CUBS, TIGERS ! EVEN CHOICES TO COP SERIES Detroit Team Is Slightly Favored In Gambling Circles Detroit, Oct. 2 <U.R)—The 1935] world series opens at Navin Field today with every element —even the weather —conspiring to make It one of the grandert autumnal classics since Abner Doubleday Invented the national pastime. Assurance of warm. fair weather for the opening game, after several cold wet days, eliminated the only possible imperfection. Chicago and Detroit, champions j of the National and American leagues, respectively, are so evenly matched in this series of dashes for basebr.ll's world championship that even money may be emoted at game time. Early today the home team was an 11-10 ser-, les favorite. A carnival atmosphere of prosperity surrounds the thousands of actual and would-be customers. thronging the city, and for daysj the series has been a sell-out. Completing the true American setting, two husky farmer boys. | Lon Warneke of the Ctlbu and Lynwood Rowe of the Tigers, are the pitchers named to battle it out on the mound where the spot-, light's glare is brightest. When these two leather-necked country lads, born but 80 miles ; apart in the Arka.nsas hills. Rta- ’ their right-handed hurling duel, i Managers Charlie Grimm of the Chicagos and Mickey Cochrane of • the Detroits and the 50.000 spectator—will watch with electri-, tied intensity. Because baseball, history says: as the first game goes, so goes the series. Os 34 series played. 21 have been won by the winner of the first game. So there is no ma-ster-minding today. Grimm is going ont with his best, and Cochrane is meeting him with his top man. The similarity between Warneke and Rowe doesn’t end with their birthplaces. Both are big. rawboned. unimaginative guys. who. when the clutch comes, hi'st their pants, rear back, and fog it through. And both have taken series lickings—Warneke from the Yanks in '32. and Rowe from the i boyo across St. Louis’ tracks last year. I To make room for 50.000. in a field which was built for little i more than half that number, the Detroit owners have overrun the outfield with white pine bleachers . which cascade down from what : was the left field fence, into ground hallowed by the assorted vegetable attack on Ducky Wacky Medwick of the Cards in the last series. As a result, the left field boundary offers a lovely target for any and all batters. As Goose Goelin put it. “any guy without a sore arm could throw a cabbage for a home run. And with his left hand.” Local experts figured out that this intimate barrier is a tremendous advantage for the

| Tigers, for in Greenberg they | have a deud left hitter, and a | brace of capajile place-hitters in I Cochrane and Gehringer. In th** I final practice yesterday, players 'of both clubs were peppering it i with potential two-buggers, ami | clearing it with potential home runs. | I The Detroits are the choice of j the gamblers as well us of the j people. It i« trim that in the I figure books, the Tigers have the edge. Th< y are—if figures don't ! He—better defensively and often- , slvely. But past series have 1 proved that in the ma’d sprint, over seven games, regular season i averages mean nothing, anil the I laurels go to the team with the j fight and breaks, and the tea.m i that happens to be hot at the moment. If ever a team was hot. it is the Cubs who troop out of the dugout today. They are riding - the crest of a streak which rock-| eted them from fourth place to first, which saw them sweep 21 straight games, which saw IS pitchers finish the games they j i started, and which saw them out i i wrestle, out-fight and out-play the ; famed toughies of St. Louis More remarkable, they are not 1 I worn out. They worked on the diamond in the final drill yesterday with t ’.e variety of a college i ■ team. Detroit’s final workout, how-1 ever, was spiritless, and even ,: Manager Cochrane expressed fears ! over their lethargy.

SCALPERS NAB LARGE NUMBER OF CUB DUCATS Scalpers Hold Corner On Chicago World Series Tickets Chicago, Oct. 2 <U.PJ- Scalpers I today had a coftier on world series I tickets in Chicago and 2100 may jbe paid for a reserved seat in Wrigley field Friday. Despite the arrest of three men at the Cubs ball. park, speculators were operating in downtown hotels on rapidly mounting schedules. Scalpers even were buying from each other to capitalize on toe . hysterical demand for tickets. | A bell boy in a loop hotel was I asked if he knew where tickets i could be found. “Certainly.” he said cordially. "I'll locate a man for you.” Two minutes later another bellboy beckoned to his customer. "Here's a seat for each of the i three games for $38," he whispered. "That's only about twice the box office price, but I'm going to get out early. Outside the boys are buying them from each other up to 150 a seat." A taxicab starter outside the ho- ; tel was questioned. “Sure." he said. “I hr.d some a I little while ago. but a couple of ' fellows took them off my hands i for S6O a set." I'p the street a bartender was 'consulted about the ticket situ-1 i ation. "laist night." he said, "there was a union delegate in here who show-1 ed me 100 tickets for the series; that he got by mail. He was of-1 ferilig them for double the money. I [ about S4O a seat for the three games, but he'll probably want a' lot more today. A bartender in a high class hotel was approached. "Have you tried upstairs in the ( lobby, sir?" he inquired. "See one of the gentlemen up there and ■ he'll accommodate you." One of the gentlemen upstairs I was questioned. "Are you registered at the hotel?" he asked. Informed that his questioner was not, he froze up completely intimating that the ho tel was serving its patrons only. But a bellboy around the corner was more communicative. He sent a friend, who produced tickets "Only $25 for each game," he smiled. “Ono set for $75.” "Isn't that a little high?” "If you'll accept my advice, sir. you will buy these now." he said | : ourteously. “By Friday morning when the games here start you won’t be able to buy these tickets : for less than SSO or $75 each. A I friend of mine at Wrigley field sold his tickets for SIOO more than he paid for them before he got a' block away." LON WARNEKE CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE ; Warneke Hied to Fox.
