Show They Couldn't Beat a High School Nine, Says Gleason By JAMES CRU1S1NBERRY. HICAGO, Oct. 6. "They aren't hit- Cting." Those few words spoken by Manager Gleason of the White Sox offered an explanation for a large rare of the cause for the fourth defeat of the south aiders today in the world's series against the Cincinnati Reds. They tot three hits off Hod Eller and never once in the whole game had a good chance to score a run. "I don't know what's the matter, the Sox leader continued, "but 1 do know that something is wrong with my gang. Tile bunch 1 had lighting in August for the pennant would have trimmed this . Cincinnati bunch without a struggle. The bunch I have now couldn't 'neat a high 1 school team. We hit something over .20 for tlie reason in the American league pennant race. Now, that's the host hi:-t'.ni; hi:-t'.ni; anv ball club ever did In the historv of baseball. The way those ."0 hitters actc 1 a sat list Kiier. they couldn't make a place on a hish school team. "I a m convinced that T have the host 1 ball club that ever was put together. I certainly have been disappointed In it in this series. It hasn't played baseball in a single game. There's only a bare chance ! they can win now. The gang I had in August might do it. The gang that has played for me in the five games of the world's series will have to have luck to win a not her ball game." Of course. Manager Moran of the Reds was all smiles, lie couldn't be otherwise. "They didn't think I had a great ball team," he said, "but I guess now everybody every-body thinks I have. I have sent five diff erent pitchers to the slab in five games and four of them have won, and t lie one who lost didn't lose because of his pitching. "We have hit and run the bases and fielded and played baseball in every way far above what the White Sox have shown. I want to say that I have a great team in the Reds, one of the greatest of all time, and my team is keyed right up to top pitch. "We need only one game now. It doesn't make any difference whether It comes tomorrow, the next day or the next. AVe are sure winners. I hope it comes in the next game." |
