H. E. Chicago iiQtsBMHBM Cincinnati {i]jlil&lMMl3!ll3 MUU Cincinnati, Oct. B.—Fighting with t heir backs to tile wail but hopeful licspite their four defeats, the White Sox will meet the Reds to-day in the seventh game of the world's ser ies. The Reds and the 32,000 fans who witnessed yesterday's ten-in ning battle feel confident that the contest would be the decisive one and that before night the men of Moran would be proclaimed base ball champions of the world. Before the game started it was believed that Manager GleastJn of the Sox would send Eddie Cicotte lated as the master pitcher of the American Eeague, to the mound tr face the Red legs. Cicotte tried twice to stop them and failed, but Gleason has every confidence that he can master the Reds if his arm is in condition. !t is possible, however, that "Big Bill" James may be Glea son's eleventh-hour choice. Prepare to Celebrate Supporters of the Reds believed that "Slim" Sallee would be Man ager Moran's pitching selection. Sallee scored the Red's second vic tory of the series and is declared to be ready to take his turn on the pitching mound again. All Cincinnati is getting ready to celebrate the expected victory of the Reds and there was a wild rush to-day to get tickets for this af ternoon's contest. The sale opened last night and hundreds stood in line for hours awaiting to purchase choice box and grandstand seats. If the Sox are victorious in to-day's contest, the teams will have to re turn to Chicago for the eighth game Thursday. But admirers of the Reds are confident this trip will be un necessary. That sixth game yesterday, going i to ten innings and seeing the Reds beaten five to four was full of thrills and erratic baseball. The Reds puss 7 up several opportunities, something they have not been doing in the series. The Reds made eleven hits the Sox made three errors, two men walked and one was hit —out of the chances they collected only four | runs. Gleason Now Hopeful Despite the three errors, the Sox j defense froze up whenever the Reds i were getting dangerou-j. The Sox j seemed to re t'tze tim" a humiliating defeat faced then unless a brace , was taken and the team played championship ball in spots. After the game Manager Glea j son declared that the Sox had last hit their championship stride and although beaten in four of the i six games were far from out of the | race. The Sox seemed to he fired ■ with a new spirit, which they hoped I would turn the tide of defeat in to victory. Heated Arguments Despite the Reds' setback yester day the crowds, that waited at the box ofF.ces of Redland Fie'd to buy seats were of the same proportions as those that gathered there on the days previous. The ines stretched for blocks up and down the streets and several heated arguments had to bo settled by the police. They were usualy debates on the merits of the two teams as shown in yes tet day's contest. The probable lf?ie-up for to-day's game follows: CINCINNATI. CHICAGO. Rath, 2b. J. Collins, r.f.

New York Considering Prehistoric Garb By Associated Press. New Vork, Oct. B. With the laundry workers' strike entering its third day the average New Yorker to-day inspected his dwindling stock of clean linen and then wondered if, when even his flannel shirts were exhausted, he might escape sartorial criticism by donning a leopard skin or some other garb of pre-historic days.

ATTEMPT MADE v TO WRECK STEEL MILL WITH BOMB Time Device Placed on Roof of McKeesport Plant; Tears Roof From Structure MEN FLEE IN TERROR Workmen Are Panicstricken When Glass and Debris Fall Around Them By Associated Press• Pittsburgh. Oct. 8. —An attempt was made to wreck the plant of the American Sheet and Tin Plate Com pany at McKecfiport early to-day. when a missile believed to have been a liomb, was thrown on the shipping department building. It exploded, tearing a large hole in the roof of the structure. No one was injured. The police believe the explosion was caused by a time bomb placed upon the roof of the building. Flee In Terror Workmen on the night shift at their posts directly under where the missile exploded, fled in terror when the explosion occurred and lots of shattered wood and glass were hurl ed in all directions. Foreign resi dents of the district, panic stricken, rushed from their homes into the streets. The report of the blast coul I be heard for blocks and attracted hun dreds of persons to the scene. Although several hundred mill guards and police were rushed to the plant immediately after the ex plosion, no trace of the person or persons responsible for the blast could be found. The tin plate plant is one of the largest concerns of its kind in the country and has been affected by the steel workers' strike. During the past week, however, many men are said to have reported for work. The police say that a number of these men have been threatened with death if they continued to remain at work. They believe that the bomb was used to terrorize the workmen who have deserted the ranks of the strikers in that district.
