Cincinnati Team Bubbles Over
With Confidence That
They'll Win Series
BY

CINCINNATI, Oct. T. Up The
old "we-can-do-it" spirit boiled over
the Cincinnati Reds clubhouse today
as the players ratified up the steel
steps with sparks flying from their
mouths as well as their spikes.
Manager Bill McKechnie opened
up.
We'll be back. in there tomorrow
with Paul Derringer and it will be all
over, with us the winner hope
the bespectacled McKechnie said.
Bucky Walters unwinding after 4
day of brilliant pitching, fielding and
hitting, hoped to his locker and
tried to undress with one hand. The
other was busy shaking with at least
so persons.
Somebody asked, "What'd you do
close your eyes and swing on that
homer?".
do you think I can't hit?" he shot
back. j.
Bill Werber also suffered from
congratulations, especially on his
hand in starting the ninth-inning
double play that eliminated Rudy
York's last threat and made sure of
a shqtout for Walters.
Powell Crosley, Jr., owner of the
Reds, came in on his dignity and
stayed for a good time. Horace
Stcneham, owner of the Giants.
Joined him and told the Reds to
make it a National league year.
McKechnie reported that Jimmy

planned that way.
That hit had some red ink at
tached, though. Jimmy was worked
around to third and had to make his
40-year-old legs pump to score the
Reds third run. He came in with
two pulled muscles, both in the right
leg.
McKechnie was concerned enough
to tell him to go to bed as soon as
possible, but Jimmy, the irrepres:
sible, retorted, "I'll tape the damned
things up and finish. I'm gonna see
this through" .
Dick Bartell of the Tigers threw a
flock, Of bats into g.. corner in De-
troit's. clubhouse and. sat down dis
gusted.
"They got all the breaks, but they
won't get them tomorrow, what the
help"
Del Baker said he didn't know who
would oppose Derringer, but the
players confidently expected it would
be Bobo Newsom, who stood the Reds
on their heads in Detroit yesterday.
Newsom, dressing in front of his
locker a few feet from Baker, broke
the tension by declaring that "Satch.
ell" Paige, the famous negro profes.
sional pitcher, would be the Tiger
starter.
Hell be here at 1870 tomorrow
afternoon" Newsom said. -
Baker became serious for a mo-
ment.
II expected we would break loose
any minute" he said, "but Walters
must have had more stuff than we
thought. He pitched a great game
and you've got to give him credit.
Hell, we won the hard way and
we might as well win the series the

clinch the revolution.
The Old Spirit
Who wins today doesn't matter
20 much as the fact that the good
old competitive spirit has again
been aroused and that once more
to get something you have to fight
for it.
That's what happened in tn e
American league. The Tigers won
the right to meet Cincinnati in the
World Series the hard way. If
they win the world championship
today they will be doing that by
the hard way, too.
Before the Series started we fig
ured that it would run at least six
games. 1t has-and today's finale
tells the proverbial tale.
A Hard Defeat
Dukes loss to Tennessee Satur-
day was by the largest margin a
Blue Devil team has suffered since
Wallace Wade's second year at the
Methodist and tobacco institution
back in 1882.
In that year Auburn defeated
Duke 1877 and since that time
that is until Saturday-the Blue
Devils had never been beaten by
more than one touchdown. In most
cases the margin vas less than
that.
This and That
Students in the elementary and
Junior high schools of New Han
over county are getting excited
about the touch and six-man foot
ball schedules being played this
fall. 49,. The touch game was
started yesterday and the six-man
variety gets under way this after
noon DR.. Stephen Mcintyre,
president of the Lumbee Kennel
club, at Lumberton estimated that
around 200 dogs of all breeds will
be entered in the clubs first dog
show on October 10. Citadeps
Light Brigade which plays David
O here November 30, came out
with flying colors in their first 1910
game, defeating Erskine $50. -.
However, Coach Bo Rowland does
not figure on much against Fur
man Friday afternoon. We
talked with Laurence Leonard, Of
the Greensboro Daily News, a few
days ago in regards to baseball in
the Gate City. . Gus didn't see
much chance of Greensboro getting
baseball in 1941 and compared the
status of that city to Wilmington
in regards to the game. Word
gets to us that Wilmington has a
chance to pick up a franchise from
at least two towns in the Coastal
Plains Glass D league. /
