WILLIE LOUGHLIN HERE TO BATTLE WITH JIMMY LEGGETT IN M. P. SHOW TONIGHT CINCINNATI WAS "RED" STOCKINGS Harry Wright Was the First Magnate; Some Salaries Paid Players Cincinnati, Oct. 7. Fifty-two years ago when the H. C. L. caused by the Civil War was beginning to drop and baseball players Wore dis carding their "long pants" lor uni forms, Harry Wright, a star of the "National" team of Washington, landed in Cincinnati and put red hose on his players and they became the "Rod Stockings." To be more ex act, historians tell us that the desig nation originated in 1867 and the Cincinnati's have been "Reds" up to this, their year of glory. Three years later after the "Red Stockings" had had remarkable suc cess with their professional team Chicago men were inspired to or ganize a rival professional club. The Chicago team was called the "White Stockings" because they wore whito hosiery in contrast to the carmine color worn by their rivals. Later their name was changed to White Sox but the Cincinnatis did not be come "Red Sox." That name was adopted by the Boston club of the American League. In time the Cin cinnati "Red Stockings" became the "Reds." The Cincinnati Reds made a great pennant race this season but Pat Moran's bunch of ball tossers had nothing on the original Cincinnati "Red Stockings" back in 1869. Their record that year was unapproach able. The team toured the country from Boston to San Francisco and never lost a game. Sixty-nine games were played before the team met defeat at the hands of the "Atlan tics" of Brooklyn in 1870. First Real Salary Roll On this famous tour of the Cincin nati team it is recorded that Harry Wright, the owner, made money and thus was styled the first baseball magnate. The first year's salary roll of the "Red Stockings" is still on record. It reads like this: Harry Wright, center fielder, $1,200; George Wright, shortstop, (then greatest all round player in the country) $1,400; Asa Brainard, pitcher, sl,- 000; Fred Waterman, third base, $1,000; Charles Sweasey, second base, $800; Charles Gould, first base, $800; Douglas Allison, catcher, $800; Andy Leonard, left fielder, $800; Call McVey, right fielder, SBOO, and Richard Hurley, utility, S6OO. In 1870 Cincinnati played a disas trous series with the Chicago White Sox. It was no world's series—only a two-game affair but the two vic tories of the White Sox so disheart ened the Red Stockings that the following year the club disbanded. They took defeat hard in those days, the histories tell. But no one can blame the Cincinnati . players ifor being discouraged seeing that just a year before they had won sixty nine games without a loss from teams in all parts of the United States. They just naturally hated to lose. More Scoreboard Games if Chicago Wins Today More fans •witnessed yesterday's s:ime at Chestnut Street Auditorium as played by the Lew Ritter score hoard, than attended tho regular contest at Island Park. Rainy weather drove the fans Indoors. are happy when they are able to witness a game and enjoy a com fortable seat. There Is no denying the fact that they get everything that comes with a ball game with this electrical board. In the event of Chicago winning to-day there will be a game to-mor row. The series now stands, Cin cinnati 4 and Chicago 1. The Reds must win one game to end the series. Chicago must win four. Indications point to a clean-up to-day if Pat Moran's team keeps up the fast pace. These games at Chestnut Street Au ditorium start at 3 o'clock.

TUESDAY EVENING* GIANTS WINNERS IN LAST GAME Defeat Klein Chocolate Com pany Team by Hitting Ball Hard Stars picked from John MoGraw's Giants, runners up in the National League, played here yesterday. The Klein Chocolate Company team was it. opposition. The Giants won by a score of 8 to 2. It was all Benny KaufT's fault when he lifted the ball for a triple, and put the game on the ice in the final inning. Barnes pitched and the Klein hit ters were unable to do more than six safeties. The fielding of the Giants was all to the good. Ritter pitched good ball until the final rally. It was Benny Kauff that sent the chances a tottering for the Klein boys in the ninth. He sent out a triple which brought in a few runs, and which did much to affect the morale of the Klein club, for before the inning was ended there wore sev eral other runs over the plate. Be fore the rally started the score stood 2 to 2 in favor of the Giants. This game ends the season in Har rlsburg. Marager John Bracken ridge was assured that the Giants would be on hand whenever wanted next season.

Considering the hard time the Kid had to coax Johnny Coulon, then bantam champion of the world into the ring and risk his title, Williams, with Joe Barrett, in his corner, met and defeated every ban tam of note, including Charlie Ledoux and Eddie Campi, both claimants to the French title, and Alt Mansfleld, the English champion. On September 22, 1913, Champion Coulon, and Williams met, at Madi son Square Garden, in a 10-round no decision bout, after which Wil liams got the popular newspaper de cision. Then Williams' manager set out to get Coulon in a longer bout to a decision, in which the title wou'd go to the winner. All through that year, and 1914, Williams kept after Coulon, to battle, even offering the champion the entire purse, with an additional bonus of SI,OOO if he would fight. This bout was finally forced upon Coulon by the sporting writers, similar to the way they forced Wil lard to battle Jack Dempsey. Williams Winner The match came oft between Wil liams and Coulon on June 9th, at Vcr- Eddie Roush Is in Game Because He Likes It Cincinnati, Oct. 7. —Eddie Roush, who Cincinnati fans expect will be an important factor in the present world series games, would not be playing baseball to-day but for an inherent love of the game which en abled him to overcome a severe handicap some years ago. When Roush first began playing professional baseball he was an in fielder and a right-handed thrower. Now he is an outfielder, considered to be one of the best in either league and throws with his left hand. The change was brought about through an accident in which Roush's right arm was broken. It didn't heal and when the cqst was taken ofr, Roush found that his arm was so weak that It would be impossible for him to ever whip the ball across the diamond with his old speed. First he decided to quit baseball —but found that was easier said than done. With the warm weather came the longing to get hold of a bat and glove—but the right arm had no strength. Determined not to be kept out of the game, Roush decided to learn to throw with his left hand. It took him a year—but he stuck to it. Now he is considered one of the greatest throwing outfielders in the game as many National League base runners will testify. Gleason Still Hopeful, but Moran Is Smiling Cincinnati, Oct. 7.—With the Reds victorious in four of the five games, Manager Moran to-day predicted a victory in the sixth game. "It's all over but the shouting," said Moran. "We'll win again to day, no matter who Gleason pitches. Tr JUR RISBTTRG non, Cal., the records show that Wil liams won the championship with I ease, when he knocked out Coulon in the third round. "Why shouldn't I laugh, said Battling Williams, "when Lew Tendler, refuses the sum of $7,- 500 guarantee, and a chance to win Leonard's title." This shows the spirt of the great est bantam of all times, who Is to start an active campaign to-morrow night, before the Oiympla Club, in Steelton, in a 10-round fight with Terry Brooks, another youngster, whose spirit is the same as Williams. "The harder they come the more cred it I get for winning." says Brooks. "With Willams out of my way, the road to the real championship battle with Pete Herman is easy." The Norfolk boy's victory over Toung Chaney, who beat Herman, one year ago. shows that Williams will have a tough road to travel. Other Good Boats Young Fulton, the AUentown ban tam. and the best ever seen in these parts, will meet Little Jeff, In a spec ial bout of six rounds. Billy Attlcks, the local knockout king will meet Jack Cleaver, of Allentowji, while Hal Shay, of Harrisburg's best feather weight will tackle tough game in Harry Cronlc, of York, In the opening bout. My players feel that the world's championship, already within their grasp, is theirs. The Reds have played championship ball all the way through, and I am proud of be ing their manager. "Eller pitched one of the greatest games that ever won a world's series yesterday. He couldn't be touched, that's all." Manager Qlcason, of the Sox, also gave great credit to Eller, but he declared that the Sox were not play ing the brand of baseball that won them the American League pennant. "The team hasn't shown itself to bo the pennant machine that won the American league flag," Gleason said. "Everything has been against us. The players themselves were not right yesterday. But that does not detract from Eller's great pitching. "The Sox will fight until the last man is out. Although the odds are against us, we are not quitters. I have every hope that we'll win out yet. Stranger things have happened. I expect to start Kerr to-day, and if he's right he'll win." Middletown A.

Pat Moran Pins Faith on His Great Fall Team; He Is a Good Manager Cincinnati, Oct. 7.—Just as a good golfer must keep his eye on the ball, so must a champion baseball player keep his mind on the game. The ability of the Cincinnati players to think baseball, dream baseball, talk baseball and live baseball has made them a pennant-winning a£* gregatlon, according to Manager "Pat" Moran. "If the fellows had thought about automobiles, shows and everything else in the world but baseball they would not be where they are now," ■aid Moran In explaining how his team captured the National League flag, and became contenders for the world's championship. "I guess that holds good In most any game you are playing. A player must be inter ested and he must think about his game. When he does this he is al ways up and coming, taking advant age of every opportunity." "Pat" has been characterized as a miracle man, wonderful leader and so on through the catalog of descriptive phrases, but he modestly insists the players are responsible for the success of the Cincinnati club. • "I have a great ball club, that's the whole story," he said. "Not only is it a great ball club, but it is a club of fellows who take care of themselves and put their minds on their work. No man can make good In any line of life unless he has the instruments to succeed with. I have a good bunch of players, so give them the credit. All I did was to hold the boys together. They won the ball games." Followers of the Reds, however, will not let Moran take a back seat without showering some praise on him. They say that Cincinnati had good players, but that it took a good manager to mould them into a winning machine. Any Cincinnati fanwill swear that "Pat" is a good manager. Chester Next Attraction in Game With Maroons Chester High School will be Tech's opponent over on the Island Satur day afternoon In the third game of the season for the Maroon team. The Delaware county boys are one of the fastest teams In the Philadelphia district, and when they oppose Tech, it will be the first time that the two schools have entered Into athletic relations. Captain Frank and his colleagues were given a rest yesterday after noon by Coach Smith. After their 73 to 0 score over Wllkes-Barre, the coach decided to give the squad a rest. The scrubs were also in need of a rest after their hard contest down at Shlppensburg Normal School. To-day the squad was put through a hard scrimmage in preparation for the Chester struggle. While Tech made a good showing on the offense, the eleven showed a tendency to fumble too frequently. This will have to be overcome if the Maroon lads want to keep their goal line uncrossed during the season.

It was in the sixth, when most everything happened, that this occurred. Groh had slid to the plate, accumulating large holdings of baseline real estate on the fa cade of his anatomy, and Schalk claimed that he touched the, runner before the latter had plowed his way to the rubber. In his excitement he jumped up at Umpire Rtgler's pro tector, and with his fists Jolted the judicial air there impounded. Rigler pointed to the coop, and Schalk, mumbling things that the late Noah Webster never encountered In his re searches, made way for Lynn, who caught the remainder of the game for the Sox.
