Long ufter the other players were in tho locker room, and tho groundkeepers had taken over tho field, Hunk Greenberg labored on. Deep In left field, und with only the youngster who wus hitting fly balls to him for company, Greenberg the business of going to his left, galloping to his right, running back to tho wall, und tearing for short flies.

He threw to all the buses, handled ground balls, and studied the drift of balls In the wind. Greenberg didn't have to work yesterduy. Of all tho men who started the series today he is tho blggesl star. His salary is tops in either lcugue. Ho in the American lcugue homo run king with 41, the louder in doubles with 60, top mini In butting in runs with 150 bonged across the plate, ,340 hitter, and far from being tho worst left fielder In the business, But Greenberg Is, perfectionist, No ono will over know how many hours ho practiced when he first went to Detroit us a first baseman.

Not a natural player, he had to get skill the hard way. When they moved him to left field last spring, and gave first base to Hudy York, Greenberg started tolling nil over again, Ho wus the 'first mini In tho park und the lust one to leave, "I'm going to learn to pluy tho outfield if it kills me," ho said. "I just don't want to be known as a big guy with big stick in my hand." Big Hank Is the follow the Reds' pitchers must stop if the National league is at last to win world series from tho American. He wus bouncing bulls oft tlie fence and in the bleachers In batting practice. I picked the Reds in six games but I'm not so sure after seeing Greenberg In that extra practice session.

If ho isn't satisfied with himself, und Intends to increase the tempo of his havoic, then heaven help the Derringers, Walters, and the rest, Seattle Captures Playoff Title LOS ANGELES, Oct. 2 (UP) The Seattle Ruiniers, winners of the Pacific Const league pennant, today took home the post-senson playoff trophy. Seattle whipped Los Angeles again lust night to win the Shuughnessy 1 ffs, four games to one. It wus the first time the playoffs have gone to the season leader since Portland did it in 103B. The Ruiniers sent the fans home early last night by beating Los Angeles, 8-5, in what was to have been the first game of a doubleheader.
