COMISKEY PARK. CHICAGO.
Oct. e.--it was do or die for both
ball clubs when the White Sox and
the Reds went TO grips today. in
the eighth game OF the worlds
series.
After corning from behind. when
even their staunchest supporters
had abandoned hope. the Sox were
face to face with their big oppor-
tunity. They must win today. or
scc their game stand in hostile Red
land go for naught. on the other
hand. today's game was also the
crisis for the Reds. Ellcr was rec
ognized as the rock on which their
hopes OF the title rev.
The Sox were acclaimed to the
echo when they appeared on the
field at 1880 O'Clock.
Confidence showed In their every
move.
The Reds got a spatter Of ap-
plause.
Tho n stiff wind had blown away
the threatening rain clouds. 1t was
sweeping the field annoyingly. The
sun was warm.
The sox enjoyed different sort
OF home coming today. Last week
they came back from the initial In
vasion OF Redland twice beaten. their
spirit near the breaking point. and In
disgrace. Ii was different crew that
unloaded itself this morning.
The fighting edge had been re.
newed and the Sox were ready for
the death struggle that impends. The
old punch that carried them thru the
American league season had been res
urrected. Eddie cicotte had come
back. and the boys were hitting
again.
The Reds. too. were in a fighting
mood. Three days ago Moran and
his men. with three days TO so. fig'
ured themselves champions. They
figured the first defeat on their re-
turn TO Cincinnati Tuesday philo-
sophically. They still had a two game
lead and plenty of pitching strength
In reserve. They played ball in Tues
days game. but they did not fight.
Yesterday when the Sox attack In
the first inning registered the first
run they apparently recognized for
the first time thiN-week that they
still have battle on their hands
and they fought like marines thruou'
the game. They jawed the umpires
and they rode" the Sox, and on one
occasion flung sharp comment al
their mates. Today their over-conti
dence has melted away. They are
ready to fight IL out. instead of coast
ing into the championship on the
momentum Of their first smashing
rush.
In any event. there Is going to bs
battle when the teams 30 into the
eighth game. Two thousand dollars
or so represents the difference he.

vidual cuts In this series. and botf
clubs now have chance. Some few
money players regulations seemed
sure to be made or broken before the
last out is waved in the game sched'
