14 TWO MORE GAMES FOR CINCINNATI Reds Lead by Nine Games; to Play Exhibition Games; Here 011 Friday PVillailclphln, Auk. 27.—Cincinnati National Rcafsue loaders and almost certain pennant winners, was extend ed to the limit of its powers by the tail-end Phillies yesterday, winning tne first game only by a splendid in dividual contribution in the ninth in ning:. and taking the windup affair after fifteen sessions of th.e hot test kind of baseball. The scores 4 to 3 and 8 to 3. Crude performing afield and numerous walks spoiled the on#*nihr tilt from nn vio>-. point, but its endincr was dramatic end. although against the home team, Vl*prH lated. The second was superior i tho Reds, and as the Giants were held to an even break another game was added to Cincinnati's lead. Rank judgment on the part of Irish Meusel. left fielder, caused the loss of the initial set-to after the Phillies had held the lead for a matter of eight in nings. Rath rolled one to Bancroft, too slow to field for a pill-out. Neverth - less Bancroft tried. He scooped the hall in a beautiful one-handed fashion and Say KING OSCAR to your dealer and pass him 7c, and then he will give you your money's worth of real smoke comfort. John C.

In summer we don't need coal, so we rarely worry about the winter to come. But we do worry. Nearly every winter we hear the same reports of inade quate production, of storms that halt transportation, of storms that halt traffic, etc. Nearly every winter finds us beseeching someone to do something about it. The railroads should be rebuked, mines should be corrected, coal deale'rs should be investi gated. We run around in circles, investigating, examin ing, full of chills and ague and "flu" and measles and pneumonia. But there is another winter coming. And it will be as full of plague as any other winter. It will be as cojd and miserable and as fraught with ills if we are to be without the means of balking them. The wise virgins filled their lamps. The wise householder will fill his coal bins NOW. Tf you wish to buy coal next winter under the conditions of two years ago—running around several days to find the coal—stand ing in line several hours and then only get ting a few dollars' worth—delay buying until winter, and you will have this experi ence.

It was wild, and Hath wound up on second base. Dnubert was an inlleld out. but Groh poled high to left. Meusel start led in the wrong direction for a catch. By the time he set a true course the 'ball had struck the ground and bound ed into the bleachers. The second game was one of those rare exhibitions which happen only a tew times in a season. The Phillies took the lend in the second and held ! it exactly one inning, when Cincin nati -Cored twice and went ahead. In the fifth the Cravathians squeezed two | over, but were again tied in the sixth. i From this point on as splendid a struggle as one could wish for took place. Puulette erred in the eighth, vet it cost nothing, and with this one ex ception not a defensive llaw was ap parent. One. two. three the hatters were retired. save at odd innings when n man would walk' or perhaps single. Hut never to any avail. Came the fifteenth. Hath dropped a short safe fly to right center. Dnubert bunted, and when the play failed to nip Hath at second, two were on base. Groh laid down n sacrifice bunt and the runners advanced. Housh was walked, anil with the bases loaded the I'hillie infield crowded close for, a double killing. Nettle fanned for the second out and from all appearances Cheney was going to get away witli it. Then disaster. Kopf slashed one through Blnckburne. scoring Hath and Pnuhcrt. Duncan drove viciously to right and two more tallied. Housh and Kopf. AVingo hit. bringing home Dun can. hut was caught stealing, ending the frame. The Rfds start an exhibition trip to-dav. playing at Parkcshurg this I afternoon.

C. journeyed to Beaver j Springs last evening and were trim- I mod to the tune of 5 to 0. Mr. Calla- I han started hostilities by demanding ! at $lO guarantee, notwithstanding the ! manager of the country boys protn | ised a return game. But says Herr I Callahan, "money talks.' and the ■ game started. Fnnerved by Manager Callahan's actions. Bachman passed F. Kelker, , the first batter up for Beaver Springs. The Markley Brothers were out via | the strike out route. "Chuck" Kelker planted a scorch • ing liner over third and when the i dust cleared away Beaver Springs ! was credited with two runs. Nothing doing particular until the sixth in i ning, when by a comedy of errors, | and timely singles, three more runs were added to the "lightless town total. Never In Doubt The home team was not in danger, save in one inning, when good head work on the part of Gilbert prevent ed the county seat hopes from scor ing. After the game Brother Calla han got his ten "bucks" and when Inquiring for a return game Manager Getz gave him the answer that would make Herbert Hoover famous.

The name of j one performance only next Friday night. "Settle Down in a Onc-Horno Town," "They Follow Me Around," ."Lead Me to Love" and other tnusi- Howers is said to be a guarantee for the fitness of a production and in "Kiss Me Again" there is no excep tion. There is plenty of good, sparkling comedy, there is a large chorus of beautiful girls, there is a tuneful music, attractive costumes, pretty stage pictures and all that goes to make a musical show of the , highest order. Mr. Bowers has a role which shows him in slightly dif ( ferent lines from any heretofore us | sayed by him and he is proving an . even greater laughing success than ever before. • The plot of "The Dancing Widow," which will be presented at the Orpheum on "Tlic Dancing Widow" Sat u r d a y, matinee and night, concerns a lot of people and their wives and sweethearts tangled up in a haze of mistaken identities, f'ulifornia and its fashionublc hotels furnish the background. A marvelous series of impersonations of famous moving picture artists lends an air of mystery to it which keeps the plot moving gaily along by getting the people concerned into trouble, and out of it again, and when trouble gets too threatening, the author by an unique manipulation of his char acters breaks them into song and laughter. A richly gowned and pretty chorus add to the festivities. The musical score comprises 20 of the latest European song and dance hits that have London and Paris whistling them up and down the Mall and Boulevard. PLAYS IN THE MAKING The director of that sterling suc cess, "The Cowboy's Revenge," in live sections, has been greatly delayed in his work. Hen Irvingham, the lead, appeared on location without a silk handkerchief knotted and slung around his neck. Our own I.ongfellow: It was the schooner Hesperus That sailed the wintry sea: The skipper had taken Ills daughter To bear him company. And when the fifth reel eame around A thrilling shipwreck scene— The painted backdrop tore in two This movie proved a scream! "The Swords of Grant and Lee," a seven part feature, was tine with the exception that two tanks seemed a little out of place in the battle stuff. Among the insurmountable ob stacles to success in the motion pic ture art can he included cowlicks, prominent Adam's apples and skinny elbows. A rebuilt Maxwell got into the fourth reel of "Damon and Pythias" i and somewhat spoiled the atmos- I phere.

The Reds have 28 games to play, while the Giants still have 34 games. If Cincinnati is able to win only half of its re maining games the Giants must win 26 out of their 3 4 games to win the championship. Then the standing would be: Won. Lost. Pet. New York 93 47 .664 Cincinnati 92 4 8 .657 If, while the Reds are breaking even, the Giants win 25 games and lose nine, then the two teams tie. Under the same conditions, if they can win 24 games and lose 10. the Reds will win the cham pionship, just the same. If the Reds should win 18 of their remaining games and lose 10, then the Giants would have to win 30 games out of their re maining 34 games to nose out the Ohiouns. It is easy to see that It requires a miracle to beat the Reds, as the latter play the ma jority of their games at home, while New York is on the road. |cal gems from "Wateli Your Step" I have been sung, whistled and plaved 011 the piano and by orchestras 'all over the country.
