ANOTHER WOMAN IS ATTACKED BY
 NEGRO IN OMAHA
Gen. Wood, in Charge of Town, Acts to Keep Matter from
 the Public.

Omaha, Neb., Oct. Mrs. w. C. Wlsner, white, was attacked by a negro in a shed in the rear of her home this afternoon. The negro es- capped. The Wisner home is in the heart of Omaha's black belt, which is under control of the military outhor- ities under the command of Mao General Leonard Wood
 Mrs. Wisner was found bound and gagged, lying unconscious in a shed in the rear of her home by Ralph Gilson, a brother, who had been summoned by the 12-year-old son of the woman. A heavy towel had been used as a gag and also as means of tying the woman's hands. her face was bleeding profusely from scratches inflicted by her assaii- ant.
 Military authorities, as soon as announcement was made of the as sault, took entire charge fthe situa- tion and ordered the police depart ment, control of which had been turned over to Major General Wood, by acting Mayor w. c. Ire, to re- frai nfrom making any announcement of the assault
 Despite the presence of 14OO troops in the city, feeling is running high and the guard around the "blacl belt' vii be doubled tonight. General Wood issued his second order since assuming command of the city. short ly after the attack, in which he pro- vided for double guard in the dis trict.
 Following his conference with his staff, General Wood was in confer ence with the editors of the three Omaha papers, during the course of which he read the official report of the case to them. At the conclusion of the conference he did not order, but rather requested that all public ity of the case be minmized in the face of the riot and lynching of Sun day evening.

 ALSO GREAT FACTOR Red Errors Account for Sox Run Barrage of Base Hits in the
 Fourth Sends Ace" to
 Showers.

Cincinnati, Oct. 1.-Cincinnatl to- day won the opening game of the world series from the Chicago Ameri- cans by score of 9 to 1.
 Every series develops a new idol. and Walter Reuther who pitched the Reds to victory, was the unanimous choice tonight. He not only held the White Six to six scattered hits and really deserved a shutout, but rolled up a batting of 1000 for himself.
 If there was anything in the game that was better than his hurling. it was his work with the stock. Two of his three hits were mighty triples. He drove in two runs, scored one him. self and was the instigator of the mad romping of Redlegs around the bases in the Hateful fourth. The Soy were in the fight up to that time. but when he propelled the ball into No Mans Land in center and romped around to third while two scored ahead of him, the heart seemed to go out of the. American leaguers.
 It was sad day for Eddie Cicotte, leading pitcher of the junior league. Never before was so decisive a beat ing administered to the Michigan wonder. He was simply pounded out of the box. Five runs were recorded against him in the fourth before Manager Gleason gave him the sign to retire. His team mates gathered around him and patted him encour- agingly on the back, but he walked from the diamond with his head lowered.

Gleason Says ''We'll Win; Can't Stop Us," Declares Pat
 Moran.

Cincinnati, Oct. 1.-Claude Lefty Williams, rated as one of the best left handlers in the American league this season, will be Manager "Kid'' Gleason's pitching selection to stop the batting drive of the Reds in the second pame of the worlds series tomorrow. Slim Sallee wil opose him.
 "We got away to a flying start" said Manager Moran tonight "beat- ing Cicotte Gleason's best bet. it makes no difference to my men what nitcher Gleason starts tomorrow. Tehv said beforn the series that the Reds couldn't hit. Fourteen hits tell the story. The same batting drive will carry them through to victory.
 "The Reds entered the series a 'cockv' lot of players and this victory has oiven them lot r'ore confidence. Reuther deserved shutont and the Chicapo n'ayers will find it just as hard to hit our other pitchers. Reuth- CT deserves great credit for the vic tory. He was cool at all times. His battirg was a surprise to me-"
 "We will even up the series to- morrow" said Manaoer Gleason of the White Sox. "When Cicotte hit Rath in the first inning he was un- nerved and was not himself there after. I could have taken him ont then. but I trusted that luck would enable Eddie to reoain his control. l intend to start Williams tomorrow and have every confidence that there will be a different tale to tell.

owner of the Reds, who came pant ing up the runway of the grand stand, stopped long enough to remark to friends:
 Those dopesters that were figur- ing Cincinnati second, didn't figure on our batting pitchers. We've got two more like Reuther; they're all been batting around 300 all season.
 The day was clear and hot and 3O,- ll5 enthusiasts witnessed the con- test. Cincinnati has always been known as a thorough going baseball town, supporting the home team in good season or bad, but nerves were on edge today with the importance of the struggle in store. This was made evident by the abrupt termination of the waves of cheering until the in uhdatlon of runs in the fourth relaxed the tension and cheering became wild and prolonged. :, Cincinnati made the first score in 1ne first, but as Chicago imme- diately afterward tied the score. it was still regarded as anybody's game.
