LEFTY GOMEZ IS SLATED TO PITCH TODAY Southpaw Scheduled To Hurl Against Giants Today New York, Oct. 2. (U.RI Yankee artillery those siege guns which roared destruction during the American league campaign but became toy cannons before Carl Hubbell's wizardry wheeled back into world series action at the Polo grounds today, hoping to shell away Giants' one game lead. Unless they find the range before President Roosevelt, attending his first world series game as ch’eT executive, and 32,000 other! spectators today, the Yankees will plummet toward a calamity which would rock the baseball world. Even yesterday, when the two I rivals were idle because of wet grounds, fandom, recalling the l Yanks' impotency in the first game, i asked: "Can the Yankees really hit or, is their reputation founded on in- j ferior pitching?"

Maggio, and' the rest of the Yanks who were handcuffed try Hubbell, planned to answer that question with their big bats. With king Carl Hubbell, heir to the pitching throne of Christy Mutthewaon, iron man Joe McCarthy, Rube Mar guard. and other giant immortals, safely in the shadow of the dug out. the Yunka had their chance to prove that it us Hubbell's must- ( erful pitching and not their own collapse at the plate which caused their downfall in Wednesday's rain-soaked opener. Schumacher moved up to the firing line today armed with the only overhand "sinker bail' »> baseball in an effort to repulse the Yankees' big berthas for the second straight time It has been ten years since the Yanks lost two world series games in succession way back in 192t> when the Cardinals won the sixth and seventh games and the world title. Even though beaten once, the i Yanks still retain their swagger- ’ ing confidence as exemplified by Manager Joe McCarthy’s willing- . ness to gamble with Vernon (Lefty l Gomez, of Rodeo. Calif., ■problem child of the Yankee pitchling staff throughout the year From one of the greatest south | paws In the majors in 1934 when I he won 26 games. Gomez slumped | into mediocrity. Gomez has been aching to pitch 'against the Giants. He was disappointed when he did not get the ■ opening day assignment. If Gomez is as good as he thinks ihe is, the world series will be I deadlocked at one game each as it i moves to Yankee stadium for the i next three games, starting tomor- ■ row. I The Giants became known as a

lucky team during the closing days of the pennant race. And luck seems still to he riding with them. Yesterday's postponement was it two-fold blessing for them. It l given Hubbell tin extra day’s rest, I and means he Is likely to pitch three games in the series. It also enabled Manager Bill Terry to rest his crippled knee for another day. And the Giants need Terry directing them on the field. The Yanks, however, refuse to he stampeded by bud breaks. They still have supreme confidence in their ability to crush the Giants. "I think our boys will get going today and square things up," said Manager McCarthy. "Once we start hitting this series will take on a different aspect. We have had some breaks go against us but those things always even up. Hubbell bothered us as expected but we are by no means ready to conceTle thut he is invincible.'’ With Schumacher, u right hander. and Gomez, a southpaw, occupying the mound, shifts were made in both batting orders. George Selkirk. Yanks' rightfielder, who hit the homer which scored the first and only earned run ever made off Hubbell in the world series. moved back to sixth place in the batting order, with Jake Powell seventh and Tony Lazzeri eighth. Hank Leiber replaced the lefthanded hitting Jimmy Ripple in Centerfield for the Giants. Leiber, a right handed batter, will bat in the cleanup position with Mel Ott dropping to fifth, where Ripple hit in the opener. Betting odds favored the Yanks for the second game at 6 to 5, with odds on the series 9 to 10 and take your pick. These are the odds of the man in the street.
