Baseball Glory Will Engulf Kentucky Paul Derring- CT If He Can Beat Grove and As Eaters
By GEORGE KIRKSEY limited Press Staff COrresDOndentl

(OmteU 1rcSS DtAu NOrHeopohuCu1t
 St Louis, Oct 1-UP)-The bor- der line between victory and defeat in the world series is usually thinly etched by inconsequential events before the first ball is thrown.
 This world series, the 28th, and between the Philadelphia Athletics and St Louis Cardinals, promises to hinge on the right arm of Paul Derringer, rookie, slated to pitch the opening game for the National league champions.
 Gabby Street virtually is gamb- ling the whole series on this big raw-boned Kentucky lad who wasn't sure of a regular job with the Cardinals until a month or so after the season opened. If Der ringer fails, the Cards chances will droop like the last rose of summer.
 Unexpected
 It has been 22 years since a rookie pitched the opening game of a world series and only once before has f1rst-year man drawn the all-important first day assign ment. Babe Adams, rookie of 1909, pitched the first game for the Pittsburg Pirates that year and defeated Detroit Al. He later won two more games and the series for the Pirates.
 Cardinal supporters optimistical- ly hope that Derringer will follow in Adams footsteps, but surely no rookie ever faced more difficult assignment in drawing as his op- ponent Bob Grove, Athletics ace who won 31 games and lost only 4 during the American league sea- son.
 Although the Cards beat Grove one game last year they made only five runs off him in 19 innings and as far as records are concerned he's better pitcher this year than he was in 1880.
 Cool Under Fire
 Tough spots, however, are not new to Derringer. Even while he was struggling for a regular berth with the Cards, Gabby Street showed him in against Dazzy Vance, Brooklyn ace. in his first big assignment during a crucial game of the opening eastern inva- sion. Did Derringer mind? He liked the task so well he shut out the Robins and triumphed, 10.
 Derringer has blossomed into great pitcher almost overnight. Just five years ago he was pitching for a semi-pro team in the West Virginia coal region. A St Louis scout signed him and he reported for a tryout in the spring training season of 1927. His forte was speed and when he was called on to show his stuff he made up his mind to show his best fast ball. He wound up, raised his left leg high in tn eair and put all his brute strength into his windup.
 Tough Luck
 But something happened and his pitch fioated lazily up to the plate. Over-anxious, he had caught the spike on his left shoe in the web- ping of his glove and utterly ruined his momentous preparations for a dazzling exhibition. A few days later, Derringer had a railroad ticket for one of the many Cardi- nal farms. But he learned about pitching and came back.

According to advices from the Ketchell camp, stephen has been more than anxious to hook up with Leo, anywhere, anytime, any place since the local boy took decision from him in Boston some months ago. Therefore. the lad lost no time in agreeing to take on Leo again in his own back yard. Confidence is a great thing in any sport, particularly boxing, and Ketchell has oodles of it, despite his Boston setback.
 Test For Willie
 Leo Mitchell of New York is ex- pected to give Willie Bush a thor ouEh test, which will have a great deal to do with deciding the black boys ring future around these parts. Right now he is in good standing since his win over Bob Olin this past summer in New Ha- ven, and if he continues to show any class at all, he will be in line for plenty of work throughout Con- necticut.
 Crowd PIeasers
 However, it's the first three bouts that we look to for the real action of the evening. Right off the grid dle, Joe Arnold, the promising Brooklyn middleweight, tangles with K. o. Jim Sweeney. the Tor rington tough man. They are in for four rounds, and it looks like lots of leather. Ernie Sims and Connie Mello should put on the real scrap on the card as both boys have plenty of class, with Sims the heavier puncher of the two. and Mello the edge on ring work. Six rounds is the limit. By the time Joe vignali of Town Plot and Sal Carter of Middletown fin- ish throwing punches, the custom CTS should be we'll satisfied as these boys can mix 1t with a vengeance. Vignali has no class but owns the greatest thing of ringdom-knock- out punch and when he learns how to use it, you will see a great fighter. All is in readiness for the evening, the shoy goes on at 8:30 and tickets are going fast at $1 and S2
