Pat Moran telegraphed tele-graphed this evening to have the big staff in Redland park at .Cincinnati measured for one latest stylo world championship flag. ' i The Reds today won the fifth game of tlie world series, defeating the Chicago: White Sox, 6 to 0,- in a contest that developed de-veloped sensational pitching, sharp fielding, field-ing, one-sided batsmanship and very 0 nearly deprived the Sox of their last glimmer of hope. The National leagrue, champions have r.ow won four games and need but one mure to cinch the bunting. By the samel token,' the Sox can annex the major share of the. money only by winning four straight. The teams left for Cincinnati tonight for two games, if ihat many are required. "Hod" Kller, a White Sox castoff of four years ago, gratified the dearest wish of hla heart by attaining the victory. He held his former teammates practically helpless throughout. He allowed them only three widely segregated hits, gave but one pass and established a record tor consecutive strikeouts in a world series game. HOD FANS SIX SOX IN A ROW. . In the second and third innings he fanned six batsmen in a row, and in the fourth he was going so strong that the first two Sox who faced him dribbled the ball to him for easy outs at first, and tlie third man struck out. He delivered two more doses of the same medicine before be-fore the game was over, a total of nine strikeouts for the game. Claude Williams, who was defeated in the second game of the series at Cincinnati, Cin-cinnati, hurled for the Sox, and did about all that a pitcher could to win. He walked but two men and did not allow al-low a hit until the fifth inning. The Reds delh ered only three more hits off his delivery, but these, after the world's series fashion of theIteds, were forth-' i-omlng in the one inning In which they "ere needed. Tn this instance the avalanche av-alanche descended in the sixth round. HAY SCHALK PUT OUT OF GAME.

In the aeconc and third the crowd was treated to the remarkable exhibition in which Gandil, Risberg, Schalk, Williams, Lelbold and Kddie Collins struck out. In the Reds' half of the second, Duncan and Neale fanned and Kopf interposed a foul out to Schalk, and in the third the Reds did but little better, going out in rotation rota-tion on infield hits. In the fourth, after Daubert and Groh had fiied out to Felsch. Roush was safe on Risberg's juggle and stole second, but Duncan left him there with a fly to Jackson. In the fifth Kopf singled, but was forced a moment later by Neale, who himself was caueht stealing, steal-ing, while Rariden fiied out to center. In their half, with two down, Schalk singled, but Williams whiffed, and again the Sox failed to threaten. Eller Busts One. Nothing could have appeared less suspicious suspi-cious than Eller when he came to the plate at the beginning of the sixth round. As a pitcher, nothing was expected of him, and among those in this frame of mind was Claude, alias "Lefty," Williams. Wil-liams. Even the organization of Red fanatics, who brought a brass band up here, was not looking for what happened hap-pened and started out of their seats when Eller connected with one in the groove and it started off. due north. Jack- : son, whose mind appeared to be puzzling over the jinx that had settled on his hairpins, was slow in starting for it, and Felsch, who was sparking on all six cylinders, cyl-inders, was too far away. The net result was a double which surprised none more than Eller. The ball was wearying of its roll when Jackson and Felsch came up to it at the left-field fence. Felsch seized It and heaved in the general direction of the diamond, dimly visible in the distance. Eller took a chance and landed safely on third. The Sox infield, scenting trouble, drew in. Rath's Hit Scores One. Rath poled one to short left, which would have been safe no matter where the infield played, and Eller trotted home with the first run. Rath was advanced to second by Daubert's perfect bunt toward to-ward third, although Daubert was out at first. Groh's patience was rewarded by a pass, at which stage of the proceedings proceed-ings Schalk and Williams addressed a peppery collection of remarks to Rigler to the effect that the umpire was not ' calling strikes when Williams cut the corners. It was the forerunner of Schalk 's impending expulsion. Roush, who had but one hit to his credit to date in the series, declared him- i self in on the onslaught at this juncture and recorded his second hit in left cen- 1 ter, a triple, and Rath and Groh counted. ; The play at the plate was close on Groh, and it was here that Schalk's impassioned commentary led to his banishment. It was said that this was the second time in a world's series that a player was ever expelled. Frank Chance, the old Cub leader, was said to have been the first. Lynn took up the work behind the plate and Duncan fiied to Jackson, It was a pretty catch by Jackson, but his throw to the plate was a little wic. Lynn got the ball, but Roush crossed the plate. Williams steadied wonderfully in the seventh sev-enth and eighth, retiring the side in rotation. rota-tion. He was taken out in the Sox half of the eighth to allow Murphy to bat, and Mayer succeeded him as pitcher. The final run of the game was made off Mayer, a former National league t wirier. He sent one to Roush; which the Red outfielder tapped toward Eddie Collins. The Chicago captain fumbfed the ball and Roush was given life. Mayer was unsteady and Duncan drew a free ticket to first. Kopf came along with a perfect bunt toward Weaver, and, while he was being retired at first, Roush reached third. Neale grounded to Ris-berg. Ris-berg. and on the play to first Roush registered. reg-istered. Eddie Collins retired the side by throwing Rariden out at first. There were two down in the ninth when Weaver poled a triple to far right. Rath came in and said something to Eller, El-ler, who at this point faced Jackson, custodian cus-todian of the hairpins. Jackson swung mightily, but dribbled one to Groh, who threw him out at first, and the game was over. |
