    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.

the fact that they get everything

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

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

WILLIAMS HAS RECORD TO
BACK UP TITLE CLAIMS
if
JOHNNIE>"KID" /jM
WILLIAMS £OP
All the talk between Benny Leon
ard. the lightweight champion of the
world, and Lew Tendler, Philadel
phia's leading aspirant for the title,
brings smiles to the Baltimore Tiger,
Kid Williams. 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. C. to Have

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.

Catcher Schalk Is First
to Be Put Out of Series
Ray Schalk, premier catcher of
the American League, or any other
league, according to his admirers,
came forward as the first player to
be chased by an umpire during the
series. 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.
