Betting on Reds Increases But Even Money is Best That Can Be Had in Main. BY JACK VEIOCI -REDLAND FIELD. CINCIN NATI, 0., Oct. 2. Ideal baseball weather greeted the Reds and White Sox here this afternoon, as they entered the second game of the series, Redland field was baked to midsurfrner crispness early in the day and the fans who carne out beforerpon peeled off coats and collars. With the thermometer standing at SO and the stingiest sort of a breeze lazily fanning the flags on the grandstands it looked like a hot job for the athletes. CINCINNATI IS HAPPY. The bugs and burettes did not come out quite so early today. the novelty i of being: among th first at Rd!and field j wore off after they hid waited some fivej hours for the first game to start. The j pavilion and blacher seats filled up first j and the centerfteld bleachers presented a mass of white shirts. Cincinnati flt happy over te prospects of enjoyir.fr her first world's series yesterday but fh was in an uprour of eood humor today. With the f.rst frnni" tu-kd safely I away rat Moran's brave boys are err-' tain of victory now. They admitted ihej possibility of defeat before they drove i Kddie Cicotte to th" shower with an! avalanche of hits, but take it from them, it's all over but the shouting. XVEN MONEY IS BET. The fans, too. are bulpinsr with corf,. (Sence and betting or. the Reds increased I today although even money was about) the best that could be gotten. A few j betn with odds favoring the Reds at .6 j to R and 7 to 5 were reported. I George M. Cohan, who came here as' a White Sox supporter and brought' something like $2S.feo to place on the! G'.easonites. has been unable to get much of it. up.

Rut standing room will be at a premium with such w-eather on tap and the officials of the Cincinnati club expect to pack close to "3.000 in. John rhilip Sousa and his famous band lined up for action near the Redsbench at 12:30 ar.d the crowd yelled its approval.

He also stated that he had consulted with Medical Directors Stltt and Dennis of the navy department in reference to the president's case. The decision to call In a specialist was prompted as much by the cond'.t'on or Dr. nrayson as by the illness of the patient. Dr. Grayson has been with the president almost constantly. an 1 has been up at all hours of the nights. Consequently he is himself worn out.

"No compromise and no" arbitration" ct the steel strlia would be consented to by aim at this time, Judga Elbert II.

Hopes for arbitration of the steel strike at the suggestion cf the senate committee investigating the strike were slight today as the committee prepared for its second day of examination of E. H. Gary, chief executive officer of the U. S. Steel corporation. Judge Gary has shown no disposition to arbitrate although the members of the committee have been unable to put the question to him squarely. GABY AESAIONS "TOKEIGMX US." Foreigners representing but 13 per cent of the workers are the ones engaged in the steel strike and idenntied with the union organizations responsible for the present walkout. Judge E. H.

Americans: second, foreigners. r.tauralized unnaturalize.: third, "the small minority of foreigners actually on strike " He said that the las constitute-! the radical element, in his judgment. It 'is they, he estimated, who represented but 1." per cent of the stee v-o-kers. "These foreign-born and unnaturalized workers were the ones who struck not 'he Americans -nor the be'ter class of foriegners." he said, and it was "only they who had heeded the efforts of organized labor leaders to unionize tb.e;n ar.d force the steel corporation to grant the demands of the A.
