CINCINKATI, Oct. 8—They are saying Detroit is the lamest ex-
cuse for a ball club which has
represented the American League in the World Series in a generation. Perhaps that's true, but why try to take anything from the Reds? Very definitely they've got two things the Tigers haven't:
(a) Pitching, (b) defensive play. When this series started it was apparent even, to a person who had never heard of Col. Abner Tripleplay, the old Orioles or Babe Ruth, that it was to be a standout between pitching and punching. The Tigers had the punch. They were the best hitting club in their league. Thus it became a question of whether the Cincinnati pitching, best in their league, could stop the Detroit hitting.
2100 Bucks on
{The Line Today
Players Will Do a Lot for Dough Like That
By HENRY M'LEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent
CINCINNATI, O. Oct. 8—It has boiled down to a crap game. The World Series between the Reds and the Tigers, I mean.
They go for the pay-off game today, and $2100 extra dollars is on the line for each player on the team that throws seven or eleven. This seventh and deciding game won't be played like the other six. This one will be all or nothing. Strategy will be cast to the winds. Smart baseball will run for Sweeney and his kids. Spikes will be shining in the sun, sharp edges as high as the tempers. There'll be nothing saved. If one pitcher can’t win, two will be used. And if two, three, four, five or six are needed they'll be in there throwing.
A Fur Coat, Maybe
This | is the day when the ballplayers go for 2100 extra dollar bills apiece. A ballplayer will do a lot for that sort of dough. That's rent, that's a fur coat for mama, that’s a trip to St. Pete for the old folks. that's a pair of mules for the farm. To get it a baseball player will do things he never would do for the dear old team, the dear old manager, or the dear old city, league, or Landis. Sports is at its best when the stakes are high, and there is no tomorrow, If you liké drama, if you like hand to hand combat between men, if you like the excitement of 30,000 persons, then there is but one place in the U. S. to be today, and that is at Crosley Field, Cincinnati. Like bankroll guys around a crap table, the managers of the two teams will call on “hot throwers” to handle the baseball dice. Bill McKechie, boss of the Reds, has declared with Paul Derringer, the ice-cold chunker from the hills of Kentucky. “Paul | will throw for us.” MecKechnie said. “He's a clutch guy, and this is the clutch, The top clutch.”
| Big Paul is Set
Derringer said he was ready. “If a guy's a pitcher, this is the sort of spot for him to prove it” the big Kentuckian said. “If I'm right they'll be lucky to get a loud foul. If I'm wrong—well, Who has the answer to that?” Del Baker, the brain of the Detroits, will shoot with -either Bucky Newsom or Tommy Bridges. Newsom has had only one day of rest since winning a three-hitter. but that Newsom man is a truck-horse. His arm is half rubber, and he loves the spotlight that goes with a win-or-lose ball game. Bridges-—well, Tommy the Tennessean, is getting old. There was a time when he could work in the morning, work at noon, and do a little bit of chunking in the afternoon. But now he needs a week of rest. He hasn’t had it. It was only last Friday that he beat the Reds with that crack-crack curve of his. But age hasn’t hurt one of Tommy’s assets—his heart. It is just as big as it ever was. He still is a bulldog on the mound, a fellow who sinks his teeth into a game and refuses to| let go until beaten off. If Newsom starts, Bridges will be in the bullpen, keeping warm and ready. If Bridges starts—and it is my guess that he will—Newsom will stand by in the bullpen by the stands. No matter who starts, it is going to be a whale of a ball game.
THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
Double Plays Keep Red: in Running
The better Cincinnati pitching has done that. Bucky Walters, for example, must wonder what kind of league the American is. You could pardon the normally modest, reticent young man if he said to himself, “I'd win 40 games in that league.” Considering the way he has been going this would be an understatement: He would win 50 and bank the last. And yet, even with the pitching edge riding with the Reds, it could all be very different. We question if anyone realized how actually pathetic the Tigers are around the vital second base section, how difficult it is for Bartell and Gehringer to make any but the most simple plays. Just casually to watch them picking up the ball and throwing it they look all right. They get everything that is hit at them, but it must be hit at them. If

They simply aren't able to make the plays any more. They make you feel sorry for them, especially when you look back and remember thiem at their dazzling best. One of the reasons the Reds have refused to stay down is that they can make the double play. they can make the double plays.

to see anything so bush-like in a World Series and it makes you wonder how the Tigers ever won the pennant. Not that it would have made any great difference yesterday even if the Tigers had had Tinker, Evers and Chance out there for them. Walters was the boss man. We thought he pitched an even more brililant game than the other oné¢ he won, the one in which he gave up only three hits. For one thing, his control was better, his stuff sharper. ‘Whether he needed help or not, he got .it. - The infield backed him up splendidly.

ning the Tigers must have to win. (The Tigers didn't come close to a double play all day.) Werber started the third double play by going' over to the foul line at third base for York's bounder and innovating a second-to-first black-out, assisted in some measure, to be sure, by the flashy elephantine speed of the Tiger runners. But aside from the infield help he got, Walters dominated the game. He has convinced the fans he's a really great pitcher, and what is vastly more important he has convinced the Tigers. Especially Hank Greenberg who did not get a loud foul off him yesterday. No pitcher ever made the home run king of the American League look more foolish. Walters has something besides what the boys technically call stuff; he has pitching craftiness and Plenty of ticker.
