Rush That Gave Bears
Second Place Brings

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 1.-The
Newark Bears, who came with a
rush in the last half of the Inter-
national League season to finish in
second place and then carried right
on through the Governors Cup
playoffs, will meet the Louisville
Colonels of the American Associa-
tion in the Little World Series to
start tomorrow night in the Ken
lucky city.
The Bears finally eliminated the
fourth-place Baltimore Orioles last
night with a 80 victory behind the
great pitching of Hank Borowy. 1t
took then seven full games to win
the final series, and the cup and
$4,000 prize money that goes with
victory. Now they get to repre-
sent their league in the Little World
Series for the third time in four
years.
The series schedule calls for three
night games at Louisville, the first
tomorrow and the remaining four
or less at Newark after q one-day
interval for travel.

Tebbetts Still Shaky.
The Reds were intrigued by re-
port that Birdie Tebbetts, Detroit's S
frst-string catcher, was pegging the
ball wildly in the closing game
against Cleveland Sunday. Tebbetts
got an awful wallop on the head
last week when an over-heated
Cleveland fan tossed a basket of
empty beer bottles off the upper
porch, and the Reds were wonder
ing If the blow might have given
Birdie more of a jouncing than he
realized.
The four lucky umpires have been
named for the series. Each Of them
will receive $2,500 in cash, as well
as commemorative ring big enough
to be used for a brass knuck. So
nothing much remains to be done
before the two clubs trot out on the
field tomorrow.
Before it is too late, the Cincin-
natl fans deserve considerable credit
for the way they have bought out
the park. They might easily be a
disillusioned group who could take
the Reds or leave them. Their first
championship club of modern times
had the questionable distinction of
beating the Chicago Black Sox 81
years ago. Last year their Reds
lost four in a row, and at the end,
when Lombardi was being trampled
around, fans rushed from the park

UnIuoky Derringer Gets
Lead Role in Series
BY JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK. Oct. l (NA.NA).-
The World Series is the greatest
show on earth to the true baseball
pecar-and the leading role in this
one will be played. I believe, by a
big shambling fellow whose hair
sweeps back of his dry, homely face
In brush-up pompadour, fellow
by the name of Paul Derringer,
whose teammates call him Duke.
l thought Paul, in defeat, was the
hero of the last World Series, but
Mr.. Derringer did not.
Maybe I lost a couple of tough
ones he says. 'but if I'd a done
the kind of job I should, I wouldn't
have to look for excuses No rea-
son why I shouldn't win with ordi-
nary support, and my club will give
me more than ordinary support. I
aim to win this time"
Paul has waited a long time to
win World Series game. He's had
four chances. He waited eight
years between the first two and the
second two. He's been in the major
leagues 10 years, and that's grrnr-
alton in baseball. Along with Hub
bell, Diz Dean, Grove and Charley
Rufflng, I'd say he's been the great
est pitcher in the decade of the
nervous 30s. But the dice never
have rolled right for Derringer.
Many players with his shabby luck
would be bitter today, instead of
hopeful and eager to be at 'em
again.
