REDS GOT AWAY ID A FOUR-RUN LEAD Duncan Doubles to Right in the Pinch, Scoring First
 Two Tallies

Cincinnati, Ocotber 7.-The person who was directed yes terday to shin up the pole at Redland park and measure it for the worlds championship bunting slid down the shaft a bit today and the measuring was postponed.
 The reason was that as the Chicago White Sox did not dare to lose today's game, for with it would have gone the championship. they overcame lead of four runs and by delivering one more tally in the tenti round, won the game, five runs to four for Cincinnati It was a contest replete with thrills and heartbreaks, varied by some weird fielding, snappy base running. mighty clouts. made catches. and. in short, practically everything relating to base ball
 Cincinnati looked like a certain win ner in the third a.d fourth rounds in the course of which four Reds legs crossed the plate. In the fifth, how ever, the Sox turned two passes and a single into a tally. and in the sixth two doubles and two singles were the maJoi factors in the three runs which tied the score

KNOX IS AUTHOR

senator Lodge told members later that the measure was made by Senator Knox. republican. of Pennsylvania, who intro- euced it, and Senator Hitchcock of Ne braska, in charge of the democratic forces. Senator Chamberlain in opposing 1t spoke for two hours, and there was much other debate before a vote was reached.
 During the morning hour" the two hour period beginning at noon, in which everything on and off the calendar is discussed, there was, however, a sharp Wrangle over the league, due to charges that the League to Enforce Peace and other organizations were putting out propaganda in an effort to force the senate to ratify the treaty unamended.
 Senator Brandegee, republican of Con- hect1cut, who recently announced that ne, would vote for all smendments and reservations and then vote agafhat Tai ifs- cation, started the clash by presenting telegrans and letters sent by the League to Enforce Peace to one of his constitu ents at New Haven. Senator Poindex- ter. republican of Washington, added a word in denunciation of the league prop aganda practice, and attacked Senator Hitchcock. who previously had charged that many opponents of the league were bolshevists and pro-Germans
 Reference by Poindexter to Senator Iitchcock's "war record" drew fire from the latter, while the charge by the Ne braska senator that 'all the lawless ele- ments" in this country and abroad had organized to defeat the league of ns- fions, and that "all the high -class, intel lectual and vital clements stood firmly for it brought forth debate
