SENSATIONAL PITCHING FEATURES
FIFTH GAME OF BASEBALL SERIES
Cincinnati leeds But One
MOre Cane to Win
the Pennant.

cHIcA eo; oct. s.-The Reds today
Won the fitth game Of the worlds
idries defeating the Chicago Whitesox,
5 10 o, Ia a. contest that developed SEN
.ationaI pitching, sharp fielding, one
sided batsmanship and very nearly
deprived the sox Of their last gltmmer
nf hope.
The National league champions now
nave Won four games, and therefore
iced but one.more to clinch the bunt-
lng By the same token, the sox can
annex tie major share o. the money
only BY winning four straight.
The teamsleft for Cincinnati tonight
Tor two games, II thai many are re-
Hod Eiier, Whliesox CASTOR OF
Tour years ago, grattfied the dearest
Wlsh ofhis heart in attaining the VIC
ory. he held his former teammates
practically helpless throughout. He
Showed them only three widely segre-
rated Ills, gave but one pass, and es-
lablished a record for consecutive
strikeouts IN a worlds series game.
Ia tie second and third inning he
tanned SIX batsmen in a row, and IN
the fonrth he was going SO strong that
lie first two sox who faced him drib-
bled tie ball to him for easy out at
ilrsk and til third man struck out. He
delivered two more doses of the same
medicine before the game was over,
making d total Of nine strikeoutS Cor
The came.
Claude Williams, who was defeated
III the second game on the series at
Cincinnati, hurled for the Sox and did
bout all that pitcher could do to
win. He8Walked two men and did not
allow hit until the fifth inning.
The Reds delivered only three more
hits oil his delivery, but these, after
she worlds series fashion Of the Reds,
we're Forthcoming in the one inning In
which they we're most needed. In this
instance the avalanche descended IN
HE sixth round. The air was fairly
.oggy With hits, intensified by a walk
and all error, and when the air cleared
he score board showed that four Red
legs had reached the counting station.
Il was enough plus.
Ia the eighth Williams retired to al
ow Murphy to appear in the role OF
pinch hitter, but he merely fattened
Eller strike out record, and in the
ninth Mayer went to the mound for
Me Sox His Wildness was partly re-
;ponsible for the final run with which
lhe visitors capped their score.
Ray schalk, premier catcher of the
American League, or any other league,
according to his admirers, came for
ward as the first player to be chased
by an umpire during the series.
It Was I'm the sixth when most every
hing happened, that this occurred.
Groii had slid to the plate, accumu-
ating large holdings on base line real
estate on the facade Of his anatomy,
and Schalk claimed that he touched
.he runner before the latter plowed his
way 70 the plate.
Ii his excitement he jumped up at
Umpire Etigler's protector, and with his
lists iolted the judicial air there i'm
pounded. Rigler pointed to the coop
end Schalk mumbling things that the
late Noah Webster never encountered
Il his researches, made way for Lynn,
Who caught the remainder Of the game
or the sox.
The field was In excellent condition,
iespite the rain Of yesterday, and 3D.
