TO LIFE
PENNANT or no pennant, Bill McKechnie already has performed a miracle with the Cincinnati Reds. . . . He picked up a last place club which had forfeited the interest and support of the Queen City sports goers. He transformed that cellar club into a contender and won over the fans of the Aoerish Rhineland in such large numbers that prosperity came back to Crosley Field in astonishing fas! lon.

the Redlegs drew barely more than 300,000 paid adm ns at home. When McKechnie succeeded Charlie Dressen and Signa ¢ a three-year contract at a reported $20,000 a season he got the promise of $5000 extra if the Reds would pass the 400,000 mark in attendance, another $5000 if he lifted the team out of the National League basement. = x = & = =

At the close of the seaBill will receive his second check. If, by some chance, the Reds pop down in front at the wire, there probably will be a third bonus stuffed into MeKechnie's jeans. The Reds think that Charlie English, this year with Los Angeles and last year with Kansas City, will become the regular third sacker at Crosley Field in 1939. ... The Redlegs will try Eddie Joost of the 1938 Blues at second. Cincinnati is planning to add 4500 seats to its stands before the start of another season. . ..

Turnesa's lead was won with approach shots that dropped dead to the yellow flags that were whipping | in a stiff north wind. Time after
time he found himself trapped and in the rough, but the youngster who learned golf from six brothers who are professionals made sterling recoveries.
