'ITTSBURGH. Pa.. Aug. 80. After

a hree day tour of exhibition con

tas, the Reda arrived here Friday

nflit, and will start on the big sche-

die -with a game against the Pirates,

Sturday afternoon at Forbes field. The Reds closed their tour of the bib.es yesterday afternoon in a close gme with the Klein Chocolate compny, of Harrisburg, which Rube Bressir managed to pitch to a 4 to 3 etory. Manager Moran is not anticipating te usual slump on the Reds following alayoff in the big ring, as the team hs had plenty of practice on all three ays of the layoff, and In Friday's ame, every regular with the exception i Harry Kopf played the entire contBt. Heinle Groh, pilot in the tour h rough Pennsylvania managed the teds in a satisfactory manner, and he usual bugbear of accidents on exdbitlon games did not hit the team. With New York's victory over the Dodgers Friday afternoon, the Red's place on the top of the league was weakened slightly, although they still have a lead of eight and a half games. With this lead, the team can afford to lose several games, as the Giants have been unusually ragged during the last two weeks, and are liable to lose many of the remaining games on their schedule. Following the game at Pittsburgh, today, the Reds will come home for a Sunday game against the same team. Cincinnati fans have already begun their preparations to welcome the dash inp; Reds, and the homecoming Sunday promises to be oue of the biggest ever offered a baseball club in the big circuit. The team has been playing- brilliant baseball on their entire eastern trip, and has lost only three games. - Another victory over the Pirates this afternoon will only help to add to the joy of the already frpnz'ed Red fans. Either Ring or Ruether will start against the Pirates Saturday, and Slim Sallee la booked to hurl the homecoming game Sunday. In case it rains at Pittsburgh, both games will be played at Cincinnati Sunday afternoon.

Simmons and Eversman managed to win the third set 6-4 and the fourth set went to the older players, 6-. 1 ne sets were so hard fought and so much time was consumed in three sets, that by ih fourth, it was almost impossible to see the balls but as Eversman is leaving town today, the set. was played. Before entering into the finals with Simmons and Eversman. Isley and Holaday disposed of Haberkern and Holland in two sets, 6-1 and 6-4. The singles championship was to be decided Saturday.

Williams and Cicotte of White Sox, Hardest Worked Pitchers in Old or New Circuits

fSJTj Vr r mji

Clauds Williams, at left, and Eddie Cicotte.

Quite a bit has been said about Kid Gleason. manager of the White Sox, having a pitching problem. That'B all bunk. All Gleason has to do before the game every day is to get Claude Williams and Eddie Cicotte together and eay: "Which one of you bird3 wanta to pitch today? One of you has got to pitch if we win this ball game." Then Claude looks at Eddie and Eddie at Claude. Then Gleason says: "That's mighty fine of you, Eddie (or Claude), to offer to pitch out of your turn again. Go to it." Have Pitched Most Garnet The idea being that Williams and Cicotte have carried the bulk of the burden on the mound for Gleason in the pennant fight to date. The fact that the White Sox are leading the league and have the inside track on

the pennant speaks well for the ac

ceptable way they have carried said

burden.

The figures are changing daily, of course, but generally speaking the two

pitchers talked of, have won two-thirds

of Gleason's wins. Th'.y have pitched at a .700 gate to do ii. And between them they have lost less than eighteen games. They are easily the hardest working pitchers in the league, if not in the majors, this season. Gleason has tried frantically to get someone to assist them. He grabbed up Grover Loudermilk recently, when that wild man was offered at the waiver price, and then gobbled Bill James when the Braves gave him his release. Mayer, old Philly pitcher, is on the White Sox roster, too, and has been doing his best to make a runningmate for Claude and Eddie. But Wilaims and Cicotte seem to be the only ones able to win consistently.

GOOD BASEBALL IS PROMISED; GAMES ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY

COUNTY GAMES FOR SUNDAY AND LABOR DAY Sunday Richmond Al-Stars at Centerville. Liberty M. K. at Lynn. Greensfork at Whitewater. Richmond Senators at Boston. Eaton at Eldorado. Monday Greensfork at Hagerstown. Eldorado at liberty. Richmond Athletics at Eaton. Several good baseball games throughout the country and near vicinity are promised for Sunday and Monday. Much interest is attached to the Richmond All-Star-Centerville game. Both of these teams, backed with a good record and composed of good ball players, want the championship of Wayne County and Sunday's game will give the fans an insight as to the playing abilities of the two. Sturm, who shut out the strons Connersville Reserves last Sunday, w ill be in the box for Centerviile and he expects to duplicate this feat. McConaha will probably do the pitching for the All-Stars. Greensfork vs. Whitewater. Another hot game is promised, when Greensfork travels to Whitewater to avenge last week's defeat. Nicholson will hurl for Greensfork, while Breeze pitches for the home team. Labor Day, Greensfork plays a double header at Hagerstown. For the first lime this season the Liberty Miller-Kempers will play at Lynn. The outcome of this game Is doubtful as little is known of the strength of Lynn. Monday, the MillerKempers play Eldorado a double header at Liberty. Eaton will play at Eldorado Sunday and a good game is promised, as there is always considerable rivalry between these teams. For Labor Day, Eaton, has scheduled a game with the Richmond Athletics, at Eaton. The Richmond Senators will furnish the attraction at Boston Sunday when they hook up with the strong C. and O. team. It is thought that the railroaders will furnish the Senators considerable opposition.

First Belgian Ambassador to U. S. Is on Way Over BRUSSELS, Aug. 30. Baron Emil de Cartier de Marchienne left Brussels yesterday for Washington as the first Belgian Ambassador to the United States.

Baron de Cartier de Marchienne has since February 1, 1917, been Belgian minister at Washington, the office having been raised to the rank of an embassy recently. He was a member of the supreme economic council of the peace conference and was charged with the study of a plan for the liqidation of the world's food control. He also represented Belgium on the interallied commission on reparations. He was married to Mrs. Hamilton Cary of New York in Paris, on July 16 last.

DAVIS, MAGICIAN, KEEPS KIDDIES AND ELDERS WONDERING

Davis, the magician, came Friday evening! The Chautauqua had been waiting for him nearly two weeks with all the anticipation that the entire audience worked up after he had woven them into the magic of his performance. Ability to do the near-mystic and the absolutely inexplicable is certainly Davis's posession. "I've only had two hours sleep in five day," Davis said, just before the last act of his performance, when he unties himself from a chair to which, a gentleman from the audience, has fastened him with a dozen knots, and when he extricates himself and then returns to a heavy bag and trunk in which he is handcuffed and tied with ropes. And he was perparing for all this by standing back-stage with a cigarette in his mouth and attempting to stay awake.

He did his last act with record speed at that. It took him exactly

3 seconds to get out of the trunk. Was It Davis?

Of course, a lot of skeptics whisper

ed that it wasn't Davis at all who appeared at the end of these three seconds and others believed that he

had an opening in the bottom of the trunk, likewise in the bag, that the ropes were elastic and the handcuffs weren't really locked, etc, etc., although the gentleman from the audience had pulled the ropes, tested the handcuffs, and Davis himself had kicked every side of the trunk inside and out. But many of the children Just sit and believed it is as It is been themselves. Producing the 10 of clubs from an

j egg, interned in a perfectly evident i lemon, pouring dry sand of one color

out of his wet hand which had gathered the sand from a pitcher of water in which three colors of sand had been thrown; snatching hens from frying pans one inch and a quarter high, and producing rabbits from paper mache. all come in the game with Davis.

Why This Mighty Thousands Know, But Do Not Appreciate The Extent of Its Leadership

aspect For Essex

R

It is like reminding the average reader of something he already knows to speak of Essex leadership. Its position as a popular car filling a heretofore unoccupied field, is accepted as a matter of fact. By word and attitude all motordom acknowledges its position. But let us consider the reasons for Essex prestige. You will probably say it is because of its performance. You compare its general appearance and performance with the admirable qualities of other cars. You place no price limit on those cars to which you compare the Essex. It is because the Essex so nearly matches the standards you hold as your ideal, that it is a leader. Essex Matches Ail Requirements There is ample evidence in every locality to account for what people are saying for the Essex. It has spoken for itself, just as we announced it would have to do at the time it was put on the market.It isn't necessary for us to say how fast an Essex can be driven. We don't need to speak of its performance on hills or its comfort and riding qualities. The car has proved itself.

And 10,000 owners are daily giving theb cars opportunities to prove Essex worth. Added to that are close to half a million motorists who voice their admiration. The most conservative and critical person having knowledge of the Essex is its sponsor. Time Is Revealing Another Quality It is showing that the Essex stands up under hard service. It retains the qualities which have created the respect with which it is held. Squeaks and rattles are not so common. It is rigid and powerful. Little attention is required to keep the Essex in smooth running condition. Every day's use adds to the regard owners have for the Essex. So Be Guided By What People Say The best place to find out about the Essex if among those who have had their cars for some time and from the thousands who know Essex performance. . Come see what the Essex can do. If you don't know the Essex, ask your neighbor or come to us and take a ride. . Judge Essex qualities for yourself and remember that sales are so large it will be well for you to place your order as far in advance of the time you will require delivery, as it will bf possible for you to do.
