CINCINNATI, Oct. 3.-Knocking
Schoolboy Rowe out of the box in the
fourth inning, after spotting the
Detroit Tigers two runs in the OPEN
ing chapter, the Cincinnati Reds
defeated the Bengals in the second
game of the World Series here this
afternoon.
The score was to 3.
Walters Wild at Start.
The gloom that settled over the
Rhineland in the first inning, when
the Tigers took a to lead, could
have been cut with a butter knife.
Paul Derringer had failed to last
two rounds yesterday and today it
looked as If Walters would not sur
vive the first because he walked
Bartell and McCosky to start the
game and then pitched single to
Gehringer.
1t was line hit to right field and
badly played by Goodman, who
could easily have caught Bartell at
the plate. Instead he threw to Sec
ond base. Bartell scoring and Nc
Cosky reaching third, from where
he scored as Greenberg drilled into
a doubleplay, Werber to Joost to
Frank Mccormick.
Rowe, who seemed to have every
thing in the first inning as he re-
tired the Reds in order, began to
fade in the second while Walters
improved. Leading off Cincinnatis
half of the frame. Frank Mccormick
singled to left. Ripple popped out
but Wilson, the 40-year-old catcher
coach of the Redlegs, sent McCor-
mick to second with a single to right
and Joost, the substitute second
baseman, who is playing in place of
the injured Lonnie Frey, threw the
crowd into an uproar by singing to
center
Tebbetts Throws Wildly.
With Mccormick across and the
sc1re cut to 81, Myers pumped
earprise single to left, scoring Wilson
with the tying run. Rowe was stag
horlng and Catcher Tebbetts didn't
help matters when he attempted to
pick Joost off second and threw
into center field, advancing Joost
and Meyers to third and second.
With two men in scoring position
and only one down, Walters had
chance to give himself a lead but
the pitcher, better than average
hitter, only lifted a short flv to
center and the runners stuck to
their bases.
With relief pitchers frantically
warming up in the bullpen, Rowe
loaded the. bases by walking Werber
but Mike Mccormick finally got him
out of the hole by popping to Bar
tell, ending the inning with the
score tied at %.
1t didn't stay tied for long. Back
bounced the Reds in the third,
Goodman starting things by beating
out a drag bunt and Ripple, with
one down, dTpositing a screaming,
llne-drive Eonis NJ into the right
field bls<aAers, making it AZ Rowe
came up for the fourth but he
didn't finish it. He got Myers,
the first hitter, but Walters and
Werber sent two base hits down
the left field line, tipping the score
to So and sending Rowe to the
showers. Corsica came in and re-
tired the side with no further
scoring.
