CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 7. Brooklyn took two of the Red's best pitchers, and made them look like school boys

In the second contest of the Red-Su

perba series Wednesday afternoon at

Red Field, with the result that they

lost a game, 6 to 1. Leon Cadore, for

the Robins, had "our boys" on his staff all the time, and had it not been for a boot In the final round the Reds

would have been shut out.

Slim Sallee, who defeated the Giants fell flat before the attack of the Flatbush nine, and after two rounds, dur

ing which distressing period Brook

lyn took home four runs with the seven hits that they slammed out, Ray Fisher took Sal's place, but lasted

not Quite as long as Slim. The Su-

pejbas slammed out five hits off Ray's

delivery. Luque Holds 'Em.

And then came Luaue, but he came

too late to do any real good, as the

Superba's already had a six run lead

and the Red hitters were helpless with Cadore's curve ball. The Red's only run was made In the ninth Inning,

when Griffith made a beautiful boot

of Groh's high one.

After Manager Moran discovered

that he would be unable to win, he allowed Charlie See to romp over the garden for awhile, and gave Rube Bressler a few hours' rest. See made a fairly good exhibition, but muffed

his only chance In the field.

Brooklyn finishes here Thursday

and then the Reds have a series with

Philadelphia. In the meanwhile, how-

oyer, the Giants have lost two straight

to the Cards, and from St. Louis they

FEW CHANGES MADE IN LOCAL LINEUP

Little change win be made up In the llne-up of the Richmond baseball club In its game with the Indianapolis

All Stars at Exhibition park next Sunday, according to Manager Vigran, of the local club. Although Gib Hunt, former first baseman for tho club, will not appear in next Sunday's game, his successor, John Holmes, is expected to be equally as strong on the Initial corner, and to keep up the strength of the team. Holmes is ono of the stars of tho S. A. League and for he first half of the season played with the All Stars, of the Detroit Commercial league, an organization similar to the S. A. L. Holmes can cover a lot of ground around the Initial sack, and is a bear with the stick. He throws and bats right handed, and when with the S. A. L. in former years, was one of the leading bitters of the league. Reddinghaus, regular third sacker, may be able to get In Sunday's game. Reddinghaus has been out for two weeks with a badly spiked knee, but his injuries are almost healed, and he will make an effort to get in condition for Sunday's game. With Reddinghaus in the game, one of the infiloders will probably relieve Roop, a reserve pitcher. In right field.

battle, has had no serious slump at 8ny time and has constantly delivered the goods. The Reds do not look so strong on paper as at least three other clubs in the league, and possible four, but Manager Moran has succeeded in developing the latent strength of the club to its fullest powers and the consistent work of the club has been the baseball surprise of the year. At first base Jake Daubert is an old-timer who was supposed to have outlived his best years, but who has been playing the best ball of his career. When Jake came here it was said that his legs were In bad shape, and

Contention In the Commercial league over the use of S. A. L. and semi-pro players was finally brought to a head in the game scheduled between the Postoffice and the Palladium at Exhibition park Wednesday evening. After Manager Pickett, of the Postoffice, refused to play without Don Long and Vern Eubank, Manager Suits, or the Palladium, withdrew his men from the field. Prior to the game. Manager Suits notified the Postoffice management

that the Palladium, which is the only team in the league that has not violated players' rules this year, that if either Long or Ewbanks were used, would ask for a forfeit of the game. Wednesday night both of these men appeared on the field, and it was announced that they Intended to play with the Postoffice. Rules Generally Violated. The postmen argued that other teams in the league had violated the player rule in using S. A. L. men, but in no single instance could be found where this rule was violated by the Palladium. Manager Suits has played only men employed in the Palladium office, who have never played in the S. A. L. or in semi-pro baseball during the entire season. Neither Long or Ewbanks are employed at the postoffice, although Manager Pickett claimed the right to use Long on the grounds that he handled mail at the Pennsylvania station. Ew. banks is in no way connected with the postoffice. Manager Hodge, of the A. S. M., supported the stand taken by Manager Suits, and declared that in as much

CHANCE PREDICTED KORAN'S SUCCESS Frank Chance was the first baseball man to predict the managerial success of Patrick Moran, who threatens to win the National league pennant with the Reds. Chance, when he handled the Cubs, had Moran and Tom Needbam, both catchers, on his team. Later, when Chance took hold of the Yankees In 1913, he vainly tried to obtain Moran as a coach. Moran was helping Charley Dooin, manager of th Phillies, at that time, and the Quaker owners refused to let Pat go. "Moran will be a great manager some day!" said Chance when the Phillies had turned down his offer. "He knows baseball is a hard worker and is well liked by the players, bocause he Is fair and square. Needham, too, will make good in the big leagues if he gets an opportunity." Needless to add that Chance still is pulling for Moran, and also is wondering why Needham is idle.

RECORD SUGAR CROP.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7. The sugar crop of Cuba this year is expected to break all records, according to Gabriel G. Menocal, brother of tha President of Cuba, who arrived here today from Havana on the Ward liner Mexico, accompanied by members of his family. Mr. Menocal asserted that because of abundant rains this season the crop next year also will be very large.

FLOUR PRICES UNCHANGED

refused to discuss the matter with either Manager Hodge or Manager Suits.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 7. There was no appreciable change in the price of flour here today. High grade patent flours were quoted at $11.10 to $11.60 a barrel in carload lots, and a dollar higher for broken carloads. Millers here denied knowledge of any movement contemplated by the
