NEW YORK, Sept. 16 (NANA).
The Cincinnati Reds are obstinate
fellows and do not believe what
they are told, especially about them
selves. When they met the YAM
KEGS last fall and bounced of,
bruised all over, they were told that
= they were clowns and that Ernie
Lombardi, who wound up in the dirt
at the plate, was the biggest clown
of all. This spring they were told
that teams so Inundated in World
Series do not come back and that
they were due to give way to either
the Dodgers or the Cardinals.
But here they are with another
pennant all wrapped up. They are
better than they were year ago

Finding Himself at Lost,
Werber Sparks InfieId

Werber, this year as last. is the
KEY man in the infield which. by
the way, has made fewer errors than
any in the league. Challengers in
1898, the Reds cracked in the in
field and faded as the Cubs went
on to win. Last year Werber. at
third base, worked a startling i'm
provement in their first line of de-
fense. pulling it sharply together
and holding it.
This year he not only hasn't re-
1axed his grip on the defense. but
on the attack he has been slam
ming the ball in the pinches. He
is the best lead-off man in the
league and, when he isn't leading
off, he is cleaning up, hammering
in the runs put on the bases by
the men in the lower end of the
batting order.
1t took Bill a long time to ma
ture as ballplayer, knocking
around on Yankee farms and in the
American League. 1t took him a
long time to discover that he could
play third base better than he could
play second base or shortstop. But
he clicked in time to contribute
heavily to Cincinnati's first pen
nant in 20 years and now he is in
there helping to nail another one to
the pole.

Reds Only Club to Get Up
After Yankee MouIinq

A game crew, the Reds believed
IN nobody but themselves and so
escaped the fate of other clubs that
had been run over by the rolling
Yankees. No other club beaten in
four straight games by the Yankees
ever came back to win the following
year and that was more than a CO.
incidence. The morale of the vic
TINS had been shattered by the de-
feat and the criticism and abuse
that followed it.
- McKechnie himself was victim Of
one Of those debacles, losing his job
when the Cardinals cracked in 1929
after the Yankees had fattened
them in the fall of '28. But this
time he had a stronger fibered bunch
and they hammered back from the
ragged edge of ruin while the guf-
flaws Of the mob still rang in their
ears.
Barring that one slump early in
August, when Lombard and Gene
Thompson were out with injuries
end the whole team rocked under
the tragic fate Of Hershberger, the
Reds have given such smooth per-
formance that it is difficult to pick
out this man or that and say that
if it hadn't been for him thev
wouldn't have rushed to another
flag.
But I'll cite three men without
whom the Reds would be tagging
