EIGHT STRAIGHT WINS ARE RUNG UP BY LEADERS

Reds to Play Double Header

today Win Was Easy at Philadelphia Monday. PHILADELPHIA. Pa., Aug. 26. After one game bad been, called off on account of the activities of that old enemy, J. Pluviua, the Reds went In and broke the season's win record of seven straight by defeating the Phillies' here Monday, 7 to 3, making the eighth consecutive victory for Moran's championship aggregation, and giving the Reds a lead of eight full games over the Giants. The Reds took advantage of the poor fielding offered in support of the Phillie pitcher, and in spite of the fact that Smith allowed but six scattered hits, they plied up a big lead. Poor defensive work started the Reds scoring in the third, and two runs were made on a series of bobbles, and a hit. Th Phils allowed five runs in the seventh on one lone double by Rousch. Three passes were granted !Red swatsmltbs in this round, and with a pair of errors, the game was set for Moran's men. Ruether, who had been pitching good ball until the seventh Inning, blew far into the ethereal realm and walked four men in this round, after one run had already been scored. Ring was then sent to the rescue, and retired the side with no further damage. A Phil rally in the ninth was cut short by a slow roller from Luderus, which was easily managed by Heinle Groh. Double Header Today.

Because of the rain yesterday, a dou

ble header will wind up the eastern series today, with Ring and Eller offering the hurling for the Reds, and Rlzey and Hogg tor the Phils. Rizey has been a hard problem for the Reds this season, but Manager Moran is confident that his team can come through with another victory, cow that the seven game hoodoo has been eliminated. The Reds have been playing with the breaks all during their eastern series, and with a continual exhibition of championship style, and a good sprinkling of luck, it will be hard to figure just when they will stop their winning 6treak. The Giants were forced to layoff Monday and the Reds again stepped up to an eight-game lead. A double bill is also scheduled for the Polo grounds, making it possible to add two more full games to the Reds' lead. Following today's games, the Reds will go back to the west, and will complete the season without having another eastern Journey. The score at Philadelphia Monday: R. H. E. Cincinnati 002 000 5007 fi 0 Philadelphia 000 100 2003 9 3 Reuther, Ring and Wingo; G. Smith and. Tragesser.

At present they are 19 points higher than when the trip started. The

Giants are now one point lower than when they started their series at home, and the best record they can make will be to gain five points in the borne series. v

A double loss today would mean that the Giants would drop back 13 points

from their standing on August 10.

Yesterday's Results

HEINIE GROH, WHO DATES FROM 1913, IS OLDEST RE D IN POINT OF SERVICE

Heinle Groh has been a member of the Reds longer than any of the other players. He Joined the Cincinnati team In 1913. In point of age, Sallee and Daubert are oldest players now working under Pat Moran. Each has celebrated his

thirty-fourth birthday. Ray Fisher-i

is thirty-two and Sherwood Magee was thirty-three last week. Ivy Wingo has been catching for the Reds since 1915. Rariden is another, veteran who has been playing big league ball since 1912. Reuther, Ring, Eller, Rath Kopf, Roush and Neale are comparatively young mn, who have developed rapidly since the new Miracle Man succeeded Christy Mathewson at the helm. In the early days of the season, when the Giants' pennant chances were brightest, it seemed as if the power that lay in their bats might carry McGraw's men to the championship in spite of mediocre pitching. When It came to the test when the club had either to clinch its hold on first place or slip back under the force of the Red attack it was the Giants' hitting and not he pitching that failed to hold up. A glance at recent lists of the National league batting averages tells the story in compact and irrefutable form. According to these figures, during the week ending last Thursday, Larry Doyle lost 7 points, George Burns lost 5, Ross Young goined 1, Hal Chase lost 6. Benny Kauff lost 17, Arthur Fletcher lost 11, Heinle Zimmerman gained 3, Al Baird lost 8. Mike Gonzales lost 12, and Frank Snyder did not either gain or lose. It will be seen at a glance that only two of the men counted upon to do a bit of hitting behind the pitching which the club is now receiving succeeded in bettering their average over the span of a week a week that meant much to them and their pennant hopes and which led up to the all important series with the Reds. Young's slight gain marked a halt in a disastrous and unexplainable slump into which the Texas flyer tumbled some time ago and in the course of which' he sliDDed from a

nitslKnn 4 Via tVtlnlr nf tVia fl rrVi f ni. !

the league's batting honors right out of the .300 class.

Young Is at a loss for an explanation of his failure to hit at thepace he set for himself at the start f the

season. However, he has continued to plug away at the ball and though he has lost a number of hits recently because of excellent plays on the part of opposing fielders, he apparently is getting back to his normal stride. One of the few players to hold his own with the willow, as the figures indicate, is the Great Zim, who has been moved up to the cleanup position in the batting order. Heinle is not slamming the ball as he did two years ago, when he virtually batted the Giants to a pennant, but he is doing pretty well just now. Chase had risen from obscurity to the .300 class in a Bix weeks' drive, but slumped for the simple reason that an injury to his right wrist, sustained in the recent series in St. Louis, made it impossible for him to properly grip a bat. There is no logical reason for the failure of the other members of the club to hit in the manner expected of them.

In the only match of singles played Monday, Isley beat Bill Keys in two fast and well played matches. 6-1, 6-1. These games were much better than the score would indicate, but Keys was out of luck when it came to making the deciding points of the game.

SEVERAL TEAMS IN VIEW FOR SUNDAY

No game has been scheduled for tlie Quakers for Sunday, August. 31, as yet. although Manager Sam Vigran, has been trying to book a game with the Indianapolis A. B. C.'s. This team has sent no word, as to its ability to play here. Sunday, and if no word is received by Wednesday, another team will be booked. Who this will be Is not known, but

several nines attracted by the record ; of the locals are trying to secure i dates. The Dayton Lilly Brews and I the' Connersville Reserves are the , most persistent. j Oakley, champions of the city league in Cincinnati, would show Richmond j some real opposition, but as this team ! has no out of town dates available,

it will probably be impossible to get a game with them. Centerville will not be played, said Vigran.

Follow Her Advice on Shoes

Two thirds of our lives are spent "on shoes" and most men will do well to follow the advice of some woman on where to buy the best values. Women either buy or influence tha purchase of well over 85 per cent of all such family necessities as well as luxuries. This insures the certainty of incomes going farther; satisfaction from service, style, fit, comfort, wear and value per dollar paid. Women do not purchase haphazardly or hastily, as men

are inclined to do. War needs tore into shreds old standards in shoe values. But new

standards have token the place of old, as the shoe makers well know and advise. Those posted say that the wise shoe purchaser will anticipate needs for several months at present prices. Remember that over 2,000,000 heroes are returning rapidly to civilian dress requirements and that they are not going to tramp longer on Army and Navy leather.

This alone will

tax the supply of quality ' shoe leather and labor. For all the family's shoes look first for seasonable offerings in these columns.
