PITTSBURGH, Sept. 81. (UP)-
If Paul Derringer were a miracle
worker off the mound as well as on
it, he would see to it that both the
Detroits and the Clevelands collas-
ed, and that the Yankees got into
the world series this year.
Paul was one of the Cincinnati
Reds who spent an afternoon off
here yesterday listening to the bat
tie between the Indians and the
Tigers, and for the life of him he
couldn't work up much enthusiasm
over the outcome.
I'm still hoping that something
will happen SO the Yanks will get
in the series against us" the big
pitcherI said. I sure would like to
have another crack at those fellows
and so would everybody else on
the team. We haven't forgotten
those four straight lickings, and
with the club we have this year we
could take 'em.
Did this mean that Paul felt the
1910 Reds were much stronger than
the Reds of a year ago?
"Just twenty-five to fifty per
cent stronger, that's all" Derringer
answered. All you've got TO do is
look in the records and see the
number of games we've won by one
run this year. It's an amazing
number-39, I think-and that's the
proof of a great team. ANYBODY
can win games by six and seven
runs, but the good ones to win
are those close ones"
I asked Paul which team the
Reds would rather tackle, the IT,
gers or the Indians.
Doesn't make much difference
We can lick either one of them. Oh
course. we know little more about
the Tigers. We played exhibition
games against them and have Q
pretty fair line on their pitching and
hitting. AS for the Indians, mol

Rounding the 500 mark, James
Emory Foxx hopes to be around
long enough to break Babe Ruth's
major league record-7l4.
Jimmy Foxx will be 33 in Octo-
ber. and plans to remain in the
thick of things until he is 40.
Foxx has averaged 40 circuit
clouts year since he first adjusted
his sights with the Athletics in 1929.
Five more good seasons would put
the versatile star of the Red Sox
within easy striking distance of
Ruth's total, and he now feels he has
as many as seven in his system.
Foxx insists that playing is easier
for him today that it was in his
peak days with the AS.
Il waste less energy" explains the
Sudlersville Slugger. except when
I'm catching Red Sox pitchers"
That was why Foxx was happy
to be released from the backstopping
assignment when Lou Finney's bat
ting fell off to such an extent that
his presence was no longer required
at first base.
Catching would shorten my car
eer." says Foxx. 1T also affected my
batting. There was the greater risk
of injury. Catching pitchers lacking
control takes a lot out of a fellow,
and it is discouraging when they
are getting nobody OUT

Gehrig's home run total, and Ruth
are the only players who hit 500

Detroit Blasts Cleveland,
Takes Over League Lead

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.
CUP) - The Detroit Tigers,
regarded as Humpty-Dump-
ties last spring, were back
in undisputed possession OF
the American league lead today for
the fourth time in 13 days and, to
all intents and purposes, it will
take more than Clevelands team
of mutiny" to oust them again.
The Tigers blazing finish yes
terday before 22,50S fans at Detroit,
which enabled them to rescue game
almost lost, put the doughty De-
troiters in position to deal the
Indians a fatal blow in the second
game of the series today. Schoolboy
Rowe, leading the American league
pitchers with Is victories and only
three defeats, was primed to scalp
the Indians. He's beaten the tribe
twice this season and hasn't lost
to them. Cleveland must depend on
AL Milnar, uncertain southpaw who
hasn't registered a decision against
the Tigers all year.
If ever a team had another in
a position to hammer home crush
ing loss. that's where the Indians
had the Tigers yesterday. With one
out in the eighth, the Indians led,
Al. Up to this point Mel Harder
had allowed the Tigers only three
hits. He had them eating out of his
hand. Five more outs and he was
over the hill. But at this critical
moment Harder weakened slightly
and Manager Oscar Witt weakened
even more. When Harder walked
McCoskey and Gehringer singled,
Witt quit on his pitcher. He stopped
the game and brought in Bob Eel
Ter.
That proved a tragic mistake.
sFeller never got man out Hank
Greenberg slugged him for sim
gle. So did Rudy York and Frank
Hidgins. These three hits, combined
with Beau Bells tumble on York S
single, gave the Tigers Sd lead.
Joe Dobson replaced Feller, and
Pete Fox singled. After a squeeze
play failed With Higgins being
caught at the plate, Bruce Camp
pell, an ex-Indian, singled, scoring
Fox with what proved to be the WIN
ming tally.
The two clubs still have five
games left to play with each other
but Cleveland's lack of ability to
come through in the clutches and
Detroit's Indian sign on Feller make
the Tigers favorites to come through
with one of the biggest upsets in
baseball history. An Illustration of
Cleveland's failure to take advan-
tage of opportunities was demon
strated strikingly yesterday. They
knocked Buck Newsom out of the
box, and had the Tigers on the run
but couldn't protect their advan-
tage. The Indians made Is hits,
including four doubles, and scored
only five runs while the Tigers made
nine hits, all singles, and outscored
them.
In the last night game of the sea-
son, the ST. Louis Browns edged
the Chicago White Sox, 7-6, be-
fore 1928 persons. Harlond Cliff
homered for the Browns in the first
with the bases loaded while Jack
Rosenthal hit one for the White
Sox.

Jo-Jo Whites fifth inning home

Seattle the margin by which it de-
feated Oakland. 4 to 2. last night

Los Angeles took a similar game

home runs in the majors. They also
are the only athletes who hit so
or more in a season more than
once.
Because of the proximity of fences
and stands, Better Foxx figures a
left-hand pull hitter has a 30 per
cent advantage over a right-hand
batter in the home run department
Despite this, had conditions been
the same in 1882, when he wound
up with So. the one-time farm boy
believes he would have cracked
Ruths season record of 60 by 10 or
more.
Ruth had a bulge by playing n
games in a convenient Yankee sta
dunn, and in 1927. his biggest year,
balls that bounced into the stands
were home runs. They were two
base hits in 1882, and have been
since.
A right-field screen was put up
in St. Louis after Ruth's top sea-
son. Foxx smacked the ball against
it a dozen times in 1892.
Ruth had the e30-foot right wall
of Cleveland's old League Park at
which to shoot in 1927.
Since 1882. Foxx, who also hits
the ball well to right field, has
made numerous appearances in
Cleveland's vast Municipal stadium.
Babe Ruth could smack 'em and
so can Jimmy FoXX.
They have been the greatest long
distance batters-left and right-of
all time.

Washington Eleven
Experts' Choice
IN Conference

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 81. (UP)
Picking the winner of the 1910
Pacific Coast Conference football
race looks easy. It's University of
Washington.
The man who delivers our milk,
the boy who follows him with the
morning paper. the conductor on the
inbound trolley car the white clad
chef at the coffee and counter
and the clerk in the cigar store
agree-it's Washington this year.
The men who make football their
business, men like Coach Babe Hol-
lingbery Of Washington State and
Coach Tex Oliver of Oregon, also
agree-its Washington in 1910.
The few dissenting votes come
from those who think Howard
Harding Jones will lead his U. S. c.
Trojans into the Rose Bowl for the
third straight time.
And few-a very few-hold that
Lon Stiner's heavy, exerienced Ore
gon State team might finally crash
through.
Jimmy Phelan's University of
Washington team has been the fav-
orite before, but only once in the
last decade have the Huskies made
it. Something always seems to hap
pen to boys from the banks of Lake
Washington Injuries, alumni snip
ing, dissension, falldowns of key
players.
The experts-both amateur and
professional-insist it "ain't gonna"
be like that this year.
Phelan has in Dean McAdams the
coasts most accomplished passer
and possibly the vests best half
back, although Jimmy johnson of
non conference Santa Clara may
protest on that. He has in Rudy
Mucha one of the nations better
linemen, center who is a bearcat
on defense. He has further in Jay
MacDowell one of the best pass
snagging ends in the business and
he has veteran linemen, support
ing backs and deep reserves. The
schedule may wreck the Huskies.
They play bruising Minnesota first.
Two years ago this intersectional
opener threw Washington off the
track for the remainder of the YER.
In case that happens this season,
look for the men of Troy or the
orangemen of Oregon State to earn
the Rose Bowl dough and glory.
After those three standouts. the
rest of the conference ensemble is
on pretty even terms, although
Babe Horrelrs U. c. L. A. Bruins
may surprise to get into the first
three. If U. C. L. AS Jackie Robin
son proves as rugged as Kenny
Washington in the key attack spot,
maybe the Bruins, unbeaten but
tied four times last year, might go
all the way. The possibility isn't one
to bet even money on.
California is coming up with a
new backfield star, Sophomore Jim
Jurkovitz, but the rest of the team
is virtually the crew which finished
next to last in 1889. Stanford, Ore
gon and Washington State also look
strictly second division from this
viewpoint.
