again into irresponsible musical mer-

when regarded as whole, are sure to
prove mighty big factors in a nine
game sesies. They form percentage"
and in a short series it is very possible
that the margin between victory and
defeat will be the margin the per-
centage gives.
Moran figured on using Reuther in
the opener because he regarded him
as the most likely to turn back the
White Sox. Victory in the first game
will give the Reds a big advantage,
since in very few cases has victory in
a world series gone to club that
lost the first game.
Many pages of figures have been
written to show the superiority of the
Sox, but dope based on such a founda-
ton does the Reds an injustice. In
pitching, the Reds are superior to the
Sox; and on the defense they are
equal; in batting the Sox may have a
bit of an edge. But the Reds are
pinch players. They are just as surely
a money club" as the SoX. They
play real baseball. They have class
and they have one of the greatest
managers in the game in command.
These are the reasons I believe the
Cincinnati Reds will be champions of
the world when the last play of the
final game is licked over the wires.

be greatly reduced. These elements

REVIVE BOXING HERE
Bout at C. of c. Tuesday stirs Instinct
of Army Men.

Building on the boxing match which
is to be the feature of the Chamber
of Commerce meeting Tuesday even
ing, an effort is to be made to revive
the sport in Topeka
This first bout between A. L. Oliger,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, and Corbet Lewis. the Lebo
blacksmith, is expected to stir the de-
sires of former service men for more
of the affairs. In the army and in the
navy boxing matches between the men
were of daily occurrence. In fact the
government used the boxing match as
one of the best exercises for the train
ing of the men in the use of the
bayonet.
Many men in Topeka are laying
plans for the promotion of boxing in
Topeka this winter. 1t may be that
the bouts will be solely amateur af-
fairs and that some of them will be
crude in the eXtreme-but the plans
for revival of boxing in Topeka are
going ahead just the same.

revolver into the body of his young
wife and then turned the weapon on
himself and fired a bullet into his
