CINCY REDS ARE ON EVE OF WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP
Kid Gleason
Says He's Sick At
Heart OUer SOr

CHICAGO. oct Manager
kid" Gleason. NJ the White SoN,
before leaving for Cincinnati last
night, where tho sixth game OF the
worlds series is TO he played to-
day with the Reds, said he was
sick at heart" over the way his
men had played the game.
II don't know what's the mat
ter. said Gleason, but do know
that something is wrong with my
team. The team | had fighting in
August or the pennaut would have
trimmed the Reds without n strugN
gle. Phe bunch have now couldn't
beat high school team. We hit
something over $50 for the season
In the American league pennant
race. Now that's the best hitting
any ball club ever did in the history
Of baseball The way those $50
hitters acted against Eller, they
couldn't make place ON high
school team.
Il am convinced that I have the
best ball club that ever was put to-
gether. certainly have been dis
appointed in II in this series 1t
hasn't played baseball in single
game, There Is only u bare chance
they can win now.
You know II doesn't seem pos
sible that this team that worked so
great for me all summer could fall
down like this. tell you I am ali
solutely sick at heart, thought all
of them were my boys, | felt like
school teacher might feel toward his
pupils | loved those boys for the
way they fought for me this sum

SPEAKING OF FAKES

law, it's all a grand fake--one Of
the greatest farces In the world" Growls
wise fan in commenting upon the
series.
Sure It is-just like Wilson faxed the
Huns with only thousand unframed
soldiers and a few leaking boats.
Nevertheless 1t Is not an uncommon
thing to hear wise turkey crack so
enlightening a remark.
Once in while a bug or so is
fooled, but trimming 10000 daily is no
soft assignment
Who could say that Cicotte tossed
into right field with malicious intent
and later fumbled at the plate? This
was the only chance the Reds had to
score against his fine work OF Satur-
day, for instance. But why continue?
The idea that the big series Is nothing
short OF huge fiasco Is joke,
If the series isn't on the square Jack
Dempsey never touched Jess willard
and Nap Lajoie never got double in
his life,
That dreaded Sox attack reminds one
of the timid kid that is seen but never
heard.
1t used to be that batting was not to
be denied. But with this overwhelming
supply Of amazing pitching the denial is
daily
Back in the days of the mauling
Mackmen, Giant hurlers turned away
from Collins, only to find Baker and
McInnis waiting This post season
championship finds Collins ct al get
ting rid OF Reuther only to run head ION
into Sallee, Ring and l3ler, primed and
poised. The distressing result was that
the budding batting rally was choked
off in its infancy before 1t faced a
chance to sprout
At any rate the series to date has
resulted In the decisive overthrow of
the dope. No one had picked the Reds
to accomplish so startling a victory nor
to exhibit so compelling pitching
front.
Those who bet on the Sox and are
dividing the daily "winnings(D" with
friend wife are more to be pitied than
scorned Nevertheless the situation gov
erns a number Of happy homes
II was not surprised when Hod Eller
turned the Sox inside out" began a real
fan Monday shortly after the csstoff
had completely wrecked Chicago hopes
"Eller has been remarkable pitcher
the entire season and has shown plenty
Of stuff at all times. l rank him with
the best in the league" Very well.
Pat Moran has proved beyond an ar
gument that his victory in the National
league was by no means a fluke. The
Reds not only held back the Giants at
every threatened charge, but they dis
played fine batting, keen fielding and
amazing pitching from the start.

Pitiful Break of Great Club.

1t was, a pitiful break on the part Of
a great ball club, ball club that had
expected to win easily and had sud
denly found itself not only outclassed,
but completely shut away from the
plate with one run only earned since the
series began six days ago. They knew
at last about how Jess Willard felt
when he stepped into something and
sat down heavily, wondering what out
slider had welded the gas pipe with such
telling effect
Claude williams pitched well enough
to win an ordinary game, He allowed
but four hits and one earned run, but
he was not moving quite fast enough
to keep pace with the terrific speed that
Eller decided to use. The Sox south
paw has enjoyed the distinguished priv.
ilege of permitting eight hits in two
games and losing them both by decisive
margins.
With one more victory needed it is
now merely question of whether the
Reds will wind up the series with Dutch
Reuther on Tuesday or extend the
agony to Wednesday afternoon. They
have their dazed foe feeding from, the
soup trough where only one of those
things will ever yank them back into
the fight. The Sox' last hope will be
little Dick Kerr, the sole Sox pitcher
to work a winner where Cicotte and
Williams have each caved in twice. But
Kerr has the SluRSng Reutner 10 stop
today and even if he succeeds in put
ting the job across it will merely fend
off the final result. For the Sox can't
get by the Red guard on the mound,
Their greatest claim to fame was their
ability to kill all brands of pitching,
but here at last they have suddenly
bumped into a staff that has their
goats bleatng on the off trail far from
the cabin fires of home They have
been shut out twice and they should
have been shut out twice more.
As for the Reds, they have proven
their greatness and their gameness be-
yond any question and have shown the
astonished multitude the best five-man
pitching staff that tied a husky foe into
innume cradle knots. The bridge formed
from Reuther to Eller has carried them
safely in sight of the championship
height. One more stride and the sec
ond Red miracle of the year will be
ready for the records Of all time.

DOPE

Another matter worthy Of comment
concerns the strange flip taken by the
elastic dope. Dope, as you know, is
based on what should happen rather
than on what will actually transpire.
1t was clearly visible to the naked
idea for instance that Collins. jackson
and Felsch would tear into Red pitch
ers with ringing attack But amid the
somersault of figures the Red defense
politely stood the sox guard on its CORY
ear.
Collins was suppressed early and
Felsch was kept in check leaving
Jackson alone to carry on the song,
a tribe difficult, not to say totally i'm
possible
The inference Is that dope Is worth
little more than the paper It Is written
upon when once the battle Is under
way.

Herman Fears Pal.

II Is believed in New Orleans that
Lynch has a better chance to get the
bout than Moore for the very excellent
reason that Herman had rather meet
Lynch than Moore, and win agree to en-
ter the ring with the New York boy ut
"A lower figure than he will agree to go
up against the Memphis flash There s
no masQueradng the fact that Herman
fears Moore, for Pal has licked Peter
several times already, and Herman real

chance emerging with his title intact
after n 20-round brush with Moore. So
very naturally and very humanity, Pete
is going to get all the money possible
when DE agrees TO enter tho squared
battle ground with Moore So all Of
these circumstances mitigate against
Pal getting the first crack at Herman's
crown.

against Herman. when he was in Mem
phls recently he said that he was sure
that he would be able to trim the New
Orleans bRnty within nm inch of his
lifo and That his managers would leave
no stone unturned in their efforts to
secure the match with the champion,
Money Is no object and Moore viii not

Moore s now In Chicago awaiting
the outcome OF the conferences be-

Goldman, Herman's manager. IL was
at first believed that an elimination
bout would be staged between Moore

two crack bantes would be entitled to
the championship match with Herman,
