One of his stories related TO "Jack, the Cow

When they went away they said 20 him, "Mind
YOU come and see when you come to England"
Jack didn't expect to go TO England then, but il
happened that some years later he went over
with Buffalo Bill.
So he went to call on his great English friends
and they asked him 10 dinner. He was given a
noble duchess Of the realm TO take in and Jack
didn't feel too happy about it. However, he
landed her safely at the table and then he thought
he ought TO say something. He didn't quite know
what so he turned 10 the duchess and said

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, Oct. 6.-CORN-Corn rose in
price today owing largely to the settlement
Of the British railway strike and to the
lifting Of restrictions on saiings from the
United States to British ports. Higher

strengthening factor and SO, too, the heavy
rainfall of Saturday and Sunday. Besides.
offerings were light. Opening prices. which

EVERS STILL "SEES RED"
Predicts That Cincinnati VIII Win
Today-Rest VIII Relieve the
Strain.
By JoHNNY EVERs.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Mcst of the wise
ones figure the White Sox will profit
by yesterdays vacation caused by the
rain. In my opinion neither club will.
Neither win either be the loser.
While Gleason has been unable to
rest his pitching stars, Moran's twirl-
ers also will have the same advantage.
Teday's game ought to be hard
fought Both clubs have had a rest
and chance to ease up the strain.
Lefty Williams may give the Reds a
battle. He is known to be strong in a
beaten him. Nevertheless, I look to
see the Reds win. The momentum
they have gathered in the first four
games should carry them thru today.
Hold Eller is very likely to pitch for
Cincinnati. He is a pitcher just as
capable as, the hurlers who have al
ready delivered. If the day is cloudy
he will have double advantage.
Speed is one of his main assets. Also.
he is fresh. not having faced the Sox
as yet. He is very anxious for his
chance.
1t is possible that Moran will decide
to start Reuther in the fifth game. He
figures Reuther as good for another
game any time he starts. Pats final
selection will depend on what, pitcher
Gleason sends out.
If Eller and Williams hook UP, the
Sex have a chance to win today; but
1t would be their last victory of the
series as Moran's southpaws, Sallee
and Reuther are almost certain to win
on their home grounds. I say this
realizing, Dickie Kerr may oppose one
of them. I believe Kerr will give the
Reds trouble again, but believe they
will beat him next time
