Reds Look Stronger
Than Pirates, Who
Are Higher

Outside of New York there
was no National League club
that had as much confidence in
winning the pennant as Cincin-
natl. Pittsburgh was regarded
by many, including Manager
McGraw. as the foe to give the
Giants the most trouble.
Cincinnati was so sure of COM
ing through that they began to
talk pennant out that way even
when the team was deep in the
second division. There was
something back of this conf
dence, because the Reds are
travelling fast and Pat Moran
has his pitchers working smooth
ly. Right now they look like
stronger club than the Pirates.
