ming back to the wall and tearing in for short flies. He threw to all the bases. handled ground balls, and studied the drift of balls in the wind.
 Hanks willingness to do little more work, try little harder, was remindful of Joe DiMagg.o's deter imitation to get his batting eye ill this same park year ago. Joe worked a full hour after his team mates had called it quits, swinging at pitches. He took his cut until he began to find the range of the walls, and you'll remember that it paid off in the series.
 Greenberg didn't have to work eSterday. Of all the men who star ted the series today he is the biggest star. His salary is tops in either league. He is the American League home run king with Al, the leader in doubles with 50, top man in bat ting in runs with 150 banged across the plate, $40 hitter, and far from being the worst left fielder in the business.
 Haru WOfkcr
 But Greenberg is a perfectiOniSt. No one will ever know how many hours he practiced when he first went to Detroit as first baseman. Not natural player. he had to get hsi skill the hard way. He was in the park every morning, practicing. He worked himself into one of the best first basemen.
 When they moved him to left field last spring. and gave first base to Rudy York, Greenberg started toil- ing all over again. He was the first man in the park and the last one to leave.
 I'm going to learn to play the outfield if it kills me-" he said. T just don't want to be known as a big guy with big stick in my hand
 He was awkward as two left shoes when the season opened, but the finish of it found him better than average outfielder, and the most valuable man in the league. He not only did a good job of left field fielding but he had the best year of his career at bat. Never before had he hit as high as .340.
 Big Hank is the fellow the Red pitchers must stop if the National League is at last to win a World Series from the American. He was bouncing balls off the fence and the bleachers in batting practice. I pick the Reds in six games but I'm not 50 sure after seeing Greenberg in that extra practice session. If he isn't satisfied with himself, and intends to increase the tempo of his havoc, then heaven help the Derringers, Walters, and the rest.

Newsom's s Spring Song On Series Was Real Prophecy
Told Detroit SpOrtswriter Last April Tigers Could
 Land in Series
BY GEORGE KIRKSEY

Cincinnati, Oct. 2.-(UP)-There is no more picturesque individual in baseball than Louis Norman New som, who will make his world series debut today by pitching the open ing game for the Detroit Tigers against the Cincinnati Reds.
 Buck, as he's known to the pro- fession, or Bobo, as he calls himself, is man of few thousand words, mostly about himself. But nobody can blame Newsom for talking about Bobo. There is so much to tell and it is all so intereSting-like the time he pitched a game with broken knee.
 NewSom was pitching for Wash ington. Earl Averill hit him with a line drive and they were carrying him of the field when he overheard some remarks from the Cleveland bench about his courage. His southern blood began boiling and he stormed back out to the mound and finished the game, losing by cone run. That night in the hospital the X-ray showed his kneecap had been fractured in several places.
 Newsom has bounced around plenty since he first broke into baseball with Greenville, s. C., in 1928. He's played with the Dodgers and Cubs in the National league and the Browns, Senators, Red Sox and Tigers in the American league. He made two trips to the Browns the club from which the Tigers res cued him in 1899. Some say Buck has talked himself of more clubs than any player in history.
 Called the Turn
 But Buck is harmless and the Tigers love him. They should, be- cause he was the first Tiger to get the pennant bee this spring. In sev- eral conversations in the spring with Charlie Ward of the Detroit Free Press Bobo talked up the Tigers pennant chances.
 We've got lot of ifs on this club" he said, "but you know if they all come through we'll have ourselves hell of a ball club. l wouldn't be a'tall surprised if we landed in the world series"
 T thought he was crazy" Ward said today. But here he is pitch. ing the opening game"
 Wants Free Car
 Newsom won 2l games and lost five and was ever ready to help the Tiger cause. Many times he picked up his glove and trotted down to the bull-pen of his own volition just so he'd be ready in case Manager Del Baker needed him.
 Buck has two ambitions-to wir a world series game and to get some one to give him an automobile. He,s been to i47 dinners and banquets ir Detroit this season, hoping every time he'd find a brand new gasoline buggy parked on his hat check when he left.
