Overlooked Players
Take Star Roles
For Yankees
By JOHN LARDNER,

special correspondent OF Inc Staf.'
NEW YORK, Oct. 6 NANA.).-
If you looked too quickly at the
Yankees during the season. you were
apt to miss Monte Marcellus Pear
son and Ellsworth Dahlgren en-
tirely. Both of them belonged to the
submerged tenth of the greatest
team on earth-Pearson, an erratic
pitcher with a mediocre record;
Dahlgren, a stop-gap first baseman
taking Lou Gehrig's place.
But Dahlgren and Pearson are the
twin Yankee series heroes to date,
Dahlgren the hitting star, Pearson
the kingpin hurler. Both forgotten
men are fine ball players. Fine
players can be forgotten on the
Yankees. That's the kind of ball
club it is.
Every time Pearson pitches
World Series game-he has won four
and lost none-the beaten National
Leaguers scratch their heads.
"Why don't you hear about this
guy?" demanded Travis jackson of
the Giants three years ago. II never
saw anything like him." r.
Say, that's terrific pitcher" ex-
ploded Gabby Hartnett last fall.
How do they ever beat him?" +
Today, the Cincinnati Reds were
too tired and doleful to say any
thing at all about Mr.. Pearson, but
their record speaks for them-one
single in the 9th inning, another in
the 9th, and one lonely base on balls.
Pearson tied Herb Pennock's
World Series record, with seven and
one-third innings Of no-hit ball.
Pennock, the old left-handed silver
fox farmer, kept the Pirates hitless
for that period In 1927.

Shrewd Baseball Critics

spects. Goose Goslin, the former
Washington outfielder whose affllia-
ton with Trenton has earned him
the distinction of being baseball's
only playing owner, Clipped in with,
Hes gonna be a great ballplayer.
He gives those pitchers fits"
Estimates of what the Yankees
gave for Keller range from $4,000
down to $4,000, but whatever the
cost the Yankees aren't regretting
it. Grifith's financial status hardly
permits him to gamble that much
sugar on a promising collegiate
specimen, but chances are some
Washington fans never will forgive
him for allowing the Yankees to
pluck him from Maryland's campus,
less than 10 miles from Griffith
Stadium.
Keller, who obtained a degree in
dairy husbandry at Maryland, hasn't
acquired the suavity and polish Of
most OF the Yankees, but he's get
ting along. He leans more toward
the farmerish side, but his associa-
ton with baseball's best has ironed
some of the yokel boy from his sys-
tenn and what remains is genuinely
ikeable.
They dubbed him King Kong" at
Maryland and it wasn't altogether
inappropriate. His sleek, trim mus
cles; 100 pounds draped over a S foot
10 inch frame, lengthy arms, semi
slouch and even his walk seem to
personify something plucked from
the pages of an Edgar Rice Bur-
roughs novel,
Charley may or may not have
been named the most likely to sue
coed" in his graduating class, but
from the standpoint of accumulat-
ing cash he may lead in that re-
spect. His pay during the season
has been estimated conservatively at
$4,000. He'll reap at least $4,000
more from the World Series and re-
ceive a neat pay boost next year.
King Kong" it appears, has
emerged from the jungle.

EN- ROUTE TO CINCINNATI.
Oct. 6.-The new mourning color is
red-Rhineland red. And Cincin-
natl is wearing it.
AS the series battle-ground today
was shifted from the banks of the
Harlem to the banks of the Rhine
there was nothing to disturb the con-
sensus that New Yorks Yankees
would become the first ball club of
modern times to win four consecutive
world championships. The Reds,
beaten to by Red Ruff1ng in the
opener and shut out, 40, yesterday
by Monte Pearson. cling to only one
hope-that their luck will change in
their own ball park.
The Reds, due to arrive in Gin
cinnati today almost simultaneously
with the Yankees, insist they aren't
whipped. They talk of the prowess
of Rookie Gene Thompson, the 90
year-old pitching sensation, who will
face the Yankees tomorrow in the
third game. They confidently ex-
pect Paul Derringer to win his Sec
ond start. They say that Bucky
Walters, the beaten pitcher yester-
day, can come back and win a game.
Both Red Aces Trumped.
But the Reds aren't the cocky
band they were reputed to be before
the series opened. They threw away
the first game for Derringer and that
hurt. And they never were in yes
terday's game. That hurt even
more.
They saw big Derringer pitch one
Of his greatest games and they saw
the Yankees counter with Red Ruff
fing, supposedly suffering from a
sore arm, and match Dom Pauls
performance.
They unveiled their second big ace
Walters, and saw their 27-game win
ner paled by the brilliance of Pear
son, who had no-hit, no-run game
in his grasp until the eighth inning,
when Catcher Ernie Lombardi sin
gled cleanly to center. The only
other hit off Pearson was made In
the ninth, when Bill Werber singled
with one out. It was the second
time on base for Werber, who had
walked earlier. Neither Werber nor
French Bordagaray, who ran for
Lombardi, got past first.
Pearson was the story of the sec

BY BURTON HAWKINS,

There is nothing particularly spec
tacular, hashy or colorful concerning
the Yankees Outfielder Charley Kel-
Ter, but to many whose business it is
to know baseball the bushy- -browed,
muscular lad represents the rookie
of the year. And Charley isn't let
ting 'em down in the current World
Series.
In the lingo of the diamond fra
ternity, Keller is rated solid"
player. He can rearrange the
stitches on balls with his sizzling
smashes and his somewhat squat ap-
pearance bellies his feetness afoot.
He's thoroughly reliable outfielder,
covers sufficient acreage and throws
to the right bases with authority.
At least one New York scribe al
ready is beginning to compare him
with Babe Ruth, which is quite a
comparison, but substitute Keller
doubles and triples for the Babe S
mighty home-run blasts and the
likeness doesn't appear too far
fetched.
Keller, at any rate, has inherited
the job Ruth held and physically he
resembles smaller edition of Mr..
Swat. Facially, too, there is a SEM
blance of similarity. Anyway, the
former University of Maryland ath-
lete is commanding attention as one
of basebalrs best.
Hits at 1915 Pace in Series.
Currently blasting at a .375 pace
in the series, having connected for
a single, double and triple in eight
appearances at the plate, Keller has
figured in half of the Yankees six
runs to date. He is proving some
thing OF a pest to the National
Leagues most highly regarded
hurlers.
There really is no reason for reg
istering surprise, for Charley. by
this time, has become recognized as
a natural hitter. Either that or hes
been amazingly lucky for some sea-
sons. In both his seasons with
Maryland's nine he thumped for av-
erages of over 500, but that, II
seems, was simply starter.
For Keller graduated to Newark
OF the International League, quite
a running broad jump from campus
teams, and led that loop in his first
year with some such gaudy average
as 1856. Last year he batted 1865
leading the leauge in runs and hits
and the Yankees decided he was ripe
for the big show.
So they brought him up and by
midseason Keller had established
himself as regular He finished

erage in the American League anc
