REDLECS PROVE
RIGHT TO FLAG
Cincinnati BattIers Prove
Themselves to Be
Iron Men.
WALLOPED GIANTS IN DEN
Nothing Can Prevent Them
From Entering Big Series
at Ton Speed.

The Reds are men of steel. They
are imperturbaLle. They have been
through the fire and have come out
without losing a tail feather.
They've played the steadiest ball
exhibited by any big league team
this year. With the team in even
better shape now than at any pre-
vious stage OF the game, with a win
ming streak on that seems unstoppa-
BILE. It is hard to figure how they win
do anything else but keep on winning
and enter the worlds series against
the best the American league has to
offer. at top speed which may carry
them to a worlds championship.
The Reds bearded the lion in his
den and walloped him numerically.
They took possess n of the den and
turned II wrong side out.
They finished an invasion of the
east--New York. Brooklyn, Boston
and Notwithstanding fifteen
games and losing three. They scored
eighty-five runs to their opponents
ffty-two. They played 1898 baseball
1t was one of the most remarkable
road trims in the history Of baseball
It probably was the most talked OF.
beginning at New York Aug. IS,
where three double-headers were
played, the Reds downed their oppo-
nents regularly. New York won two
games from them and Brooklyn won

One OF the victories to the credit
OF the Giants was a fourteen-inning
affair. ending 2 to for the McGraw-
men, But for muffed throw at the
plate in the ninth inning the Reds
would have won five of the six games
PLAYED.
The Reds played six double-head-
ers-six extra games-and they fat
tened on the menu, The faster they
came the better they liked 'em. There
was no stopping the Moran crew.
In the fourteen days they were in
the east they played ball on twelve
days. They had just two days OF
rest.
Skeptical fans and critics feared
the Reds would crack in the crucial
period. IF the eastern invasion
wasn't crucial then there Is no living
illustration of the term. The stage
was set against the Reds--hostilo
hordes in New York. piled-up post
poned games, strengthened opposi-
ton, etc. And they didn't crack.
If the Reds keep up this gait II
isn't going to be cinch this year
for the American champs. In fact
1t looks as II they were up against It.
