WALTERS GIVES REDS
40 WIN OVER TIGERS
Continued from Page One)

Gorsica's work was wasted be-
cause Walters kept whipping his
fast downer to the plate where the
Tigers could do nothing with it.
Bucky also benefited from the sort
of tight defense that brought the
Reds their pennant, but which has
shown only in spasms in this series.
First Since 1884
AS the result of the Reds tri-
umph, the 1910 World Series will
be the first to go seven games
since the St. Louis Cardinals beat
these same Tigers in 1884 for the
last world championship won by a
National league club.
Cincinnati was in a good strate-
gic position to repeat this victory
by having big Paul Derringer
ready for the final game here to-
morrow with two days rest since
whipping the Bengals in Detroit
Saturday.
Manager Bill McKechnie for
once had no hesitation in naming
Derringer as his certain starter.
The Tigers appeared almost as
certain to come back with Buck
Newsom on one days rest and
hope that he can continue the mas
terry that subdued the Reds last
Wednesday and again on Sunday.
He thus would be in line to join
five other pitchers who have won
three games in a series of seven
or fewer games.
The Reds, although making two
errors behind Walters today,
looked the best they have during
the series in batting out a 10-hit
barrage against the three Detroit
pitchers and supporting Walters
with three double plays and many
remarkable individual stops and
throws.
Only Two Passes
Walters struck out only two men,
but he walked only two and with
the help of his teammates kept out
OF serious jams. He ret ed the
first five men he faced in order
and after giving up a walk and a
single in the second forced Birdie
Tebbetts to ground out.
In the third when Dick Bartell
doubled with one out and went to
third on a fly, Walters made Char
ley Gehringer pop up foul to catch
er Jim Wilson.
In the fourth, sixth and ninth
innings Frank McCormick, Eddie
Joost and Billy Myers helped out
with double plays. The two errors
had no effect on the game. In the
eighth inning first baseman Nc
Cormick tried to beat Pinchitter
Earl Averill to the bag after field
ing a grounder and dropped the
ball in a collision with umpire Lee
Ballanfant and in the ninth Myers
made a wild throw after a nice
fielding play on a grounder by
Gehringer.
Only in the third and ninth did a
runner get as far as third and in
the latter case it was Averill who
dashed acros while the Red in
fielders were busy making a double
play on two others.
The Reds filling the bases in
both the sixth and seventh innings
netted only n run, but this lack
of punch was their handicap all
year and the fine fielding a n d
pitching more than made up for it.
Reds Third Run
Clnclnnati's third run came dur
ing the sixth inning threat. Ripple
and Wilson hit successive singles
and Joost walked to fill the sta
Myers hit the first ball back
at the pitcher and Corsica threw
the plate to force Ripple. Then

Rome. - Italy announced eff
cially Saturday night that Alban-
ian troops had fought off "armec
Greek bands" in frontier clash
on Albanian soil, and foreign OBJ
servers considered the incident
might set off long expected out

the clash in the vicinity of Ko-
RIA (Koritsa), which is some Is

It added that the Greeks had
attacked Albanian outposts with
rifles and hand grenades, say
ing:
"The prompt reaction of an AL

BRITISH FOLLOWING

London.-The British are fol-

any political campaign outside

The national press carries cam

Illustrated with Photographs Of Wig

removed from the sedate Eng

AS whole, the newspapers
have taken no sides. They have
told their readers that both Pres

Willkie are committed to a con-
tinuation Of aid for Britain.
The Manchester Guardian, lib
eral paper of the north, sums up
editorially:
From the British point of view
it is enough to know that both
candidates have the strongest adj
miration for our fight and are
pledged to help us by all means
short of war; There is no reason
to suppose that, whoever is presi-

Brief Review OF S National And World News During The Week

Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tions if the third-term ticket wins
in November.
To a potential radio audience of
100000 persons, Lewis said Mr..
Roosevelt's reelection would be
national evil of the first mag
nitude." He charged that the
Democratic party had broken
faith with organized labor which
contributed huge sums to the pre-
sident's reelection in 1886 and
accused the administration of
failing during the past seven
years of power to solve the ma
TONS most vital problems.
Serving the last tie with the
chief executive, Lewis referred to
him as an amateur, ill-equipped
practitioner in the realm of poll
teal SCIENCE" an international
meddler," and as "the man who
ignores home considerations and
practices the modern sorcery of
war monrSring."
