SCHOOLBOYROWE GETS CHANGE TO CLINCH SERIES
Batted Out Last Time on Mound; NewsOm Pitched
 Fine Game
By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports Editor)

Cincinnati, O., oct. 7.-CUP)-A bowlegged, right hand pitcher standing in the breach for the Cin- cinnati Reds, today is the only ob- stacle blocking the Detroit Tigers from their first world championship since the great era of Mickey Coch- rane.
 Bucky Walters, master of the sinker ball and victor in the second game, goes for the Reds this after noon in what will be an all-or- nothing game for fans here in the Rhineland.
 Leading three games to two and needing only one more victory to win the series, the Detroit Tigers swaggered into town last night and announced that they would start Schoolboy Rowe in an attempt to end the business. Rowe was knocked out of the box in the second game, but he is well rested and hoping for a better fate this afternoon.
 Buck Had Courage
 Talk on the trains that rattled all night between Detroit and Cin- cinnati was about Buck Newsom and the courageous game he pitched yeS- terday to win an to 0 victory and send Detroit out in front. Buck not only threw three hit game and the first shut out of the sereis, but he did it at a time when his heart was heavy with grief and his usual ly loguacious tongue was stilled by sorrow. His father died in Cincin- nati on Thursday morning after watching Buck win the first world series game and one of the last wishes expressed on his death bed was that his boy should go out and win another one.
 Grim faced, and for the first time in his life, indifferent to the request of photographers for a smile, Buck went out and made good on that promsie.
 Junior Thompson, right handler who is completing his second sea- son in the majors, was the victim of the Tigers wrath. After Hank Greenberg hit a homer and three runs poured across in the third Thompson thought the worst had happened to him. Little did he know of the misery ahead. In the fourth, Tiger power exploded again when Dick Bartell whammed a dou- ble down the left field foul line SCOT ing Billy Sullivan who had walked When Thompson got rattled and walked Barney McCosky, he was through and Whitey Moore came in to try to stem the tide. He didn't improve the situation any by walk ing Gehringer and Rudy York and allowing Bruce Campbell to single. Before the inning was over, four more runs had scored and the Reds were out of the game.
 Reds Day
 If precedent and luck mean any, thing, this should be the Reds day Even numbered dates are lucky for them for they have won the second and fourth. The Tigers have taken all the odd numbered games first third and fifth.
 But today the Reds are counting more on Walters dipsy doodle than on luck or anything else. If Bucky can halt the Tigers today, Derringe1 will be ready for the seventh and final game tomorrow.

TODAY'S SPORT PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent

Cincinnati, Oct. 7.-{UP)-Darwin must have been right insofar as my own branch of the human family was concerned, else how could I be so at home out on a limb?
 I tip-toed lightly out on a limb when I picked Cincinnati to win the World Series days before the thing started. That was monkey business of the first order.
 Now, with Cincinnati behind two games to three, am going to scam- per further out the same limb and re-pick the Reds to beat the Detroit Tigers. In five games, Detroit has done all the winning it is going to do.
 I am not entirely alone in this confidence in the Reds, because the bookmakers have made the Reds even. money favorites to take the series. If you want to know why this state of affairs exists, I'll tell you.
 It's This Way.
 To start with, Bucky Walters goes today for the Reds. Bucky the handsome boy who turned from third-basing to become one of the greatest pitchers in the game. He domesticated the Tigers in the sec- ond game of the series, giving them just three hits. Nobody hit the ball very hard that day. The Green bergs, the McCoskys and the Geh- ringers don't run wild when they have to look at pitching.
 So, we give the Reds today'S game. In other words, we allow as how Walters holds the Tigers while the Reds twork on School Boy Rowe. The school boy is not the pitcher he was few years ago. He made a come back, all right, and more power to him, but his fast one is gone.
 Now, giving today's game to the Reds, which evenS the series, who must you ride with in the pay-off seventh? Detroit will have no one to pitch. No fresh hurler, that's sure. Newsom has done his job. Bridges has reached the age where he needs a week of rest to restore the elas- ticity to his arm. That leaves only the likes of Trout, Corsica, McKain, and group of delightful humpty- dumptieS.
 All Set.
 Cincinnati will have Derringer to go. Big Paul can get by with one day of rest. Given two days and he can reach peak efficiency. And Derringer, now that he has won a World Series game and proved to himself that he has the stuff, will be loose. tough, hard, ornery guy to hoe.
 So I give you Cincinnati as the World Series winner.
 Using my predictions of the past as yardstick, don't see how Gin cinnati can possibly = win.

With the fifth week of pin top bling coming up this evening, we find Eddie Beck's team leading the pack of Hopeville pinsters by few games. But, according to Joseph (Am a golfer) Halloran, 1t won't take any more than three games tonight to prove to the competition that "Undie" DelRussos aggrega- ton will replace Eddie'S outfit as king pin. Oh, yes, Joe holds No. 3 position on ''Undie's" team.
 Tony (The Barber) Cardinale, former secretary of the league, is back on the drives after a years absence. Whether or not the lay off will affect Tony's bowling re- nlnins to be seen. And, we also noticed, the clippers and scissors man sports pair of bowling shoes. Is that the answer kid?
 Al Trask was the fly in the oint- ment against Val Caron's team. Al it seems was 'There" in the pinch- es, enabling DelRusso's boys take 3 from Caron.
 The most surprised man in the league last week was Bernie Com merfOrd. Bernie's tally for 3 games being 332. How'd you do it Bernie?
 
 Wonder if the strenuous duties of Secretary Treasurer Phil CMack TrucD Kelly has any bearing on the under-par scores he has been treating himself to lately?

 Wonder how much Lou Osborne paid the pin boy for helping him topple the maple to the tune of 132 in the the first game?
 Fran 'Duffer" O'Donnell after a successful season on the links (Not counting the drubbing handed him by Joe, throw me a bone," Hal loran) thinks divot digging a cinch compared to hitting the 100 mark on the alleys.
 It wasn't Harvey Pelletier's fault that his boys dropped two, Harvey connecting for a sweet 351. Nice going Harvey.
 The league extends its sympathy to Ted" Hansen and his family in the loss of his mother.
 After a few more bottles of iin- ament, rubdOwns and the like, Walt Wilmot ought to come some where near the hundred mark. In his bowling we mean.
 So long until tonight at the Mattatuck Recreation Alleys at nine.
