resident, of whom we have written

ever made a coffin with hand tools
and without the aid of machinery
in the county, if not in the state

much in honor of this man, know

would much rather we would tell
you of the tender care bestowed
upon him by all from the aged wife
down through the long list of chill
dren, grandchildren, in-laws and so

BY HENRY M'LEMORE

CINCINNATI - Darwin must
have been right insofar as my
own branch of the human family
was concerned. else how could I be
% at home out on a limb?
I tip-toed lightly out on a limb
when I picked Cincinnati TO win
the world series days before the
thing started. That was monkey
business Of the first order, because
the National league hasn't won a
series since the Red Coats burned
| the White House in 1914. Mote
/ TO Purists: l know, I know, il
wasn't known as the White House
until few years after that burn
ing)
Now with Cincinnati behind
two games 10 three, I am going
10 scsmper further out the
same limb and re-pick the Reds
to beat the Detroit Tigers. In
seven games, Detroit has
done all the winning that 10
IL going to do.
I am not entirely alone in this
confidence in the Reds, because the
bookmakers have made the Reds
even money favorites to take the
series. If you want TO know why
this state Of affairs exist, I'll tell
you.
To start with, Bucky Walters
going today for the Reds. Bucky,
the handsome boy who turned
from third-basing to become one
of the greatest pitchers in the
game. He domesticated the Tigers
in the second game of the series.
giving them just three hits. No
body hit the ball very hard that
day. The Greenbergs, the Nc
Coskys and the Gehringers don't
run wild when they have to look
at pitching.
So. we give the Reds today's
game. In other words. we allow
as how Walters holds the Tigers
while the Reds work on School
Boy Rowe. The School Boy Is not
the pitcher he was a few years
ago. He made a come back, all
right, and more power to him, but
his fast ones gone. He hasn't his
sudden" any more to use a base
ban term. And that was mighty
near all he ever had. He has to
rely on cuteness now, and the
Reds love that. Being cute them
selves. with no power. they operate
best when faced by pitcher who
has TO guess along with them
Now, giving today's game TO
the Reds. which evens the
series, who must you ride In
the pay-off seventh? Detroit
will have no one TO pitch. No
fresh hurier. that's sure.
NeMsom has done his job.
Bridges has reached the age
where he needs q week OF
rest TO restore the elasticity
10 his arm. That leaves only
the likes of Trout, Corsica,

SACRAMENTO, Cal. sta e
Controller Harry 3. Riley arched
his eyebrows when a bill came in

San Quentin prison had built
