Chirngo. Oct 3.—Carrying a two g.imo lead, the Cincinnati Reds to-day invaded the home territory of the Chicago White Sox for the third con test of the world series—the game which many baseball men believe vir tually will decide whether the Amer ican League pennant winners nre to be serious contenders for the cham pionship, or face an overwhelming handicap during the remainder of the series. The two teams, accompanied by seme 2.000 Cincinnati rooters aryveil here early to-day on more than a dozen trains, the Reds confident that they will return to Ohio Sunday pos sessors of baseball's highest honors, and the White Sox determined to overcome their handicap while play ing on their home grounds. (liii-tigo Puns optimistic Despite the fact that the White Sox. S to 5 favorites before the series started, lost two straight games to the National leaders, the followers Comiskey's team were, confident that to-day's contest would be the beginning of a winning streak for their favorites, and fans began gath ering at the baseball park last night waitng in line to purchase the gen eral admission tickets placed on sale at 9 o'clock this morning. The first far. appeared at the park at 5.30 o'clock yesterday. By midnight more than 100 were in line and all night the ticket seekers increased in num bers. Curl) Scalpers In order to prevent tickets falling into the hands of scalpers to expedite the sale, special arrangements were made by the club management. Each prospective purchaser was required to have the exact change for his tick et ready, the bleacher seats selling for fc4- 11.10 and pavilion space for $2.20, including war tax. No person was allowed to purchase more than one ticket, and after receiving the pasteboard everyone was required to go directly into the park. Ten thous and bleacher tickets and 6.500 for the pavilions were placed on sale. Pitcher I ntletermincd Discussion of the series centered this morning largely on who will be given the pitching assignment by Manager Gleason of the Sox. Al though Gleason announced last night in Cincinnati that he probably would select Dick Kerr, the sensational young left hander there was a gener al feeling that the youngster would not be called on at such a critical time, and that Gleason would switch to one of his veterans before game time. Eddie Cicotte, leading hurler of the American League, who was pounded from the box in the fourth inning of the first game, and I'rban Faber. hero of the 1917 series, are considered the foremost possibilities.. Faber, how ever.-has pitched only indifferent ball this season. Kerr is facing his first world's series and he has just fin ished his first big league season. The fact that he is a southpaw, however, may bring him the assignment, be cause of the manner in which "Lefty" Williams yesterday neld down the Red's hits despite the loss of the game. For the Reds Manager Moran un doubtedly will pick "Red" Eller or Ray Fisher, former New York Amer ican Leaguer, both right handers and both stars of the Reds pennant cam paign. Rnl* Now Favorites In what little betting was reported to-day on the series the Reds were 6 to 5 favorites. On to-day's game there were some bets at even money, but in most cases the White Sox fol lowers demanded odds. The probable lineup and batting or der for to-day follows: Cincinnati Chicago Rath. 2b.

Will Give S2O to Fund For Each Man in Service NOT UP TO THE FAMILIES! "It should be understood," said Donald McCormick this morning, "that the subscriptions toward the city 's war memorial are not up to the families of Harris burg's 3,500 soldiers and sailors. "These families gave their men folks to the Army and Navy. They did so without complain ing. They cannot be expected to do more. "Therefore, it is decidedly up to the balance of the city to see to it that S2O is subscribed for each of the 3,500 men who went into the Army and Navy from Harrisburg. The stand we should all take is that of a well-known medical man, who sent the fol lowing letter to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters: "'I am enclosing $2 0 to be credited to my namesake, as a slight evidence of my personal appreciation of the manly service he rendered in France." " Bowman & Co. to-day announced j that it had decided to contribute to ward the city's war memorial S2O for each of the men who went into the Army and Navy from that es tablishment. This was the first of what promises to be a long string of similar announcements. The idea that this is Harrisburg's last shot of the war is taking hold in every section of the city; and in the cam- i paign which starts next Monday I it is now considered highly probable 1 that S2O will be subscribed for each j of the city's 3,500 veterans.

Washington, Oct. 3. Giving a detailed history of union activities in the steel industry. Michael F.

"Information given to you hy Judge Gary," Tighe said, "was not first-hand evidence gained from practical knowledge of the industry, j but instead consisted of the state ■ ments made to him by his employes, | foremen and superintendents. It was I far from being the truth about the ; industry."

The unions, he said, had never sought the "closed | shop" but "union shops." j "When the management signs a j contract as to scales and working j conditions, it is a union shop," he I explained.
