CHICAGO SERIES TUCKED AWAY BY COMING CHAMPS
Grover Alexander, Premier Twirler of League, Easily Defeated Yesterday. RED-GIANT STANDING
W. L. Pet. Win Lose Reds 84 37 .694 .696 . .689
Giants 73 42 .635 .638 .629
CHICAGO, Sept. 4-Having found that it is just as easy to win ball games in the first inning as ia the last, the Reds started early to pound the delivery of Grover Alexander in
the final contest of the season here
yesterday afternoon, and won, 6 to 1
Cub fans had predicted that the Reds would go against some real speed when Alexander was slated to pitch, but the Reds proved that speed from
pitchers means nothing to coming
champions, and before Grover had a chance to settle down to business in
the opening round, they bad a collec tion of four large tallies.
Walter Reuther's slants proved to
be a puzzle to the Cub hitters, and
with the exception of Flack, who
gathered three safeties, he had them
all on bis list. The Cubs made their
lone marker In the first round on
Flack's triple and an infield out.
Four runs, however, did not seem
sufficient for Pat Moran's hustlers, so they collected two more in the third, and finished the scoring for the
game. Win Chicago Series
By winning yesterday's game the
Reds made it three victories out of
four tries in the series. They lost the
opening round Monday morning, but
came back for the next three games
and won.
Yesterday's contest gives the Reds the better end of the season's series with the Cubs, Cincinnati having won
9 and lost 7 games. This ia the closest margin that the Reds have played with any other team in the league. - Tomorrow the Reds start against St. Louis, and the club does not anticipate any trouble against this agin thirteen games played against the Cardinals this season, the Reds have won twelve and lost only one, and they expect to maintain this average, at least in the next series, which will wind up the season for the Reds at St. Louis. Following a four game series, the Reds will return to Cincinnati for the remainder of the season, stopping for an exhibition game at Richmond, Ind-, on the way. The score of yesterday's contest: Cincinnati 400 200 0006 8 0 Chicago 100 000 0001 5 2 Ruether and Wingo; Alexander and Kiilifer.

According to recent fiirures the
outfield of the nennant-favorite
Cincinnati Reds is the weakest hittins: bunch of gardeners representing the three leading clubs in the fight for the N. L. bunting. Roush is the only .300 hitter. Neale is batting around .268 and the best
Magee and Bressler can do is to bat over .200, averaging just ten points above that figure. But the fielding of the Red gardeners hui beea superb and Roush's hitting, coupled with the few timely swats of the others has helped keep up the team's attack.

CENTERVILLE TO BE LOADED FOR GAME
Gib Hunt, the star first baseman, who played with the Richmond Quakers earlier in the season, will be back on first base Sunday when Richmond and Centerville clash at Exhibition Park to decido the championship of Wayne county. It is expected that Centerville will have a very slrong line-up Sunday, as the team has several first class players now, and it is probable that they will "load up" for the Quakers. Except for the addition of Hunt, the Quaker line-up will be unchanged. Roop will be the moundsman for the Quakers with Gray behind the bat. The complete line-up of Centerville has not been announced, but ft. is sure that Sturm, the star hurler of the local S. A. L., will be on the mound for them and Sullivan, a former Richmond man, will do the receiving. A large attendance is expected for the game as Centerville sends word that she will send over a delegation of 300 rooters and this number will make a good crowd.

America Being Left at
Post in Commerce Race? (By Associated Press) PARA, Brazil, Sept. 4. There were twelve steamers today at the docks of the Port of. Para, the "gateway of tho Amazons." Commenting upon this
unprecedented activity the Estado says it is a long time since such movement of commerce has been seen in this harbor. Brazilians have been looking forward to an increase In trade with the United States and it was a matter of Iteen regret that only one of the twelve steamers was American. Four were British and seven Brazilian. The American vessel will be here a long time. She is the disabled shipping board steamer "Topocaxi." Americans In South America feel, it is said, that notwithstanding the stories of wonderful progress in American shipbuilding during the war, inspiring tales of smashed records in rivet driving, and finished ships being turned out in marvelous time at mushroom yards on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts, it is probably true that "haste does not make speed." An American was heard to ask today as he looked at the flags flying from the masts of a dozen vessels: "Are we being left at the post?"
