You'd Have to See It Of Queen City Seethe

Is a Bedlam

to Believe It as Good People in Hysterical Hoopla

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer CINCINNATI, Oct. 9.—It all happened for the best. The National League had been victory starved for six years, and now the balance of power has been restored somewhat. The Tigers scarcely deserved to win. They were shot with mediocrities and were startled to find themselves

even in the series. The good people out here were be out here to realize how deadly seriously they take baseball and the Reds. This is a fine healthy thing in a community and merits its reward. We have seen wild Series celebrations in St. Lotus, Washington and Detroit but nothing to match the hysterical hoopla here.

Players Mob Derringer It started on the field when the Redleg players polted out of the dugout and literally mobbed Paul Derringer the instant he got the last Tiger out. It extended through the stands where the customers hugged one another ‘in. emotional madness. Women cried, tore their handkerchiefs and wrung their hands. Our telegraph operator passionately exhorted the Reds all during the game, jumping up and down when one of the Reds made a hit, groaning miserably when one of the Tigers did the same. In the seventh when the Reds got their two runs he simply went berserk and we aren't sure yet whether our epic was tapped out over the wires. Meantime, downtown Cincinnati became a bedlam. Coils of ticker tape spun down on the streets from office buildings. The main streets overflowed with people blowing horns and waving red pennants. Traffic was frozen solid

If Reds Had Lost—Ugh!

We never saw a more tumultuous demonstration or happier: people. It is almost impossible to describe the sheer joy they radiated. Looking at them you realized what a frightful blow it would have been to them if the Reds had lost. It would have taken something out of their lives| and the community itself for weeks. Call it small townish if you like but we maintain this capacity for emotion over such a relatively unimportant thing as a ball game is a healthy thing Moreover, the good people have a perfect right to feel proud of Bill McKechnie's team. You wouldn't call it a great team as measured by some standards set in the past, notably the Cardinals of 1934, but if anyvhody tries to tell you it isn't a game team, call an officer. There's no quit in the Reds. They came from behind three different times in the series to win.

"Reds Had Best Team

They won because they are a better team and had the better reserves. They had the pitching bulge and the defensive edge. They didn't have any big hitters but they got the most out of their little hits. Bucky Walters and Derringer made the celebrated Tiger sluggers look foolish. Along toward the close they had Greenberg and York feeling happy if they could get even singles —and these are the two fellows, along with McCosky, who had been murdering American League pitching all year. The Reds had scouted the Tigers well. You could tell that by the way Walters and Derringer pitched to the big hitters. Either they are better than American League pitchers or else they are smarter The Tigers went as far in the Series as it was possible to go. They carried the fight up to and through the final game. They just didn’t have the pitching or the ability to make double plays. They were weak through the vital center spot. vou must be strong from the plate through the infield on out to center field to be good. The Tigers weren't.

Newsom Saved Tigers

It was Newsom who Kept them] from being routed. The veteran Bo Bo was a magnificient figure throughout the Series. If he had gotten any help from the hitters vesterday he might have made good his audaciously gallant effort to win his third game with only one day’s rest. York was particularly horrible. When the chips are down this bird is just another humpty dumpty. He fanned seven times. ~ It was an interesting Series even {f it did have many moments of suffocating dullness. First it went seven games and that hadn't happened since 1934. ‘When the pitching was good it was brilliant. The games Walters, Derringer and Newsom turned in were uncommonly impressive. Nobody ever played third base better in any series than Bill Werber and Jimmy Ripple made a catch in the outfield that was unbelievable.

Reds Receive

$5100 Apiece

CINCINNATI, Oct. 9 (U. P.).— When the multiplication and division is completed, here is what will happen to the $1,221,817.84 receipts from the 1940 World Series. Each player on the championship Cincinnati Reds team will receive approximately $5100 for his work. The losers, the Detroit Tigers, will pocket about $3400 each. ‘The total players’ share (based on the first four games) was $373,830.56. The clubs’ 357.30. For the leagues’ another $332,357.30. And for Commisisoner K. M. Landis. there was $183,273.07.

Said Tiger Manager Del Baker to Cincy Manager Bill Mc¢Kechnie after the game yesterday: “I hated to lose it. But Bill, if ‘IT had to lose, I'm glad it was to you. You're okay in my book.”

YESTERDAY marked the third time that Bill McKechnie has beaten the American League this season. The first licking he gave the supposedly invincible = sluggers from the younger league came in March, down in Tampa, in the All-Star game between the two loops for the benefit of the Finnisih Relief Fund. McKechnie organized a National team, drilled it In his percentage baseball heli2is, and knocked off the sluggers, 2 to 1. Lo . He handed out licking No. 2 in the big all-star contest mn . St. Louis in July. His club was a 3

National Leaguers to a point where they went out and blanked the mighty. men of Harridge, 4 to 0.

Paul Derringer's highest basebail aim was to help piteh the Reds to a pennant for Bill McKechnie. Before the regular season was over Paul said of Bill: “He's the greatest guy in baseball. He deserves a winner, and damn if I don’t want to help get him one.”

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 9 (U, P)). -—The autumn Kentucky horseracing season opened at Keeneland track for a 10-day run yesterday and Calumet Farm's Whirlaway ran to victory on the most important event

of the inaugural card. Prepping for the Breeders’ Futurity to be run later in the meeting, Whirlaway led all the way in defeating C. C. Van Meter’s crack Blue Pair by a length while Valdina Farm's Valdina Groom finished third in the field of eight over the six-furlong route on a fast track.
