Spectators Hard HIT.
Thousands of tickets fell into the
hands of spectators, and these gentry
were hit harder than ever before In the
worlds series. They tried to carry on
their nefarious work under the very
noses OF the police around the ball park,

beseeched to buy had a good laugh In

That the ninth game, should It be nee

volumes for the honesty Of baseball and
the officials. They really did toss a coin
and fate handed the possible contest to
Cincinnati. where II Is hoped It will be
treated as It should be treated.
With Sallee doing the pitching for the
Cincinnatis to-day a fairly lusty attack
" the White Sox was anticipated. But
I was thought that Sallee would be able

bility IN his first duel with the White
Sox and his victory In spite Of a better
pitching performance by Williams.
But to-day there was a difference. The
Reds were not hitting. Cicotte refused to

Not since Thursday, October II. 1909,

This frost was due TO the queer

When It became evident that the sew

one hour before the game started.
How any sane person. even Mr.. Herr

comprehension.
People who held season tickets At
Redland Field were able to make reser-
vations for the game, but the general
baseball public was left out In the cold.
The Cincinnati club has adopted rather
an aEtayonistic attitude toward Its sup

many OF the other 1900 that could
have seen the game decided that they
had enough ba"eball for 1919.

Special Despatch TO THE Sun.
CINCINNATI. Oct. s.-Despite the fact
that only two worlds series contests
have lasted the limit Of seven games,
and that the others were decided In nve
or six at the outside, thus furnishing
proof that the players always have con-
scientiously ecerted themselves 10 WIN
as quickly as possible, the customary
uncal,ed for and ridiculous charge or
hippodroming Is in circulation here.
Many fans in this city tonight were
arguing that the series purposely Is De-
ing prolonged to benefit the club overs
'8ut." argued a fan with faith In the
national game, ''the players do not oe-
rive any financial benefit from the con-
test after the nth game. Why should
they string II outT'

but suppose the magnates were 10

tionai Commission could profit? Do you
think the players would refuse to OBEY
orders?' H
"If the club owners" responded the
other. made any such proposal to the
S;layers they would place themselves IN

entire baseball structure. Do you think
for a minute that any of the Red play

would have consented to jeopardize their
financial reward by permitting the Sox
to win the game and thus prolong the
! series? Such talk In twadd'e."
The fact of a sharp falling on in the
| ettendance at to-day's contest was used
as an argument that the fans had lost
| faith In the integrity OF the series. There
were only a few hundreds more than
! 10, 900 at the game. and In view Of the
splendid weather conditions 1t was Inn
possible to account for the marked de-
crease from the $4,000 who witnessed
the game of the preceding day except
on the theory OF displeasure on the part
Of the Cincinnati fans over the failure
| Of Moran's men to register their fifth
lvictcry yesterday
The enthusiasts had been worked up
| to so high a pitch of confidence by the
| four clean cut victories Of the Reds that
when their favorites slumped so badly In
| the sixth game they became bitter.
Much fault was found with the Ma
| tional Commission for lengthening the
series to nine games as the fans In Red
land realized that had the former limit
Of seven games been in force the Reds
would have collected first prize after
their fourth victory and nothing but the
| shouting to be attended to.
So far as the frightening Of the series
Is concerned. the players had no obtec-
ton as each team was confident of win
| ming inside of seven games As the case
| stands the Reds are In III favor with the
| home fans and can only regain their
| esteem by winning one OF the two remain
ing games and clinching the pennant

The way things look now Chicago
really has a good chance to win. The

Both jackson and Felsch are cracking

ton to know that In each Of the last

days and to-day's games cleanup hits

Moran to change pitchers.
While the Sox batters show signs of
getting into their old time stride. the
hard hitters of the Reds continue in their
slump. Groh got his third hit Of the
series to-day. but Roush looked sad at

Jackson's Drive Sends In THO Runs;
Eddie Collins Finds His Batting Orb

Joe jackson, the hard hitting out
fielder OF the White Sox. once more as
serted himself and drove In two runs
just enough to win the game. Felsch
drove In the other two. The counters
for which Jackson was responsible were
made possible by John Collins. who
suddenly rose to the magnitude of q
real star and became the batting hero
OF the day.
John. whom some call Shane, got
three hits, two singles and a double.
the two baser being combed of Luque,
a Highlander. II had been understood
that Collins could not hit a Highlander
under any circumstances. and because
Of that understanding Memo Leibo,d had
been used whenever a righthanded
pitcher was In the box for the Reds.
But when Fisher and then Luque took
the mound for the Cincinnatis Kid
Gleason refused to make any change.
Perhaps ne remembered that Neaie of
the Reds. who was supposed to be unable
to hit lefthanders, got three hits on
Kerr yesterday.
With the rise Of the White Sox to
their full might came a similar rise on
the part of Eddie Collins. The great
second baseman had been playing only
an ordinary game In the field and had
not been hitting. While he still left
something to be desired in so far as his
work at second was concerned. for he
made an error and let one ball go
through him for a hit which should
have been an out. Collins found his bat
ting orb He accounted for couple of
singles, both Of which figured in the
run making.
No Hero Among Reds.
For the Reds there was nary hero
Rath, Groh. Duncan, Neale and Wingo
made the Ave hits credited to the Reds
Nobody got more than one hit Dun
cans was the most important of the
five. for It came after Groh had doubled
to left In the sixth inning and scored
the run which enabled the Cincinnatis
to escape a shutout.
In between Groh and Duncan came
Eddie Roush, who tapped the ball for
an infie'd out And again the Roush
delegation groancd II has been dolnA
little else whenever Roush has come to
bat, for ne obtained only, four hits In
seven contests. His fielding in the
main was up to his high standard. but
even ne nodded when he dropped Ris-
bers's fly in the ninth for his first error
OF the series, But there was no dam
age, as Risberg was caught by Roush's
throw Mt second.
Shano Collins and the rest of the
White Sox got after Sallee rather cary.
To start the shindis Shane banged a
single to left. the same sort of hit
as he had made In the first game. Until
| to-day Shane had not been able to get
a second hit, At any rate. suffice II to
say that Shane finally did hit and when
Eddie Collins sacrificed. Shane went on
TO second. Weaver sent a high one to
Roush but Shane would not risk going
to third. Shane had to move along all
the way - the plate when jackson sent
one baser to left
