hroke the hearts of Cicotte and Williams
ud In aplte ef the fact that It wai his
maiden appearance In the big baaeball
f lansjc. he pitched one of the beat games j
in ; world's serfes history.
OX TAKE HEABT ' I
Tt was a vastly different crew of Sox
that turned - In a victory, today. The
leiperate situation which had their
backs to the wall, combined with the
plaudits of the home town fans and, the
super pitching of Kerr, made them a
most dangerous crew. ' j
Clean hitting got the Hose away to a
lead that nevef surrendered. Joe Jack
son started the scoring machinery with
the first Sax hit in the second Inning.
Kelsch bunted . and Fisher heaved the
hall to center field In an effort to atop
the "Shoeless" one at second. The er-.j
ror put Jackson on third and felsch on
second. Then Chick Gandil. who failed
In the pinch twice yesterday, delivered
a single that scored both of them.
- Again in the fourth the Sox scored.
Kleberg got a triple that Neale. should
have held to a single. i Schalk then
, pulled an Infield hit and the Swede
Hcored. It was the last run of the day.
MAY BE CICOTTE T0M0B80W
.The crowd today was somewhat of a
disappointment.- Apparently some of
the Box rooters became faint-hearted,
as the result 'of the doublt pummeling
handed their pets at Cincinnati. Less
than 80.000 fans were in the park, less
' than the attendance at both', games at
1 Itedland. But what they lacked, in
numbers they made up in noise. 'The
Hox now have a new lease on life. To
morrow is another day and Cicotte may
. have another chance to redeem himself.
: He haa begged Gleason for the chance.
- King: seemed - a , likely Red selection,
though -it is possible that Luque, on his
showing today, may get the call. -Eller
also is in shape to go to the front for
the Red.
SOX, BACK ON HOME GROUNDS,
, HAVE GREAT HOPES OF VICTORY
Comiakey Park. Chicago, Oct. ; 3,
. The third clash for the highest honors
In baseball was staged under weather
conditions far closer to ideal than . the
first two in Cincinnati. It waa a bit
muggy, and the sun radiated consider
able heat, but cooling breezes from the
west made it comfortable all around.
It was a sort of "dc-or-die" combat
for the pale-hosed athletes and the
multitude, realising the desperate plight
of Its favorites, aided to the limit with
its vocal powers. i :
LOSERS ARE CHEERED
v If it felt any discouragement, it was
re ful to conceal its feelings. The ap
pearance of the Sox on the field pro

fore- game time waa that the Sox 'were
all set for a spectacular 'comeback that
they. were coming from behind to annex
another section of world's championship
bunting. And so the rather bold wager
ing of the Rhineland fans was snapped UP
.These were .the odds prior , to game
time: -' -
Five to'" two that; the Reds ytn the
series, ; . ' - " -
Three to two that the Rede win this
afternoon's. game. . . ' ,
One to five that the Red will win four
straight. 5 '- - ;
One to ten that the Reds take the series
fn five straight --: ' ' " -j
MII,I CHEER FOR REDS " '. ' '
. The bleacher sectlons-one In left field
and the other In right were filled pracw
tlcally to capacity by . 12:30. i And so
were, the two pavilions. -But there was
only a scattering of fanatics hi - the
grandstands at that hour.. It was around.
1 p. jn. when the;"hlghbrow seathoiders
began to -report, and from that time on
they came in battalions. '
: Only a mild cheer greeted the Reds
whenHhey reported for practice at JSMQ
in direct contrast with the mighty ova
tion for the Sox when they;took the field
five minutes later.- . - ' ". ' .
Flushed With victory In the .first twq
(me and confident they can clean up
the Sox In straight-games now, the. Reds
arrived this "morning full of ginger.
They came like conquering heroes; and
so- far they are all of that. v r-
The Sox deserve credit for. fighting.
They are a game bunch and havo taken
their two defeats like real fellows.-They
stood in their positions' in the first
game like helpless kittens while the
Reds murdered the offerings of ' Eddie
Cicotte. In .'the second game they saw
Lefty; Williams contribute to the second
victory -of the Tied vllle -aggregation by
handing out bases on balls in the fourth
Inning, Strangely enough the fourth
inning Is a big Inning" fof the Reds. It
has been so in the first' two games.
WHERE'S THAT MIGHT, BATf
The vaunted hitting power of the Sox.
In the pinches has been noticeable for
Its absence. They have fielded well and
have , fought "well, but they have' with
ered 'under, the scorching wizardry of
Reuther' and Sallee, falling to come
through with - sadly needed hits. -The
Sox cannot say they had no chance to
win yesterday" a game, for in at, least
two innings they could have made the
Reds feel their power had they delivered
hits In the pinches.
A HEROIC TRIO
So far two players both wearing the
regalia of the National ' league have
covered themselves with glory. Reuther's
great pitching and sensational hitting
gave -him the' honors in the first game.
Larry Kopfs timely triple with two
runners on the paths in yesterday's game
was the rap that brought victory to
Cincinnati. Sallee's pitching was noth
ing out of the ordinary, though he must
be given great credit for the way he
.handled himself at critical" moments.
BRItXIAWT RED TRIUMPH
There. Is but one thing that may be
said of the series to date It is a won
derful and brilliant triumph fof a great
and game bunch of players. -
The Reds deserve all the credit. Some
Sox sympathizers may say that Moran's
men got the breaks an the second game.
But it is the rule that the breaks go to
the stronger team and the .Reds have
proved their worth-
Gleason will probably send Cicotte
back into the . fray tomorrow. He be
lieves that the master of the shine bail
will win If he faces the Reds again. So,
in case the Sox should rally and take
today's game with Kerr or one of the
other hurlers on the mound, Gleason
figures that he can even matters up
with the Moran men. . . '
The confidence that comes with "vic
tory? i however, will give the Reds a
weighty advantage. Already game to
the very core, they now appear to have
the Sox at their mercy. They' will be a
harder ball club to beat today because
of their successes.

LAWMAKING BODY
Select Committees Experienced
in Matters of Finance to Draw
up Important Federal Bill.
WILL EMBODY REFORM PLANS
For First Time in History Group
of Six Men Will Decide on
Goyernment Expenses for Year
Twenty men today have the pow
er of determining the financial fu
ture of the United States. They
comprise the select committees on
budget of the house and senate
chosen to report on six bills and
five resolutions introduced at this
session of congress, and to make an
investigation with the idea of form-s
ulatlng a practical budget plan
which . may be adopted by the na
tion. The first of the budget hearings was
held during the past week at the na
tional capitol. The expert testimony of
bankers business men, political econ
omists and others, has contributed many
Interesting facts which wilt undoubtedly
aid the lawmakers in drawing up a bill
that will be acceptable to congress.
Members of the house and senate who
make up these two Important commit
tees are, almost without exception, old
time and experienced lawmakers. Be
cause of the non-partisan character of
the committees and because of the as
sociation of their members with the most
Important legislative problems "before
congress In the past decade, it is safe to
say that their recommendations will be
accepted by congress with only slight
changes.
COMMITTEE TO DECIDE BUDGET
Therefore, upon the deliberations of
this mere handful of men will depend
whether the United States will continue
to be administered financially under a
System that is inefficient and irrational,
or whether there will be recommended
for incorporation In our federal govern
ment a comprehensive and definite bud
get plan.
This is the first time In the history of
the nation ' that a momentus matter of
this character has been referred to a
small body of national representatives.
It Is the outgrowth of discussion that
arose In 1912 following the appointment
of former President Taft's commission
on economy and efficiency. Mr. Taft
realized the inadequacies of the system
by which funds are provided for running
each of the ten major departments of
government. The primary object of his
commission was to guard against ex
travagance and duplication in depart
mental activities.
A hostile congress prevented the car
rying out of his project and up to this

year there were only spasmodic efforts
on the part of congress to agitate budget
rerarm. x.
Early at this session of congress, poli
tical readers were skeptical - of agree
ment upon a measure which would meet
with the' approval of a majority In both
house and senate. One of the reasons
for this was that it . was - feared that
neither house of congress would care to
relinquish Its prerogatives in initiating
money bills. Another reason was that
those actually in favor of budgetary re
form held views diametrically opposite
tn regard to the responsibility of - the
executive department for a budget.
Ilalf of official Washington sides with
Representative Good, who believes lht
a bureau of the budget, delegated with
power to draw up department estima.,
should be-"'In the office of the presi
dent." The other half believes with Sen
ator McCormlck that this bureau of the
budget should be "in the office ef the
secretary of the treasury" and respon
sible to that official..
' Because of the Importance of proposed
budget reform of the power that will be
wielded by the select committees In
drawing up an efficient and practical
budget bill, it Is ef Interest to consider
the members who make up the two com
mittees. They follow:
v James W. Good (Iowa), chairman
Willis, C. Hawley (Oregon), Henry W.
Temple (Pennsylvania), George It Tlnk
ham (.Mass.). Job. W. Byrns (Tertn.),
Claude Kitchen N. Caro.). John N.
Green Tex)r Edw, T. Taylor; (Colo.).
Everett -B. Howard (Okla.) compose
the house select committee. Medill Mc
Cormlck (111.), chairman, Heed Smoot ;
Utah). Miles Potndexter (Wash), I. U
Lenroot Wia). Walter K. Edge (N. J.).
Henry W. Keyes (N. II.), F. M. Slm-

Jos. O. Wolcott (Del ), and Wll-
Ham B. King (Utah) compose the senate
select committee.

The JaDanese arovernment banned aold
Imports during the war in cooperation
with the United States, to prevent a j
withdrawal of large Japanese gold de- i
posits from this country. Japanese
bankers in New Tork say that Japa
nese credits now total 8260,000,000, an,
tncrease of $100,000,000 in the last three
months. It Is estimated that $200,000,000
of this belongs to the government. Japan
has been demanding- dollar payments for
goods sold in Europe because European
money, is so low. The Japanese gov
ernment has boueht Liberty bonds and
United States government, issues esti-
mated to total 850,000,000. As Japanese
money rates are now very high, bank
ers expect, their gold import ban will
soon be lifted. , v
