But those “pore little boys,” the sophomores who only won one and tied one-in an eight-game schedule last season, have grown up, and even the somber Bo said he had “seen improvement in their play.” Whatever may be its football fortunes, you would have to have a heart like a Pharaoh to criticize this or any other Indiana team.

Sept. 27.—Coach John Magnabosco today sought ways to strengthen the pass defense and increase the line charging of the Ball State College team Which meets Grand Rapids here Saturday: Sobered by the defeat handed them last Saturday by Butler, the Cardinal gridders were working tc overcome weaknesses in their play, and Coach Magnabosco has threatened revisions in his starting lineup unless improvement is shown. Grand Rapids, while beaten by Manchester on long passes in the last half, flashed a strong gEound game: against the ‘Spartans in the first half, according to Ball State scouts. For this reason, the Mich-

).—Bucky Walters, the sinker ball artist
the St. Louis
Gambling on Gene Thompson in yesterday's opener, McKechnie carried off a 3-1 victory and thus gave Walters three days of rest instead of two. . Walters’ opponent today will be Fiddler Bill McGee, the Cards’ hot-and-cold right handler who has a record of 11 and 5. ‘He has pitched twice against the Reds, winning, 4-0, on Sept. 4 and losing, 7-5, on Aug.
Bucky After 28th Victory
Walters will go after victory No. 28. He has won six straight and has beaten the Cardinals four -out of five times. The Reds’ plot to win both games and clinch the pennant yesterday was spoile® by rookie Morton Cooper, who many experts claim has the fastest ball in the National League. After Thompson, the Reds’ prize rookie, had pitched the Reds to a 3-1 triumph in the opener, Cooper held -the -Rhinelanders in complete check in the nightcap to score his 11th victory with a fourhit, 6-0 shutout. To put the clincher on the pennant the Reds need only a victory over the Cardinals today or tomorrow. But if the Cards should sweep the two remaining games, then Cincinnati would have to win two out of three from Pittsburgh in the season’s finale providing St. Louis takes its three remaining games from the
Cubs. : Two Aces Left
By gaining an even break yesterday, the Reds just about did everything but clinch the ‘flag because they have Walters and Paul Derringer, their two aces who have won 51 games between them this season, ready to mop up in the two games. Ray Blades, Cards’ manager, led with his two foremost hurlers yesterday, and Curt Davis, a 22-game winner, was knocked out of the box in the first game. Inasmuch as McKechnie gambled with Lee Grissom, who has won only, one game since July 4, the Red’s flidn't waste a pitcher against Cooper's brilliant four-hit. game. Most idolized of the Red heroes today was little Billy. Myers, whose three-run homer won the first-game yesterday. It was only three seasons, back when’ the Cincinnati fans were. riding Myers so hard for his then - erratic fielding that . he ‘expressed a desire to play elsewhere rather than stand the fans’ ‘abuse.
