Republican Club 81 Tacoma
l. =. CampaeIi 49, Ci.zEzaza.
There was some difference Of
opinion as 70 whether the group
should organize - a political
and social club to continue after
the campaign. or merely as a
marching group to stimulate in
terest in the Republican candi-
dates.
Gen. Csvanaugh. called on for
advice. said he had been = Re-
publican since he was Is. had
marched in Lincoln's campaign
in 1854. He believed in march,
ing clubs but also was an earn
est advocate Of the type OF club
that would carry on after the
campaign
So he advised the Tacoma
young Republicans TO organize a
marching group to serve the i'm
mediate needs Of the campaign
and then incorporate social fea-
lures that would keen the club
intact for other rs. He
said ne hoped l. ce coun-
ty and the beautiful 1lty of Ia
coma redeemed from the hands
of the Democracy into which it
had fallen last spring"
The young Republicans of 1890
did q lot OF marching but the
results were not entirely salts
factory. AS a social organiza-
ton 1t was total loss and soon
passed away. Populists and Fus-
ionists were getting a foothold
in the west and the next thing
the Republicans knew the Popu-
lists, with the group known as
Fusionists, swept the state and
elected John r. Rogers. That
was one of the worst lickings
the Republican party in WASH
ington took until the New Deal
landslide came along.
This is not intended as a bad
omen for the young Republicans
of this generation. but in these
parlous times one never knows.
Tacoma had longshore trou-
bles fifty years ago, too. but they
grew from a different cause than
those which tie up shipping to-
day. In the case fifty years ago
1t was not a question OF shorter
hours or more wages but how
much work certain gang could
do In an eight-hour shift. The
issue was being discussed with
some heat. A member of one
gang said his gang could do
more work than the gang bossed
by a "scab" from Seattle. Mem
bers of the other gang resented
the implication. Names not used
in polite society were hurled back
and forth and the next thing
there was a free-for-all fight
that tied up operations for a few
hours. And 1t happened because
one gang claimed to be able to
DO more work than another.
There appears to be two sides
to the story about Washington,
d. C., police breaking up prayer
meeting on the capitol grounds.
In 1882 when there were some
minor disturbances in Washing
ton, congress passed a law re-
quiring a permit signed by the
speaker Of the house and the
president of the senate before
any group, no matter what the
purpose, could invade the capitol
grounds. One of the first things
a recruit on the capital city po-
lice force learns is that the law
OF 1882 is still In force and any,
body who attempts to get by
without the official permit is
out Of luck.
The episode has led the edi-
torial writer of one OF the church
papers to remark that even
when people asseble to pray they

TODAY'S
 SPORT PARADE
BY HENRY McLEMoRE

United Press Stan correspondent Cincinnati, Oct. 9.-(UP)-Isnt 1t high time, now that the shouting is over, that someone wrote 8 piece for the papers about the forgotten man of the World Series?
 think so, and today's little liter ary gem will be devoted to one Bill McKechnie, alias the deacon, the man who managed the Cincinnati Reds to the first National World Series victory since 1894. In all the drum beating for the Jimmy Wilson's, the Paul Derringers, the Bucky Walters, the Buck Newosms and the Pinky Higgins, the quiet, little man with the spectacles has been sadly neglected.
 Miracle Man
 And that's not right, because when the end of the year comes and the boys start naming the miracle man of 194O sports, McKechnie is going to gett he No. 1 spot. Just look at what he has done. In the first place, he has beaten the Ameri- can league three times in the space of six months.
 The first licking he gave those supposedly invincible sluggers was in March, down in Tampa, in the all-star game between the two loops for the benefit of the Finnish re- lief fund. McKechnie organized a National team, drilled it in his per- centage baseball beliefs, and knocked off the SluggerS, 2 to l.
 He handed out licking No. 2 in the big all-star contest in St. Louis in July. His club was a 3 to un- derdog, but he hopped the National leaguerS to a point where they went out and blanked the mighty men of Harridge, 4 to o.
 And then came the World Series, where important money rides on every pitch and every hit. Not only did he win, but he won the hard wayl Three times the Reds had to get off the canvas and fight back, and the way they did it stamped them as club with a heart. Wilson to the Rescue
 Mind you, McKechnie went into this series with a seven-man ball club. His hardest hitter-in fact, just about his only hard hitter-was out with an ankle injury. The loss of Lombardi was blow, but Mo- Kechnie has the love and loyalty of his men, and for him Jimmy Will son forgot his years and gave one of the greatest cluSch catching ex- hibitions baseball has ever seen.
 It was for McKechnie that big Paul Derringer pitched his heart out to win two ball games. Paul told me that his highest baseball aim was to help pitch the Reds to 8 pen- nant for McKechnie.
 The series had just finished, and the Reds still were piling into their dressing room, when Del Baker, manager of the Tigers came in to congratulate McKechnie. T hated to lose it." Baker said, "but Bill, if I had to lose, I'm glad it was to you. You're okay in my book"
 That goes for everyone who has ever known the man.

PENNOCK NEW BOSS OF RED SOX FARMS

MO KECHNIE NOW.
 RATED GREATEST. .1S4O MANAGER.
Reds Boss Handled Three Teams That Beat Amer
 iCan League Stars
BY HARRY FERGUSON United Press Sports EditOrl

Cincinnati, October g. = (UP) - The year 194O will go down in base ball history as the one in which the domination of the American League was broken, the one in which the New York Yankees collapsed, the one in which Bill McKechnie of the Cincinnati Reds emerged as the top manager in the game.
 Cincinnati,S victory in the World Series yesterday was the third of string that demolished the myth that nothing could stop American League power. The National League won in the spring (the all-star game for the Finnish Relief Fund in Tampa); {; the National League won in the summer (the all-star game at St. Louis); the National League won in the fall = the World Series.
 Each time McKechnie, the canny, cagey Scot, who has a, talent for handling pitchers, managed the Ma tiollal leaguerS. And each time top- flight pitching and an excellent de- fense turned back the sheer power of the American 1eaguers.
 No Disgrace
 The Detroit Tigers were defeated but not diSgraced when they dropped a 2-1 ball game yesterday afternoon and the World Series to the Reds, four games to three. On form, the Tigers hadn't figured to win the American League pennant and cer- tainly they didn't figure to make the World Series the close, exciting contest it turned out to be.
 It was pitching that turned the tide. The Tigers got good pitching out of Buck Newsom for two games, but when they asked the old boy to work the final game with only one days rest they asked more human flesh could do. Buck tired in the seventh inning and the RedS pushed across the two runs needed to win the game and the series. Paul Derringer and Bucky Walt CTS, meanwhile, pitched for the Red: with the same steady competence that has carried Cincinnati to two consecutive National League pen nants. Walters stepped into the breach twice when the Reds were behind and squared the series by giving up only eight hits in twt games.
 And when the pay-off day came yesterday the Reds had Derringer tt throw into the battle. It was a spot made for one of the best clutct pitchers in the game.
 Working calmly and confidently big Paul stayed the distance ana allowed only one run = a run tha would not have scored except fof { Cincinnati inf1eld error.
 His pitching - And the pitchinI of Wa1teFs-is the reason the street of Cincinnati were ankle deep il paper and confetti last night as tn city became one big carnival to cele brate the first world championship since the Chicago Black Sox threy the 1919 series to the Reds.
