Landisx Ripple Aid Red

CINCINNATI - Judge Lands
and Jimmy Ripple won the worlds
championship for the Reds.
Five weeks ago the "or Jedge"
dug back in his files and con-
suited a bulletin he issued in Aug
ust, 1888. and then dispatched
this telegram To the Montreal
international league club:
Have player Ripple report to
the Cincinnati Reds Immediately"
That was early on the day
of August %. The commits
sioner's verdict based on his
August, 1898, bulletin, enabled
the Reds to obtain Ripple on
waivers frem the Brooklyn
Dodgers via Montreal, where
he was farmed out. The price
was $780, mere drop In
the bucket rs IL turned out.
Ripple reported to the Reds the
next day and played against his
former Brooklyn teammates. thus
beating the worlds series eligi-
bility deadline by two days. II
Lands hadn't acted promptly on
technically and awarded Ripple
TO the Reds after they claimed
him on waivers. the world series
would have been q far different
story.
Everything else beside the point,
Ripple delivered the poke that
brought the Reds their first title
in 81 years. II was a cracking
double off the right field screen
in the seventh inning of the final
game yesterday.
SCORES ON FLY
Frank Mccormick led off the
inning with a double. and scored
on Ripple's hit. Then Ripple ad-
vanced to third on a sacrifice and
scored on Billy Myers long fly
to Barney McCosky in deep center.
When the Reds claim went
through, Montreal objected to
releasing Ripple before the 10
day clause expired. But the
Intervention Of Judge Lands
enabled the Reds to get Ripple
under the gun by two days.

McKechnie Squod

CINCINNATI - It's clean
sweep for the National league.
The year 1910 will go down in
baseball history as the one in
which the domination Of the
American league was broken, the
one in which the New York
Yankees collapsed and Bill Nc
Kechnie of the Cincinnati Reds
emerged as the top manager in
the game.
Cincinnati's victory in the world
series yesterday was the third In
a string that demolished the myth
that nothing could stop American
league power.
The National league won In
the spring 1.-THE all-star game

the National league won In the
fall-the world series.
Each time McKechnie, the
canny, cagey Scot who has a
talent for handling pitchers, man.
aged the National league. And
each time top-flight pitching and
an excellent defense turned back
the sheer power in the bats Of
the American ieaguers.
TOO MUCH TO ASK
In the end 1t was pitching that
turned the tide. The Tigers got
good pitching-superb pitching In
one instance-out of Buck New
som for two games, but when they
asked the old boy to work the
final game with only one days
rest they asked more than human
flesh could do. Buck tired in the
seventh inning and the Reds
pushed across the two runs needed
to win the game and the series.
Paul Derringer and Bucky
Walters. meanwhile, pitched
for the Reds with the same
steady competence that has
carried Cincinnati TO two con-
seeutive National league PEN
nants. Walters stepped into
the breach twice when the
Reds were behind and squared
the series by giving up only
eight hits In two gamess.
And when the pay-off day came
yesterday the Reds had Derringer
to throw into the battle. II was
a spot made for one Of the best
olutcHl pitchers in the game.
Working calmly and confidently,
Big Paul stayed the distance and
allowed only one run-a run that
would not have scored except for
Cincinnati infield error.
His pitching-and the pitching
of walters-is the reason the
streets of Cincinnati were ankle
deep in paper and confetti last
night as the city became one big
carnival to celebrate the first
world championship since the
Chicago Black Sox threw the 1915
series to the Reds.

That explains Ripple,s tempera-

pennant-winning club again-he
played on the Giants of. 1886 and
1937-and wasn't sure the baseball
fates would ever give him another
chance to get autographs from
championship teammates.

Reds ought to look up Redheaded
Jimmy today and get his auto

to Bobo Newsom's Sunday pitch in

Argentine Scandal

1t is not surprising that Argen-
tinaS army land purchase scandal
should be interpreted in some quar-
ters as an evidence of a weakness
inherent in democracies.
There are powerful forces at work
In Argentina which are committed
to the overthrowing of all democratic
governments. If the land purchase
fraud-and an investigating commit
tee of the Argentine Senate seems to
believe that a fraud was perpetrated
can be converted to their uses, it
may safely be assumed that the
Fascist agents will not hesitate
to make the most of the opportunity.
President Ortiz plainly had this
possibility in mind when he prepared
his letter or resignation, for in his
vigorous defense of democracy he
said:
"The Palomar land scandal has
been utilized to confront our demo-
cratic system as if it were neces-
sary consequence of the samoa re-
lationship established in an effort to
shake confidence in the system. The
desire for dishonest profit is a result
of human imperfection and not a
consequence of any institutional con-
dition" This last sentence might
