CINCINNATI, Oct. 9 IN ANAL
Peering obliquely at the world series
from time to time during the last
few days was Mr.. Harry Sallee, who
is known as Slim for reasons which
were sounder 20 years ago than now,
Also among those present were
Eddie Roush, Heine Groh, Morris
Eath. Dutch Ruether. and one or
two other members of the team
which was the first ever to win a
pennant for Cincinnati-back in
1919, the year of the great blunder
which almost wrecked baseball.
The Reds of 1919 do not talk
willingly about the events of that
famous world series. They. like the
public, were betrayed by the White
SoX who threw five ball games They
prefer today to forget all about it.
That's a little Disappointing to a
fellow interested in every phase of
the series of 1919. but I wasn't as
disappointed as I might have been,
knowing. from conversation with
Greasy Neale. a member of the same
club and now deep football
thinker at Yale, that that is the
way the Reds feel about it.

There were other things to talk
about. though. Mr.. Sallee. for in
stance, was involved in an honest
world series against those same
White SoX, two years before the
disaster of 1919 In 1917, Slim was
the left-handed ace of the New York
Giants, and he got a taste Of what
the SoX really could do in a world
series when they were leyeling.
That was great club Chicago
had there" he says. 1T was a bet
ter one than they had in 1919, in
some ways. because in the IT series
they had Red Faber pitching. Faber
must of been in more than half Of
the series games in 1917. Every time
we looked up. there he was. And
We couldn't do much with that
splitter
The records show that Faber got
credit for three wins and one loss
in a six-game world series. When
Red was not pitching, the Inflated
Eddie Cicotte was. I was tough on
the Giants-spitball, then shine

Then the youngster, with the out

Air 0ffense Polished
By Lincoln Parkers
For Crucial Test
Running Attack Of Team
Strong, Line StoIwort
In Games So Far
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Easterns big chance and big test
in the public high football cham
pionship series come tomorrow
night at Griffith Stadium when it
tangles with a strong Central eleven.
The Lincoln Parkers missed VIM
ming the title last year by one
touchdown as they took the east
division crown, but lost to Western,
the west division winner, in the
championship playoff, AT. This
years team mostly is new, but is
faster and expected to be better.
Two games have been played this
season. with Eastern winning both,
40 over Episcopal and 10 over
Roosevelt in the series opener last
week.
Air Attack Improved.
Those games indicated the Lin
coin Parkers are not as strong as
anticipated. but Coach Mike Kelley
and Assistant Phil Fox have had
time to null over the faults dis
played and find corrective measures.
They have been working since last
Friday on several items, notably
pass defense and doWnfield blocking,
both of which showed need for i'm
provement in the game against
Roosevelt.
Eastern also should display bet
ter passing attack against Central
than it did against Roosevelt and
Episcopal. With Eddie league as
the spearhead OF this form of Of
Tense. the team will have more va
riety in its play. The running at
tack already has proved itself with
Duke Coppage, Neil Craig Moe
Schulman and league all able to
tote the ball for stable gains
league also is something of a place
kicker and is batting 1000 in this
department. having converted all
three of Eastern'S touchdowns this
season.
Line Play Is Strong.
The line play is one of Easterns
strong points. but 1t. too, IS being
strengthened for Central. which has
one Of the better schoolboy forward
walls in this area Eastern probably
will be lighter in the line than Gen.
trail but it makes up for this with
experience. speed and the ability to
turn in good blocking and tackling.
If Eastern can win this game or
even make a good, showing, its
chances of repeating as the east
division champion will be much bet
ter. 1t already has won one of the
four championship games on its
schedule and after Central it must
play Tech and Anacostia. 1t prob
ably will be favorite over Anacostia,
but the Tech game appears toss-up
after the excellent showing the Gray
team made in its opening game
against Episcopal. Tech won, 1910,
five points better than Eastern did
against the same eleven.
