What Leaders Say.
CINCINNATI, o., Oct, I.-What
the leaders say:
Kid Gleason, manager Of the White
Sox-"I am confident we will win
the first game and we will take the
series in less than nine games. The
Sox are a game club and they can
play ball. They will win"
Pat Moran, manager of the Reds
"A majority of the experts say we
will lose. Baseball seldom follows
form and figures. have a team
that may surprise some Of the wise
one, but they won't surprise me. The
Reds will win"
Eddie Collins. captain of the White
Sox-"We have regular ball club.
The boys are full of confidence. 1t
will be hard to beat us, and feel
sure we are going through on top"
Heinie Groh, captain Of the Reds

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 1-"Per

believe the close figuring and head
work that go to make up percent

worlds baseball title for Pat Moran's
Reds.
Moran probably will pitch Ruether
in today's game. If he does, he will
open UP big percentage" possibili-
ties.
Moran is adding strong hitter to
his offense. This is especially true
of Cicotte or another right-hander
for the Sox.
Second, with Ruether in the box,
John Collins will be in right field for
Chicago, and Liebold, more dam
gerous man on offense and defense,
will be removed from consideration.
Third, with Ruether, southpaw.
in the box, the batting efficiency of
Eddie Collins and Jackson, whose
clubs carry most danger to the Reds,
will be greatly reduced. These ele-
ments, which may seem small in
themselves, when regarded as a
whole, are sure to prove mighty big
factors in a nine-game series. They

series it is very possible that the
margin between victory and defeat
will be the margin the percentage

Moran figured on using Ruether IN
the opener because he regarded HIM
as the man most likely to turn back

game will give the Reds big adyan-

victory in a world series gone to a
