game lead the Reds today invaded the
home territory of the White Sox for
their third contest Of the world series
the game which will virtually decide
whether the American League repre-
sentatives are to be serious contend
ers for the championship.
The two teams andNCincinnati fans
arrived here early today on more than
a dozen trains, the Reds confident they
will return to Ohio Sunday night pos
sessed Of basebalrs highest honors and
the white Sox confident they will re-
cover on their home ground. Despite
the to odds on the White Sox at
the opening Of the series and the loss
Of two games, the followers Of Com
iskey's Sox were confident that their
last favorites will come back, and the
fans began to gather at the South Side
park last night to await the opening Of
the ticket office. BY midnight more
than 100 were in line and all night the
ticket seekers increased In numbers.
Special details OF police were placed
at the park hut no disorders were re-
ported. Among the walters were a
sprinkling Of women, each determined
to get a place In the bleachers. In
order to prevent tickets falling into the
hands of scalpers special arrange
ments were made by the management
Each purchaser was required to have
exact change for his ticket ready. No
person was alleWed to purchase more
than one ticket, and after receiving the
pasteboard every one was required to
go directly into the park. Ten thousand
bleacher tickets and $500 for the pavil-
ion were placed on sale.
Early Doubt as to Pitchers.
Discussion centered this morning on
who would be given the pitching as
signment for the Sox. Altho manager
Gleason announced last night he would
probably select Dick Kerr. there was
q general feeling that the youngster
would not be called on at such a criti-
cal time. t-.. t
Eddie Cicotte, leading hurler Of the
American League. who was pounded
from the box in the first game. and
Urban Faber, hero of the 1917 series.
are considered the foremost probabili-
ties. Faber has pitched only indiffer-
ent ball this season. Herr Is facing
his first world series and has just fin
ished his first big league season. The
fact that he Is q southpaw may bring
him the decision because Of the way in
which Lefty Williams held down the
Reds yesterday in spite of the defeat.
Manager Moran will pitch Hod Eller
and Ray Fisher. both stars of the cam
paign.- In what betting. was seen today
the Reds were 8 to 8 favorites. There
was plenty Of Cincinnati money but
few takers among the Chicago fans.
