On October 2, 1919 — The Chicago White Sox lose the second game of the World Series, 4 – 2, to the Cincinnati Reds. Lefty Williams, one of eight Sox players involved in a Series-fixing scandal, walks three men in the fourth inning. Williams will pitch solid through the first three innings before walking 3, gives up a single to Edd Roush and a triple to Larry Kopf‚ giving the Reds lead 3-0. He will then be solid again the rest of the way surrendering just 1 more run in the ninth, but the Sox will score only two runs, losing the contest 4-2. Joe Jackson has 3 hits; his .375 BA will make it appear later that he was trying.
After the game, he is confronted and attacked by Sox catcher Ray Schalk.
