WHITE S0X MANAGER IS
 PLEASED AT NINE GAMES
Kid Gleason Says He Can Take More Chances With His Pitchers In Longer Series
 With Cincinnati.

New York, Sept. 1.-The White SOx have 12 games to play, and if Cleveland should win all of their 12 remaining games the White Sox would have to win six out of their remaining dozen to clinch the flag. It isn't at all likely that Cleveland will win all of its games, and the Sox will have an easier task taking the flag than they are preparing for.
 Manager Gleason figures that he has a better chance in a nine-game series than he would have in a seven game affair. In the long series he believes that he can gamble more with his chances, and he hasn't any doubt but that Cicotte and Williams will be able to do just as effective work in a nine-game series ae in the shorter test.
 Gleason has a world of confidence in Cicotte, and from the manager down to the bat boy the White Sox are imbued with the spirit of victory. While they are not making any rash predictions, they are confident of their own ability.
 Eddie Collins, the main cog of the White Sox machine, celebrated an anniversary yesterday. It was just 13 years ago yesterday that Collins played his first major league game. He played with the Athletics under the name of Sullivan against the White Sox in Chicago. In that game Eddie was just fresh from Columbia University and got two hits The game was an Thinning affair and was won by the White Sox by score of , to 4. The opposing pitchers were Rube WaddelI and Big Ed Walsh.
 Paul Carpenter, a new right-hand- ed pitcher from the wilds of Texas, reported to Manager Huggins yester- day. Carpenter is only one of a whole troupe of new players that duggins expects to look over before lIhe season closes

TWO JOCKEYS HURT IN RACES
 AT AQUEDUCT

New York, Sept. 17-Accidents to two jockeys, who were painfully though not seriously injured, provided more thrills for the crowd at Aque- duet yesterday than did the contests among the horses. It was a day which offered no real feature and did not bring out any of the high-class per formers. The Woodmere Selling Stakes, which was the most important of the events, was contested for by good selling platers and went to w. c. Clancy's Pickwick, which beat S c. Hndreth's Arrah Go On, Youneed and Housemaid.
 The jockeys who were injured were Burgess and Rowan. It appeared to the spectators that Burgess had been seriously hurt when he fell in the steeplechase race, but it was found later that he had only been badly shaken up and had no broken bones. Rowan was kicked while at the posc in the last race and had to be brought back to the jockeys room- The horses were held at the post while Jockey Carroll was substituted for the injured rider,
 Burgess was riding Samuel Willet's Sweet Kiss in the steeplechase, which
 
 thrown from his mount when Sweet Kiss stumbled at one of the hurdles in the stretch. The jockey rolled over the head of the horse and the animal fell so close to him that 1t seemed the jockey had been crushed. Burgess did not move First aid was rendered while the ambulance was hustled to the scene The jockey was carried to the ambulance, but arriving at the Jockeys room he recovered conscious ness. and it was discovered he had not been badly hurt
 Rowan was kicked while he was on the Beach Stables Muf1ns in the sixth event, a five-fur1ong dash for maiden two-year-olds. He was forced from his horse and was in such pain that he was brought back to the jockeys room.

Harvard Hopes to
 Have Services of
 Big Hubby" Clark

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 17.---There was some real football practice on Soldiers Field yesterday. Coach Fisher picked four elevens from his squad of more than 100 men and set them at work on signals preparatory to the first scrimmage of the season now scheduled for Friday.
 Fisher made no attempt to get a combination of his likeliest players for the first string. but mixed old and new material indiscriminately. The work was all on plays and formations and it will take at least two more days before the first and second eleYens will be sent in against each other.
 Among the line men in the drill was Hubby Clark, who vas not expected to keep in the running because of a back injury. Clark is one of the for wards who has been banked on and if he keeps in the game Harvard's rush line problem will be helped a lot.

DUNCAN, REDS'
 OUTFIELDER, IS
 FIND OF SEASON

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 17.---Scarcely a month removed from the bush, Louis Baird Duncan is today the moGt talked of player on the roster of the Cincinnati Reds. Only 8 few short weeks ago this robust young person was buried in the semi obscurity of the Southern Association. Yet he is the regular left fielder Of a club which has major league pennant within its grasp and Rhinelaud fanatics are con- ftdently counting upon him to play a prominent, If not a decisive, part lu the coming worlds series. They re- gard him as the outfield find of the season and indications are that they are not far off in their reckonings.
 Throughout the greater part of the current campaign left field has been the one weak cog in an otherwise well balanced machine Sherry Magee, ex- Philly and former Boston Brave was first assigned to duty there, but soon contracted a serious illness and was out of the game for months. Rube Bressler a left-handcd pitcher, re- placed the ailing veteran and for a little while it seemed as though he would fill the bill. He soon petered out, however, and Cueto, a Cuban. was pressed into service. He failed
 
 ed with Bressler until Magee again was in condition to resume his accus- toned duties
 Moran meanwhile had sent his scouts abroad in search of a real left, handler. Gene McCann and other ivory hunters secured the country for weeks and saw many minor league picket men who could either hit or field, but only two looked a- thougb they would be of any immediate help to the Reds. One was Charley See, who was purchased from the Roches- ter club of the International League for S10,000, and the other was Louis Baird Duncan, for whom the Bir- rningham club of the Southern Asso- ciation was glad to accept a check for s5,0OO.
 See has led the International league in batting, but 1t soon became apparent that he was not yet of ma jor league CalibTe, and after a very brief trial was relegated to the bench. Magee was again called into act'cl, but he was still far from strong and Moran was finally compelled to give Duncan a chance.
 The youngster made good from the start. lie proved to be a fine fielder and fine and timely hitter, with a fascinating habit of making his wal lops count in the scoring Because of this peculiar talent he was recently promoted to the post of honor in the daily batting order and will continue to occupy this berth until Heinie Groh recovers from the injuries which have kept him on the side lines for the past couple of weeks.

Railroad
Work Progressing

JUNEAU, Alaska, Aug. 27-(By
MaiD-(Associated Press)-Colonel
Frederick Mears, recently appointed
chairman of the Alaska Engineering
Commission, is already in the north
hard at his task of completing the gov
eminent railroad between Seward and
Anchorage. Colonel Mears plans to
spend the coming winter in Anchor
age. the railroad headquarters town.
Governor Thos. Riga, Jr., who
served Colonel Mears On the commits
sion several years ago, recently made
a tour of inspection over the railroad
with the colonel. John w. Hallowell,
an assistant secretary of the depart
ment of interior, also made the trip.
Little work can be done this year
on the task OF connecting the interior

Mears believes. If Congress appro-
PIRATES a sufficient sum work will

On Border Is
Completely Ruined

OJINAGA, Mex, Sept. 12-(Associ-
ated Press)-Rearing their crumbling
walls along the skyline of the south
bank of the Rio Grande, the ruins of
Ojinaga, opposite Presidio, Texas,
tragically eXemplify the a
wrought in Mexico by eight years of
revolution.
The town, which has been frequent
~ mentioned in the news dispatches
,ecently, as the headquarters of Gen.
Antonio Pruneda, who was instructed
by his superiors to cooperate with the
American punitive expedition, has
been bombarded several times and
has been in the hands of many mast
ers.
Years ago it was a Furnishing lit
lie city, doing considerable business
with the American side.
Today it is a wreck. The custom
house, the walls of which are daily
decorated in colors of pathetic tawd-
riness, as if to conceal the underlying
jhabbiness of the structure; the an
eient church, which has escaped com-
p%aratively %scathless; the flat-roofed,
me story military headquarters; a
'ew dingy shops-these are the DINA
"a thas is. And scattered throughout
he town are the empty and cracked
shells of buildings that were.
Ojinaga's ruin is more nearly COM
plete than that of most other revolt
racked Chihuahua towns. Chihuahua
City, too, has been battered and buffet
ed by war, but it still wears at least
the semblance of some prosperity.
Juarez has gone through many an
ordeal Of fire and sword; yet it re-
tains a certain air OF hustle and
gaiety.
Not so with Ojinaga. Her own citi-
zens are quickest to admit the towns
utter desolation; but they are also
quick to add that when normal o n
ditions are restored, Presidio's twin
again will come into her own.
