NEW YORK, Sept. %. UP)-
While the good citizens of Cincin-
natl are still on their first pen
nant- winning Jag in two decades,
it would be pretty onerous to re-
mind them of what's liable to hap
pen to their Reds when they mix
up with the Yankees in the World
Series. So today's theme will be
football.
There is no such thing as pick
Ing "the best coach" in college
football, but 1t might be possible
to draw a list of the best 10 coaches
and 1t would be Just as impossible
to omit the name of Lou Little
from that 10.
Ii you remember, football was
deemphasized a long time ago at
Columbia. but year in and year
out Lou Little takes the run of
the mine talent that reports to the
Lions and makes a creditable show
ing in the east. His 1884 Rose Bow
victory over Stanford with a 81
underdog eleven is too recent to
be forgotten.
Lou, who is president of the Am
erican Football Coaches associa-
tion, made some very pertinent re-
marks at the annual Army -Colum-
bia football dinner last night, and
] think they are worth repeating
Football is becoming so COM
plicated and scientific that the
Monday morning quarterback will
soon be thing of the past" he
said 'Therell be no more second
guessing. 1t will be third guessing
and fourth guessing. 1t will be
Wednesday or Thursday morning
before the experts can figure oui
what went wrong. or what we die
that we shouldn't have done"
Little has been in this football
business o long time. 1t has beer
25 years since he was varsity
tackle at Pennsylvania. He hai
probably come closer TO reducing
the game to a science than an!
other man. His colleagues call hin
one Of the most resourceful teach
ers of football, both on offens'
and defense. and If he says tn
game Is getting technical, you ma.
well believe him.
There has been so much writer
and said about deemphasis of foot
ball and giving the game back Il
the boys, that this rmy-Columbii
rivalry is as refreshing as breatl
of fresh air in the subway. Ever

cials of the two schools get TO

series game but is the kind OF vet
eran who pitches at his best under
heavy pressure.
Lefty Gomez, who has never lost
world series game. seems defin-
itely out of the classic with a pull
led muscle in his side. If the Yanks
have to go beyond Ruffing. Pear
son and Hadley, the call is likely
TO go to Oral Hildebrand or Steve
Sundra. who finished up with II
straight victories.
The Reds third pitcher is almost
certain to be Gene Thompson. Do
year-old rookie who was in a class
B league last season. World series
are poison to rockies as Paul Der
ringer can testify, having lost twice
as a freshman in the 1898 series
against the Athletics when he was
with the Cards.
Stacking Ruffing- g-Pearson- -Haoley
up against Walters-Der r in err
Thompson. the YankS do not have
a tremendous advantage but they
must be conceded some edge be-
cause of the past world series con-
quests of their hurlers.
Long famed for their power the
Yanks have now developed into the
greatest defensive club in baseball
There is little doubt but that the
Yankee infield of Dahlgren. Gordon,
Crosetti. and Rolfe is the games
best defensive unit.
The Reds infield is sound but
Mccormick, Frey. Myers. and Wer-
Der must give all the bows defen-
sively to the Yanks.
The Yanks' offer baseball's great
est PLAYER in center. Joe DiNfaggio,
than whom there is no greater ball
hawk George Selkirk is a much
better left fielder than the Reds
Wally Berger. Ival Goodman. a
greatly under-rated ball player, is
at least the equal of the Yanks'
rookie Charlie Keller in right field.
Catcher Bill Dickey stands head
and shoulders above Ernie Jom-
bardi as defensive receiver.

The Series
Today. following the Cincinnati
triumph in the National league
we start series of articles COM
pairing the Reds and the New York
Yankees. champions of the Amer
ican league.
Quoting from an article prepared
By George Kirksey of the United
i Press:
Any way you look at it the Yanks
have the Reds outclassed defens-
ively-on the pitching mound, be-
hind the plate. in the infield, and
in the outfield.
But the Reds case is far from
hopeless. because pitching is 80 per
cent of any short series and Bucky
Walters and Paul Derringer cannot
be laughed off. Cincinnatis strong
arm boys have won 50 games be-
tween them, and are quite capable
of winning world series all by
themselves as the brothers Dean
did for the Cardinals in 1884. Hal
lahan and Grimes did for the Cards
in 1881. and Grove and Earnshaw
did for the Athletics in 1890.
Walters has won 81 games and
Derringer 25, and they've proved
they can pitch with two DAYS of
rest. The big question is. can they
pitch against the Yanks the way
they pitched in the National league?
If they can't the Reds might as
well reconcile themselves right now
to the losers end.
Although the Yankees pitchers
can't offer as imposing records as
the Reds for the season. they have
plenty to offer in the way of world
series class. Ruffing. the Yanks'
3 ace. has won four out of five world
series games, losing only to the in
comparable Carl Hubbell in the rain
in 1886. Monte Pearson, who al
ways comes up to the world series
complaining of various aches and
pains and then pitches a classic,
has won three straight starts. one
each the past three years. Bump
Hadley has won and lost world

Pie Traynor Ends
Reign as Leader
Of Pittsburgh Club

PITTSBURGH. Sept. %. (UP)--
Seventeen years as player and man
ager of the Pittsburgh Pirates
comes to an end Sunday when
Harold (Pie) Traynor takes off his
uniform for the last time.
Pie resigned today as Pirate
manager because he was unable to
produce winning team after five
and a half seasons at the head OF
the Pittsburgh National league club.
The 40-year-old Traynor, who
started a great career as Pirate
third baseman in 1922, will be re-
tanned by the Pittsburgh club in
some official capacity.
His successor has not been nam
ed but frankie Frisch, the Ford

Few Tricks
Ell Centre was not expected to
open it's bag of tricks in the three
practice games, nor were the Spar
tans expected to risk injury to
veteran players. Hanson planned
to use numerous substitutes.
That Ell Centre would try sew
eral passing plays was a certainty
because the Spartans have drilled
on pass offense all week. Hester,
Kirkpatrick and -Riedy will do most
of the tossing.
A number of the pass plays will
be worked just behind the line
of scrimmage TO test the effec-
tiveness of the basketball pass over
the line as allowed in the 1899
CIF rules.

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Sept. %.
(UP)-Los Angeles had to battle
10 hard innings last night before
nosing out Sacramento, 81, in the
opening game of the Shaughnessy
playoffs OF the Pacific Coast league
The Angels gave Fay Thomas a

New Law Provides That Contracts Between Attorneys

Supreme Court Has Set A $500 Maximum Fee.

modification of award for a period
of time up to 10 years.
The agreed bill, as offered in both
branches of the General Assembly,
seeks to protect the award made to
the worker or his dependents by elm
mating large lump sum awards of ac-
crued compensation, from which some
attorneys extract exorbitant fees
through contingent fee contracts, not
in conformity with the law.
The Supreme Court has held that
attorneys may be paid up to $500
maximum for representing claimant
in court, the fee to be fixed on the
basis of the amount of work necessary
to present the case.
A court of appeals ruling permitted
reasonable fee not to exceed 20 per
cent of the award" for presentation of
case before the Industrial Com
mission.
The law also provides that contracts
between attorneys and claimants shall
be filed with the commission, which is
without power to recover excessive
fees once they have been paid by the
claimant to the attorney, the claimant
having recourse only to civil action
for recovery.

PRES. URGES JOBSFOR
WORKERS OVER 40

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-Presi-
dent Roosevelt issued from Hyde Park
a proclamation to the American
people, urging them to find jobs for
men over 40.
Il am mindful" he said, "of the
fact that among those over 40 years
OF age are great body of our most
experienced, able, and competent
workers; that this group as a whole
is not sharing as fully as other age
groups in the employment revival;
that many of those over 40 have lost
their jobs through no personal failing
but because of circumstances over
which they, and their employers, had
no direct control; that among those
over 40 and still active in the labor
market are practically the entire
group of World War veterans (whose
average age is 46), a group that is
surely entitled to look to our society
for security and economic independ-
ence."
The proclamation was made after a
report was published, made by spe-
cial committee to look into the diff
culties of elderly men and women in
getting employment. The reference
of the President to World War vet
erans as averaging above the age at
which unemployment becomes difficult
has not been made officially before.
The Social Security Board, while not
trying to minimize the troubles which
the worker above 40 has in getting a
new job if his old one slips away, has
issued report showing that while he
holds his job, the highest paid worker
is between 45 and 49 years of age.
The lowest, naturally, is the child un-
der Is.

Peace Organizations Urge
Congress Stay In Session

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) - APP
proval of the demand that Congress
should remain in session as long as
the war crisis exists was expressed in
a statement issued here by six peace
organizations, including the Labor
Anti-War Council and the National
Council for the Prevention of War.
The statement said:
'"The Constitution gives Congress
the responsibility of war and peace.
No issue is of such vital Importance
to the people. Members of Cognress
could not better demonstrate their
patriotism, their faithfulness to the
Constitution and to the people than
by remaining in Washington to ex-
ercise their right to keep this country
out of war. 1t is to be assumed that
the executive desirous of collabora-
tion in this effort will welcome con-
tinuation of the present session of
Congress so long as danger of war
exists.
mo government policy can be eff
fective unless it has the united sup
port of the people. This united sup
port depends upon a clear expression
of the will of the people through Con-
gress and compliance by the executive
with that will"
