remarked Fat ilorajn shortly after

sunrise. "Quite so, quite so," commcntfil Kid Gleason. "Another day for breaking up that Cincinnati outfit." All of which merely echoes the sentiments of the hoi polio! hereabouts. The natives heartened by the 'White Sox tri

umph Friday feel that the turn ha come in the fortunes of their favorites: that now they are in full stride towards the goal of another world's championship. But the Kedland rooters, who are horc in volume, merely sniff at the hurrahing of the Sox enthusiasts. And the Red athletes are doing ditto. "Can't win all of them." said Fat Moran, "we are not miraclemen. Sox had to get a game somewhere and they pot It yesterday. "We were beaten, but we didn't crack. You'll notice that. And the boys never quit fighting. They were up and doing every minute. But Dick Kerr stopped them. Great boy. that Kerr! But he can't pitch every day. "I've got a gang of batters and when a gang is whipped once it is feverishly anxious for another battle so as to wipe out the stain. The boys are raring to go today and they are going right through to victory." Dutch Reuther who pitched the Sox into submission and clubbed them to a pulp on opening day. probably will be sent after them today. Just who will do the flinging for the Box is a matter for conjecture. Frobably It will be Eddie Cicotte who is begging for another whirl. Fossibly Mayer will firaw the assignment. And there's a rathr slim chance for Bill James.

It's a rather tough plight that of Gleason's. He doesn't know, what Maytr or James can do. He does know the Rads bumped Cicotte off the mound and he isn't sure whether Eddie can do a sucessful "comeback." And the kid wants today's game oh. how he ww's it. The victory will make it all even again. "Whereas defeat will force the Sox to win four combats before the Reds annex two. Meanwhile the betting, which has shown about as many shifts as a prima donna has moods, is suffering another convulsion. It's even money on today's affair and only S to 5 a drop from yesterday's 2H to 1, that the Reds grab the championship bunting. A crowd at least 5,000 larger than Friday's game, was in prospect today. The fact that many bleacher seats were unsold yesterday when it was assumed that the sunbaked stands would be filled

to overflowing, influenced new thousands to hurry to the park today. A side issue lure was the remote possibility that some of the noble athletes would "start something." The bad feeling which took birth in the second game when the Reds began to "razz" the Sox presages a httle "ftstcufting" upon the slightest provocation. In their odd moments the noble ath letes are figuring up their hoped for shares. Boosting the prices of seats this year has smashed all receipt records. The daily average is around the $100,000 mark and the boys share in he spoils of the first five combats. Despite the fact that a certain portion of the players' share goes to members of the nen pennant-winning clubs, there'll be enough left for the world's series performers to keep a whole pack of wolves from the family threshold. The players share record is slightly more than $4.000 the portion drawn by the 1312 Red Sox. This year the winners wil get approximately $5,000 each, while the losers should take unto themselves no less than $3,500 if the present gate ratio is maintained.

CIGRAND, STAR HALFBACK, BACK WITH PURPLE

There was a rousing cheer on the practice field at Northwestern University yesterday afternoon when Elroy Cigrand, halfback on the team last year, appeared. He was thrown into tho hole at left half which was created by Oie shifting of Ellingwood to quarter. Cigrand was one of the star men in the Furple back field last year. Ligare and Daly, the ends, brought smiles of approval from the coach for their work in receiving forward passes during the practice yesterday.

BT IRVXNO CHATKEN The work of getting ready for the Detroit He raids Sunday went on apaoe yesterday and this afternoon at Parduhn field wher Coach King was rubbing off

some of the rough edges of the Ham

mond eleven. The week's practice un-)

der the guidance of King, the former Harvard Btar has put the team in excellent shape for its first big contest against the Ford town boys, who in their initial appearance last Sunday made a strong showing by winning from the YipsilantT Fros. 33-0. The line of the Bobcats will probably weigh about five pounds to a man heavier than the Heralds' line, while the difference in the backflelds will be about the same. Milton Ghee, who was a camp selection for the All-American team twice in succession, is the only member sure of his position. The shifty quarter-back, since donning a Hammond uniform has shown a world of speed and the team as a whole is ninety per cent stronger with Ghee around the pivot position. Coach King saw his new plays working In order. The Harvard style seem? to be to the liking of the entire crew and they have takfn the plays like a duck does to water. All of the new signals are very simple and it was the first time this year that Farduhn's men haw had anything that looked so easy. The majority of the plays are of the lino plugging formation which usually make a needed down. The Bobcats proteges were rather nervous at the start because near'y every "star has had different football drilled into them. Barrett and Briokly were looking gloomy and it took considerable heartening by the famous King to get them interested, but after the squad started they certainly tore things up. King was in the drill himself, both physicaly and vocally. Xews from Detroit has it that the Heralds have a stronger team than in the past ten years. Practically all of the players on the Detroit team are college performers and the contest will

bring together many stars whose names

William (Kid) Gleason, Whit Sox manager, has teen in major league baseball for over thirty years. He was born at Camden. N. J., Oct. 26, 1865, and began his baseball career in 1886 at Williamsport, Pa. Gleason was a member of the famous Baltimore Orioles and the old St. Louis Browns. In those days ha was a pitcher. The greater part of his career as a player was as second baseman for the Philadelphia Nationals, where he was active until 1906. In 1812 James Callahan, then Sox manager, hired Gleason &m coach and helper. When Callahan was dis missed after the 1914 season, Gleason retired aarain, but in 1916, in nudseason, be was secured to assist Clarence Eovltad and stayed through 1917, the year the Sox wen the world's championship. In 1918 Gleason again was out ox the game, wo hired a manager th.3 yeafr

hurtless punches than any I've seen. Got a nVw hero today. That guy Kerr, the Sox pitcher, is the bird. He's only as tall as a dining room table, but that bird has a heart -as big as a Saratoga trunk. He set the Reds one by one, and never one looked for his corner. The Sox hitting is bothering the Reds these days. In the last two games the Sox have out-hit the Reds more than- two to one. Schalk imitated a monkey on a stick In the fourth -when the umpire called him out as he tried to steal second. He just went nutty with rage. There wasn't one really long hit made all day. In the other games two and three baggers were common. Testerday the athletes Just made the infield work. The crowd was a sort of a bust. Only 29.246 attended the pastime. The rake was $ro.569. Not so hard to take. Kerr, the smallest guy In the gam?, drew the. biggest hand. Luque, who pitched the last few Innings for the Reds, is the first Cuban who ever got into a world series.

have made grid gossip for many seasons. Over fifty Hammond loyal rooters are planning to-go with the team over the Michigan Central. The fans believe that If Farduhn's men can win the Detroit game, they will be ready for anything that other professional teams around here, and there is no tendency to underestimate its gridiron prowess. The fact that the Heralds piled up a score of 39 to 0 against Yipsilanti while Hammond went scoreless against Racine shows that the Michigan pros have a powerful attack in which the forward pass has been perfected. Mentor King announced that his final picking of the eleven that will start tbe Detroit game will be based upon the short practice which the entire crew will get aTter they leave their Pullman berths so local followers who cannot make the trip can rest assured that mo pinochle decks will be on hand when the 10 AS pulls out.

Oct. 4.---Jack Dempsey. world's heavyweight champion, accompanied by his manager, eased into upper grandstand scats just before the big game opened and immediitely the ball park was full of pep.
