Claude ( Lefty ) Williams started the game for the White Sox giving up 4 hits in a row and 3 runs in the 1st inning before being removed. It was reported that if Williams lasted more than 1 inning he and his wife would be subjected to bodily harm after the conclusion of game.The Cincinnati Reds went on to win the game 10-5, and won the World Series that year. 1919 was not the usual 7 game series but was played as a 9 game series to see if a 9 game series would garner more interest. 9 game series were also played in 1903, 1919 and 1921 before settling on the 7 game series used today. After the dust settled the name Black Sox was given to this team to denote the black eye and shame it caused baseball and the city of Chicago.
