WORLD SERIES OPENS TODAY IN NEW YORK Pitching Against Slugging Feature Os 1936 Classic N*w York. Sept. 30 (U.Rz Raghall's big tent opened today with one of the greatest attractions in world series annals — the perfect pitcher against the deadliest hitters. Carl Hubbell, lean, left handed peean grower from Meeker, Onia., stood like Horattus at the bridge against, the Yankees murderers' row which spread destruction through the American league, and wrecked complete pitching staffs with their power. It was the supreme climax of 1936 baseball — the Giants, tightlipped and grim, battling behind the cool, calculating efficiency of Hubbell, winner of 16 straight, against the swaggering Yankee wrecking crew, loaded with TNT from lead-off man right on down th3 line through the pitcher. Charlie (Redl Ruffing, a 210-pound coalminer from Mokomis. 111. Only one flaw loomed in this dramatic setting — the weather. The forecast was for overcast I skies with probable rain and con-. tinned cool weather. I'nmindful of the weather forecast 52.000 fans headed for the Polo grounds, hope of the Giants, to witness the epic struggle between Hubbell, armed with his baffling screwball, and the Yankees big berthas—iron man Lou Gehrig, who has blasted 49 home runs the past season. Joe Di Maggio, the fearless freshman with the lethal bat. Bill Dickey, leading hitter of a team of hitters, keeneyed Tony Lazzeri and George Selkirk, despoiler of many a pitcher's paradise. While baseball's most momentous question—can a pitching titan overcome a team of super-hitters’— moved into its zero hour of solution. the maddest pre-game rush for world series tickets the national pastime ever has experienced was under way Bureau of niternal revenue agents were unable to cope with the situation. Speculators were asking, and getting S2O for single game $5.50 tickets. Strips of tickets for three games, with a face value of $16.50. were bringing S6O. All rserved seats for the first six games have been sold for several days. At 9 a. m. 17.000 unreserved grandstand seats, 4.000 bleacher seats, and 3.000 tickets for standees were placed on sale at tPeho ?motod- etaoin ETAOIo at the Polo grounds. In order to keen these tickets from falling into the hands of scalpers the purchasers were required to enter the park immediately. Betting odds continued to favor the Yanks to win the series. The man in the street was betting 8-5 on the power of Joe McCarthy's sluggers, and getting plenty of action. Jack Doyle. Broadway bett- 1 Ing commissioner, also quoted the Yanks favorites, and reported the heaviest betting on the world series in ten years.

Sport Parade (By Hsnry McLemore) Ry Henry McLemore, United Press Staff Correspondent. New York. Sept. 30 (U.R) —The I Giants iu six! That’s my nickel's worth on the! 1 nickel series which begins today' ;on the banka of the rubbishy! harlem. And 1 wouldn't advise you to . risk more than a nickel on the selection for as you may know I have been in a temporary slump -1 as a forecaster for the last de -cade. My last hasebajl winner was : Cincinnati in 1919. and the series : | had to be thrown to get me home. My pick of the Giants was made ' without effort. I didn't .look np a I single hatting average, compare a single fielding record, or study a single heajth chart. I didn't even 1 ring up the rival managers and i ask their unbiased opinions. ' Because I knew Hubbell the ! Carlos would be up on the little 1 , hill for the Giants in two games and maybe three and that’s reason ' 1 enough for me. I don't go so far back in baseball —I can't write of ' Matty and Bender and Flank —but I’ve seen a few of the hot 'uns and when th* chips are stacked up high I’ll gamble with the long- ! legged, dose-mouthed Oklahoman and that swallow-diving screwball of bis. With that baseball in his hand. I Carlos is my idea of a tough guy. . 1 For the magic in that left arm is , matched by the granite in his , heart. They've yet to send a man .' to the plate he wouldn't look in , the eye and let him have it. I know that, and so do you if you , 1 saw that all-star game in '34 when, with those baggy pants of his . Hopping about hie ankles, he fired ’ that hot and cute one of his down ( the slot to mow down Ruth. Geh- , rig. Simmons. Foxx and Cronin. And if you happened to miss , that one, but caught the 1933 . world series in Washington, you '; still know it. For Hub got two down there, and the manner in which he stilled the bats of such ! 1 busters as Goslin the 'ol goose of . | the Potomac, Cronin. Manush and ! Myers, was so smooth and honey- ’ ed it bordered on the downright artistic. Os course, there’s the chance ■ that he won't be able to weave . his magic this time, because no- ': body's string is endless. But no ' one can call you a sucker for 1 betting he will. Hubbell, as modest as they come, doesn't believe he's got the stuff he had three , years ago. But the 1936 records , give him the lie. You don’t win 26 by prayer and luck alone. You've got to have just about ali i it takes. The record book isn't all that gives the lie to Hubbell. Bill Ter- ’ ry says he never had more, and if ’ Bill is right even the homicide 1 squad of ‘he Yankees isn’t a good ' bet to heat him. Did I hear someone say that , one pitcher — even a Hubbell —! wasn’t enough to win a series? ! That's right, but a guy like Hubbell can make it powerful tough for the other side to take the j marbles. Give Hubbell two and 1 the Yanks must take four out of — ..
