PAT MORAN HAS FIVE CAPABLE MEN
TO BATTLE WHITE SOX ON HILLOCK

Pat Moran has pitchers and lots Of
'em. Those who are picking the Gin
cinnati club to win the worlds Sc
ries are pointing out the supremacy
of the Redland pitching staff over
that Of the White Sox. For one
thing no one will deny that Moran
has a greater variety Of capable box
men. The Cincinnati staff is wen
balanced, as Moran can call on at
least five pitchers who are fairly
certain to give a good account Of
themselves. On the other hand,
Gleason has only two aces in Chi
cago, the veteran Eddie Cicotte and
Claude Williams, the lefthandeF.
Moran has two high class lefthand-
ers, the brilliant youngster, Walter
Reuther, and the leathery old veteran,
Slim Sallee. Pats regular right
handlers are HOd Eller, the "shine
BALI king; Jimmy Ring, the clever
Brooklyn boy, and the veteran school
master, Ray Fisher.
In addition to this quintet, Moran
has AdoIfO Luque, the Cuban right
handler, who won ten out OF thirteen
games for CINCINNATI; Eddie GerneT
and Rube Bressler, young lefthanders,
and Roy Mitchell, the oldtimer who
pitched for the St. Louis Browns a
decade ago. Bressler was used most
OF the season as an extra Outhelder
and he may get into the series in that
capacity.

The adverse criticisms on Billy

us of two Bible stories, one the
parable of the sower and the other
the complaint which Saint John
made to Christ as reported in the
49th and 50th verses of the ninth
chapter of Luke. Every one is
familiar with the former, from
which we may learn that some of
the seed sown by Billy Sunday is
taking root in fallow ground and
will produce permanent good, If
his work results in the salvation
of as many as dozen souls, as we
are sure that it will, it will be well
worth the cost.

are known to be several species
which can travel overland for
miles. For instance, certain fish
of the South American tropics
leave the small ponds they have
lived in to seek larger and cooler
stretches of water farther afeld
when the sun threatens to dry up
their late habitations. They spend
whole days and nights upon their
march, and travel by hundreds

the forests.-St. Augustine Rec.
