ALABAMA RUNNERS
 TRAINING FOR MEET
Crimson and White to Be We'll Rep
 resented in Race of Dec 6

University, October 4.-(Special)-. With the election of Henry Beatty as captain track work is taking on very optimistic outlook at the University Of Alabama. In the persons of Walter Jones, Beatty, Kirchner and Thompson, Alabama has four of the fastest run ners in the south. Captain Beatty is putting his men through stiff practice each afternoon in preparation for the S. I. A. A. and the S. A. A. U. meets at Birmingham on December
 Besides the Big Four" who are working on the long distances. there is large number of freshmen who are showing their sprintirg ability. MucH dependence is being placed in Walter Jones. who has won two long distance runs in Birmingham and has never taken less than second place in any race which he contested.
 Captain Beatty is a veteran of eight years and has been a successful con- testant in seven of the nine S. A. A. U. meets and has won the intercollegiate medal at Alabama for three years. Kirshner won the three miles race for Alabama in the s. I. A. A. meet in Bir- mingham last season. Thompson, who hung up good record last year is showing a marked improvement this year. Prospects are that Alabama will be represented by the best cross coun- try team in her history

THE OLD STARS KNEW

Evers glanced at Mathewson, and Evers shook his head. No word passed between them, but there was a world of meaning.in the gesture. Better than any others in all that great crowd. per haps, they knew the feelings of Eddie Cicotte, the veteran pitcher of ~the White Sox, as he left the field, leaving the glory of victory to Jimmy Ring, the newest star
 They knew something, too, of the feelings of young Jimmy Ring, fresh from his triumph of to over the old pitcher. and the White Sox. They. too, once lived the same hours.
 Cicotte's own mishaps caused his de- feat this afternoon. He made two bad throws in one inning. both probably due to over anxiety as much as any thing else It was tough luck" It was q happening as unfortunate as has ever befallen pitcher in the world series
 They were writing Cicotte's baseball epitaph after the fourth Snning of the first game over in Cincinnati, and his epitaph was "all through" Yet Cicotte today pitched masterly ball He pitched with all his old time cunning and skill Then came that almost wicked twist of luck in his own hand which brought about his defeat
 Between innings this afternoon, d pa ternal little scene was being enacted over on the Red Bench. The red faced, gray-haired Pat Moran, leader of the Reds, was constantly talking to young Jimmy Ring, as father might talk to a son. The voice of the Cincinnati man. ager could be heard on almost every ball pitched by the lad, who was Brooklyn school boy a couple of years back.
 It was always the voice of encour- agement. Moran has raised Ring. so to speak. to one of his best pitchers this year after Jimmy had started on what looked as if it might be that intermin i able round of the leagues that is often the portion of basebalrs young.
 RINGS HISTORY
 Uncle Wilbert Robinson found him in Brooklyn and first took him south with the club from that city. Then the New York Yankees had Ring for a time. Next came a period in the minor leagues but finally Jimmy fell into the fatherly hands of Moran

PAT DUNCAN WINS BYFAST THINKING Red Fans Predicting Close of Series by Monday.
 Eller to Win

Cincinnati, October 4.-(Special )-Just Pat Duncan, young and nervy gardener for Pat Moran's champion Red Legs, the former Birmingham star, came through at the critical moment in the worlds series now in progress. Pat demonstrated to the 5000 fans in Conis- key park today that he is all that he has been touted, and to the local aggre- gation of Red Backers he only fulfilled what promises his many admirers were making for him.
 The nervy young outfielder used his head this afternoon and was on his toes at all times, his actions in this respect putting across the first of the brace of tallies. and it really was that run that defeated Comiskey's pets.
 Pat reached second when Cicotte threw his grounder into the stands. Duncan saw the nnisplay and never hesitated, but rounded first, and with full steam ahead easily negotiated the extra base. Kopf followed him and laced out a single to left, the hit being too short to permit Pat to count. But he was keeping his keen eye open for an opportunity to race homeward and when Cicotte intercepted the peg from Jackson and nffued it, Pat was away from third like 12-cylinder gas buggy hitting on high. sliding across the plate before the ball could be re- trieved.
 That is the kind of work Duncan has been doing for the Reds ever since he joined the team during the important games in New York in August Nothing can fase the recruit who in less than six weeks in major league company has won his way into the big classic. and is just as much at home as any of tho other fellows who have been playing the big time for years.
 There is no fan in Redland tonight who does not believe that Pat will make himself felt in even a greater way than he did today. They are of the opinion, one and all. that their idol will come through with his heavy stick at the crucial moment, just as he used his head today. Duncan filled the gap Tn left during the 1919 campaign for Pat Moran. and just as the experts predicted he is filling the gap in left during the classic now moving along.
 Redland is intoxicated with joy tonight and the fans predict the end of the series here Monday They figure if Filler works tomorrow he will turn in winner and Ruether will repeat Monday.

 GLEASON'S STATEMENT
 'sThat certainly was a tough game for Cicotte to lose,'' said Manager Gleason. ''He was so set upon win ming that he was a bundle of nerves. If he had allowed Duncans groundcr to so to Weaver there might be diff feront tale to tell tonight. That put the Reds in a position to score.
 However, we are not downhearted. Although 1t will be an uphill fight, the Sox will come back. A lead of three games is considerable advantage, but the series is not over. I may pitch Williams tomorrow"

CICOTTE DESPERATE

The old shine ball king called on his every resource He worked with every pound of strength in his body. He was desperate. Even the most feverish Cih- cinnati rooter while glorying in Ring 5 success, could not help feeling some sympathy for the veteran as he made his last stand.
 It was another hot, broiling day. The suspicion is growing in these parts that the weather is crossing the season worse than the baseball dope is crossing the noble experts.
 Most people have hitherto supposed that there was something in the statutes or the state of Illinois requiring c/lly at mosphere in Chicago during a world 5 series, but it seems this is an error. The sun was doing business at his old stand this afternoon, and soon fried all hands right down to their suspenders. The

 "our pitching staff is vastly superior to the Sox. We have proved 1t. Ring pitched a remarkable game today and got himself out of a tight hole nicely in the second after being forced to pass Schalk. The slightest loss of judgment in that inning would have meant beating for us.

PITCHING RECORDS IN FOURTH BATTLE
 OF WORLDS SERIES

Chicago, October 4.-Although Eddie world series contest, the analysis of balls and strikes showed him far steadier than Jimmie Ring. his successful Gin cinnati opponent. Cicotte put over g strikes, one more than Ring, and 26 of his offerings were hit to fair territory. whereas 2 of Rings were shot there by the home batSmen.
 In called balls, moreover, Cicotte was away ahead. Umpire Nalliu thought Eddie" missed the plate 2 times, but he picked A of Rings as bad ones. Four of these were given purpoSely to Schalk in the second inning. In addition, Ring gave two other passes. while Cicotte issued none. Each pitcher was credited with two strike-outs. Two hit batsmen went on the wrong side of Rings ledger.
 That Ring was depending upon his fast ball to pull him out of ticklish situa- tions was evident from the number of pop-u ups which the Chicago players hit. Sixteen times they hit the ball in the air to fair territory and four times to foul. Ten of the Cincinnati attempts of Cicotte went over the infield and eight sailed into foul territory, half of these latter going over the stand.
 The White Sox cut the ball along the ground 1S times. while Cincinnati's grounders numbered three more.
 Cicotte's best innings were the eighth and ninth, in each of which he pitched only seven times.
 Rings best round was the fourth, when three strikes, one ball. two flies and one foul HSer the stand disposed of Chicago His worst was the second inning, when he threw B balls and six strikes, and was found for two flies, two srounders and a foul. He also had to do lot Of pitching in the eighth, but 13 of his D offerings were over the plate in that session.

Navy Defeats North
 Carolina Football Team
By Associated rrsss

AnnapoIls, MT, October t.--NaNy smothered the football eleven of North Carolina State College under a score of 49 to 0. in the opening game of the season here today.
 The visitors were hopelessly out classed from the start to the final whistle. and at no stage did they threaten to score. On the other hand, the middies forced the fighting all the way and crossed the opposing goal line on seven occasions, and inc each in- stance the try for goal was success ful. They accomplished this largely through line smashing and off tackle plays
