who will pitch for the Reds today,
was the first I found Everyone is
interested in what inning he will
get knocked out so I aSkd him
He didn't even change his express
sion, but went right on pitching
to his catcher. If he knows, he is
keeping it to himself.
Junior Thompson, the Re S
young pitcher who will start the
third game, gave me my first direct
answer. On asking him if he did
MT think he was too inexperienced
and nervous to do much good
against the Yankees, he looked me
straight in the eye and said:
What business of yours is that,
buddy"
Everywhere I went it was the
same thing, with Gomez, Lombardi,
DiMaggio, Frey, refusing to answer
my straightforward and sensible
questions. Finally I decided upon
actions, rather than words. Hear
ing that Red Ruffing had a sore
pitching arm, sneaked up behind
him and hit him on it. He jumped
about four feet into the air, prov
ing to my satisfaction he has a
sore arm. OF course, my jaw is too,
now, but anything to get those

NEW YORK, Oct. 4. CUP)-If
little learning is dangerous thing,
then I'm likely to be picked up as
Public Enemy No. l before another
sun sets.
I'm so crammed full of little
learning about the Yankees and
the Reds, who start the World
Series today, that I am as dam
gerous as if I were walking the
streets with cooked pistols.
1t isn't my fault, however, that
I know so little about the Yankees
and Reds. 1 spent the better part
Cor the worst part, whichever way
you want to look at it, of yesterday
with the members of the two teams
and literally bombarded them with
questions. 1 wanted the real low
down the opinions of the players
themselves, for you readers, and
not just bunch of stale old sta
tistics which everybody knows.
But do you think I got any in
formation? Not one whit. might
just as well have had dozen or
so totem poles in for tea and tried
to quiz them. AS starter, I went
into Joe McCarthy's office, helped
myself to one of the fat cigars on
his desk to show that I came as
friend, and then asked:
Joe, are you really a master
mind as so many people say you
are, or are the Yankees so good
you could go with Byrd to the Arc
tic and they'd still win?"
Mccarthy never really gave me
a definite answer, and when I
pulled out an intelligence test with
which to test him he walked out
of the room.
Bill McKechnie, manager of the
Reds, was just as unsatisfactory.
I had heard that he was a cold,
emotionlesS, gimlet eyed gambler
who would risk anything for a VIC
tory, and wanted to know if that
was right. I burst into his office,
shook a coin in my hand, and
said:
Call this for a dollar. Heads or
tails. If you're gambler, prove
it to me-"
Il told you to keep that door
locked" McKechnie said to his as
sistant as he rushed into another
room and banged the door.
Maybe he's gambler, maybe he
isn't. I've no way of telling.

Vdileyites Choose

Imperial Valleys baseball experts
offered a sentimental vote for the
Cincinnati Reds in the 1899 world
series Wednesday but II out of 20
persons interviewed picked the New
York Yankees to win in seven
games, or less.
Eight of the experts picked Gin
cinati, but a majority of the Ma
tional League hackers qualified
their selections with;
Cd Cincinnati can win if they
take the first game.
% Cincinnati will win if Der
ringer and Walters are hot.
80 In a short series the better
team doesn't always win. So it
looks like Cincy Cmaybe).
(D If Ruffing and Gomez aren't
in top shape the Yanks are out,
Cincy is in.
(5) The Yankees will probably
be over confident.
Co Just a hunch.
There are a few of the Cincin-
natl hackers. however, who truth
fully believed the Reds would set
back the powerful New York YAM
KEGS, who are seeking their fourth
straight National championship.
Those experts pointed out that
the Reds are on top of their game
because they beat out the Cardin-
ais in the stretch run, the first
time an August leader has won the
pennant since 1888 in the National
league.
The Yankees, on the other hand,
are relaxed. and may not be able
to match the fight and speed of
the Cincy ball club.
