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

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. When Red Ruffing, a
right-hander, takes the hill for the
Yanks In the second tussle, Lou Chi

Dimaggio's Proud Papa
To Watch Him in Series
By PAUL MICKELSON
NEW. YORK, Oct. o. (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,

"This," said the amazed Papa Dl

stadium, "Is a great' park, And a

hit home runa In a place like this?"
"I Just swing, pop."1 laughed Joe.
"C'mon, the boys want; to take your

"Pop won't eat restaurant food of

won't eat. He doesn't like hotels
either. I wanted to put him up in

old pals where he's staying and eat

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

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

with an Indian crab. After trying
all, through the match to maneuver
Carter Into his famous Indian para
lyser, Clemens finally succeeded In
the third round. Carter kicked and
squirmed and was about ready to
fold up when the bell saved him.
Realizing he better make things
short and snappy In the next frame.
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.

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.
