CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.—No matter what the rest of the Series _ brings forth, the opening game was a graphic demonstration of the different techniques the two leagues employ. Baseball being such a standardized game as to the basic elements, you would suppose all leagues and teams play it alike, This doesn’t happen to be true. For the most part the National League is a one-run-at-a-time or- * ganization; the emphasis is on finesse, moderate power and tight defensive play. The American Leaguers stress the primitive forces of batting violence; they go
all out for big, innings. There never was a time when the Reds were in the ball game yesterday. Their star pitcher, Derringer, failed them in a crisis and before he was removed in the second inning the Tigers had scored five runs. Thus before the game had scarcely started it was over so far as the Reds were concerned. This wouldn’t have been so if the circumstances had been reversed. It is entirely conceivable that the Tigers might have put on an explosive big inning which would have changed the aspects of the situation all around. They have the power to score runs in bunches; the Reds haven't. That's

CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.—Perhaps it would be a smart move to substitute the Louisville Colonels for the Cincin-
nati Reds to battle the violent World Series.
The Kentuckians have been anbeataile for two years in Series play and seem to turn the right key regardless
of the time, the place and the pressure. Manager Jewel Ens of the Indianapolis Indians, who scouted the Detroit Tigers for two weeks for the Reds, touched a match to his sheaf of notes last night and then sought a hideout across the
beautiful Ohio.
“You can’t mastermind five runs in one inning off one of the National League’s ace: pitchers, ” he moaned. The Indianapolis club is represented 100 per cent at the big
league classic. In addition to Ens, hand are Owner Norman Perry Sr., tary Dale Miller and Norman Perry

the Tigers scored those five runs. Newsom turned in a very creditable job but his performance was not one to- inspire the lyrical poets. It" was just a well-pitched game but it was on enough to beat the Reds. If the Reds had had any bite in their attack they might have blasted Newsom off the hill. As it was they pecked away at his miscellaneous offerings all afternoon. They hit him safely in six different innings. They had men on the bases in every inning except the third and the seventh.

COLUMBUS, O,, Oct. 3 (U, P.).—| A big 21-year-old sandy-haired Kid | named Don Scott is faced with the| job of playing two role every Saturday afternoon when the Ohio State football team trots on the field. One part—quarterback: on the team-—he’s ready and willing to play. The other was not his doing nor particularly to his liking, but the 213-pound . senior shoulders the: burden without complaint. Don knows that the newspaper) praise mills are grinding out copy at|
that in every play Don Scott is watched as closely as the entire team. The six-foot quarterback has made himself publicity-proof by not reading the newspapers and magazines. The “would-be” all-America berth given Don in August doesn't have him worried. He thinks the label has. its advantages because as a marked man tacklers will come at him with a vengeance. “It's easy to out-maneuver a man, who's S coming in with intent to kill,” Don said. “Those guys will all we! trying to kill me this fall—I hope.” One of the best liked boys on the Buck squad, “Scottie” pointed out another advantage for the team because all eyes are on him. “If they keep watching me, Straus-

baugh and Langhurst will run their ears off,” he said, referring to Jim Langhurst, captain and fullback, and Jim Strausbaugh, left halfback. In his double role Scott didn’t dominate the game with Pittsburgh last week. As the quarterback he generaled his team to a 30-7 victory. As the much-publicized Scott he lived up to forecasts by tossing two beautiful passes which resulted in touchdowns. He passed four times and made good on two for 61 yards. He carried the ball just twice, for 11
top speed. He's aware of the facttyards, and punted three times for
a total of 125 yards. Back at his home in Canton, 0, Don's father is saving all the clippings abeut the quarterback and the accounts of the games. At the end of the season, Don said, he’ll read them but not before. He battled the publicity jinx once before and he lost. In 1937, Don entered Ohio State as an all-Ohio high school player after he starred at quarterback on a great Canton McKinley team. In his sophomore {year he started strong as a halfback but slipped into oblivion on the
final game against Michigan and
played only 11 minutes. Last season he was switched to the quarterback post and suddenly emerged as the best signal-caller and triple-threat man in the Big Ten.

Seven of the Newark blows, delivered off a trio of Colonels’ hurlers, were for extra bases and among them ,were homers by Alex Kampouris and Leo Nonenkamp. George Washburn, lanky righthander from Skowhegan, Me., went the route for the Bears and gave up only six blows, five of them for extra bases, struck out eight, five of them in the third and fourth innings, and walked two. Tot Pressneil and Al Hollingsworth, two former National League pitchers, were the victims of the Newark assault. Fred Shaffer yielded the fina] run in the ninth.

CHICAGO, Oct. 3 (U.

Thornton Lee, the Sox southpaw hurler, failed to live up to the standard set by his teammate, the veteran Ted Lyons. Lyons pitched the American Leaguers to a 5-to-3 victory in the series opener Tuesday, but Lee was routed in the fifth yesterday after giving up eight hits. Pete Appleton completed the game for the Sox, yielding three runs in the sixth. Sox Coach (Mule) Haas was ejected from the game in the seventh inning after he protested a decision by Umpire George Magerkurth.

It is the story—as those of you who know your baseball already have guessed—of those two Cincinnati Reds, Bucky Walters and

Jimmy was manager of the Philadelphia Phillies then, and Bucky was a third baseman. Not a very good one, either, being just a fair fielder and no great shakes as a hitter. They were working on their second drumstick these two when Wilson suggested to Walters that he try his hand at pitching. “You're scarcely good enough at third to stay with this team,” Wilson said. “And you don’t make any dough. Why there are 50 pitchers making twice as much as you are, Bucky, and they're not very good pitchers, either.” Walters said no. Wilson argued. They were on their third helping) of chicken before Walters reluctantly agreed to turn pitcher, but only on the condititon that if he failed he would get another shot at third base. Most of you know the trials and tribulations of Walters as a pitcher. His first start was against the Reds and Larry MacPhail, who was running the Cincinnatis at that time, came down from the stands to demand of Wilson that he remove Walters before he killed a batch of Cincinnati players. In the middle of the 1938 season he was traded to the Reds and was
ready to take his place as a great
