GIANTS AND REDS
IN OPENING. CLASH
AT CINCY TODAY

Baseball fandom has centered its
interest on the outcome of the games
between the New York Giants, first
placers. and Cincinnati Reds, runners
up in the National league pennant
race which commenced Wednesday at
Redland field.
Pat Moran's bunch of hefties are
going good but will have to show some
first class ball to puncture the Giants
first place lead. The Giants are lead
ing the Reds by Just three games and
II the Reds can duplicate their success
over Brooklyn the Giants will leave
Redville just one game behind the
Reds. 1t will take exactly four spank
ings before the Reds can claim the
edge. Three victories in the first three
games will not even tie the two clubs
as New York has played four less
games than the Reds.
The Giants have commenced to slip
trifie and do not look as good as
| they did in May and even though RUDE
Bressler, a pitcher, is playing left field,
the Reds have never looked better.
The way Pats crowd OF baseball hust-
lers walked through Brooklyn's alleged
inyincible battery was a shame for
the eastern club. In the next four
days the outcome will decide whether
| the western club or the eastern club
shall lead the league.

OLIGER BUYS A BIRD
Peacock Will Adorn Quarters OF
Chamber of Commerce.

A week or more ago, when the Gage
park peacock arrived in the office of
Commissioner McGiffert, the commits
sioner was greatly surprised. Altho
it was beautiful almost beyond de-
scription he was not expecting that it
would take up so much room. With
its ten foot span of tail feather it COW
cred up most of one wall of one of the
office rooms. To preserve the mag
nificent bird it would have been neces-
sary to purchase an immense glass
case and then there would still be the
question of what to do with it.
The question was settled Monday
when A. L. Oliger, secretary of the
Chamber of Commerce, purchased the
bird. Until the fall fashion show il
will adorn the Chamber of Commerce.
Later Oliger plans to sell the mount
ing to some big city store to use as a
window decoration
