A YOUNG MAN who works

4 n desks in a large Office

boss the other day on the subject of
more money each week. The sup
nliant mentioned the increased cost

said. 81 don't see how this high
cost Of things hits you single fell
lows at all. Maybe it does boost the
price of your board and cuts down
on your drinks, but that's about all. I"
The young man floundered through
his vocabulary for suitable refu-
tation. He finally mumbled some
thing about having girl, loving her
and desiring to give her all the
things that a member of a union is
able to provide for the one girl.
The boss granted the increase. It
CHANGED he had only that afternoon
bought a dozen American Beauty
roses for his wife in recognition of
ten years of unity. In his court
ship DAYS those roses had cost him
SIP q dozen. He remembered he
had had sense of shock that dec
ade had added 100 per cent to the
cost Of roses.
Other young men probably are
being turned down daily in their
petitions for salary raises, largely
because their bosses are limiting
their gifts to their wives to wearing
apparel and staple foods.
Every once in a while the United
States Department Of Labor issues a
group Of statistics showing that the
cost of eggs has advanced 20 or so
per cent, as the case may be, while
the cost Of baby shoes has @lasbed
FIVE sizes in the last three years.

The best seat in any house ten
years ago, according to Grenaker,
cost $3.50. The same seat takes
SO away from the young man in
love to-day. There is a 60-cent
war tax on two SO theater tickets.
Figures wildly portray the
scurvy trick which the cost of
walking out" is playing upon
young men in love. A comparison
OF the cost Of an evening out with
her in 1909 and in 1919 gives the
following appalling results:

These statistics are from the re-
searches, in addition to those of
Messrs. Grenaker and Mcintyre, of

for an evenings entertainment for
two might seem exaggerated to some,
but it won't appear excessive at all
to the smitten young men who are
thankful for the privilege of paying
it once week at least.

Managers Statements

Chicago, Oct. 9.-"The Reds
are champions and l am the hap
piest man in the world tonight"
said Manager Pat Moran of the
triumphant Cincinnati club. Il
cannot praise my players too
highly. They played remarkable
ball, fought every minute to win
and there never was time when
they lost confidence.
'Eller got himself in a couple
of bad holes today, but he recov-
cred quickly, and had the Sox at
his mercy. l want to say that
the Sox are not cutters. They
are a game lot of players. They
fought to win, but were out
classed, in my opinion. The Sc
ries ended as | thought it would,
but / must admit that the Sox
gave us scare"
IF Williams had shown some
stuff in the first inning it would
have been a different story to tell
tonight" said Manager Gleason
of the Sox.- But he didn't have
a thing except a desire to beat
the Reds. That first inning.
when the Reds scored four runs,
was enough to take the heart out
of any ball club, but the Sox
came back fighting.
I'VE were handicapped at the
start of the series in pitching, but
| was confident that we could
pull through. The Reds were
lucky to win those early games.
However, they beat US in one Of
the greatest series ever staged
and my hat is off to them. But
still believe that the Sox are the
better ball club"

Coyotes Will Have Squad OF
20 Men Here, But Stars Of
the Team Are Reported
Badly Crippled.

Vermillion, S. D., Oct. o.-(Spe-
cial Telegram. coach Stewart Of
the University of South Dakota
stated that as yet the lineup for the
opening game with Creighton uni
versity at Omaha Saturday is unde-
cided, but that 4 squad OF about q
men will make the trip. Followers
of the team are dubious as to the
results Of the opener on account of
injuries to some of the most relia-
bic backheld and line men, but are
still expecting a good showing from
the Coyotes.
Both Altman and Hengler. star
iinemen, are out of foot ball for the
remainder of the season on account
of broken ankles, and Brosn. candi-
date for quarterback. and Metzger,
halfback, are out with broken
shoulder and arm, respectively.
Duncan, left end and veteran of two
years experience, will be unable to
play Saturday on account of bad
ly infected foot and his absence will
weaken the line considerably.

Snapshots Of Game.

Chicago, Oct. o.-The crowd Of
$3.50 all but jammed Comiskey
park to capacity. The only vacant
seats were in the right field boxes.
Ticket spectators who bought
seats yesterday, expecting to sell
them at fabulous prices, lost heav-
lily. They were eager to accept face
value for them IS minutes before
game time.
In the sixth inning, when the
Reds scored three more runs, fans
began leaving the park. They re-
GREETED their departure after learn
ing OF the Sox rally in the eighth.
Evidently the Sox thought Pitch
er Filler was mutilating the ball to
make it hop freakishly, for on nu-
merous occasions they requested
that Nallin examine it. But after
looking at it Nallin tossed the ball
back to "Hod.'
The crowd was generous in its
applause to Eller, former Sox
cast-off. Remembering his three
hit victory in the game last Mon
day, the crowd gave him an ovation
every time he came to bat. He
responded once with a single.

PROVES
LESS EFFECTIVE
IN LAST GAM E
Despite That He Pitches
Poorer Ball the Sox Are
Unable to Meet His
Delivery and Lose.

Chicago, Oct. o.-"Hod" Filler
was far less effective in the con-
GLIDING game of the worlds series
today than on last Monday, but the
pitching analysis proved him plenty
good enough in comparison with the
brand of hurting displayed by the
three White Sox pitchers. They had
to throw 1853 times in nine innings,
while Eller threw 100 times.
Eller missed the plate 40 times,
giving 80 balls and hitting a bats
man in the ninth inning. The Chi
cago trio was wide of the plate IS
times, having 63 bad ones called on
them and hitting two of the visitors.
More than half of these poor pitches
were charged to big Bill" James,
whose inability to find the corners
when he had stuff" on the ball
caused his removal early in the sixth
inning. Wilkinson's control was
none too good, either, as evidenced
by the 26 wide pitches in four in
nings.
Nothing on Ball.
Claude Williams found the plate
easily enough while he was in the
box, but, like the proverbial ma
gician, he had nothing with which
to deceive.
Eller's figures showed also the
same general characteristics that he
displayed in his previous game. The
White Sox hit an even so of his Of
ferings. but only eight were on the
grass. There were 81 strikes, II
ordinary fouls and q fair flies rec
orded by the Chicago sluggers. A
goodly number of these fair flies
went far afeld, but their height al
lowed the Reds outer defense to
reach them.
Eller's Best Innings.
Eller's best innings were the
fourth and fifth, in each Of which
he averaged only three pitches to
the putout. His longest session
was the second, but after a wabbly
start he registered a strike-out for
the third out, repeating a similar
feat of the first inning. The bom-
bardment of the eighth inning was
revealed by the small number OF
strikes as compared with balls hit
to fair ground, and he was a tired
pitcher when the final out was reg
istered.
OF the Chicago hurlers only
Wilkinson had an inning worthy of
note, and that was the ninth, when
he threw only seven times.

The Reds started the sixth with

Roush singled to center, scoring
Eller and Rath. Duncan joined il
the melee by singing and scoring
Daubert. Kopf walked and Neale
hit to Weaver, who threw Roush
out at the plate. The bases. how

at bat, Kopf took too long a lead

Schalk's throw.

In the eighth Roush got a life
when hit in the back by a pitched
ball, and it eventuated into tally.
He was sacrificed to second by
Duncan and registered on Rariden's
single to left.

with the first run of the game. Groh
on the throw to the plate went to
third. Duncan, observing that left
field had been Disseminated against
in the matter Of drives, singled in
that direction, scoring Groh and
Roush. This series of gargantuan
wallops ended Williams career as
: major league pitcher for this
season. He retired to the bench
and the towering James strobe into
the fray. He was wild and Kopf
walked on four bad ones. James
steadied when he faced Neale and
the Red right fielder struck out.
Rariden sent a single to center,
sending Duncan home. Filler was
the final out on a fly to Felsch in
right.
Flash in the Pan.
The Sox started out as if they had
solved Eller's delivery and intended
to do what they did in Cincinnati
the other day, overcome fourrun
lead for victory. The hope was
short lived, however. Liebold sim
gled to left and went to third on
Ed Collins double to left center.
Weaver struck at two and missed
and was informed by the umpire
that he also should have struck at
the third one. The runners. on sec
ond and third looked weary when
Weaver was called out, but perked
up when Jackson grasped his bat
and faced Eller. The best the slug
ger could do on this occasion was a
pop up to short. Felsch was even
less able, for he struck out, and
those who had so often in this Sc
ries seen the Sox die on bases for
lack of hits at the right time lost
hope right there.
The Reds started the second with
. Whit by Rath. Daubert sent fly
to Jackson. Groh started trouble
by beating out grounder to Can
dill and scored on Roush's double
to center. Roush overran second
and was run down between bases.
No Runs for Locals.
In their half Gandil lined to Dau-
bert and Risberg strolled. Rariden
dropped Schalk's foul and for a
moment it looked as if that might
mark . change in the game, for on
his next swing Schalk singled to
left, Risberg going to second.
James, however, fouled to Groh, and
Liebold famed and again there were
no runs for the locals.
In the next inning the Reds were,
retired in rotation, but in their half
the Sox produced the first and only
home run of the series. Jackson
was the hero. He caught 4 breast
high fast one and dropped it clearly
into the distant right field bleachers.

Liebold drove a liner to right, which
Neale captured on the dead run
Collins singled to center and Weav-

Collins and Weaver scored on
Jackson's double in the same direc-
ton. Felsch popped to Daubert
1t was here that the sun joined
the White Sox team. Gandil hit a
long fly to right center. Neale evi.
IDENTIFY heard the crack of the bat
but saw nothing. He shaded his
eyes to pierce the blue, but never
saw the ball, and it dropped 80 feet
from anybody for a triple. He
scored when Roush also. bothered
by the glare, dropped Risberg's fly.
Schalk was thrown out by Rath,
terminating the rally.
Expires on Second.
The Reds got a man to second i'll
the final round, but he expired there
while the Sox, responding to yells
from their friends in the stands,
tried to start another rally, but
nothing came of it. Murphy came
to bat for Wilkinson and did not
try very hard to get out Of the way
Of, curve which struck him on the
back. Liebold sent a liner which
had all the earmarks of triple to
right center. Roush made the
greatest catch of the series in cap
turing it. He raced at top speed
across the field and fell as he
grasped the bali off his shoe tops.
He turned a somersault. but came
up with the ball still safely in his
hands. Murphy was almost at sec
ond but was able to scramble back
to first. Ed Collins singled to cen
ter and Murphy made third on the
hit. The Reds made no attempt to
prevent Collins stealing second. The
game was too near over. Weaver
flew out to left center. Now was
the time from the local viewpoint
for another homer by Jackson, but
he went out easily, Rath to Daubert.
All told, the Reds accumulated l6
hits, every player getting one or
more. The Sox made 10.

Pesek-Londos Bout Draws
Fans From All Over State
Mat Game Followers from All Points in Nebraska Com
ing Into Omaha for Greatest Match Ever Seen in
This Locality; Shelton Farmer is Slight Betting
Favorte.
Johnny Pesek, the famous Buffalo

Johnny Pesek, the famous Buffalo
county farmer-wrestler, will tangle
with Jim Londos, the Greek cham
pion, in finish contest at the
Omaha Auditorium tonight.
Londos and Pesek each in state
ments issued last night expressed
confidence in his ability to win.
The match is expected to be one
of the greatest ever staged in this
city. Wrestling experts and fans
agree that the men are probably
more evenly matched than any two
wrestlers in the country. They are
of about the same weight, fast, skill
full, alert of mind and strong.
An old grudge which dates back
to three years ago is at stake and
each man is determined to even up
the old score once and for all.
The clash over the referee was
settled last night when Jack Lewis
finally persuaded Ernie Holmes to
be the third man in the ring. Lewis
talked to Ernie over the Ions. dis
lance telephone at Phillipsburg,
Kan, where Ernie went with his
base ball team, and Ernie promised
to return a day ahead of time so he
could referee the match. Pesek and
Londos threatened to refuse to
wrestle if Holmes would not referee.
Holmes previously had refused the
job, saying he preferred to stay with
his ball team at Phillipsburg.
A preliminary match will be
staged between Tom Ray and
Charles Mortensen. the terrible
Dane. This in itself is expected to
be an evenings entertainment.
The advance sale of seats indi-
Gates large house will greet the
wrestlers when they step into the
ring tonight. Fans from all over
the state, most of them Pesek fol-
lowers, began to arrive in Omaha
last night and it is expected that
with today's arrivals fully 1000 fans
from outside points will have gath
cred in this city for the big event.
There is little betting on the
match, with Pesek the ruling, favor
lite.
Promoter Lewis reports that the
advance sale of tickets indicates
record house when the two great
little big" men go on the mat. Mail
orders from all sections of the
country have been pouring in, and
each of the points with seats on sale
reports heavy demands for the
pasteboards.

It counted for one run, for there
were none on bases ahead of him.
Felsch was retired, short to first,
and for four more innings Jackson's
tally remained to picture the fact
that the Sox were contending.
Neither side scored in the fourth,
but the inning was signalized by a
wonderful throw by Liebold from
center which nailed Eller.
Hit in Anatomy. ',
The inning started by Rariden
lining to Gandil and Eller got on by
taking one of James wild ones in
his anatomy. Rath beat out hit
toward Collins, Eller reaching Sec
ond. Daubert singled to left center
and Eller attempted to score. 1t
was on this play that Liebold made
his accurate return to the plate.
Groh popped to Collins.
In the fifth the Reds added an
other tally to their string, and did
it after two had been retired hit

dill and way down on the safe side
of the foul line for triple. Neale

Local Fans Call Reports
Fake: Coyote Squad Strong

"Bear Dope" is the way Creighton
fans characterized the report from
Vermillion, S. D., that the Coyote
eleven is badly weakened by injuries.
Cy. Lynch, end for the Blue and
White squad this year and quarter
back on the Coyote eleven last year,
has been in correspondence with
several students at the South Da-
kota school and is inclined to look
on the reports of injuries as slightly
exaggerated,
The largest array of material ever
turned out for foot ball at the South
Dakota school answered Coach
Stewards call at the opening of the
season. Rumors from Vermillion
are rife regarding certain finds
Coach Stewart made in the host that
donned the moleskins this year.
Stewart, according to some of the
students at the South Dakota school,
has men enough of high caliber to
complete two full teams. The loss
of Duncan, star of two seasons, will
not be as keenly felt as it would
otherwise.
A number of veterans will make
the trip to Omaha today.
The Creighton squad scrimmaged
with the University of Omaha eleven
Wednesday at Miller park. Heavy
rains left the Creighton field slug
gish and brought the scrimmage to
Miller park.
Students Of Creighton High school
and college held a mass meeting
Thursday afternoon and planned
demonstration for the Coyote
game. Reserved seat tickets have
been placed on sale at Creighton
gymnasium and may be secured by
telephone. The game will be called
Saturday at 5 o. m.
