said Gleason today. "After playing through a long season and meeting so many good teams, two games mora or less mean nothing to us. Personally I believe that the seven game limit should hate been allowed to stand because I think seven games are plenty to test the strength of two teams. But we have plenty of pitchers. Clcotte. Williams, Kerr and James can be depended on to handle the pitching end of It and then we have Loudermilk and 'Wilkinson besides." Pat Moran, whose Reds have Just gone over the top. expressed his opinion to the International .News Service today by wire: "Extension of the world's serits to nine games is fully warranted in my judgment by unprecedented interest and in demands for accommodations by the Reds, not to mention an increased purse for the players. The financial rrturns to the contending clubs will not be much larger. Vnder the new arrangement each club contributes half to Us leaue

I might add that instead of being a constant visitor at the Hammond baseball park this season.

DETROIT. Mich., Sept. 17. Newspaper op'nion was about evenly dlviled on the outcome of the Jack Sharkey-Pcre Herman no-decision ten round bou. here Monday night. Sharkey put up an aggressive battle and appeared to get to the bantamweight champion at will, showing particularly well in the eighth, ninth, and tenth rounds. Herman, however, landed many felling body blows and displayed superior ring generalship throughout. Neither man appeared the worse for punishment in the g i ve-and-take melee.

Burns struggled to h!s feet at the count of nine, but Referee Ertlo stopped the contest and led him to his corner.
