"I've lived for this day," says Dickie Kerr, who pitched two winning games for the White Sox in the 1919 Black Sox World Series. "If they can win it, at least I'll be able to hold up my head again. I always knew that somehow, sometime, the White Sox would get back into the series."

The Dodgers headed home with the World Series tied at 1-1 after beating the White Sox, 4-3.

Charlie Neal hit two home runs and Chuck Essegian had a pinch-hit home run for the Dodgers. Essegian hit for Dodger starter Johnny Podres and connected on a 3-1 pitch from Bob Shaw. Jim Gilliam then walked and Neal followed with his second home run.

The series shifted to L.A. with more talk about all those tickets.

The Times reported that federal agents would be on the watch for scalpers. One man said he paid $90 each for six box seats and had heard of people paying up to $125 for each box seat.

And there were worries about traffic. Police officials were asking people to get to the Coliseum as early as possible. The circus, of all things, had a matinee scheduled at the new Sports Arena, making things in the neighborhood even wackier. But at least the Los Angeles Bureau of Music decided to cancel a band concert planned for Exposition Park.
