The morale of the victims had been shattered by the defeat and the criticism and abuse that followed it. McKechnie himself was a victim of one of those debacles, losing his job when the Cardinals cracked in 1929 after the Yankees had flattened them in the fall of 28. But this time he had a stronger fibered bunch and they hammered back from the ragged edges of ruin. The Big Three Barring that one slump early in August, when Lombardi and Gene Thompson were out with injuries and the whole team rocked under the tragic fate of Hershberger, the Reds have given such a smooth performance that it is difficult to pick out this man or that and say that if it hadnt been for him, they wouldnt have rushed to another flag. But Ill cite three men without whom the Reds would have had much harder going: Lombardi, Joe Beggs and Bill Werber. Beggs case illustrates once more that a capable relief pitcher is indispensable in modern baseball. Those Eighteen Games McKechnie credits Beggs with saving at least eight games that do not appear in his record. Since his record was 10 victories and only two defeats, you can chalk up 18 games the Reds would not have won without him. Take those 18 games out of the victory column and put them on the other side of the ledger and the Reds would have been whistling for a pennant, much less a World series. Beggs has the two qualities that are most essential to a relief pitchControl and faith er, Bill said. In himself. A fellow moving in to check an enemy assault must be able to get the ball around the plate and must take no account of the odds against him. Beggs has wonderful control and I never saw a pitcher who, without being in the least conceited, never has the slightest doubt about himself. No Forgotten Man Del Baker, however, hasnt been forgotten in the rush. Early season dopesters had the Tigers resting in fourth place at the season's end. Many of the baseball-wis- e gentry had them fighting for top billing in the second division. How the Tigers managed to win a pennant still bafe fles most baseball players. The infield was slated to fold when the going got tough. York, Gehring-er- , Bartell and Higgins werent names to conjure with. But they did have the courage to carry on through days that meant real physical suffering on the ball field. It was a spot where experience made up for the lack of youth. That experience came very close to carrying the Tigers through to victory. Dozens of reasons have been advanced for the Reds victory. Some of them undoubtedly were contributing factors. But the principal reason for Cincinnatis grip on the world championship rests in the pitching arms of Paul Derringer and Bucky Walters. They helped prove that a cagy, capable pitching staff is more to be desired than an array of sluggers. Deacon Bill McKechnie is the authority for that statement. Three other men who should not be overlooked for their share in the Reds success are Joe Beggs, Lombardi and Bill Werber. While they werent outstanding in the series, their consistent work throughout the season made it possible for Cincinnati to compete for the crown and thats just as important. old-tim- Series Power House Sport Shorts Werber, this year as last, was the Georgia key man in the infield which, by the ,T'HE A Tech-Notr- way, made fewer errors than any in the league. Challengers in 1938, the Reds cracked in the infield and faded as the Cubs went on to win. Last year Werber, at third base, worked a startling improvement in their first line of defense, pulling it sharply together and holding it.

A Halloween party without decorations just isnt a party. They may be so simple that it takes very little time to put them up; pumpkins, cornstalks, and lighted Or you may decorate with witches, owls, black and orange crepe paper streamers, black and gray crepe paper moss dripping from the ceilings, or ghosts standing in spooky corners with eerie lights thrown upon them. The invitations should, of course, be indicative of the type of party you are giving. On Halloween the ghosts will dance, The gnomes and goblins will sing and prance; So don your masks and costumes gay. To the Haunted House be on your way.

Cincinnati called the turn by hitting at a better clip than the Tigers. That, plus superb pitching in the clinches, put the National league on top after a long span of desolation and sadness. The Reds were ripe for a series victory this year. The team paid no attention to the fact that it was beaten four straight by the Yankees in 1939. That fact alone was supposed to spell defeat. Instead of being disheartened, the Reds proved to be a better ball club than they were last year. Much of the credit goes to Bill McKechnie, one of the most popular managers of the present baseball era. 60-ce- nt Still Use Ice Farmers Build Despite widespread use of mechanfarmers spend between still American Americans ical refrigeration, consume 40,000,000 tons of ice annu- :;400,000,000 and $ 500, 000, 000 a year on new buildings and improvements. ally. f BILL McKECII.ME Eases Her Conscience A payment to the city conscience fund eased the mind former Pittsburgh of a middle-age- d woman.

SPEAKING OF damp hands clutching the BETTER BAKING Most of us are prone to be a little inactive and unambitious during the warm summer months. Our appetites for heavy, hot foods become dull and we readily accept and enjoy cool, refreshing salads and beverages. Just as we put on heavier clothing when the temperature drops, so do we discard using salads as the main dish and dessert of the menu.
