Oct. 10, 1919: Rath up. Strike one. Foul, strike two. Rath opened the contest with a pop fly that Risberg got in short left. Daubert up. Strike one. Daubert singled to center. It was a line drive that Leibold made a great effort for but could not quite reach before it touched the ground…  		Oct. 10, 1919, Black Sox  
…Groh up. Strike one. Groh fouled the first one off. Ball one. Foul, strike two. Groh fouled the third ball into the left field pavilion. Groh singled to right. It was a short hit that cleared over first base and Daubert held second.

July 23, 1921: Original copies of confessions by Eddie Cicotte, Joe Jackson and Claude Williams that they threw the 1919 World Series have mysteriously disappeared. Well, it is Chicago, after all. Fortunately, there are carbon copies.
