Reds Leader With Strings to Fast Youngsters Expects to Land High Place in 1915 Race. CINCINNATI. O., Sept. 2. While the two western contenders for the pennant in the National league the St. Louis and Chicago teams have suffered slight setbacks during the last week, neither team is to be counted an outsider in the battle for the flag which is now raging so fiercely. During the last seven days Boston has occupied first place for a few minutes, and St. Louis was within half a game of that place. But unexpected reverses, combined with victories for the New Yorks, when the Giants were not expected to win, upset the dope and kept McGraw's men in first place. During the present week Chicago and St. Louis will battle with the Reds, while the Bostons are playing in Philadelphia and the New Yorks in Brooklyn. It's still an open race for the "glad rag," with the St. Louis Cardinals and the Bostons as the choice of the local fans, in the order named. Get Good Youngsters. To use an expression common in Btud poker, the Reds' manaseraent is 6aid to have a few aces in the hole, in the matter of inside information on young players who will be drafted from the minor leagues on September 15. Manager Herzog has succeeded in developing his team to a point where two or three men of the right caliber will make it a first division certainty next spring. It is expected that these men will be secured in the draft. In the meantime the Red

leader is doing as much experimenting

as possible, with excellent results

Playing Von Kolnitz at third base is

resulting in the developing of a star on that corner, while as a hitter Von

is sticking right with the big show Herzog also is working Mike Gonza

les, the tall Cuban catcher in every

game, giving him the necessary ex

perience to make him a star for next

season. Two pitchers of class and a hard-hitting outfielder will put the Reds strictly in the running for all

honors next season. To Give Testimonial.

Local base ball enthusiasts intend to show their appreciation of the ability,

stamnia and loyalty of Manager Char

ley Herzog of the Reds by presenting

him with a handsome testimonial on

Sunday, September 13, on which occa

Bion there will be a double header at

Redland field with the St. Louis Car

dinals as the Reds' opponents. Several

hundred dollars have already been subscribed, and additions are being

made to the fund daily, many of these coming from fans in other cities who occasionally visit Cincinnati and who

have been rooting for and admiring the work of the Reds all season. The

committee having charge of the af

fair has established offices in Room

311 of the Chamber of Commerce

wnere comriDuuons to rne tund are being received. The Cardinals, by the way, will be the Reds' opponents on

the next two Sundays, playing one game on Sunday, September 6, and the double header above referred to on

September 13.

REDS REFUSE DATE

IN RICHMOND PARK

National League Team Sets

Prohibitive Price for Ap

pearance in City.

The attempts made by the Rich

Bond club to book the Dayton Central leaguers and the Cincinnati Reds have

been unsuccessful and announcement was made this morning that neither of these teams would appear here this season. The management hoped to get the Reds here for a post season game but the price demanded by the National league team has made it impossible for the local club to sign thorn. Definite word was also received this morning from Dayton relative to the game that was being negotiated for with that team. The schedule as it stands is as follows: September 6 Wiedemanns at Richmond. September 7 Wiedemanns at Richmond. September 13 Connersville at Richmond. September 20 Dennison at Richmond. September 27 Muncie at Richmond. October 4 or 11 Richmond at Muncie (pending.) October 4 or 11 West Covington at Richmond (pending.)

BOARD MAY FORCE TEACHERS TO STAY FOR TERM OF YEAR

That teachers in this county should be required to sign contracts which

would be binding on them and prevent

a teacher from resigning hep position

in the middle of the year, is the opinion of ten members of the county board of education who met in the

county superintendent's office yesterday.

As has been the case during the last few years, there were not enough members of the board present at the

September session to constitute a quo

rum so no business was transacted

Several matters were talked over in

formally.

A conflict in the state law which

requires the board of education to meet September 1 And the advisory

board to the township trustees to meet on the first Tuesday in September cut down attendance. It happens that on

this year, it is the same day for both

The expression regarding teachers' contracts was unanimous on the part of the ten members present this

morning. There are twenty two mem

bers of the board.

It Is probable that this matter will

be acted on definitely at the May

meeting of the board of education.

It was also the opinion of the board

members this morning that the individual tin cups that were supplied to the children should be abolished. They favor the use of the paper sanitary

cups. Sanitary towels have been in

stalled this summer.

Plummer, at Short Stop,

Romps Round Paths a la Ty Cobb. The short stop and the second baseman on the Wiedemanns team which

plays Richmond at the athletic park next Sunday and Monday, are among the fastest players in semi-pro baseball. Wayne Plummer plays at short and has made a wonderful record this season. He is considered one of the heaviest hitters in the team and is extremely fast at base running. In a field meet held at Cincinnati last week, Plummer ran to first base after bunting the ball, in three and two fifths seconds, which is about the rate of a hundred yards in ten seconds. Only the speediest field work can catch him at first after a bunt. Last year he played with the Hopkinsville, Ky., team in the K. I. T. league and was considered the third best player in the entire league. Bill Morrisey plays third base for the Wiedemanns and has made a record for himself. He had an opportunity to enter one of the major leagues this spring but because of his agreement with Manager Applegate, of the Wiedemanns he did not leave the Cincinnati team. Manager Kenney Is expecting the hardest fight of the season Sunday and Monday for like Richmond, the Wiedemanns have been defeated but three times this season, and once by the fast West Covington team. It is believed that they have a much faster team than Dennison, who presented to the Richmond fans the best exhibition of baseball seen on the Richmond diamond this fall.

DONATES SON DIAL Earlham Class Places Gift on

Campus.

A sun dial, which is the gift to Earl

ham college from the class of 1912

has finally been erected on the college

campus.

The dial was placed in the field di

rectly north of Lindley hall, near the observatory on the path leading from

Lindley hall to the north western part of the campus. Before the class of 1912 was graduated from the institution the gift was promised the college and the matter placed in the hands of a committee. The matter was delayed until this summer when the sun dial was ordered and placed in position.

PARIS TOO STRONG FOR KAISER'S TROOPS

BY LEASED WIRE. LONDON, Sept. 2. The Daily Mail's Paris correspondent quotes ex-Premier Clemence as saying: "We are fighting for a great cause which is worthy of great sacrifice.

EDDIE GRANT. During the past few weeks Grant's services in the infield have been invaluable in helping the Giants to hand onto the first

place in the National League. In spite of his long service Grant is still regarded as one of the best infielders in the business and that McGraw has a high opinion of his work is evidenced by the long contract that Grant has just signed.

An engineer who had ear trouble for years finally became so deaf he could

not hear the sound of a steam engine.

bells or voices. After vainly seeking relief he was compelled to give up his position. His case seemed hopeless. His deafness was aggravated by head disturbances, dry catarrh, nervousness and despondency. To the surprise of all, he began to hear and continued improving until he could listen to conversations, could hear a train at a distance and even the singing of birds in the trees. His head and nerves became tranquil. He got his position back again. This was no miracle; no surgery, no artificial hearing device, no electric apparatus, no loss of time.
