The news scimitar. (Memphis, Tenn.) 1907-1926, 1919-10-04

WINGED that he isn't the only good left
handler In the game. Dickie Kerr is still
doing business at the same old stand.
Three scattered hits were all that
Kerr permitted the smuggling Reds to
secure off his delivery. He handled the
Red wrecking crew as II they were
toddling infants.
Pat Duncan, ex- Baron outfielder, now
Of the Reds, just must have his share
OF the base hits, regardless of how few
| they may be. Friday there were only
three to be distributed, but Pat got one
Of them.
The fatal fourth inning, which was
the round in which the first two Red
victories were accomplished, was
! fizzle Friday Kerr decided that round
wound be the same as the rest, and
accordingly presented the Reds with a
large goose-egg.
When left handler is good he Is
GOOD. The Reds realize il now.
Eddie Cicotte and Claude Williams
are now very probably wondering why
they couldn't do the same thing as
Tickle Fate turned and gave the Reds
kick Friday. II was Ray Fishers
wild heave with two Sox aboard that
gave the Chicagoans their first two
runs,
Jack Dempsey, heavyweight cham
pion, sat at the ringslde and watched
Kerr knock the props out from under
the Reds Jack said early in the con-
test that the Reds had about as much
chance to beat Kerr as Jess Willard did
to beat Jack at Toledo.

Joe Jackson was extremely anxious to
! knock the center field fence down in
the sixth, and took such vicious swing
that several Sox players on the bench
were given a severe cold by the draft
An aviator circling overhead fell into
the air pocket that Joe's swing made
and came near falling. Joe finally got
Texas Lacquer, falling TO meet the ball
squarely.
Ed Roush remained idle Friday The
ball hawk Of the Reds whose fielding
marked the first two games, had moth
ing to do all afternoon except watch the
SoX win.
Says Kid Gleason: Kerr pitched
| remarkable game and great credit
should be given him. When ] said that
| the Sox were the greatest comeback
club In the world, knew what l was
talking about We came back today,
but It won't be necessary for any more
comebacks." w.

were against them when they lost the

Kerr, He pitched wonderful game
and should be given due credit. How
| ever, my players were on strange
field, and as quickly as they become ac-
customed to the playing conditions they
will have the pace that stopped the Sox
in the fist two games,
| In the ex-fatal fourth, Pat Duncan
| had a chance to put the Reds in the
running, as there was Redleg aboard
the sacks, but Pats best offering was
fast grounder, which resulted in a
twin killing.
Don't forget that Dick Kerr formerly
twrled for the Chicks at Russwood,
Even II the Chicks can't win pennants.

Another hot day was served TO the
fans and the peeling began as soon as
bugs arrived at the park. 1t was 50
degrees.
II was considerably warmer in the
Reds dugout when the Sox started win
ming the game
Cincinnati fans who had figured on
the Reds winning five straights ars
now feeling that they will be lucky II

A fan and his wife flew in their plane
to Chicago to see the game.

The Reds, who have been feasting on
the fat OF the land, were sore bunch
when they had to eat crow served by

battle with Jimmy Smith. There have
been no casualties as yet
