Pennsylvania supplies the greatest number of men to the probable cham pion Cincinnati combination, five os the Relentless Reds having been born within the confines of the Keystone state. The quintet consists of Jake Daubcrt. Sherwood Magee and Ray mond Bressler. frst-string men; Eddie Gerner and Jimmy smith, second strongers Daubcrt was born in Jlewollyn, Magee in Clarendon, Bress- Ter fin Broollvillo, Gerner in Phila- delphia and Smith in Pittsburgh. Among tho Pcnnsylvanians are the two oldest members of the squad commanded by Fat Moran, Magco having been 35 this month and Dau- bert having celebrated his 34th birth day in May,
 Until Garry Hermann purchased Charley Sec from Arthur Trwin's Bo- chester IutcruattourIs, Eddie Gcrner was tbe kid member of the Reds, the southpaw from the Quaker city hay ing reached his 22d milcstone on July 22,
 With the coming of the Astoria, l.. l. pitcher -pummclcr, however, Gerner had to step into the background as the junior Terrmannite. Chad" Sec is not slated to become 22 until Oc- tobcr 1S next.
 Irwin, who developed See, was among thosc present at the crucial se- ries between the Reds and Giants in Gotham this month, and he told friends that tho Rochosters were $2S, 900 ahead on the season thus far, about a third Of this amount being due to the purchase of See by Gin cinnati
 Sec, though he was born on an un- lucky date, was a lucky discovery for Irwin. who first lamped him when he was playing on the Morse Shipyard team there, Charles, the CIouter, cost nothing and as a matter of fact, Ro- chester hasn't put out a niclSle for talent this season.
 Of the Y other Reds, three were born in New York, three in Indiana, two in ohio, two in Texas, one ir GeorEia, ono in Connecticut, one in Vermont, one in West Virginia, one in Kansas, ono in California and one in Cuba.
