Here we are at Game 5 already.  Goodness.  Keep in mind that the World Series was the best of nine games that year.  The owners wanted to take advantage of the amazing crowds the first season back from the war, so they extended the World Series.

In Game 5 we are back to Lefty Williams pitching.  Williams pitched that day with extra enthusiasm.  Why?  Well he had just gotten a dirty envelope with $5,000 in it from Chick Gandil.  Sport Sullivan had delivered money to Gandil and he split it up among the players: five grand to Risberg, five to Williams, five to Jackson, and five to Felsch.  That was a lot of money to those players.  Goodness.

Williams threw a no hitter through four innings, with only a hit during the fifth inning.  In the sixth Cincinnati got a lead off triple from Hod Eller… the pitcher!  Goodness.  The first suspicious play of this game.  Jackson and Felsch let the ball drop between them and Felsch followed that with a bad throw to Risberg.  Risberg mishandled it and threw late to Weaver at third.  It looks like the newly gotten money greased the wheels a bit!  Later Edd Roush blasted a shot to center that Hap Felsch dropped!  By the end of the inning the Reds put four runs in and the White Sox catcher, Ray Schalk, was thrown from the game.

None of the Black Sox connected for a hit that game.  Goodness.

Hap Felsch is pictured below.
