Meets Prince in Opener
Tonight Is the night that Les Wolfe

two battles with Prince Wlhalakls.
faces Dude Chick In the main event
wrestling match at tne Armory, for
what many believe will be his debut
Into the loss column In Medford
Wolfe, despite the knavery that turn
ed hundreds of fans against him, may
till boast backers, an Informal sur
vey over the week-end disclosed.
The flgure-4 book scissors with
which the Texan has downed a dozen
or more victims, is still believed by
some to be effective enough to stop
the big cowhand, and thero are a few
who believe that grip Is the best ever
seen here, In contrast to the majority
holding that Chick's spin deserves tne
honors.
This much remains certain: The two
have the longest victory records In
Medford. To date Chick has not been
hurt by any grip applied to him, and
he has downed encn opponont with
almost monotonous regularity. The as
sumption that he will oblige Wolfe
with the same treatment has swelled
advance ticket sales to near record
heights.
The middle event, the first meeting
here of two drop-kick specialists, is
stealing much of the main event's
thunder, with Pete Belcastro, Pacific
coast Junior hoavywelght champion,
firing his number tens at the hand
some features of dene Moore. The
drop-kick is usually conceded to be
the most spectacular attack In wrest
ling, and when two advocates meet,
the results arc. expected to be revolu
tionary. Belcastro won the coast crown
largely through the effectiveness of
his leg thrusts, and Medford fans
have scan him down foe after foo
with the attack. Last Monday they
saw Moore unwind Just one lusty kick
to finish Pat O'Brien. What other
tricks Moore poasosses remain to be
seen, for he had no chance to wrostle
that evonlng.
A new blood-and-thunder meanie
makes his bow to Medford tn tho
opener, when Ullly Burns, of Atlanta,
Georgia, tries to flay Prince Mlhalakls
of Arabia. Not much Is known of
Burns other than reports that he la
big, tough, and with an antipathy tn
tloan grappling. Tho Arab may aban.
don tho clean tactics that lost his
two Wolfe matches, and go berserk.
As he has on one or two piovlous oc
casions. The bouts start at 8:30.

Fans Expect Hubbell to Stop
Yankees in Opener
Yanks Tops in Betting
for Balance of Series
By Sid Feder
Associated press Sports Writer.
NEW YORK. Sept. 38-(AP) The
opening shots on the world series
were- fired from the rival camps of
the Giants and Yankeea today, while
the front offlcea dust off the "sold
cut" signs for reserved seat tickets.
The Yankeea came right out and
picked themselves and their batting
power to take the aeries, starting
Wednesday, tn five games.
Bill Terry announced bis probable
starting lineup and put himself on
record as backing his. Giants to fin
ish on top because of the old, old,
baseball theory that good pitching
can silence heavy hitting any time.
The Yankees will entertain the
third, fourth and fifth games, sched
uled for Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, In their stadium on the opposite
bank of the Harlem river.
Terry Cites Pitching
Xn his pre-battle statement, Terry
named bis Olants for their "excep
tional pitching," overlooking the
Broadway betting odds of 11 to 20.

ites, and the fact that bis number
two pitcher, fat Freddy Fltzslmmons,
looked in anything but championship
form In the season's finale yesterday.
Terry also made It known that he's
starting himself at first base in the
opening game, which "King Carol"
Hubbell la expected to pitch. The
rest of bla lineup will be unchanged.
Yank pitcher Unchosen
Manager Joe McCarthy, returning
from Washington, let no one In on
bra starting lineup. Although the
regular eight men will undoubtedly
take the field as they have all season,
the pitching problem Is still up in
the air. However, It was believed
El Senor Goofy" will have the call
over big Red Ruffing to go against
Hubbell In the first game.
Although the Yanks were favorites
In every book, betting skyrocketed.
Hubbell and the Olants were lifted
to stop stop the Yanks In the opener,
but that was the only bet on which'
the National leaguers were tops.
