TUESDAY, OCTOBER. 1. 1935 Sport Writer Picks "Hot" Cubs to Take Tigers in World Series YOUNG AGGRESSIVE CLUB GEARED HIGH FOR FINAL EFFORT Team More Like College Football Outfit Than Pro fessional Athletes War .neke Gives Mound Edge By ALAN' GOULD AMOrttilpd Press Hports Hflitor t DEHTOIT, Oct. 1. (AP) For three more or less debatable reasons, not necessarily confined to the baseball "dope ' or succu lent statistics, It la this writer's belief that the Chicago CUbs will beat the De troit Tigers In a I six - game world series. It Is fairly well known by now that the Cubs aro "hottest" team I In either major league, fresh from a 21 game winning streak ALAM COULD and booming to- first tha hlff ithnw tmtoer terrific Impetus. With their atreak ended, they may bo overdue for a reaction, but they didn't let down until they crushed the last re sistance of the celebrated gas house gang In St. Louis and knocked out the Incredible Deans. . Tciim icim(i High Secondly, Chicago has a remarkably young, aggressive club that Is geared for high speed. It's an outfit that might crack under presssure, but It didn't against tougher opposition than anything the American league could offer the Tigers, It has noth ing to lose and everything to gain by shooting the works. No worries about past performances or previous disappointments will beset this out fit. In abort, the Cubs act more like a college football team than an aggre gation of professional ball players. Their attitude. Is in marked contrast to that of the more experienced but lens agile Tigers. ' They will enter the scries with the same psychological hd vantage that swept the 1000 White Sox, the famous 'billons wonders." and the youthful 1010 Athlctlcsa to victory over the great Chicago Cubs of Prank Chance's day; that carried the miraculous Bos ton Bravca of 1014 to a sweep over tho Athletics, and marked the dra mutlc triumph of the 10H3 New York Giants, spurred on by Ulondy Itynn, over the Washington Senators. Cubs On Crest There's always an ultimate stumble, but the crest of a. winning wave is always a good spot and the Cubs are on it now. Tho Tlgerss were un able to break even in their last 36 games, winning 12 and losing 14. The Cubs won 23 or their last 20. Cochrane 'a crew may get caught In the rush unless it snaps back to mid-season form and drive. Finally, and to be more specific It's this writer s view that lanky Lonnle J vvr.rneKe, Arannasas nvni oi vno ceiO' brnted Schoolboy Rowe, will give the Cubs a pitching edee. Warneke was the best right-hander In either ma jor lengue at the finish. His seventh tinlght victory, a two-hit shutout of the Cardinals last week, was a mas terpiece, riowo hIko la a great "money" pitcher. Their opening duel should be one of tlw best in many years. Great Hume Town Team An even break for the Cuba In the two pn mcs here, Wed nesdny a nd Thursduy, would send them back to thrive on the roars of the home-town crowds at Wriuley Field for the neat three engagements. A greet home team, the Bruins might steam-roller the Tliiers in Chicago. All things ConMdercd. however, the warring forces srem likely to reuirn to De trint for a sixth game before the payoff. Laid end to end, the statistics do not shed a great deal of light on the rival priwpects. The Tigers have more Ions-range guns with hitters like Cochrane, Grhrlnger, Goslln and Orrrnerg. The Cub attack, led by the FMisntlonal Angle OAlan In the Jeadnff spot, features Herman, Llnd- atrom. Hartuett and Demaree. good enough to keep n onr-tlme batting king. C huck Klein on tie bench. Both clubs topped their lengues In all around hitting. The Tigers look to have more of a defensive than an offensive edge. The Cuhs have a superior outfield, how ver, and more capable reserves In pluvcr like Klein, Stanbaerk and EngttMh. N IlitckMons Rale High The best backstops In bsseball will esrrv a big share of th hui-Hon Oabhy Hartuett Is the cleanup clout rr for (ho Cur ns well as the driving force on t he field. He has had a wonderful year. Similarly, Manager Mickey Cochrane la the man behind the Tiger guns. The strain of leader ship haa not seemed to slow up his playing ahlllty or affect ht batting eye. A fighter of the old school, Cochrane is generally conceded to be the difference between a fourth-place club and a, two-time pennant winner.! Man for man. outside of Warneke and Rfiwe, tho pitching prospects are difficult to forecast. The Cubs will match Charley Root, Bill lee and Larry French ngnlnst Tommy Bridges. Klden Auker and Alvtn Crowder after the opening day's shooting Is over. The Tigf-r staff rfas an edge In world k ier'.es experience, as well as a fine astortment of eurves. But the Cub twlrlers have been "hotter" over the Jfsf month of campaigning, Ie, a freshman and a fast ball pitcher, may feel the pressure. French fscrs heavy fire from the southpaw hitlers in the Tiger lineup. Bridges and Auker, the latter with a purrllng underhand delivery, are only as good s their control. If they have it, they j may furnish the antidote for Chi- capo's impetuous charge. , Moundsmen XJ i s ' 'Jig. v x -""I w rowe t Lintky Lon Warueke will oppose I he Tiger in the first finite of the world Heries tomorrow.

FANDOM RANDOM By Dick Applegate Badminton seems to be coming Into Its own in southern Oregon.. For over a year there has been a thriving club In this city. Since about a year ago, when a group of Seattle and Portland players. In their way south, stopped over for an exhibition game here, which was attended by a group of Grants Pass sportsmen, there has been & rapidly growing club In the Cave City. Now a second club, to be known as the Medford Shulttle club, Is to be formed here to take care of the large number interested. Badminton is a great game, and an old one. We have never become pro ficient enough in it to permit our saying we play It at all, but we have watched some of the beat In the gime. Including Med ford's own Hamilton Law. Law la rated as the amateur champion of the aelfic coast, and according to Jess WIDard. the pro fessional champ, there Isn't an araa- vi f niii., i. highest kind of compliment, for he should know. In their exhibition games here last spring. Wills rd ad mitted that Ham pushed him harder than had anyone he had played since the professional tournament the win ter before. If Interest In the game progresses as rapidly here In the next year aa It has In the past, Medford will be one of the most active badminton cen ters on the coast, and with the effic ient officers on the Medford Badmin ton club. It is altogether possible that state, and possibly even coast, tour namenta will be played here In the future. Another game wo'd like to see take more of a popular -hold In Medford Is table tennis, the outgrowth of the old game of ping-pong. It Is mildly surprising the contempt with which this gamfc la regarded by many, most ly those who never participated In. nor saw a game. The game of ping pong, as lt name would imply, was something of a prissy affair. The ball was served directly over the net. and then amid shrieks of merriment, the game went on In high arcs, with enough time allowed between shot to go out and finish that last high ball. That's all changed now. The ball is no longer served over the net, but Into the table, and It must bounce over the net to be called In play. And he who would be a gosd table tennis player had best forget any Klssy leanings, for the game Is fast and furious. Seldom docs the ball clenr the net by more than a half inch, the parabola must be almost flat or the opponent will kill your offerings with sickening regularity, and the rapid click, click, click of bats sound like the rattling ot hail stones against a roof, it Is so swift. Fred Perry, the English tennis flash, learned hi tennis strategy on the tables. He was at first plng-potu champlon of England, then took uu table tennU. When In New York aev. era! years ago, to participate In table tennla tournamenta, his coordination of eye and hand was so obviously superb, that hundreds asked him to take up tennla. Which he did. with remarkable aucceaa. as you know. And you al&o know that very few would be so foolish sa to accuse Perry of being a sissy. A few years ago the men of Med ford got most of their athletic diver sion In talking about the football that was being played by someone else. Now they have badminton, table tennis and bowling, and of the three, bowling at the present time probably offers the most enjoyment to the most men through the winter months. There are between ISO and 200 men who are playing nearly every week at the Elka' club and at the Smokehouse alleys. None of the three games are re stricted to the males of the species, however. There are between 23 and 50 women who bowl regularly through out the winter, and their adroitness with the heavy balls Is surprising. About 50 women actively play bad I mlntrm alaui anrf I 1st n1 V. i..v of facilities that keeps them from getting Interested In table tennis. - So we find Medford coming more and more to the front In games that all can play. It's a healthy sign, and one to be encouraged. . PORTLAND, Oct. 1. (Jpf The position of manager of the Portland baseball club of the Pacific Coast league was more or less on the block today. Bill Clssell, second basemen and playing manager, said last night that negotiations were entirely off between him and Owner E. J. Sohefter over the 1P38 management. The salary, and also the extra stipend for his managerial duties, taken over in mid year, are in dispute, Clssell said.
