WAI | — O'Dowd Scores Easy Victory Over Ratner in Fast Battle for Middleweight Title. Cuppa, 1919. by The Prem Mettishing Co, (the New York Evening Work) “QQPBED usually carries ail before S it everywhere. It gets you to your train in time; it gets a horse ecross @ winner; it gets a yacht home tm front, and it got Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight title holder, the hoaors fa his middleweight championship Bevt against Augie Ratner, the A. E. F. champion, at the Armory A. A. of Jereey City last night. It was a great night for a fight, and when the two stars stepped into tho emntre of the ring for their instruc- dens from Referee Dan Sullivan the @ab was comfortably filled. probably were only about five hun- dred empty seats. It waa neither too ‘warm nor too cool. So the fans sat back in anticipation of seeing a well- contested bout—and they did that. O'Dowd won on his speed alone. It ‘was his speed that kept him on top of Ratner all the time and prevented the Iatter from setting himself so that he eould deliver the mighty punch he e@onceals in his right hand. Mik speed, or, better still, his aggressive- mess, swopt him on to victory. As one turns over the result of the eontest in his mind he cannot help inking what Ratner might havo @ene had he been properly advised. It ‘was the general opinion that he has the stiffer punch of the two-and he is fairly clever, with a style fashion-d e@omewhat after that of Lightweight CBampion Benny Leonard. In the second round the Bronx boy @ught in the manner that his friende expected he would fight. He used his left hand in forceful style, keeping O'Dowd away from him, and every mow and then scoring some blows that had plenty of steam bebind = There|~ CINCINNATI FANS r PITCHERS WHO WILL FIGURE IN THE WORLD SERI — RING, cinainn ar, rN White Sox Are 7 to 5 Favorites| There, but the Red Rooters Don’t Seem Anxious to Back Their Team. ceengpiceinie By Bozeman Buiger.

Jf people from the Past and from Chicago have @ notion that the White Sox are going to win on form why, of course, our fellows will grab the best of the price. When you go back to New York let it be known that a Cincinnatian may be a wild eyed rooter but he is never a sucker.” ‘That whout sizes up the situation. Rhinelanders are storming the gutes for Pat Moran but they, thrifty eouls that they are, are grabbing the best of the odds. ‘And the funny thing of itis that the odds are 6 to 4 on the White Sox in New York, while here they are 7 to 6. A lot of f ho came here expecting to a better price and to find wild-eyed bettors are wofully disappointed, Already, two days ahead of the jump-off, fans have been standing in line to get the best tickets in the first-come-first-served section of the grounds. Already the hotels are dilled to overflowing, but there is g0 great excitement jn Cincinnati, A tour of the hotels and local betting places exposed a great vacancy, a dearth of congestion. Most of the gang had gone to the track and there were not enough outsiders to get excited about the chances of Pat Moran and the Reds. Out at the park the Cincinnati manager had his men going through @ little practice, the Mayor was is- suing ullimatams against — ticket profiteers, the National Commission was giving out explanations of how the crush and high prices were an. avoidable, but that was all, To-aay Cincinnay was free of baseball mad- ness. ‘The one thing that brightened the hearts of these loyal Rhinelanders to-your- TWO STORES Broadway and Ninth St., 30 East 42d St. arrive, constitute a civic enemy.
