Superb Defense Saves Yunks
Tied in Knots by Derringer

What difference does it make
how you win," he asked, "as long as
you win-cleanly and fairly? The
Yankees are the greatest winning
combination baseball ever knew-or
ever will know again. Offense or de-
fense? What does it matter? Just
look at the record"
Uncle Ed, still standing four
square to all the winds that blow,
was entirely correct.
In the World Series opener, tall
Paul Derringer, the Red sniper from
Kentucky, stood them on their
heads. He tied the dreaded Yankee
offense into a series of lovers knots.
With the same amazing support
given Charley Ruff1ng, Derringer
easily could have won a brilliant
1-to-0 victory.
Under pressure, to beat the Yam
KEGS, you can't make any mistakes.
The Yankees certainly made none in
the opener.
There were indigo spots on just
three Red plays+and they were not
serious flaws. But they cost the
opening ball game. -

New Yorks Take Win

Highly Praised
BY BURTON HAWKINS,

NEW YORK, Oct. SIT may be
the Yankees are calloused by the
monotony of victory or that they
shield their emotions under veneer
Of sophistication, but they're not a
terrific topic around which to FASH
ion a dressing-room yarn. The New
York clubhouse. in fact, is exactly
tbs opposite of what news reels and
back-slappAlg photos have led you
to believe
There was an excuse for enthu-
siasm by the Yankees following yes
terdays 81 triumph over Cincin-
natl in the dramatic opener of the
World Series, but they didn't unleash
any displays of glee Politely and
calmly they answered or evaded the
questions of reporters, peeled off
their uniforms, showered, posed for
pictures, dressed and slipped from
the clubhouse.
The photographers, of course,
have to make living and the play
ers are tolerant, but only a frag-
ment of those pictures Of news reel
shots are spontaneous. The YAM
KEGS smile and cheer when requested
to put some life in it." They're &C
commodating even if not dripping
With color.
Catcher Bill Dickey sauntered over
to Pitcher Red Ruffing and draped
an arm around the weary hurler
at the suggestion of an enterpris-
ing photographer, but when the
shutter-snapper hesitated for mo-
ment the guy who produced the
games winning hit barked, "Aw,
click that thing. Lets don't stand
around here all day"
Keller Praises Derringer.
New York writer's were busy pump
ing the hand and thinking machin-
cry of Charley Keller, the former
University Of Maryland lad whose
tremendous triple paved the way for
the winning run, but none of his
mates crowded around for a hand
shake. Neither was the territory
around the lockers of Dickey and
Rufdng jammed with yelping YAM
KEGS. They all seemed to be TAX
ing the victory in something of a
silent stride.
"Derringer's a great pitcher" ,"
said Keller, honestly. There's no.
body exactly like him in our league.
His curve is sharper and faster than
Mel Harder's but he's not as fast as
Bob Feller. He gives you lot of
motion and that ball 'sneaks' up on
you. I guess I just made lucky

Over in the Reds dressing room
Manager Bill McKechnie had issued
an order that his players weren't to
chatter with reporters, but some of
them had forgotten the edict or
were ignoring it. AL Simmons, any
way, was willing to talk until Nc
Kechnie shot glance in his gen.
eral direction.
Il hated to see that guy lose"
mourned Simmons, pointing toward
the gigantic frame of Derringer.
Hes better than anything in the
American League and he has it
here" continued AL, smacking the
region of his heart.
Those Yankees are q great clue"
ventured Bill Terry, the Giants
manager, who absorbed the wisdom
of his words in past performances
against them. They really hustle" :"

Typical picture: The Yanks in
their dugout sitting complacently
back. taking things easy. The Reds
on their feet hollering at their
mates and heckling the Yanks, as
nervous as a jitterbug at Faust.
The hot dog man wouldn't even
guess how many franks" he and
his staff of 500 would sell. He said
he predicted an advance sale once
and the revenue guys came around
to collect on the guess, not on the
sales.
The bleacherites had a busy day
They screamed at the antics of AL
Schacht. Changed cowbells, fled a
firecracker fusillade, hooted, howled
and heckled. The box-seat holders
were quieter and seemed trif1e
bored.
The Reds weren't without friends,
even though the Yanks forgot to
treat ein like guests. Derringer
was given a grand burst of applause
when he went out to pitch the last
half of the ninth. The Yanks
greeted him a minute later.

NEW YORK, Oct. S (N.AN.A).-
just as the first World Series game
ended, a gray-haired man, on into
ms 7os' was standing alone, looking
INTO the sunset. His name was Ed
Barrow, president of the Yankees.
You pulled out. close one to-
day said to Ed. "Derringer
pitched great game. He deserved
at least a draw"
Mr.. Barrow fixed me with a cold
and glittering eye.
Il have been in baseball lust 46
years" he said. There is only one
idea in baseball. That is to win
Win by offense if you can. If YOU
can't, then win by defense. But win.
The Yankees win either way. They
don't care"
Uncle Ed Barrow's Yankee team
had just taken its twenty-fifth game
out of % World Series starts from
the National League. He was looking
back over baseball experience of
nearly five decades-nearly half q
century.

Reds Put Burden on Walters
After Mental, Mechanical
Lopses Trip Derringer

Kechnie, however, denied that he
would make change. On the con-
trary he defended Berger and said
that the blame fell on Infielder
Linus Frey for his poor relay to the
plate. Other available outfelders
on the Cincinnati club are the un-
tried Lee Gamble and the veteran
AL Simmons, who was purchased
from the Bees late in the season,
but who has seen little action.
Yankees S to l Odds.
The odds on the Yankees had
dropped prior to yesterdays game,
but when Derringer was beaten in
his dramatic duel with Ruf1ng the
Yankee stock scared again. AS they
moved into the second game today
the American Leaguers were S to
to become the only team in modern
history to win the world champion
ship for the fourth straight year.
Yesterdays game was a heart
breaker for Derringer. The big
right-hander, who won Is games for
the Reds in the pennant fight,
famed seven of the Yankees
he struck out Gordon, Dahlgren
and Ruf11ng in succession-and
probably pitched one of the great
est losing series games in history.
The first Yankee run could have
been avoided. according to the con-
census. With Gordon on first base
in the fifth inning and with one
down, Dahlgren doubled to left.
Berger, instead of conceding Dahl
gren a two-base hit and holding
Gordon at third, threw to second
and Gordon, without losing stride,
continued to the plate and scored
ahead of Frey's relay, which was
high.
Pitches to Dickey.
In the ninth, Derringer got an
other tough break. With one down,
Charley Keller, playing in his first
World Series, drove a long, high
ball toward right center. 1t could
have been caught with better team
work in the outfleld. AS it was, the
ball trickled off Ival Goodman's S
glove for a triple and the Reds were
in the hole.
Joe Di Maggie was purposely
passed. This was to be expected.
But Bill Dickey was pitched to.
This was not exactly to be expected.
BY loading the bases and pitching
to George Selkirk the Reds would
have had force play at every base.
Instead, Derringer was ordered to
pitch to Dickey, who promptly
lashed single to center to enable
the Yanks to draw first blood.
Had Dickey drilled into double
play-after all, he hadn't lifted a
ball out of the infield all day-it
probably would have been hailed as
smart tactical move. As it was
it was fair prey for the second
gueSsers. And so for the third
straight year the Yankees are ahead
of their National League enemy
and the second game figured to
make it dog-f1ght or f1asco.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.-The World
Series of 1899, like those between
the Yankees and Giants in 1887 and
the Yankees and Cubs in 1888, today
found the American League in tenn
porary command of the National
League forces and series interest
depending on the second game.
With the opener tucked away, the
Yankees today nominated Monte
Marcellus Pearson, the stylish right
handler, to face the Cincinnati Reds
in the second skirmish. Manager
Bill McKechnie. having played one
pitching ace and lost, was to counter
with Bucky Walters, the reformed
third baseman. who won q games
for the Reds during the National
League race.
The game was vitality important
to the Reds. If Walters is beaten,
along with Derringer, the bottom
will drop out of the series barring
a highly improbable reversal Of
form on the part of the Reds when
warfare is resumed Saturday in the
Rhineland. Cincinnati's biggest hope
rested in the pitching of Derringer
and Walters. If the Reds fail to
win with this pair, they don't figure
to prolong the series much less
win it.
Reds Chances Still Good.
The Reds, who lost Yesterdays
game, 2 to /, didn't bow without
impressing. Unlike the Giants and
Cubs, who furnished the opposition
in the last two series, the Reds were
a loose, aggressive gang of ballplay-
ers. They put up a gallant fight
and with fewer mental and mechan-
ical lapses the brilliant Derringer
might have won 10 decision over
the almost equally brilliant Red
Ruffing.
The Reds, at game time today,
weren't out of it. If Walters can
win, the series will shift to Cincinnati,
with the Rhinelanders standing the
best chance of any National League
team since 1886, when the Giants
forced the Yankees to six games be-
hind the brilliant pitching of Carl
Hubbell. But if Walters is beaten,
you can write your own ticket. Ball
clubs simply can't concede the YAM
KEGS two games in a seven-game set
and expect to win.
Neither team expected to make
shifts in line-ups, although there
was a lively rumor that McKechnie
would bench Left-Fielder Wally
Berger, whose throw to the wrong
base yesterday gave the Yankees
one of their runs and tied the score
at IL in the fifth inning. Nc
