CINCINNATI, Aug. 2. For the first time since fans of the present day can remember, the Reds are In firsit place In the National league on the first of August. The Reds have no better team, other than the manager, than they hare had in other years, but Pat has been mak

ing the boys step lively, and now, witH almost two-thirds of the games played they are on the top of the league, and are playing better ball than they have at any time during this season. They took first place In Friday's game, by handing Fred Toney, the Giants' best pitching hope, a ticket to the shower baths after five innings, and with an even break on the rest of the games with the Giants will send Protest John away with a berth fcelow to the top of the league. 13,000 People at Game. There were 13,000 persons at the park Friday, in spite of the fact that a downpour threatened to cancel the contest. This was a larger crowd than the Reds played to at home at any time during the 1918 season, and forecasts a gathering that will break all records for Sunday, when the Giants wind up their series in Cincy. For the first three innings of Friday's game, it was a close contest be- , tween Toney and his opponent, Jimming Ring. Toney was the first to break, however, and in the fourth, two Reds came romping home on a pass, a wild pitch and a pair of singles. This performance was repeated in the fifth, and Toney was yanked from the box. But it was too late, and

Manager Moran caught Ring before the Giants had time to overcome the

Reds' lead in the sixth, allowing Hod Eller to finish the game.

rnaay s victory gave tne Keds a margin of seven points over the Giants and unless the Reds bobble. McGraw

will depart from Cincinnati Monday without the league lead in his posses

sion.

Upon the outcome of the present

penes, which includes a game Satur

day and one Sundav, depends largely the championship of the league. The Reds have an opportunity to increase

their lead to 30 points, by winning three garrnes in this series. If they

win two, the lead will be pubbed down

to 18 points, and if losing two of the three, they will be four points behind

the Giants.

Buy Outfielder President Herrman announced during Friday's game that he had purchased Outfielder Charley See, from the Rochester club of the International league. See is claimed by the Red scout to be a sure winner. He is a pitcher, but. on account of his ability with the bat, has been playing in the outfield. Cueto, a Red second string catcher, and $10,000, is said to be the price paid for See. Considerable interest is being taken in Saturday's game owing to the added attraction of Moran-K. C. celebration. Pat, who is a member of the K. of C will be the recipient of the Cincinnati lodge's well wishes, and a handsome present, which will be presented by Governor Cox, during Saturday's frame. Following is a score of Friday's contest: R. H. E. New York 000 002 0002 7 1 Cincinnati 000 222 OOx 6 11 0 Tony, Dubuc, Oeschger and McCarty; Ring, Eller and Wingo.

be held In Chicago, on the grounds of

the South Shore Country club, Aug. ll-15th, 1919. One thousand men and women will throw their hats into the trapshooting arena at that time. One will be chosen. Every state in the union, will have a representative champion present, the greatest galaxy of shooting stars, ever gathered In one consteltion. The winning of this premier iassic is the objective goal of every ontestant, who is a devotee of tb trigger tickling art. Successful wing shooting is now recognized in high art circles.

will-power, concentration, self control, poise and accuracy, all are contributing factors of success. Trapshots are tempermental, but must

couple stability with latent emotions. Landing the Grand American Handicap, features not only the winner but his club and home town. Many unheralded cities, have been placed squarely on the map, by the shooting success of some one of their citizens. Crosby. Gilbert, Powers, Voorhees, Arie, Kneussel, Ridley, King, Elbert, Wettleaf, Hoon, Larson, Frink, Henry and hosts of others, have spot lighted their home towns. The writer by a stroke of good fortune, twice landed the G. A. H., hence feel privileged to comply with numer

ous requests of prospective contestants, to outline for them a course of procedure, in training and intelligent practice. Winning the G. A. H. is a possiblity with every contestant now entered. Here is a bumper of hope that suggestions offered may be of personal benefit to some good sportsman. As a first proposition, secure a twelve gauge gun that fits you. Don't attempt to shoot any old gun, because it has been a winner in the hands of others. Test, until you find a load, making a nice even pattern, giving results, without distressing or pounding you

when fired. Immediately start a campaign of intelligent practice, which will increase efficiency, imbue you with confidence, improving your accuracy with every shot fired. This can be accomplished through concentration, thought and study. Guns and ammunition, as now furnished are the acme of perfection. Sat-

your gun is properly directed

Shoot every target, with mind centered upon your practice. Accept target losses as an error in judgment eliminate all alibis try to arrive at a sensible solution, which will obviate reoccurrence of your mistakes. Do

not go to co-contestants with hard luck stories or cater for sympathy, when you have lost a bird, it is impossible for them to win, until yourself in conjunction with all others, have scored one or more misses. They are internally glad you are out of the running. The Grand American will be held in August, a sure hot month, you should inure yourself to excessive heat and sun influence. Harden your shoulder. Train every muscle utilized in gun

manipulating, for a hard contest. Advantageous results may be attained by continuous home or fireside training in gun handling. Sketch upon the mirror in your room an imaginary target, devoting time both morning and evening, swinging your gun, with accurate pointing, at the mirrored object, until you have eliminated much of the muscle strain,

soreness and weariness, experienced on your first efforts. When you are contesting in major events, indifference with mental loss of personality, become necessary. If you finish one of the high guns, yaur mental and physical strain become prodigious, you will be at whipcord tension, with a marked tendency to over anxiety, v hich is sometimes branded "nervousness." At this stage you must apply the mental brake, brace up, pull yourself together for the final. Your one best asset is complete self-control. Final results are dependent upon yourself. Team work is out of the question. Friends may "pull," you alone must execute. The ability to control, coach and handle yourself, accepting the

psychological moment to swallow, is : your only winning salvation. The cru- j cial moment! When you will be call-)

ed upon to shoot the last target in , the main event or contest in a tiei with other top-note hers. j You must then forget the crowd they are watching you only for results which you must deliver. If defeat-1 ed don't inject overworked excuses;

snuff it up, look pleasant, be a good loser, any tyro can be an easy "winper. If you are successful. Well:, The world loves a winner. Every contestant has an open chance to win this premier classic of the world. Pack your gun, make the pilgrimage to Chicago, you will be made welcome. The writer declares you more than a possibility.

Pat Moran

The "Miracle Man" appears to be living up to his reputation and John McGraw, the Iron Man of the Giants, has every reason to worry about his chances for winning the pennant. Taking a mediocre team, one that had never been within a mile of the top of the lead after the first month of the season, and putting them on the top of the ladder on August 1, is the work accomplished by Pat Moran for the Reds. He intends to keep them there. SLIM SALLEE, LONG LEAN PITCHER FROM OHIO, PARTLY TO THANK FOR REDS' CLIMB

Motor Track Takes Place Of Oldtime Farm Wagon The old farm wagon has been discarded for the motor truck, Wayne county farmers declare. One farmer says, "I can haul four loads of produce to town with my truck while before I could haul only one load In the same time, and the four loads cost less than the one did." Truck gardeners are also taking to the truck as the quickest means of f. transporting produce.

lean, laconic gentleman irom uie Ohio farm lands who will bear close scrutiny. Harry Sallee, more frequently referred to as "Slim" or "Sheriff" though he never did any sheriffing to amount to anything is the gentleman in question. The long limbed southpaw so the records say obtained his first minor league engagement back in 1905 with the Meridian club of the Cotton States league. He was a trifle too good for the boys in that league, and in June for his first season was sold to the Birmingham club of the Southern association. There he remained until the fall of 1906, when he was picked up by the Yankess. Lacking experience, he was released to the Willianisport club of the TriState league the following spring and that summer was drafted by the Cardinals. Sal stayed in St. Louis for nearly nine years, and just when the Mound City fans had begun to consider him a fixture he grew tired

of the town and announced that he

didn't care to play there any more. John McGraw saw in the big pitcher's indisposition an opportunity to strengthen the Giants and bought his release. The Sheriff served faithfully under the Giant leader for two years and a half and then decided to retire from baseball. Just before the Reds started south this spring, Pat Moran, seeking to bolster his pitching staff, persuaded Sallee. who had received his release from the Giants, to join his club. In coming to terms with Moran, Sal took into account only the fact that Cincinnati is but forty miles from Higginsport. It scarcely occurred to him, or to Tat either, at that time, that the Reds might break into the 1919 world's series. At any rate, Sal has given of his best to the Cincinnati pilot and is in no small way responsible for the sem-'ional rise of the club.

It have been that when Sal broke mio baseball he tried to Ihwow

every ball past the batter. Certain it is that in recent seasons he has registered on an average about half the number of strikeouts he used to hang up. The passing years have endowed him with more craftiness in a pitching way than usually comes to a player, and one of the lessons he has learned is to try to make his opponents hit the ball where he wants them to. For this reason he frequently allows nine or ten hits in the course of a game, but out of the nine or ten safe swats the opposing club is lucky to draw one or two runs. He lets the boys hit the ball, but he doesn't let

them hit very hard when they have meii on the fases. This system is not original with Sal Christy Mathewson was an able exponent of it a few years ago but he is following it with excellent results.

The stage is all set for tomorrow's game with Connersville. With the j Fayette county ball tossers coming up with threats of an easy victory it looks like the Richmond boys will have to be up qn their toes every minute to bring home the bacon. Elliott, . Connersville's pitcher, is going strong this season and has pitched some excellent ball. He formerly pitched for the Muncie and Farmland teams and they are recognized as two of the best semi-pro clubs in the state: He has a firstclass receiver in Smith, and the two are working nicely together. The rest of the club are all semi-pro or have had minor league experience. Minner for Richmond The ability of the Richmond boys is well known. With Pete Minner on the mound and going good the Quaker ball tossers expect to bring home another game on the right side of the percentage column. Roop, another strong twirler will be held in reserve and for utility purposes. Bull Gray, the little catcher that Richmond is depending on for the backstop work, will surely be in the game Sunday as he has notified

the club that he will be here. The prices for the grandstand seats have been reduced. Returns of the Cincinnati and New York game will be announced by innings. A good crowd is expected. The game will be called at 2:30.
