his opinion. 1t isn't. These galloping
Reds make some ball club. A far
tougher combination than the Sox have

Cincinnati, Ohio. Sept. 3.-An en-
tbIsiasm stored up in the fifty years
that Cincinnati had dwelt in baseball
darkness. hoping and wishing for
championship team. has burst forth
in wild jubilation. The sheer Joy of
. championship and the winning
spirit envelops Cincinnati Not a fan
believes the Reds can lose.
They point to the performance Of
the Moranites in the pennant drive
as an indication Of steam will rise
in the Red machine over the White
Sox in seven games. They have super
confidence in the ability of Heinie
Groh and Company. but they have not
allowed their enthusiasm to blind
them to the barrier that stands in
their way in the shape Of Eddie
Cicotte and Claude Williams, the ACE
pair" Of Chicago hurlers.
They concede a victory to each of
the star Gleason moundsmen but be-
ieve that they cannot repeat and
that the honors will go to their idols
In seven games.
Red Fans Want Odds.
Betting here has been very light.
Fans from the Windy City. who came
on ahead Of the American Leaguers
with large rolls to place on their
favorites, found their offers of 6 to S
going begging. The Red hackers want
a better price.
1t was the belief that offers Of to 5
or to would be made before the
start OF the series. Red hackers In
refusing shorts odds refer the Chicago
hackers to the assertion made by Kid
Gleason that his White Sox should be
a 2-to-1 favorite for the series.
Added stands on Redland field have
increased the capacity of the park to
5000, including the provision Of stand
ing room for several thousand A
