CHICAGO. Oct. "Pat" Mora
telegraphed thi evening to nave th
big staff In Redland park at Cin
clnnati measured for one laiest style
world's championship flu.
The Reds today on the fifth ram
of the world's series, defeating; th
Chicago White Sox. & to 0. in a con
test that developed sensational pitch
inc. sharp fielding, one-sided bats
manship and very nearly deprived the
Sox of their last glimmer of hope.
The National league champions
have now won four games and need
but one more to clinch the bunting.
By the same token the Sox can annex
the. major share by wlnfiing four
straight- The teams left for Cincin
nati tonight for two games, if that
icanv are reauired.
Hod Eller. a White Sox castoff
of four years ago. gratified the dear
st wish of his heart by attaining the
victory. He held his former team
mates practically helpless through
out. He allowed them only three
widely segregated hits, gave but one
pass and established a record for con
secutlve strikeouts in a world series
game. In the second and third in
nings he fanned six batsmen In
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. Ha delivered two
more doses of the same medicine be
fore the game was over, a total of
nine strikeouts for the game.
Miliums Goes Good.
Claude Williams, who was defeated
In the second game of the series at
Cincinnati, hurled for the Sox and
did about all that a pitcher could
to win. He walked but two men
and did not allow a hit until the
fifth inning. The Reds delivered
only three more hits off his delivery
but these, after the world's series
fashion of the Reds, were forthcom
ing in the one inning in which they
were most needed. In this inning the
avalanche descended, in the sixth
round.
The air waa fairly foggy with hits.
intensified by a walk and an error,
and when the air cleared the score
board showed that four Red legs had
reached the counting station. It was
enough plus. In the eighth Williams
retired to allow Murphy to appear
in the role of pinch-hitter, but he
merely fattened filler's strikeout
record, and in the ninth Mayer went
to the mound for the Sox. His wild
ness waa. partly responsible for the
final run with which the visitors
capped their score.
Rla-ler Chaaea Schalk.
Schalk. premier catcher of the
American league, or any other league,
according to hts admirers, came for
ward as the first player to be chased
by an umpire during the series. It
was the sixth when most everything
happened that this occured. Groh
had slid to the plate, accumulating
large holdings of base line real estate
on the facade of his anatonmy and
Schalk claimed that he touched the
runner before the latter had plowed
his way to the plate. In his excite
ment he jumped up at Umpire Rigler's
protector and with his fists jolted the
judicial air there impounded. Rigler
pointed to the coop and Schalk,
mumbling things that the late Noah
Webster never encountered in his
researches, made way for Lynn, who
caught the remainder of the game for
the Sox.
The field was in excellent condi
tion, despite the rain of yesterday,
and 34.379 persons paid to witness
the exhibition. The sun shone bright
ly and the temperature was to the
liking of players and spectators alike.
In the first round Rath reached
first on free transportation and was
sacrificed to second, but neither Groh
nor Rousch could deliver and he got
no farther. In their half the Sox
did a little better. Liebold. the first
man up, waited for four wide ones,
took second on an infield out and
reached third on Weaver's single,
which was checked but not captured
by Eller. The partisan local crowd
called long and loud for a run, but
Jackson, despite a new set of "lucky"
hairpins, went out on a pop fly to
Groh. and Felsch flew out to left.
Eller Fau Six Straight.
In the second and third the crowd
was treated to the remarkable exhi
bition In which Gandil, Risberg.
Schalk. Williams. Liebold and Eddie
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 on Infield hits. In the
fourth, after Daubert and Groh hsd
filed out to Felsch. Rousch 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 caught stealing, while
Rartden flied out to center.
In their half, with two down. Schalk
singled, but .Williams whiffed, and
again the Sox failed to return.
Nothing could have appeared less
auspicious than Eller when he came to
the plate at the beginning of the sixth
round. As a pitcher, nothing was ex
pected of him and among those in
this frame of mind was Claude
-Lefty" Williams. Even the organisa
tion of Red fanatics, who brought a
brass band up here, were not looking
for what happened and started out
of their seata when Kller connected
with one In the groove and it started
off due north. Jackson, whose mind
appeared to be puxzling over the jinx
that had settled on his hairpins, was
slow in starting for it and Felsch,
who was sparking on all six cylinders,
was too far away. The net result was
a double which surprised none more
than Eller.
Eller Croeaea Pas.
The ball was wearying of its roll
when Jackson and Felsch came up
to it at the left field fence. Felsch
seised it and hove in the general di
rection 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 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'a per
fect bunt toward third, although
Daubert was out at first. Groh's
patience was rewarded by a pass, at
which stage of the proceedings Schalk
and Williams addressed a peppery
collection of remarks to Rigler to the
effect that the umpire was not call
ing strikes when Williams cut the
corners. It was the forerunner of
Schalk's impending expulsion.

juncture and recorded his second hit

Groh counted. The play at the plate
was close on Groh and it was here
that Schalk's impassioned commen
tary 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 filed to Jackson.
It was a pretty catch by Jackson but
his throw to the plate was a little
wide. Lynn got the ball, but Rousch
crossed the plate.
Williams steadied wonderfully in
the seventh and eighth, retiring the
side in rotation. 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 twirler. He sent one to Roush
which the Red outfielder tapped to
ward Ed Collins. The Chicago -captain
fumbled the ball and Rousch was
given a life. Mayer was unsteady
and Duncan drew a free ticket to

faced Jackson, custodian of the hair
pins. Jackson swung mightily, but
dribbled one to Groh who threw him
out st first and the game was over.

Red Marvel Throws 36 Strikes In
First Five Innings Wil
liams Does Well Also.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6. "Hod" Eller's
sensational pitching for Cincinnati in
today's game of the world's series
stood out clearly in the pitching an
alysis. After his two base hit had
paved the way for his team's four
runs in the sixth inning he took
chances with the Chicago batsman
but in the first five sessions he was
using his best brand of shoots, hops
and benders on every occasion.
Of the 46 strikes which Eller
pitched, 36 came in the first five Inn
ings and half of that number were
recorded in the second and third
when he struck out six successive
batsman. In the third Inning Liebold
was the only Sox player to. touch the
ball and his best was a high foul into
the upper tier of the grand stand.
In the sixth Eller threw only five
times. One of those efforts was a
ball, another was fouled and a fly and
two easy grounders disposed of the
three batters. The big Red twirler
missed the plate eighteen times in the
first three Innings but in the last
six had only seven bad ones called.
This was largely due to the fact that
he was putting, practically every ball
across the plate and the Chicago men
quit trying to wait him out.
While Eller's work was unusual,
Williams pitched a fine brand of ball
and made a creditable record in all
departments. He had 43 strikes in
eight innings and only 28 balls, a per
formance which was far ahead of his
exhibition at Cincinnati in the second
game of the series. Williams was
working the Inside corner constantly
and It was a pitch of this species be
low his knees that Eller lofted be
tween Jackson and Felsch after wav
ing weakly at two similar offerings.
Williams yielded four hits to Eller's
three, struck out three to Eller's nine
and gave two bases on balls as com
pared with Eller's one. Mayer, who
pitched the ninth for Chicago, exhib
ited a lack of control, giving one pass
and missing the plate 12 times out of
21 attempts. All told, the Chicago
pitchers threw 126 times. Eller got
through with 94 throws.

CHICAGO, Oct. 6. The total at
tendance for the five games was
1SS.069. The attendance for the three
Chicago games was 97,868.
Oue of the Cincinnati rooters ait-
ting along the first base line caught
a foul ball in a big megaphone and
appropriated it for a souvenir. Balls
batted into the grandstand never
came back, as the fans scrambled to
pocket them. '
The teams left at 10 o clock to
night for Cincinnati, where the sixth
and perhaps final game of the series
Is scheduled for tomorrow. If a sev
enth game is necessary it will be
played in Cincinnati Wednesday.
The Reds were in a hilarious frame
of mind after the game. They slapped
each other on the back, yelling that
tomorrow's game would find them
baseball champions of the world.
Twelve special trains were required
to transport the baseball players,
newspaper men and fans to Cincin
nati tonight.

the side of his head, but he was not
much in evidence on the coaching
line today. Moran, however, coached

had a chance again today, but he
fanned. He is participating in his
fourth world's series and will draw a
player's share of the receipts for go
ing to bat twice so far in the series,
plus whatever else he may do in the
remaining games.
When the Sox got two men on bases
in the first with only one out,. Man
ager Moran sent Luque, the Cuban
pitcher, to warm up. But Eller came
through with flying colors and
pitched record-breaking ball.
Even the Chicago players applauded
Eller when he returned to the bench
after setting a world's series strike
out record of six in a row.
The crowd gave Eller a great ova
tion when he came to bat in the sixth.
He connected with a double that
started the Reds to victory. He
fanned the next time up.
The crowd of 34.379 was the biggest
of the series. There were 13 more
persons Jammed into the park than
on Saturday. Every inch of space
was occupied and thousands were
turned away. Scalpers got as much
as $20 for a box seat.
Eller retired the Sox on five pitched
balls in the sixth. Larry Kopf, the
Reds' shortstop, got the first hit of
the game for Cincinnati in the fifth.
He singled to right.
Buck Weaver, the Sox third base
man, staged a batting rally all by
himself in the ninth with two out.
His triple was the only long hit the
Sox made.

Gleason Still Fighting.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6. With the Reds
victorious in four of the five games.
Manager Moran of the Cincinnati club
indicated tonight that he would start
Walter Reuther against the White
Sox in the sixth game of the series
scheduled for Cincinnati tomorrow.
Reuther pitched the Reds to a 9-to-1
victory in the opening game of the
series and has been clamoring for a
return engagement against the Chi
cagoans. Manager Gleason's pitching selec
tion undoubtedly will be Dick Kerr,
the dimunitive left-hander who scored
Chicago's only victory in the series.
He pitched a remarkable game, hold
ing the Reds to three hits, and is
ready to face them again.
"It's all over but the shouting,"
said Manager Moran tonight. "We'll
win again' tomorrow, no matter whom
Gleason pitches. My players feel that
the world's championship, already
within grasp, is already theirs. The
Reds have played championship ball
all the way through and I am proud
to be their manager."
Manager Gleason of the Sox also
gave great credit to Eller, but de
clared that the Sox were not playing
the brand of baseball that won them
the American league pennant.
Manager Moran said:
"Eller pitched one of the greatest
games that ever won a world -series
today. He couldn't be touched
that's all. His feat of striking out
six in a row will go down in world
series history as one of the greatest
achievements on a ball field."
"The team hasn't shown itself to be
the pennant machine that won the
American league flag," Gleason said.
"Everything has been against us. The
players themselves were not right to
day. But that does not detract from
Eller's great pitching. He beat us
with great pitching and deserved the
victory.
"The Sox will fight until the last
man is out. Although the odds, are
against us, we are not quitters. I
have every hope that we will win out
yet. Stranger things have happened.
I expect to start Kerr tomorrow and
If he's right he'll win."
"Nerves" have cost more than one
team the World's Series in years
gone by.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6. (Special.)
The return of many of last season's

the squad will be the best in several
