HeydIer Is Elated.

Anyway, National League men are
smiling more than they have in years.
John Heydler, president of the league, is
not claiming anything, but remarks. II
guess the old National League didn't
look so bad in those games!''
Every one is giving Pat Moran all
sorts of credit for his shrewd manage
ment in the two gaines won by Cincin-
natl He made a wise move in starting
with Ruether. when some of the sharps
said 1t would bN foolhardy to trust a
youngster with the opening assignment.
Then Moran used great judgment in
his attack especially his quick switches
from waiting game to hitting the first
ball. SO far he has played his cards
immensely and made every trick yield
its maximum amount. No wonder you
hear the magic words of pat Moran"
on every street corner. Pat is king out
here, and he deserves it.

The young outhelder misjudged the
ball bit, but Roush was right there to
recover the ball and make a throw which
robbed Weaver OF still an extra base.
Jackson came up determined to hit, but
Smiling Sallee famed the great one on
only three pitched balls. Sallee made a
balk-one of the very few such miscues
in the worlds series history, and Weaver
passed on to third base.

But Roush had started with the ball.
The outfelder seemed to rival the rifle

bated breath and Felsch raced around
the bags as If possessed Roush kept run

But Roush still was running.

William could not find the plate and
Groh also got a pass with Red on first

first big chance to give vent to its pent

roof off the grand stand
Here Roush made his first bid for the
limelight. He smashed a single to CEN

third base. 1t was momentous blow,
that one base smash of Roushs, for IT
was not only the first hit made off
Williams but accounted for the urst run
of the contest. The lid was off. Roush
and Groh tried to engineer a double

Remar kable Fielding.

Roush's remarkable defensive play
the greatest Bit Of fielding seen in the
two games here and one of the classics
of the world series OF all time, was the
eliminating feature of the first half of
the sixth inning. Ii was 4 play such as
great flelders have dreamed of making
in such critical circumstances-a bit of
baseball which went further to empha-
size to some doubling American League
partisans the fact that the Cincinnati
club has an outfielder of the Iris Speaker
stamp.
The sixth opened wildly. The White
SoX had been nibbling at Sallee's shoots
and some of the Red fans felt that they
were sitting on a volcano, for there was
an ever present threat of a general up
rising by the Chicagos. Eddie Collins,
who has been failure with the bat in
this series. lined out to Kopf to open
the inning. Weaver doubled to left. He
swung at the first pitch and sent the
pellet far over Duncan's head
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-03

AS the ball was coming down, appar-
emily beyond his reach, Roush leaped high
in the air and just did manage to catch
it on his finger tips. Again pandemo-
mum reigned, as the White Sox, dis
consulate. calling fortune all sorts of
names for the tricks which she was play
Ing on them, went back to their posi-
tons in the field and Roush. out of
breath, meandered to the bench
IT was Roush's turn to open the Gin
cinnati sixth and when he walked to
the plate the fans reused themselves
10 their highest point of enthusiasm.
New York fans may view their Cincin-
natl brethren as Hicks" but when It
comes TO giving vent to their feelings the
Redland tribe certainly yield the palm
to no other body of enthusiasts. They
know how to cheer-and the women
know as well as the men.
1t was the lucky seventh n which
the White Sox made the runs which pre-
vented them being whitewashed. And
like the run which they made yester-
day the brace of tallies was not alto
gether without faint. Gandil, who had
been hitting in hard luck falling with
men on bases, was thrown out by
Daubert.
Risberg singled to left Schalk
doubled into the crowd in right field.
scoring Risberg. The catcher tailed
himself when Neales throw went wrong.
Things began to look a trihe too hot
for Sallee and Moran ordered Ring TO
warm up. But Ring was not needed.
Williams famed and John Collins flied
out to Roush, ending the rally.

sox May DO Better at Home.

The White Sox may pull themselves
together on their own field and before
a friendly crowd. They were tough
birds to beat at Comiskey Park this
year and they likely will get a few
games. Yet two victories have given
the Reds all the confidence they needed,
and two victories, confidence and five
pitchers are quite an asset at this
stage of the series.
The SoX looked dazed to-day after
Kopf hit his triple with two men on,
practically sewing up the game. Chi
cago players reminded one greatly of the
Athletics of 1914 after the Braves had
scalped them twice. They were amazed
that such. n thing could happen to them.
The Braves had beaten Bender and
Plank, the crack Athletic highlander
and lefthander. The Mackmen tried to
whistle for courage, but they seemed TO
realize the Jig was up.
SO it was with the Sox to-day. Their
attitude seemed to be, Can such things
happen to the SoX, whom everybody
picked to win in a walk"

bingIes made by the entire Cincinnati
club.
The Reds will use Eller or Fisher to-
morrow to open their campaign in Chi
cago. Kit Gleason has no one left but
Dickie Kerr. his midget iefthander.
However, lefthanded pitchers are likely
to give the Reds more trouble than a
Highlander. Moran has quite bunch
of lefthanded hitters in his lineup. Rath,
Daubert, Roush. Kopf, Neale and Wingo.
Kerr is only youngster putting in
his first year in the fast set. But he
has been coming very fast and In the
last three months was rated with the
best leftaanders in the game. He shut
out the hard hitting Yankee crew the
last time that the White SoX p'ayed in
New York this season.
There Is no denying that G. ison is
pretty much up in a tree. He has used
up his two big aces, Cicotte and Will
Jams, and lost both times. Moran. on
the other hand, has three pitchers in
Ellcr, Fisher and Ring, who are as good
as the two lefthanders that Pat already
has put on exhibition in the series And
they gave some exhibition
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-10-03

Williams still was having trouble with
his control and Duncan waited long
enough to get a pass With men on
first and third and runs very much
needed to protect Sallee, who was not
going along any too strong, Kopf came
on deck. He swung his stick carelessly
and waited not to examine what-WlI!-
Jams had to offer.
The first pitch was low ball and
Kopf caught II on the tip of his bludgeon
and sent 1t sailing far out to centre
field. scoring both Groh and Duncan
and converting Redland Field into a
combination of bedlam, Broadway on
New Years Eve, footing on the morning
of the Derby at EPSON and the Harvard
Stadium after a football victory over
Yale.
Good old pandemonium, so often re-
ferred to, was let loose with all sorts
of after war trimmings, but good old
pandemonium 1t was nevertheless And
how Redland shrieked. Two hits. one a
triple, had been made off Williams his
control was off color and three runs had
been scored, but still Gleasons faith IN
Williams remained mistaken. Possibly
he was counting on a collapse of Saliee
and perhaps he was determined to con-
serve his limited pitching resources
Williams steadied himself a bit after
| that wrecking blow and Neale was
thrown out by Eddie Collins, ending the
| inning. But Chicago's fate had been
sealed. Neale did not wait long to get
even for his failure to continue the on
| slaught in the fourth inning
In the sixth round he delivered blow
| which accounted for the fourth Cincin-
natl run. Williams, as usual. started the
trouble for himself by passing the first
man, Roush Duncan did the orthodox
and sacrificed him along. Kopf made a
| mighty swing, but the best he could do
was to foul out to Weaver Neale then
| delivered single to left, which scored
| Roush.
| While Rariden was at bat Neale was
| out stealing A this juncture an aero

War Was Cheap if You
 Believe Money Experts

It cost MT. American Citizen just thirty-three and one half cents day to wage the war.
 This is what the statisticians of the Treasury Department at Washington figure the cost of the war to be for each man, woman and child in the United States. and from that they deduct that the individual in this coun try had an easy time of it in financing this country's part in the great world struggle.
 As nearly as can be estimated the total cost of the war in money to the American people from the declaration of hostilities April s. 1917, until the signing of the armistice November Il, 1918, amounted to twenty-six billion dollars The Census Bureau on Janu ary l. 1919. set the population of the United States at approximately 04.000,000 people. From April 6. 1917. until November Il, 1919, $40 days. ! The Treasury experts made two simple divisions and found America paid thirty-three and one half cents per capita per day for the war.
 The twenty six billion dollars used in the estimate of the cost of the war
 included the amount to be raised by the Victory Loan. This final loan it was pointed out by the government
 officials will go in large part to paying for supplies ordered for the army before the cessation of hostilities and for the expense of demobihzing our
 wartime military forces, both of which
 must be counted as war expenses.

 This new undertaking will open up communication between the valley of the great Spanish River Ebro and the French Midi and part of Central France. At the French terminus the line through the tunnel will connect with the railway of the Ariege Valley from AK to Toulouse. A station upon this line Is Tarascon. the home of Al phonse Daudet's delightful Tartarin. As a tributary of the Garonne, the Ariege gives access to the valley of that river at the head of whose sea- like estuary stands the great port of Bordeaux.
 Perhaps since ''there are no more PSrenees." We may. be able to add "there are no more Dover Straits, :" and Londoners may take the train at Charing Cross and roll into the valley of the Spanish Bbro without change of cars.-Boston Herald.
