BRAINS, BRAWN'.
 WORLD SERIES GETS UNDER WAY
Derringer, Great Control Pitcher Gets His First
 Chance At Tigers
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor

Cincinnati, Oct. D. (UP) = It's power against pitching, brawn against brains at the Detroit Tigers and Cincinnati Reds open the World Series today.
 Favorites in the betting at 3 to 2, boasting four 300 hitters and line- up loaded with enough power to break down the walls at Crosley field, the Tigers are the Goliaths of this struggle that starts at 1:3O p. m. (EsT) on the banks of the Ohio
 Against that awesome array the Reds will send 8 cunning, fast thinking ball club that is weak on hitting but has more good pitchers than a crockery merchant.
 The day dawned cloudy and cool with slight breeze. The weather bureau had forecast light showers, but the chill winds were expected to drive of any rain.
 A warming sun broke through four hours before game time with a promise of almost ideal baseball weather.
 Cincinnati's half million residents made every hour carnival time as the opening of the series approach ed. All of the 33,0O0 seats in CroSley Field are sold, grandstands have been built on roofs, window space in apartments overlooking the park sells for $1 square yard and flags brighten the streets. Business will stop for two hours this afternoon when old Bill Klem dusts of the plate and tells the boys to go to it.
 For Detroit it will be Bobo New som, the fireball right handler, on the mound. Roasting record of 21 games won and only five lost dur ing the regular season, Bobo deliver ed himself an oration last evening, the gist of which was that he would blow the Reds down with his fast one.
 Looks Like Paul
 Deep, mysterious silence came from the Cincinnati Board of Strat- egy, and there is 8 fair chance that Deacon Bill McKechnie, the willy manager of the Reds, is cooking up a plot. He refused to name his start ing pitcher, but hinted that 1t would be one of his ace right handers-Paul Derringer or Bucky Walters. The best guess is that 1t will be Derringer, cool, nervy citi- zen, who is just about the best con- trol pitcher in baseball.
 Despite the fact that their line up is loaded with aged ball players, the Tigers are in good physical con- dition. Manager Del Baker will be able to field bis strongest team and shoot in capable, able-bodied re- serves in emergencies.
 The Reds dressing room on the other hand, looks like the receiving ward of an emergnecy hospital. Little Lonnie Frey, Ernie Lombardi and Jimmy Ripple are all casualties.
 Despite the casualty list, confi- dence runs through this city and McKechnie predicts victory no mat ter how much he has to patch his lineup. He thinks he has a better ball club than the outfit that went up against the New York Yankees last year and lost four straight games through jittery, uncertain fielding.

Changes in Restrictions
On Child Actors 0pposed

The civis section OF the Women's
City Club yesterday passed a reso-
luton opposing the pending Con-
gressional measure which would
modify the Districts restriction
against. children appearing on the
stage.
The resolution pointed out that
the District child labor law, as now
written, permits boys over 16 and
girls over 18 to appear on the stage
professionally after Z pm, while
prohibiting younger children from
performing except in the afternoon.
IAN effort is now being made
to amend this law to lower the
child labor provision to permit chill
dren of any age to appear on the
stage as late as II pm. and for a
total Of four hours a day seven days
q week and would place on the
Board of Education the burden of
deciding whether the play is offen-
sive to public decency and whether
the education. health and morals OF
the child will be properly safe
guarded" the resolution said.
'This proposal is opposed to pres
ent-day public opinion which is
modified behind the movement for
higher child labor standards; would
make it possible to replace adult
performers by children; would ex-
noSe vo,,pc chi1dra,, tn vo,,deville
variety shows and revues, whose
character might be most unsuited to

mental to the health Of such chill
dren; would fatigue and injure the

proper educational training and
