the ball on the first bound and, with

The laurels Kopf has earned in the
series were added to by his work

Daubert and Risberg all contributed
bits worthy of comment.
The crowd on hand was close to ca

seats in the field boxes at the extreme
ends Of either side and q small patch
in the left-hand corner Of the upper
grandstand being unoccupied. The

The Reds are the first National

since the Boston Braves copped In
1914, and the sixth representatives

their credit. incidentally. Gleason'e

Pat Duncan, the bush league bear
cat, proved a most prominent factor
in the triumph Of the Reds. In addi-
ton to some sterling work in the
field, he uncovered q flock of timely
drives his stick accounting for no
less than eight runs. while he per-
sonally escorted three over the pan.
Heinie Groh of the Reds and Dick
Kerr of the Sox have the unenviable
distinction of pulling the most notori-
Gus boners of the series. The Gin.
cinnati captain walked off second
base when he thought he was forced
by Roush In the first game. although
Kerr tried to make the middle cush-
ion in the NTH inning Of the sixth
game when 1t already was occupied.
But the umpires pulled one that went
unnoticed until John Heydler called
our attention to 1t yesterday. 1t
occurred in the third round Of

to complete 4 double play, because
E. Collins, who was forced at second,
interfered with Kopfs toss to first.
John Collins was on second when
Weaver hit the ball and went to

the rules he should have been sent
back to second on the Interference

1t, as did the fans and writer's.
1t looked as II Eller would be given
as short shrift as williams in the
| hrst inning. when Leibold opened
with single and took third on
Eddie Collins double to left. Eller
extricated himself by tanning Weaver
and Felsch and causing jackson to
lfft a puny fly. Had this Sox attack not
proved abortive the whole aspect OF
the battery probably would have been
changed.
