P'AGTC F0T7T? v fEBFO'RP MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORP, OREGON, TTJE5PAY, OCTOBER 5, 1937.- Gomez and Hubbell Slated for Southpaw Duel in Opening of Series AS TEAMS GIVEN FINAL WORKOUTS Club Officials Expect Record Attendance for Fall Clas sic Melton to Hurl Second Game for Giants NEW YORK, Oct. 6,-(P-An all southpaw pitching duel wu assured today for the opening game of the world aeries when Manager Joe Mc Carthy announced he would send Vernon Gomez to the mound for the New York Yankees. Bill Terry of the New York Giants already bu nom inated Carl Hubbell for pitching duty In the first game tomorrow. Charles (Red) Ruffing, big right bander, definitely will pitch the sec ond game against Cliff Melton, gan gling lefthanded sensation of the Giants. The third game pitchers probably will be Hal Schumacher for the Giants and Monte Pearson for the Yankees. The weather bureau predloted partly cloudy and warmer" weather for tomorrow and mentioned the probability of showers tonight and tomorrow. The bureau said Its next world series forecast would come at 10 o'clock tonight. By Gayle Talbot. NEW YORK, Oct. 5. OP) The Giants and the Yankees, both fit and both confident they hold a fistful of acea, hold their final workouts early this afternoon, and at 1 :30 p. m. fE.B.T.) tomorrow they smack Into each other In the second straight "subway aeries." Two more substantial, complacent ball clubs probably never met In a world series since the annual fall follies were Inaugurated In 1003. Neither appears to be unduly excited nor awed,' but, Just the same, the aeries promises to be hard-fought and exciting every foot of the way. Battle Lines Drawn. The battle lines are definitely drawn, pending a last-minute change by Msnager Bill Terry of the Giants or Joe McCarthy of the Yanks. Carl Hubbell, the Oklahoma farmer, will try to win his third straight series opener for the Giants, and Vernon (El Goofy) Gomez, another leftist, will toll for the Yanks. They are perhaps the leading southpaws In the game, and the prospect of a thrilling duel between them has led optimistic club officials to hope to break the world series attendance record of 69,009 set at the stadium a year ago. Indications to day, however, were that the opening day attendance would not be much more than 60,000. The Yank a' lineup Is settled for the , aeries with the same array that swamped the American league under a deluge of base-hits, except that hard-hitting George Selkirk has re covered from a mid -season hurt Just In time to take over his right field post. He, with Joe DlMagglo, Lou Gehrig and BUI Dickey, comprise the backbone of the Yankee's devastat ing attack. Giants Shifted. The Olants. who are the weaker hitting outfit and therefore com pelled to consider every possible an gle In their atruggle for runs, will do considerable shifting, about. Against Gomez tomorrow they will have big Hank Lelber, right-handed power hit ter, playing center field and batting olean-up.

(AP) The proudest and most excited man in this big city today wss sn old, weather beaten salt who traveled clear across the continent to see a guy named Joe play in the world series. His suitcase crammed with mama si famous cookies, cake and several bottles of wine, Joseph DlMaggto, Sr., made his first trip to New York In 41 years with omy one bit of sightseeing on his mind. "That," he aald, "la to see my boy Giuseppe hit a home run against the Giants, If you've ever seen an aged father glow over the exploits of a son, then you've got the picture of Papa DlMagglo. In more than 3ft years of fishing off San Francisco bay, he's bad more than his share of thrills but to come to New York, all 'ex penses paid, to see Oluseppe strut his stuff before thousands of cheer ing fans tops Papa's wildest dreams. Papa arrived yesterday morning, accompanied by his third son, Domi nic, star outfielder of the San Fran cisco seals, who -hopes to emulate his more famous brothers, Yankee Joe and Vlnoent, who did a fine Job his first year up with the Boston Bees this season. Joe met them at the station, dined himself on the cook lea and cake, and then took oeza will be In the middle pasture for the Glanta, with Jimmy Ripple batting fourth. Terry, who has so fsr recovered from his Influenza that he took a few cuts at the plate In yesterday's practice, has delegated the veteran Oua Mancuso to catch both Hubbell In tomorrow's game and Slim Melton In the second game. Harry Dannlng Is slated to catch Hal Schumacher In the third. All of which Indicates the essen tlal difference between the two New York teams. The Yanks are set to slug It out on their customary lines. The Giants are going to play It "cute and fight for a nm at a time, plac ing their trust In Hubbell, Melton and Schumacher to curb the enemy. Melton Key Man. The key man of the series, with all due respect to Hubbell, is very likely to be Melton, the tall, hungry looking mountaineer known to his teammates as "Mickey Mouse." If Melton, a 30-ftame winner In his first season, throttles the Yankee batters In the second game, then It's any body's series, snd probably the Gi ants'. Somebody asked Terry yester day If he expected Melton to play much of a part In the big ruckus. "I expect him to play a wry. very Important part." growled the col onel. Those who watched the rival tema tn batting practice were struck by the obvtois disparity In power. The Yankees, one after the other, rattled balls against the far boards and the stadium echoed with the vigor of thMr blows. Tneir rivals, on the other hand, seldom bashed one solid ly. Their beat licks looked like sin gles. But the Giants', Infield display ed more elp and sparkle than the Yanks'. Reports have It that there has been an unusual amount of betting on the series, with the Yankees steady a to 5 choices. Those seem very attrac tive odds to the Glsnts' admirers, considering the pace their club has set In the past month, ASTHMA - About - Face "Lefty" Gomez (above) after two them out to Yankee stadium for the series practice. "This," said the amazed Papa Dl Magglo as he entered the Yankee stadium, "Is a great' park, And a big one. too. Giuseppe, bow can you hit home runa In a place like this?" "I Just swing, pop."1 laughed Joe. "C'mon, the boys want; to take your picture." A score of cameras 4lcked as the old fisherman posed with his two sons. J After the practice, Oroe took his father to what he thought was the swankiest Italian restsurhnt In town. But Papa refustd to eatf "I darned near forgot," laid Joe. "Pop won't eat restaurant food of any kind. Won't eveeat the good stuff I have In my" own restaurant back home. He'll come In but he won't eat. He doesn't like hotels either. I wanted to put him up in style, but he looked up one of his old pals where he's staying and eat ing home cooked food." Paps DlMagglo. who last saw New York In 1806 when he came over from Palmero, Sicily, retired from fishing five years sgo. Since then his life hss been baseball. Being Papa to three good ball players scattered all over the United States Is an exciting life, Papa DlMagglo admitted.

Riverside BELCASTRO GIVES 10 FANS' DELIGHT Pete Belcastro did It., Before a raving crowd of mat mani acs In the Medford srmory lsst night, the Mad Italian from Weed, Cal.. gave the Terrible Les Wolfe the beat ing of his life. Or rather, It should be reported that Pete Belcastro and Referee Gorilla Pogl gave Wolfe the working over he has been needing for so long. Probably It doesn't mat ter much anyway, the result Is the same. The bout was one of the shortest main events seen here In a long time, but tt packed more action than a dozen of the usual top offerings. The end came with Wolfe, who has ter rorized this territory for over a month, groveling on the canvas. If there was one legitimate wres tling hold applied during the fracas, it waa well hidden. From the open ing gun. both villains started their dirt, the like of which has never been witnessed anywhere. The pay of came when Pete, after securing Wolfe's left leg between the ring ropes, grabbed the other and at tempted to split the Texas Terror up the middle. ' Referee Pogl, who never liked Wolfe anyway, did his best. He made tl appear as If he was trying to make Belcastro stop. With Pete pulling with all his might on Wolfe'a right leg. the Gorilla grabbed Pete and did some pulling on his own. To even the most cas ual observer It was apparent that Referee Pogl wasn't doing much to further the Wolfe cause although Pogl, today, could ask, "Wasn't I trying to pull Belcastro away from the Wolfe guy?" The answer would be yes and no. Pogl wss pulling on Pete, but wltlh esch pull, poor Wolfe wss being sep arated Just that much more. When finally Pete consented to stop and aurvey his handiwork, Wolfe collaps ed on the carpet and was counted out. Previous to that wild and wooly action. Pete had grabbed the first fall on a foul. Standing In the middle of the ring before the bell, Wolfe Insisted on examining Belcas tro 's trunks. Pete raised his arms for the look-see, and the Texan Im mediately blasted out with both fists to the groin. In two minutes of furious action, with Wolfe hammer ing Belcastro Into a pulp, the first fall wu over. When Referee Pogl finally separated the pair, still with their dressing robes on, Pete was about all In from the unexpected attack. Referee Pogl awarded the tumble to Belcastro on a foul. In between the first and finishing shoulder-press, both meanies opened the book. First, Wolfe would grsb his opponent and attempt to break his neck over the ropes, then It would be Belcastro's turn. A short and vio lent apell waa spent outside the ring, both punching, pulling hair, eye gouging and kicking to a fare thee well. In the middle event. Marshall Car ter defeated Frank le Clemens, two falls to one. The deciding tumble occurred In the fourth stanza when Carter raged from bis corner at the bell and fired a terrific sonnenberg at the Indian, which caught him un awares In the stomach. It was the finisher. Carter took the first fall . In the first round with sonnenbergs and a body press. Clemens came back to win the second in the second round OtlvtnUod tu.1 boi with ,raur Mpteltr.

After trying all, through the match to maneuver Carter Into his famous Indian para lyser, Clemens finally succeeded In the third round.

Carter did Just that, bis crashing sonnenberg connecting where he was looking, to end the match. Frank le Murdock took a two out of three fall match from Bobby Wag ner In the opener, both falls being produced with his effective figure four leg-breaker. Wagner won the first in the third chapter with a cannon-ball drop, with Murdock tak ing the next two In the fourth and fifth rounds. The first two mstches were spark ling exhibitions of clean and scien tific grappling. NEWARK TIGHTENS 'LITTLE SERIES' COLUMBUS, O.. Oct. 5. (AP) The Columbus Red Birds, champions of the American association, had some what of an Inkling today of how and why the Newark Bears, their oppo nents In the little world series, won the International league flag by e 2&i -game margin. After winning the first three games of the minor league classic at New ark, the Red Birds had an Idea that the "best of seven" series was In the bag. But the Bears bounced right back Saturday night to beat the Birds 8 to 1 on the local lot and last night they did it again. 1 to 0- The Birds still are leading, three games to two, but after getting but one run In the last 19 Innings, and with the prospect of facing Vlto Ta- mulis, Bear pitcher who won 18 and lost six during the regular season, the home boys aren't so sure Newark won't tie It up tonight.

Sport Graphs Billy Hulen Sayt : Yankees Figured ' As Easy Winners In Fall Classic ' The big show starts tomorrow, and about all the local baseball boys can see Is a Yankee victory, which Is not unusual, "Them Yanks" are figured bv one and ell to make short work of BUI Terry's Giants, maybe In four straight, maybe In five. but anyway, to do It. When the two New York clubs face off for the first of seven games which will decide the world's cham pionship, no less than five former Pacific Coast league perform Billy Rolea ers will be doing their stuff In the top sporting event of them all. Strangely, they will all be wearing the uniform of Colonel Jacob Rupert and his Yankees. Nary a Giant can claim previous baseball service in the AA Coast circuit. The Coast brigade la led. of course, by Jolting Joe Dlmaggio, the most sensational hitter, fielder and all arcmnd performer this league has ever produced. He is a graduate of the San Franclso sandlota and saw his first professional action with the Seals. He will be In center field for the Yanks. Also from San Francisco and the Seals will be Frankte Cro setti, brilliant shortstop, still an other former Seal l& Lefty Gomez, ace portslder of Joe McCarthy's gang of sluggers de luxe. Gomez wound them over for the Seals at the time Curt Davis, now with the Chicago Cubs, was doing the same, and la ex- I pected to pitch two games against the Giants. Myril Hoag, utility outfielder,- Is a product of Sacramento, where he starred In center field for the Solons for a couple of years before getting his chance at the big time. And last, but far from least, la Tony Lazzerl, the aging second baseman for the American leaguers, who will probably not see much action be caua of wobbly underpinnings. Laz zerl started his climb to the top with the old Salt Lake City club In the coast league. The team waa later transferred to Hollywood when Ver non moved to Sen Francisco and be the KATYDID SOUNDS TAPS STOP your car in open country one of these nights while fireflies still twinkle and the orchestra of insects is in its last wild frenzy. Perhaps you'll hear a new musician tuning up: "Katy did! . . . Katy didn't!" A week later when others are muted by the sudden chill of night, this lone fiddler's notes will multiply into a loud and rousing threnody: "KATY DID! . . . KATY DIDN'T!" And what is this to you? "Six weeks after the first katydid comes the frost!" How will you make the most of the months ahead? . . . Have you thought how fully the advertisements tell the story of your needs? Here, in the pages of this newspaper, syles originate and coming events are clearly shown. Here are things new and important for the home, for personal use, for business. Depend upon advertising to think in advance for you ... to save you money and energy, and keep you abreast of the times. Winter's ahead . . . but advertising has foreseen its coming! came the Missions, and now has Just won the pennsnt under the name of San Diego after being moved out of Hollywood two years ago. With baseball taking over the na t Ion's sporting Interest for almost a week, anyway, it might be of Interest to local John Q. Phllberts to glsnce at some strange things that have happened in the past world series. For Instance, the Philadelphia Athletics played five consecutive games In the "serious" of 1931 without an error being chalked up against them. On the other hand. Roger I'eckinpaugh, Wash ington shortstop, and voted the most valuable player In the American league In 1025, com mitted five errors all by his lone some In the seven-game series with Pittsburgh. Four of them came In one game. The longest world series game In history lasted 14 innings. In 1916, with Boston winning from Brook lyn. 2-1. There have been three tie games played, Chicago and Detroit battllnK to a 3-3 deadiocK in vt frames in 1907: there was an U-in nlng 6-6 tie between the Olants and Boston In 1912: and the two New York clubs went 10 innings to a 3-3 standoff in 1922. There has never been a no hit game pitched In the fall clas sic, and only one one-hitter. Ruelbach of the Chicago Cubs Is generally credited with a one hitter njjnlnst the Chicago White Sox in 1!06. Ancient box scores sny lie allowed a single and a double. For some- unknown rea son, the double was later deleted from the records. In 1904. Boston. American league winner, challenged the New York Giants, National champions. That was before the annual series was arranged. John McGraw. manager of the proud Giants, replied to the chal lenge by stating that he did not wish to "endanger the y standing of my team by sending It against a minor league club." Thats a far cry from the situation today, when the balance of power certainly seems to lie with the American league. Fumbling Beavers Gix)en 'Consolation CORVALLIS, Ore., Oct. 5. ( AP) Two conference defeats resulting from fumbles were bad enough, but Oregon State college's back field foot ball players smarted today from the 'consolation" of Coach Lon Stlner that "maybe the conference officials will let us put a handle on that, football next Saturday." The unlucky Beavers pushed prac tice sessions In preparation for their invasion of the University of Wash ington Saturday.
