NEW YORK, May -. up -
Deacon Will McKechnie, the spare
Scot who ranks as one of baseball'S
charter wizards and pioneer minds,
INDUCED himself today in the lux
ury of one of his rare but beatific
smiles after fumbling about longer
than glamor boy reaching for a
check, the Cincinnati Reds finally
have hauled themselves over the
hump.
The ultimate destination of the
Reds in the 1912 pennant race is
not Immediately apparent but on
this second Wednesday of May the
boys from beautiful Ohio have shak-
en- free Of the second division. Prim-
ed by eight triumphs in 10 games,
the Reds have taken sole possession
OF bracket No. and show every
indication of continuing the climb.
Deacon Will probably would be
reluctant to admit it, but the fact
behind the Reds resurrection is a
simple one. Cincinnati's slow but
steady comeback is attributable
neither to strategy nor to science.
1t is the product of the ability of
certain young and not so young men
20 throw ball fast and to throw it
with a modest measure of deception.
TAKES NO CREDIT
The phrase isn't exactly a new
one and I take no credit for its
coinage, but let's just say that as
gees the pitching, SO goes Cincin-
natl. AS long as Deacon Wills group
Of throWers retain their skill at
cutting corners the Reds win. But
when the pitchers begin faltering,
even ever 50 slightly, all is gloom

the Cincinnati Reds handed them
a 81 defeat in opening the season S
second set OF intersectional games
against invading western clubs. But
the Giants knocked off Second-place
Pittsburgh, 7-3, to maintain the
D0dger margin.
Thomps0n's performance was the
second one-hit game OF the season,
Bobo Newsom hurting the other for

American league, May 6.
RIGGS HITS ONE
a double by Pinch Lew
Riggs was the only blow Thompson
gave up as his mates tapped four
Dodger hurlers for 10, OF which
Junior himself collected a pair. Ray
Lamanno also hit two, including Q
homer.
Cliff Melton held Pittsburgh to
seven hits and contributed two hits,
two runs, a putout and five assists
70 lead the Giants to their victory
over the Pirates. The Giants knocked
Ken Heintzelman out of the box
in the third and continued on John
ny landing for a total of II safeties.
The Philadelphia Pills - with
Frank Hoerst pitching his third
triumph of the season-knocked the
St. Louis Cards out of the first
division with a 80 victory. Hoerst
allowed six blows as his mates
punched an equal number to win.
Chicago was outhit by Boston but
the Cubs punched their blows to
score a 9-8 decision The Cubs

SPORTS PARADE:

in the beer taverns Of the home
land.
For instance, the Reds played eight
games this season before a start
ing pitcher managed to win. The
gentleman in question was Johnny
Wander Nicer and the date was
April %. This feat proved a singu-
lar one. Overcome by the rarity OF
such a demonstration, the Reds
were unable to match it until May
l. Thus, only one starting pitcher
was able to win in Is straight con-
tests.
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1942-05-13
LOST 10

At the Is game mark in the race,
the Reds were helpless and hopeless.
They had won but five while losing
10. And, contrary to tradition, they
weren't blowing the duke by one
run. They were being beaten by
two runs or five runs or four runs.
Then, suddenly, the pitchers began
finding their mark. Starting on
May /, Cincinnati defense suddenly
frightened.
In the 10 games played since that
date eight pitchers have opened a
game. finished that game and won
it, The performances reached a
peak on Sunday and yesterday when
Ray Starr BANKED st. Louis, 10;
Bucky Walters shut out the same
team in the second half Of a double
bill, 80, allowing only four hits
and Junior Thompson let down
Brooklyn with one hit, 81.
The reason the Deacon broke out
with his smile today was that the
three sparkling triumphs were at
tanned against the leagues two sup
pcsedly strongest teams-the Cardi-
nails and the Dodgers. If McKech-
MES boys can blow over these power
laden babies, they don't figure &c
