Chicago, Oct. 9.-Pat Moran's ac
complished Redlegs won the cham
Dionship this afternoon at Comiskey
Park by defeating the White Sox in
the eighth game of the feyerish
worlds series by a score of 10 to 5.
Cincinnati took five out of the eight
contests, but the journey of the glor.
ious steamer to the Queen City was
over a rough road The Reds went
at Kid Gleason's band this afternoon
with ferocious rush which knocked
both Claude Williams and Big Bill
James out of the box.
II was a slow, tedious game. There
was a lot of slugging and loose play
ing, and there was no Indication of
the air-tight pitching and the wonder
full playing which marked the early
struggles of the series. Both teams
were out this afternoon to pound their
way to victory by the sheer Drawn
behind their bats.
II is the first time that the world s
baseball title has gone to Cincinnati
since the National League was or
ganized. 1t is the first time the Ma
tional League has taken the series
since the Braves scored their sensa-
tional victory over the Athletics in
1914.
There was great iubilation among
the small crowd of Cincinnati fans
who ventured back here for today's
game. The general impression in
Cincinnati after yesterdays game was
that Moran's team had cracked, and
was in dire danger of losing the ser
les.
Pat Moran proved TO be leader of
remarkable generalship. He rallied his
men for this final test, and again i'm
bued them with the fighting spirit
which had carried them to the top of
the National League He knew that
they had the playing skill and mechan
lcal ability to outplay Gleason's club
Of courageous ball layers.
Before today's game Pat called the
players together in the clubhouse,
and gave them fatherly talk. Nor
an is no Simon Legree with his men,
He spoke to them earnestly and quiet
y. He told them that they were a
'ar better club than their opponents,
and that if they failed this afternoon
t would be because they lacked fight
ng spirit The Cincinnati players
istened and went out on to the field
o show Moran and Cincinnati that
hey were true to their trust

his uniform makes a big difference in
his appearance Wearing short

They are all well made out of the very
best grade of open-heath pillow steel.
l. does not pay to use cheap material
for this purpose. 1/2-foot knives
are recommended for average work on
all machines, except the three-row
machine for four horses. This ma
chine takes its three rows right to-
gether, and is only designed to cut the
shoulder without going through the
ridge. For this kind of work, it is an
easy four-horse load, and knives from
three to four feet long are all that is
necessary. On all the other machines
4-foot knives work well under favor
able conditions, the 4 1/2-foot knives
under average conditions, and the s.
foot knives under bad conditions, such
as heavy trash and sticky soil.
Owing to the very uncertain steel
situation, all prices are subject to
change without notice. It is safer to
write for prices before ordering.
The shipping weight of the one-row
machine is 100 pounds, the two-row
$50 pounds and the three-row $50
pounds. Your depot agent viii tell
you what the freight will be from Hill
City to your shipping point
Prices are F. o. B. Hill City, and

ceived.

time to time measure the moisture content in each plot
You will observe that the dryer the weather becomes
the more marked will be the difference in the moisture
content of the two plots. Hundreds of fields in this
county have demonstrated that crops always stand the
dry weather better after the knife weeder than after
any other tool when used for the first cultivation
You can the lister in the winter, early
spring. and plant whenever the right time comes,
knowing that the knife weeder will take of the
shoulder and the ridge, thoroughly eliminating all
weed growth there The planting operation will keep
down the weed growth in the row.
