EDDIE'S COMEBACK -A DISMAL FAILURE. f-Mdie Cieoite, who was driven out of the box i) the opening game at Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, -where he suffered the most humiliating defeat of his career, elected elect-ed to retrieve his renown today, but while he held tbe Keda to five-hits and issued no passes, two of those hits came in one inning, aud he himself in that inning bunched two errors which proved costly. , . Tho regula-r order oi things brought .Jim King into tbe pitcher's box for 1bc lieJs. but the fact that he allowed but three hits, which, were as scattered as soda fountains -in the Sahara, was somewhat marred bj" the fact that he " passed three Sox .batsmen on wide ones, and hit two others. Tbo fielding back of him was nothing ehort of superb. Every Red was ou tiptoe vigorous; confident and aggressive. aggres-sive. They brought down' long, hard flies in a way to discourage all oppo- ; fcition, aud fielded the ball with the greatest dash and brilliancy. This was particularly noticeable in the second aud third innings, when it was a question of 'whether the big! right-hander would collide with the j aviator w Ho was pcrformiug abo e or ! join the list of baseball idols which j Garry Herrmann is offering his loyal I following in Cincinnati. .! In the opinion of those who claim to be able to read the psychic reflexes of diamond athletes, that aviator will lead a luuesomo life if he waits for J. King. COLD WIND IS VERY MUCH IN EVIDENCE. The day had been hot up to tbo very moment that the announcer, hav-. ing parked himself on secoud base, announced an-nounced with marked formality that Mister Nallin, Jlister Quigley, Mister Evans and ilister Rigler would do the umpiring, and a veudor was shouting that "yuu. could not tell the umpires without a program"; but at that moment, mo-ment, as if someone had opened an icebox, ice-box, there was a cold blast -which remained re-mained throughout the rest of tho day, and spectators quickly hustled back into their coats and rcaffixed their collars. The bleacherites tore paper aud tossed it iuto the breeze until it looked like a snowstorm.

Lelbold. first up for the Sox, sent up a high one which drifted in the breeze so that Daubert was kept hopping backward back-ward for some time before he grabbed it. Collins popped up to Rath, while Duncan raced back and gatherted in Weaver's Wea-ver's long fly in brilliant fashion. In. the second Clcotte's twisters could not be kept on tho ground, Roush, Duncan Dun-can and Kopf flying out in order. In this half the Sox appeared more threatening threat-ening than at any other period. Jaokson, who regards hairpins as the ultimate in bringing good luck, carried four new ones as he came to the bat, and the hairpins hair-pins delivered a clean double to center. Felsch sent him to third by the sacrificial sacrifi-cial route, and the stands went wild with delight. Gandil, however, retired on a fly to Groh. Then King did one of two things he either became wild, or played a bit of the most daring strategy for he walked both Risberg and Schalk, filling the bases. This brought Cicotte to the plate. The crowd generally commented that it was his opportunity to win his own game, but his swing caught the ball far up the handle and he was out at first, thus dissolving dis-solving one of the locals' two chances to score. The next opDOrtunity came in the succeeding round. Leibold lined to right along the foul line, but Neale. by a magnificent mag-nificent run. captured it with a catch which was sheer banditry. Collins was hit with a pitched ball and tore down to second when Weaver grounded out to Daubert, Dau-bert, unassisted. Jackson hit to Rath, but his hairpins v,ere still working, and he camped on first while Rath was juggling jug-gling the ball and ntaking a hurried throw, Collins meanwhile reaching third. Felsch, however, was unable to produce a hit, and another local hope was interred. The Sox never threatened again, save remotely re-motely in the fifth when Groh's error, a wild heave to first, placed Leibold on second with one down. Groh made a wonderful stop of Collins's hard-hit ball and Leibold was run down between second sec-ond and third. "Weaver's out ended the rally. Thereafter Ring held the game in the palm of his hand, with his fingers crossed. He allowed one more hit in the sixth, a base on balls in the seventh, another an-other hit in the eighth, and his last pas3 in the ninth, but these outcroppings lacked the championship of the kind necessary nec-essary to get runs and never gave the Reds a moment's worry. The story of the Red victory belongs to the fifth inning alone. In no other round did.- they get a runner past first. Sharp fielding, Cicotte's sterling pitching and two sharp double plays tell the story of the innings other than the fifth. Roush started this momentous round by dumping the ball in front of the plate, and was out at first on a hair-line decision. Duncan bounced an awkward one toward Weaver and Cicotte grabbed it, but, in his haste, threw a fathom or so over Gandil's htad. That started the debicle. Schalk, ho gets into nearly every play, retrieved the ball, out Duncan was safe on second. The timeliness of the Reds' hitting in evidence in all of the games which they have won, was again in evidence. Kopf singled to-short to-short left, Jackson taking the ball on the bound as he ran forward. Duncan was tearing for the plate. Jackson threw perfectly per-fectly for the plate, and it looked like a certal nout when Cicotte, whose nerves, by reason of his previous error, seemed out for an altitude record, interposed his mitt, evidently to make a play on Kopf, and deflected de-flected the ball. Duncan counted and Kopf established himself on third. Neale then doubled Just out of reach of Jackson, scoring Kopf. Wingo and Ring grounded out .ending the inning a.nd th6 scoring. The fifth game of the series will be played here tomorrow and the sixth in Cincinnati Monday, unless the weather man interferes. |
