"Hod" Eller, a White Sox cast off of four years ago, gratified the dearest wishes of his heart by attaining the victory when he held his former team-mates vir tually helpless throughout. He allowed them only three widely separated hits, gave but on a pass and established a record for consecutive strike-outs in a world's series game. In the sec ond 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 the third man struck out. He delivered two more doses of the same medicine before the game was over, a total of nine strike-outs for the game. ! ; 1 ! j Rods Hjt Wh Needed, , „ ! ..' lfllldp ihiam*. who was defeated in I töe second game of the series at Cin ! cuinati, hurled for the Sox and did ! about all that a pitcher could to win ; He walked two men and did not allow a ' * nn * n ? v: t ! e J , • delivered only three more : ^'^ry. but these, after " Ï s t ne .* fashion of the Beds, I were for the umirag in which they were most needed.
