William Henry Walters, better known as Bm ky. is a lanky, bow legged pitcher for the Cincinnati Reds and yesterday before dusk he gave the Dodgers tile business - hut good! He let them down with seven stingy hits in 11 innings, scored the winning run and snapped the Brooklyn winning streak which had reached nine games. Far Into the night Brooklyn fans, large and small male and female, butcher, baker and candlestick maker, sat on the stoops of their homes and called down maledictions on the head of William Henry Walters. For he now is established solidly as the enemy agent who comes along and puts out the fire every time the Ikidgers get hot. It was exactly a year ago today that the Itodgers. riding a winning streak of nine games- -Brooklyn is beginning to distrust that evil "nine" walked Into Crosley Field. Cincinnati. In an attempt to make It 10 straight. Rosy visions of a pennant curved like a rainbow over the Gowanus canal. Hot arguments were raging In flatbush over whether the Iktdgers should play their part of the world series in Ebbeta Field or rent the Yankee stadium, which has room for more than twice as many of the faithful.
