AUTO ACCIDENT
STOPS RING SHOW
Manager Frank w. Bear, of
Allentown, on Way to Steel
ton, Meets With Mishap

Manager Joe Barrett did not have
show at Steelton last night. 1t
was not his fault, and because of
the calling off of the big program
Barrett is out of pocket 5000. Those
who had purchased tickets found
the doors of the Olympia A. C..
closed. They went to the place the
tickets were purchased and received
their money back.
A sentry posted at the clubhouse
announced that on his way to this
city in an auto, with several of the
boys on the program, and others,
Manager Frank w. Bear, of Allen
town, had met with an accident. A
truck hit the Bear auto three miles
out of Reading. Manager Bear got
to a telephone as soon as possible
and called Steelton telling of his ac-
cident.
Bear Is Criticised
Accidents will happen, but why
Manager Bear selects an automobile

was a big disappointment to local
supporters. Manager Barrett did

Gettysburg Eleven to Meet
Penn State College Team

Gettysburg, Oct. 2. - The Gettys-
burg College football squad leaves
tomorrow for the opening game of
the season at State College. Judging
from the work of the team at the
present time there is no indication
that it will accomplish exceptional
feats against the Blue and White.
For two weeks Head Coach Wood
and Backfeld Coach Leathers have
been striving to whip their material
in shape but the time has been in
sufficient to weld together good
combination and local fans are
looking forward to State winning by
a comfortable score.
Although the Gettysburg squad is
green and may not show up we'll
so soon in the season the student
body is looking forward to them to
fight from start to finish and expect
that spirit to keep State from gain
ing at will.
LaRue, the big tackle, continues to
show up we'll and the line may be
strengthened in the near future by
the addition of Nelson Fisher, a
Varsity guard before the war who
has just entered college.
This afternoons practice was fea-
tured by the line plunging of Adam
Houtz and a wide end run by Davis.
Phillips scored the only touchdown
of the day.

BY Assoeiated Press.

Cincinnati, Oct. Eddie Cicotte,
The master pitcher of the American
League who was driven out of the
opening game of the worlds series
yesterday under n broadside OF hits,
to-day expressed confidence in his
ability to come back at the Reds
whenever called upon by Manager
Gleason.
Cicotte, with nearly thirty VIC
tories to his credit this season, is
carrying the hopes of Chicago fans
on his shoulders and they have every
confidence that he will pitch the SoX
to victory in two and possibly three
of the remaining games. The mas
ter of the shine and 'knuckle' ball
declared to-day that he was COM
pletely unnerved when he hit Rath,
the first man up in the game yes
terday and lost all control of the
ball in the fourth inning.
Went to Pieces
1T is hard to explain" Cicotte
said. "but l was in no condition to
pitch the game that 1 had expected.
l felt perfectly confident before the
game started and appeared to have
everything when 1 was warming
up, but when I hit Rath, it seemed
TO have a strange effect on me. I
felt so badly about it that / trotted
with him along the first base line to
see If the ball had hurt him. When
Rath assured me that he was all
right ] went back to the pitching
mound, but 1 did not seem to be
right" Supporters of the White Sox
believe that Manager Gleason will
send Ctcotte in to oppose the Reds

Reuther's Pitching Was
Full of Real Puzzlers

Cincinnati, o., Oct. 2. - Tabula-
ton of the pitching record of yes
terday's game shows that Reuther,
winning Cincinnati pitcher, pitched
Fl strikes and 20 balls, while the
three White SoX pitchers - Cicotte,
Wilkinson and Loudermilk sent
over 21 strikes and 46 balls. The
record shows that Chicago batters
found Reuther's pitching thirty-eight
times, mostly for high flies and fouls.
The hard-hitting Reds connected
with AZ balls pitched by the three
White SoX hurlers, IA of them for
safe hits. Twenty-one flies and
seventeen grounders were hit off
Reuther, while 16 flies and 90
grounders were knocked from balls
pitched by Cicotte, Wilkinson and
Loudermilk.
A grand total of 1877 balls were
pitched during to-day's game, IS
by Reuther in nine innings and 100
by Chicago pitchers in eight in
nings.
The record for fewest balls pitched
in any one inning went to Reuther,
who in the seventh inning tossed
only four times. One of these was
ball, two were high flies out and
one was a grounder on which the
batter was thrown out.

in the game scheduled in Chicago
Friday or Saturday.
Cincinnati Celebrates
Clarence Rowland, who piloted
the White Sox to a worlds cham
pionship, is convinced that Cicotte
will come back and beat the Reds
before the series ends. He watched
the defeat of the White SoX yester-
day and seemed to feel the loss of
the game as keenly as Manager
Gleason. Rowland was succeeded
by Gleason as manager af the Sox
this season.
Cincinnati fans celebrated the
first victory of the Reds in n riotous
manner. 1mpromtu parades were
staged in downtown streets, and ho-
tel lobbies. A little German band
furnished the music for one parade,
while a Scotch bagpipe band headed
another procession. The celebrations
continued until long after midnight.
Fred Nit tchell, manager of the.
witnessed the victory of the Reds
yesterday, said he never saw Reu-
ther pitch a better game.
Grover Cleveland Loudermilk, the
elongated pitcher of the Chicago
White SoX, had q narrow escape
from missing the first game. He
sent his suit out to be pressed but
the garments failed to come back.
The big pitcher waited in his hotel
room and was on the verge of send
ing for his playing togs when the
clothes arrived. Loudermilk is so
tall that he was unable to get
ready-to-wear suit in the city that
would fit him.

Betting Shows Change on
Final Result Worlds Series

Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 2. - After
ruling 8 to and Z to 5 favorites
before the start of yesterdays game,
the White SoX were no better than
even money in the betting on the
worlds series here tonight. Sew
eral wagers, ranging from $500 to
S2,500, were made on to-days con-
test. Previous to the opening game,
odds were given that the White SoX
would win the series.
Scalpers reaped a rich harvest
selling tickets for the opening con-
test, but an hour before the game
was called the spectators slashed
their prices and were apparently
anxious to dispose of their tickets
at face value. Box seats for three
games, costing $3.50 were snapped
up at prices ranging from $40 to
$50 early in the day. One visitor
paid S125 for three $3.50 seats for
to-day's game.
Persons having seats to sell cir
culated among the baseball crowds
thronging the hotel corridors, ped
ding their wares. The spectators
also were busy on street corners and
other places where baseball crowds
gathered.
Federal authorities made one ar
rest and held one witness in connec-
ton with the ticket selling. Under
the law, spectators selling tickets
for more than face value are obliged
to pay Federal war tax of fifty per
cent. of the amount received.
Revenue agents were stationed in
hotel lobbies to watch for violations
and a score of suspected scalpers
were questioned.

tie With Reds

Cincinnati, Oct. 2.-Claude Lefty"
williams, rated as one of the best
left-handers in the American
League this season. probably will be
Manager kid" Gleason's pitching
selection to stop the batting drive
of the Reds in the second game of
the worlds series to-day.
While Pat" Moran, the leader of
the Reds, did notscare to make any
official announcement concerning his
mound choice, it was generally ac-
cepted that either "Slim" Sallee or
"Hod" Eller would oppose the White
Sox to-day.
I'VE got away to n flying start"
said Manager Moran last night,
beating Cicotte, Gleason's best bet,
and it makes no difference to my
men what pitcher Gleason starts to-
day. They said before the series
that the Reds couldn't hit. Fourteen
hits tells the story. The same bat
ting drive will carry them through
to victory.
Confidence With Victory
The Reds entered the series a
'cocky' lot of players and this vic
tory has given them a lot more con-
fidence. Reuther deserved a shutout
and the Chicago players will find it
just as hard to hit our other pitch
ers. Reuther deserved great credit
for the victory, He was cool at all
times. His batting was a surprise
to me-"
I'VE will even up the series to-
day." said Manager Gleason, of the
White SoX when Cicotte hit Rath
in the first inning he was not him
self thereafter. 1 could have taken
him out then, but 1 trusted that
luck would enable Eddie to regain
his control. 1 intend to start Will
liams to-day and have every conf
dence that there will be different
tale to tell.
"Reuther had n world of stuff
yesterday and pitched a really re-
markabIe game. He should have
all the credit for the victory. His
batting stamps him as a Second
Babe" Ruth.
Yesterdays defeat has not dis
heartened my players. 1 am sure
the defeat will act as an incentive
| to win to-day"

Baseball Fans Hilarious
at Worlds Series Game;
Watched Every Play Made

They go bug" at a baseball
game and they go bug" at a base
ball board. Anyone who saw the
opening game of the worlds series
as reproduced on the Ritter Electric
Player Board at the Chestnut Street
Auditorium yesterday afternoon had
just as many sensations and thrills
as if they were at the big show on
the Reds field.
When the Reds started their bat
ting spree. the crowd was all Gin
cinnati, although there was no small
army of Chicago adherents who
stood for their favorites until the
last minute and still declare that
the White Sox will turn the tables.
Cries of Hit her out Reuther,"
wait on it Heine" and "Oh you
Daubert" rang through the hall dur
ing the afternoon and when Dutch
Reuther pounded out his second
triple the great throng went wild.
Anyone on the outside would have
imagined that a real ball park was
close at hand.
30 compete is the ftltter DOarQ
that every possible play of the game
is shown. 1t was a great sight to
watch the Cincinnati players run
ming the bases in that eventful
fourth inning when five runs were
registered. Mr.. Ritter has made
arrangements to reproduce every
game of the great series at Chest
nut street hall and the baseball fans
will make it a mecca during the re-
mainder of the series. A wire run
ming direct to the playing fields in
Cincinnati and Chicago affords in
stantaneous service and the play is
reproduced on the board just a few
minutes after it has actually occur
red on the playing field. The games
start here at o'clock.
