PAT DUNCAN IS A
 WONDER-|MORAN Cincinnati Manager Praises Former Baron for Work
 in Big Series
By J. l.. RAY.

Nashville, Tenn, october ii.-When Pat Duncan left the Barens not so many weeks ago and Afoley's men were cellar champion Vols in suIpher Dell, n wixencd individual in n corner box was heard to excIaim with a bit of sarcsism in his voice. "Aw, that guy won't last with them real ball players no longer than I would last in the ring with Jack Dempsey"
 The bystander took in the wise guy 5 remark with grain of salt He had seen Rat bust 'em far for many months, and he thought perhaps hes had an out side chance to hold on in utility role with the Red flush of Moran.
 On Tuesday of last week this same bystander occupied seat on the roof of the stands at Zealand field 1t was the third inning and the score was a blank. with Jakee Daubert c.l second and Eddie Roush on first. flghthander MT. Duncan followed left handed MT. Roush to the plate, and with con fident air set himself against the slants of diminutive Dickie Kerr. A crack tore the silence asunder, and 33.000 raving Rediand bugs arose en masse and cneefeu. Duncan Nad uOuDled 10 deep center and it looked like the series was over. as both runners came across.
 Again in the latter stages of the game Pat hit one which lap" Felsh spun around under like a whirling dervish and then slapped at, while the ball rolled to the fence Hap" barely tipped it with his glove and although the official scorers gave the Sox center fielder credit for an error, it looked like three bagger 10 every body else. It was Pat who time and again raced to the fence and Tagged drive after drive. and lac looked like a million dollars to the 2cdnen. Every little action on the paths, in the field and al bat bespoke of a big league ball player of the rarest wave. and Pat was pronounced by those who saw him in the series as one or the most sensa- tional finds in the big tent
 After the game the interested ob- server. strelled down and talked to Pat Moran along with writer for New

The ram began about half an hour be- fore the game was called. and continued throughout the 60 minutes of playing. Immediately after the kickoff it became evident that the Tigers were going to prove themselves better mud horses than the Howard players. In the first half Howard could make little headway against athe purple not first down be- ing registered. Only at the beginning of the third quarter did the Birmingham team show any ability to gain
 After getting the ball on a Sewanee Humble, Howard made the first down on three plays and the ball was in the Tigers territory for the first and only time during the contest. Howard was shortly forced to kick. and thereafter was never in the game, far as the poss- blity of scoring was concerned. As defensive team, Howard showed to much better advantage than in advancing the ball.
 At the end of the second quarter, the Sewanee team was held for downs on Towards 5-yard line, and again about the middle of the fourth quarter the ball went to Howard on her own 1-yard line, after Harper, the Purple captain, had returned a punt to Towards s 10-yard line, and a forward pass had netted g yards

York daily and syndicate feature scribe
 What do you think of this boy Dun can" the Zealand leader was asked.
 MORAN PLEASED
 The Red pilots face lighted up with a smile as broad as the bridge which spans the Ohio at Cincinnati and sep. arates the sahara desert from the land of plenty in Kentucky.
 "Hc's wonder,- said Pat as he
 buttoned firy re dsweater around
 sun-burned necS, and his eyes
 sparkjed. .'Pat Duncan has jOb
 on my hall team ns long as am
 the boss around here, and I'Il tell
 the world that he'll help make out
 the greatest Outfieid in the game
 before he leaves this club. He has
 all the essentials of star of the
 first water, and he's won a home
 in this mans town"
 Pats confidence in his new star may be gleaned from the fact that his name ke was used regularly in every game of the season, and he proved his worth a thousand fold. He declared that Magee was getting too old to hold the pace of the Rediand faction and that P. Duncan, former Birmingham Baron was q Cincinnati Red for keeps.
 Moran also broke piece of news. He intends making a pitcher out of Charley See. the youngster who preceded Dun can to the Redland pasture. Duncan was given a chance to show his wares over See because of his being right handed hitter. and he made good so rapidly that what little hopes MT See had entertained of landing regular berth went glimmering with the morn ing dew.
 With the series over and the Reds the logical Holder of the worlds da mond title, the onlooker only has one desire--to find that thin headed vet eran of Sulphur Dell who said Pat Duncan would never make good

 The teams fought furiously, with varying fortunes, through three 12- minute quarters. the score at the end of these quarters being. Auburn 6 and Fifth division IS. Tn the. fourth quar- ter, however three touchdowns quick ly made by Auburn turned the game into an Auburn victory.
 GORDON PROTESTS
 Both of the touchdowns were pro- tested by Gordon because of a tech nicat infringement of rules. The claim was made that non-players had tres- passed on the field during these plays, but the head linesman and referee de- cided foul or penalty This claim came >at particularly unfortunate time. heinz reserved for the plays whicE won Auburn brilliant victory when it might with equal force have been presented at any time during the progress of the game. There was no pretense whatever that a player had been interfered with. and the protest was made in spite of a previous agree ment that on account of inadequate roping of the field no claim on tech Eical grounds should be made
 Auburn made the first touchdown in the first seven minutes of play. She received the kick on her 10-yard line and by a series of end runs and off, tackle plays and one forward pass making the first down on an average of every two players, the Tigers soon drove the ball over.
