battling Sox had one more rally rall left They The had seen their pitching staff cut to 10 pieces and their defense tore asunder They had only a 1 miracle left to close cloe the widening gap tap but even this far tar behind they camp Caine fast enough and hard harl enough to leave Eller groggy where only I 1 I I a sensational catch by Roush saved him from a sudden exit I With Leibold out Collins ripped off of his third hit a smoking line single Buck Weaver followed with a double and Joe Jackson responded to the raving chorus by hitting a line double to right scoring both men Felsch one of ot the goats of the series popped out to first but Gandil then came through with a long drive to right center Just half way between and Neale Neale facing the white light of the sun sun stood stock still vainly attempting to 10 spot the ball but he never saw it t until the missile struck the ground and rolled to the fence for a three-base three hit sending Jackson Jaclson home lifted a f fly to and also baffled by the blazing sun made a bad muff Gandil coming home This outburst gave ga the Sox four runs and when they came to bat in the ninth Eller Etler had lost his early air of winning

opened up a jubilee of cheering cheering cheer cheer- ing ing for r the head of the batting order was Coming up Then came the star play pUy of the hectic afternoon I ROUSH'S GREAT CATCH Leibold crashed into Ellers Eller's shiner and drove It on a a. low line to the right of Roush In center The smash looked to tobe tobe tobe be a certain triple for it was struck oft off with terrific force and was traveling for open country on beyond Roush started for the ball and when a good five feet away art dived headlong at nt pa as i It passed n ss s scooping scoopIng scoop scoop- og Ing It up from the top of the grass s as he helit helit lit upon his neck and rolled some ten or fifteen feet This rare catch held Eller Ellerin in the bo box bo boIt It saved him from being driven from the mound with a run nine-run lead to work on and only two innings to toI togo togo go for Eddie Collins followed with another another another an an- I other clean hit But Roush and his daredevil daredevil dare- dare devil ll desperate dive e had cracked the I backbone of the rall rally He had choked I off the last headlong rush the Sox had to offer and had suppressed one of the I gamest uphill fights tights on baseball baseball record The last battle of the overlong g series I was a wild flurry of hits runs and errors The Reds Heds ran up sixteen hits for fora a total of ot twenty one bases The Sox hammered Eller for ten hits yielding seventeen bases A ball game that holds twenty-six twenty hits for thirty-eight thirty bases including fifteen runs offers quite enough attraction for those who esteem the ringing ringIng ringing ring ring- ing blow and the merry romp Up to the fifth 1 Inning n n innings Tuesday the Sox had put In twenty twenty six innings without ho ut a n run Their once famed tamed attack had been crushed Then they got started and in I their last twenty-three twenty Innings timings they scored fourteen runs RALLY RALLY TOO LATE But their rally had arrived too late I The Reds had obtained too great a lead and Gleason had no pitching staff left to help carry his squad safely through Take the case of Eddie Collins In his I first six games he drew but two singles In his hili last two games gamell he made c five smashing mashing hits but he too had started his rally too late The factor that beat the White Sox yesterday was the sudden Rudden and terrific te of Claude Williams The southpaw southpaw- had drawn a good had worked In two good games If he had been able to pitch even moderately well his mates mate would have o had a fighting chance but lie ho tad had nothing nothing at all His speed barely got up to the plate and vh u Dau 1 I bert berl Groh Roush and Duncan had finished finished fin fin- with him there was w-as nothing left In this wild and woolly first Inning the Reds batted clean through the list Every Everyman Everyman Everyman man getting a whack at the ball before Eller flied filed to right The Reds undoubtedly earned their triumph They played the best ball and produced the most effective all around machine By the old order they would have up Ul the series four games to toone one And under the new order they won with two games to spare so In winning both ways they cut the lal last t alibi from I under the sox who have nothing left except exI except ex ex- to admit that the better club got the winning end of the purse something like I to each Red an and It looks a bit like lite a long hard winter Just beyond the gray horizon the fine work wont of Jake Jale Daubert Morris Rath Eddie Eddie Eddie Ed Ed- die Roush and Larry I Kopf opt featured the Red play In the closing spectacle whereas till the heavy y hitting of Jackson Weaver and Collins featured the play of the Sox So Weaver eaver finished the series as the main I Sox star with Jackson leading h in offense play but whereas the Sox drew a spotty record of few stars and many goats the Red balance predominated and It was Pat Moran who proved that a machine can still beat a group of ot individuals posing as separate and distinct stars It U was a victory finish that Moran deserved deserved deserved de de- de- de served as he takes his established place as one of the greatest leaders the game has ever known |
