volt cropped out at the industrial unrest

to be the football of other great national
interests.'' j

Game Today Takes Place
in Chicago, but if An
other Is Required, Cin
cinnati Will Be Scene.
Cincinnati, Oct. 8.—Winning
today's game against Cincinnati,
4 to 1, the recently dejected and
all but hopeless White Sox of
Chicago now consider them
selves real contenders for the
world's baseball championship.
The series now stands four
games for Cincinnati and three
ifor the American leaguers. To
| morrow, weather permitting,
they play in Chicago. The ath
! letes of the pallid hose took the
train tonight jubilant at the
manner in which they have
; snatched a chance of victory
from what seemed certain de
feat and were determined that
the eighth contest, played on
their own familiar real estate
and cheered by their loyal fol
lowing will see the series tied
; up.
The sero-comic affair of Tues
jday was succeeded today by
real baseball. The visitors earn
jed two of their tallies by con
scientious workmanship and this
was enough to win, w r hile the
other two counts came partly
by grace of Red errors. Four
misdeeds were charged against
Garry Herrmann's athletes and
but one against the Comiskey
entry.
10 Hits, Sox; 7, Reds.
Cincinnati trotted out pinch hitters,
pinch pitchers, and pinch runners, in a
i desperate endeavor to come up from
behind as the Sox did Tuesday, but all
to no avail. The Reds used three pitch
h?- Sa " e £' Fisher and Luque. and au
.other pitcher. Ruether. apperaed as an
emergency batsman. Despite the array
; of hurlers, the Sox accumulated ten hits.

. The narrowing of Cincinnati's margin
; victories caused serious concern oyer
'r 0 possibility of a ninth game. Cin
cmnati won the toss, taken immediately
a f'Ç r today s engagement, and the de
ciding contest, if Chicago evens things
UP tomorrow, will be played here next
no ay. ^ I resident John A. Heydier, of
. National league, tossed the coin and
, Herrmann guessed it would be tails,
: and tails it was.
Many Seats Vacant.
For the first, time in the series, many
seats were vacant, due, it was said, to
the general belief that seats would !>e
difficult to obtain. Everybody expected
f hat everybody else would be ahead of
them and the result was a half crowd in

stated, but it was not because the crow I
came too fast to be counted.
Band Toots Sarcasm.
A stiff wind was blowing from center
across the plate during the struggle.
When the Sox came on the field, the
band, which on the Red grounds always
hes some little musical sarcasm at hand,
played, "She may have seen better
nays." and "Pleas« go away and let me
sleep."
This did not impair the buoyancy of
the standard athletes, who retaliated
without delay, putting a run over in the
first inning.
Johnny Collins Scores First.
It was John Collins, the first batter
np. who made the count. He singled to
center and went to second on a sacrifie»
by Captain Eddie Collins. Weaver slam
med tho ball against the wind for an
out to center, but Joe Jackson, who was
desperate at having found no new lucky
omens in tho way of hairpins, singled
