: HIS CINCINNA TI REDS
Phils and Mackmcn Two Reasons Why Local Fans Look
to Moran to Furnish Thrills in Fight With
McGraw for National League Bunting

4CTO? fellows linvc the wrong Men," snid the plnch-hittcr, as lie paid
his daily lit to the office jctcrday. "You nre wnsting thousand of
words on stuff which interests no one nnd forgetting .the nll-nbvorbing topic
of the day. There is only one piioe of sport gossip on n rainy afternoon
nnd that is l'nt Moran and his work, in Cincinnati. With jour permission
I shall write a stor."
Thereupon the pinch -hitter removed his roat, exposed n violent colored
Shirt, took n toehold and dnshed off the following:
Redland's race for the golden burgee which has cast a robust, luscious,
redolent, ruby hue over the National League for some weeks has attracted
greater nttention nowhere outside of Cinclnnntejo than right here in the old
bailiwick of Don l'atilcio Moranus. Stiange things have tumbled down upon
us, Penelope, Mure thK old globule upon whuli we breathe, move nnd have
our high tost of liing, was made safe from the Demociuts. Hut the spectacle
of one city hawug two teams in the big h agues not taring one tinker's xiUcr
crested whoop what they do or whrie thej finish, while it clatters up the well
known welkin with raucous roohoos for an alien burg is something new for
the times.
Nevertheless it is the absolute truth that the fans here are agog only
about the Rcdbugs. The giddy gonfalon should iloat out the City of the
Rusticated Itrew, they aigue, and in the language of the Imminent Hard of
Rattle Creek there's a reason. In fact there are two the Mackmcu and the
Cacti, otherwise known as Mr. Raker's Dozen. Along with these two reasons
nre a couple of others Moran and the Giants.
In regard to the first of these, poets and philosophers nnd ignorant
Idealists have urged one in plentiferous language to accept the inevitable and
be resigned to it. I. X. Bvitnble seems to be the middle name of the Phils
and the Mackmcn. The fans have long since become resigned to them and
the fact that thej cannot linish loner thau eighth, because nine-club leagues
nre no longer the rage this jear.
Under such conditions the local situation possesses as much thrill and kick
as a thimble filled with 2.7." per cent. With oue team dountvo low in the
race that it needs a diver's .suit it is not rare sport to journey to the ball
orchard daily and see what nimble and useful schemes the athletes hae
evolved to lose ball games by a hand-patented method all their own.
JWOTJIlS'Cr rials the iport of the kings like having a pair of losers
" in the same city.
Gavvy Gives Momentary Thrill
THE fans have had a little excitement and a momentary thrill because Old
Cactus Cravath has made a race with the team since it came into his
ihands. The old boy cleaned up in the West after doing the same thing here
and boosted the club into sixth place. Hut they cannot win the pennant, and
with the fans reconciled to the inevitable it was only natural they should turn
to Redburg, where old Pat was making such a benucoup scrap, as the lads from
over the damp would sa. as this town knew four years ago. Moran nlways
was a prime favorite here when lie handled the club. His popularity didn't
lose anything, cither, after he left this corrupt and discontented city.
At any rate, the fan likes Moran ns well as he hates the (Jiants and,
he wouldn't want anything better than to hec the Men of Manhattan tumbled
on the scrapheap by the Redbirds. So, every time the box bcore blazons the
fact that a Red hoof had dented the quivering hide of the (Hunts, the good
qfd red-blooded fan cursed national prohibition nnd threw his peanut shells all
over the parlor carpet.
J The fans arc thus with Comrade Moranus. and they want him to give
Ahe jackdempsey to; Old Man Precedent again, and to make two pennants grow
where none sprouted before namely in Philadelphia and Cincinnati. fiO per
cent of that job is alrcadj completed, and if Pat does the rest his name will go
resounding down the Corridors of Time and all the hotels as the real Miiacle
Man of Raseball.
Naturally his chances for doing this very job appear as rosy as the
prospectus of a blue sky stock swindle. And the fact, too, that he has kept
the Redbirds up there within a dizzy distance of the first place all through the
season leads one to wonder how Pat finmes his sj-tem to do this stunt.
That ought to be easy for' the sharks of the game to fathom. It is performed
by the pitchijg. Moran, a wise old bird with a head for something else
than a mere landscape for Frnnk Markin's straw hat, relies on twirling.
Connie Mack, than whom there was none wiser in the managerial line jeurs
agone, always has claimed that pitching was only about 75 per cent of the
entire business of winning a gladsome rug.
So with Moran. Pat his Cincinnati when the Reds looked like a mottled
counter at a bazaar, and he took the twirlers in band. He grabbed old Slim
Bailee, whose curves are as wide as the crinoline of the Civil War days.
WJE ALSO taught Rcuther, Jimmy llinn, Hod Kllcr ami the rest
" of the bonnet the wrinkles that moundsmen on a championship
team know, and the rest teas easy.
Reds Don't Compare With Great Baseball Clubs
MOHAN'S ball club is no great shucks when measured by the Cubs and
the Mnckians. His lead-off man is Morris Rath, a personable youngster
from Philadelphia, who has been n leased so often that a manager always
bought a tsarist ticket so it wouldn't cost so much to ship him around. He
couldn't bit a lick when he was with the Muckmen years ago, and the boys
christened him "Spalding's Guide." Take a look at the chromo on the 'outside
coyer and jou'll get the reason the guy alwnjs stands with the bat on his
shoulder. But he seems to be hitting and getting on now.
Daubert is the old Hrookljn first baseman whose pillars began to buckle
with chnrlcyhorse and other ailments. Jake can sting the old pill nnd he gets
on quite a good deal now. The old warhorse may not be as frisky nnd
nimble as of yore, but he reaches (and gets them just as well as ever, and
plays that bag in championship form.
Heinle Groh, the mannikin, who third bases, is as good ns any in the
league, and when you have n shortstop, a third sucker and. a catcher who arc
in pristine form you have the chance of a ball team. Outfielders can havo
their heads chiseled out of any osseous substance if they can throw, hit and
field, but an infielder has to have more inside his hat than inside his glove,
Groh is a tower of strength, and although he isn't any bigger and longer than a
baited breath or a halted period, he is the very goods.
Roush, who bats in the cleanup man's place, led the league in hitting
one season, and is up there with the bigwigs now. Greasy Nenle at right field
h a fair hitter, and has brains. Kopf nt short is another of the well-known
tourists of baseball, who has taken more fljing trips and stayed longer than
Rath. When he first broke into big league baseball at Cleveland his
batting average looked like the holes in u cjieese, and resembled, too, the last
six figures in 1,000,000. However, he manages to eke out a smack when the
bases are jammed, or there is one to tie and two to win.
Raymond Rubino Uressler, formerly a Mackman, is playing left field,
having been converted from a twirler into an outfielder. Hressler should have
been an excellent pitcher with the Mackmcn, but he used his eyes so much in
.the night that he couldn't get used to daylight. Rube had an automobile and
he found more pioneer routes around this city than many of the chauffeurs on
the taxicheaters.
JJTIIEX it came to day irort he teas all used up, and his pitching
fr gave tarty indication here that he ought to make a corking
outfielder.

NEW YORK HAS
TO STOP CINCINNATI REDS
Pat Moran Gets Black Hand
Letter Threatening Him and
Club on Next Visit to Polo
Grounds
Cincinnati, Aug. G.
A THREAT against Pat Sloran and
the Reds was contained in n letter
from New York which reached Moran
yesterday. Skulls and crossbones and
other queer characters decorated the
letter, which was written in legible style
and couched in fair English. The let
ter warned Pat that the Reds are going
to be roughly handled by gangsters at
the Polo Grounds when they meet the
Giants next week in three double-headers.
The letter follows:
"Dear Pat: Just a few lines to
let you know that you and your bunch
of rotten ball players certainly put
yourselves in bad. You got a fair deal
when you were here last time, but, be-
lieve us, you are not going to get away ,
with it when you come here again. Wo'

We will be sitting right over your dug

CAN BENNY LEONARD
STOP LEW TENDLER?
Many Believe That Any
Left-Hander Is, Ready
Target for Champion of
Lighttveight Division
JACKSON FAST HITTER
Ry JAMES S. CAROLAN
"IAN Rennj Leonard knock out Lew
Tendler?
In that first round Tendler looked
like an open target for n man with a
good right. In fact, Jackson proved
that Lew 's jaw could be reached.
Hut did it ever occur to the boys on
the inside that Willie .Tnckson has one
of the fnstest light hand punches in
the game?
Willie Jackson put nway Johnny
Dundee in less than one minute. It
was the same kind of a blow that laid
Lew Tendler low. The only differ
ence was that Dundee went out' for
fifteen minutes and Tendler for five
seconds.
Leonard is not a one-punch knockout
artist. Kenny wears down his man
with a series of smashing blows, alter
nating his attack to the head, then the
body. It is seldom that Leonard stops
a man under five or six rounds.
Tendler Some General
Jackson is the best first-round fighter
in the game. This has been proved re
peatedly. He has speed nnd circles the
ling like n Harney Oldfield or a Clarence
Carman files around a track.
Tendler proved that he could take a
punch nnd come back. He showed that
, i,p i,n.i .. necessnrv courn'-e mirier fire.
i ne dealt out a terrific lacing in the last
fmlr r0unds. That one punch to the jaw-
, ,)id not sap his strength. His punch
still carrieJ power ami punishing piop
erties. Now for Leonard. Renny is the most
artistic puncher in the game. He has
made a study of it. He seldom wastes
a blow and when it starts for a certain
spot it usually lands.
Leonard believes in wasting punches
just the same as a pitcher will waste a
couple of pitches to nail a man steal
ing. Leonard is n twentieth ccnturj
ring gcuerul.
The Leonard System .
Few know this about Leonard, but it
is the truth. In an important battle
the champion will spar nnd jab lightly
for a couple of rounds. He even will

Heydler Congratulates
Luderus on New Record
New York, Aug. 0. John 4Hcyl
ler, president of the National
League, has sent n telegram to
Fred Luderus, first baseman of the
Philadelphia Nationals, congratu
lating the player on breaking the
major league record for playing in
successive games. On August it,
while Philadelphia was playing in
Chicago, Luderus played in his
17i)th consecutive game, breaking n
record fonnerly beld by Kd Collins,
of the Chicago Americans.
send through what looks like his best
blow. The punch will land. The victim
will smile. An instant inter the oppo
nent will tear into Leonard without
fear.
Leonard's game has been 'n success.
He pulled his punch to .make the other
fellow believe he eouldnft bit.
How often have the fans seen this
game worked? Just as often ns Benny
Leonard has fought in this city. And
virtually every time it worked the oppo
nent took n real beating.
Jack Britton, the super crafty, was
the first to discover the Leonard sys
tem. "It's the greatest piece of work
I've ever seen," was Britton's com
ment. '
Says Benny to Jack
It also is known now that when
Leonard was in Toledo he was the one
to impart this information to Jack
Dempsey. Here is Leonard's instruc'
tions veibatim to Dempsey two days
before the battle:
"Don't crash into Willard when you
get in there. Make n rush for him, then
sidestep and walk away. Keep stepping
around nnd jou'll worry him to death.
When you get in close take a vicious
smash nnd land lightly. Willard will
laugh nt your efforts and think you
canlt punch.
'hen when the chance comes send
over your best and the big boy will be
rocked. Follow this dope and you'll
win.''
That's exactly what Dempsey did.
The Leonard sjstem is a known suc
cess. System Effective
If Tendler and Leonard meet under
anywhere near equal conditions, Leon
ard is certnln to go in there n favorite.
His system lias been effective.
Herman Tajlor, n well-known pro
moter nud fight headlineT, can see only
Leonard in case the bojs clash.
"Leonard will stop Tendler just as
sure as there's a fight nt the Phils Park
on Monday night," snid Promoter Tay
lor. "Leonard knows too much, he's
a better puncher nnd a deadly walloper.
No left-hander in the game has n chance
against the champion. 1 in convinced
of this after watching him for the last
thrco years."
This is a good chance to start an
nrgument. Lew has his supporters, so
let's stop right here before another
verbal ba.ttle is started.

This will, be a busy evening among
the teams plajing twilight baseball,
and a number of important games nre
clown on the schedule for decision. The
Harrow gate club, however, will bo idle,
the second game of the scries with Na
thity being postponed until one week
from tonight. Manager Phil Wild an
nounces that owing to making improve
ments in the grounds his team will also
be unable to play at home on Saturday,
nnd his club will play "Si" Pauxtis's

Steutou is the attraction at German

pected. Manager Bob Calhoun, pf Dob
son, is nway on his vacation, and the
club will be in charge of Assistant
Manager Batcr when the Main Line
leaders oppose Marshall E. Smith to
night. Dobson also announces) the ac
quisition of two new outfielders in
Sharkey, of Lew'istown, and Mudie, of
Lansdown. The game scheduled between
Stetson and Brooklyn Royal Giants for
last evening will be played tomorrow
night.
Second place is nt stake in the Mont
gomery County League when Ambler
and Disston, tied for the position of
runner-up in that circuit, come to
gethcr nt Ambler in a regular league
contest. No doubt a pitchers' battle
will be witnessed by the Ambler fans,
ns the opposing slabmen will be Chnrlie
Gloek for the sawmakcrs and "Lefty"
Sterling for the home talent.
Manager Dick Seeds was unsuccessful
in his negotiations with Fort Washine-
ton to play n postponed league game on
the Disston grojinds, State road and

stead has spmiicM Harrowgntc. The lat
ter aggregation is goiug at a fast pace,
as Manager Wild has" signed a half
dozen stars the last month. Downs

Conceit and Confidence
ft A FTER nil," states a contemporary, "it is Ty Cobb's conceit as much
ex. as anything else that has helped to make him conceit being a winning
factor in nlmost nny sport."
Not conceit, but confidence. And the difference is wide. Conceit is
normally based upon the belief that you are inherently better than the re
mainder of the multitude. Confidence is based upon the belief tbnt you can
win out because you have trained correctly nnd have thereby developed a
superiority.
CONCEIT is never earned. Confidence often is,
v larni info conceit or ovcrconfidcncc.
The Greatest
it TACK DEMPSEY has been labeled as the greatest fighter that ever lived."
tl Among those who have drawn the same appellation might be mentioned
Sullivan, Corbett, Fitzsimtnons, Jeffries and Johnson. They are all "the
greatest" until the next bloke comes along. Whereupon the query follows:
"Who did this guy ever lick?"
ABOUT the only thing that keeps us from believing that the tfed Sox is
the best club in the American League is the standing of the clubs.
YTF THE batsman is supposed to keep his eje on the ball," queries a by-
btander,"whnt is the pitcher supposed to keep his eye on?" Cobb,
Sislcr, Ruth or Cravath.
THERE arc several things thnt could be done with the kaiser. He might
be sent into the ring with Jack Dempsey, or made to umpire a Giant
Red series in Cincinnati.
THEY may soon find suitable opponents for Marshal Foch und Jack Dempsey,
but no one will ever be able to make Hiudenburg and Willard believe it.
