One of bt;st righthanders l4 lSAUO White Sox Fans Confident Sox Will Take Red Legs Into Camp Again. By JACK VEIOCX. STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SERVICE CO MIS KE Y PARK, Oct. 4. Kattlins Pill Gleason and his scrappy White Sox hava removed their backs from the wall today. Their first taste of victory, made possible by Youthful Richard Kerr caused them to tos out chests and china and they wer rarin to start against the Reds in the fourth game of the world's sri?a here this afternoon. With, bright and unusually warm October weather on tap here was every indication that today's game would be witnessed by a capacity crowd. The early comers were even more numerous than they were yesterday. The bleachers and pavilions began fillin? tip rapidly as early as 10. 00 o'clock and by r.oon all of the best seats were occupied. The fans came out today with hopes revived. They expect to see th Sox ev. n up the count by taking the Reds into "camp again. The question of pitchers was on every tongue. Mister Moran hinted that he would five Hod Eller a chance to whitewash Gleanson's sox. Eller is a speedy bird and a right hander. The Sox. love speed, so the fans hped Patrick would choose Eller. There was an even chanc however, that Jimmy Ring might be sent out to the rubber, or that Dutch Reuther would be called back to the firing line. Guessing over Kid Gleason's selection was 50-50 between Eddie Cicotte and Bill James. Boar stories about Cicotte's arm are still being passed around and as promptly denied. But it Is a certainty that Eddie will face the Reds at least once more and it may as well be today. The Reds have lost none of their confidence as a result of defeat. Eddie Rotish and Bill Rariden. who represent the sentiment of their mates, predict that another Red tide would swamp the Sox before nightfall. 'I feel sure we will corrie back with a victory today," said Roush. "I don't think Gleason has a right-hander who can stop us." "Those be my sentiments." chirped Rariden. "We have been pulled pulling that come-back all season, you know. We did it in the big series in New York against the Giants. We'll do it again today." The Reds have, however, apparently failed to reckon with the fart that thSox have started hitting. Gleason's boys had dust in their eyes In the fir-t game. In the second they out-hit the Reds but lst through erratic pitchin.;. Yesterday they began to hit between tin fielders instead at them. And today they hope to hammer the ball for the victory that will knot up the series. That the Reds will put everything they have into the battle to hold and improve the advantage they have gained is a certainty. And they will face an aggregation of batters worthy of their metal. The game today means everything ti Chicago. If the Sox win it. they will again be made favorities in the betting. The effect of one Sox victory on the fans was evident early today. Dawn found a hefty assembly of early bir.ls waiting in line at the gates. Many of them were from out of town, but the season-long cash customer were in the majority. At 12:30 o'clock the real crowd started to pour into the rark through al! entrances. A steady stream of fall and v. inter styles soon had the stands w 11 populated. Many f the hleacherites, sitling in the hot sun. peeled off coats t. be more comfortable. The band entertained the bugs with all of tjie new tunes and several coon shouters sang 5ongs through megaphones. The Sox were the first on the field-today. They shimmied onto the turf at 11:35 and were cheered lustily. Bill James went out to the mound and started tossing the pill, to the batters, thereby discouraging the belief that he might he sent to the rubber. The Sox tuned up their bats in a

HITE INNING NERVES AND COUGHS WILSON AILMENT MN.TER NATIONAL NEWS SEKVICE1 WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. It was learned today there have been times since the president's return to Washington whc"n he could not compose himself to natural sleep and as a resort sleep was induced by artificial means, but the results were not satisfactory. It was only when he found natural rest that he seemed to show refreshment. The president's nervous condition Is regarded as the leading difficulty, demanding complete mental relaxation, but it is complicated in part by intestinal weakness which resulted from influenza which attacked him at Paris. Then, too, it is said there is a slight tissue obstruction in xhe nasal passages which Is annoying. Sometimes the president has been bothered by a hacking cough which may in part be due to the nervous state. IS ABOUT THE SAME TODAY Neurologist Expected for a Consultation This Afternoon With Grayson. (BULLETIN.) INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE 1 WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. Tna morning consultation, with Doctors Grayson, i ten o'clock. It was reported that the ; three were well pleased with tha effects j of fairly rood nig-ht of natural rest had had npon the president. Dr. Dercum was scheduled to reach the White House at 11 o'clock. INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE1 WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. I nofficial reports reaching the White House executive offices early today were that President Wilson had "held his own" during the night and that his condition was no less favorable that it was when Rear Admiral Grayson, his personal physician, issued last night's bulletin stating that there had been a slight improvement. Dr. Francis X. Dercum. the noted neurologist, was expected at the Whive House for another consultation tody with lr. Grayson, Rear Admiral E. R. Stitt and Dr. Sterling Ruffin. There was nothing significant in the return of the Philadelphia specialist, it was stated, it haing been arranged Thursday when Dr. Derrum's services was first enlisted. While unwilling to admit at thi3 timo that the critical stage of the president's illness has passed. Dr. Grayson is confident that a marked improvement in his ! condition soon will be apparent. Tim ' fact that the patient seemed to have I resigned himself to the complete rest j that has been ordered, instead of fretj ting ocr the enforced restraint, marks a long step toward the president's rej covery. Dr. Grayson believed. There were many rumors during ni night that the president's condition ha.l taken a turn for the worse. Tho fa.t that his son-in-law. former secretary of the treasury, Wm. G. McAdoo, after announcing that hew as leaving for his home early in the evening, changed his' plans and remained at the White Hous was one of the incidents upon which these rumors were based. It was stated today, however, that McAdoo's chance of plans were in no way prompted by any change In the president's condition. GRAYSON ISSUES NEW BULLETIN By GEORGE K. HOUtXS. WASHINGTON. Oct. 4. Refreshed by the first real rest he has been able to get in many nights. President Wilson was resting easier at the White House this afternoon amid absolute seclusion. The briif bulletin issued by Dr. I'aiy T. Grayson that this condition is "more favorable." following, as it did. on the heels of last night's announcement that his condition showed "slight improvement." gav Washington the first real hope that the experts are making headway in fighting tho president's ailment. Aside, however, from the hopeful tone of his physicians, the president still Is admittedly "a very sick man." as Dr. Grayson has expressed it. The nervous i o 1 ' a pse from which the president is suffering is of such a nature that any excitement or any outside influence might easily cauee a change for tho worse.

ARRESTED East Chicago Officials Refuse to Comment On Critical Situation. Following the shooting of a union picket by one of the workmen of the Universal Portland Cement at Buffington last night the strike situation in Indiana Harbor has taken on a more serious aspect. Authorities of the city and of the union refuse to comment upon the situation although admitting that it is much more serious than it has been at any previous time. NEGROES GET IXt TROUBLE. The shooting occurred a few minutes before six o'clock yesterday afternoon when union pickets attempted to stop two negroes who were leaving the Buffington riant. Only a short time before the shooting a c-owd of perhaps fifty Pickets had chased two negroes acroi-s the railway tracks near the East Chicago-Gary limits and' Acting Chief Ed ODonnel with eight additional police were rushed to the scene from the Indiana Harbor station. The police had just arived when two mure negroes were accosted by the pickets. One cf the negroes carried a knife and the pnkets started to take it away from him. THEY DttAW EETOLYIES. At this point both negrces drew revolvers and shot into the crowd. Clyde Brackeen. 3fi04 Block avenue, pulled the trigger four times but only two of i he bullets tired. Sam Blair pulled the trigger twice and only one bullet flrei. Kazemir Kersnis. 3722 Beach street, a union picket was hit in the thigh. Pickets, official and unofficial, rush'd in from al sides picking up bricks and stones as they ran but the police were there before them.
