CUBS ARRIVE IN NEW YORK Chicago and New York Go Through Final Workouts Today for Series New York. Sept. 27 —(U.R) - The Chicago Cubs cancelled their practice session because of rain' and cold weather today and will meet the New York Yankees in the opening game of the world series tomorrow — weather per-, mitting — without benefit of a previous workout. A driizling rain greeted the Cubs special when it arrived this morning. The Yankees already l were at the stadium hoping that; the rath would subside enough to I permit them a brief practice, but the outlook was discouraging “This is no sort of weather for baseball." Manager Charley Grimm said “So I guess well wait until tomorrow, when we'l go out a few; hours before game time and bat and throw a tew around.” Grimm reported that the Cubs were in top shape. He said the , leg injury he suffered a week or so ago would not bother him. Grimm still plans to start Guy Bush, the elongated Mississippi right hander, in the first game, l anti follow with Lonnie Warneke.; sensational youngster, in the second. Grimm is not bothered by. reports the youthful Warneke will he overwhelmed by the importance j of the assignment. “Warneke has the ideal pitching temperament," Grimm said. “He won't get flustered.

I another ball game to him." New York. Sept. 27. — <U.R> — Charley Grimm's cocky, determlnI ed Chicago Cubs came to town toI day, primed for tomorrow's world ' series opener and not in the least [ impressed by the record of the hard-hitting New York Yankees. i The National league champions, and a few favored Chicago fans i and correspondents, trooped oft | their special Pennsylvania train, oozing with confidence. This confidence and their fight- ' ing spirit, predominating charact- ; eristics of the Cubs' 1932 edition, inspired belief among baseball i experts that the series may be far from a walkaway for the highly I touted New Yorkers. The Yanks continued to rule favorites in betting circles. Odds from 5-to-3 to 3-to-2 were quoted. Several hets were reported at l-to-5 and l-to-4 that the Yanks would win four straight. Both clubs were going through their final tune-up practices today! at Yankee stadium. The home! team's workout came in the forenoon. and the windy city boys] were to follow later. Charley Ruffing, the big red-; headed right hander of the Yanks, j virtually was certain tq face Guy Bush of the Wrigley field aggregation when hostilities open tomor-j row. Ruffing, the pride of Nokomis. ill., and strike-out king of the ( American league, went through a brisk warm-up yesterday, the! only one of the prolable starling hurlers to work nut. He admitted afterwards he expected to start to-| morrow. Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yanks did not deny that Ruffing would pitch, but he indicated discreetly that he had not made his final selection. While the Athletics were walloping the horsehide, rattling out!

' long drives with new. bright yellow hats, workmen pounded away ■in the stands, hanging the last festoons of bunting. Telegraph | linesmen strung additional wires for press work. Harry Stevens' ! men sacked peanuts atud sliced i rolls for frankfurters. The eve of the series, which 'would cause crowds and stir In' I smaller cities, left no visible ( ; effect on New York. Hotels ab-' _l sorbed the vanguard of world's i I serh*s tourists without strain. ~ More than 60.000 fans were exll pected to attend tomorrow's open-' t I er, and although the three-decked 1 grand stand and high banked I bleachers surrounding the battle-; field will be well filled. Ed Bayow, j JI the Yankees' business manager, fj said he did not expect a complete ! sellout. The lists of umpires and scorers for the series have been completed' .; and approved by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain laindis, under J whose direct jurisdiction the series . I will be played. Bill Klera and; George Magerkurth were named! as National league umpires. Wil.l liam Dineen and Roy Van Gratian , were selected previously by the i American circuit. Bill Hennigan of New York. Wayne Otto of Chi- . cago. and Ray Stockton of St. Louis will be the official scorers. Babe Ruth re-assured any doubt-; ers last night that he was certain! : to play in the series, and that he 1 was in “swell shape.” He was swinging lustily yesterday in batting practice. He broke one of his old bats swinging at Danny Mac-: . I Fayden's curves. I. I . ('oath Shifts His Opening Lineup ! Bloomington, Ind..

He. his wife and their two children were not hit. Fire destroyed a store owned by a former coal miner. Eight members of the detective force on which Williams worked many years were selected as pallbearers at his funeral today. The i riot was another phase of the turmoil occasioned by differences between miners who wish to work at a scale of $5 a day and those who have struck for the old scale of $6.10. The United Mine Workers ratified the $5 wage. The progressive miners union was formed, to urge the higher rate.

T UST one more day and the stoveI league gossip and predictions J will be put to the test, for tomorrow the Yanks and Cubs square iff in the Yankee Stadium in New i fork. Pitching will win the series—or i at least it has in the past—and the > anks -re well fortified in this department of the game. There is ’Lefty” Gcrr tz. brilliant youngster; Johnny A..ei) who has been a sensation this, his first year in the big show, and Charles “Red" Ruffing, who is thejiew strikeout king of the majors. Tacking these youngsters Is the veteran George Pipgras. the inly me..iber of the Yankee staff who has rad previous world series experience. While the Cubs look upon Gomez as the ace of the Yankee staff, they eel that Ruffing will be the hardest man to be . in the series. The Cubs, you know, are a right-handed ball dub. and as such they don’t much fear southpaws, even if the southnew has the stuff that Senor Gonez has. Hence their feeling that voung Mr Ruffing will be the man they must beat. If they can. why the series is in. no less.

Wins Fight ...«. '' ' *■ * r" Max Schmellng, former world's heavyweight champion, scored a technical knockout over Mickey Walker last night when Walker was unable to appear at the start of the ninth round. Schmellng knocked his opponent down twice | in the eighth round. ries. Schmeling was termed winner by technical knock out. Schmeling. always a s|pw starter, hit his stride at the start of the eighth round. The round was less than a minute underway when he 'shot a crushing right jolt to Mlc--1 key’s left temple. Mickey's knees buckled. He fell to the canvas. Gamely Walker rose at the count of six. Blood streamed from his mouth. Schmellng floored him again with •a hard right to the jaw Mickey

Well, Ruffing will have something i to say about that. He's a tough hombre out there on that pitching t mound. He is big enough to stand ’ the gaff—he’s six feet tall and weighs 210 pounds—and he has ' plenty of courage. In addition 1 Charley is rated as one of the best hitting pitchers in either circuit i and it will not be surprising if his bat proves a deciding factor in the series. Charley, born in Granville 111., in 1904. Legan his career with Danville. in the Three-I League. From there he went to the Boston Red ‘ Sox. playing there until 1930 when he was traded to the Yanks. Illness affected his work in 1931, but this season he has had great success. Listed among his victories are three shutouts ana four times during the season he struck out ten batters and once twelve. Quite a record for a youngster. The veteran Pipgras has been christened by his teammates the “pennant producer.” For the third consecutive time, since he has been with the Yanks, the Melancholy Dane has pitched the game that .Vnched the pennant and sent the
