitcher cannot do it all,
experts declare in naming Catcher
Ray Schalk as another reason for the
victorious work of the White Sox.
He, they contend, has had much to do
with turning many a defeat into vic
tory by his quick headwork, for which
he has been noted since his leap from
the minors to the Chicago club eight
years ago.
But the man named as the person
chiefly responsible for the success of
the White Sox is Manager William
"Kid" Gleason, who has batted, for a
perfect average as leader of a gather
ing of temperamental athletes. One
baseball critic in calling attention to
his work said:
Gleason. has built to almost base
ball perfection the team that stands

The Reds had their big inning
in the fourth, when three men
rounded the circuit. Williams
pitched stellar ball from start to
finish, and had his support been
perfect the fatal third inning
trio would not have been record
ed. Sallee was touched freely by
the Sox, but the wizard Of the
mound kept his hits scattered,
and Chicago succeeded in annex
ing but two runs out of it's ten
bingles. All the, Chicago scoring
was done in the eighth. The
Reds fourth run came in the
sixth.
Schalk was again behind the
bat for the Sox, while Rariden
caught for the Reds : From a
pitching standpoint the victory
belonged to Williams, the White
Sox tWirler having, complete con-
troll over his delivery from start
to finish. Sallee had a streak Of
the luck or science that stood
him so we'll in hand in his great
days with the New York Giants.
He allowed the Sox to hit the
ball when q hit would not change
the aspect Of the score board, but
when the Sox could have turned
hits into runs Sallee teased them
with twisters which they could
not touch. It was a. lucky day
for Cincinnati all around, and
even it's errors were not OF a
fatal sort.

WILLIAMS VS., SALLEE

Cincinnati, O., Oct. with the
Cincinnati Reds, National league pen
nant winners leading by the sum total
of one game won, the worlds series OF
1919 in which the Chicago White Sox
are the other contenders will be re-
sumed here today. The weather man
predicts fair weather for the second
contest.
Manager Gleason indicated that he
would pitch Claude Williams, his star
left-hander. Manager Moran an
nounced that "Slim" Sallee would be
on the mound.
The winning Of yesterdays game
had one noticeable effect on the Gin
cinnati fans. The railroad Offices were
crowded all of. last night by local
baseball enthusiasts eager to get ac-
commodations to Chicago to witness
the first three games to be played
there Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
That yesterdays game upset predic-
tions was indicated by the fluctuation
of the betting Odds even money on
the Reds finding few takers and odds
being demanded by those who still be-
lieve the Sox will ultimately prove vic
tors. ri
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the Reds outplayed the visitors in
every department of the game yester-
day, but many who have watched
Comiskey's aggregation in their pen
nant fight maintain the team will
show true worth before the series are
over. The series will almost certainly
break all records relative to the
amount of money taken in at the
gates. The first days receipts were
more than $4,000 in excess of the
high records of first days receipts Of
a worlds series game when the Phila-
delphia Athletics played in New York
in 1911. At that time $77,359 was
taken at the gate while yesterday
s98,778 was the gross return and this
does not include the war tax collected.
The usual midnight attendance at
the bleachers gates, those who are
prepared to wait IA hours in order to
get the best seats that the bleachers
and pavilion afford were in evidence.
Toward morning the crowd became
even larger than that of yesterday.

SENATOR REED IS
GIVEN 0MELET BY
OKLAHOMA TOWN
Ancient Eggs Showered on Solon
Who Attempts to Speak
Against League

Ardmore, Okla, Oct. 2. Whether
an official investigation would be made
of a demonstration here last night
which resulted in the throwing of eggs
at United States Senator James A.
Reed Of Missouri, who was on the
platform at convention hall to deliver
an address in opposition to the peace
treaty and league of nations was the
subject of considerable discussion to-
day. The demonstration followed a
mass meeting Tuesday at which reso-
lutions were adopted censuring the
senator for his opposition to the
league Of nations covenant.
Last nights trouble began almost
as soon as Mayor William Freeman
had risen to introduce the senator.
Mayor Freeman was in the midst of
an explanation that he was introduc-
ing the speaker because he was mayor
of the city and not because he sup
ported views of those opposed to the
league covenant when the lights went
out and volleys of eggs hurtled to-
wards the stage.
When the lights were restored it
was found that virtually none of those
on the stage including the senator,
the mayor and members Of the recep-
tion committee had escaped the ef-
fects of the eggs.
Later officials attempted to con-
tinue the program but the crowd re-
fused to listen. Efforts by Senator
Reed to deliver his address were met
with jeers, Kisses, cat calls and cheers
for President Wilson.
Finally the meeting was abandoned
and Senator Reed was driven to his
hotel. ..... ...
