The Yankees, the one Eastern club
with a chance for the banner, have
today won a and lost 81 games. for
an average of $50. They have Sc
more games to play before hanging

with so more wins this year-and this

that the white SoX are through" He
forms his opinion By what the
Brownies did to the Gleason gang in
Chicago, breaking even in four games.
The failure OF Eddie Cicotte yester-
day rather holsters up what Works
has to say. CicOtte pulled q Jess VIII
lard at the Polo Grounds. At the end
of the fifth frame, when he had been
battered for five hits and four runs.
Cicotte turned on his heel and hiked
right out to the clubhouse in center
field. He refused to go to the bench
and be knocked out.
Gleason has admitted that he had
bat two pitchers-Cicotte and Will
Hams. II Cicotte has shot his bolt,
only Williams remains, which explains
the wild efforts Of Comiskey to buy
Carl. Mays and Scott Perry. Reduced
to one capable pitcher, Gleason must
realize the hard task ahead.

For years the Cincinnati club has
furnished jokes for baseball writer's.
It was a morning glory" 1t won its
every day after that" Nobody ever
took the Reds seriously. They played
merely because the schedule called for
their appearance on the field.
In 1853. when our noble athletes
sported full whiskers, the Reds toured
the country, winning fifty-seven
straight games and never being de-
feated. Those were the days when no
league existed. The Reds simply traV-
eled around and played every team to
be found. But since the National
League was formed in 1875, the best
the Reds have done was to finish in
second place. That was back in 1878.
The Reds have succeeded in fin
ishing in third place four times, IN
1886, 1888, 1904 and 1918. Fourteen
years Of bitter, bitter disappointment
were those between 1904 and 1918.
Joe Kelley failed. as a Redland lead
err and Ned HanIon was hailed as q
savior, only to be canned as a failure.
After him. came John Camel. CLARK

A Personal Triumph.
If the Cincinnati Reds do win the
National League banner this season
and they have an excellent chance
it will be a personal triumph for Pa
tricius Moran. He won a pennant for
the Philadelphia National League
club in 1915 only to have his owners
sell his best players. His hands were
tied from then until he was released
without question last winter. He hal
won Philadelphia's first National
League glory. His reward was un-
justified release.
