BOSTON, Aug. 3.-Nature was

blowing fuse when his Cincinnati
Reds compare what they fallaciously
term their batting average"
Hitters? Shucks, Deacon Will just

so deeply in the list of latest Ma

Kechnie would need a bloodhound

But the averages tell the awful

acquired not so many moons ago
from the st. Louis Cardinals ex-
tensive farm system. He's Furnishing
the ball-hold your breath-at q
.285 clip. The rest of the Reds
dwindle in hitting from there down
to a point where you think they're
talking about their collar sizes.
Life, however, has its compensa-
tions. In McKechnies case it's q
phlegmatic temperament, an ability
to suffer silently through days-such
as the Braves series just completed
when Cincinnati travels "a innings
without discovering that home plate
is cash register waiting to be rung.
The cash would come, of course,
II the Reds won the pennant. And
they could, too, If the hitters would
hit. For, you see, the pitchers pitch
so creditably that the Reds are in
third place.
Sometimes They Get Three Runs.
Once in awhile the Reds splurge
and stake their pitchers to one run,
once in a month Of Sundays two
runs and-bless their hearts-even
three runs. Then triumphantly they
tell pitching craftsman like Bucky
Walters, Ray Starr, Johnny Wander
Nicer and Paul Derringer to "go out
and hold 'em down." And the
hurlers do most of the time, too.
But, goodness gracious" Deacon
Will said mildly today, "it's a terrific
burden on the pitchers, asking them
to win without runs"
