CINCINNATI, Sept 3.-The charge
that the Reds are throwing games 10
the Giants ant Pirates To prevent the
Cubs from winning the championship
penuant is openly made by many Cincin-
natl fans. During the latter part of yes

vote. and nine out OF eevry ten I'm hts
section OF the grandstand gave IL as
his opinion that the Reds are Isving

Reds. The King deal fell through after
Murphy threatened TO sue Hermann for
damages. but the fans figure that Herr

The shaky work Of the Reds and their
utter lack Of ginger is cited as evidence.

continuation Of the fans suspicion Half
of the 500 people present left after the

members of the local team took a nap
on the diamond and allowed the Pirates
to steal four bases.
