TEAMSENROUTE TO CUBS PARK Charlie Root And George Pipgras Slated to Pitch Saturday’s Game “Chicago, Sept. 30.— (U.R) — The v,,„. York Yankee:;’ heavy artil’crv was silent today and the rout of she Chicago Cubs was interrupted while the world series cast was moved from Yankee stadium to Wrigley Field. The wearisome, one-s;u<-u world series of 1932, bereft of baseball drama and thrills in the first two games at New York, will be resumed tomorrow witli the Yankees holding two victories and needing on'y two more to capture their fourth world championship. ' After 20 hours spent in travel the two clubs were to arrive today, the Cubs at 12:45 p. m. CST., and the Yankees at 1:55. For the Yankees the intermission was an unwelcome respite from their triumphant march over the b< :udd ed National league champions. , For the Cubs it was a great relief from the sad events of the past two days and an opportunity to gather their forces for a spirited cbmeback in the friendly surroundings at Wrigley Field, where they have scored their greatest triumphs. The Yankees have the Cubs on the run, and plan to keep them there until they close out another Wir'd series victory in four straight games —a feat they accomplished fa 1927 against the Pirates and again in 1328 against the Cardinals. But the Yanks may find the Cubs at home a radically different opponent from the blundering, almost pathetic ball club which fell before the American league champions at Yankee stadium. 12-6 and 5-2. • The surroundings at Wrigley Field have a strange effect on the Cubs. They play like a well-oiled, smooth functioning machine on

— - i theit home grounds.s with their i pitchers performing to the peak of I their ability and their hitters swinging deadly bludgeons. Wrigley ; Field is a tonic to tffie Cubs. The I . Cubs never have been terrors on the road, and their disastrous in-i , vasion of Yankee stadium was thoroughly true to form. It is well that the Cubs are more : powerful at home than abroad for 1 there never was a time when they , needed great pitching, timely hilt- > Ing and stout defensive play more than the present. With their two most formidable ! pitchers. Guy Bush and lam Warn- | 1 eke. beaten, their batsmen — with! the shining exception of Riggs ■ Stephenson — rendered helpless by j the Yankee pitchers, Red Ruffing : , and Vernon Gomez, the Cubs' out- i look is far more dismal than it was i when they made their great come-1 back to win the National league; pennant. Past performances show the Cubs | have performed their best when ■ .' the odds against them were the 1 [greatest. They are not quitters, i They proved that when they won I the National league pennant. But ' they are going to have to prove it , all over again in the next three games at Wrigley Field. Right now they are very much in retreat. Two world series pitchers of oth-> er years have been selected to on-1 pose each other in the third game. ; George Pipgras. the Dennison, la.. ! farmer boy who became a great pitcher under the tutelage of the I late Miller Huggins, will be on the i .firing line for the Yankees. Charlie Root, out of Middletown. . 0.. who reached his greatest fame ' under the direction of Joe Me- J earthy, when the Yankee manager was at the helm of the Cubs, will I attempt to stem the New York ad- ; vance. for the Cubs. Pipgras has never lost a world series game and Root has never I won one. Pipgras beat the Pirates I . in 1927 and the Cardinals in 1925. allowing on’y 11 hits in two games. Root was beaten by the Athletics , in the opening game of the 1929 series, 3-1. and hammered out of! the box in that fatal in-run rally!

‘ TF IT hadn’t been for HartI nett—!” X Many times in after-battle, clubhouse discussions during that long and a-duous drive to the pennant the Cubs have had occasion to pay the above tribute to their doughty backstop, “Gabby" Hartnett. For “Gabby’s” heavy bat played an important part in pulling some of those close, crucial games out of the fire “Gabby” has been around in the big show for some time. He started with Wooster, of the Eastern League, in 1921, and is now finishing his eleventh season with the Cubs. During that long span “Gabby” has compiled a batting average o f close to .295. Rack in 1929 he suffered an injury to his arm and was out of the lineup for most of that season, but in all the other years sine 1924 he has been behind the bat in 100 or more games each season. “Gabby’s” best year was in 1930 when he caught 141 games

the A's put on in the 'th inning of the fourth game if the same series i But Root had t...ory almost in his grasp in both games. He held th<> A s to 1 run a homer by Jimmy Foxx—until the 9th inning of the first game, and had allowed only three hits until the bottom dropped out in the seventh inning of the fourth game. Root js a curve ball pitcher, with a quick delivery. He used to have dazzling speed but uses it conser'ativcly in his declining years. He has control. Pipgras won 16 games and lost 9' during the season, and Root won' 15 and lost Id. Each is 33 years ’ old. The weather forecast for tomor-

The big fel- : low. he towei six feet and one inch ; in height and weighs about 190 i pounds, is sure to be a tower of strength in the Cub attack and de- . sense during the series. i In Bill Dickey the Yankees boast the best catcher in the American 1 League and pr bably the best in the game today. He is half an inch talier than Hartnett, weighs 185, and has aboi t seven years the best of “Gabby” in age. having first seen the light of day at Bastrop, La , in 1907. Unlike “Gabby” Bill bats left-handed.

He joined the Yanks that same yeai but wa> sent back to Little Rock for more seasoning In 1929 he again joined the Yanks and since that time habeen the first-string catcher of the club. Dickey, like Hartnett, is a consistent and dangerous hitter having compiled an average of over .300 in each o.' the four campaignhe has played with New York During th’ year. Bill was out of the game for one month, on suspension, for striking outfielder Reynolds of the Washington Club and breaking the latter’s jaw Bill owes much of his success in baseball to the patience and coaching of Manager Joe McCarthy, of the Yanks. McCarthy nas-ed on to the youngster much of his knowledge and found Bill an apt pupil. CaerrlfM. 1131 CiM XMlaw Siadlrau let

j were thrown back upon our marI kets and prices fell still more." The nominee said "the Grundy' ! tariff has largely extinguished the j I export markets for our Industrial [and our farm surplus. It has pre- [ j vented the payment of public and! [ private debts to tw and the inter'est thereon: increasing the taxation jto meet the expense of our govern-1 'ment, and finally it has driven our I factories abroad." Roosevelt dec’ared the depression in this country American-made,’ traceable to the high tariff and im'provident loans to backward and 'cripple countries To blame the 'foreign victims, as lie charged the! Republicans were doing whs call [ed by the governor "the boldest; alibi in the history of politics." i To offset these conditions Roose-1 veil offered his cure, “a coninefl-l !tive tariff which means one which; will put the American producers on a market equa'ity with their foreign competitors. One that equalizes the difference in the cost j of production — not a prohibitory, tariff back of which domestic pro-1 iducers may combine to practice ex-) tortion on the American public.” > i The governor asserted labor need i have no apprehensions concerning I 'such a course—"for labor knows! by long and bitter experience that the highly protected industries pay! not one penny higher wages than; the non protected industries, such as the automobile industry.” To i accomplish this revision the gover- ■ nor sugy- international nego•; tiations as the first and most de-> sirable method, and the agency of the tariff commission. The old method of barter was offered as > lone way tills proposed program: could be carried out. The basis of the Roosevelt farm i 1 policy was summed up by the governor asa fellows: • "First, to seek relief for the farmer from the burden of bis expense account and second, to try to re-: store the purchasing power of his i do’lar by getting for him higher! prices for the products of the soil.”'
