EAST CONCEDES PENNANT; REDS STAY ON TOES

CONTROL IS SECRET OF SUCCESS OF RED PITCHERS: FEW WALKS GIVEN

First-string Athletes Kept in Game s on Barn-Storming Trip Game Saturday. IN THE BUSHES, Pa.. Aug. 28. "While Pat Moran's champions are stirring about the bushes, hitting 'em up -against the "Ole Home Team." fans ,11 over the country are rushing the Cincinnati management In an effort to make reservations for World series tickets. Pat still has his athletes trained to absolute silence about the world series, and none of the team has started counting his world series coin, although even the bitter New York fans are preparing to bet that Chicago will win the series. Knowing that the Reds are usually defeated after a layoff, Manager Moran is keeping all of his first string athletes in the game on the present barnstorming trip, with the recaption of a part of the battery, which has been, given a layoff and will not report to the team until Saturday. Won In 1882. Red fans have started plunging into baseball history with the purpose in -mind of finding out Just-what the noble Reds have done in the past in the way of pennant winning, and now comes the record of the American Association for the year 1882 which gives the following standing for the end of the season: Clubs Won Lost Pet.

Cincinnati 56 25 688 Athletics 41 34 .54Y Louisville 41 37 .526

Allegheny 39 39 .500

St. Louis 36 42 .462

Baltimore 19 54 .260

The Reds are now sixteen points

anead or their top figure in that standing, and with the team playing the Bame brand of baseball, bid fair to remain in the .700 column until the end

of the season. Moran has cautioned a.'l of his men against reckless playing that would mean an accident, and a possible loss of the league pennant. The team, in spite of the fact that it has been playing a brand of baseball far above the average, is still unable to do without anyone of the regulars, and an accident, particularly in the infield, would mean a decided loss Next Game Saturday. The Reds play their next championship contest at Pittsburg Saturday, and then both teams travel to Redville for a Sunday contest, for which a record crowd is expected. Every seat in the field has been sold, and it is estimated that several thousand admission tickets have already been purchased by fans who dis llks the idea of standing in line at the box office. ROOUE PLAYERS OF WHOLE U.S. ENTERED IN NEW PARIS MEET , ' Officials of the Interstate Roque "'Tournament, now being held at New Paris, Ohio, say that from all indications, this tournament will be the larger in point of attendance, that they have ever had. The players entered in the tournament are divided Into three classes, first, second, and third, the best players In the first class the most ex

perienced in the third class, with the fair players in the second class. Each i plays every entry In his class, and the man with the best score in games won. is declared winner. For the winner of the respective classes, a medal is given and the . holder can keep the medal in his pos-' session for a year, without challenge, j but at the end of the year, he must , give the medal up to the winner of I the turnament, providing he doesn't win the tournament himself. The medal, which the winner of the first class receives, bears the name I of the Anderson medal, the medal for the second class is known as the Holly ; medal and the medal for the third class, is known as the Worley medal, i Will Play for Medal I A Diamond medal was donated to the organization In 1917. Anyone in the club can challenge the holder of this medal, and if he wins, he holds the medal in his possession until challenged and beaten. W. A. Rounds, of Cleveland, Ohio, Is the present holder of this medal, , but he has been challenged for it by; Dr. C. W. Davis, of Newcastle, Pennsylvania. They will play about Sep- j tember 3.

The most valuable asset in a successful hurler's repertoire is control. Without it a slabster encounters no end of difficulty in winning games. A twller may have a world of speed and curves galore, but, what good is all that if he wants to hurl the ball where he wants it to go? In short, control is the secret of successful pitching in leagues big and leagues small. The Reds are the prospective winners of the National league pennant, but had Manager Moran neglected to spend many weary hours In teaching Eller. Ructher, Ring and other member or the hurling department the art of controlling the ball Cincinnati fans would not be preparing to witness the big games in their city. Last season Eller was considered a good pitcher and Ring was only a mediocre slabster. Each possessed ability, but much of their effectiveness was lost because they would not control what they had. Along cam? Pat Moran and his wisdom, and now the pair are among the best in the major leagues. Last season Eller in thirty-seven games -issued fifty-nine passes and Ring walked forty-eight men in twenty-one games. This season it. has been difficult for any, opposing batters to reach first via the base on ball route while they are pitching, and the same Is true of the other members of Moran's staff. The recent games played at the Polo grounds and Ebbets' field by the Reds offers a good example of the control of the hurlers. A total of

ten games was played, six with the Giants, and four with Brooklyn, i In the games Eller, Ruether. Fisher, Ring, Salee, Bressler ahd Luque pitched at least one frame, and the only member of the staff who did not

get Into a contest was Mitchell, a

young right hander. In the ten contests a total of 353 batters were pitched to and only nine were walked to first base. That is an average of less than "one walk a game. Only one batter earned the distinction of being purposely passed, and he is Larry Doyle, who stepped to the plate In the fourteen-inning contest at the Polo grounds aa a pinch hitter. Jimmy Ring, who owes nearly all his success to Pat Moran's words of wisdom, hurled the game for the Reds, and it was the only pass he Issued during the long battle. In the series with the Robins that followed the Polo grounds contests, Ring did not allow a run to be scored off him, and Ed Koney was the only man to draw a pass. Ring limited the Robins to three widely scattered hits, two of which were of the scratchy variety. In the game Hod Eller hurled against the Robins he did not issue a single pass to first base. In that contest Eller duplicated the perfect control displayed by the veteran Slim Sallee, in a previous game of the series. In the first game of the series at Ebbets" field, Walter Reuther displayed perfect, control and only six hits were made off him and the Robins were shut out..
