ard Schalk Duncan, seeing Jackson
start the peg. pulled up at third and
might have remained there. but as the
ball hurtled toward the plate Cicotte
reached up to get it. That motion d.
verified the ball and it went rolling
toward the stands. Duncan dashed IN
across the plate and Kopf continued 20
second.
Neale's Hit Settled II
Then came Neale the Greasy and
plastered hit just beyond Joe Jack
son. 1t went for two-bagger, and
Kopf had plenty of time to score. That
ended all hope for the White Sox TO
nunch any sort OF run acrss IN the
pitching that young Jimmy Ring was
nutting up this afternoon. The White
Sox nd been turned into white rab-
bits again in their native rabbit war
rem. .,,
1t is beginning to percolate through
the fingers Of the wise money who
picked the Sox to win this series,
which already looks so Red, that the
sluggers of Gleason cannot slug the
Reds pitchers to any great extent.
Also the pitching staff of the SoX looks
considerably more meagre than II dld
a. the start of the series, and 1t looked
meagre enough then.
For tomorrow il begins to look like
Walter Ruether, the untamed native
son. and Claude Williams. whose Wild,
ness in the pickle belt lost the second
game for the White Sox. Perhaps wild,
Wild Williams will be soothed into a
calmer frame of mind by the fragrant
breezes from the stockyards, and per
hans the native son OF the Golden West
viii be considerably less effective win
his bat. But that looks Ike the
lineup.
Sox Manager Worried
The crowH feet and other lines that
have been creasing the brow OF VIII
lam Gleason have become intensihed
since this thing began. lie announced
that it would be Cicotte, Williams ana
Kerr through the series to the finish,
whatever the finish might be. lie did
not announce that Felsch would be
sacrificing his way through the series
Tha. was one Of the things that was
kept from the public prints.
The confidence of the Reds Is now
established. There Is only one tning
that might shake it. That would be
for the Sox to start hitting, but a
whole lot of people have already
strained their ears beyond repair
through listening for the detonatlons
that would come with White Sox bat
ting rally.
Chicagoans came 10 the park to-day
filed with optimism and hope, but
they went away empty Of everything
but high proof gloom. IT looks as
though this fourishing municipality
was preparing TO toss number o.
towels into Comiskey Park if tomor-
rows game should go against them.
Interest in the series seemed TO nave
been revived to-day by the victory OF
Dick Kerr yesterday. and the bleachers
we're stuffed before l o'clock. The
Woodland Bards, who were in such a
despondent mood when yesterday S
game started, were clipper and chesty
to-day.
The acrimony which developed over
the skirmish between Jimmie smith
and Eddie Collins yesterday afternoon
lasted over The Chicagoans declare
that there was no justification for any
bitterness. All that Collins did 10
Smith was TO spit in his face smith
couldn't take the joke and wanted to
fight. That's Cincinnat's version.
II was given out scmi-of'icially AZ an
early hour that Monsieur Edouard
+ Cicotte, who had exploded with such Il
/ loud detonation at Cincinnati. had been
repaired and would do the pitching for
