park vest rday afternoon and shut out
NE arrogant Cincinnati Reds in the
third game 81 the worlds series by a
score of 81 too. Chicago has won one
game and the Reds two.
The performance OF Kid Gleason's
piayers yesterday afternoon was the
iesperste stand Of the bruised gladia-
Tor with his back against the wall.
With the bantamweight finger Dick
Kerr ia the box pitching left handed
tangents which baffled the Redland
sfug gers, the White Sox came back to
M and displayed a scrappiness which
halted the boastful clan from the Ohio
valley IN the very height OF their JOY
FL confidence.
The sox were back on their home
meadow surrounded by a friendly
eathering Of more than $4,000 fans.
' Pie cool breezes Of Lake Michigan
were refreshing after the humid at
riosphare Of Redland.
White sox Bets Jump.
The sox, IN turning the Reds back
with such decisive superiority yester-
afternoon, have justified the hopes
os their American league supporters
who have contended all along that the
sox had not hit their normal gait in the
Iifst two games. Chicago does not

lion hearted Dick Kerr brought the
Sox back into the series as a dan
sefous contender, and the Chicago
roofers unloosed their purse strings
the game and went hunting
the pop eyed Cincinnati rooters
who locked to town yesterday morn
ZAP with offers Of big odds on Pat
doran.s Reds. All morning long spe-
ial trains brought Redland rooters
INTO the city. Before game time they
prohnenaded along Michigan boule-
yard. singing and shouting, and mo-
saopoiized all the noise and attention

Side the Chicago fans waited pa
ientiy In line from daylight. AT
noontime 10000 Of them jammed the
horoughfares around Thirty-fourth
,treet and Shields avenue. For two
ays they had been reading Of the
aoiefuI dofngs in Cincinnati feeling
lhat something must be wrong with
Gleason's team.
Reds Fought Bravely.
They poured out en- masse at dawn
10 Be on hand to cheer the Sox in this
simportant third game. Had the
been defeated their chances would
ave disappeared. The very uphill
ght which Inundated the Reds
moved the Sox in their most danger
ons attitude. They came back more
spifited than their friends expected.
Tbe Sox are not beaten not by long
shot The humiliating whitewash was
stunning shock to the Reds and
heir friends. The Cincinnati bats,
which were so effective in the first
were useless. The Reds fought
brayely and stubbornly, and their de-
tense at times was just as brilliant
IS IL has been when they are at their
best The great change in the two
clubs came in the spirit and the con-
iience with which the Sox went
bout their work. They had lot Of

mapping words Of encouragement to

There ives one disastrous break In
Inc Cincinnati defense. This costly
erfof vas made by Ray Fisher, whom
Moran elected to pitch the opening

would he perfectly at home on

her hammer and tongs. In the
