THE Reds already have convinced
base ball folk that they have
plenty Of batting power this
year. The whole camp has been go
ing around with its chest out since the
Redlegs shellacked the New York
Giants in their first exhibition game.
The hitting of Tony Piet, Adam Co
morosky, Jim Bottonley and Ernie
(SchnozZle) lombard, the Camera
like catcher, Is the happiest omen so
far.
OFarrell planned originally to
double in brass and catch at least
100 games in his seventeenth regular
major league campaign, but Lom-
bardi has altered the managers mind.
IF lombard continues to plaster
that lvelier ball I won't be able to
keep him out Of there" says Bob.
O'Farrell and Lombardi will handle
pitching staff that shapes up as
more colorful and curious than reli-
able. With more incentive, the hurl-
ers may surprise the critics, as well
as the opposition, but there are too
many caSt-offs to warrant much
optimism.
Vance still is a great personality,
but Daz Is Al and his right arm Is
distinctly a gamble. Red-headed
Larry Benton is 36, but his 1888 sea-
son, with 10 wins and II losses was
the best he has had since he was
with the Giants. Lanky Paul Der
ringer lost u games last year. but
OFarrell believes he will regain the
will to win" 81 johnson, poten-
TALLY the ace of the starting staff
was a stubborn holdout.
THIS leaves OFarrell with the task
of picking five more mounds
men from a collection includ-
ing Don Brennan, Yankee cast-off;
Sylvester Johnson, once the star Car
dinal relief pitcher; Jim Lindsey and
Fred Blake, former major leasuers
recalled from Columbus; Walter
Hilcher, from Minneapolis, Keith
Frazier, from Toronto; Benny Frey
and Ray Kolp, from Rock Island,
who also can hit and play first base
in a pinch.
The infield, reading from right to
left, will consist of Bottomley, Piet.
Mark Koenig and Sparky Adams,
well balanced quartet. Les Mallon,
ex-Phillie, is understanding Adams
at third. Gordon Slade, from the
Cardinals Is Koenig's alternate.
Two former Southern foot ball stars,
Beattie Feathers of Tennessee, one
of the great ball carriers of 1888, and
Stanley Bach of Kentucky, are
among the outfeld prospects, but
both will get minor league seasoning
before they try to crack the varsity
lineup. The regular picket line will
consist Of Chick Hafey, Comorosky
and either Harry Rice or Johnny
Moore, obtained from the Cubs;
Johnny Gill, formerly with the Sena-
tors and this time up from Chatta-
nooga, Is bidding for the extra job,

WHITE GETS RANK
WITH OTHER STARS
Catch OFF Martin Is Held
Deciding Series Factor
by Billy Evans.
BY BILLY EVANS,

Former Umpire and Big League Manager.
DETROIT, October 8.-The Detroit
Tigers won the fifth game and de-
cided edge in the world series through
the judgment of Manager Mickey
Cochrane in sending Bridges to the
hill and the brilliant pitching Of
Tommy Bridges.
However, to gain this most impor-
tant victory, the Tigers needed one
of the greatest catches ever made in
all world series history-that by 10
10 White off Martin in the eighth.
In making so broad a statement, I
wildly recall Harry Hooper's great
catch of Larry Doyle in the 1912
world series that prevented a New
York Giant victory and one-handed
stab that Babe Ruth made in this
same Sportsman's Park to help the
Yankees win over the Cardinals in
1918, which ended the game that
made it four straight.
believe Whites was the play that
will put the Cardinals out of the
world series.
White is the young man who
started the season as a rookie, trying
to win a job in a rather uncertain De-
troit outfield. He told Cochrane that
If he ever got a real chance, he would
make good, whereupon Mickey told
him that the job of playing center
field was his for two weeks and it
was up to him to deliver. White
made good.

The Tigers looked the better club

was the best individual fielding bit Of
the series.

Davis single. and one out. Up came
Pepper Martin, who has been alter
nately hero and a goat for the
Cards. This evidently was meant to
be one of his starring days. for he
already had a single and double to
his credit.
Connecting solidly Martin sent a
screaming drive to left center that
easily could have tied the score. Rae
ing across the terrain with a speed
few realized he possessed, White
caught up with the soaring pellet just
as it was about to bound against the

Bridges Earned Verdict.

TOMdY didn't chuck one Of the
near no-hit exhibitions follow
erS Of the Senators vividly can
recall, but he hurled a whale of a ball
game and richly earned his verdict
over the far more widely publicized
Jerome Herman Dean.
Flashing perfect control Of a fast
ball that really merited the term, and
a hook that broke sharply, Bridges
yielded only five hits, never more than
one to an inning, until the ninth when
he displayed fortitude as well as
f1nesse in emerging unscathed from
an ominous situation.
To paint the picture 1t should be
recounted that one Of those five scat
tered safeties was a circuit clout atop
the right-f1eld stand in the seventh by
Bill Delaney, whom Bridges previ-
ously had famed twice.
VXTHEN the fag end Of the final
wv. frame arrived, with the Ben
gals leading, 3 to l. and
Frisch on third and Collins on first
by virtue Of safeties, that same De-
1ancey again hove on the scene.
What to do? Was Bridges slipping?
Another homer by Delaney would
cost the game. Cochrane called a
council of war and the verdict was
to let Tommy carry on, instead of
summoning Southpaw Elon Hogsett
from the bull pen to face the equally
left-handed Delaney.
Well. Bridges famed him on three
deliveries. all called strikes, and when
Pinch-hitter Orsatti bounded into a

Frisch was expected to lead with his
best bet, Paul Dean, although the
younger of the famous flinging family
has had only two days of surcease
from labor since he registered an i'm
preSsive 4-to-l decision against the
Tigers at st. Louis Friday.
On that occasion it was Bridges
who finished on the short end, toppled
of the tee before a single Card had
been retired in the fifth round with
eight safeties charged against him.
Yesterday it was the same Bengal
boxman, but functioning in far more
effective form, who earned a clean
cut verdict over the redoubtable Dizzy
Dean in what was by all odds the best
game of ball produced up to this
point to give Cochrane's crew a 3-to-2
game advantage in the set.
Before that Sabbath throng in st.

duced there, Bridges performed as he

on the breaks of the game.
World series history has been
filed with costly incidents such as the
muff by Fred Snodgrass that cost the
Giants a triumph in 1912, or the epi-
sode of Hank Gowdy's tripping over
his mask in the last inning of the 1924
battle, paving the way for the Senators

tional League champions contracted
the same sort of fielding filters that
the Tigers shook off after their first

suffering a reaction from the strain OF
their sensational last month drive tc

Looking back now, the Cards can
point to the fact that but for mis-
judged fly ball that dropped for a
scratch double in center and that mix
up that allowed pop fly to drop un-

would have beaten Schoolboy Rowe in
the second game and had three straight

CARD MOUND STAR
OFTEN IN TROUBLE
CroWder Is Hoping to Face
q
st. Louis Again-LikeS :,
1t in Detroit.
BY JOHN B. KELLER,
Stah Correspondent Of The Star

~ ETROIT, Mich, October g.
Back in Detroit, where last
y week even their most ardent
rooters were not so ready to
bet they would return, the Tigers
were resuming their world series bat
ting this afternoon with better than
an even chance to knock of the
Cardinals for the classic base ball
championship. .i
And before the battling was to be-
gin the Tigers and their true friends
we're wondering where all this stun
about "the great Dean" originated.
They took the Dizzy one yesterday in
st. Louis like nobody's business, BURST
ing the bubble of his reputation with
seven solid socks.
He was great when he had it," the
Tigers were saying of Dizzy. But he
won't be able to show whether he has
it again in the remainder Of this
series"
Perhaps, though. these tickled Ti-
gers are a trifie harsh in their dis
paragement of the rangy right-hander
who almost single-handed hurled the
Cardinals to q National League
championship. Dizzy as he per-
formed yesterday looked q greatly
oVerworked pitcher. y
Evening star., 1934-10-08
Dean Appeared Tired.

THERE were times when it seemed
painful to him to raise his arm
for wind-up. This must have
been the trouble with his control.
While he walked only two batters and
hit one during the eight innings he
was on the peak, Dizzy went to q
three-and-two count repeatedly.
He looked good pitcher pitched
out. He was great when he had it,"
as the Tigers were saying today. But
Duzzy didn't have it in his second
start Of the series.
The Tigers we're expected to pitch
Schoolboy Rowe in this afternoons
game here, but Rowe will have to go
some to match the pitching perform
ance put on by the frsil Tommy
Bridges in the Sunday set-to in st.
Louis,
