Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE Reds Monday
won the fifth game of the worlds
series, defeating the Chicago White
Sox, to 0, in a contest that developed
sensational pitching. sharp fielding
and one-sided Craftsmanship.
'Hod" Eller, a White Sox castoff
or four years ago. gratified the dearest
wish of his heart by attaining the VIC
tory. He held his former teammates
practically helpless thruout. He al
lowed them only three widely segre-
gated hits, gave but one pass and es-
tabiished record for consecutive
strfkeouts in a worlds series game. <

out. He delivered two more doses OF
the same medicine before the game
was over, a total of nine strikeouts
for the game.
The Fatal Sixth.
Claude Williams, who was defeated
in the second game of the series at
Cincinnati, hurled for the Sox and did
about all that pitcher could do to
win. He walked two msn and did not
allow hit until the fifth inning. The
Reds delivered only three more hits
off his delivery but these, after the
worlds series fashion of the Reds.
were forthcoming in the one inning
in which they were most needed. In
this instance the avalanche descended
in the sixth round. The air was fairly
foggy with hits, intensified by a walk
and an error, and when the air cleared
the score board showed that four Red
legs had reached the counting station.
1t was enough-plus. In the eighth,
Williams retired to allow Murphy to
appear in the role of pinch hitter, but
he merely fattened Eller's strikeout
record, and in the ninth Mayer went
to the mound for the Sox. His wild
Z ness was partly responsible for the
ped their score.
Ray Schalk. premier catcher of the
American league, or any other league,
according to his admirers, came for

by an umpire during the series. II

interest of our employees in the bust
ness. Now, six weeks after we began
accepting applicants, we have 1900

satisfactory thing about the whole
affair is that we have associated with

The unexpected demand for shares
