TO snow the pltcnlnR stTenBth shot -
Moran has displayed in this remarkable
series of 1919. Moran now has called
on all his regulars, Ruether, Sallee
Fisher, Ring and Eller. and each has
proved an ace
Eller, his fifth choice. gave the great
est exhibition Of them all. Usually at
this stage of a world series the manager
of the winning team has used his star
pitcher at least twice. often three times.
But all Of Moran's twirlers are stars.
One now can see how the Reds were
terribly moderated during the National
League season. The ability with which
they won from the Giants in crucial Sc
ries and the fact that they won their
championship with the highest percent
age in ten years should have opened the
eyes of experts. That much we must
confess. But they were in the National
League, the goat of world series con-
tests. and few looked upon the Redland
wonders as a really great ball club.
Pat Moran alone realized his strength.
Discussing his success with the Reds
late in the Giant series. the Fitchburg
wonder remarked: People seem to
think l have done n miracle with the
Reds, and there seems to be an impress
sion around that the Reds are an ordl-
nary team. winning by some magic that

fact / found a really great team in Gin
cinnati, good pitchers and good batters,
in fact a team which should win for any
manager.
Knew Pitching Value.
Moran especially knew the value of
his pitchers 1t might have been argued
that Il would have been good baseball
TO throw Ruether and Sallee back at the
Sox as quickly as possible in view OF
their plendd work In the first and sec
ond games. Bill Carrigan worked on
that principle in 1915. when he failed
to pitch Ruth who led the league, be-
cause he was winning with Shore. Foster
and Leonard.
But Pat was unwilling to slight any
one on his staff. There was considerable
comment because Eller had not been
used. During the season Moran used
him more often than any of his other
twirlers There was talk that he had
hurt his arm. also the mean prattle that
he lacked gameness, and the impression
was pretty prevalent that he would no.
start a game.
All this time Eller was wearing his
heart away to get his chance. The
White Sox had disregarded him early in
his career. They didn't think enough OF
him to exercise a measy $500 option
on him and the boy thirsted for
chance to show them up.
Moran used him in good time and the
shine IAN artist certainly showed his
appreciation. His game even was more
spectacular than that of Kerr and Ring
other pitchers in this series to pitch
three hit shutouts. AS in Kerr's game
only four men reached base In Kerr's
game only one Red reached second
where as two White sox got as far as
third to-day. But Ellers strikeouts
made his game even a greater individ-
ual feat than the classic twirled here b.
the little Sox lefthander last Saturday.
Ellef Sets Record I'm Strikeouts.
Eller famed nine of the White Sox
sluggers. He struck out the entire side
in the second and third innings, a new
worlds series record.
Eiier used his shine ball throughout,
but his delivery had mores on It than a
shine. He had terrific speed. which with
perfect control OF his SINNER" after tho

After striking out the side in the second
and third he tossed out both Weaver and
Jackson on infeld taps in the fourth and
then closed the round by tanning Felsch
on three pitches. Hold went through the
entire White Sox lineup, retiring all

mate Filler made n reputation as a hit
ter last season and he lived UP to II to-
day. He hit around 800, and severa
times broke up games with long hits. A
home run off RUDE Benton enabled hin
to defeat the Giants in that great double
header series on the Polo Grounds las
August.
ElIer's Double starts Rally.
To-day it was Ellers long double t.
left centre which opened the sixth in
ming and paved the way for the big Rec
inning which completely upset the Whit,
Sox and threw their rooters into wilC
dsmay. Eller found an opponent worth,
