REDS
Give WALTERS
HIS 23RD WIN
Ruffing Takes 2lst and
Teller His 10th in FRI \
day Contests
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Sept. 9-(UP)-Base-
balls three foremost chunkers-
Bucky Walters of the Reds, Red
Ruffing of the Yanks and Bob Fell
Ter of the Indians--blazed their way
to new triumphs yesterday to furth-
er their claims as the outstanding
pitching candidates for the Major
League all-Star club.
Walters, pitching with only two
days rest, Gained the jittery Reds
by pitching a brilliant 5-hitter to
give the Rhinelanders So VIC
tory over the Pirates. 1t was Wal
ters' 23rd triumph, eight more
games than he's ever won, and
made him the Major League leader
In games won.
Ruffing, who has been subjected
to some rough treatment by the Red
Sox lately, had them at his mercy
as the Yanks beat the Beaneaters,
Al, in a Thinning game halted by
rain and darkness. 1t was victory
No. q for Ruffing, tying his best
previous year (1938 in wins.
Teller notched his Goth triumph
by hurting the Indians to q 12-l
victory over the Browns. Bob,
whose previous high mark was II
last year, set the Browns down with
five hits and famed five to in
crease his total strikeouts this sea-
son to 2l2. Oscar Grimes had a
perfect day with IS for g."
Keeping the Reds 4 Ia game
lead intact, Walters not only did
Yeoman service on the mound but
broke a % tie in the 9th with a
home run. In volunteering for
pitching service after beating the
Cardinals in a 10-inning game on
Tuesday, Walters gained new sup
port for selection as the National
Leagues most valuable player. He
and Paul Derringer are holding the
Reds pitching staff together.
The Cards beat back the Cubs
bid to challenge for second place by
licking the Wrigleys, 1913. The Red
Birds shelled Claude Passeau from
the hill in the fifth, and collected
IL hits off five Cub hurlers. Enos
Slaughter, with a double and three
singles, and Don Gutteridge, with
two triples, led the Cards attack.
Brooklyn grabbed undisputed pos
session of fourth place by scoring
a double victory over the Phillies
l1-2 and 81. Bill Crouch, recalled
from Montreal, held the Phils to
seven hits in the opener to beat
Kirby Higbe. Jimmy Ripple, play
ing his first game for the Dodgers
since he was bought from the
Giants for the waiver price, was
the hero of the second game, called
at the end of the fifth because of
rain. He hit a triple with two on
in the first, and another triple with
one on In the third to drive in all
Brooklyn's runs.
Although the Yanks lost half q
game when President Harridge
ruled they had to replay a game for
feited to them in Boston last Sum-
day, the Bronx Bombers kept their
lead at 16 1-2 games by downing
the Red Sox, Al. Crosetti's homer
and Selkirk's double gave the Yanks
two runs in the first which were
good enough to win for Rufus the
Red.
The Athletics snapped a 5-game
losing streak by nosing out the Sen
ators, 5-4. Although slugged for Is
hits Cotton Pippen went the route
to end Washington's 5-game win
ming streak.

Basketball Comments
BY URIC GWYNN. JR.
High School Reporter

s0ssssssssssssssssssssss
! In answer to the article written
by the sports writer who covered
the basketball games Monday
night at the schools gymnasium,
/ the members of the girls section
of the High School Athletic AS
ISOLATION wish to make clear sew
eral facts concerning the said con-
duct at the gym that night.
| For the benefit of those inter
eSted. we wish it to be known
why such actions occurred, as
were referred to by the sports
writer.
Under the able coaching of
Mrs. Wilmington, the girls bas-
ketball squad was scheduled to
play an independent team in the
first game Monday night. The
officials of the Island City Bas-
ketball League asked them to re-
linquish their place for the play
ing of the first of a three-game
championship series. This the
girls agreed to do, with the UNI
Outstanding that they would play
the second game of the night.
When the time came for the
second game, did we see the girls
on the court? No, we found the
High School Varsity and the Park
Tigers, two quintets scheduled to-
play a third game. It seems that
the members Of these teams had
contacted the proper officials and
refused to play if they had to
wait until the girls completed a
second game. .......-.
AS to the confusion caused at
this time, may it be known that
the turning out of the lights was
not done by a student, but by
a spectator who said that he saw
no reason why any of the persons
in the Gym, who had paid the
regular admission charge to wit
ness the long-looked-for girls
game, should have to sit through
a contest between two teams that
have played together several
| times before.
To quote several of the specta-
tors at the Gym Monday night
they thought the craftsmanship
and the business mind Of the of
ficials in charge of the gymna-
SUM and those in charge of sched-
uling games were. very poor.
It is to be made known that
through invstigatione,. fully nine
ty percent of the spectators Mon
day night were three solely to see
the girls play.
