baseball clubs that were picked to
finish third this year In their respec

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

DISSATISFIED DIZZY
OKLAHOMA CITY. Sept. 29. (AP)
Tall, talkative "Dizzy" Dean drawled
today that he will be the first 1937
holdout, that the Yanks will win the
world series and that the Cardinals
have too many "bush leaguers" on
the team.
The tnmpersmental St. Louis hurler
exploded with a bsng at the first
question and rattled right on from
there
1. About the holdout business:
"No matter what they have on their
contract, I'm not satisfied.
"They'll r v do better by
guy who pitched his arm off trying
to get them In the world series than
I think they're going to do."
2. About the world scries:
"The third best hall club In tho
National league will play the New
York Yankees in the world series. The
Cardinals and the Cubs are better
than the Giants.
"And I think the Yankees will
beat them."
3. About the Card Insist
"Well, If we weren't going to win the
pennant. I'm glad It waa this way,
where we weren't carried right up to
the last day of the season. Injuries
beat tts, even If we are bunch of
bush leaguers except for four guys."
(Dean didn't name the four but at
Wichita, Kaa., yesterday he satci Leo

tho battle to Chick on a foul after
each had taken a fall.
Wolfe took the first with a flgure-4

on a bottoms-up after a rocking
chair awing. He unveiled his new

eye-gouging, pulling hair, and slug

Jumped on Chick from behind and
clamped the Chick innards in a
hook, but the cowpuncher had seen
that grip once, and stopped It cold
by diving over backwards on top of
the Texan, knocking the breeze out
of him for th'i count.
In the third frame Wolfe insisted
on rabbit punching and slugging his
opponent whiie holding him In a
fXMwiiocku Referee Friable brok the
attack up four times, and on the
fifth Wolfe made the bad tactical
error of clouting the big ar niter,
Frlsble raised Chick's hand and the
party was over
The middle event waa easily the
best match on the card, with the
air full of flying drop-kicks, and
the ringside strewn with the wieck-
ago as Gene Moore defeated Pete
Belcastro wltr Belcastro's own pet
weapon. 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.
The Leathi' Latin turned meanle
In the second round, pulling Moore's
fingers and gmglng his eyes. When
his opponent doubled his fists to
retaliate Belcuitro fled outside the
rln. Standi n,; on the apron, he got
another terrlf'c kick, to tho stomach.!
and landed on his head on tho floor
ngaln. As he crawled back up and
was standing on the apron holding
the top rope Moore landed again,
this time knocking Belcastro Lck
wards into tho second row of ring
side seats. Belcastro could not return
for the count, nor for . the next
round.
Prince Mlhalakia unveiled a new

Burns took the next with a ham
