DICKEY GIVES YANKEES EDGE . Dickey’s Hitting Gives Yanks Edge In Catching Position (Editor's note: following Is the first of a series comparing the I world series rivals). By Georg Kirksey il'nited Press Staff Correspondent I New ork. Sept. 30 —(I'P) Bill Dickey's big bat gives the New York Yankees the first world series vote in analyzing the rival <atching staffs for the ••subway" series opening at Yankee Stadium Wednesday. Hickey is one of the Yanks' big Berthas, with a batting average iof .327 and a runs ‘batted in mark 135 The Giants have better balance behind the bat thie year than a year | ago Gits Mancuso and Harry’ Dunning will divide the catching. Manclt- | so caught all but one Inning in last votr's series. Danning's amazing improvement Is one of the main reasons why the Giants have sewed up the pennant. Hanning is a right-hand hitter, with an average of .288 and 51 runs driven in. He's a hustler and a steady receiver. His work after Manntso broke his finger In midseas, m saved the Giants from disaster. Panning will catch the Giants' two lefties. Carl Hubbell and cliff Melton, are on the m.iind. Mancuso has a batting average of .280 with 38 runs batted hi. He's slow of foot but a Nagey catcher whose gr atest value is in getting the maximum out of a pitener. He cute aught Dickey in the 1936 series. although the Yanks receiver was given the edge in the advance dope. Dickey was the big flop in the Yanks' batting order last year hitting only 120. Mancusa claimed he had Bill's number and made him go after a lot of ad pitches. Hubbelt Goose-egged Dickey both times he faced him. while Fitzsimmons blanked him in the third game. Dickey was the only Yankee who went hitless in the last game in which his teammates clubbed out 17 hits. Several American League manage:s rate Dickey ae the most dang rous man in the Yankee lineup in a clinch. At least two of them. Jim Bottomley of the Browns and Bucky .■ >• nak s. would pitch to Gehrig and walk Dickey in a tight spot whenever the riutation called for one of them to be passed. If the Giants can handcuff Dickey a- effectively as they did last year their chan.es of winning the world s championship will be improved. STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W L. Pet.

Here is a man who not only rides on the gravy train—he drives it. takes up tickets, sells hot coffee and sandwiches, and assists all passengers on and off. The tipoff on the sinecure he has is the fact that one of the "hardest" phases of his position is to understudy Izm Gehrig at first base. And as you know. Gehrig hasn't missed a game since —well, all 1 know is that he has played right through the administration of Cleveland. McKinley. Roosevelt. Taft. Wilson. Harding. Coolidge. Hoover, and is apparently good for three or four more presidents. But to get back to Otto Saltzgaver. who. much to his credit, has discarded that Otto Hamlin finery in favor of just jack. Saltzgaver this year will receive between $5.000 and $7,000 in salary. But that isn't all — the Yankees won the pennant and will drag down the world series swag, which should be worth in the neighborhood of $6,500 to each player. So. for his season's work. Saltzgaver will be paid a total of around $12,000. As the season is only six months long he will be paid at the

Saltzgaver. Here it is: He has played in 15 games. That's not very many. The Yau kees. through today, have played 148 games. Saltzgaver has been to bat only five times all year, and two of those trips came yesterday in the second game of a double-header. He has made but one hit and scored but five runs.
