TURNS OUT

Screech Welcome to Conquerors
Of White Sox.

CINCINNATI, October 11.-"Hilari-
Gus Cincinnati rose yesterday to cele-
brate as a public holiday the trium-
phal return of the Reds from Chicago,
where they won the base ball cham
pionsftp of the world Thursday from
the Chicago White sox.
"a proclamation. calling on all citi-
holiday from 8 o'clock until noon. had
been issued by Acting Mayor Carl ia
cobs and was widely observed, many
business houses remaining closed.
The proclamation urged all Cincin-
natians to be present at Fountain
square at 10 O'clock to pay homage
to the world champions.
The Reds arrived in Cincinnati
shortly after o'clock, and 1t seemed
that half Of the city was at the Gen.
tral Union Railroad station to greet
the conquering heroes on their re-
turn from Chicago.
When the train pulled in the build
ing rocked from the cheers, and when
the Reds alighted from their train.
their faces creased with wide grins. a
wild scene of enthusiasm ensued.
Hats were thrown into the air and
men, with their arms around one an
others necks, performed weird and
extemporaneous dances. Women,
many of them wearing hats of vivid
crimson, climbed on the iron railing
between the train shed and the de-
pot proper and screamed at the top
of their voices. Small boys were
everywhere, and the great throng was
engulfed in enthusiasm. Manager
Morark had to salute constantly in re-
sponse to the cheers.
The crowd called the players by
their first names and cheered them all
Individually and collectively.
The players had literally to fight
their way through the crowd to reach
automobiles in which they were
taken to the Business Mems Club,
where an elaborate breakfast had
been prepared for them. Fans on foot
followed the automobiles and there
was quite a parade formed.
Meanwhile church bells, fire engine
bells and factory, seamboat and loco
motive whistles added to the din.
The elementary schools closed un-
til noon and the high schools for all
day, and the pupils hurried down.
town to catch a glimpse of the new
world champions. There were no
speeches. at the club breakfast In
stead. all devoted themselves to re-
jcicing over the victory. But there
was one chant that seemed popular.
1t was this: Who took the glee out
of Gleason?'
Then the rain came up. AS a re-
suit the demonstration which had
been planned for Fountain square was
postponed. Instead the players went
to Redland Field, where they held
their last meeting of the season and
prepared to receive their world series
checks, as the victors.
