beat them yet. The Tigers are scarcely great ball club. We don't think they are within 25 per cent of the Yankees we used to know. They had five cast offs, so to speak, in their liineup yesterday = Newsom, Sullivan, Higgins, Campbell and Bartell. The team is patch work of veterans and youngsters who happened to win out in 8 sub- normal American League race. It will be humiliating indictment against the quality of the ball that is played in the National League if the Reds don't win -- and right now their cause looks darker than a bright day in Pittsburgh.
 But we were talking about rela- tive styles of play. If nothing else the Tigers are a typical American League Club, they knock the cover off the ball. From top to bottom he lineup is loaded with dynamite. Even Sullivan, the catcher, hitting in eighth place, sent the Cincinnati right fielder up against the screen in right field to make . one handed circus catch of his line drive in the seventh. A foot higher and the ball would have gone into the stands for a home run. It would have been memorable home run, too, because the bases were loaded at the time.

hitskrieg had made shambles of the game.
 Never Won One
 Sitting in the towering press box and gazing down on the emerald green diamond bathed in a warm golden sun you felt sorry for the Kentucky sharpshooter. He is a gifted pitcher, one of the best. Yet he has never won a World Series game. The athletics beat him twice in 1881 and the Yankees duplicated the order last fall - despite the fact he was the outstanding pitcher in the series.
 It means something to pitcher to win world series game, soine- thing that can't be measured in the cold, clalnmy figures of the rec ord book. The reaction and the eff feet is something that borders almost on the spiritual. Derringer had so much confidence in himself and the Reds and was so sure of victory that he made big bet on the game. He's the kind of guy who doesn't mind winning a big bet (who does?) But the one thing he want ed to do most of all was to win himself a World Series game. As it turned out 1t just wasn't his day. All of a sudden a great pitcher found he had nothing. It was only in deference to Derringer's gallant past that McKechnie kept him in as long as he did, for 1t was plain to all and sundry that this wasn't his day.
 He's a better pitcher than he looked to be against the Tigers yes- terdays He may come back and

ROWE RATED A
 REAL SMART PITCHER NOW
Derringer Yet to Win World Series Game !; Wal-
 ters Has Hard Job
By HARRY FERGUSON (United Press Sports EditOr)

Cincinnati, Oct. 3-(UP) If Bucky Walters sinker ball doesn't sink to- day the Cincinnati Reds will.
 The lean right handler who puts baffling dipsy-doodle on a baseball is the lore hope of the Reds as they go into the second game of the world series this afternoon against the Detroit Tigers. Outhit, outpitched an doutf1elded yesterday, the Reds went down to a 2 to 2 defeat. Big Paul Derringer, their pitching ace, took the long walk to the showers in the second inning.
 It's not going to be easy for Wall ters, for his opponent is going to be Schoolbow Rowe, riding the crest of a great comeback and hungry for some of the gold and glory he earned back in the days when Mickey Cochrane was leading the Tigers to pennants. If Rowe blows down the Reds today, Manager Bill McKech- nie will lead forlorn hope when the battle shifts to Detroit tomor- row.
 The Schoolboy is strong and ready. There isn't as much zip on his fas tone as there was back in 1884, but the Schoolboy has been to the school of hard knocks and what he hos lost in speed he has gained in "savvy.' He pitches to spots now, works the corners and saves his strength for emergencies.
 Good in Clutch"
 . Walters, a reformed third base man, frequently is hit hard but when the runs are on the bases he has the knack of turning on the pressure and getting the men out. Cincinnati fans, betting heavily on their team, are invoking all the magic they know to keep Walters right arm lose and strong.
 Bobo Newsom has turned in bet ter games than the one he pitched for the Tigers yesterday, but the marathon orator had his stuff when men were on base and he got out with yielding eight hits. Regardless of whether the series goes only four games, the Reds are likely to see Bobo again, for the big guy can work after only two days rest.
 The most puzzled man in the park was Derringer after the avalanche hit him. He said afterward he thought he had all the speed and control he needed, but in the second inning the facts proved otherwise. The Tigers batted clear around the lineup with Hank Greenberg com- ing up twice. Five hits and two er- TOTS by the Cincinnati inf1eld pro- duced five runs-enough to win the game. Whitey Moore came in to re- ieve Derringer and Paul retired to the dressing room to ponder the whims of fate. Rated as one of the best pitchers in baseball, he has started four world series games in his career and never had won one.
 The second day of almost ideal baseball weather was indicated when a bright sun came out early. The forecast was for fair skies and it appeared that it might be slightly warmer than yesterday.

Newsom's Dad Dies
 Of Heart Attack

Cincinnati, O., Oct. 3.-(UP)-G. L. Newsom, 6S, father of Louia (Buck) Newsom, Detroit pitcher, died today of heart attack in his hotel suite near the room of his son who won the first World Series game yesterday.
 The elder Newsom had come from his home in Hartsville, s. C., to watch Buck pitch against the Cincinnati Reds. It was the second major league game he had seen his son pitch.
 The father had been in i'll health for several years. Earlier this sea- son he was stricken with a heart attack while visiting in Washing ton to see Buck pitch for Detroit against Washington.
 Newsom said he intended to stay with the Detroit club for the dura- ton of the series because that would be the way Dad wanted it"
 The body will be taken to HartS- vile and the funeral probably will be delayed until after the series. Mrs. Newsom, Bucks stepmother; Bucks wife, and two sisters, Mrs. Lillian Mathis, Laurens, s. C., and Miss Alline Newsom, Hartsville. were with the father at time of his death.

Limited Press Stan CorrespOndentl
 Cincinnati, Oct. 3 < CUP.) = The world series has a way of dredging up those little human interest stories that only baseball produces.
 For example, the strange story of Bruce Campbell. Here he is today with one leg on the hero's trophy after an amazing career that has hovered perilously close to tragedy.
 The fellow who held down right field for the Tigers yesterday and batted out a single and home run, drove in two runs and leaped out in front of his more famous team mates with batting average of .667 is playing on borrowed time.
 Back in 1895 he was carted to the hospital with spinal meningitis and the doctors told him, not once but several times during the fall of that year and the spring of 1886, that he'd never play ball again. He was in hospitals in Chicago, Detroit and Boston fighting for his life.
 But the soft-spoken Chicago boy smiled grimly and in a valiant struggle licked his insidious enemy. That was the closest call Campbell ever had but by no means the only one. His whole baseball career has been one close shave after another.
 He just got of the Cleveland In- dians in time. They traded him to the Tigers last winter in an even Sxuay1 fn7. paalI Re1I
 Campbell was 8 last minute starter in the opening game against the Reds. He didn't even know he was going to play until Paul Der ringer started wraming up. Bruce, if Derringer starts you will play right field" Manager Del Baker told him in the dugout dur ing practice. "But if Walters goes, Fox plays"
 Nice Pick
 It was 8 happy choice. Campbell did everything asked of him and more. He laid down a sacrifice to set up the Tigers first two runs in the second. His second time up he cracked 8 clean single. On his third trip he poled a homer.

Opening Game ShOWedDifferent. Styles Of Play
BY JOE WILLIAMS

Cincinnati, October 3. = No mat ter what the rest of the series brings forth the opening game was graphic demonstration of the dif- ferent techniques the two leagues employ. Baseball being such a standardized game as to the basic elements you would suppose all leagues and teams play it alike. This doesn't happen to be true.
 For the most part the National League is a time or ganization; the emphasis is on finesse, moderate power and tight defensive play. The American Leaguers stress the primitive forces of batting violence; they go all out for big, rowdy fruitful innings. They are as sluggers compared to boxers.
 There never was time when the Reds were in the ball game yester- day. Their star pitcher, Derringer, failed them in a crisis and before he was removed in the second inn ing the Tigers had scored five runs. Thus before the game had scarcely started 1t was over so far as the Reds were concerned.
 Too Much Power
 This wouldn't have been so If the circumstances had been reversed.
 It is entirely conceivable that the Tigers might have put on an ex- plosive big inning which would have changed the aspects of the situation all around. They have the power to score runs in punches; the Reds haven't. That's why the ball game was over when the Tigers scored those five runs.
 Splendid pitching can make any team look bad. The Reds looked bad yesterday, but it wasn't because they were up against Spendid pitch ing. Newsom turned in a very credit able job, but his performance was not one to inspire the lyrical poets. It was just a well pitched game, but 1t was good enough to beat the Reds.
 If the Reds had had any bite in their attack they might have blasted Newsom off the hill. As it was they pecked away at his miscellaneous offerings all afternoon. They hit him safely in six different innings. They had men on the bases in every inning except the third and the seventh. To opportunity'S repeated beckonings they had nothing to of fer but futile swings.
 That was the difference. When the Tigers opened up on Derringer they didn't stop. They kept punch ing away in the Dempsey manner until he almost literally collapsed. They have the power to do this and the Reds just haven't. The Reds are what the boys in the dugout call little hitters. They don't powder the ball. The Tigers do. When they hit a ball you know it has been well hit.
 It.waS boom, boom, boom against Derringer. Greenberg started it with a single to left. Come on, boys, we're off" shouted Del Baker, the manager, from the third base coach ing box. He was right. York, CamphelI,s Bartell and McCosky teed off on Derringer. all with solid, ringing base hits. Finally Bill Mo- Kechnie had to take his starter out of the box. By this time the Tigers

Cincinnati, Oct. 3.-(UP)-This is 8 story that had its beginning down south where the moon is big over plate of fried chicken, way and the Spanish moss sways in the live oak trees.
 And it's a story that will have its ending today in a World Series set- ting. Out under a bright sun and with 30,0O0 persons looking on.
 It is the story-as those of you who know your baseball already have guesSed-of those two Cincin- natl Reds, Bucky Walters and Jim- my Wilson. Bucky will do the pitch- ing and Jimmy the catching for the Reds against the Tigers today, and if this battery fails to win--but let us travel back through the years to a little fried chicken shack some where between Orlando and Winter Haven, Fla.
 Jimmy was manager of the Phil- adelphia Phillies then, and Bucky was a third baSenan. Not very good one, either, being just fair fielder and no great shakes as a hitter. They were working on their second drumstick, these two, when Wilson suggested to Walters that he try his hand at pitching.
 You're scarcely good enough at third to stay with this team" Will son said. And you don't make any dough. Why there are fifty pitch CTS making twice as much as you are, Bucky, and they're not very good pitchers, either"
 Walters said no. Wilson argued. They were on their third helping of chicken before Walters reluc- tantly agreed to turn pitcher, but only on the condition that if he failed, he would get another shot at third base.
 Tough Start
 Most of you know the trials and tribulations of Walters as a pitch CT. His first start was against the Reds and Larry McPhail, who was running the Cincinnati's at that time, came down from the stands to demand that Wilson remove Walters before the pitcher killed a bath of Brooklyn players.
 Through the season opposing players ribbed Walters uninerciful- " and the fans jeered and booed. But he kept at it-worked as few pitchers have-for three ordinary seasons.
 In the middle of the 1888 season he was traded to the Reds and was ready to take his place as great pitcher. He won 27 games last year and 9 this year.
 Today Bucky will have as his catcher the man who started him of on the road to success. The aging Wilson. until a few weeks ago thought he was through as com- petitor. But the death of Willard
