CINCINNATI, Aug. 9.-Gene Pack
ard. Phillie slabman, let something
slip in the first round of the opening
contest here Friday, and the Reds won
the contest, 4 to 2.
Packard passed the first two men in
the first inning, and Groh, Rousch.
Neale and kopf are entirely too dan
Serous to take any chances with.
When Packard left the mound in the
opening round, the score was to 0.
Walter Ruether pitched for the lead
ers in the first eight innings, and in
spite of six walks handed to the Phil
les, when he left the mound the score
was in the Reds favor. Jimmie Ring
finished the last two innings with good
results
Nehf Loses for Giants.
While the Reds we're winning their
contest on the home lot, Artie Nehf,
late Of Boston, lost his initial contest
as a member of Protest Johns Giant
outfit, the Cubs taking McGraw's men
to the tune Of to 0.
The Reds are now three and a half
games ahead of the Giants, and have
five less games to play, making their
chances for the pennant far brighter
than any other team in the league.
All that will be necessary for the Reds
to win, is for them to keep pace with
the Giants, and at the present rate Of
travel used by lawns gang, this does
not appear to be a very hard task.
Officials Of the Cincinnati club have
declined to make any rash promises
on the outcome of the team this sea
son. President Hermann made a
public statement Friday in which he
refused to accept any reservations for
the worlds series.
The Reds are in the race. but are
not cure Of victory. according to
Hermann, and until the leadership of
the league is cIinched, no seats will
be reserved for the series.
Other teams have made reservations
while in the same position as The Reds
In former years, and they felt very
foolish when some one beat them to
the pennart, but Garry is not taking
any such chances.

steadily falling recently in neutral
countries surrounding Germany reach
ed their lowest point in history in
Switzerland yesterday, being at 80 cen
times instead of the peace price of
125 centimes. German financial ex-
perts, especially those opposing the
plans of Matthias Erzberger. minister
of finance. explain that this deprecia-
ton is due to the proposal to stamp
all bank notes and to eliminate the
regulation of foreign bills of exchange.
They admit, however. that strikes and
unrest in Germany are partially re-
sponsible.
