CINCINNATI, 12:30 p. m.—Official announcement was made shortly after noon of the assignment of umpires. Rigler will officiate at the home plate; Evans, at first; Quigley, at second and Nally, at third.
With the sun shining brightly two hours before the time for the game to start, the pavilion and bleachers at Hedland Park have been filling up rapidly, while only scattering spectators are in the grandstand boxes. More than a dozen bands or orchestras have entertained those who arrived early, and numerous quartets and individual vocalists vied with each other in singing popular airs.
The Cincinnati Reds appeared on their bench at 12:23 and were given a vociferous welcome by the immense throng. A band paraded around the field, stopping for a brief period before the pavilion and various sections of the bleachers.
Cincinnati's nine runs were made in a game, each side making one.
Chicago got six hits, but they were badly scattered. Cicotte Knocked Out of Box.
Cicotte, the star pitcher for Chicago, went to pieces in the fourth inning. Cicotte was taken out and Wilkinson placed in the box. He was replaced by Lowdernilk in the seventh inning. Cincinnati did not go to bat in the ninth inning, pitched his game through and did wonderful work. He made two of the five scores in the fourth, and knocked out a three-bagger, in the eighth, netting another run, thus being personally responsible for three of Cincinnati's when five runs were made by the Cincinnati Reds.
