MEMORIAL FUND
GROWS STEADILY
THROUGHOUT CITY
Organization of Neighborhood
Clubs Urged to Care For
Individual Soldiers

The Memorial Fund campaign is
gathering momentum.
All that is lacking to put the
campaign over with a rush is
want of proper understanding on
the part of the public as to the real
purpose and meaning of the cam
paign, say those in charge. Those
who understand the plan, are re-
spending readily, and with many
words of praise for the ingenious
arrangement that will give every
service man, rich and poor, high and
low. an equal representation in the
city's outpouring of gratitude.
AS a sure sign that the fund is
coming in. several highly encour-
aging responses were pointed out at
headquarters in the Chamber offices
this morning.

New York Considering
Prehistoric Garb

New York, Oct. S. With the
laundry workers strike entering
its third day the average New
Yorker to-day inspected his
dwindling stock of clean linen and
then wondered If. when even his
flannel shirts were exhausted, he
might escape sartorial criticism
by donning a leopard skin or some
other garb of pre- historic days.
With laundry owners and strik-
ers apparently unable to reach an
agreement with regard to the
closed shop, and union leaders
claiming that nearly all Manhat-
tan laundries had been closed. in
terest shifted across the East Riv-
er to Brooklyn, where unionists
declared employees were consider
ing laying aside soap and irons.
1t was to the Chinese laundry,
with its pink slips and curious
black scrolls, that Beau Brummel
pinned his faith. The Orientals,
undisturbed by ;he labor unrest of
their coworkers. continued
placidly with their business which
was reported booming"

Cincinnati. Oct. S.-Fighting with
their backs to the wall but hopeful
despite their four defeats, the White
SoN will meet the Reds to-day in
the seventh game of the worlds ser
les. The Reds and the $4,000 fans
who witnessed yesterdays ten-in
ming battle feel confident that the
contest would be the decisive one
and that before night the men of
Moran would be proclaimed base
ball cham pions of the world.
Before the game started it was
believed that Manager Gleason of
the SoX would send Eddie Cicotte.
rated as the master pitcher of the
American League, to the mound tC
face the Red legs Cicotte tried
twice to stop them and failed, but
Gleason has every confidence that
he can master the Reds If his arm is
in condition. y is possible. however,
that Big Bill'' James may be Glea
sons eleventh-hour choice.
Prepare to Celebrate
Supporters of the Reds believed
that slim" Sallee would be Man
ager Moran's pitching selection.
Sallee scored the Reds second vic
tory of the series and is declared to
be ready to take his turn on the
pitching mound again.
All Cincinnati is getting ready to
celebrate the expected victory of
the, Reds and there was a wild rush
to-day to get tickets for this af-
ternoon's contest. The sale opened
last night and hundreds stood in line
for hours awaiting to purchase
choice box and grandstand seats. If
the Sox are victorious in to-day's
contest. the teams will have to re-
turn to Chicago for the eighth game
Thursday. But admirers of the Reds
are confident this trip will be un-
necessary.
That sixth game yesterday, going
to ten innings and seeing the Reds
beaten five to four was full of thrills
and erratic baseball. The Reds pass
up several opportunities, something
they have not been doing in the
series. The Reds made eleven hits
the SoX made three errors, two men
walked and one was hit-out of the
chances they collected only four
runs.
Gleason Now Hopeful
Despite the three errors, the Sox
defense froze up whenever the Reds
were getting dangerous. The SoX
seemed to realize tina" a huniliating
defeat faced therI unless a brace
was taken ana the team played
championship ball in spots.
After the game Manager Glea-
son declared that the SoX had -.
last hit their championship stride
and although beaten in four of the
six games were far from out of the
race. The SoX seemed to he fired
with a new spirit, which they hoped
would turn the tide of defeat in
to victory
Heated Arguments
Despite the Reds setback yester-
day the crowds that waited at the
box Offices Of Redland Field to buy
seats were of the same proportions
as those that gathered there on the
days previous. The ines stretched
for blocks up and down the streets
and several heated arguments had
to be settled by the police. They
were usually debates on the merits
of the two teams as shown in yes
tel days contest.
The probable lineup for to-day's
follows.
