nightcap "Fiddler Hill" MeGfl* duplicated Cooper's performance with another 4-hlt shutnut yesterday, beating Rut ky Walters, top winner of the majors with 27 notches on hi* pitching belt Allowing only one ’ runner to reach third base, V-G-I slapped the Red* down. 4«. for bls 12th triumph against five defeats Walter* gave up only seven hit* ' In losing hl* llth game, but one of them was Terry Moore's homer and three of them wore bunched In one frame. So the Rads, who had been an ' confident nf grabbing their first pennant In 20 years yesterday behind Walters, most rely on Paul , Derringer, the league'* leading pitcher with a rcord of 24 and 7. hi today's finale Big Paul has won . t straight, but In his last appear-1 ance against the Cardinal* they held him to a 3-3 tie In nine inning*. Regardless of how well lierringer pitches, the Reds' cause will be hopeless nnleas they nn--hackle themselves at the plate. Opposing Derringer will be either Mak Lanier, rookie southpaw, or Curt Davis. veteran right hander who was knocked out of the bog in the second inning of the first same fainter has won two game* snd lost one In the event of a card victory today. St. Louis cannot win the pennant unless the Pirates take two ont of three from the Reds in the three windup games at Pitts-1 Imrgh In that event, the Cards wonld have to take three straight from the Cubs to win the flag by half a game While the Reda are trying desperately to get the victory never sary to clinch the flag, the Cabs, last year's champs, are fighting to salvage third place. They regain'd the third spot yesterday from ithe idle Rodger* by taking two ini inning battles from the Pirates. SIS and 9-5 A 2-rwn rally on ix-iber* double and singles by Russell and Mattick won the open er. A 4-run rally in the tenth off Bill Swift copped the nightcap Angle Galan led the Cubs' Kbit attack tn the second game with four singles. Hank la-iher hit homer No 24. Detroit reeled off Its sixth I straight by making seven hit* count for a* many runs in a 7-4 : victory over the Rrowns. Charlie Gehringar hit a homer with one ' on In the eighth The Cleveland Indians took over third place In the American league by a half game when they swept both ends of their afternoon 1 night doubleheader with the «'hitago White Sox, 5-2 and 7-5. Harry Eisenstat scattered to hits to best Johnny Rigney, who was wild.

Today’s Sport Parade * By Henry McLemore • New York. Sept 28. — «JJ9 — There are several things concerning the world serie* that I would like you intelligent readers to clear np for me. To begin with, who was the inspired man. woman, or < hild who thought up the name for the yearly battle between the National and American league winners. and what was hl* Justifies tion for such an all-embracing title* As g matter ot fact it Is as exclusive »a Bailey's Reach, what with teams from only 10 American cities permitted to contest for a right to play in it. There might be terrific team* ia Tulaa or Tokyo or Ttmbuctoo but you can tm agine the reception they'd get it they showed up at the scene of the wo ta aerie* early in October and said that they thought they were the beat baseball players in the world and would like to play for the championship of the world. Being very literal minded. I rag gest that ta the futute it be re ferred to as; "the New York Chi • age-Boeton-Ctac tauati ■ PittsburghPhiladelphta - Detroit • St Louis-Washington-Cleveland serie* • Or. more briefly, “the NYCBBPPDSL WC bortb." Another point 1 would like tc have < leered up is this: is the winner of the world series always the best ball club in either of the two league** Maybe you say yes I say no. Take the approaching world aertea. for example If the Yankees should be beaten by either Cincinnati or St. Ix>ui*. the fact •till would remain that the Yankee* are the heat team ta the big leagues Seven games are not enough to determine th* true ability of a team One or two good pitchers or a couple of hitters who are In a hot streak, can swing a short series Breaks don’t have time- to eve® «p.

Another thing that haa me >lat<hing at my alightly red raven locka in bewilderment la how baseball geta by with the world eerie* ticket sale arrangement It haa de riaed and been using for several year* There I* no *uch thing a* a person being able to buy one ticket to one world eerie® game Kven it a man wanta to go only to Tuesday's game, aay, he atUl must buy ticketa for Wednesday , and Thursday* game* The tick eta are aold only In block* of throe. The only reaaoa for thia, I can figure out la that It la In honor »< each of the baae*. Brat, aeoend, third The block—or. better Milt, the blockhead system, works a hardship os the average baseball fan Take a man who supports his club all year by going once or twice a •nek to games and paying the dollar or so admlaaiun Along cornea the eertee and when this fan wants to see a series game on his day off he Anda It will coot him •lE.W. the price of three It 10 tickets The price shouldn't be boosted so much. In the Brat place. It is the same game, m the same setting, with the same players I'm so Indignant about the whole matter that 1 doubt 111 be in my seat in Yankee stadium opening day before 11 o'clock In the morning. POPE ASKS FOR ■ccnttnurw rttuk raae omui would foment another war In ths future “Only through a general Kumpes n conference. In which (be nations would meet equally and freely, could an enduring peace be aaaured without the predominance of any nation."
