Game to Be Played in Chicago Today

Cincinnati, Oct. 2-(By The AS
sociated Press.)-The Cincinnati
Reds frightened their grasp on the
series flag today by defeating the
Chicago White Sox. 4 to 2. AS
they also won the opener yester-
day they need but three more
games to land the series.
Cincinnati has developed in the
brief period of the series so far a
habit of celebrating the fourth.
There is nothing patriotic about it,
for in this victory-mad town the
fourth" means an inning, not a
holiday.
The game yesterday was safely
slowed away in the fourth and when
that inning arrived today the fans
emitted a roar in demand of an
encore.
In a measure the Cincinnati bats
men responded, but the person who
really took the demand to himself
apparently was Claude Williams,
the Sox left handler who was on
the mound. He passed three bats
men and three scored. An aviator
flew close to the grandstand roof
at this stage of the proceedings,
but if he was looking for Williams,
a wit in the press stand remarked,
he flew altogether too low. From
where Williams floated the thirty
fourth story insurance building
looked like a speck on the land
scape.
In the sixth he passed another
runner and the latter scored. but
the tally was not needed. The first
three were enough. 1t was noted
that all four of the Red runs were
counted by players who had been
passed to first.
Sox Score in Seventh.
Chicago's two runs came in the
seventh, the result of two hits and
an error by Cincinnati. The visitors
garnered 10 hits, but they were scat
tered throughout the game. They
hit the ball viciously at other times,
but the Red helders were there to
receive them Weaver, Sax third
baseman, played in hard luck. He
