tired to allow Murphy to appear in
the role of pinch hitter, but he
merely fattened Eller's strike-out
record, and in the ninth Mayer went
to the mound for the Sox. His
wildness ~as partly responsible for
the final run with which the visitors
capped their score.
Umpire Chases Schalk.
Schalk, premier catcher of the
American league, or any other
league according to his admirers,
,, came forward as the first player to
be chased by an umpire during the
series. 1t was in the sixth. when
most everything happened, that this
occurred Groh had slid to the
plate, accumulating large holdings
of base line real estate on the facade
Of his anatomy, and Schalk claimed
that he touched the runner before
the latter had plowed his way to the
plate. In his excitement he jumped
at Umpire Rigler's protector and
with his fists jolted the judicial air
there impounded. Rigler pointed to
the coop aud Schalk, mumbling
things that the late Noah Webster
never encountered in his researches,
made way for Lynn. who caught the
remainder of the game for the Sox.
The field was in excellent condi-
ton despite the rain of yesterday
and $3.50 persons paid to witness
the exhibition. The sun shone
brightly and the temperature was to
the liking of players and spectators
alike.
Rath Stays on Second.
In the first round Rath reached
| first on free transportation and was
| sacrificed to second, but neither
Groh nor Roush could deliver and
he got no further. In their half the
Sox did little better, Liebold, the
first man up. waited for four wide
| ones and took second on an inheld
| out and reached third on Viewers
single, which was checked, but not
captured, by Eller. TIL partisan To-
cal crowd called long and loud
for a run, but Jackson, despite a new
set of lucky" hairpins, went out on
a pop fly to Groh and Felsch flew to
F, left.
In the second and third the crowd
was treated to the remarkable ex-
hibition in which Gandil. Risberg,
Schalk, Williams, Liebold and Ed
Collins struck out. In the Reds
half of the second Duncan and Neale
, famed and kopf interposed foul
out to Schalk, and in the third the
Reds did but little better, going out
in rotation on inheld hits. In the
fourth, after Daubert and Groh had
flied out to Felsch, Roush was safe
on Risberg's juggle and stole second,
but Duncan left him there with a fly
to Jackson. In the fifth Kopf singled,
but was forced moment later by
Neale, who himself was caught steal
ing, while Rariden flied out to CEN
ter. In their half, with two down,
sSchalk7 singled. but Williams whitfield
and again the Sox failed to threaten.
Eller Fools Them.
Nothing could have appeared less
suspicious than Eller when he came
| to the plate at the beginning of the
sixth round. AS a pitcher, nothing
was expected of him and among

Eller connected with one in the

Jackson, whose mind appeared to be
| puzzling over the jinx that had set
tied on his hairpins, was slow in
starting for,it, and Felsch, who was

too far away. The net result was a
double which surprised none more

Eller trotted home with the first
run. Rath was advanced to second
