E FOR SOLON FOES Giants' Right Fielder Most Likely to Break Up World Series Games With Timely Hitting in Fourth Slot r$m$m" tainuw! lv s", By A I. AS fiOUI.D. Associated Prms BporU Killtor. HEW YORK, Sept. 37. (AP) SUCH shortcomings as the outfield of tne Glanls may have by comparison with tho slugging plckotmcn of the Sena tors are substan tially offset by the ability of Young Melvln Thomas Ott, the Louisiana Lar mper, to .break up the ball game. In neither stat ure nor person ality la the short, chunky right field guardian of the Giants to be compared with hla elderly pre decessor In the MEL OTT world series spot light, Babe Ruth. Ott will not strike the same terror that the Bambino has handed the opposition on a number of celebrated occasions, yet the 24-yenr-old Giant cleanup hitter stands forth ae the man moss llkjly to dy namite the Washington pitching de fense. Is Home Rim Hitler. Measured by home run production, Ott la the only outright slugger !n either championship lineup. This year he Is well below his own high mark of 1029, when he collected 42 homera, but Ott Is a "pull" hitter who carries a distinct threat on every trip to the plate. He has driven In more runs than any other outfielder In the World Series lineups and Is second only In this respect to Joe Cronln. the Wsshington shortstop and man ager. As most everyone knows, the Oiants aa a whole, are not a fence-busting crew. Relying mainly on defensive prowess, It Is a standing wise-crack to remark that a typical Giant bat ting rally consists Of a grounder off the third baseman's shins, one sacri fice, a misjudged fly and a hit by Manager Bill Terry or Ott. O'Doul Pinch Hitter. The outer trio of the National league champions, with Joe Moore In left field, George Davis In center and the redoubtable Ott In right, com pares favorably with any group of ball-hawks, but when more hitting la needed It will be necessary to aum mon "the man In the green suit," Prank (Lefty) O'Doul, OtthaaOilven In more runs than all the other Giant outfleldora combined. Torry now plana to use the agile, hustling Moore against all kinds of pitching, thereby discarding hla origi nal idea of atartlng Homer Peel against aouthpawa. Moore has so con sistently shown hli ability to hit In the plncbea that he' holds the left field Job until further notice. Senators Boast 3 Clouters. In contrast with the llghter-hlttlng Olant outfield, Washington will trot out three real clouters In Heinle Ma nush In left, Pred Bchulte In center, and Leon (Ooose) Goslln In right. The Senator combination has a 28 polnt advantage por man In the cur rent batting averages, with Manuah well toward the top of the list at .332. The advantage In the runa-battod-ln statistics Is not so marked, due to Ott'a auperlorlty In this spoclalty. The latest unofficial figures showed 271 "RBI" for the Senator outfielders and 242 for the Giants. . Manush and Goslln are former American league batting champions, but the colorful "Goose" no longer carried the slugging threat he did when he was breaking up ball games for the Senators In 1024 and 1025. Manush still ranka among the game's leading hitters, however, and has col lected more hits than any player In the American league this yoar and atands aecond only to Chuck Klein of the Phillies In the major league list. Bchulte la the only Washington out. . fielder with the speed of Moore and Davis. He waa a atar sprinter in his school days. 4 WILL REOPEN TONIGHT .

Portland error and the Angel' own Dick Ward have assured Los Angelea of Its first Const league pennant since 1026. The Angela won the aecond half of the 1030 split season, but were beaten in the play-off by Hollywood.

Portland eliminated Itself by booting away Its serlea opener with Seattle, 5-8. Catcher Cronln backed Ward up with a, fluke ninth Inning homer that scored two runners ahead of him. Oene LIUard, Angel third aacker, also hit for the circuit aa hla mates pound ed Jimmy ZInn for 16 blows. . Needing victories In all nine of their games this week for a chance fro tie Los Angelea, the Beavers made five errors to give the last-place In diana the game.

If Ben Cantwell had remained with the New York Giants, the club which first brought him up to the National league, he might now be figuring prominently In the world series "dope," Instead, he was traded to the Bos ton Braves in his second year of big league service, and, tolled there with out much success until he suddenly burst forth this season as one of the league'a outstanding' hurlera. The tall, lean, righthander, who had pass ed the .800 mark only once befoie in his career In tn majors and then with four victories and three defeats, was right at the top of the list today with 20 games won and nine lost. Cantwell chalked up victory num ber 30 yesterday at the- expense of the champion Qlants, beating them for the fourth time this year, J5 to 3. He was the third hurler In the league to reach that mark. The others were the Giants' outhpaw star, Carl Hub- bell, and young 'Dizzy" Dean of St. Louis. The victory preserved Boston's chancea of finishing In the first di vision. By winning their two re maining games, thev can . pass the St. Ixrtils Cardinals if the Cards lose their last two. The Phillies and the Brooklyn Dodgers, seventh and sixth respec tively in the National league, and with no chance of going higher,; played the only other big league game, j The Phils, closing their home season with an exciting ninth inning rally, won 3 to 2, and made It a little more certain that they will finish ahead of the cellar dwelling Cincinnati Reds.

Sharkey goes into the ring with about a 10-pound weight edge, scal ing in the neighborhood of 200 pounds to Loughran's 100, Sharkey rulea the money favorite with the bettors. E TUSSLE SATURDAY E WASHINGTON j (AP) "General" Alvln Crowder asked Manager Joe Cronln last aprlng at training camp In Blloil to let him pitch the first game of the world series. And he wasn't fooling The "General'' was In the regular army, first In Siberia and later In the Philippines, where he started play ing baseball. He took up the game because he noticed that the aoldlers who belonged to regimental baseball teams were excused from many weary houra of drilling and "K. P." duty. First he thought he was a ahortstop. but was such a fizzle that he started pitching. When hla outfit returned to San Francisco, that club algned him only to let him go. His home town club of winston-Salem In the Piedmont league, however, gave him a trial and he did so well that Rochester bought him. He finished the season In the East- cm loague, then pitched for Blrmlng- hsnv in 1025 and 1926. Washington bought him In '26, but the next year he developed atomach trouble and was traded to St. Louis. Washington regained him In 1030 along with Heinle Manush In a trade whereby Goose Goslln went to the Browns. Last year the "General" led the American league pltchera with 26 vic tories, finishing the season with 13 straight wins. He Is a horse for work and la will ing to pitch three games a week. "Gimme the ball Crowder" his team mates have dubbed him thla year, aa he haa again led the league In pitch ing. , Crowder Is a native of North Caro lina, Is 32 years old and weighs 176 pounds. He stands five feet, 10 inches, throws right and bats left. ' The Medford high school footbsll team, will make Its first appearance of the season against 'the Weed, Calif, high school next Saturday.

The Burghermelsters have been drilling for a week, and are Just get ting the klnka out. Most of the playera are Inexperienced but "make up for this with enthusiasm and willingness."
