Over Two Score Records
Equalled or Surpassed in
Six-Game Series Batting
Punch Shown Giants Need
By BID FEIWK
(Associated Press Sports Writer.)
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

POWELL SMASHES HOMER IN FINAL SERIES GAME
Jake Powell, the hitting hero of the Yankees, helped his team sew up the "subway" World Series with
the Giants by smashing out a homerun In the second Inning of the sixth and final game, scoring Selkirk
head of him. The Yanks won 13 to 8, capturing the series four games to two. Powell Is shown scoring,
with other Yanks. Including Selkirk (8) stretching out to shake his hand. (Associated Press Photo)

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.
Random Observations: Gene Moore ;
tho drop-kicking fool who has divid
ed his last two matches with Pete
Be least ro, thinks this the finest
country he has ever seen, and he'd
like to make his homo here, with his
brldo of six months , . . L. h. Deal,
leferred to earlier, is tho only toot
ball official, or anyono else for that
matter, who pronounces that word

settle an old grudge at Klamath Falls
last night Pete Bclcastro knocked Lei

lmprosslbly, however . . . Moore says
If they fight no better than that, he
can lick them both. In tho some ring
. . . tho two gladiators came Into
tho ring looking like Barneses mum

SHOOTING OF DOES
PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 1. (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. Only ono death due to hunt
ing aocldento wss recorded In 1036.
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. (AP)
Promises of a snappy aerial attack
against the University of CallfornH
at Portland Saturday were renewed
today as tho Oregon State Beavers
entered the final days of practice
determined to gain their first vic
tory of the CoaBt conference .season.
The backfleld combination1 began
to take definite form, Joe Gray,
Oregon State's candidate for all-
coast backfleld honors, will start at
left half. Tommy Swanson will be
the first choice at right hall. Bill
Duncan will start at quarter and
Elmer Kolberg at full.
OREGON OFF THURSDAY
FOR SOUTHERN TUSSLE
EUGENE, Ore.. Oct. 7. (AP)-After
only three days of practice on Hay
ward field, the Oregon Webfoo.ts pack
their bags tomorrow for another
southern trip.
This time Coach "Prink" Cdlilbon
looked for a change over last Sat
urday' disastrous Journey to Lob
Angeles to play Southern California.
Oregon tackles Stanford at Palo Alto
this week-end.
Aa long as his varsity eleven is
fresh, the coach believes It can stop
the Cardinals. Last Saturday the
Webfoots held the Trojans corolew
In the first, half.'
Any Old RAGS?
Any Old SHOES?
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. Real money can be saved by
judicious buying and judicious buying is often a
matter of first reading the advertising columns! Read
them today and reap . . . more for your money!
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.
He has picked up his line assign
ments quickly, and la expected to
prove a particular fly In the oint
ment of his former team-mates
