Folding Indians Try Again Today at Detroit |
Tiger McCosky Is Out on a 3 Steal
a
Even Feller Couldn’t Stop Tiger Drive
Rowe and Milnar Go To the Mound.
By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.—|§
The Detroit Tigers, regarded as humpty - dumpties last spring, were back in undisputed possession of the American League lead today for the fourth time in 13 days and, to all intents and purposes, it will take more than Cleveland’s “Team of Mutiny”
to oust them again. The Tigers’ blazing finish yesterday before 22,508 fans at Detroit, which enabled them to rescue a game almost lost, put the doughty Detroiters in a position to deal, the Indians a fatal blow in the second game of the series today. Schoolboy Rowe, leading the American League pitchers with 15 victories and only three defeats, was primed tol scalp the Indians. He's beaten the Tribe twice this season and hasn’t lost to them. Cleveland must depend on Al Milnar, uncer-
tain southpaw who hasn’t registered
a decision against the Tigers ail year. If ever a team had another in a position to hammer home a crushing loss, that’s where the Indians had the Tigers yesterday.
Vitt Yanks Harder
With one out in the eighth, the Indians led, 4-1... Up to this point Mel Harder had allowed the Tigers only three hits. He had them eating out of his hand. Five more outs and he was over the hill. But at this critical moment Harder weakened slightly and
Manager Oscar Vitt weakened even
more. When Harder walked McCosky and Gehringer singled, Vitt quit on his pitcher. He stopped the game and brought in Bob Feller. . That proved a tragic mistake. Feller never got a man out. Hank Greenberg slugged him for a single. So did Rudy York and Frank Higgins. These three hits, combined with Beau Bell's fumble on York's single, gave the Tigers a 5-4 lead. Joe Dobson replaced Fel=ler, and Pete Fox singled. After a squeeze play failed with Higgins being caught at the plate, Bruce Campbell, an ex-Indian, singled, scoring Fox with what proved to be the winning tally.
Tribe Cracks Under Pressure
The two clubs. still have five games left to-play with each other but Cleveland's lack of ability to come through in the clutches and Detroit’s Indian sign on Feller make the Tigers favorites to come through with one of the biggest upsets in baseball history. An illustration of ‘Cleveland’s failure to take advantage of opportunities was demonstrated strikingly yesterday. They knocked Buck Newsom out of the box, and had the Tigers on the run but couldn’t protect their advantage. - The Indians made 15 hits, including four doubles, and scored only five runs while the Tigers made nine hits, all singles, and outscored them. In the last night game of the season, the St. Louis Browns edged the Chicago White Sox, 7-6, before 10,263 persons. Harlond Clift homered for the Browns in the first with the] bases loaded while Jack Rosenthal hit one for the White Sox.
Chialledon Runs
In Narragansett
PAWTUCKETT, R. I, Sept. 21 (U." P.).—Challedon carried his bright red and yellow silks back into New England today in a tripleply attempt to score a second straight triumph in the Narragansett Special, tighten his grip on the 1940 handicap championship and skip up to sixth position among the great money winning horses of all time. : The husky Maryland-bred colt was rated an even money choice on the early line at Narragansett Park. Challedon, already winner of $297,260, faced 10 rivals. The track was fast. - The opposition was headed by the Greentree Stable’s Hash, who came in eight pounds lower than Challedon at 122 pounds. - The rest of the field included: Gilded Knight, 110; Viscounty, 116; Dit, 107; Honey Cloud, 112; Sun Dodger, 102; Burning Star, 112; Busy K., 100; Counterpoise, 107, and

Derringer Hopes Those Blasted Yanks Get in the Series; 'We Haven't Forgotten Those Four Straight Lickings'
By HENRY M'LEMORE
United Press Staff Correspondent
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 21.—If Paul
Derringer were a miracle worker off
the mound as | well as on it, he would see to |it that both the Detroits and the Clevelands collapsed, and that the Yankees got into the World Series this year. Paul was one of the Cincinnati Reds who spent an afternoon off here yesterday listening to the battle between the Indians and the Tigers, and for the life of him he couldn’t work up much enthusiasm
|over the outcome.
“I'm still hoping that something will happen so the Yanks will get in the series against us,” the hig pitcher said. “I sure would like to have andther [crack at those fellows. And so would everybody else on the team. We haven't forgotten those four straight lickings, and with the club we have this year we could take em.” Did this mean that Paul felt the 1940 Reds were much stronger than the Reds of a year ago? “Just 25 fo o0 per cent stronger, that’s all,” Derringer answered. “All you've got to do is look in the

record and see the number of games we've won by one run this year. It’s an amazing number—38, I think—and that’s the proof of a
great team. Anybody can win games
by six and seven runs, but the good ones to win are those close ones.’ I asked Paul which team the Reds would rather tackle, the Tigers or the Indians. “Doesn’t make much difference. We can lick either one of them. “Of course, we know a little more about the Tigers. We played exhibition games against them and have a pretty fair line on their pitching and hitting. As for the Indians, not many of us have ever seen them in uniform, but we'll know plenty about them if they get in the series. “McKechnie went up to Detroit today to take a look at the two American League clubs, and he'll find out plenty. When he comes
# back we'll know all we need to
know about their power. That's what you want to find out, you know, the power of a club. You can’t keep a team from getting singles, but singles don’t beat you very often. What you need to know is how to pitch to hitters to keep them from hitting for extra bases.” I asked Paul if he thought he would be as good a pitcher this
year as he was in the last Series. “I oughta be a better one,” he said.
“My arm is just as good as ever and I'm a lot smarter. I've learned more about pitching this year than you'd believe. It’s my fourteenth year in baseball, I know, but you'd be surprised how many things came up this year that I never knew about before.”
‘Derringer said that if Ernie Lombardi’s ankle didn’t heal in time for the Series (the big catcher is not with the club, but hobbling about his home ir Cincinnati) the Reds wouldn’t be sunk. “We'll miss Ernie sure, particularly his bat, but there’s nothing wrong with Jimmy Wilson's catching. He has caught. seven or eight games since he got back in action, and everyone was a winning game. He's a right smart one back of that plate.” Derringer, as well as Walters and Thompson will take their regular turn until the season ends. “The Cards and Pirates are still fighting it ‘out for third money you know,” Derringer explained,
“and | besides, we don’t need any rest.”

had to admit that gridiron garb is hardly the thing to wear under a sizzling 90- -degree sun, and only had to mount the scales today to testify
to this. At that, the heat couldn’t stop Shortridge’s Blue Devils, who romped to a 35-0 victory over Brazil in the baking dish that is the Shortridge Stadium. Crispus Attucks was, another that had a daylight date, smothering the Indiana Boys’ School, 40-17. Tech’s backers wlio followed the Green team to Southport and filled the temporary bleachers found the trip well worthwhile in the final score: Tech, 26; Southport, 0.

Gun Nips Irish Drive
The final gun cut short a 94-yard;
Irish march which might have resulted in victory. had there been time. Noblesville tied the score with less than three minutes to play on a Ben Edwards-to-Dick Kinder pass and then Ott Hurrle, Irish fullback, personally led a drive that put the hall on the six-yard stripe. That’s where the game ended. Cathedral scored first when Bob McCalley passed to Kenny Gieman for an il-yard gain and a touchdown in the second quarter. | Jim Mitchell, whom Coach Eob Nipper has groomed to fill the shoes of Kenny Smock, stepped away for two Shortridge touchdowns against Brazil. The first was a 55-yard sprint on the second play of the game, and the second was a short gallop from a spinner formation in the third quarter after three identical plays had set the scoring stage. Chuck Benjamin, Shortridge's fancy : dan of basketball, tallied the second touchdown from close in after Capt. Bili Al- : lerdice had advanced the ball Chuck Benjamin on a 30-vard dash. Benjamin's second score was nullified by a clipping fine, but Bob Paddock, another basketballer, repeated to make it legal,
Costello Steals a Pass
Tom Costello tied the .blue and white ribben on the victory package by intercepting a Brazil pass near the finish and romping 65 yards to payoff territory. Three extra points were credited to Allerdice, one to Stackhouse and the fifth to Strack. It’s ne secret now that Coach Robert Ball of Tech has a doublethreat man in Willard Reed, alreacy recognized for his ring doings in these parts. This amateur fighter reeled off 75 yards for one touchdown against Southport’s Cardinals and laid a beautiful pitch in the arms of Charles Fisher in the end zone from 25 yards out for the second. Tech’s first two touchdowns were heartbreakers for Southport, any way you look at it. The Cardinals held the Big Green for four downs inside the 10-yard line early in the game, only to have their kick out blocked by Herb Turner, who fell on it behind the goal. The second score was the result of Fisher's trek around end on.a fourth down. And a word should be added for Robert Hennigar, who came out of the. Tech line to dropkick two extra points. It was proof that this veteran play of the game isn’t dead yet.
Ulm Licks Redskins
Manual’'s defeat can be laid to the Redskins’ inability to put the brakes on one Mr. Ulm of JefTerson of Lafayette. ‘Of the four Jefferson touchdowns recorded, Mr. Ulm tallied three and, for good measure, added an extra point. The fourth six-pointer was' the work of Lecklitner on a five-yard smash.

The tie spoiled Rushville’s record in the South Central Conference, the Lions already having two games marked up in the victory column. It was the first start for Washington’s defending champions.

Slewed in the opening period, the Rocket machine rolled deep into Plainfield territory in the second, with Bill Steck getting the credit for the touchdown.
