It. is difficult to understand why the White Sox thought that Eller was a rightfleld hitter. Their scouting must have been had. If they -only remembered how Eller beat the Giants in New York one day last summer by plastering the bill into the leftlield bleachers for a home run, they would never have been under the impression that he was a rightfield hitter. This is only one of the many instances where the Beds have shown themselves a smarter lot of ballplayers than the American Leaguers.

And ho it l.x with the Itciln. Suddenly in season, or lews than a season, they have eome from nowhere, flashed a pitching staff of class where In April there was but a Job lot of throwers, and have battered the best the game eould brlnjr forth. It does'nt seem real, but the box scores nnd the crowds nnd the eheers and the groans are there to prove it! XO ALIBI TO OFFER. PERSONALLY, we have no alibi to offer for picking the Sox to win. If another world's series were to open tomorrow, and one of the clubs had the players of class and note and known ability of the and the other was an aggregation of so-called misfits thrown together in a season and apparently playing far ahead of any gait it had a right to call its own, we'd pick the club with the class again.

On the following kickoff, Harr booted the ball far down the field and Horner, who made the catch on the edge of the playing field, stepped out of bounds on the two-yard line.

The ball was placed in play there and the logical thing for Pitt to do was to kick out of danger on the first down. Hamburger went back and booted. The kick was blocked and there was a wild scramble for the ball. When the mass of players finally was un-of tIie ow who. i 1 .1 i I Ktrnrk.

If anybody doubts that the Sox have the classier outfit on paper, let him do a bit of figuring. Let us say, for Instance, that the Reds take tomorrow's game and win tbe series, live games to one. The winter season comes along and the magnates begin their nnnunl bargaining in the open market for players. Which eluh, selling its players ladividually or in groups, would reolUe the larger lump sum, the Reds or the Soil It Is no guess that the White Sox would be guilty. Right now the Red pitching staff might bring more money, but Cicotte, able to win -O games through a American League season I Williams, a close second, and Kerr, a real star and consistent winner, along with Loudermilk and the others, still would command nifty price and would run Ruether, Ring, Kller, Sallee, Fisher, I.uque, et.

Roush rolled in innocent little grounder to Eddie Collins and the star of so many world's scries chose this occasion to make an error. It was the first error ho has made in 18 consecutive world's series games. Williams gave Duncan a pass and Kopf sent them along with a sacrifice. Ncale rolled a hopper at IMsberg, and while the Swede was tossing out at first. Roush scored.

In the faraway golden future, when Hod Eller is a tottering old. white-haired man, he will gather his children and his grandchildren about him at Christmas time and will take a dusty old baseball from the shelf. He will take it in his thin, bony lingers and show the kids how he tossed it way back in 1919 in Chicago, when he made two players, Jackson and Felsch, famous in their days as fence-busters, look like a couple of boobs. The White Sox are a downcast, crestfallen lot tonight. They have been patiently waiting for a break in the luck and in the meantime the Reds have been knocking wide bruises in their best pitching.

The Reds look for a picnic in Cincinnati tomorrow. It will be another holiday for Redland. The heroes will go home with four victories attached to their belts and are so confident that the series will end with tomorrow's game that they are already making plans to go back to the home folks on Wednesday.
