AHA fCINNAtA ~ ~ "'
IRAGIyE PARK, CINCINNATI, o.
Nav 2l.-Ned Hanlon has turned ~
here with a penrant winner, but tine
is the first time IN the memory OF the
EIincinnati fans that he brought a tail
end squad over the Rhine. The Reds
are knocking al the door Of the first
Egdivision as n result of beating the
a Giants three games. Nothing hut the
tsame dose will satisfy them In the series
4Aof four games with the Trolley Dodg-
sters that began this afternoon.
4fsIt Is conceded here, however. that
aHanlon is out OF his element In eighth
s2hole. He has not lost any of His old
v time cunning and there is good ground
FOR the belief that II the present team
Noes not pan out. Grandpa Ned will
&maIpe one OF his sensational deals and
pull out a winner. At any rate. the
Reds are not confident hat they have
fallen into a soft snap in the series with
@the Trolley Dodgers and will work hard
to pass the Bostons. The Heinies are
putting W a stiff article of bail. and
they need 10, for Hanlon always
trimmed them when he blew into Pork
town.
The trouble between Horace Fogel and
Christy Mathewson was greatly eXag-
gerated, as such things always are by
the Cincinnati pencil pushers. Fogel
said n few things about Christy, but
not one-haIf what he was reported to
nave said. Nevertheless, Horace ought
TO rehearse his speeches In private be-
fore he springs them on the public,
That is Hanlon's advice.
Manager Bancroft blew into town this
morning with a contract bearing the
autograph Of Mike Donlin tucked away
In his vest pocket, Banney's move ere
ated a sensation, but he gave it out
that Donlin was a better man after his
tough experience and would be rea! good
when he left the Baltimore Jail. Donlin
has a lot of friends working To get him
hardened, and Banney thinks he will be
gou; soon. Donlin signed for $1,000.
