It's a Rood thing n world scries will be plajed because it will take a lot of coin to cpii things up. Last night there was a possiluliU of Kid Glcason fhallenging I'at Moran in n finish tight because of an argument oer the ground rules. Kxtra seats have been built in left and right 'fields, and Moran says that hits knotkeil into the left-field crowd should count for two bases and right-field swats for three, Gleason is holding out for home runs in either field and a deadlock has resulted The opposing managers and the umpires will hae to make up n set of ground rules and a lieh battle is piomised when this is attempted.

Cincinnati Too Cramped for Baseball Classic IHIS town is perking up a bit, now that the first game is to be played, but one cannot discover nnj of the wild enthusiasm we have been reading True, the hotels me packed, high prices nre paid for parking spaces, Jrnfe proprietors are weiting black maskR and wrapping lead pipe around the utatds of their guests, but you could get the same atmosphere at the Allentown fair. Cincinnati appears t-j be too small and too cramped for n big baseball classic. As t.ne expert remarked, it's like trying to stage a Harnum A. Hailey circus .on a tennis court or holding a Democratic convention in n telephone pjT Booth. Tliere aren't enough hotpls to tnke care of the visitors, and some have ogo over the river to Keutuckj to bit the hay.

Thej will tulk about Cincinnati winning the series, but when legal tender is men oned odds of 8 to 5 are demanded. White Sox root- rs cannot tee a price like that nnd little money has been put up. A trainload et Woodland Bards which pi'led in this morning carried a large assortment of Chicago coin, and at this writing the assortment still is intact. ' AH of this means that the White Sox are fnvored in the scries. Baseball players, American and National Leaguers, are strong for the Chicago crowd S-'"1"and can't see how they can lose. One well-known plajer said this morning v that the Sox had it all ovct t incinnati in six positions, and the inarein in the other two -was too close to tall- about. He sahj Groh was better than Weaver and Bousch wa3 slightly superior to Felsch. As for the pitchers, Cincinnati probably had the edge, but the White Sox had a btrong batting order, which offset this advantage. And allow us to tate this fame batting order is going to cause a lot of trouble in the next week. There lave been tauv.y rumors regarding the hurlers to be used in the cpenJng fraj, but Moran said today he would start Dutch Iteuther, nnd he hasn't chnuzed his mind rs jet. Gleason will use Cicotte. and that means --Cdle Bill pitch. There was some talk about the Kid crossing the done and Rlinninir inff. iandeK over on the Ked';, but there is nothing to it However, it sounded logical, because there nre many left-handed hitters on the Iteds.

Hours BEFORE C3ArvE CATHOLIC HIGH HAS FAST SQUAD GUSTAFSON CAPTAIN OF PENN'S RUNNERS T West Philadelphia High Puts Good Team in Field This Year Result of Election Kept a Catholic Dark Secret Since Last, Spring; Has Had Mete oric Career ' PLAY LEAGUE GAMES p c TEAJ UGHT BUT a left-hander in 1ie box would eliminate Ivy Wtngo and send in Bill Randen, icho is not so good a catcher. Lefty IViHtania was selected by the dopesiers to start, but now tt's all wet. Reds Already Have Proved Their Gatneness JUDGING from the concrhation spilled around the hotel, a stranger would believe that Cincinnati did not have n possible chance to win. It is claimed that Daubert, Nealo and Hath will explode and play gummy baseball, and Tilh those three gents in the air the whole ball club will go flooie. I can't see 'where they get that stuff. The Iteds are not quitters and they proved it time and again in the season just closed. It was an uphill fight and they never faltered. Take that great series irfXew York, for example. Six games were played in three days against hostile, rabid audiences, and if the team had any desire to quit or crack in a vulnerable spot it had a chance right there, instead the Iteds copped the first two, dropped the next pair and took the last two "games. The strain then was just as severe as it is now, only more so. Today they perform before the home folks and will get all the best of it from the crowd. This dope Bhould be taken into consideration when selecting a winner. Another thing, apparently, has been overlooked. Cincinnati has come up from behind and won ball games in the last couple of innings after overcoming rbig leads. The team imcr has shown any signs of quitting, no matter how badly things looked. This will help them against the Sox. Gleason's team also has proved its worth. Batting from the very start In a. strong league, Chicago stepped out in front and had to play some sweet beebaU to stay there. The pitchers were not exceptionally good, their offerings were hammered all over the lot; but the wrecking crew, composed of Eddie Collins. Weaver, Jackson, Felsch and Gandil, always came tbroueh at th proper time and batted in enough runs to grab the Terdiet. They, too, have Wpa many lop-sided games when the odds were against them, and we should kave some interesting contests. THH way the series looks to me is that there will he some good pitch ing handed out by the Reds, lots of hefty wallops by the Box and ' no game will be decided until the last man has been retired. Two game ball clubs will fight it out for the championship, with the White Sox a slight favorite. ptimistic Utterances From Moran and Gleason CHICAGO practiced on Itedland Field yesterday nnd the players had a good J, workout. However, Gleason almost lost his best pitcher when Cicotte was tH the forehead by a ball thrown by Joe Jackson. Eddie was pitching to : batters and a'' ball was bit to left field. Jackson made the catch and jbately threw the ball to the infield. It came on a line to the pitcher's box MM! .Cicotte turned around just in time to get it on the forehead. Had the SB 'been an inch or two lower the star pitcher would have suffered s broken ;., bmb er a black eye. Kddie took the count, but was not hurt. "TiiJfTbe Chisago plaers are brimming over with confidence, but can't hold a Miie to Gleason. The Kid just knows Chicago will win. " S'Why shouldn't they cop?" be asked aggressively this morning. "All MAtim the boys have been fighting hard, never laid down on the job and al- stepped out and won games when they were needed. This series will fct be an hard as our scheduled games, and I know we will win." ' Tat Moran also lind a few words to say. "It won't be nn easy series," V explained, "but we will win in the end. My pitchers are in good shape 4 the other players are ready for the fight of their llves Just watch us . ppriurn big surprise." -, t -There you have the dope.

Pvorv ilnv Urn hiir snuad is nlaying better football and Glendon is certain that in spite of the lack of experience material his crew will give a good ac count of themselves. Yesterday the men showed up well in all departments of play and it appears that the men upon whom Glendon is depending to develop will not disappoint him. O'Connor, who is an experienced backfield man, and Lynch, a lineman, have been out nearly a week now and both have rounded into shape. Around this small nucleus of veteran material Glendon is struggling to build up a team that will hold its own throughout the season. Strong Candidates Tor tlio end position, Glendon has Donahue, Dougherty and Byrne.

KINVIN ,1. POLLOCK TUTAUVIV GUSTAl'SON has been "-I- elected captain of the Pennsjlyania track team for the coming year. The election took place Inst spring after the -Meadow brook meet, but the result was kept a dark, dark secret. Even Gus didn't know who was elected until re cently. The new captain is the best middle distance runner nt the University and enc of the best in collegiate ranks, but he is far from a Ted Meredith. His most nctable achievement was the winning of-the 000-yard indoor national cham- I pionship n few seasons past. ' Last spring in the intercollegiate chumpionships, Gus ran second to Mayer, of Cornell, in the eight-eighty. Mnny of his admirers were disappointed because he did not win, but he turned the half in 1 TiG, his fastest time for the distance. Gustnfi-on's career is a shining example of what college trainers arc doing with jouths in the line of develop ment, Gus never had a t-piked shoe on his foot until he came to Penn, A de termination to make good nnd valuable tutoring by Lawson Robertson brought him from the ranks of novices to the class of champions. SI PAVXTIS will bring a light team to Franklin Field to battle against the Penn footballers next Saturday. The Pennsjlvanla Military Collcvc eleven avcrnges only 107 pounds. How ever, two jenrs ago Pauxtis brought a flock of fighters who were short on poundage and long on spirit. Perhaps this 1010 team is of the same brand It was on election dnyin 1017 when the Quakers last met the Chester ag gregation nnd memory is not too rusty to recall the splendid scrap put up by the military boys. Some of the mem bers of that team still are playing on P. M. (' , but it is doubtful if Pauxtis men can overcomo the difference in weight sufficiently to hold Penn down to another low score. Onb of the prominent members of that fighting squad of 1017 was Leon Cam puzano, a. local product, who is again holding down the fullback post.

Xa. It's a long lane that knows no turning. It's never too late to mend. "You don't hear very much about Walter Jobnson this season," writes a fan, "but don't forget that he won twenty ball games with the Washing ton club. Could Cicotte, Sallee, Williams,' Barnes, Reuther or any one else have won fifteen games with the same outfit? Not on a bet." "Things have been brenking pretty well for the West this season," an other keen1 observer writes, "so I'd like to put down a small bet that a western dub will win the world series. Let me know if you hear of any one who'd like to wager n few kopeks ou the eastern team."

BOTH Si Pauxtis and Bob Folwell arc tutoring their pupils along de fenisve lines this week in preparation for the scrap Saturday, but each is teachiug a different kind of defense. Down in Chc&ter Pauxtis is laboring with a view of holding down Penn's score nnd is doing considerable work on the tackling dummy. At Franklin Field Folwell is attempting to build a defensive wall around the runner with the ball. Penn's interference was weak' against Bucknell, and the Red and Blue will be practicing protection today, tomorrow and Friday. The Quakers never have been able to interfere properly here of late and Folwell is determined to wipe out his fault. The casualties of the Bucknell free-for-all nre recoveriug rapidly and all will be in shape to start against P. M. C. The same battle array will start the engagement. Alfred G. Gennert, former Princeton center, who was mentioned a few dajs ago as one of the probable players of the professional football team which is being organized to play at the Polo Grounds during the coming season, takes decided exception to the use of his name by those behind the project. "I have never been npproached on this subject by any representative of the National Exhibition Company or any other professional club," declared Gennert yesterday, "and the use of my name in this connection is wholly un authorized and inexcusable. I would not play football for money on Sunday, or on any other afternoon. I believe that any attempt to professionalize foot ball is a direct attack on the best traditions of the game and should be icsented by nil loyal Uevotees,", Bucknam Captain of Colby Eleven Waterrllle. lie..
