Colonials launch their 1910 cam

Jim Ellis, who will be seen at
guard position. was blocking back
in Gonzaga Highs backfield under
Orrel Mitchell three years ago, while
Marty Hunt was an end under Gene

Ellis, junior at the Mount" was
named on the mythical District all
prep eleven in 80 and, although best
known for his blocking ability,
teamed with Jim Shaw, no relation.
incidentally, as a ball carrier on
numerous occasions. It was their
work that was primarily responsible
for the defeat of Central, a loss
which virtually blasted the Blues
hopes for undisputed city cham
pionship honors that year.
Ellis was chosen on the all-star
eleven which bowed to the Monroe
(GaD Aggies in a post-season game
and was picked on several other
honorary combinations.
Hunts pass-snagging ability has
made him an important figure in
Coach Jim Diapers offensive plans
and he'll bear watching Friday
night. A basket ball star at st.
Johns, he has put on considerable
poundage since matriculating at the
Emmitsburg school and although
only a sophomore is rapidly winning
his spurs on the gridiron.
Draper, by the way, also is a
home town product, having gradu-
ated from Western before going to
Western Maryland, where he learned
his football under the expert tute-
lage of Dick Harlow, now coach at
Harvard.

Ry the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-Bill Nc
Kechnie, manager of the Cincin-
natl Reds, said today he will not
decide on his starting World Series
pitcher until just before the OPEN
ing game.
But it's safe to wager the wife's
allowance it will be either Bucky
Walters or Paul Derringer. It would
be ridiculous to guess any one else.
The outcome of the now-you're-
in -youre-out American League
race likely will have something to
do with which of the two aces gets
the call. Derringer throws curves,
and Walters losses sinkers, and the
one who rides the bench the first
day will be in the No. 2 slot.
Reds Eager for Series.
Paul was the lead-of man against
the Yankees last year. losing
heart-breaker, to l, in the ninth.
Should the Yanks slip in there
again. he might be given chance
for revenge.
This is one Of the few years in
which the National League pen
nant winner has had a chance for
relaxation between the clinching of
the flag and the series. Yet, if it
were left to a ballot of the Reds
they'd probably vote to start today
instead of waiting another week.
McKechnie says he intends to
keep as many regulars as possible
in the lineup during the rest of the
season.
Il don't want anybody to 60
stale" he said For that reason
I am using Walters today Tin the
first game of a double-header with

Sunday. Derringer also will pitch
another game before the season

Manager Bill says he has no
preference as to which team wins
the American League pennant.
That makes no difference to me.

who for a long string of years was
baseball's greatest keystoner. At 81
he still is whanging the ball at
.315, and though he has slowed
down little he still fields beau
tifully and teams with Dick Bar
tell. the Tigers 33-year-old chat
terbox shortstop in an effective
double play combination.
Thirty one-year- Pinky Hig-
gins isn't quite the third baseman
he used to be, either. His legs
bother him off and on. and he has
dropped out of the 300 class. Yet
he also has the solid years of ex-
perience behind him and should
prove steady in any World Series
crisis.
Yorks power, of course, is what
swings the pendulum toward the
Tiger infield. for both Cleveland and
Cincinnati have far better than
average combinations. Cincinnati
even has a better all-around first
baseman than York in big Frank
Mccormick. Cleveland. for its part,
has baseball's finest shortstop-sec
ond base duo in Lou Boudreau and
Ray Mack
Outside of Mccormick, who, in
cidentally, batted 400 against the
Yankees in the 80 series, Cincin-
MATHS best infielder is Bill Werber
at third base, a slick fielder and
a useful PTS hitter.
Myers, Frey Only Average.
Billy Myers at short and Lonnie
Frey at second are average fielders
and make their double plays to sup
port the clubs gilt-edge pitching.
Frey went to bat II times in the
last World Series without getting
hit. while Myers has had a miser-
abel season at the plate, dropping
to 215.
The two youngsters. Boudreau and
Mack, came fresh out of the Inter-
national League to transform a
wobby Cleveland infield into one
of the games tightest defenses.
Not only that, but Boureau has hit
around 300 right along with First
Baseman Hal Trosky, the teams

points above Third Baseman Kelt-
ner.
one of its "old men" coming down
with hardening of the arteries. Frank
Croucher has proved he can fill in
brilliantly at any spot except first.
Cincinnati has a good utility man
in Eddie Joost, while Cleveland
possesses in Oscar Grimes an extra
man who probably could play reg
ularly on any other team in the
country.
lombard Would Give Reds Bulge.
If Ernie Lombardi's lame ankle
mends completely, Cincinnati will
have big bulge over either Detroit
or Cleveland in the catching de-
partment. Neither Detroit's Birdie
Tebbetts or Cleveland's Rollie HENS
ley or frankie Pytlak is quite in
the same class with old "Schnozzola"
as slugger.
Shaking off what must have been
a burning memory of the 80 Series,
when the Yankees knocked him
down and then used his huge body
as a slide, lombard came back this
season to pound the ball at around
800 and to lead his club in batting.
On a bunch, he is likely to make
the American League regret the
indignities it heaped on him when
he numbers to the plate In the COM
ing Series.
