Sunday, goes the first Of six suits

Filchock's total of "a yards in 13

Late Pass Defended.
At the same time, Coach Ray
Flaherty came to Filchock's de-
fense against critics who censured
him for passing on third down late
in the game instead of attempting
field goal. The pass was inter-
cepted However, the percentage
was with Fllchock, Flaherty said, as
not only had the soggy ball rendered
futile four previous field goal at
tempts. but the Giant defense was
playing in, leaving open the end
zone. That the pass just failed was
due to faulty execution, not strategy,
Flaherty declared
1t was an entirely optional play,
the Redskins coach concluded, with
the result making the passer either
hero or a goat.
Coach Frank Dobson of Maryland,
one of the pros greatest supporters,
expressed the belief after seeing
Sundays game that the Giants never

Dobbie pointed out, "and on a dry

Dobson also took occasion to chide
public criticism of Jim Meade's punt

Don'tLe Reds Score
First Tally, Is Tip
To Mccarthy
Yunk Pilot Also Told
To Beware of Rivals
Other Odd Habits
BY JOHN FRYE,
eSocio tod prAsc Gnorfs VJrif .


CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.-Not tina!
they'll do Joe Mccarthy any good
but here are a few dos and donts
for earnest consideration if his
Yankees are to make a habit of the
championship business.
There is no treason in revealing
these items, for if they start to hap
pen again they will just happen and
there1l be little that the Yankees
can do about them.
l. Don't let the Reds score in the
first inning. They won their National
League pennant that way. The Reds
scored at the start in As games this
year, and of these they won 81.
You may have noticed, if you read
the National League news, that Bill
Werber, the Reds third baseman
led the league in runs scored with
113. He's the lead-of man and
there's a connection. The fellow
knows how to get on base, whether
it takes a walk or hit, and he can
call the corners better than the
umpire. And when he's on first, he S
in scoring position. Fast.
Reds Mean in Overtime.
2. Don't let the game 60 into extra
innings. The Reds played II over
time games this year, anywhere from
10 to 13 innings, and won l3 of
them. Red pitchers get mad when
they have to work after the whistle
and the opposition is lucky if it sees
the ball.
3. Don't think you have the game
on a two or three run lead in the
ninth. There are seven managers
in the National League who can
tell you that the Reds 1899 drive
was studded with ar-Spangled fin
ishes, frequently capped by heart
cracking homer.
4. Your pitching paragons prob
ably never do such things anyway,
but don't let them walk anybody to
get at anybody. A lot of the Reds
are only $50 hitters, but the time
you get them may be the time they're
due. Even Lee Grissom hit a triple
in Pittsburgh the other day.
Hits Don't Worry Derringer.
S. Don't get worked up just be-
cause you get lot of hits off Paul
Derringer. The Cardinals averaged
four and half hits to a run in that
last Cardinal game and two of their
three scores were gifts. Paul gave
321 hits all year, but his earned run
average was under 35. You may
get the range on Paul, but he's liable
to have your number, and 1t takes
more than batting average to win
a ball game.
6. Don't run bases as If you were
playing the bushwicks. You may
not know it, but couple of the
boys, Ernie lombard and Ival Good
man, have 30 .30's with telescope
sights up their sleeves. Joe Med
wick can tell you it's downright
humiliating to be thrown out at
third by 2 feet from deep center.
Those are about all the don'ts and
here's the only do-play ball.

toughest, toughest jockey in the

more subdued Don Meade is riding
winners again-with the philosophic
conviction his enforced lay-off of
two and a half years was the best
thing that ever happened to him.

where he has booted home a dozen
winners in six days. II was throw

I wasn't saving anything When

He sighed and shook his head.
Calls Suspension Timely.
Apparently at the height of his
career, with victory in virtually
every major stake race behind him,
Meade was ruled off the turf for
betting on horses other than those
he rode.
1T happened just at the right
time" he said. IF it had been any
earlier 1 would have been too young
to profit by it. With a wife to take
care of and everything, it made me
settle down and look ahead"
Meade said his reinstatement last
summer was like getting a reprieve
from a death sentence
1T was just like starting life all
over again" he grinned
Don believes he is a better rider
than when he was ruled off.
The layoff gave my nerves a
chance to rest for the first time in
six years" he said.
Loses None of His Spirit.
Meade certainly has lost none of
the fire that took him to the top.
Perhaps he isn't as cocky as when
he rode Col. E. r Bradlcy's Brokers
Tip to victory in that Rowdy 1888
Kentucky Derby. but he is just as
confident as ever. In his first meet
ing since the suspension he rode Is

Conceding that the average jock

believes he will be in the saddle for
another decade.

my nerve Meade normally weighs
