NEW YORK, Oct. 1. The "massacre at the Polo ground!," per petrated by the world champion Yan kees with the greatest one-club re writing the record boolte In series history, left little room (or doubt to day ai to the tupertorlty ot "murder era' row" In all department ol play over anything the big time hat to otter. Anslysls of the six-game title vlo tory over the Giants, which saw more than two score records equalled or surpassed and which alternately bit the heights of brilliance or the depths of dizziness, provides a clear cut pic ture of a Yankee team head and shoulders over Its series rival and possibly hended for another of the runs of prosperity enjoyed under the lets Miller Hugglns. Olnnts Need Hatting Punch. Outplaying the National league champions In all departments, as a , team and man for mnn, except at short and behind the bat, the Yan knet demonstrated that the senior tfettilt'a crying need to regain oham slonshln honors Is the development of a "homlclao squad" of Its own. Not only did the triumph of Lou Gehrig and company In lour games , out of six keep the National league entry from the game's richest prlw for the seventh time In tlx last ten years, but It showed beyond a doubt that more than exceptional pitching la necessary to stop such a thunder ous batting punch as the Yankees possess. The (Slants left th field In yes terday's finale, not only beaten soundly 13 to 5 by another display of the Yanks' first degree murder at th plate, but also apparently In need of considerable rebuilding. The American leaguers, on the other hand, gave every Indication of a club Just reaching Its peak. With the exception of the perform ances of Clus Mancuso at catcher and Dick Bnrtcll at short, tho Olants were unable to boast of a single equality or superiority ovor a rival American leoguer. ' But In every other position, the Tanks were far superior, Powell Hero. In Loftflelder Jake Powoll, heavy blttlng hero of the series with a .455 aversge. and Rlghtfleider "Twinkle toes" aeorgs Selkirk, who banged out wo homers and hit for .333, Mo Cnrthy has discovered a pair of play ars capnbly filling the shoes of Rutn and his one-time slugging mate, Bob Meusel. Powell stands out with Tony tat ter! as the series hero, outplaying hli Olsnt rival, Jojo Moore, who failed to hit his strlds until the Inst two games. The outfield surprise, howover, was Selkirk, who came through admirably to the man-for-man comparison, de spite the fact he was lined up against the National leaguo's horns-run king. Mel Ott, who, although hitting .304 was a "bust" from a Olsnt stand, point, falling to drive In a run until yesterday's final game, when he con tributed his only series homer. Yank Pitchers Surprise. The most unexpected turn of af fairs csme with the pitching, where the Ysnks wound up with a decisive margin over the staff headed by the great Carl Hubbell. The statistics show '.lie American league hurling brigade allowed a to tal of 21 earned runs to 30 yielded by Hubbel and seven oilier Client pitchers, while the National leaguers were uuablo to point a single angle In which they looked the better of the two. In the Infield, particularly, tho Giants were woefully on the short end by any sort of comparison. The series, undoubtedly, mnrked the oud of the playing days ot Manager Bill irry at first and Field Captain Travis Jackson at third. Jackson, committing three errors, pretty much the series goat. Terry wss beyond doubt tho gamest player on the field, but an ailing knee and th additional worries ot his mana gerial post, made his replacement next year almost a certslnty. Yank Infield Tops. The Yanks, however, showed an In field that topped their rivals In ail ways, with tlehrlg living up to his reputation as among the best In the business and driving In seven runs; the aging Tony Larorrl taking rans m the most dangerous batter "in the clutch." batting In soven runs with flv hits, one of them his rccora- rqualllng homer with the bases load ed In the second game, and Red Holfe, s performer Just hitting his stride at third. Rolfe and Powell were the only reonlars on either club to hit .400 for the six gomes. Tho chnmnlonshln win was the fourth straight for the Yankees, their fifth In eight series, snd their sec ond sinco Msrse Joe McCarthy took over the managerial reins. In addition to s wide assortment of hltthig and scoring records, the series put new all-time highs In the books for attendance for six games, receipts and players' share. Tho sggregale receipts of 11.304. -800 topped by 100.000 tie previous blgh taken In for the 1926 Cardinals.

FANDOM RANDOM By DICK AVVl.KUMK, We noticed something pccullnr In nn Ashland paper regard tug tho foot ball gnmo At Grunt Piub Friday night, In which tho Cavemen downed tho Or liUos 0-0. Th report atates: "fltat!t!cis gav Ahlnnd x flret cowiu tt Xlve tor Grant Taaa, but nome of the Grizzly yardage waa the result of ponnltlcs and numerous mysterious decisions by tho offlolala, which nobody could understand, not even the coaches, pans saw Ashland heave five or six Incomplete passes In succession without losing the .ball at the end of four downs, and are till wondering why. 1 that sour gmpes because As I1J11 n d luht the ball game? Pos sibly ft little, but we don't think so. A genuine confusion exists In regard to the rules this jcar, and one constantly sees rulings this season that are puzzling to the fans, some officials are alto puzzled by the new set-up . . . not on the rulings or the penal ties, but on the reasons for them. The mlx-up Is this: Tho Oregon high schools this year are no longer playing under Intercollegiate rules as they have been for many years, but are taking their guidance from tho1 Federation football code. According to L. L. Deal of Crania Pass, who Is an official who keeps up with the cur rent rules as well as any official we know, tells us that tho Federation iiiles were set up and adopted by a group of 13 high schools in and aiouud Illinois, with Oregon, tor some mysterious reason, being the only state on tho cowt paying any attention to them. For I nit n nee, under Intercol legiate rules me forward pass Is restricted to ft zoic five yards behind the line of scrimmage, nltrrras under Federation signals (he bull vim be throw it fur ward from any point behind the scrim mage, Itnc, Just as In professional ball. Federation rules aUo rorbtd tackling the paMcr after he liu got rid of the ball, and the roughing of thu kicker after he bus punted, teeth hi rules that lme been Incorporated Into Intercollegiate code for fcome lime. When Mcdford played Eureka here Inst week they, ot course, had to comply with Intercollegiate rules, for California has not, adopted Federation htyle, it may mean a difference in the Med ford attack against Itosoburg here Saturday, but not much, It any. other than that forward pawing rule. As to the Ashland doubts on ' five or six Incomplete passes In succession without losing the ball at the end of four downs," wo see several ways that such a situation could occur. For Instance, If both sides wero off-side, the play would be called back, the down remain the same, and the ball remain in the same place, a long as both teams wens trft-side at the same time. But, If the Ashland reporter was referring to the lack of penalty after two Incomplete passes In series, then the Ashland scribe, and not the offlcl.il, Is wrong, It has been several years now since tho ruling against two incomplete passes In u row has been discarded, and any team can throw Incomplete passes all afternoon without penalty If they care to. Another Federation rule that seems silly In high school circles, 1 the one about substitutions. Under Intercol legiate, substitution may be made without penalty any time the bait Is dead, allowing a coach to remove a , tired or slightly Injured player at j almost any time. Federation rules, however, pemlhre substitution at any times other than tlmes-out or out- , of-Qouuds, t perfectly ftulolu kle ' for high schools, although It might work fine for colleges.

(AP) The annusl deer-season controversy regarding proposals to permit killing tb female of the specie found no sympathy today In Prank P. Wire, state game supervisor. The argument waxes furiously In sportsmen's circles each year when the usual proportion come home tmpty-hsnded to protest that the only targets which presented them selves were does. Wire, In addition to supporting the contention that protection of the female deer Is a necessity to perpetu ate we Breed, said today he believed on open season on does would In crease human mortality during the nunting season. "If any deer was legal, such a law would be apt to Increase the ten dency to shoot at anything that i-ok-ed like game," Wire said. "Hunters Damping through the brush would be be In greater danger of being shot by fellow huntsmen with quick trigger-fingers." The supervisor ssld the game com mission regarded tho present sex ratio of deer In Oregon's forests as "satis factory." Sines tho current season ODened Sept. 30, five hunters have been killed.

MOORE WOULD BATTLE PETE WITH ins TO AVENGE MAT TACTICS "Tell Mack Llllard I want Belcaatro, and I want him with the gloves," Oene Moore, lightning footed drop klcker who succumbed to a clout in the back of the neck In his last bout with the Lethal Latin, told-The Mall Tribune yesterdsy. Moore and Belcastro, In two of the most hslr raising battles ever seen here, have divided honors, Mooro tak ing first blood on a clenn win when he kicked the Italian Into the third row of chairs, and Bclcastro winning Monday when he sneaked up on Moore's blind Bide and pole-axed him with a rabbit punch. Mooro claims that the blow should have been ruled a foul, but admits that. Referee Swede Anderson, who was also the recipient of one of Belcastro's haymakers, was In no condition to Judge the proper merits of the battle,. Moore Is a former prtze-tlghter, slinging leather for two years before he took up the mat game In 1033. Belcastro Is also a former boxing lu minary, having fought for five years. Last night th, Italian knocked Les Wolfe out In a match at Klamath Falls, In the second round. The new drop-klcker Is so anxious to have It out with the Weed ava lanche that he has agreed to forfeit his entire purse If he fslls to win by a knockout. "If that Belcastro wants to slug It out, then I'm his meat. He cooled me when I wasn't looking, and that's where I was a sucker. But It's my turn to do the cooling now, and if Llllard will give me a crack at him I'll slap him Billy or get out of the territory," he said. Llllard, approached In Klamath Falls last night, said It wss Immate rial to him whether Moore and Bel castro boxed or not, and promised to approach the big Italian relative to a struggle with the gloves. Moore said that If Belcaatro didn't want to meet blm In the ring, "a battle be hind th, barn might be arranged." PLANNED BY BEAVERS CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 7.

YOU remember the man who said he owned a suit for every day in the week the one he had on. All of us, these past years, have had to make our old shoes and hats and dresses and suits do double duty we've worn them months longer than usual simply to save money. Now that things are brighter, it's a good idea to take stock and stock up, While fall's still young, invest, if you feel able, in a new suit, a new hat, a new rug for the living-room, perhaps a new refrigerator, or a vacuum cleaner! Prices are likely to be lower than you expect and after all, don't you deserve a change of scenery, personal and household? One word watch the advertising in this paper care fully before you buy.

LIGHT SCRIMMAGE FOR TIGER SQUAD The first string of the Mcdford football team, still battered from a hard Eureka game last Saturday, was held out of scrimmage by coscb BUI Bowerman last nlht, but will get a light scrimmage work out tonight. Tomorrow a heavier scrimmage will be held, possibly for hslf an hour, to polish plays to be used against the Roseburg Indiana here Saturday. Bowerman ssld that ho knowj little of Roseburg backfleld prospects, but that the Indian line will outweigh the Tiger forward vail by soveral pounds per man. The visitors will bring two tackles that scale over 300 pounds apiece, with big guards and ends, and a husky center. Since Tiger pleys worked Intermittently Well against the heavy Eureka line, no change In method jf ittaca la con templated by the local mentor. No further Injuries other than those to Lewis and Of ford resulted from the last game, Bowerman said, and be believes -bis team will be In top physical condition for the fray. Much of tho defensive work this week has been concentrated on tho stopping of forward-lateral passes such as the weapon used by iSurcka to harass the Tigers all afternoon last week. One of the Medford starters in the game will be a former Roseburg star. Bob Morris, who started the season here In the backfleld as a transfer from the northern city, has been shifted to the line and has shown rapid Improvement at the guard post.
