Wander Nicer Settles Issue.
Cincinnati hardly could be blamed
for snickering at that sort of a
spectacle, with the lead changing
hands six times in 10 days. AS far
as their own race is concerned, the
Reds have been in first place con-
tinuously since July and never
worse than third any time this
year.
The honor of clinching the flag
fell to Johnny Wander Nicer, as a
bit of added drama. The no-hit
king showed signs of his old self as
he kept eight hits scattered and
struck out 10. Then, in the 18th, he
led off with a double and scored
the winning run.
The st. Louis Cardinals, of all
clubs, gave the Reds an assist by
crushing the Brooklyn Dodgers, 14-7,
with 17-hit bombardment that in

HurI Ace With Only

Help to Cincinnoti
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

While the American League has
been muddling around for two weeks
like so many rabbits in a pen, the
Cincinnati Reds have copied their
second straight National League
pennant with an impressive display
of decision and dispatch.
Their 4-3 triumph in Is innings
over the Phillies Yesterday was their
18th victory in 10 games. A blister
ing finish, that may have an i'm
portant bearing on the world series.
1t used to be the other way
around The American Leaguers
would show up early with a great
show of invincibility and pounce
upon their prey when the National
League delegate finally arrived all
out of breath. The Reds didn't
stave off the rush of the st. Louis
Cardinals last year until Septem-
Der %, three days before the sea-
son closed, and they practically COL
lapsed into the pit the Yankees had
waiting.
Indians Squeeze Ahead.
But now. it is the American
League that is locked in a death
struggle. The Cleveland Indians
were so desperate yesterday they
called out Bobby Teller with two
days rest to face seventh place
Washington The strategy worked,
and the Tribe triumphed in both
ends of double header, 81 and 81,
to regain first place. But it might
boomerang when the Indians open
a three-game series with Detroit
tomorrow.
The Philadelphia Athletics, the
same tag-alongs who knocked
Cleveland of the top perch Tues
day, scored nine runs in the sec
ond game of their double bill at De-
troit yesterday to get a split and
force the Tigers out of the lead.
With the New York Yankees and
Chicago White Sox dividing their
double feature, the standings are:

to fill the shoes of Johnny White,
who failed to return to school. At
the moment, center is the weakest
link in an otherwise fair-looking
first team.
Harry Ledford, sophomore back

to disturb Bill Remnants confidence
in yesterdays practice and may have
secured a firmer grip on the posi-
ton by his pass receiving.

BY the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI. Sept. ia wear

tlonal sport in this town were
whooping themselves hoarse. kissing
perfect strangers, doing handsprings

acting in general as if somebody ID
Just gone the length of Vine street
tossing negotiable bonds out OF q
barrel.
Today there is a strange calm. as
dead as the geometric center of a
vacuum, spread over the Queen City.
Solid citizens are going about their
beer and skittles as if nothing had
happened.
Last year the Reds won their first
pennant in 20 years and this wear
they won their second in 81. But for
all the excitement, you'd think the
Red fans were New Workers, who
have had pennants in one league or
the other for good part of those
two decades.
Felt Certain of Play.
The Reds clinched the pennant
yesterday, but life among the rabid
fans went along in its usual grooves.
Money was won and lost, of course,
on the outcome of that thinning
battle in Philadelphia, but money is
won and lost every day here on the
outcome of something, from the flip
of bottle cap to race a thousand
miles away between a couple Of
platers nobody ever heard of.
Your Cincinnati fan really isn't
so blase as all that, though. For
him the immediate issue of the Reds
winning the pennant was in the bag
weeks ago. Even through the Reds
dreary August slump he knew they'd
come through, though at times he
said different.
Some Unkind Memories.
Thus the next issue is something
he can't control-"Who's to be the
opposition in the World Series which
We are going to VIM"
Here the betting Cincinnatian is
over his depth. All he knows about
the American League is what he
hears from some friend who had
nothing better to do on trip than
take in an American League game.
CHe also has certain unkind mem
cries of last October, but he can't
lay dollar on themD
So, until that matter is settled,
nobody's getting up much steam.
But If the Reds bring home that
world championship. hold your hats.

Lynn Barri and June Gale say that girls must live and, if possible, live very well, and they set about to prove it in Pardon Our Nerve" the 20th Century hit which opens tonight at the Coliseum Tne- atre.
 The film finds the girls as two hungry little angels muscling il on the heaven where min,s ecae1 and caviar grow, and gallops off b a lively start wh en they are sent horseback riding by the Elite Es- cort Service The patron happens to be the light-heavyweight cham pion of the world and the girls make an impression-but it's bad. The horses run away and the pie lures under way.
 To tell of all that happens from here to the end of the film-how they meet Guinn Williams, manage his fights in the ring. tie-up with Michael Whalen and run afoul of Edward Brophy-would require too much space and not do justice to the film. The solution seems to be that you go down and see for your self and you'll probably go back to laugh for more.
