Danaher. brought up from University of Kansas, was one of the main cogs in the Retina machine last ear. Srholl, from Okla, and Krienke, from University of Southern California, heralded as the pick of the import crop this ear.

Sept. 27. The Yankees, cruising into their fourth consecutive World Series with their I customary calloused front, may (tind that this time they will have no pitching advantage.

It was that first game that! Manager Bill McKechnie wanted.

When it as In the bag, thanks to i Myers' big blow and some stout hearted pitching by the freshman star, Gene Thompson, Bill relaxed and took a flyer on the nightcap. In the second inning of the opener, Mers, with Ernie Lorn bardi and Harry Craft on base, caught one of Curt Davis' fast ones on the nose and bounced it ov the left field wall. That was the ball game. It probably was a painful anti rlimax for the howling crowd of .14,194 who paid their way into Crosley Field expecting the Reds to mop up and close the race, when Bill nominated Lefty Lee Grissom to pitch the second game. The Cards knocked Grissom from the hill In the first inning, scored four runs off him and his immediate successor.

Red Barrett, and ruined the game right there. But It didn't bother Bill. He had saved his ace, Bucky Walters, for today, and he expects Bucky to administer the knockout. If the Cards had won the first tilt. McKechnie had Intended to threw his over worked star Into the second.

But, by gambling with Grtssom. he was able to give Walters a three day rest be fore sending him after hn 28tn victory of the season. This Is how the pennant race looks now: Won Lost 6, B.

The combination of Derringer and Walters is the best bet the National league has had In a decade better even than Ole Diz and Paul Dean of the Cardinals in 1934.

Derringer and Walters already have nailed 51 victories against 17 loses and have worked 57 complete games more than a third of entire campaign. Will McKechnie has given no hint as to which would start the first series struggle. Most fans lean to Walters, who In fact may be the most valuable player in the National league this year, but Derringer has the best curve in the circuit and the advantage of experience In the 1931 World Series with the Cardinals. While McKechnie Is choosing be tween two aces, Manager Joe Mc 1 Carthy of the Yanks must play jwith one ace and a handful of kings. Charley (Rufus the Red) Ruff ing, with 21 victories and seven defeats in his 15th season in the majors, will start the first game tthis year just as he did last October and in 1936.

But whether he Is as strong now as he was previously is open to question. He has worked In 28 games. 22 of them complete, and given 212 hits in 13 innings He has been iknocked out of the box in his last two starts but is hot with the money down.

McMillan opened the scoring In the first period after Isaac Newton slowly retreated under heavy pounding.

McMillan sparked a second ter attack that produced another touchdown by Hobson. Hobson's point after touchdown, his own field goal try that went wide to the fence and another punt that hopped out of bounds in goal, built the lead up to 13 0.
