REUTIIER CHOICE

THROW JOB SOX
Moran Thinks Title Is Cinched,

He Still Has Even
SM
ii 'i rti'u
Chicago, Oct 6. With the Reds
victorious in four of five games.
Manager Moran of the Cincinnati
club indicated tonight the- he would
start Walter Ruether against the
White Sox in the sixth game of the
series scheduled for Cincinnati to
morrow. Ruether pitched the Reds to a
9-to-l victory in the opening game
of the series, and has been clamor
ing for a return engagement against
the Chicagoans.
Manager Gleason's pitching selec
tion undoubtedly will be Dick Kerr,
the diminutive ' left-hander, who
scored Chicago's only victory in the
scries. He pitched a remarkable
game, holding the Reds to three hits,
and is ready to face them again.
"It's all over but the shouting,"
8?!d Manager Moran tonight. "We'll
win again tomorrow, rio matter who
Gleason pitches. My players feel
that the world's championship, al
ready within grasp, is already theirs.
The Reds have played championship
ball all the way through, and I am
proud to be their manager.
"Eller pitched one of the greatest
games that ever won a world's
series today. He couldn't be
touched that's all. His feat . of
striking out six in a row will go
down in world's series history as
one of the greatest achievements on
a ball field."
Manager Gleason of the Sox also
gave great credit to Eller, but de
clared that the Sox were not play
ing the brand of base ball that won
them the American league pennant
"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 today. 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 4he last
man is out. Although the odds are
heavily against us, we are not quit
ters. I have every hope that we'll
win out yet. Stranger things have
happened. I expect to start Kerr
tomorrow, and if he's right he'll
win."

Central-South High Game ,
Saturday at Rourke Park
Central High school, whose goal
has not been crossed this season,
is planning a come-back, to make
up for deafeat last year at the hands
of the South High school. Last
year's defeat was largely due to the
ineligibility of fast players. An
other reason was the lack of signal
practice.
Coach Mulligan this season is
taking extra precaution and is whip
ping his men into shape rapidly. The
game will be staged at 2:30 Saturday
afternoon at Rourke park.

tired to allow Murphy to appear in
the role of pinch hitter, but he
merely fattened Eller's - strike-out
record, and in the ninth Mayer went
to the mound for the Sox. His
wildness was partly responsible for
the final run with which the visitors
capped their score.
Umpire Chases Schalk.
Schalk, premier catcher of the
American league, or any other
league according to his admirers,
came forward as the first player to
be chased by an umpire during the
series. It was in the sixth, when
most everything happened, that this
occurred. Groh had slid to' the
plate, accumulating large holdings
of base line real estate on the facade
of his anatomy, and Schalk claimed
that he touched the runner before
the latter had plowed his way to the
plate. In his excitement he jumped
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
brightly and the temperature was to
the liking of players and spectators
alike.
Rath Stays on Second.
In the first round Rath reached
first on free transportation and was
sacrificed to second, but neither
Groh nor Roush could deliver and
he got no further. In their half the
Sox did a little better. Liebold, the
first man up, waited for four wide
ones and took second on an infield
out and reached third on Weaver's
single, which was checked, but not
captured, by Eller. Th partisan lo
cal 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 to
left.
In the second and third -the crowd
was treated to the remarkable ex
hibition in which Gandil. Risberg,
Schalk, Williams, Liebold and Ed
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 had
flied out to Felsch, Roush 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 steal
ing, while Rariden flied out to cen
ter. In their half, with two down,
Schalk-singled. -but Williams- whiffed
and again the Sox failed to threaten.
Eller Fools Them.
Nothing could have appeared less
suspicious than Eller when he came
to the plate at the beginning of the
sixth round. As a pitcher, nothing
was expected of him and among
those in this trame ot mina was
Claude, alias "Lefty" Williams. Even
the organization of Red fanatics,
who brought a brass band up here,
were not looking for what happened,
and started out of their seats when
Eller connected with one in the
groove and it started off' due north.
Jackson, whose mind appeared to be
puzzling over the jinx that had set
tled on his hairpins, was slow in
starting foHt, 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.
The ba!l was wearying of its roll
when Jackson and Felsch came up to
it at the left field fence. Felsch
seized 'it and hove in the general
direction of the diamond, dimly vis
ible 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 mat
ter where the infield played and
Eller trotted home with the first
run. Rath was advanced to second
by Daubert's perfect bunt toward
third, although Daubert was out at
first. Groh's patience was rewarded
by a pass at which stage of the pro
ceedings Schalk and Williams ad
dressed a pepery collection of re
marks to Rigler to the effect that
the umpire was not calling strikes
when Williams cut the corners. It
was the forerunner of Schalk's im
pending expulsion.
Roush in on Onslaught.
Roush, who had but one hit to
his credit to date in the series, de
clared himself in on the onslaught
at this juncture and recorded his
second hit in left center, a triple,
and Rath and Groh counted. The
play at the plate was close on Groh
and it was here that Schalk's impas
sioned commentary led to his ban
ishment. 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 flied to Jackson. . It was
a prettty catch by Jackson, but his
throw to the plate was a little wide.
Lynn got the ball, but Roush
crossed the plate. Williams stead
ied wonderfully in the seventh and
eighth, retiring the side in rotation.
H was taken out in the Sox half of
the eighth to allow Murphy to bat
and Mayer succeeded him as pitcher
Final Run Off Meyer.
The final run of the game was
made off Mayer, a former National
league twirler. He : sent one to
Rousch which the Reds' outfielder
tapped toward Ed Collins. The
Chicago captain fumbled the ball and
Roush was given a life. Mayer was
unsteady and Duncan drew a free
ticket to first Kopf came along
with a perfect bunt toward Weaver,
and while he was being retired, at
first Roush reached third. Neale
grounded to Risberg and on the play
to first Roush registered. Ed Col
lins retired the side by throwing
Rariden -out at first

Snapshots of Game.
Chicago Oct. 6. The total at
tendance 'for the five games was
158,069. The attendance for the
three Chicago games was 97,868.
One of the Cincinnati rooters sit
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. t
The teams left at 10 o'clock to
night for Cincinnati, where the sixth
and perhaps the final game of the
series is scheduled for'today.
, If a seventh game is necessary it
will be played in Cincinnati Wednes
day. The Reds were . in a hilarious
frame of mind after the game. They
slapped each other on the back, yell
ing that tomorrow's game would
find them base ball champions of
the world.
Twelve special trains were re
quired to transport the base ball
players, newspaper men and fans to
Cincinnati tonight.
"Kidv' Gleason still wears his cap
on the side of his head, but he
wasn't much in evidence on the
coaching line today. Moran, how
ever, coached his players from the
first base line.
' Eddie Murphy, the Sox pinch hit
ter, 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 re
ceipts for going to bat twice so far
in the series, plus whatever else he
may do in the remaining games. I
When the Sox got, two men on j
bases in the first inning with only
one out, Manager Moran sent Lu
que, the Cuban twirler, to warm
up, but Eller came through with fly
ing colors, and pitched record
breaking ball.
Even the Chicago players ap
plauded Ellcf when he returned to
the bench after sfetting a world's
series strike-out record of six in a
row.
The crowd gave Eller a great ova
tion whe he came to bat in the
sixth. He connected with a triple
that started the Reds to victory. He
fanned the next time up. ;
Bartfield Almost Scores
Knockout on Johnny Tillman
Minneapolis, Oct. 6. After put
ting up an erratic and indifferent
fight for nine rounds, Soldier Bart
field of Brooklyn tore into Johnny
Tillman in the final round here Mon
day night and almost knocked out
the Minneapolis welterweight. Till
man tried hard in every round and
scored quite a few blows while the
easterner was missing terrific
swings.
Sam Langford to Meet Jack
Thompson in Opening Show
Duluth, Minn., Oct 6. The Du

license from the state boxing com

dozen or more prominent boxers
here for winter shows. Tentative
arrangements for the first bout have
Sam Langford and Jack Thompson,
negro heavyweights, in a 10-round
windup.
Jackson Scores K. 0.
Philadelphia, Oct. 6. Willie Jack
son, New York lightweight, knocked
out Eddie Morgan of England in the
fourth round of a six-round bout
here Monday night.
Jackson showed his superiority
from the start and at the end of the
third round he had the English box
er hanging over the ropes, the bell
probably saving him. In the next
round a hard left to the stomach,
followed by a right to the jaw, sent
him down'for the count.

ELLER'S WORK ON
MOUND SHOWN IN
GAME ANALYSIS
Hod's Hurling Was Best in
the Five World's Series
? Contests Played Up
toDate,
Chicago, Oct 6. Hod Eller's
sensational pitching for Cincinnati
in today's game of the world's series
stood out plainly in the pitching
analysis. 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 basemen,
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 in
nings, and half of that number were
recorded, in the second and third,
when he struck out six successive
batsmen. In the third inning Lie-
bold was the only Sox player' to
touch the ball, and his best was a
high foul into the upper tier of the
grandstand.
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 18 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'unusually
fine, Williams pitched a fine brand
of ball also, and made a creditable
record in all departments. He had
43 strikes in eight innings and only
28 balls, a performance which was
far ahead of his exhibition at Cin
cinnati in the second game of the
series. Williams was working the
inside corner constantly, and it was
a pitch of this species below his
knees that Eller lofted between
Jackson and Felsch after - waving
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 compared with Eller's one.
Mayer, who pitched the ninth for
Chicago, exhibited 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.
Reds Lead White Sox
In Batting Averages
World's Series Games
Chicago, Oct. 6. Both the Cin
cinnati and Chicago clubs sutlered a
slump in their batting today as a
result of the great pitching duel
waged between Claude Williams,
the star southpaw, and Hod Eller,
Moran's great right hander. The
former held the National league
champions to four hits, while the
American league representatives
gathered only three off the offerings
of Eller. ( . V
Tonight the clubs are 'separated
by 23 points, with the advantage in
favor of the National league club.
Cincinnati is hitting for a club av
erage of .213, compared to a mark
of .190 made by vthe Chicago club.
Four men on the : Moran aggrega
tion are above the select "300" mark.
They are Ruether, with his perfect
score of .1.000, Wingo and Fisher
with .500. Eller with .333.
On the Sox aggregation four men
are hittinjr in the select crowd, but
none has a perfect average. Mc
Mullin leads the American leaguers
with a mark of .500, while Joe Jack
son, the mighty slugger of the
Americans, is batting .316. Schalk
has an average of .308, while Weav
er is just under the wire with .300.
The National league club has

WRESTLERS AND
MANAGERS HERE
TO SEE MAT SHOW
Pesek-Londos Match Attracts
Stars of the Game and
Their Handlers Ernie
Holmes to Referee.
Rival wrestlers and their man
agers are taking a keen interest in
the match which will be staged be
tween John Pesek and Jim Londos
at the Omaha Auditorium next Fri
day night.
Bjlly Sandow, manager of "Stran
gler" Lewis, came' to Omaha from
Cherryville, Kan., last Thursday, the
day the match was originally sched
uled to take place. When he found
the match postponed Sandow re
turned to Kansas, but announced his
intention Of coming back to Omaha
Friday to see the battle and chal
lenge the , winner in behalf of
Lewis.
Sandow is taking a keen interest
in Pesek, who, he believes, is one
of the men Lewis will have to elimi
nate if he works his way back to
the mat championship. A year ago
Sandow pooh-poohed at Pesek and
did not consider him a worthy oppo
nent for Lewis, but he has begun to
change his tune of late. Somebody
has tipped off Sandow that the Ne
braskan is a budding champ. When
in Omaha Sandow admitted he was
tickled'to hear that Pesek and Lon
dos were matched, for the clash
would give him a good line on Pe
sek's abiltty as a mat performer.
Joe and Tony Stecher will be on
hand Friday for the match. They
also are taking a great interest It
Pesek because a demand for a mate!
between Joe and John is beginninj
to make itself apparent .
Jack , Reynolds, welterweight
champion, is here, not to get a lint
on either performer, because he it
not in their class, but to see the
match, which he declares will be the
best wrestlinbg match ever staged
in umana. .
Ernie H times, it has been an
nounced, will referee. Ernie was
selected . by Promoter Jack Lewis
after Mart Slattery, Pesek's man
ager, and Jim Londos could not
agree. Slattery and Londos fussed
and fumed and argued until Lewis
gave up in despair of ever finding
a man who would be acceptable to
both. So he took the bull by the
horns and named Holmes.

THE only cigarette above the cheapest brands that has

Fatima's sales nearly equal those of all the straight
Turkish cigarettes combined; and no other cigarette costing
as much as Fatima has one-half of Fatima's annual sales.
The reason may be that Fatima contains more Turkish
than any other Turkish blend. This would mean, in
other words, that instead of containing too much Turkish
as straight Turkish cigarettes do, or too little as in the
. poorer Turkish blends, Fatima's famous blend contains
just enough Turkish just enough to taste right and just
enough to leave a man feeling right even after smoking
