Riddle Of Reds CIinches 'Pitcher Of 7he Year" Homo
Now That He Has Answer, Hitters Can't Solve Riddle
Reds New Ace Wcs With Six Clubs in 1899
By HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Sports Editor

New York, July 1s.- Elmer Ray Riddle, current pitching phencn- encn of the majors, was with no fewer than a half dozen clubs as re- gently as two years ago.
 That would indicate that noe body was exactly crazy about the new ace of the Cincinnatis.
 Elmer Riddle was credited with winning only one game for the world champion Reds in 1a4O. He dropped two. He was repulsed by the Cardinals in his only start.
 Offhand you wouldn't expect @ pitcher with a record like that to be gunning for his 11th straight victory without a reverse with the season half completed, but there he Is.
 William Boyd McKechnie wasn't fooled by the averages, especially with Riddle having an earned run mark of 1.85 in IS appearances, IA of them as relief worker.
 Riddle, a soft-spoken Georgian, learned by observation. He really had a pair to watch in William Henry Walters and Paul Der- ringer.
 Deacon Bil McKechnie wasn't surprised when Riddle didn't give the opposition a single run in spring exhibition games.
 The M-year-old right-hander completed the sale of himself to his manager when he shut out the hard-hitting Red Sox for eight innings in Columbus, Ga, before home town admirers aug mented by 16,00O soldiers from nearby Fort Benning.
 RIDDLE HELPS HIMSELF FIELDING AND HITTING
 Riddle picked up three victories as a fireman before Bill McKechnie started him. Tn the five appear ar1ces prior to his bid for his 11th triumph, there was no occasion to confer about taking him out.
 He had defeated every rival outfit save Pittsburgh, whipped St. Louis, New York, Chicago and Boston twice. His ninth victory was a three-hit shutout of the Cardinals, who wasted Lon Warn eke, Spud Krist and Harry Gum bert in an effort to stop his streak. He whitewashed the Braves with five hits for his 10th. He re- pelled the Dodgers with six hits, Al.
 Riddle didn't pitch until he was graduated from high school in 1885.
 He played second base until he attempted to fool batters for an amateur club in Columbus. This accounts for his being one of the more skillful fielding pitchers and batter who helps himself by smacking the ball for magnificent distances.
 Riddle had good stuff from the outset. Confidence came with con- trol. He has the noxie that en- abled him to score eight straight knockouts as an amateur boxer.
 The boys first contact with base ball came as @ bat boy for his fathers amateur team in Columbus. His brother, Johnny, 10 years older, was the catcher. Johnny, for years in the American Association, is now

HOLY CROSS PITCHER
 TWIRLS NO=HITTER

Burlington, Vt, July 18 = (U.P.) Ford, Holy Cross College southpaw, pitched a no-hit, no-run game for the Rutland Royals against the Burlington Cardinals in a northern semi-pro league game yesterday.
 The giant Ford allowed only one batter to reach first base-on a walk-and famed II, seven in suc- cession, with a sharp-breaking curve and fast drop. The Royals won, 40.

 Ernie Lombardi compares Riddle with Bucky Walters,
 He throws Walters heavy ball, which isn't easily hit for home run," says Schnozzle Lombardi. He has Bucky's live fast ball and sink CT. His pitch does something at the last second and consequently sell dom gets into trouble. It's ahead of the batter"
 Having found the answer himself Elmer Riddle puts the problem di- rectly up to the hitter.

the Reds third string backstop.
 Riddle is Scotch-Irish and as powerful as a man standing 5 feet Il and weighing 172 pounds could possibly be. He is the very antithesis of the flctional pop-off, Elmer the Great.
 He is a quiet chap who keeps things to himself. An attack of boils kept him from pitching in Brooklyn this trip. He couldn't screen one on his neck, but Me- Kechnie had to find out for him. self that his find also had one on his left forearm.
 WILSON TAUGHT RIDDLE
 TO BE MORE DELIBERATE
 Riddle credits Jimmy Wilson, who coached the Cincinnatis before mov- ing to Chicago as manager, with much of his success.
 Nervousness and anxiousness made me pitch too fast" he ex- plains. Wilson made me bring my leg up, put more motion into the pitch and get my body behind it.
 "A pitcher tires and there is a tendency to grow careless when he works too rapidly. Wilson kept after me until I got into the habit of wiping my forehead and picking up the resin bag. Hank Gowdy re- minds me to slow down now"

To Work Extra
Hour Saturdays

Courthouse employees may wind
up under the new state closing Law
with an extra hour OF work in
stead Of shorter hours, 1t developed
at a session Of the county COM
missioners Tuesday afternoon, but
they'll get some consolation this
weekend when most OF the offices
take a two-day extra vacation.
Only skeleton crews in fee Of
fices will work Saturday after
Memorial day, which will be a holi-
day for all.
The sad story Of the new law
was read to the commissioners by
County Civil Attorney Gilbert z.
Peterson, who said he could find
nothing mandatory in IT except
that offices must be kept open I'M
Ill 1 o'clock Saturday. For years
they have closed at noon.
Under the legislatures act, he
said, elective officials can set the
working hours for their own de-
partments within the bounds of
keeping offices open from / to s
through nine months of the year
and s to in the summer. Peter
son said he was convinced the law
did not confer a seven-hour day
on any courthouse employee.
The commissioners agreed with
city officials that in the face Of
lengthening hours in industry dur
ing the national emergency, 1t
would i'll become county offices to
go on shorter hours.
Any cutting Of hours by elective
officials in their own departments
may begin June /.
