THURSDa 2 SEPTE BER 2 . 1929 Tigers Won Two; air Now Needed To Clinch Pennant WHITE SOX VICTIMS OF INDIANS DOWNED, BROWNS: YANKS’ GAME WASHED OUT: REDS SPLIT TWIN BILL WITH CARDS (By Associated Prens) NEW YORK, Sept. 26—De- troit Tigers’ doubleheader victory over the Chicago White Sox y terday them a “big push’ their drive to clinch the American League flag. Another win will assure them of at least a tie for the pennant and a pair of triumphs will settle the issue in their favor. Detroit and their morrow who were have six schedule only on gave a in Cleveland begin last three-game series to- New York Yankees, ned out yesterday, more contests on their Even if the Tigers win of the games with the Indians, New York will have to sweep the half-dozen remaining contests to pull up even with the leading Bengals. There is a pos- sibility that other Yankee games will be rained out, which will defeat the New Yorkers’ drive to the top. All games not played before the end of the season can- not be made up. Buck Newsom was the hero of the double Tiger victory over the Chisox. His two-inning relief hurling in the opener kept the opposition in check as his team- mates won the fracas in the tenth, 10-9. He twirled the full nine innings of the nightcap, 3-2, scattering eight hits and striking: ;, ‘different temperaments out seven batters. Rudy York’s hitting in both ends of the twin bill provided the necessary punch for victory wsom registered his 20th and t wins. Cleveland Indians hung on tv their slim hopes by downing the St. Louis Browns, 4-2. Kennedy's momentary loss of control in the fourth inning, enabling the Tribe to score a trio of runs, was the turning point of the contest. Al Milnar scattered the Brownies’ six hits in gaining his 16th tri- umph of the yea Gene Thompson's two-hitter in the opening eontest of a double- header handcuffed the St. Loyis Cardinals, 5-0, for the champion Cincinnati Reds.

THE DEACON, A MILD MAN IS HE, BUT HE KEEPS THOSE REDS ON 60 McKechnie’s To Get Most Out Of Various Temperaments By JOHN FRYE AP Feature Service Writer CINCINNATI, Sept. 26—The man behind it all—meaning the second straight National League pennant for the Cincinnati Reds a 53-year-old church dea- con, bird dog fancier, and family man. Name of William Boyd McKechnie. When the Reds lost a game, the Vine Street Managers As: ciation gives him a critical anal- ysis that you couldn't print here and that’s not because the crit- a star chamber ical session is meeting. But when the Reds win one or two or three or a half dozen or a pennant, the VSMA, with mem- bers from the low-water edge the Ohio River clear up to Day- ton, resounds with cries of “I told you so. The greatest guy since John McGra George Stallings. or Pat Moran”. Hard To Ruffle The Deacon sheds both sides of the argument like a barn roof shedding rain. His main interest is to keep his baseball machine going at top speed, to keep 25 athletes happy and active, and to stay out ahead of seven other clubs. If somebody doesn’t like his methods, that guy can talk his head off. If it’s the other way around, that’s OK too. McKechnie’s real function with the Cincinnati Reds is getting the utmost in team play out of the 2 on the ball field. With that achieved, the ball game will take care of it- self. Bill tries to build up th¢ self- confidence of each player until the player knows that he can fill his job perfectly. Bill's criticisms always are ac- companied by a pat on the back. But he seeks out a man’s strong points and plays up to them Bill Just Whispers For instance, if a player for some reason just can’t catch sig- nals, Bill doesn’t hound him un- til the guy spends more time watching for the flashes than for the ball. Instead, Bill just whispers what he wants in the fellow’s ear. Then the player can go ahead without wondering whether he’s obeying orders. Bill has a place for sentiment, of course, but it’s at home with the family.

Hoi 1 re) Real Job Is WHERE'S ELMER? Reds’ Riddle Has ‘Stat? HE'LL BE ALONG By JOHN FRYE AP Feature Service Writer CINCINNATI, Sept. 26—El- mer Riddle is a 2: ar-old Geor- gian who bought his foiks a sub- Cincinnati paper when the Reds brought him up from Birmingham this spring to see if he could pitch in the big show. He has been used as a relief thrower and has shown consid- erable stuff, though he’s admit- tedly not ready for heavy duty yet. Manager Bill McKechnie holds high hopes Yor the boy. scription to a AGING JIM TURNER VALUABLE TO REDS Jim Turner’s control and fire- cracker curves make him the man of the hour when Bill Mc- Kechnie’s Reds need a game and Paul Derringer, Bucky Walters and Gene Thompson are double- headered to death. The former Boston hurler came to the Reds on a trade for First Baseman Les Scarsella, now in the International league. CALM THOMPSON LICKS JINX Gene Thompson, a big- calm II- linois boy who almost missed a baseba]l career because of an at- tack of home-sickness, is a main- stay of Deacon William McKech- nie’s Cincinnati pitching staff. Gene had a pretty good year as a 1939 rookie but everybody said look out for the sophomore jinx. It hit him, all right, in the form of some close defeats, but he worried little and went ahead throwing the same kind of balls to come out with a sizable win- ning average. OLD-TIMER GUISE SHOWS MUCH STUFF Eyebrows raised and folks said, “Is that right?” when the Cincinnati Reds brought up 32- year-old Witt Guise from Colum- bia in the Sally League late in the season. But Vitt. known variously as “Big Ears” and “Half-Witt”, has been around professional baseball for 10 years and despite his age has plenty of stuff. His first effort as a relief pitch- er had the St. Louis Cards break- ing their back for four innings. Today's Birthdavs Irving Bacheller, noted novel- ist, born at Pierpont, N. Y., 81 years ago.

Then they asked waivers. The Cincinnati Reds’ front of- fice snapped him up late in the season. He promptiy supplied hits and capable fielding and may have solved the problem long presented by left field, which has cost the Reds upwards of $150,000 in three years. Mike McCormick Slugging Speedster CINCINNATI, Sept. 26.—The other half of the McCormick boys on the Cincinnati Reds is Mike, 23-year-old rookie brought up from Indianarolis to helo the team out of its outfield difficul- ties. Mike, no relation to firsi-base- man Frank. is likely to become a -300 slugger next vear. He's a ball hawk, too, and may give Harry Craft a battle for the 1941 centerfield job. He took over there while Harry was in a bat- ing slump this year. Reds’ Pitching Ace Fielding Whiz Too CINCINNATI, Sept. 26 Bucky Walters, the National most valuable player of 1939, started out this vear as if he was going to repeat for the Cincinnati Reds. He won his first nine games in a row. then stumbled four times before get- ting the tenth. Then he started another string but had to make four tri for his 16th. About half his defeats this year resulted from light hit- tine by his teammates. He’s a top-notch fielder. treated himself to an unassi: double-play on an attempted s rifice early in September. He of the Cincinnati Reds’ explosion, in the 1939 World Series with the New York Yankees, but the big‘ catcher made his mark again. It only took a few home runs and bee-line throws to second base to make people forget his swan dive, which wasn't his fault anyway. in 1946 Shoffner’s Coolness Big Help To Reds CINCINNATI, Sept. 26.—Mil- burn Shoffner is another demon- stration of Bill McKechnie’s faith in the men he used to work with in Boston. The Cincinnati Reds’ pulled Mil from the Bees late last season and the 35-year-old southpaw has been doing regular relief duty ever since. His ex- perience and cool head in the} jams have made him valuable in the pennant drive. He pitches with his head as much as his arm and the batter has to do some thinking on his own before swinging the timber. manager Lew Riggs, The Man Who Stays Around CINCINNATI. Sept. 26.—It’s common gossip around here that 30-year-old Lew Riggs could get a regular third-baseman’s job on any of the other seven teams in the National League—if Mana- cer Bill McKechnie of the Cin- cinnati Reds would let him go. Lew plays very little as Bill Werber’s understudy, but he’s getting paid handsomely jyst to be around in case. When Billy Myers was laid up. with a cut arm, many fans asked why Lew wasn't taught to play shortstop. He is a harder hitter than Eddie Joost. but McKechnie dces things the way he does them and Lew sticks around.

TRIPLES, TWO-BAGGERS AND GREAT CATCHES RE- CORDED Pepper’s Plumbers last night defeated the NavSta at Bayview! Park, 7 to 3, in an_ exhibition softball game.

His wife was painfully bruised in the back by a mis- Sile thrown by some kid en- gaged in a fight ip the rear of the stands. Mr. Maloney states he is an ardent softball fan and gladly pays admis- sion to see the games. How- ever, if the situation regard- ing the young boys, who make a general nuisance of themselves, is not corrected he will henceforth refrain from entering the grand- stands. He believes there are many other fans who concur® in this sentiment. lowed seven hits. Pipe-Fitters pounded the ball for 13 safeties. Kelly and George Solomon, of the NavSta, connected for a three- bagger each. J. Carbonell poled two two-baggers, and Armando Acevedo, McCarthy and Baker one each. Outstanding catches in the field were made by Kelly and Higgs. Cheta Baker, shortstop, playing for the first time against his for- mer teammates, “talked up” a good game for his club. At bat, he struck out on his initial ap- pearance, slammed a two-bagger, walked, poled a single and flied out to shortfielder. 584 541!
