HUBBELL YIELDS SEVEN SAFETIES IN SEA OE Yankee Infield Comes Un fastened in Eighth Frame When Giants Push Over Four Counters in Opener By Edward J. Neil Associated Press Sports Writer. : POLO GROUNDS, New York, Sept. 3C (AP) Big Fed Ruffing and the Yankee Infield blew up In the rain vlth a resounding roar In the eighth inntng today, giving the Giants and Carl Hubbell an easy 0 to 1 victory in the miserably wet setting of the opening game of Manhattan's world series. Hubbell was struggling along with a 3 to 1 lead In the downpour that drove many of the sub-capacity crowd of about 45.000 to cover, when the geme blew up In a riot of hlU and errors on the mud sogged paths and slippery grass In the Giants hall1 of the eighth. Bill Terry, first to appear through the murk, rammed a single to center and then Mel Ott beat out a swinging bunt, catching the Yankee Infield napping, for a hit that put hie man ager on second. Jimmy Ripple, fresh man outfielder, sacrificed both along a base. After passing Gus Mancuso Inten tional 1 y, Ru f f Ing lost con trol and walked Burgess Whitehead, forcing Terry in with the first run. Ott counted the second run on Travis Jackson's long fly to center for the cecond out. Immediately thereafter the Yankee balloon went up Into the grey clouds that haunted the big National league ball yard all day. Carl Hubbell sliced a dinkey hit off Tony Lazzert's glove down by second base. Frank Crosettl picked it up, tried to catch Mancuso crossing the plate, and heaved wildly to catch BUI Dickey. Bill tore after the ball to the screen tack of the plate, picked It up and heaved it past Ruffing who was de fending the platter against the In come charge of Whitehead. The ball rolled to mid Infield where Lazzerl stalked it carefully, looked it over. then picked it up disgustedly as though It were a hand grenade. Mercifully Joe Moore grounded to Crosettl to end the inning four run scored on three hits, two walk, and two errora. The official box score: New York (A.L.)
