His ambition Is to stop pitching and get back on third base. A conscientious, workmanlike fellow, he seems to feel that he has pitching fairly wen licked, and would like to return to the infield and master it. Worried About Game's Future.

With Jimmy Wilson's experiment with Walters having proved so successful, I am rather worried for the future of baseball as we know it today. I can see ambitious manager at training camps next year greeting each incoming third with something like this: "Get any idea of playing third base out of your head, buddy. Get out there and pitch. If Buck7 Walters could do it you can." This will eventually necessitate the elimination of third base from the game because there won't be anybody to play it. As I He here In my opium den, visualizing the game of tomorrow, I see that tfce players are going to have to run directly from second base to horre plate.

This will necessitate their running through the pitchers' mound, where the pitcher win be allowed to tag them if he can. because he will always be a former third baseman and still have the powers of that position. 9 P. M. KWK World's Liqsf Htrw Ckaexptatihia) ii ii OUIIII vs.

Two defeats in the comtntt series would mean a pennant for the while one set-bark would be costleven though It would give the Birds an outside chance to win the flag. Seven Triumphs In Row. Spirit, however, was high among the players.

They were aware that Cincinnati had won Its last seven games In a row, but, they asked, haven't the Cards won seven straight and eighteen of their past twenty-one starts? more, the Cards figure they have the Indian sign on the Reds. In their last nine meetings, the Red Birds have won five games, tied two and lost two. Even the prospect of facing Bucky Walters, the league's leading hurler. and Gene Thompson as probable pitchers tomorrow didn't phase them. Curt Davis and Morton Cooper were ready to mow down any opposition and there was a confident feeling that the Reds would be taken Into camp.

If you hang around those gents long enough, you're liable to hit the dally double, the weather ticket and the Irish Sweepstakes all in the same afternoon. You might even become what the boys say about me completely unconscious.

How to Win at Golf! Yes, the Cardinals must have been responsible for poor Mr. Hemphill's ill luck and my good fortune. For what other reason would a noisy tri-motor air liner come zooming overhead at a late stage in the match and make my foe miss a three-foot putt? Why would a big oak suddenly leap in front of Mr. Hemphill's drive at the thirty- fourth hole, Just when I am four down and need a break? Why would the woods at the right of the No. 35 move over and grab How ard's ball? Why would my only long putt of the day.

a 45-footer, hit a wasp and stumble into the cup on the thirty-fifth? Or why would the cup move over to the left for me on the thirty-sixth, when Mr. Hemphill's ball was trying to get in from feet away? Even then, though, the misery was only beginning for your cor respondent. On thtv four extra holes, until I closed my eyes at No 40 and caromed a twenty-footer into the cup for a birdie off Mr. Hemphill's caddy's right foot, my mouth was dry as a W. C.

T. basement. My caddy, Virgil Bern-sen, was saylr did I ever hear the one about the fellow in Schenectady who It wasn't a bit funny Nothing is, when you can't even swallow. Byron and Sam and Ralphie can go ahead and pound the golf ball. As for me, 111 stick to pounding a typewriter.

BY HENRY MrLEMORE. NEW YORK, Sept. 25. (U. If and when the time comes for the Cincinnati Keds to vote on how to divide the World Scries money, I trust that they will remember their obligation to Jimmy Wilson whose name is heard very seldom these days since he quit managing the Phils and began coaching the Reds.

Even if Jimmy was voted a double or a triple share, it still would not compensate for his contribution to the Reds' pennant chances. He Is the baseball artisan who fashioned the most important single part of the Reds' 1 a ond machine. It was he, who, back in 1934, took a then rather uninspired player off third base, Jimmy Wilton. stuck a baseball in his hand, and said, "Son, from now on you're a pitcher." And, he made the third-baseman pitch and pitch and pitch until he became a pitcher. An Amazing Young Man.

This baseball guinea pig who survived the experiment is now pitching for Cincinnati and his name is Bucky Walters. This amazing young man is the chief reason the Reds are three and one-half games in front of the pack and apparently headed for the pennant and the World Serlea with the Yankees. Ills Binker ball has won twenty-seven oi tne ninety-three games that the Reds have in the victory column, and his record would be even better than this had he not been called in so often for relief. Not since Dizzy Dean won thirty games for the Cards in 1934 has any pitcher had such a mark in the National League. And Walters' victories are the kind that count against the top teams.

It's amazing how little you hear of this shy former third baseman of the Philadelphia Phillies. Remember when Dean was winning all his games? Radio stations had 7r i IY W. VERNON TIKTJKN. There are far too many people going around with envy In their souls for the life of a Byron Nelson, Sam Snead or Ralph Guldahl. You are always hearing these completely disillusioned individuals saying Isn't It terrible to slave away in an office to make a living, and wouldn't it be nice to be able to spend these sunny afternoons out on a sporty golf course playing tournaments like Byron or Sam or Ralphie, and getting paid good American chips for it besides.

Well, it's high time somebody ex ploded that alluring myth, that horrible fallacy. Because if pressure golf is an enjoyable way to get the rent and grocery money, then so is breaking rock in a chain gang. This reporter knows now. He played in a relatively harmless match for the Triple A Club golf championship yesterday and suffered most of the horrors of the Inquisition. He won, although no body, including himself, has yet been able to figure out how.

The score was one up after forty holes, the thirty-six-hole thing having gone Into considerable overtime, for which even the Wages and Hours Commission offers no remuneration. Was it worth it? I wonder. The Ilay After. This fine morning I am in worse Miajie than Uncle Wolfgang, long a lumbago sufferer. My buck feels as though I might have been lifting trench mortars all week.

C. Pyle's bunion derbyists had nothing on me for sore feet, and my ticker is still pumping like an Oklahoma gusher. I am five pounds lighter than I was yesterday morning, and I was underweight then. There are nine new gray hairs in my scalp. But perhaps it's a bit selfish to complain that way.

My worthy but unfortunate opponent, Mr. how ard G. Hemphill, was 4 up when there were only four holes of the match to piny and when last re ported was trying to hide under the shallow water on the shower room If the whole business went floor,.
