The Yankees, with three World

the series loose, timber and poised.
The Reds, headed for a new expert

by their race with the Cardinals

real breathing spell. This, however,
could react to their advantage. When

the Reds have been hot for weeks.
The series should bring an inter-
esting clash of spirits-the calm,
implacable Yankees, confident of
their own power, moving like cham
pions against every foe, meeting the
surging Reds, eager for the fame
and money the Yankees have won.
Both teams, of course, are superbly

SpoRTLIGHT
Reds No Soft Touch
For Fuvored Yunks
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, Oct. 2 (N.AN.A0.-
The dope makes the Yankees the
favorites in the World Series, but it
also makes the Reds the most for
midable crew the Yanks have op-
posed in a series since 1886, when
the Giants forced them to six games.
The Reds have pitching and speed
and power. In some positions they
compare favorably with the Yankees.
And the way they came down the
stretch to win indicates that they
will not curl up in the series but,
win or lose, will hustle the Yankees
around.
Here's a quick glance at the con-
tending teams, man for man:
Frank Mccormick has an edge on
Babe Dahlgren at first base. Nc
Cormick is better hitter than
Dahlgren and deft fielder, too.
Maybe not quite as good as Dahl
gren, but certainly in his class.
Joe Gordon bulges over Lonnie
Frey at second. Frey has just
turned in his best season and has
been a big help in the winning of
the pennant, but here he is in COM
petition with one of the great young
players of the generation-a young
man who almost surely is going to
be one of the greatest second base
men of all time before he winds up.
Yonks Have Big Edge
In OutfieId
frankie Crosetti has the call over
Bill Myers at shortstop. The mar
gin here-over seasons span-is
wide. Myers is good, workmanlike
ball player, but he lacks Crosettis
spark and agility.
Red Rolfe is better than Werber at
third. Werber just about made the
Reds infield. Without him they
would have had a harder time win
ming. But Rolfe is the best third
baseman in either league and a
valloping, timely hitter.
Bill McKechnie, who probably
wouldn't agree with anything that
has been written here so far-pub-
licly, anyway-admits the Yankees
have the advantage in the outfleld.
Ival Goldman is the best of the
Red outfielders. He is dangerous
hitter and door die outfielder
but the Yanks can pit Charley
Keller or Tommy Heinrich against
him and get better than an even
break
In center field for Cincinnati there
Is the Ight-hitting ball hawk, Harry
Craft-and in center field for the

On Pitchino Hill

Ernie Lombardi, back of the bat

is good catcher and a good hitter.
His average this year hasn't been so
high, but he is long range hitter
and one of the best men on his side.
lombard would be picked over
many catchers in any test. But this
time he happens to be paired of
with fellow named Bill Dickey.
In pitching the edge rests with
the Reds. Paul Derringer and
Bucky Walters have won 50 games
between them-the greatest number
of games won by any two pitchers on
the same club since 1915. Behind
them range Gene Thompson, Johnny
Wander Nicer and Lee Grissom.
Charley Ruffng heads the Yankee
staff. Vernon Gomez, unbeaten in
World Series competition, hasn't been
too effective this year, has strained
muscle in his right side and may
not be ready for action in this series
Ruf1ng probably will have to look
for his main support to Monte Pear
son, Bump Hadley and Oral Hide
brand-all capable pitchers, but not
too certain in any given spot.
