6I lIlS LOT HIS S6TNIC6S.
 Scout Gene McCann of the pennant- chasing Reds was in this city about month ago and watched Duncan's work in series with Little Rock. He was so impressed with the all-round ability of the husky Irishman that he wrote Pat Moran recommending him in the highest terms. Since that time Moran and Moley have been corresponding rel ative to the sale which was only complet- ed yesterday.
 Patricia" is certainly fortunate in be- ing bought by the Reds, for it means that he will share in the worlds series money provided Moran's fighting crew escapes with the gonfaon, as now seems most likely Whether Duncan will be used regularly is problematical but chances are that he will be given a chance to display his wares in the next day or two.
 See. star of the Pacific Coast league, and took Rube Bressler out of right field, so that he might get in shape to pitch Now that Duncan has been obtained, however, it'n be up to See to show that he is the better man of the two. At any rate. Dun can is certain to hang around Rockville for some time to come and local bugs will watch the accounts of National league games for news of Pats be havior.
 At the time of his departure for the Big tops, Pat was punishing the apple close to the .S2o mark, and fielding fin sensational fashion. His steady, consis tent hitting and energetic fielding even with a second division team has won praise from Dixie fans, who are confident that he will acquit himself well under Moran's dictatorship
 Incidentally if the Reds win the Ma tional league pennant Duncan will re- ceive about 5000 as his share of the world s series dough.
