Eller worked like new iron man.,
The watchers in the galleries predicted
that no human could stand the pace
that he set for himself, but he lasted
i, through. Only in the ninth did he
seem to weaken, when Weaver smashed
triple to right, but he kept Jackson's
drive to the infield.
Lefty Williams pitched steady
and wonderful game, allowing only four
hits, but Eller had the White Sox
whipped when he had six of their best
hitters striking out in row in the
second and third innings, as he method
ically rubbed the ball against his right
thigh and shot them over. "Hod"
yielded three scattered hits.
"Shine" Ball Deceptive
Those Sox have slaughtered nearly
every pitcher in the American League
at different times. They have straight
ened out curved balls; they have
plastered fast ones; they have even
folled the spitters. But that streaky,
shined pellet that was whizzed past
them By "Hod" baffled and bewildered.
Eller won the game this afternoon.
When he came to bat in the sixth the
ears of the White Rabbits were up,
listening intently. The noise that
smote their ears was the crack of
Eller's bat. He caught straight one
from the nervous Claude Williams and
ne drove it to far centre. Eller trotted
rather leisurely to second. He would
have stad there as Felsch started the
ball to the infield, but Risberg, who
was champing about the infield sharing
the teams bewilderment, paved at the
ball as it went by him.
Cicotte did this Saturday, and it was
fatal. 1t hurt some to-day, too, for it
gave Eller chance to reach third with
nobody out. Pat Moran, beaming with
glee, picked up sweater and covered
the form of his pitcher at the bag. He
muttered some paternally loving words
into his ear at the same time, then re-
sumed his station at third base. Will
Jams got wilder and wilder. You could
sense somehow that the morale of the
Sox had gone for the day and for the
series.
1t was up to Rath, who had done
nothing in particular to date. He took
the chance for glory as Moran muttered
soothingly to him, and he drove the
ball for clean single to right, scoring
Eller.
Williams Loses Control
Jake Daubert then sent Rath to seq

Officially Roush is the hero Of what
happened next, but in reality there
was no hero. There was a "goat" and
his name is Felsch. They used to cali

dubbed Felch the Unhappy from this
time on.
Roush Strengthened out one of
Williams's curves and it volplaned over
centre field. There was plenty of time
to get under it and Felsch did get
under it. The ball struck his out
