Tho separatist spirit among the
Bavarians continued to increase. The
effect of this movement. which the
Bavarian government silently allow

Eby had accepted a position with a

The addition of Eby to the Penn track
team will undoubtedly make Lawson

honors in the Eastern intercollegiate

In addition to Eby, Sherman Landers,
another athlete, has returned to Penn

REDS PLAY TO MILLION.

1t Is estimated that the Cincinnati
Reds played to more than a million fans
during the championship series, thus
shattering the attendance record for
major league ball clubs. The total at
tendance at their home games vas
greater than thai at the games they
played on the road, yet they helped
draw two crowds OF 10000 each at the
Polo grounds during the great series
played at New York in August, An
other big crowd that turned out to see
them in hostile territory packed the
T'hillies park one day late In August,
when the potential champions were on
their last Eastern trip.
The records prove that the Giants
were easily the best drawing card at
Redland field this summer, as they
usually are everywhere. The largest
crowd ever drawn by the Reds at home
saw Moran's men and the Giants play
on Sunday, Aug. 8. The paid attend
ance that day was 80. 121.

Charley Moran is a native of Horse

then handled the Athletic club of Dali

Coaching didn't exactly satisfy "Uncle
Charley" though, for he is a natural
fighter, having the spirit Of eompeti-
ton developed to the nth degree, and
he longed to get back into the battle
himself. So he went up to Massillon,
O., and joined the professional team up
there. That's Moran all over. He
loves a good, clean scrap and was never
known to give UP, even though the odds
were against him from the start.

It caused very little surprise in base
