THURSDAY.

And, the funny part of it was, almost everyone in the baseball world believed it, for "Larruping Lou" had filled a spot it seems unreasonable to exact of anyone else. Sitting on the bench, watching been a part of the homenm com- il tVrV every move cenng made during two bination with Ruth, hobbled off the i long seasons, was "Babe" Dahlgren owner of the softest job in baseball rf' Jst.

Dahlgren Makes Good Then, last May, Gehrig was stricken his baseball days ended bench as his substitute ambled around the bases. There was a wild gleam in Gehrig's eyes.

Many times he and Ruth had exchanged Just such homerun greetings at the plate. Now it was Gehrig's sub doing the same things the other "Babe" had done. And Gebrig. cheerful, despite his misfortune, knew then that what he had told ManagerMcCarthy on that dooming May ray Joe. I mout.

But, much as you think so, yoall never miss me. The Babe will show you that he can do a good jom, too." by a disease which, it was believed, would make, a cripple out of this once stalwart, iron-lunged, rubber-legged first baseman. Into the breach stepped Dahlgren, the man with the softest job in baseball. Lacking Gehrig's punch at the plate without the finesse with GOODMAN STEALS! The Reds lone run came in the fourth when Ival Goodman stole second (above) and then scored on McCormick's single. At that time it appeared that the one run might be all that Red Pitcher Paul Derringer would need to turn back the Yanks.

Monte is only at his best when his fever is higher than a flagpole sitter, his chest congested like Broadway traffic, and Joe McCarthy, took up the Job.

Maxie Has Ambers. and Featherweight Cham The phone rings, and it is Dr. Marshall Glenn calling from Morgantown, W. Va. The Doctor would talk a little football, at the usual long distance rates, he said, and that would be logical enough, for he is the coach of the West Virginia Mountaineers, who come to the Stadium Saturday to see what could be done about the Pitt Panthers.

The boys from the mountains have been trying to do something about the Golden Jerseys for a long time now, without much success. If memory serves its purpose, it is about 11 years as the crow flies since the series has witnessed a West Virginia victory. The Doctor said he could be quoted as promising that his lads would be in there pitching for the full 60 minutes, but he added' an amendment which may be more significant than it sounds at first. "We're not going to ruin our season as we did last year, and as many a former West Virginia team has done," he declared in a firm voice. Well, that's a basis for a sound beginning, and Dr.

Glenn knew what he was talking about. The Moun- taineers have built too many campaigns on their luck, or lack of it, against the Panthers. Time and again, they have lulled themselves into believing that "Der Tag" had arrived and surely this was the year to give the tail of the Oakland kitty a nasty twist. And just as often or with few exceptions they have reached for the wrong end of the beast and retired badly scratched. Then, instead of setting the entire incident down as profit and loss and going after the rest of the schedule, the disheartened West Virginians have retired to their caves along the Monongahela and started plotting what they would do the next year, the meanwhile being shoved around right heartily by a group labeled "Opponents Other Than Pitt," about whom they had clean forgot.

So when Dr. Glenn says this psychology has been tailored to fit a new state of mind, he may be stewing up an even better mental attitude toward the game than the desperation of past seasons. Pitt Passes Spoil Glenn Dinner "We're not going to play as though we have to win a game that we know we can't," the Doctor explained cryptically, but when you bore deep enough in the direction of the point, you discover he is right. Because they feel that way, the Mountaineers may prove tough to whip. Dr.

Glenn, of course, wanted to know what had happened at Seattle last Saturday. Not that he didn't have a fair idea. "I hurried to a radio from our game with Wesleyan and you can tell the public that I didn't enjoy my dinner that night. Down here, we've grown accustomed to being run into the ground by those Panther backs, but now I suppose we must get used to looking up and seeing them throw the football over our heads." The Doctor's sigh carried plainly over the wire at the usual rates. So far, the conversation didn't seem to be making much progress.

The timing was bad and there were too manv Ions, incomplete passes. Dr. Glenn was reminded pion Joey Archibald. no fights planned. Deadlocked Again NEW YORK Gordon rjounaea out, Werber to McCormick.

that the situation couldn't be hopeless, and that there was a suspicion on this end of the wire that there was some- thing stewing in Morgantown that might turn out to be a hot dish for the Panthers to swallow. There was, in fact, entirely too much silence to the South. Ordinarily, at this time of the year, the mad Mountaineers were on the house-tops sounding their trumpets and tossing threats in every direction. '39 Mountaineers Are Better Team Dr Glenn said he didn't know whether the West Virginians were silent because they suspected something, or merely for the reason that they were numb from past punches leveled by Pitt, but "We are better, I believe, than we were last year when we lost to Pitt by 19 points" That was promising a battle. The Panthers are somewhat below their '38 strength, exactly how much it i is too early to determine.
