And when they went out 10 play.
They stung the boys with ease.
An over-confidenced youngsters
team,
They called the Winemen ace,
We're our first victims,
In the Jackets singer case.
A hawk flew by one sunny day,
He flew a little too low,
He tried TO rise real quick,
But was Just little too slow.
Some jackets got upon his back,
And some got in his wings;
They stung that hawk to death,
And kept him for feast.
A ram was eating across the hill.
He heard the hawk cry out.
The ram came dashing over TO see,
What it was all about
Aren't you ashamed. you humble
bees.
To pick on a bird like that,
Tackle me, I'm strong enough,
And see Just what you get.
The ram put up a terrible fight
But the jackets were just too strong;
Their needles were awful sharp,
And it didn't take very long.
One day the jackets went out to
find,
An all-star team to play;
The stars heard Of this crucial thing
And tried to run away.
We caught those stars one Monday
eve,
They begged for mercy.
But we had not hearts.
We stung those stars,
Till their lights went out
A team with. little experience,
Who hardly practiced at all,
Lush Head team, we honor you,
You played the hardest of all,
After singing these five teams,
We were still in search OF prey;
Ahoyl Up there in the clear blue
sky,
We spied an eagle flying by.

A i've star salute to Dom Guerrero of the Budget Market who turned in a splendid performance of winning high single last evening with a score of 161. That nan certainly had the onlookers gasping with awe with the nifty way he handled the ball. Correction: Last week through the medium of this pillar the conductor made an error ir reporting high single, it was Nat Luchnick of Everybody's Market who came through with a total of 142. Sorry, Natl. The big red well come carpet was out last night to greet the members of the J. E. Smith outfit who took the Waterbury Ma son Supply and Lumber Go. for two. A nice start. Henry Minicucci, keep it ur and I'll give you nice big red apple. Wow!

WALTERS, WELL RESTED, CAN COP PENNANT TODAY.
Derringer, Other Red Ace, Also Left to Help Clinch
 Flag Meyers a Hero

Cincinnati, September 27. = (UP) = Bucky Walters, -the sinker ball artist, who pitched the Cincinnati Reds into first plac by beating the St. Louis Cardinals May 26, was nominated today to repeat the trick and bring Cincinnati it's first Ma tional League pennant since Pat Moran's 1919 club.
 Playing his cards shrewdly, Dea- con Bill McKechnie crossed up everyone yesterday by keeping Walters on the bench for one more days rest before shooting him at the Cardinals. Even without Wal ters, the Reds broke even in yester- days doubleheader before 8 paid crowd of 34,194 and maintained their 3 1-2 game lead.
 Gambling on Gene Thompson in yesterdays opener, McKechnie car- ried off a 3-1 victory and thus gave Walters three days. of rest instead of two.
 Walters opponent today will be Fiddler Bill McGee, the Cards hot and cold righthander who has a record of II and 5. He has pitched twice against the Reds, winning, 40, on September 4 and losing, 7-5, on August 20.
 Walters will go after victory No. 28. He has won six straight and has beaten the Cardinals four out of five times.
 The Reds plot to win both games and clinch the pennant yesterday was spoiled by Rookie Morton Cooper, who many experts claim has the fastest ball in the National League. After Thompson, the Reds prize rookie, had pitched the Reds to a 3-1 triumph in the opener, Cooper held the Rninelanders in complete check in the nightcap to score his 11th victory with four hit, 60 shutout.
 One to Go
 To put the clincher on the pen- nant the Reds need only victory over the Cardinals today or tomor- row. But if the Cards should sweep the two remaining games, then Gin cinnati would have to win two out of three from Pittsburgh in the sea- sons finale providing St. Louis takes its three remaining games from the Cubs.
 By gaining an even break yester- day, the Reds just about did every thing but clinch the flag because they have Walters and Paul Derrin- ger, their two aces who have won 51 games between them this season, ready to mop up in the two final games.
 Ray Blades, Cards manager, led with his two foremost hurlers yes- terday, and Curt Davis, a 22-game winner, was knocked out of the box in the first game. Inasmuch as McKenchnie gambled with Lee Grissom, who won only one game since July 4, the Reds didn't waste a pitcher against Cooper's brilliant four-hit game.
 Most idolized of the Red heroes today was little Billy Myers, whose three-run homer won the first game yesterday. It was only three sea- sons back when the Cincinnati fans were riding Myers SO hard for his then cratic fielding that he ex- pressed desire to play elsewhere rather than stand the fans obuse.
 TOday'S Lineups:
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-09-27
Ruffmg May Have To Carry Mound Burden In Series

New York, Sept. 27- (UP) Red Ruffing, who will pitch the world series opener, will get his last prep today in Boston when he pitches in the Tanks, doubleheader against the Red Sox. Rufflng, with q vic- tories, hopes to become a 22-game winner for the first time in his 16- year major league career. With Lefty Gomez, in the hospital with a strain ed side muscle, Manager Mccarthy has pitching problem. He had planned to use Gomez as No. 2 pitcher behind Ruffing.
 Most of yesterdays baseball action was packed in the National league, where the Reds and Cards put on their throat-cutting doubleheader which moved Cincinnati closer to the pennant.
 The Giants and Dodgers also split two games, Carl Hubbell winning his 11th game, 9-5, and Luke Hamlin scoring his 18th victory in the seven inning nightcap, 3-2. The Dodgers blew a fve-run lead in the opener. Stainback's single, Nipples single and Todd's sacrifice fly supplied the Dodgers winning tally in the night cap.
 Walter Higbe broke the Phillies' six-game losing streak when he picthed the cellarites to a 5-3 win over the Bees.
 Tigers Take Two
 Hank Greenberg's 33rd homer with two men on base in the seventh inning of the second game enabled ahe Tigers to sweep a doubleheader from the Browns, 5-4 and 7-5 (call- ed seventh, darkness). A triple by Gehringer and Greenberg's single won the opener. By losing both games the Browns surpassed their own record for games lost in one season. The twin defeoa made their 109th loss.
 The Athletics slugged out 15-4 win over the Senators. With Wally Mos esgetting four hits, the As collected a total of 16 bingles off four Washington hurlerS.
 YESTERDAYS HE RO = Gene Thompson, Reds rookie who pitched his club within one jump of the Ma tional league pennant by defeating the Cards, 3-1.
