worlds series two years ago. He stole
third when that sack was occupied,
but like Kerr he was forgiven when he
won his game.
But Kerr went UP in the air.
yet he regained his calmness shortly
after and again was firmly planted on
terra firma. shooting those twisting
curves at the Reds with everything that
he had on every pitch. And let 1t be
known that the little fellow wriggled
out of some mighty ugly situations.
Sitting out those two innings in-which
the Reds scored blocks Of two runs
more wide awake support would have
held the Reds to one run. Had Collins
been little more alert ON a steal at
second base by Daubert, the Reds would
not have scored in the third inning.
With one out in the third inning
Daubert whacked a single to right. his
first hit since the opening game. Kerr
curved a third strike over on Groh for
the second out Daubert went down to
second on the first pitch to Roush, and
Schalk. who has been sensing all Gin
cinnati steals, called for a pitchout.
Rays throw was low, but Collins got

game, smashed out a hot double to right

but this time it wasn't big enough to
hold Ruether.
Luck I'm Reds HUNS in Fourth.
There was also an element of luck
in the two Cincinnati runs In the fourth.
Neale opened with a warm slam to right
centre which John Collins did we'll to
get a hand on it But he couldn't stop

Ruether. the terrible biffer, got
double over third base. 1t was one of
those hits where a few inches difference
made 1t fair or foul Even the players
were in doubt and thought that Rigler,
the third base umpire. called 1t foul

Risberg, who threw to third to cut of
Ruether. but he hit the runner and
Ruether scored, Rath going to second
Weaver claimed Ruether stuck out his
arm at this throw. but Rigler paid no
attention to It. Rath then stole third.

throw.
II looked as though the sox were
started on the worse route of any

catching Deubert's sacrifice fly he made
splendid peg home and doubled Rath
at the plate.
With one exception luck helped the
Sox little in their batting. That was
when Weaver opened the sixth inning
with fly which Duncan and Kopf per-
mitted to fall safely between them for
double. But the Reds atoned for this
omission by sterling catches all through
the game II was the Cincinnati pitch
ing that snapped under the strain rather
than the Red fielding.
Duncan shows Skill.
Schalk was on second with two out in
the third when Eddie Collins came up.
