To win ti.c pennant, the Cincinnati Reds have to annex two more games, while the White Sox would have to win four more games. BY HENRY L. FARRELL (United Press Staff Correspondent.) COMISKEY PARK, CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—A grim tenseness pervaded the atmosphere of Comiskey park today, when the White Sox and Reds met in the fourth game of the world series, Every action of the athletes on the field revealed their knowledge that today’s game may be the turn- ing point of the championship stru; gle. Before the Reds went on the field, Manager Moran was hesitating whether to start Jimmy Ring or Walter Reuther. Ring was his overnight choice, but the Red play- ers themselves believed Reuther might be called upon if Cicotte pitches for the Sox. Gleason was also mentally debat- ing his box selection. Eddie Cicotte, who has begged for a chance to re- deem himself, was figured as a likely choice. An hour before game time, the bleachers, which showed a couple thousand ant seats yesterday, were jammed, Cleotte batted with the regulars in the pitcher’s position during the workout, Cincinnati backers were taking some bets on today's game at 6 to 5, with the Sox favorites, There was said to be little betting today on the series, The particular baseball deity that hands out the weather was in a mellow mood again today. The weather conditions were fully as good as yesterday, The playing field was in better Shape today, It was faster. First Inning TIi—Rath CINCIN left ver's head, Daubert hit into a double play, *E.
