when the ball bounded past j. collins
He was held at third when Rariden
grounded out, but registered on a rap
over the hot corner that netted
Ruether two bases. Ruether Tailed
when Risberg messed up Rath's hop
per and then hit Ruether in the back
with the ball trying to head MN on ON
at third. Rath made second on this
hcave stole third and tried to tally
on Daubert's loft to Jackson, but was
cut down at the plate.
The Reds kept trying and had sew
eral openings thereafter, but could
not work a man around the bases
Felsch's muff of n long fly put Duncan
On third with two out in the fifth
Neale singled off Kerr's glove and
gled, was sacrificed to second. and
Groh walked in the seventh. Then
Risberg started a fast double play to
check the attack. In the eighth. after
Gandil distinguished himself by run
ming to the box seats in right to
spear Duncan's foul, and Kopf nearly
knocked Kerr down with liner the
pitcher mana ged to freeze onto, Neale
uncovered his third hit of the matinee
and took second on Raridens rap
forced by Ring This was the last
chance the Reds had to chalk up a
counter. for although Daubert singled
with one away in the ninth he was
forced by Groh. and the latter was
Tagged trying to steal.
Unsupported singles by Weaver and
Felsch and walk, on which Schalk
reached second. constituted the sum
total of the Sox offensive until the
fifth, when the beginning of the end
for Ruether was seen on passes to
Risberg and Schalk Kerr filled the
bases by hopping hit through Kopf.
and Risberg changed his mind about
trying to score after Roush got j.
Collins fly. He registered when f..
Collins lofted to the center fielder. but
Kerr gummed what promised to be a
who wisely had stayed on second.
Roush's throw was taken by Groh.
who ran over to within few feet of
the middle sack and tagged Kerr, who
made no effort to get back to first.
The sox got one of the breaks they
have been yearning for in the sixth,
when Duncan and Kopf permitted
Weaver's short fly to fail safely be-
tween them. 1t gave the Gleasons the
opening they were looking for and
they were quick to take advantage
the ball could be recovered and scored
when Jackson promptly laced single
to center. At this juncture Felsch pro-
duced a mighty wallop to left center
for two bases that cashed Jackson
from first. marked the passing OF
Reuther and brought Ring into the
game. After Gandil had popped,
Felsch moved up on Risberg's death
and, trotted home with the tieing run
on Schalk's single to left. The pep
perry backstop stole second with ease,
but was left when Groh made good
play on Kerr's rap over third.
Passes Ring issued to Jackson and
Gandil in the eighth were nullffied
when Roush made a corking forward
running catch of Risberg's liner and
converted it into twin killing. Lie
bold was left on second after draw
ing a walk and purloining the has
sock with two gone in the ninth. But
1t was different in the tenth, when
Weaver, jackson and Gandil collabo-
rated to manufacture the counter that
gave the Sox two wins against the
four the Reds have attained.
The catch Roush made of Risberg
hardly exceeded that accomplished by
Duncan off Eddie Collins in the sec
ond inning, except that there was
more at stake. with two men on and
only one out in the eighth. In addi
tion to these fielding high spots Gan
dill and Kerr contributed some worth
while pieces.
Rfsberg's ewo errors. one of which
cost a run, were both excusable, in
that they were of the mechanical
brand; but FeIsch's three-base muff
Of Duncan's fly in the fifth was a
horrible thing. Hap failed utterly
to gauge its fight and circled under
it like an amateur. Hap's timely
double in the following inning was
needed to erase the memory Of that
error from the minds Of Sox sup
porters.
Until yesterday the Sox had only
one earned run to their credit In the
are far short Of the total of sixteen
amassed to date by the Reds.
Kerr was presented with bejew-
eled token Of the esteem of some
Texas oil operators just prior to the
game. The diminutive hurler is a
native of the Lone Star state. They
are almost as strong for native sons
down there as in California.
Y Risberg overran third fifteen feet
in the fifth on Kerr's scratch hit. He
would have been an easy out had
Groh. made an effort to tag him, but
the Reds captain did not even at
tempt it. Heinie looks great at times

Rath plainly blocked Jackson's
progress at second on GandIrs hit in
the ninth. 1t was an obvious case
of interference and Umpire Nallin's
failure to call it probably cost the
Sox another run. Gen. Joe was
doubled off second when Roush grab
bed Risbergs liner. whereas had he
been on third. where he belonged.
he undoubtedly could have scored
after the catch.
