Cincinnati, Oct. 7.
rpHE While Sor ttvlay ar llko a poor Moke who answered nn invitation to
make a snort trip and bo introduced to a lirinc sqund. Uo knows ho lias
to make the journey, knows ho has to lie introduced and after that it will bo
all over. It was the same with tho gloomy Gleasonitos when they checked
their baggage at tho hotel this morning. They madn tho trip down hero
merely as a matter of course because tho scries was not yet over and tho
next came was scheduled for Cincinnati. But they
are. not klddlns themselves nbout the final outcome.
They know what is coing lo happen and tho sooner it
is over the quicker, or something like that. Tho five
games In which they drag down a divvy nro over,
tho Reds nro leading four to ono and what's tho use of
prolonging tho agony? There ain't any use, as Nick
Hayes says.
All tho Whlto Sox have to do U win four games in
a row and oven tho most, delirious Chicago rooter uuii't
imagine- that. Therefore, we arc happy to my that
Pat Moran probably will be crowned champion tonight
or tomorrow night nt tho latent. Then we can devote
tho remainder ot the off season in following tho scrap
between Ban Johnson and the ousting trio in his
league and Garry Herrmann's finish fight with seven
Xational League magnates over tho chairmanship of tho National Commission,
But to return to tho Sot, which have shrunk considerably since tho
morning oC October 1, They have been outplayed, outguessed and everything
that goes with it. They did not look like n championship ball club, but had
every appearance of our A's when they played that love set with the Boston
Braves in 1014. Gleason was the only one who had any pop. Tho others
were slow and listless, very bighstiung and nervous and acted as if they
were in the series only to grab off the loser's share, which, by the way, is
considerable.
Thero must be a reason, and after digging around we believe wo have dis
covered it. Yesterday before the game in Chicago we wercf told that the
White Sox had gone stale. Perhaps it is merely an alibi, but tho dopo is that
the race in the American League was so close and they had to play so hard for
elx months that tho plajcrs just turned over find played dead when they
faced Cincinnati. This sounds logical the playing dead part of it. Tho
other stuff, too, is not hard to take because the Pox really had n tough time
of it this season and won tho pennant because Cleveland delayed its final
sprint. So now we have started another argument.
JfiEFORE going any further, here is a peculiar situation. All of
the American Leaguers we have talked to want the Cincinnati
club to iciit and all of the Kational Leaguers favor the "White .for.
ifntc comet We tltinno.
Filer Was the Whole Show
YESTEItDAY'S spiko in the winner's share was driven by none other
than Hod niler color white, born in America, and throws with ono hand
only. He was assisted by Happy Velsch who, for a moment in the exuitcmeut,
forgpt which team he was playing on and paved the way for threo runs to
ooze over tho platter. However, Happy's good intentions went for naught,
because Eller would hnvo won without him.
Hod burled 11 beautiful game. Ho had everything a pitcher ncedft, which
consisted of n fast ball, u curve and a change of pace. .Tav.ii Evers says thoso
things make it good pitcher, and after watching Eller we admit Jawn is right.
The shine bailer never had hs much stuff, and the Sox batters were helpless.
He threw the ball past them with tho speed of an express train nnd only threo
hits were registered during thn afternoon. His support, too, was wonderful,
hut his playmates in the first five innings lay down on tho job. They nicked
Lefty Williams for only one hit, and stuff like that never wins world bcries
games.
Therefore, Hod decided to take a hand in the affair and win the ball
game all by himself. Stepping up to the plate in tho sixth he glared at
Williams, snorted at Eddie Collins nnd ignored Schalk. Lefty shot n couple
of spurious pitches which Hod overlooked. The next, however, floated plate
ward right in the groove, and znwie ! how that guy did lay on the pill, Right
between Fclsch nnd Jackson it sailed and did not come to a stop until it
bounced against the left-field fence. Hod went to third on the hit, but the
official scorers decided no pitcher was entitled to more than two bases and
scored it as such, giving some innocent bystander an error.
THAT one wallop won the hall game. It placed a man on. third
with none out and Williams was so disconcerted that ha thought
somebody rise was at hat and allowed Morris Rath to soak n single
to right, which scored the ufarrmentionrd hero pitcher.
Fchch JVas Off Form. All Day
HAPPY PELSCH'S error, which, by tho way, was scored by the ofheial
scorers, in their usual incompetent and inefficient manner, as a three-base
blow, was expected. The slugging oonterfislder said he had n sore throat or
something and found it difficult to swallow, and he must have been right.
In tho first inning he went after Ciroh's easy fly like a sand lotter and barely
made. tho catch. After he caught the ball he did not know what to do with it
and almost made n wiltl throw to third when there was no reason for it.
During the entire game Hnppy was shaky and when Itoush hit thnt long
fly which he should have caught in his hip pocket, the experts expected him
to foozle or make n drop kick. Ho riju bnck, got uuder the pill, but it bounced
out of his hands. That caused two more scores and Itoush counted later on
n sacrifice fly. After that tho Sox were through. Eller continued to pitch
baseballs as baseballs should bo pitched, and his pals gave him flawless support,
nnd how could a guy like that lose under those conditions? He couldn't, and,
furthermore, ho didn't.
Hod pulled something for tho book in the second and third innings, when
he fanned sir Sor batters in a row. Gandil, Hlsberg, Schalk, Williams,
Lcibold and Collins bit tho dust in succession, but that was not all. In tho
fourth, the first two hatters hit weak grounders to the pitcher nnd were thrown
out, nnd Happy Eelsch fanned. Thus nine men in a row were disposed of by
Mr. Eller. Some record, we say.
N THE gamo Hoi fanned nine and th'is, according to the dopesters,
is tho lest pcrformanco in a world series since the third game in
100S, when Ed Walsh fanned an even dozen. Jawn Evers sags so,
and we are forced to string along with him. Anyway, if it isn't the
best since 1906 it should he and tee should worry. So should Hod.
ANOTHER hunk of dope which we will not attempt to prove Is that yester
. day's "game was the twenty-first shutout in u world series and tho fifth
B to 0 score. If anybody thinks this isn't right just look up tho scores for
the labt sixteen years. Wn don't know how many three-hit games were
pitched and don't care. Sixteen years is entirely too much to wish on one's
memory.
But now wo must spill somo scandal. Ray Schalk, the big bully, tried
to soak Charley Rigler on the beezer In tho sixth inning. Ray and Charley
bad different ideas on balls and strikes nnd nlbo nbout R decision at home
plate. Now Ray should know better than try to frighten nn innocent guy
who umpires for n living, because it can't be done and the decision always
toes ono way.
Anyway, Schalk spoke a few words to Rigler when Groh was at bat.
Rig called two balls which Ray sabl were btrikes. Ray lost nud became
exasperated, or words to that effect. But he kept his temper.
Then, when Roush hit that long drive n play was made to get Groh at
the plate. Rigler called him safe and tho trouble started. Schalk jumped at
Rigler, spoke several harsh words, made a swing and Ray was called out
instead o Heine. Lynn took his place behind the plate.
SOHAtiK thauld have hnown letter. He had no more chance of
licking Rigler than the White Box have against the Redtt
EDDIE MUnPIIY, who once, played In our midst, horned Into the box score
Jn the eighth. He batted for and, like Williams, struck out.

WHY Is it upon the snappy field of competition that nn individual or an
entire team will look llko n champion one day and two or threo dayi
lafcr will resemble a Scandinavian stew?
AT STATED times, of course, there are set physical or mental reasons for
these wide shifts in form. But on a great many occasions thero arc no
reasons in sight that one can determine. J
ALh the contender knows that ofc day he can and the next time
he can't. r
Not to Be Foretold -t,
YOU ill observe star tennis players and golfers who on Monday will look; I
unbeatable, and who on Wednesday with no alibi to offer In tho way ot '
bad health will bo entirely off. Why? They can never tell.
The same may apply in baseball. We put the query up to Christy Mnthcw- '
son, nnd he hud no explanation to give. "It may bo that on Monday," he I
said, "I might have pitched a IS or 4 hit game in the old days. On Thursday '
or Friday I would start again against probably a weaker hitting club. I would '
be ns confident' of winning on Thursday as 1 was on Monday; I might'1
physically feel even better. But on tho latter date nothing would go right. '
I would have no jump to my fast ball ; not much of u break to my curve and '
my control would be erratic. I would be trying as hard or harder than ever,
but that wouldn't help.
(fpHERE is no answer to this shift in form that any one can find.
It merely happens that way."
For a Group as Well t
THE queer part is thnt such a wide reversal can also assail nn entire team '
baseball oi football. Wc have seen football teams on ono Saturday play
brilliantly. On tho next Saturday in every whit as good physical condition '
they might look to be n different club, sluggish, out of gear and all the rest of
It. Not because their opponents were stronger, not because they were stale or '
physically unfit, but for some mysterious reason thnt again is not to be
explained. A backficld innn one day can handle long-twisting spirals with hi
teeth. '
rll'O days later he may be muffing every punt that comes his way,
and to save his immortal soul he can give no reason for the change
in form.
In Golf
THERE are days in golf when, after a stroke or two, you feci that you could
beat any man in your class. There nro other days when, after a hole or
two, you know you couldn't beat n one-armed drunk 'playing with a broom,
and you may feel better physically the second day than you did tho first.
These unexpected shifts are among the main causes that produce startling
upsets, especially iu a one-day or in a brief competition. They are the most
virile enemies of the ovcrclastic dope, for they arc not to be foretold.
T ALL gets back to the slogan of the field:
the next day you can't."

IF it's quantity you arc after,
Little Bobbie won't suit you.
There are other cigars around his
price that are, larger.
But if it's quality you want
and we think it is Little Bobbie
stands in a class by himself.
Little Bobbie is made with a
filler of fine, selected leaf. He
has a Sumatra wrapper. If it
weren't for his slightly smaller
size we could never afFord to sell
him at 7c or 3 for 20c. You'll
find 3 Little Bobbies a good investment!
