the standard, if necessary.
Chairman Adkins paid tribute to

to come to the city OF forlorn hopes
and lead the Reds.
So Pat packed up again and hit
the trail-for oblivion, most folks
thought. Cinci fans laid down their
hammers, handy by, and save Pat a
chance.
Now the Cincinnati club has the
inside track on the pennant. And
giving due credit to the players of
the club. it has been namely Moran's
personality, his all-round baseball
ability and his keen leadership that
has put the Redlegs where they are.
While many rabid fans around the
National league circuit and even in
the American league are giving the
pennant to Moran now, the Cinci
fans and sport writers are taking a
very sane view of the situation and
have not conceded the flag to their
club.

Last spring President Baker of the

this season for the least money if he
just fired Pat Moran and hired some
body else as manager.
The fact that Pat Moran won pen

Alexander, Wade Killifer and seven
other uniforms was forgotten. He just
told Pat to leave the key to his locker
at the clubhouse.

1T is much too early to begin

The fans all have complete conf
dence in Manager Moran and his
men, but the games must be won on
the diamond and not in the Hobbies of
hotels or other public places. The
Reds still have games to play with
the Cubs, who think they have a
possible chance for second place. Our
boys will therefore have to keep on
going at fast clip and that is their
intention and ambition. The team may
well inspire confidence for it it we'll
handled and all the boys are keyed
up to a winning notch.
The Giants are still a dangerous
contender. But the boys have a lot
OF confidence in their manager and
in one another, which means a great
deal in hard struggle like this.
If the team can holds it's own for the
next two weeks and come home in
