REDLAND FIELD, CINCINNATI,
Chic, Oct. AFTER half century of
baseball famine, Cincinnati fandom
came into its own today when the
Reds crowned their sensational Ma.
tional league season by colliding with
Chicago's White Sox in the opening
game of the 1919 world series.
A blistering mid summer sun shone
down on field that was put into per-
feet playing condition by showers last
night Fleecy clouds spotted blue
sky-just the kind of overhead con.
ditions that ball players pray for. No
better weather conditions ever sent
joy to the heart of worlds series
crowd.
Soon after noon the right and left
field pavilions were packed with a
shirt sleeve mass OF Red followers.
The temporary seats in left field were
filling while the right field stands
We're packed to the aisles In right
field and left field two thousand fans
were damned shoulder to shoulder
standing on one another's feet.
The big stand and bleachers filed
slowly.
A brass band paraded the field
serenading the various stands.
The Red rooters, under the dlrec-
ton of the white-gloved bandmaster'
gave the assemblage a taste of singing
and "yells" that would have shamed a
six cylinder college football crowd.
The rooters joined the band in "Red
songs built for the occasion. Ihey
rocked the stands with the Fat
Moran March," the refrain of which
gave them an opportunity to roar to-
gether series of chips and hoo
rays" with repeated pat Moran's" on
the end.
After paying due respect to the Red
chief, Captain Heinie Groh and other
members of the crew were given IN
dividual vocal attention.
The Reds sauntered on the field at
1910. They were given crazy re-
ception by their followers. The little
band footed Hail to the chief" but
didn't have a chance. The white
gloves of the band leader continued

Louisiana Sugar Cane e
Acreage Reduced to
39,0O0Acres
Late Winter and Heavy Rains
Affect Sugar Cane
Planting

Heavy rainfall and prolonged cool
weather this spring have resulted ir
putting the planting, cultivation, and
growth of sugar cane about IS days
late. and there has been a heavy re-
duction in the acreage.
This is the declaration of John S
Dennee, field agentfor the United
States Bureau of Crop Estimates at
New Orleans. Mr.. Dennee has just
completed a survey of the situation
and summarizes the prospect in the
following words:
Reports from planters and my
own personal observations seem to
warrant the belief that there has
been very substantial cut in the
Louisiana cane acreage this year
about IS per cent, l should say. 145
planters report an aggregate of only
67,875 acres this year. Last year
these same planters reported a total
of 7.789 acres. An average reduction
of Is per cent distributed through
out the sugar district indicates only
264,OO0 acres for the grinding season
of 1920 In 1918 the area under
sugar cane was 10000 acres ire
visedD. The condition of the crop
on June is fixed at u per cent of
normal, due chiefly to the late
spring. Less than 50 per cent of the
1919 acreage is believed to be in

vest, and the remainder stubble

uous rains and late freezes during

but for the most part the seed cane

Furnishing a Libel
on the Lord

When Theodore Dresser ant
Franklin Booth toured from New
York to their old homes in Indian
to get material for the book, "A
Hoosies Holiday" they had for guide
and companion Booths chauffeur
an amiable individual known as
Speed. He looked like a street CAT
conductor in musical comedy; had
led the Lincoln Highway pathfinding
expedition part way across the con-
tinent; believed it was bad luck to
throw stones through church win
dows.
Speed liked to take automobiles
apart. especially when the other two
men happened to step into hotel
for few minutes; delighted in
strewing the insides of the car on
the sidewalk. Speed was a philos-
opher. country-born, true Hoosier
like Booth, henkailed from a village
in southern 1ndiana. Dresser was
born in Terre Haute.
Enroute, Speed told stories. some
of them printable. from a luxuriant
+ nd of small-town reminiscence.
One of the stories concerned a
preacher in the backwoods near his
cd home There were no rivers in
that sect on-rorc but small streams,
on which the ice was never more
than three inches thick.
The preacher journeyed to Evans
vile on holiday. and was taken
through an ice factory where arti-
ficial ice foot thick was being pro-
duced. He was amazed, and went
back home bubbling over with the
news. From the pulpit he exclaimed
upon the wonders of human ingenui-
ty, cited the ice-manufacturing scene.
Doubtful glances sped across the
faces of the congregation. After
church the members held an indig-
nation meeting.
81 dun't believe any such yarn"
declared a bent old farmer with tar
nished whiskers. "The Lord can't
make ice MORN three inches thick,
an he says men in Evansville can
make it a foot thick"
So they expelled the preacher from
the church for lying.-Cartoons Mag
