It looked as if all the mints in the
country hat suddenly been moved to
the home of the Sox that nothing but
Chicago money was being coined. But
two defeats caused the followers of
Eddie Collins Eddie Cicotte and Lefty
Williams to subside. There was no
chance for them to hedge. There was
nothing left for them to do but wager
on the outcome of the remaining in
dividual games of the series In this
respect odds of 9 to 10 and take your
pick were utioted.
Even under those conditions Chi
cago fans were not liberal; that is.
they showed no pronounced inclina
tion to shake their purses to loosen
the few remaining dollars left in the
deep recesses of their coffers. Since
Cicotte and Williams couldn't stop
the Reds, they wore loath to believe
that Dick Kerr, the diminuiive south
paw who showed such impressive
form toward the close of the regular
season, would be able to stem the
onward sweep of the National
Leaguers.
