PAGTC FOUR MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. TUESDAY. OCTOBER '4. 1938. Record Crowd Gathers in Chicago for Opening First Series Game 3-1 WIN; CUBS SNEER AT F Little Betting Reported Capacity Crowd Assured Chicago Excited Diz zy Slated for 3rd Game. " CHICAGO, Oct. 4. W The Naw York Yankees, as confident and cock sure a ball club at ever stepped off a train Into enemy territory, arrived In Chicago ahead of time today, hurried away to their northslde ho tel and Indicated they were ready to take the Chicago Cuba apart In the world aeries opening at Wrlgley field tomorrow. To a man, the American league champions made It plain that they decidedly were not worried over the outcome of their approaching skirm ish with Gabby Hartnett'a scrappy outfit. "Just watch us go," grinned out fielder Jake Powell as he and his mates pushed their way through sev eral hundred fans who were on hand even though the Yank special pulled Into Union station about 48 minutes early. McCarthy Silent Manager Joe McCarthy, busy shep herding his players towaVd the Edge water Beach hotel, declined to com ment on who bis starting pltcer would be for the opener. The Cubs, still picking ticker tape out of their hair from the rousing welcome given them yesterday, chose to do their llmberlng-up about noon and then turn the park over to the visiting firemen from the American league. It Is possible that Manager Gabby Hartnett told his boya not to hang around after their praotlce and watch the Yankees put on their old act of oloutlng three dozen balls out of the orchard. Cuba Dont Scare The Cubs, though, dont act like an outfit that would scare easily In dividually and collectively they have been sneering for two days now at every mention of the Yankees' vaunt ed batting power. The town la pretty much excited about the big event which haa drop ped so suddenly and dramatically in to Its lap. Hotels already are cram med and tickets for the first two games here are understood to be get ting scarce. There Isn't much bet ting. Unofficial odds 'hereabouts favor the Yanks by about 8 to 1. Lee Is Hops Chlcagols chances seem to hinge on the possibility that Lee, a 33-' game winner this year, can stop the Manhattan murderers twice, and maybe three times. He has speed, a sharp curve, and a world of stamina. Yank adherents, however, point to the fact that few pitchers ever man age to fool DlMngglo, Dickey, Gehrig and the others twice running. They might do It once, but the next time they find that the Yanks are laying for them. Clay Bryant, the other strong-arm member of the Cubs' staff, la the logical choice to oppose Charley Ruf fing In the second go-round. He Is a little faster than Lee, so the New Yorkers can look forward to a diet of speed for the first two days. In the third game In New York lity they are likely to look at Dlezy Dean's new assortment of curves end cun ning. Old Die la yelling for a shot at the big fellows. The Yankees carry Into the series a club batting average of .374. against the Cuba' mark of .309. Also, and vastly more Important, they nudge the ball for home runs, triples and doublea, while the Cubs special Ice In singles. The Cubs will get some runs, but they've got to hope for a dazzling performance by their mound staff Both are fine fielding clubs, and the Yanks have the best throwing out field In the business. BY COAST HEAVY NEW YORK. Oct. 4. V-Lou No va, a lanky young heavyweight from San rranelsoo, who has been boxing profcAPlonslly only a couple of years, was right up In the front rank of title contenders today. While he didn't show any signs of being able to knock Joe Louts loose from his crown as he stopped Pin land's Ounnar Dsrlund In seven rounds at Madison Square Oarden laet nlpht. Nova demonstrated he can't be overlooked. When he gets another year or two of experience, h may be a real contender. Right now several others. Including Parlund. have to be sifted out In Promoter Mike Jacobs' elimination aeries which he hopes will produce an opponent for the ehamplon. The end of the fight was rather decisive. Referee Arthur Donovan called a halt at 1:4S in the seventh because Darlund'a left eye wsa bstily cut. But up to that time It was Nova who provided most of the excitement for la.Ottt fans. The Callforulan amarked Barlund around In nearly every round, scoring effectively with long lefts to the hd. following by short Jolting rights. Nora weighed 107 pounds to Bar lund J 304. i-arty Bowlers to Organtte. A ladles' bowling league will be organized tonlcht at a meeting In the Mndford alleys at 8 o'clock. All ladles Interested In Joining teams are asked to be present. A schedule will be formulated and of ficers elected. It's a First Down for Southern California Bursting through the Oregon State line for a four-yard gain and a first down Is William Anderson (25). southern California quarterback. In Mm first quarter of the Pacific Coast Conference name between the two elevens nt Los An Roles, fie was brought down by Kenneth Dow (43) Oregon State fullback. Other O. 8. C. players Identifier! are: James Mercer )36), quarterback, and Joseph HVndllck (50), end. Southern Callfnr nlt won the game 7 to 0. Sport Graphs ... Billy Hulen says: Tornado Mentor Not Blue Over Hood River Tilt "No, I'm not disappointed In the way the boya played. They made mistakes all green teams will make, of course, but they were mistakes they won't make Sb.y! attain." tyA It waa Head Coach Bill Bow er m a n talking about that 9 to 0 deadlock Med- mm ford'a Black Tor nado played with Hood River Fri - V. -. V'V day night, a tie that, while It didn't exactly skyrocket the Ti gers' stock, nev ertheless failed to Billy nulen. lower It. Hood River has the reputation of producing above-average prep football teams, and this season's Apptoplckers are no excep tion. It was a good Hood River ag gregation, and the Tornado was far from disgraced by being held to a tie. The hend mentor was especial ly pinned with the performance of the TlRcr line, with the ex ception of down field blocking. "Their tackling wns good antl blocking nt the line of scrim mage uns also witlsfnctory." Bill explained, "but we were pretty wenk when It enme to mopping up on the secondary. At least three tlntrs linll carriers were hnken lnne through nice holes In the line, hut were stop)rri hv defensive hnck who weren't har rassrd by blockers. With some good downfleld blocking, Med ford could have hnd several touchdowns." Bill Clute. the 320-pound tackle, and Boh Vernlck, end. both turned In greet games. Bill said, and Jack Bowman, left hnlfback. also did him self proud. Louie Thurman. the sophomore fullback, came through his first varsity teat In fine style, although making several mistakes attributable to Inexperience. In fact. the skipper stated, most of the en tire team came through in their opening battle with good exhibitions. With Roeeburg on the slate next., the game to he played here next Friday night, the Tigers will spend most of their time this practice week smartening up tn their offensive tac tic, and drilling on downfleld block ing. Several Tiger hacks can get out and go places with a little help, and if the linemen get the hang of tak ing out secondnrv defense-men with dispatch. BUI believe hts club will present a potent touchdown punch. Right now. the forward wall is going great guns at the line of scrimmage, and the mentor's prohlem is to get his forwards to hlant on through after their work at the line Is done, and knock down some defensive backs. Whether Rcveburg will prove ex ceptionally torh or Just a workout is a moot question, 'but Bowerman ta working on the former theory and will send his charces through in tensive drills. To dnte, the Indians have played only one game, a 7 to 7 tie with Iteedsport la.t Friday even ing, so the two teams will be facing nff with identical records. The up tate school ta not famous for Its powerful grid elevens, but you can never tell. Coach Jimmy Watts rosy have a hiimrilmicr this season. Ist season, the TU'i-rs belied them over. 33 to 7. hut no ftuch count Is ex pected this year. At oilier point on the South ern Oregon conference football front. Klamnth I all continued to dltptnv an almot unbeliev able olfrnshe dihe by licking It The Dalles, 33 to 0. Several persons from here saw the game, and report that Snowy (iustaf son has really got himself a foot ball team this year. The Peli cans, while rather small, are tremendously fast, and rely on razzle-dazzle almost entirely, al though they don't do much for ward passing. Most of their stuff takes the form of com plicated and elaborate ball handling. Ashland and Grants Pass battled to a scoreless tie at Grants Pasa In the opening conference clash, with the Grizzlies outplaying the Cavemen In-first down, 13 to 0. and making a few more net yards. Both teams lacked that touchdown punch, which Klamath Falls seems to pos sess in large measures. Yes. It looks more and more like the Pelicans are the team to beat for the conference crown. , -4 BUT NOT SETTLED KLAMATH FALLS, Oct. 4. p) An antl-plgeon ordinance might solve the difficulty, the Klamath Falls city council decided last night, but then there was the problem of Illiteracy among the blrda. Councilman John Keller atarted It. He said pigeons were making trouble for householders as well as occupants of downtown buildings. Police Judge Otto Langslet got out the big ordinance book and found an act covering livestock and fowls. It barred such ereaturea from the city at large unless accompanied by en attendant able to control their ac tions. No amount of aldermanlc Imagin ation could visualise an attendant controlling the actions of a flock of pigeons, and that Idea was rejected. Keller then suggested an open sea son on the birds, but the city fath ers decided only trouble woud ensue from Indiscriminate shooting. Finally the problem was turned over to City Attorney D. E. Van Vac tor with a view to drafting some ssrt of pie pigeon control ordinance. Some of the more dubious council men, however, questioned whether that would provide the solution, for the prevalent opinion was that pig eons can't read. ! Police Judge Otto Langslet topped off the discussion with the remark ; that he knows several of the blrda, j that they are friendly and alight on ! hla windowsill in the morning, where they coo to each other and Otto. The council adjourned, leaving the I weighty matter In abeyance. RESUME DRILLS Oct. 4 Nursing its bruises, the University of Oregon football squad plunged back into practice today after edging out UCLA'e Bruins 14 to 13, Saturday.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4. (P) Add to gether that exciting National league pennant race, the Yankees' slow start In the American' league, the unusual Interest aroused by auch individual feats as Johnny Vender Meer'a two no-hlt pitching performances and Hank Greenberg's threat to break the home run record and you arrive at the fact that major league baseball attracted more fans during the 1938 season than ever before. An Associated Press survey today disclosed that the season's paid at tendance for the two big leaguer, was 10.271.891. The two champion ship clubs, the Yankees and Cubs, both went over the million mark th home-game attendance and the two leagues proved ab3ut equal in draw ing power. The American holding the edge, 5.225.455 to 5.042.436. The total of over ten million cash customers Is at least as high as that of 1930, when the previous all-time high mark was reached. The attend ance that year was given In "round numbers" its 10,000.000. Last year the toffil was 0.447,407. A new single-game record was set at the Yankee stadium May 30 when 83.633 fans turned out. This eclipsed the previous stadium high of 66,660, made in the 1936 world series. The Yanks topped both circuits with a total home attendance of 1,- 069.074 but drew 72.022 fewer cus tomers than in 1037. The Cubs . drew 1.044.838 home fans to beot last year's total by near ly 100.000 whtle the Detroit Tigers showed the greatest drop, from 1, 181.000 to 893.900. E COAST NET MEET BERKELEY. Cal..

Oct. 4. JF) On the eve of the world series there waa one worry Charles Leo Hartnett. "Leo the Lion," didn't have worry over a con tract to manage the Cubs In 1930. Philip K. Wrlgley, owner of the Cutw, said today Gabby would have been retained next year even If he hadn't led the team to a pennant. "So he certainly hasn't anything to worry about now." Wrlgley added. "If I can do as good a Job running the business end as he did with the team we will be even. Gabby and hla players proved to me what I have always maintained, that spirit and fortunate breaks can bring re sults. Hartnett didn't wait for the' breaks, he went after them. "Anybody who geta any place does the same." Hartnett will alt In on a confer ence today with Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball, for the session of managers and umpires which Landis calls annually on the eve of the series. Joe McCarthy, Yankee manager and Umpires John Sears, Louis Kolls, Charles Moran and Cal Hubbard will be other con ferees. Gabby says he will catch the open er tomorrow, even If they have to lug him to the plate in a wheel chair. The first and third fingers of hla right hand, injured by foul tips last week, still are swollen and sore, but that won't, stop him. The third finger, when taped, will not hamper his throwing. The index finger la discolored and still swollen. For IS years Hartnett snatched balls out of the air without a scratch, but within the space of a month he suffered a broken right thumb and two split fingers. McLeod MCLEOD. Oct. 4. (Spl.)

The Mad Italian gained the lone tumble of the rough and tough brawl, employing his devastating bouncing surfboard after 17 minutes of milling, to end things. Pretty well done In after receiving the hold, Bozlnls requested an additional five minute rest period in which to re cuperate for the next fall, but the villainous Italian refused. Bozlnls gamely staggered from his comer to take his certain beating, but Referee Earl Yoakley stepped between the pair and hoisted Belcastro's mitt. The aggressive Bozlnls worried Pete plenty with his expert maYilpulatlon of arm and leg holds, and twice ap plied hla potent back breaker. How ever, Pete was simply too big and strong for Nick to handle, and the backbreakera were only half effec tive. They slowed Belcatra down for a moment, but he was able to come back and foul Bozlnls more than ever. Paul Murdock grabbed a sensa tional middle event match over Bud dy Knox, using his Alabama Thun derbolt hold In the fourth and fifth rounds to end the bout after Knox took the first tumble in the second round with a lariat spin. It was one of the finest matches of the year, with Murdock changing the complexion of things with amazing suddenness in the fourth round when It appeared Knox had the bat tle well under control. After the Mlsslsslpplan received the thunder bolt in the fourth, he was easy prey for a similar hold in the fifth, tak ing the count in 10 seconds. Charley Carr whipped Tiger Tsakoff in the six-round opener, winning the first tumble In the third round with thundering sonnenbergs and a body press, and the next fall In the fourth on a foul, occurring when Tsakoff refused to break a leg hold at the repeated warnings of Referee Yoakley. Attendance last night showed a sharp increase over the preceeding two Mondays, and the large out pouring of customers was treated to a rip-snorting program. Promoter Mack Llllard announced that next week would be ladles' night, with all purchasers of reserved seat or balcony tickets being given a ducat to admit one lady free.
