PITCHING RECORDS
 IN SIXTH BATTLE

Cincinnati. October 7.--Dick Kerr, midget southpaw pitcher for the Chica- go White Sox again tonight was the hero of the White Sox rooters after having pitched his team to another victory here today in the sixth of the worlds series baseball games.
 Walter Reuther, southpaw hero of Cincnnati's victory in the first of the series blew up in the sixth inning and was sent to the bench. Jimmy Ring, the Red Legs right handler. who pitched winning game for his club at Chicago last week, finished.
 Although Cincinnati knocked eleven hits off of Kerr while Reutber and Ring were touched for only ten hits. an analysis of today's pitching record shows that Kerr pitched steadier game. The little left handler walked only two men and struck out two Reuther and Ring gave a total of six bases on balls and only two strikeouts. Reuther and Ring each gave three passes, while the two strikeouts were credited to Ring.
 Following is the inning record of today's burlers:

HOWARD ID PLAY
 SEWANEE FRIDAY Bulldog Boosters Enthu- siastic Since Saturdays
 Battle

Howard fans have been in the best of spirits since the game Saturday, and Bulldog prospects have been looking considerably better since that game, when the locals made such great showing against the Auburn Tigers
 Backers of the local college consider the game victory for the Bulldogs, since they were able to score on and hold to three touch downs one of the heaviest and strongest of the southern colleges. The Auburn team out weighed the Bulldogs almost 20 pounds to the man.
 Coach Dillon found several weakness ses in tsle Howard team in Saturday s game, and has been working hard all the week to correct them. When the Tigers, they will be in almost perfect condition, although handicapped by the loss of two of them best men, Pee Head Walker. who played such a splendid game at quarter Saturday, and Wheeler, right guard on the Bulldog eleven Both men were injured in the game with Auburn, and it is not thought that they will be able to go in against the SeWanee team.
 The spirit of the Bulldog boosters IS excellent. and since last Saturday S game is all that could be desired. The students and friends of Howard are ex- pecting their favorites to put up a 1, strong game against Sewanee, and to make a splendid showing, if not win ming the game. Howard has very strong team this year. and ought to give the Tiger hard tussle.

Sox Not Out of H Yet
S|DEL|GHTS ON BIC
 VICTORY OF SOX

Cincinnati october 7-The seventh game of the series is scheduled for Red land field tomorrow The eighth game if necessary, will be played in Chicago Thursday.
 There was a rush for railroad offices after the game to cancel reservations for tonight. Hundreds of Chicago fans, be- lieving that the Sox still are in the race. decided to remain over.
 Trying to see the game for nothing was costly to Samuel Lowry, a Cincinnati youth. Lowry was astride a telephone pole just outside the park viewing the contest when he lost his balance and fell to the street. His left leg was broken. Cincinnati had preparations made for q huge celebration tonight The bands and red fire will be brought out tomor- row night if the Reds are victorious.
 Thousands of fans unable to gain ad- mittance to the park swarmed around newspaper bulletin boards down town
 
 hit or scored a run. There were groans from the crowd when the White, Sox were flashed as the winner.
 A novel serenade was given by the band just before the start Of the contest. After each verse or chorus of popular song the bandsmen would shout the name of a Cincinnati player and then render more music in his honor. Thousands of the bleacherites joined in the chorus.
 Clarence Rowland, whom Gleason suc- ceeded as manager of the Sox, occupied seat in the press box and rooted for a Sox victory. When Gandil came to bat in the tenth Rowland made the prediction that he would hit safely and break up the game
 Roush, the sensational Cincinnati out fielder, robbed the Sox of a victory in the eighth when he picked Risberg's liner off his shoes after a thrilling running catch and doubled Jackson at second.
 Ticket spectators got as much as s25 for grandstand seat today. Other seats offered at s15 and s2o were eagerly snapped up.

Slim" Sallee, who defeated the Sox to in the second game of the series, probably will be Manager Morans pitching choice, although he may de- eide to give Luque, the Cuban twirler, chance to face the Chicagoans, Sallee was batted hard in the second game, the Sox getting ten hits but only sue ceeded in scoring two runs.
 "Today's game was d heart-breaker for the Reds to lose" said Manager Moran tonight. We should have won it half dozen times. But the strain of the worlds series is beginning to tell on my players and they were bit unnerved. But they will regain them selves tomorrow and wind it up.
 Kerr pitched better ball than either Ruether or Ring. He demonstrated his gameness when he pitched himself out of a couple of tight places and got some cratic support. It is possible that I shall start Sallee against the Sox to- morrow"
 SOX ARE HITTING
 "The Sox have hit the& winning stride and although tremendous odds are against us, we are far from out of the race" said Manager Gleason.
 The players have begun to hit and it will be a different story from now on. They slammed everything Ruether and Ring had today and will do thg' same thing to Sallee if he pitches to- morrow
 Despite the fact that the breaks went against us, we played better brand of ball than the Reds. We should have cinched the game in the eighth only for Roush's luck in catching of Risbergs liner It would have gone for a double sure and we would have scored two runs. I am proud of kerE's pitching. He possessed extraordinary pitching skill and remarkable game ness"
