winners in the Republican primaries
Congressman Moore, candidate for
Mayor. was assumed to be one Of the
winners" under discussion by the in
terviewer and Mr.. Lane.
The city committee, il is believed
will meet early next week. Sheriff
Ransley, chairman, said the call had not
yet gone out.
Mr.. Lane said it was absurd" to
question the regularity of the Wares
Mr.. Lane made it clear he looks for
nothing else than full support of Mr.
Moore on the part of the Wares. "The
Wares live on regularity added the
former city. cha irman, as he ridiNllec
any suggestion that the Wares woult

that the Wares are as I am in a sit
uation like this, 1t is foolish to think
otherwise and / wouldn't think of ask
ing the Wares anything along this line
Their record, like mine, speaks for itself
Whenever I am disappointed in thu

Pugh to Support Moore
Another development in the gossip o
the day was the fiat declaration of Johr

OF Mr.. Moore.
THE Sixteenth ward, said the Var
leader, twill be solid for Moore. TIL

Mr.. Pugh's announcement was mad

Harry Wagner Certain That Moran's
Crowd VIII Trim the White Sox

Harry Wagner, one Of the keenest
students of baseball and an umpire of
the International League well known in
Philadelphia, has seen the White Sox
and Reds play many games this season
and after looking them over is certain
that Moran's crowd Is going TO cop the
big series.
"I picked the Reds because of the
pitchers, said his jumps, 81 believe
that Cicotte is through as a major league
pitcher. He was worked to death this
year and I think he is all in now. Not
only that but his recent injury is big
handicap and one which ] don't think
that he can overcome. 1t is case
similar to James. the big hurler of the
Boston Braves. Moran has three cork
ing pitchers in Eller, Ruether and Sal
lee. Ring and Fisher are also good,
better in fact. think than anything
Gleason can show. think that is
sufficient reason for believing the White
Sox are through
Wagner has been offered the extra
