~ hcn thcre was talk Of trading him
back to John i McGraw and the
Giants. who had ;radcd him to Gin
cinnau.
Rousch and Kopf were born the
same year-'93. They are the youth
thar WAS served. hut more particu-
lar}y which served his afternoon be -
hind the pitching OF Harry Sallee. the
veteran iefthander Of tho Reds. But
fer them "t,id SAT would have met
the same fate he met at the hands OF
the White SuX in 1917 when he was
with MCGraW's Giants.
II was sweet revenue fer Sallee to
get home today, hut he was very
lucky The Sox pounded his south
paw croSsHre for nine hits, while the
Reds were getting but four off the
delivery Of Claude Williams. thp
young sldewinder OF the Sox.
But Williams was very Wild He
gave six bases on halls and nearly all
figured in the scoring. The Reds had
LITTLE attack. but the SoX had no
pitching defense. Williams is apt 10
dn better his next time out.
II was OH Sallee's weather. par
boiled ~ his wears Of service in ST.
Louis. The lean lefthander loves the
heat. II was too cold for him in Chi
cage in n especially in his second
game. Today he was at ease in u
temperature that had everyone drip
ping.
He was leisurely. and deliberate. as
is his custom. and he pitched with the
care 0f long experience but the Sox
seemed to have no great trouble hit
ting him. Great support In some of
the. breaks. helped the Neterau along
with the ragged pitching in front OF
the Sox.
1t struck some of the "grandstani
managers" the chaps up yonder in
the seats. who always have their say
about the way baseball should be
plyed, and generally pay their way in
TO see II, ~h ch is why we have base
ball, thought kid" Gleason. the Sox
manager. overplayed the play called
the sacrifice.
Gleason can probably tell them
why they are all wrong. but in the Ma
tional League the sacrifice IL not used
as often rs in the American league.
National league fans were the specta-
tors ana critics this afternoon. Maybe
that's why they thought Gleason
tonight taking those 100 to / shots
should have put ~ different line OF
rest OF the game. Reckless souls are
strategy.
1t is nil history now, along with tbs
that the Cincinnati club will take five
straights from the Sox as the series
moves to the shores OF Lake Michigan.
Errors Gave Sox Runs.
Errors by the Reds late in the game
today gave the Sox two runs, and II
looked for a moment as X they were
going to put on a last minute rally,
Tho furry soon passed, however. FrT
three innings the Sex made 1t n BATHS
but after that the Reds were always In
front. and always looked entitled to
be in front.
