 Cincinnati, Oct. g. CUP0 = The world series has a way of dredging up those little human interest stories that only baseball produces.
 For example, the strange story of Bruce Campbell. Here he is today with one leg on the hero's trophy after an amazing career that has hoyered perilously close to tragedy.
 The fellow who held down right field for the Tigers yesterday and batted out a single and home run, drove in two runs and 1eaped out in front of his more famous team mates with a batting average of .667 is playing on borrowed time.
 Back in 1885 he was carted to the hospital with spinal meningitis and the doctors told him, not once but several times during the fall of that year and the spring of 1886, that he'd never play ball again. He was in hospitals in Chicago, Detroit and Boston fighting for his life.
 But the soft-spoken Chicago boy smiled grimly and in a valiant struggle licked his insidious enemy. That was the closest call Campbell ever had but by no means the only one. His whole baseball career has been one close shave after another.
 He just got of the Cleveland In- dians in time. They traded him to the Tigers last winter in an even swan for Beau Bell.
 Campbell was a last minute starter in the opening game against the Reds. He didn't even know he was going to play until Paul Der ringer started wraming up.
 Bruce, if Derringer starts you will play right field" Manager Del Baker told him in the dugout dur ing practice. ''But if Walters goes Fox plays"
 Nice Pick
 It was g happy choice. Campbell did everything asked of him anc more. He laid down sacrifice tc set up the Tigers first two runs ir the second. His second time up hs cracked a clean single. On his thirC trip he poled a homer.

ROWE RATED A
 REAL SMART
 PITCHER NOW Derringer Yet to Win World Series Game; Wal-
 ters Has Hard Job
By HARRY FERGUSON iUnited Press Shorts EditOrl

 Cincinnati, Oct. 3-(UP)-n Bucky Walters sinker ball doesn't sink to- day the Cincinnati Reds will.
 The lean right handler who puts a baffling dipsy- doodle on 8 baseball is the lone hope of the Reds as they go into the second game of the world series this afternoon against the Detroit Tigers. Outhit, outpitched an doutfielded yesterday, the Reds went down to a 2 to defeat. Big Paul Derringer, their pitching ace, took the long walk to the showers in the second inning.
 It's not going to be easy for Wall ters, for his opponent is going to be Schoolbow Rowe, riding the crest of great comeback and hungry for some of the gold and glory he earned back in the days when Mickey Cochrane was leading the Tigers to pennants. If Rowe blows down the Reds today, Manager Bill McKech- nie will lead a forlorn hope when the battle shifts to Detroit tomor- row.
 The Schoolboy is strong and ready. There isn't as much zip on his fas tone as there was back in 1884, but the Schoolboy has been to the school of hard knocks and what he hos lost in speed he has gained in "savvy." He pitches to spots now, works the corners and saves his strength for emergencies.
 Good in Clutch"
 Walters, a reformed third base man, frequently is hit hard but when the runs are on the bases he has the knack of turning on the pressure and getting the men out. Cincinnati fans, betting heavily on their team, are invoking all the magic they know to keep Walters right arm lose and strong.
 Bobo Newsom has turned in bet ter games than the one he pitched for the Tigers yesterday, but the marathon orator had his stuff when men were on base and he got out with yielding eight hits. Regardless of whether the series goes only four games, the Reds are likely to see Bobo again, for the big guy can work after only two days rest.
 The most puzzled man in the park was Derringer after the avalanche hit him. He said afterward he thought he had all the speed and control he needed, but in the second inning the facts proved otherwise. The Tigers batted clear around the lineup with Hank Greenberg com ing up twice. Five hits and two er- TOTS by the Cincinnati infield pro- duced five runs enough to win the game. Whitey Moore came in to re- lieve Derringer and Paul retired tc the dressing room to ponder the whims of fate. Rated as one of the best pitchers in baseball, he has started four world series games in his career and never had won one
 The second day of almost ideal baseball weather was indicated when a bright sun came out early. The forecast was for fair skies and it appeared that it might be slightly warmer than yesterday.

Cincinnati, Oct. 3.-(UP)-This is a story that had its beginning down south where the moon is big over plate of fried chicken, way and the Spanish moss sways in the live oak trees.
 And it's a story that will have its ending today in a World Series set- ting. Out under a bright sun and with 5000 persons looking on.
 It is the story-as those of you who know your baseball already have gueSsed--of those two Cincin- natl Reds, Bucky Walters and Jim- my Wilson. Bucky will do the pitch ing and Jimmy the catching for the Reds against the Tigers today, and if this battery fails to win-but let us travel back through the years to 8 little fried chicken shack some where between Orlando and Winter Haven, Fla.
 Jimmy was manager of the Phil- adelphia Phillies then, and Bucky was a third baseman. Not 8 very good one, either, being just a fair fielder and no great shakes as a hitter. They were working on their second drumStick, these two, when Wilson suggested to Walters that he try his hand at pitching.
 You're scarcely good enough at third to stay with this team," Will son said. And you don't make any dough. Why there are fifty pitch CTS making twice as much as you are, Bucky, and they're not very good pitchers, either"
 Walters said no. Wilson argued. They were on their third helping of chicken before Walters reluc- tantly agreed to turn pitcher, but only on the condition that if he failed. he would get another shot at third base.
 Tough Start
 Most of you know the trials and tribulations of Walters as pitch CT. His first start was against the Reds and Larry McPhail. who was running the Cincinnati's at that time, came down from the stands to demand that Wilson remove Walters before the pitcher killed a bath of Brooklyn players.
 Through the season opposing players ribbed Walters unmerciful- ly and the fans jeered and booed. But he kept at it-worked as few pitchers have-for three ordinary seasons.
 Tn the middle of the 1888 season he was traded to the Reds and was ready to take his place as great pitcher. He won 27 games last year and 22 this year.
 Today Bucky will have as his catcher the man who started him of on the road to success. The aging Wilson, until a few weeks ago thought he was through as c0m- petitof. But the death of Willard
