Yankees Dropped
To Third After
Iona Domination

NEW YORK, Sept 80. (UP) -
For the first time in five years,
the cry of break up the Yankees"
failed to sound at the end of the
major league season today.
The 1910 season which ended
with the Cincinnati Reds the Ma
tional league champions for the
second successive year and the De-
troit Tigers on top in the Ameri-
can, contrasted the fluid potency
of the Reds which gave them a
runaway victory, with the fall OF
the Yankees and the closest Ameri-
can league finish in 80 years.
In the final analysis, there was
no reason for the Yankees fall.
Man for man, it was the same
team that won four successive
world series. The new "no-trades
for champions, rule, poor spring
conditioning season, and four years
of easy success, seemed to have
been the elements of their flop.
The crack-up Of the Boston Red
Sox almost paralleled that of the
Yankees. Experts had thought that
if the Yankees slipped, the Red Sox
would take over. The Sox, with the
greatest hitting team in baseball
barely managed to finish in tie
for fourth with Chicago.
Detroit bagged the prize with a
team less fitted to a pennant-win-
ming pattern than any other con-
tender. The Tigers fielded the old
est infield in the league and tried
the dubious experiment of SWITCH
ing their two best hitters-Hank
Greenberg and Rudy York-into
unaccuStomed positions.
In the National league, the Reds
followed up their 1899 victory with
a well-ordered campaigns that sent
them across the wire IL games in
front of Brooklyn. If it hadn't
been for the Dodgers, there would
not have been any race in the Ma
tional league at all. st. Louis
changed managerial horses in mid
season but drove up to third under
Billy, Southworth. frankie Frisch
took over the disorangized Pirates,
steadied the pitching by acquiring
Catcher AL Lopez and tightened
the defense and finished fourth.
Chicago, with a poor infield, never
had chance, nor did the New
York Giants, Boston Bees and
Philadelphia Phillies.
Internal dissenSion licked the
Clevelands Indians, in the Ameri-
can, whose pitching staff is headed
by Bob Feller, greatest pitcher in
the game. The White Sox gained
added laurels for their hustling
manager, Jimmy Dykes, with a sur
prising fourth-place tie with the
Red Sox but little can be said for
st. Louis, Washington or Phila-
delphia except that the Browns
are the best of a poor lot.

UP)- The football world knows
him as cold guy. Not only as a
cold guy, but hard one. who looks
upon his players as machines, and
not as human beings to be patted

at a player failing to give his very
best.
He has been called the 'Dour
Scot, the Sour Scot, and Dead
pan Dentist" and a dozen other
things that denote aloofness. un-
friendliness.
But-and this is my story-is he
really that sort of man?
The answer is no.

I never will. I just hope they'll

come up for air along about next
Monday or Tuesday and proudly
boast of the 1910 Cincinnati Reds

With magnificent pitching and
staunch defense, the Reds will con-
quer the Detroit Tigers, champions
of the American league, in the world
series, opening here Wednesday, II
will be a long series, going perhaps
six. and maybe seven games.
The Reds will have to win on their
smartness, their classy pitching and
their tight defense. They cannot
hope to slug it out with the Tigers.
They have to muffle the Tigers siege
guns-Hank Greenberg, Rudy York,
and Charley Gehringer.
Paul Derringer, Bucky Walters,
the Reds two right-handed aces
who are due to pitch the first tW
games, can't make any mistakes on
the Detroit batting order and that
even includes everyone from little
Dick Bartell, the .234 hitting lead
off man, on down to Birdie Tebbetts,
the eighth place hitter. Every right
handed hitter in the Tigers lineup
is capable of betting the ball out of
the Cincinnati park.
The Reds cannot match the Tigers
power but neither can the American
league champions offer anywhere
near the pitching or defense that
Cincinnati will field.
With Catcher Ernie Lombardi un-
likely to get into the series before
Saturday because of a sprained an
kle, the Reds will go into the series
with only one legitimate 300 hitter
in their lineup-first baseman Frank
Mccormick. Outfielder Jimmy Rip
pie is also batting over 300 but he
played in only 40 games since COM
