The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-10-02

chapter of the worlds series of 1919 we might pick Reuther. Besides pitching with great skill, he hit a three baggef
 into the crowd in center field in that turbulent fourth and drove in two runs He had great support. The Reds played with a rush and dash that must have sur prsed the White Sox It was all the more surprising because in practice the Chicagoans seemed much faster. In the game however. their work was drab and colorless as compared to the Reds, but | that's always the way a baseball club
 seems behind poor pitching
 l Cicotte can blame hi, ,sel for some of
 the disaster of the fourth He was very
 slow in making a play that would have | ended the inning before any runs had been scored Maybe it wouldn't have
 made much difference, however. Maybe 1 it would have delayed the inevitable. The l Sox couldn't hit Reuther-the Reds could
 hit Cicotte. There's the story in a nut i shell.
 PAT STARTED IT
 | Now we'll drop completely into baseball vernacular and tell the story of that ! fourth inning. Roush is out on a fly | to center. Pat Duncan, just up from
 the sticks, as the bali players say. and.
 like Reuther, playing his first worlds se-
 ries game, singles smartly to center.
 Larry Kopf, the short fielder, who was
 once traded to Brooklyn, and whose re.
 fusal to report there practically forced l Moran to keep him, hit a ball to Cicotte, 1 IL looked as if the pitcher had plenty
 of time to wheel and throw the ball to
 second and start double play which 1 would have ended the inning. But in- stead he waited that fatal few seconds l that are often the difference between vic- ttory and defeat in baseball. He finally make to Lz,t
 but too late for Rsberg to relay the ball
 to Gandil and double Kopf Greasy Neale followed with a single and a min ute later Ivy Wingo, the red-headed Carolinian, who did great work behind
 the bat for the Reds today, stepped up
 and siashed hit to right scoring Kopf and putting Neale on third and himseIf
 on second on the throw. The slaughter l was. on and the crowd was in a veritable | frenzy
 NOW came Ruether, always such good 1 Datsman that he has often hit in the pinches Tor the Reds this past season.
 ana subbed in the regular lineup to
 give additional hitting power. He l smashed the ball into the center field
 crowd almost on line. and Neale and
 Wingo scored. There was no luck or l accident about these hits. The Reds sim ply stepped forward and banged Cicotte's l delivery. Rath, the second baseman. who
 was once with the Sox years ago, crashed
 double over third. scoring Ruether. CICOTTE DAZED
 | "Swede" Risberg went from his position and talked to Cicotte as the ,,o4o~ap
 moved around in the box apparently
 somewhat dazed by the sudden onslaught.
 Jake Daubert was the next batter and
 when the barley between Risberg and Cicotte ended, Daubert slugged out a ! double. scoring Rath. "Kid' Gleason.
