Gleiison I oohs for hasy Going in Future vosterduv's game is over ami the tough rub comes from now on. two best nets were snowed under in two starts ami n third- string pitcher turned in a victory. Cieotte and Williams have lost their games, nud the only ones remaining are Hill .lames, n fair peggcr: Krk Mayer, not considered very good, and Ked Fuber, who lost all of his stuff and shines only in batting practice. On the other hand. Morun has Jimmy King, whom lie says lie will stmt today, and Hod KUer, the shine-ball marvel. If these gii)s work in turn I'at will be able to start all over again with Sallrc and Uuether. Wf stopped Kid (ileason as lie was leaving the ball park last night. "What are you going to do tomorrow about a pitcher'.'" we asked. "What am I going to do?" shouted (Jleasou aggressively. "Why should I worry? Anybody can beat the Iteds now and 1 don't care whom I start. Hut just listen to this: I am going to shoot ICddie Cieotte back at them tomorrow, and what do vou think of that? He goes back, and lie will beat them. That talk of his sore arm is all bunk." We were very much relieved to hear this, because we Just had recehed a wire from Frank Mackin which read as follows: "Moran will use Kubc Waddell, Matt Kilroy or Amos Itusic in the box and htill beat the White Sow 1'lease liuil out if Fddie Collins is playing." That shows what the average fan thinks of the Heds when they were winning. "We can't win all of the games," said Moran this morning. "Kislnr did not pitch bad ball yesterday, but was unfortunate in having the breaks go against him. His error in thV second, when he made that wild throw which placed Chicago in position to score, was excusable because be is a spitball pitcher and grabbed the moist part of the ball wlieu making the throw. Hay did well, but the other players failed to hit and dric in any runs. The bet pitcher in the world could, not win under those conditions. iirpODA) I expect In start either Jimmy liiiia or Hmf HHcr, with the odds favoring the former." Barrel of Money for Hayers THK noble athletes now have settled down ftto their regular playing form, realizing from the receipts of 4the last three days that their share will be the greatest in the history of the prosperous pastime. Their bit out of the pot. that already amounts to 52S.1.000 or so, will be big enough to make them forget their dislike of paying the war tax when they go to the movies, whenever they don't get passes. That fray yesterday was a mighty finely played affair, with star per formances coming along in stnrtling rapidity. Both infields played great base ball, and there wasn't a thing wrong with the outfielding, either. It was a game that showed the teams are very evenly matched that the once despised Reds pack as much class as the A. I., lliers. Hut for the break that came when Fisher hurled a ball into center field, the heroes might be playing yet, which wouldn't worry the magnates any, as It would mean an extra game and $t)(),UOO more. What looked like an easy riouble play was manufactured into two scores, because Fclsch happened to bunt a spitball after Jackson had clouted out a hit to left. Fisher grabbed the ball and heaved it in the general direction of Eddie Iloush. Shoeless Joe danced to third nnd Happy perched on second, where he remained just long enough to give Chick (iandil a chauce to hit a one-shot to right. It was the first time fortune frowned at the Heds during this hectic serious, and it meant the game. To be sure, the White Stockings tacked on one. more run in the fourth, but the Reds were behind then and facing perfect pitching. It would have been another story had the score been tied. The Sox pitchers iu the last two games have been shooting at the weak nesses of the Heds, and it looks as if the (tleason board of s'trategy bad things doped out pretty shrewdly. F THE Gleason pitchers can only live up to specifications there mill 6c a tcholc lot of fireworks hefore the series ends about four more games from today. Much Hard Luck Trailed Williams UMPIRE HILTA' EVANS, who was back of the plate Thursday when Claude Williams bnse-on-balled himself to disaster, told your faithful correspondent that Claude really pitched magnificent ball nnd that the bad ones were only missing the plate by fractions of inches all through the game. It wos Hill's opinion that Williams was trying too hard not to give the Reds anything good to hit, and thnt if he hadn't been so careful he might have come through with a win. And the eminent author-arbiter knows a few things about the dear old game. One pf the news bounds from Cincy dug up the illuminating fact that of the last sixteen southpaws who faced the Heds in the National League parade only three were able to go the full nine innings. He gave forth the information while gleefully wagering that Kerr would get hammered around. Of course, Kerr didn't; but facts arc facts. The Red bitters who bombarded Cieotte off the pitching peak and waited out and thcu hit Williams were helpless with the Kerr party on the job. They tried to force him to aviate by letting as many go by as possible, but the youngster was strong on control and grew steadier as the game went alonV. Ills lone pass was given to Groh in the fourth, the pitcher preferring to walk Heine rather than let Ulm hit a good one after a couple of curves had gone vrroug. Only two of the Reds got as far as second base and nary n one of them got along to third. If Kerr can repeat with another good game and Williams pitch as well as he did on the, initial start, the Moran attack will have plenty to break through on two more of the hot afternoons we are having this fall, , "THE big thaicdtiicii of the series came this afternoon tchen Cicoilr 1 icent out to get a victory for himself. If Edicard's arm is as good as he tays it is, the llorant iclll have a rough session, now that thr Kitrn of many a tough campaign Jtnoics just what kind of hafts the hot Met don't Hke'Jhhed uu.

Itut when you've finished with them all there are two sports that demand physical condition above all others. One is football and the other is boxing. For in these two games it is not only a matter of stamina and endurance, but nlso u matter of absorbing con siderable physical punishment, where poor condition will bring n collapse at once.

Broken Field Running THICK 10 have been arguments as to the greatest kicker, the greatest line plunger and the greatest everything else in football. Another unsettled argument is the name of the greatest broken field runner on record. .Mm Thorpe draws a goodly number of votes in this field, as the fleet Iudian had p way of swerving his hip and body without shifting his stride. Ilut Tuck llnrdwick casts his vote for Kddlc Malum, tho Harvard and marine star. "Malum was the hardest man to tackle ju an open field that I have ever seen," says llnrdwick. "He was like an eel who can run 100 yards in 10 Hat. You may have noticed that criss-cross lie seemed to use in his stride wheu sonic tackier went nfter him. That was his most effective systc.ni. When j ou went after Milium, in plnce of dodging to one side, he would offer you one of his feet still at top speed. And thcu when you dived for itjie would merely fake it away." 4F (JIVE 'cm a foot and then I take it atcay," is the Kay Mahan expressed it. Hcston and Coy HKSTON" and Coy, in the open field, depended more upon sheer power than nny sudden dodging or shifting. Doth could frequently run roughshod over the ordinary tackier. Eckersall soon picked up the system in facing Heston of sprinting with him and then taking him from the side. Ascertain West I'oint back ouce told us bis experience the first time he faced Coy' in tho open. "I saw him coming," he said, ''and waited for liirn to dodge. Then I snw he had no intention of dodging, but was going to try to run mo down. I dived into him, nnd when I came to about four minutes later I had a broken collarbone." K. 0.
