CINCINNATI IS
FAVORITE HERE
Leaders in the National Lea
que Race Meet Klein Team
Tomorrow

No matter how one figures Har-
risburg fans will not pick any other
winner than Cincinnati, and the
Reds will be the choice of local en-
thusiasts in the Worlds Series. Gin
cinnati has been a big favorite here
all season, and If the weatherman
is good enough to give the fans an
ideal day, Island Park will have a
record baseball crowd.
1t does not often fall to the lot
of local fans to get a real cham
pionship team. but that is what is
due to play the Klein Chocolate
Company team here morrow.
Fans will be here from surround
ing towns. The upper end of the
county will send a large delegation
to give Jake Daubert their old
standby a great welcome. The Gin
cinnati team will arrive this evening
from York.
The game will be called at 3.45.
Manager Pat Moran is not certain
as to his battery. He assures the
local fans that his stars will all be
in the lineup and it looks as if he
would put in three of his best pitch
ers. Manager Moran wants to keep
his men in shape, and will play
everyday from now until the world S
series, weather permitting.
Jake Daubcrt Coming
His lineup will include the famous
infield, Groh, Roth and Daubert
The latter was born at Llewelyn,
Pa, May IA, 1885. He bats and
throws left handed. His height is
five feet ten and one-half inches
and weights $50 pounds. In 1906
he was with the Lykens team and
played in the upper end of the
county. Scouts at once sized him up
az a conner. In 1907 he went TO
Marion, Ind. played with Cleveland
and Nashville in 1908, Toledo and
Memphis 1909, drafted by Brooklyn
1909, where he has been since, fig
ured in a deal and Joined Cincin-
natl 1919.
Jake is not only n great fielder
but one of the best hitters in the
business, leading the league two
| seasons and never hitting below
400. His last season record was:
Fielding. .991; hitting, 1908. He is
| another worlds series player, hav-
ing been with Brooklyn in the
worlds series of 1916. He will
more than fill the place of Hal

Heinic Groh
Heinie Groh, Cincinnati's third
baseman, was born at Rochester, N.
Y, 1889, bats and throws right
handed, height five feet, eight inch
es, weights 15S pounds. He start

Buffalo same season, with New
York, 1928, traded to Cincinnati
1913, where he has been since, being
captain of the Reds this season.
Heinie is acknowledged by every
| baseball critic to be the best third
| sacker in either major league, be-
sides being a crack fielder he is a
great batsman, hitting around 800
every season he has been with Gin
cinnati. His 1918 record is: Bat
ting, 800; fielding, .969.
Groh probably has the most uni
que position at the bat of any player
in the business, but stings the bali
just the same as his 1918 record
shows. Besides being star ball
| player he is a crack bowler and
very popular.
Manager John Breckenridge, of
the Klein team, will have his star
lineup. He will pitch Walter Harm
ed. There may be one or two
changes, but the boys who made a
good showing against st. Louis Car
/ dinals and the Athletics will all be
