(Associated Press Sports F.illtor) NEW YORK. Sept. 24. ( AP) Tho mora or less nerve-wracking; ap proach of the New York CilanU to the world series with the neighbor ing Yankees finds tho drnmatlc out look somewhat reminiscent of tho last of three baseball wars fought out on opposite banks of the Harlem river In 1023. Instead of the battle of wits be tween the most famous of all mpster minds, John Joseph McOraw, and the greatest of all sluggers, Babo Ruth, this year's affray finds a pupil of tho old master. William Harold Terry, devising strategy to meet the slugging ensemble led by Larruping ixu Oehrlg, the new home run king. Terry Green Then. Terry and his Infield mate. Travis Oalvln Jackson, were just two young fellows being ripened for regular duty when tho last "subway scries" wan played, Jackson plnch-hlt against Herb Pennock one afternoon, but otherwise he and Terry were Just so much background In a series that saw Ruth and Company blast their way to triumph after two successive setbacks In 1021-22. The complete shift In regular play ing casts since those glamorous days has not been accompanied, however, by much alteration In rival mothods. The Yankees, with Joo McCarthy di recting maneuvors from tho bonch as the lato Miller Hugglns did, still opo rate on the theory that a home run Is the best strategy. They have broken all records for circuit clouting this year with Gehrig setting the pace for a new batting order that wings from the heels, from top to bottom. Olanls Walt flrcnks. The Giants, possessing a brand of power that fades somewhat by com parison, mill play "McClraw base hsll." They aim for the breaks, fea ture . tight defense, and rely upon the resources of a pitching staff hssded by the great Carl Hubbell. Under Terry's scheme of operation. Uuhbcll occupies much the snmo role the talented Art Nehf did tor Mc Oraw. Both rank with the great Rouihpaws of post-war days. Hubbell. jated off his marvoloua 1030 season, belongs among the all-time flinging craftsmen. It remains to be seen whether one Irreat moundsman can carry the (Hants to victory In the world scries. Firrpt for the veteran knuckle-baller, Freddy Pltrslmmons, the National leaguers have no other pitcher who now apneara capable of giving the celebrated exponent of the screwball knuch support. The presence of Hubbell In the box. however, will make the Ulants favor. Stoa for the opener next Wednesday t the Polo arounrts.

"MICDFCRD MAIL Will Be EBERHART FINDS FOR SONS SQUAD Enough Candidates for Three Full Teams Answers First Grid Call Seven Letter men Are Back in Fold ASHLAND, Sept. 34 (Spl.) Three full teams of husky grid talent ans wered Coach Jean Ebcrh art's call to arnts Monday as Southern Oregon Normal's SONS oficialty opened their 1030 practice schedule. With the start of school Monday, Eberhart't squad was Increaaed by al most & full eleven, giving the SONS, In direct contrast to last year, plenty of good reserve strength. Returning for their second year under tho foimor university of Ore gon basketball star, are seven letter men, Arba Afler, tiny halfback from Portland; Hedrlch B.iUKhman, for mor Ashland high center; Everett Sandberg, center from Reedaport; Porcy Williamson, lanky end from Hayward, California; Justin Carey, Cc.qi.ilUa, tankle; Bob miewnbrrv, t)imrterhack irom Cottage Grove and Clyde 'Tubby" Dickinson, a full back let term an of two years ago. Along with the above letter win ner of last year's fairly successful team are high school stars from al most every point In Oregon. Jim ; MeBrlde, a 192-pound, slx-foot-tNvo i end from Franklin high of Portland Is one of the most promising of the lot. . Another player, who according to Ebonhart will bear watching, Is Ken Schilling, last year's Ashland hlgh-co-captain, Because of Ills rather small size for an end, Eberhart has been working him at one of tho wide noon halfback jobs. In the entire squad's opening work out Monday, Eberhart has two teams going through dummy drill at each other for over an hour. Lining up ior me iirsc eleven, which may be a fairly accurate criterion of the starling team October 3. were Law rence Kaiser, and McBrlde at the ends; Walter Suther, 193, from Gien- dale and Bob Napier, 192, from Klam ath Palls at the tackle; Van Diver and McNceley at tho guards and lettorman Everett Sandberg at cen ter. The bacltfield was composed of Cornett, quatterback; Arba Ager and Hairy Skjcrs.m, from Bend, half backs; and Dickinson at full On tho second team were BcH and Bushnell at tho ends; Jack Rhodes and the hugu 203-pound Harry John son from Kugene at the tackles: Ronald Welghbrlght, former Ashland hlh, and Rutland at the guards and uaughmau, center. Back of that line weie Boh Di.esenberry, qumterback; Ken Schilling and Allen Esselstrom from Heedsvort, halves: and Al Simpson, Eureka. California, at full. The SONS this yc.xr will follow the same colorful system of attack they employed lost season. In addition to the backflelrt shift, Eberhart will have 'his entire line with the excep tion of the center hop step into In tricate formations. Although it Is to early to make predictions, It ap pears that Arba Ager will take care of tho throwing end of the SONS aerial attack, and Cornett tho kicking end. Join ETHELWYN B. HOFFMANN'S .

Reminiscent Of WOLFE UNDAUNTED BY PROSPECT OF FLIGHT Les Wolfe, the falr-h aired boy of the wrestling game who turned bad man two weeks ego against Prince Mlhalakls, still hat a touching faith in his flgure-4 hook scissors, the one grip that he possesses which is con sidered dangerous. The Texan clashes with big Dude Chick In the main event at the Armory Monday night, and he announced today that Chick's spin holds no terrors for him for the simple reason that Chick won't be able to hoist him for the lust long ride. "My hook scissors Is a better hold than Chick's spin because I can put it on from any position," Wolfe said today. He Intimated that he would grab the big cowpoke wltb the grip at the start of the match and squeeze his Insldes out of shape so effectively that Chick won't be able to spin a good yarn when he gets through. Medford rlngalders won't resent this, but will undoubtedly relish the out come of the battle, which seems sure to end with Wolfe on the mat woozlly attempting to breathe after a hearty spin. Pete Bclcastro, In the battle of dropklcks which will mark the middle event, Is still given the edge over Gene Moore. Monday Moore flattened Pat O'Brien with, one lusty kick, but had no opportunity to display his other talents, while Belcastro Is known to be master of a dozen or more dangerous clamps. If the new comer Is as good at other grips as he Is at the dropklck. the battle should be far above average. A new meanle makes his debut In the opening tusle, but until he dis plays the brand of rascality of which he is capable fans will probably string along with Prince Mlhalakls. his opponent for the match. The newcomer Is Billy Burns, Jackanapes from Atlanta, Ga. 10 TROJAN CLASH COFvVALLIS, Ore., Sept. 24.
