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:

PLEA GOES OUT
TO INDUSTRIES
FOR MEMORIAL
Biwman & Co. 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.

The general opinion of the Coun

Suggested to Ilines
Timothy Shea, of the Brotherhood
of firemen said the change in repre

rector General Hines, but that no
reply had been received and none
was expected. Because of this, he
said, the four brotherhoods did not
expect to go into the conference and
it was thought the 14 other railroad
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor also would not
participate.

Philadelphia, Oct. 3.—Dr. Francis

'• said to-day that the President's con

I After spending an hour and a half

Mr. Wilson, according to Dr. Der-'

and is making an effort to cease
chafing under the restraint which j
compels him to relinquish temporar
ily the helm of the administration.
By nature, said the neurologist, lie;

"The President is not the type of

said Dr. Dersum. "This led him to
overtax his strength, when he should

Upon his arrival Dr. Dercum said
to newspaper reporters:
"The President is profoundly ex

"Syndicalism," Senators
Ready For Foster
By Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 3.
Giving a detailed history of union
activities in the steel industry.
Michael F. Tighe, president of the
Iron, Steel and Tin Workers' Unio-\
told the Senate committee invest;
gating the steel strike to-day that
the t'nited States Steel Corporation
instead of "leading the van in ad
vancing wages, as Judge Gary has
claimed, has lagged behind our or
ganization.
"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."
Millions to Fight Unions
Tighe repeated the charge that
| the steel corporation early in its
: history had appropriated $20,000.-
000 to fight unions, and gave nanus
jof his informants. 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.
The effect is the same as a closed
shop, isn't it?" asked Senator
■ Sterling. Republican, South Dakota.
"No." said Tighc. "We are not
• asking for closed shops and never
have."
! W. 7.. Foster, secretary of the
i general strike committee, whose al

j congressional fire, was present at the
hearing to-day prepared to testify
