PAGE SIT MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, OCTOBER ji. 1939. Sport Graphs Billy Huleo iayi: Reds' Strategy On Dickey Will Be Criticized Yankees Win Second Game 4-0 on Pearson's Fine Pitching Baseball, eecond-guessera will cer tainly have a field day, perhapa for many jreara to coma, aa a reault ol that last half of the ninth Inning In New York'i Yankee itadium yes terday, when big Paul Derringer, Rede1 pitcher, choae to pltoh to Bill Dickey with one away and Yankees on tint and third. After Keller tripled, DIMagglo was Intentionally walked, and probably to per cent of the fana In the eta dlum expected Derringer to aleo pass Dickey, loading the basea on pur pose, to set the stage for a forceout at home or a double play. With the core tied at 1 to 1, the only run that mattered was that one on third base. I Apparently, however, Manager Bill McKechnle gave Derringer the algn to pitch to Dickey, and you know the result. Bill blasted a single to center and Keller crossed the plate with the winning tally. It la that strategy of McKeohnle's that will have the "experts" talking Aa It turned out. McKechnle went wrong, but nobody knowa what would have happened If Dickey had bean given a free ticket. Maybe Selkirk, the next hitter, would have broken up the game. Or Joe Gordon, fol lowing Selkirk, might have delivered the big blow. On the other hand, If Derringer had passed Dickey, clogging the socks, Selkirk might have foroed Keller at home or hit Into a double play. Or Gordon, If Selkirk had fail ed to bring In the run on third, might have failed, himself. There are any number of thlnga which might have happened had Dickey been walked. He wasn't, though, so It will never be known what might have been. There It no doubt that Man ager MrKechnle's strategy will be panned from here to there by many close observers of the gnme. They will point out that, by walking Dickey, thus loading tile bases, the Reds' Infield would have been In much better posi tion to cut off Keller at the plate on ground ball. It will be aid that, by filling the bases, the Reds' Infield would have had the opportunity of executing a double play at ANY two bnses, Instead of Just at second and first, the rase with Yankees on first and third. Another point which the seoond- ' guessem will not fall to bring up la the respective batting reputations of Dickey, Selkirk and Oordon. They will proclaim that McKechnle was Inane to let Derringer pitch to Dickey, one of the most dangerous "dutch" hitters In the majora. when Big Bill oould have beon.put on with no damage to get at Selkirk, a much less respected batsman, and Oordon. dangerous but not devastating. Personally, being a Cincinnati root er, we got In our own violent ours Ing of McKoehnia for not walking Dickey, but perhaps the Clncy man ager had his reasons. He must have had, for he la considered one of the smartest leaders In either loop. Per haps Derringer decided for himself that he wanted to pitch to Dickey. Dp to then Dickey was hltlees In three trips and maybe Derringer was confident ha could get the Yank catcher out of the way. Regardless of what went on be hind the scenes, the fact remains that pitching to Mr. nlrkey was a big nilstnke and McKechnle will he In for plenty of criticism. Not from us, though, now that we have cooled off and paid off, fnr who are we to question the strategy of a big league baseball manager CINCINNATI HELD TO TWO HITS BY CLEVERELBOWER Lombardi Spoils Hitless Hitless March in Eighth Yankee Batting Power Ex plodes in Third Inning Poison for Reds Congrata to Jackie Barr, who knock ed off BO bucka last week-end In that grld-guesslng business . , . and for those who would like to know how the operators of the football heet tab next week-end's games, here are some of their games: Ore gon spote Stanford fl, Oregon State epot Idaho 14, California and St Mary's are even, US.C. spots Wash ington State 10.

(AP) Olvlng one of the finest pitching exhibitions In world series history, Marcellus Monte Pear son held the Cincinnati Reda to two singles today to give tha New York Yankeea their second straight tri umph by a 4 to 0 score. Por seven and one-third Innings Pearson waa on hla way to the first no-hlt game ever pitched in base ball's highest spectacle, but (Ernie (Schnorxle) Lombardi stabbed a sharp liner directly over second base to break thla streak and In the ninth BUI Werber shot another bounder through shortstop for the Reda' sec ond safety. Ties Record Ivan so Pearson, who had a no hitter last year against the Cleve land Indiana on August 37, tied a aerlea record held by Herb Pennock since 1027 for going 7 1-8 consecutive Innings without yielding a hit. The Yankee power broke out In tha third Inning today for three runa on five hits off Bucky Walters and Babe Dahlgren sent a tremendous drive Into the left field stands In tha fourth for a home run that com pleted tha scoring. Thla early bombardment created such enthusiasm among tha erowd of 60,000 that tha full affect of Pearson's magnificent hurling waa not realized until along about the sixth frame when New York'a own guns had finally been silenced by Walters after producing at least one hit In every earlier Inning. Equals Record Pearson's performance waa the first series shutout since Lon Warneke of the Chicago Cubs stopped the Detroit Tigers g to 0 In the first game of the 1039 classic. Although tha record books show a ona-hlt game waa pitched by Ed Ruelbach of tha Chicago Cubs against tha Chicago White Sox In 1908. a check of the official score Immediately after today's game In dicated-there were two hits In th, contest and Pearson's great o'j equaled th best previous pitching performance.
