Pitchers: Ring (Cin.) vs Cicotte (Chi.)
Suspicious plays:  Cicotte hits first batter in 1st in shoulder (sign to gamblers that the fix is on); Cicotte fields drive in 4th, but is slow to throw to second, making doubleplay impossible; Cicotte's pitches lose velocity and are not well-placed in 4th, allowing Cincinnati scoring spree. (Cicotte found $10,000 in his pillow the night before the first game.)

Pitchers: Ring (Cin.) vs Cicotte (Chi.)
Suspicious plays: In the 4th, Cicotte fields a ground ball and throws wildly to first; with a runner at second in the 4th, Cicotte give up a single, then steps in front of a ball thrown perfectly to home--the ball deflects to the stands and the runner scores.

Pitchers: Williams (Chi.) vs. Eller (Cin.)
Suspicious plays:  Williams, pitching hurriedly in the 1st, throws fifteen poor pitches--four go for hits (scoring three runs) and he is taken out of the game. (Williams might have been threatened the day before the eighth game with physical harm to himself or his wife if he did not do his best to ensure a Cincinnati victory--in the first inning.)

Cincinnati wins the best-of-nine series, five games to three.
