The rain compelled both teams to oall ott their ays practice-. . By ALAN GOIXD ( Associated Press Sports Editor.) NEW YORK, Sept. 39. JPTno baseball clubs that were picked to finish third this year In their respec tive pennant races will start the bitf money battle tomorrow In the first all-New York aeries since Babe Ruth and John McGraw ended a spectacu lar three-year rivalry In 1033. On their way back to the top this year, by sharply contrasting but nevertheless effective methods, the Yankees and Giants not only upsot several barrels of baseball "dope" but hung up a flock of records. " lroiineroui Smwoh. AU signs point to baseball's most prosperous season since pro-depression days being climaxed by smashing all previous records for the, alee of the players' pool as well as for tha total Attendance and gats receipts. All rwerved seats at both the Yan kee stadium and Polo grounds have been sold. The stadium can accommodate 71.- 787 fans. Including soma 0,000 tan dees. The Polo grounds capacity la 61,868. If the scries goes no more than four Karnes, the aggregate receipts will be around $1,000,000, Including the $100,000 already lu the bank for the sale of radio rights. The general expectation is that It will take six games to reach a do ctslon, with Youkce power arrayed against a Giant defense that fea tures the great Carl llubbell. Tlayers Share 4-Gome (late. Tho players, as usual, share only Sn the first four games, mo that they will have no Incentive whatever to prolong the proceedings for the bene fit of the club owners. If the parks are Jammed, as expected, the com batant may split close to $40,000. the highest previous player pool was $410,000 for the ioJ8 series between the Cardinals and Yankees. Tho Yankees, that year, were In tho middle of a streak that now stands at 111 consecutive world series tri umphs. They will be bidding tor their 13th In a row against the icrewbnll pitching of llubbell, who closed the National league season with an unbroken string of 16 ftraight triumphs. The law of baseball averages fig ures to be operating against hot n itreuk, tomorrow, but the betting Is that the Yankee string la more likely to be broken than llubboll's, Whether Manager Joe McCarthy (leclden to send Vernon (Lefty) Gomee against llubbell In the opener or shifts to his right-handed ace. Char les Rufua (Red) Ruffing, the Giants will be favorites to make a victori ous atnrt on their own stamping ground. Pn-Mure on IhiMiell. The pressure will be on Hubbell, bu the ulnnder Oklahoma master of major lcngus baseball's most baffling delivery has borne up pretty well un der the burden thus far. There la less renBoii to figure that Hubbell will crack under the strain thau there Is to suppose that the Yan kees, a comparatively youthful out fit, will be "pressing" from their anx iety lo Justify the series odds In their favor. This writer favors the chance of the National league champions for the following reasons: (l) That 1U1 Schumacher and Kredrty Kursltnmons. with their "downers," will combine with the peerless llubbell to give the Giants more eonnintently effective hurling than any three men the Yan kees run send to the box; (3t That the Ymikee advnntnke of virtually 3o points in team hatting, over the sea son, !s misleading because It was compiled at the expense of "softer" pitching: t:) That the Giants' more resourceful and stradler defense make i for the comparative weak spots in the batting order; and (4) That Memphis mil Terry U more apt to have tho right managerial 'Jmiiche' than Buffalo Joe Mc Carthy, f nit iiler Ureal.. Theie are the "breaks" to consider In any reckoning of rival chances Be ft son performance, individually or collectively, cannot orbltrarily be taken at their face ralue. Any club with a pitcher of ihihbells cnlltwr enters a world series with pvelm logical edge. But there's no guarantee attached.

Both men started dropklcks as they came out of their corners, and the Identical tactics gave them a wholesome regard for each other's prowess. In that first round Moore landed the wttUop that decided the match. Belcastro was flipping him over backward with flying face ltfta. On the fifth trip over Moore un wound a kick while in mid-air which splashed Into the coast champion's face cartwheeling him heavily through the mpea onto tho floor outside. The Tallan came back daued, the two traded drop-kicks, and then Belcastro sidestepped Moore's lash ing feet, landed two kicks of bis own from behind, and pinned Moore with a body press The fall came In seven minutes but the action seem ed to have la ted an nour.
