How First Game of Series Was Played
Last years world series records
records show that in the first inning
of the first game Cicotte started by
hitting Rath, the first Cincinnati bat
ter, in the back. Daubert followed with
single over second base that sent
Rath to third, and he scored when Groh
| flied to Jackson, Rath beating Jackson's
throw to the plate.
Chicago tied this run in the next
inning, Kopf putting Jackson on second
with a wild throw. Felsch sacrificed
him to third and Gandil dropped
little fly safely in center, scoring Jack
son.
The end Of Cicotte's pitching and the
runs that ultimately won the game
were scored by Cincinnati in the fourth
inning. All the damage was done with
two out. With Kopf on first, Neale and
Wingo singled, and Reuther, the hard
hitting Cincinnati pitcher, drovb a
three-base hit to the center field bleach
ers. Rath doubled, and Daubert singled,
Wilkinson took Cicotte's place after
Daubert's single and Groh flied to
Felsch. The final score of this game
was to /.

was also deliberately thrown away, ac-
cording to court officials who heard
Cicotte's statement to the grand jury.
The Reds won this game by score Of
2 to 0. Ring pitched for Cincinnati,
holding the American League cham
pions to three hits. Both Cincinnati
runs were made in the fifth inning,
when two of Cincinnati's hits were
punched, with wild throw to first by
Cicotte, and bad throw to the plate
by Jackson, which the pitcher inter-
cepted and muffed. The play Of this
inning was sent over The Associated
Press as follows:
"Roush was out, Schalk to Gandil,
the ball rolling half way to the pitch
er's box. Duncan was safe when Ci-
cotte threw his drive wide to first, the
ball going to the stand and Duncan
reaching second. Kopf singled to left
and Duncan stopped at third, but
scored when Jackson threw wild to the
plate. Kopf reached second. Correc-
ton: The official scorer gives Cicotte
the error for muffing Jackson's throw
Neale sent one over Jackson's head and
Kope scored Neale reached second.
1t was a two-base hit. Wingo out. Ed
Collins to Gandil, Neale going to third.
Ring drove vicious grounder that Ed
Collins got and threw him out at first.
Two runs. Two hits. Two errors"
/ The rest of the game was played
sharply and, so far as the records
show, cleanly. Cicotte pitched through
the nine innings.
Cicotte Won Sixth Game
Cicotte's next appearance in the
series was in the sixth game, when
Cincinnati had four victories to its
credit against one defeat, Richard Kerr,
the diminutive left-handed pitcher hav-
ing shut out the National League cham
pions in the third game. Cicotte in
this sixth game went through nine in
nings and held his opponents to seven
hits. Chicago won the game 4 to /,
hitting Sallee hard in the first FIVE in
nings. Jackson and Felsch each got
two hits and between them drove in all
of Chicago's runs.
Besides the two defeats registered
against Cicotte in the series three
others we're chalked up against Claude
Williams. The latter, "side arm"
left-hander, was wild in the second
and fifth games, which went to the
Reds, to and 5 to 0, In the eighth
and last game of the series he was
found for four solid hits in the first
inning, and that game and the title
of world champions went to Cincinnati,
10 to S. Williams's lack of control
was generally recorded as the cause Of
his defeats, the record of the second
game saying:
u. "While Cincinnati obtained only
four hits, these came at opportune
times when they had been preceded by
bases on balls off Williams"
The fifth game Of the series was
shut-out triumph for Hod Eller, the
big shine ball" expert Of the Gin
cinnati pitching staff. Only three hits
we're made off him and he established
a world series record by striking out
