Cincinnati. Sept. -

Cincinnati. Sept. 80.
"WE ARE confident but not ov"r- "
w confident. said Manager Pat
Moran. of tho National League cham
pions, when asked for an opinion on th"
outlook for his team in the coming world
series at has never been my habit to
make any predictions on events of this
kind even on single games Of ball. The
record Of the Reds, however. speaks
pretty well for itself.
"The boys won the pcnnant by de
cSively defeating the Giants. their
! nearest rivals, in the last three series
| between the two teams. They took the
! lead from the Giants on August ! and
never rcinQuished it. Two weeks later
| the Reds won four out of six from the
! Giants at the Polo Grounds, and finally
| they cinched the flag by taking two
! straight here n couple of weeks ago.
Best in Crisis
"All through the season il has been
tho record Of this club to play its best
! ball in the crisis. Nearly all Of the
poor games the team has played have
been against the second division clubs.
This spirit and this ability to rise to
the occasion in the pinches gives me
much confidence in our chances.
81 know that Kid Gleason is handling
a formidable club and one which will
give us Il hard battle. But the Reds
have never fallen down when called on
to exert themselves to the limit, and |
see no reason why they should do so at
the end of the season.
''Thc team is in excellent condition,
with the exception of Heinie Groh, who
has been greatly bothered with a
smashed finger. He has not played for
more than two weeks, but he thinks he
will be able to start the series.
Would BE Missed
1--WE would miss him if he should hurt
his finger again and have to be taken
out, but he has capable substitute in
young Schreiber, who has been playing
fine ball at third base.

MACK MAY BE SUED
Pitcher Hasty- Belongs to Mobile
Club, Saws Southern Asso. Man

President John D. Logan, of the
Mobile Club of the Southern Associa =
tion, announced today that he was
going to file suit against the Philadei
phia American League Club for using
Pitcher Keller Hasty in two games this
month.
Logan claims that Hasty is the
property of the club and is on their
reserve list of the Mobile roster. Hasty
figured in injunction proceedings filed
by the Atlanta Club, the Mobile club,
for possession of the player, and the
courts have not settled the case.
Logan says that he will sue Mack
for $40 900.

Williamson Trades School at Hill School.
Merton.
League Starts October 10
High school students are manifesting
the usual great interest in the annual
Ipterscholastic League championships.
Central High won the title last season
and this year possesses the Ellis A.
Gimbel Trophy. The other entrants
in this circuit all are getting fast teams
together and the Crimson and Gold
may expect no runaway race.
The clevens of Frankford High and

Central in Form
Coach DIR. Mathew G. O'Brien, of
Central High Schoor, has been taking
no chances for the opening mix sched-
uled on Friday against Catholic High
School, The Crimson and Gold eleven
is in swell shape; after rigid practice
spell last week when a lot of scrim-
maging was on the docket. This week
the eleven will hold signal practice
mostly.
A majority of the Central positions
IL h. los sk -nop'c
and the team, as a whole, will be one
of the heaviest among scholastic elevens.
In fact, with a 49, pound line and
172- pound backfield, the Crimson and
Gold grid gladiators will romp forth on
the chalked- off battlefield a lot bigger
than many college teams.

COLLEGES TO RACE IN AIR.

Plans are being discussed by the Aero Club of
Columbia University for tri-collegiate airplane
race next spring between Columbia, Harvard
and Yale, The proposed race is to be modelled
after the New York-to-T Toronto and Return con-
test AS suggested at the meeting, Columbia stu
dents would leave Mineoa and fly to the Harvard
stadium and return, and Harvard men would fly
the same course starting at Harvard. Yale men
would either fly from New Haven to Mineola and
back with handicap for difference in distance, or
fly from New Haven to Cambridge and thence
to Mineola
This announcement not only gives promise
of sport for American colleges but should
aid greatly in stimulating interest in aviation. In
the future the chief interest in intercollegiate ath
letics may center upon flying, as compared to boat
or foot races. The Columbia Aero club, of which
Major c. D. Larner, an American ace, is president
has full membership. The club has already won
one trophy through the successful work of E. L.
Smith in the intercollegiate race at Atlantic Citv
last June.

ENCOURAGEMENT FOR ALIENISM.

Along with the public approval given to the
national House of Representatives for its action
garding Victor l. Berger there is strong under
e1rrent of criticism 1t is fine to have Americanism
gzndicated in Congress by vote of 3O9 to one
but II is incomprehensible that the verdict should
have been delayed for ten months, during all of
which time Congress had access to the facts on
xsairh it's final action was based
The failure for so long to eject fellow-mem-
hxr who stood convicted of violating the espon-
aye act in time of war, and who was notorious for
hss ant-American utterances certainly had much
70 do with fostering the growth of dangerous radi-
isHhsm in the United States 1t encouraged the Reds
10 fhnk that they could ply their murderous prop
@ganda undisturbed. If congressman could get
assay with it. so could they. 1t was a natural mis-
Ruke. for which the country is now paying. 1t is
weA that Congress has turned seriously to max
ing amends for it's long vacaton.
Similar considerations apply to the people of
Milwaukee. They returned Berger to Congress
asatA full knowledge of his un-American combina-
fUa of radicalism and Germanism In 80 doing
aEhgy played into the hands of the organized forces
uf disorder and revolution with which the nation is
HOw graphing, and greatly encouraged their nefar-
.l0us work
Let Congress hereafter keep clean of alienisn,
and let communities in their public acts keep clean
"a It; then alienism will die a natural death.

What Other Editors Say
LET ELLA REST IN PEACE.

We knew all the time that sooner or later
controversy would arise between Editor George
Long, of The Telegraph, and Editor Charlie
Bayne of the Macon News. 1t has come Was it
over the League of Nations, or the Peace Treaty
or the menace of Bolshevism or the labor situation
or the high cost of living or Macon police fiasco
or the relative merits of Hoke Little Joe, Tom
Hardwick John Cooper? Nay, none of these
1t was over the merits of Mrs. Ella Wheeler Will
coxs poetry. George insisted that Elias writings
improved with years, and Charlie, while candidly
admitting that he hadn't read them recently, drug
dead cat across the trail that had been more or
less forgotten for several years Attentive readers
have added to their store of information but they
didn't progress far. Ella is dead and entitled to
rest, and those who liked her poetry will probably
so OH liking it. while those who didn't will pass it
up as before.-Cordee Sentinel

A travelling man reports a strange thing from
Baltimore. After spending a couple Of days in a
hOael there, he says when he received his bill he
nsticed that Is per cent had been deducted from
fhs total. He asked why, and was ,old that Is
Prz cent. cut in prices had been put in force the
tESt of November. and instead of reducing the
charges for all items of service and restaurant fare
the management was simplifying the thing by let
ting the old rates stand and discountng the total.
This could be done, the manager explained be-
