Manager of Cincinnati Reds Relates Troubles With Jinxed Team and Gives
 Opinion on the Worlds
 Series; Hot One, Sez-ee

VIII you manage the Reds next year?' Hank O'Day was asked The Cincinnati leader looked as solemn as preacher as he replied:
 That is up to Garry Hermann. I haven't had chance to show what can do. Why, the team has been weak in the box all season Suggs. the best man We have. didn't win a game from early in June until the middle of August Then again experiencing the hardest kind of luck.
 There were three games in which the Reds made twenty eight runs and lost all of them, as our pitchers couldn't keep the other fellows down When l took hold of the Reds didn't have enough players to pro- vide against accidents. We went South shorthanded, whereas other major league clubs had enough play CTS to put three teams in the field
 As the season progressed Casper and Keefe fell down badly. Casper had no speed at all. He couldn't break pane of glass. Keefe lost his curve ball completely and was useless. I had to can them both Frank Smith was so wild that he couldn't get one ball in ten over the plate Then Johnny Bates, hitting
 $50, hurt his leg and was on the hospital list for weeks. MarSans and Bescher were laid up too at frequent intervals, so you can see that the Reds were in fierce shape
 If I had had first-class pitchers the team would have been ahead of the Cubs now But we wouldn't have had chance to beat out the Giants. because McGraW's men have too much class. But the Reds. even now. are not a bad bali club. ] wanted to buy several star minor leaguers. including Schalk Corridor and Butler. but my hands were tied. There are, however, other good men in the Class A Leagues, and we will put in drafts for them at the proper time
 What do you think of the worlds series?" O'Day was asked.
 'I'T tell you," he responded. If the Giants pitchers keep Speaker, Lewis and Hooper from hitting, the Red Sox will lose But the Giants will have lot of trouble with Joe Wood. It will be q great series
 If you don't manage the Reds next year will you accept Ban Johnson's offer to umpire in the American League?'
 I'll never umpire again.

Secretary of War to Pre- pare Letter for Cross Country Motorcycle Rid CTS to Carry; Compares It
 to Pony Express of Past

Secretary of War Stimson has been formally invited by President Patter- son of the federation of American mo- torcyclists to prepare message to be carried from New York City to Los Angeles on the ocean to- ocean relay race proposed by the motorcyclists.
 Years ago the pony express riders established a record says the invita- ton. in their relay races across the continent with the mail and express.
 "Fhe motorcycle has now assumed a prominent place in the service of both civilian and government and We are going to start relay race across the continent about October 1 in an en- deaVor to lower he time from ocean to-ocean. We will follow as nearly as possible the route used by the old pony express ridrs.
 We feel that the event is of na- tional importance, and we ask that you send message to be carried by our riders to member of your staff in Los Angeles; the message to be start ed from New York and carried as fast as possible to a destination you may name"
 The relay motorcycle race as now outlined calls for groups of three rid CTS clean across the continent One rider will be given the message and instructed to ride as fast as possible He win be followed by two other fast riders who will. in any emergency. take the message. They will ride from one stated control to another where the message will be given to other riders awaiting to bear the message further. The relay race will continue day and night until the last rider reaches the Pacific coast
 The tentative route for the race is from New York City to Pittsburg. Co lumbus. Ohio Indianapolis. St. Louis. Kansas City. and over the Santa Fe trail to Los Angeles.
 Requests for carrying the message over part of the relay continue to come into the president of the F. A. NJ. Miss Inez Patterson of Pratt. Kansas is the first girl rider to apply for part in the relay. She recently com pleted the 1,100-mile tour of the Short Grass Kansas motorcycle club through Kansas. Wyoming. Nebraska and Co dorado with honors and is considered Tn the west as one of the best girl mo- torcyclists in the country.

A LEGLEss MoToRcYCLIsT.

The pleasures of motorcyciins through California have been discov- cred already by thousands or riders on the Pacific coast-but what ride up and down the coast means to a legless man cannot be Over-emphasiZed. says Charles Hastings. of San Francisco
 A few years ago when MT Hastings was an actor. he was injured in a rail- way accident. Both limbs were sev- cred. He was forced to leave his pro fession and later took up the lot of a drummer. Although he had artificial limbs he found it inconvenient to travel on the trains and adopted the motorcycle.
 That was the beginning of his real pleasure a-riding. Now he says that nothing can compare to a motorcycle jaunt He travels through all parts of the coast state on the wo-Wheeler and is considered one of the best riders there.

1900 RIDERS PICKNICkING.

The growth of motorcycling in the far West and the aggressive attitude of the riders Were demonstrated when 1900 mOtOrcyclists gathered at Venice. California, several days ago at a mo- torcycle picnic. Two years ago but 200 riders made the trip from Los Angeles. In 1911. 691 rode their ma chimes on the outing. and this year three riders rode where one rode last year.
 Speeches made at the banquet dur ing the day emphasizing the rules and courtesies of motorcycIing. one rider said: We are strong against the open muffles and the quick and funny rid ing around curves. We believe in rid ing right and observing the laws. We won't stand for riders to carry pas sengers on the tanks of their ma chimes"
 There is no need of becoming dirty while riding motorcycle, ' said another rider. er.-'.And motor cycles can be run as smoothly as a high priced motor car. We know from experience and we're trying to teach all other motorcyclists on the Pacific coast

and his daughter soon discovered them. too
 In the recent Short Grass tour of Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Col orado, Miss Patterson was the most enthusiastic and happiest rider. She Ventured where others feared to go and not once did she lose When the thousand mile tour was finished the other riders voted that she was the greatest girl rider in the world and the heroine of that eventful excursian.
 But now she is after additional laurels She wants to carry the mes sage over part of Kansas during the coast to coast relay. This run is scheduled for early in October. The secretary of war has already been in Vited by President Patterson to send q message from New York 10 Los An geles by the motorcycle relay.
 And no matter who carries it in oth- CT states Miss Inez Patterson is almost sure to have the honor of bearing it over part of Kansas. She's ready for her part in the thrilling dash across the continent.

WILL RIDE IN OCEAN, TO-
 OCEAN RELAY.

Miss Inez Patterson. heroine of the short Grass" Kansas motorcycle tour of four western states has enlisted ip the an-tO-ocean relay of the federa- ton of American motorcyclists
 She is an enthusiastic. cheerful high school girl who loves the roIiicking out of doors and the motorcycle, she says, is the best means of enjoying it.
 Although but sixteen years old she's won her way into the hearts of Kansas motOrcyclists. For several years she's been master of motorcycle She learned before most girls-or even boys for that matter-ever think about riding two-wheelers.
 But in her case there was a good reason. Her father-Dr. B. J Patter- son of Pratt, Kansas was one of the first motorcycle boosters in that state. Now he's president of the fed- eration of American motorcyclists! He knew the pleasures of motorcycling

McGraw Overlooks Steal With Bases Full and Two Down - When the Runner Gets Away With It; Reiter PardOned

It is good to be justified in an act Reiter the Americans base steal ing right fielder made the bull play that scored Jay Towers last Sunday, he was well banned out for the deal It will be recalled the incident was somewhat this way.
 Jay was on third and Reiter roasted on the recently stolen second sack. A weak batter was up and there were two down. Now; Reiter slanted toward third and saw Jay standing off the base with his mitts in his pockets like waiting for a car. The Philly Kid got a flash that his big friend was a coacher and made his famous On-of- brick slide for third When he bumped into the idea that Jay was a base runner. he moseyed back to second. So far, so good. Jay gal unped home ahead of Buelna and his pill. scoring an almost impossible run But Reiter like a gee that has lost his wits from astonishment dallied on second until it was too late for a try at the corner station.
 Now for the justification
 The biggest bOnehead play in the world, so the fans and critics agree, is stealing third or second with the bases full" says John McGraw That play of course is the climax of ab- surdity. Yet there are times, on the level. when I wouldn't hesitate to or der man to steal second with the bases full. If you had the bases packed with quick. keen witted run ners. two out. and some fellow up who was a mark for the pitcher on watch. what would be d better play than to send the man on first right down to second? Start the runner from third, of course as soon at they began throwing the ball around, and keep all three of your runners moving. There would be all sorts of chances for a huff, a bad throw, or cleanly beating the ball home and. once the run was in, they could have the man who had run off first, and welcome to him. I'll risk that kind of a bonehead play any time the opportunity presents itself"
 Now. if. the bulldog had just stuck on third, he would have reason to feel real proud of himself, for is he not defended by that dictator of baseball. Muggy McGraw? If the chance ever comes his way again. it is predicted Reiter will try to outrun Towers into home. It would be just like him, and if he gets away with it, well. maybe the Giant manager will come through with another bit of WiSdim.

The work will include combination of the old time sprinting work with long distance runs. rolling and tunlbl- ing. falling on the ball and early work at the tackling bag.
 The coach believes that any candi date who survives the hard work for two weeks will be able to take part in the early games and those who are unable to do so will have no place on the team. It is expected that the line will be a light one and the wig orous training has been decided on to offset in measure the lack Of weight.
