MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1921 _ The Ca BATTING AND FIELDING AVERAGES TOBE USED IN Defense Will Attempt to Show That Indicted Sox Played Their Best and Above Records for Season; Bride Payments Admitted CHICAGO, March 14.—Batting and fielding averages of |tWeen Felech and Jackson and what the eight Chicago White Sox fielded slowly by Fisher, scored Ris- berg for the third and final run. Cicotte pitched the fourth game for Chicago, losing 2 to 0, his own erro being responsible for both the Ni fonal leaguer’s runs, In the fourth ina- ing Cleotte threw wild to first, muf- fed a throw from Jackson and allowed 2 hits for 2 runs. TRIAL OF PLAYERS In the fifth game Eller shut out the White Sox 5 to 0. In the first inn- ing Leibold walked, Collings went out and Weaver singled. With two on Felsch Jackson flied out. With two out in the ninth Weaver tripled, but Jackson could not score him. Chi- cago had no other chances to score. Willlame pitched for Chicago. In the sixth inning Eller hit be- was described at the time as slow oh ERED players charged with throwi: the. 1918 world series and the claim that “Cincinnati on the series on the square! by playing better baseball than the Chi- cago White Sox” will be introduced by the defense in con- (ielding by the pair gave him an ex- tra base, Rath singled scoring Eller.

Attorneys for the defense have made no secret of the fact that they will contend that none of the players Y actually made deliberate misplays or actually took part in any game throw- ing. It is known that they will con- tend there was no conspiracy for that was brought out in affidavits filed; when the defense demanded a Dill of particulars in the case a few weeks ago. In proof of this contention, the world series batting’and fielding aver- ages of their opponents and their own regular season averages will be offer- ed as evidence. The state then will be challenged, it 1s believed, to prove that the ployers did not do their best to win and that they made more than the normal number of errors to be ex- pected when under the strain of world series games, The averages of the players con- cerned show that Buck Weaver, third baseman outhit and outfielded his op- ponent, Heinle Groh, and also sur- passed his own regular season aver- ages, both fielding and batting. Jackson equalled Weaver's feat, but Risberg’ and Felsch were outplayed | mathematically by their opponents and fell slightly below their own reg- ular season averages. Gandil also was below his opponent and his regular. season averages, except in world ser- jes fielding. He outfielded his oppon- ent, Daubert. McMullin was used only as a pinch hitter in the series batting .500 with one hit out ef two attempts. Cicotte and Williams, as pitchers, probably were not expected to do much hitting and neither did any in the series. Willlams fielded 1000, but Cicottee made two errors for an aver- ago of .778. Claude. Williams and Joe Jockson, in their confessions to the grand jury which investigated the series, main- tained they had played their best, confessing only to receiving money and «to ing» the..throwing of gamés, Citotte confessed to hitting Fgth, the first man up in the first game, purposely, but said he played his best after that. The other players ing into the conspiracy or receiving money. ‘The defense will be prepared to sub- mit the play by play account of the series, which shows that Chicago won its three games largely through the feats of some of the indicted play- ers. In reply the state plans to point out that Cincinnati won its five games through hard hitting of two indicted more runs. The {ndicted piayers did not figure in any other scoring. The accused players won the sixth game by their individual work, bring- ing a 5 to 4 ten inning victory to the Sox with Kerr pitching. Felsch’s ex- traordinary catch of Rousch's fly in the first, cut off a Cincinnati run and in the fourth Jackson threw out a man at the plate for a double play.
