This year, in manner of speak
Ing, they will be series veterans.
Also, they see a gap in the Yankee
pitching ranks which they hope to
charge light through.
Gomez and Pearson are washed
up and Ruffing is slipping" says
Mr.. Lombardi. Mccarthy would
have to use his young pitchers,
Russo and Breuer and those, and
they'd be as nervous as We were
last year. We'd slap 'em down"
The grimmest missionary of the
whole Red team is Mr.. Derringer.
A great pitcher for 10 years-a
pitcher in the tradition of Matty
and Alexander and Babe Adams
and Burleigh Grimes-Paul has
pitched four World Series games,
two in 1881 and two in 1899. He
hast lost them all. When destiny
gives him his next chance, he
doesn't mean to miss.
It don't care who it is in the
series this year, just SOS I can throw
at them" says Derringer. But the
Yankees would be kind of nice
Il am very worried about the

Reds Eager for Revenge,
Hope Yonks Get Flag
BY JOHN LARDNER,
special Correspondent of The Star.

NEW YORK, Sept 16 (NA.NA0.
The Reds of Cincinnati may be
pardoned at this bend of the road
for talking and thinking about the
World Series. Things are not quite
the same as they were year ago.
when it was hanging offense to
mention series around the Cincin-
natl clubhouse.
Last year the Reds were stalking
their first pennant in 20 years. A
hot club, the Cardinals, was huStling
right behind them. All fingers were
crossed. and until the day they
clinched the ribbon the ballplayers
remained darkly and superstitiously
mute on the subject of October and
the YankeeS-th0ugh their owner,
Mr.. Powell Crosley, in his happy-go-
lucky way, was building World
Series seats all around them
This year, as veteran pennant
winners, they feel surer and easier.
The Brooklyn club is we'll astern
and far from hot Manager Will
McKechnie, to be sure, gives off the
impression that the Reds will be
lucky to stay in the first division,
but that Is merely Williams cau-
tious Aberdonian manner. Even
the canny son of Clan McKechnie
admits in his unguarded moments
that the pennant is possibility.

Cincinnati Gang Roots
For Old Enemies

We'll win if we don't lose" says
Mr.. McKechnie.
Il don't worry so much about the
Cubs any more"
The Cubs were mathematically
eliminated from the race a week
ago Saturday.
AS for the players. they know they
are in, and the World Series is
foremost in their minds. They
frankly are roofing for the Yankees
to cop in the American League
They hone for touch of revenge,
as the saying goes. They feel that
the Yanks, who beat them four
straight last fall in humiliating
fashion, are more their size this
year.
"Derringer should beat them
twice" says Ernie lombard. He
shoulda beat them twice last year"
There is something in that point
of view, and in the feeling shared
by all the Reds that at the time
the series ended last year, the score
should have been two games to
two, with the Yankees clean out
of pitchers and everything favor
ing a Cincinnati victory.

Yonks Somewhat Lucky
In Series Lost Yeor

The World Series of 1889 was not
a typical Yankee landslide. The
first and last games were lost for
Derringer by his own teammates,
after big Paul gave two brilliant
performances. With the score two

desperate for pitching. Mr.. Joe
Mccarthy confessed it at the time.

Pearson, winner of the second game,

Short of stamina and with a bad

had to quit after two innings of the
third game, leaving the balance Of

sentative in the national tourna-
ment.

Notre Dame, played in the Western
