I.—<U.R> -Nation-, al league champions tor the 15th j time, the New York (Hants relaxed today to steel themselves for the toughest assignment in basehall—fl world series battle with the mighty New York Yankees. The subway series will open at Yankee stadium Wednesday. That i gives the Giants three days to play out their National league string and two days of rest. Everyone says the Giants haven't a chance.! buth that's what they were saying about them in the National league race back in August when the Chi-1 eago Cubs were seven games outl in front. The Giants don't give up easily! or they wouldn't be National lea gue champions again. When they I clinched the pennant for the second straight year yesterday ini Philadelphia, they culminated a< drive that started August 3 when : they trailed by seven games. They j played at a .722 percent clip, win-1 ning 39 and losing 15. and nailed | down the flag. i The "old master" himself. King Carl Hubbell, pitched one of his masterpieces to clinch the pennant. They’d been booming Melton to pitch the opener against the Yanks, hut Hubbell's five-hit performance against the Phillies yesterday clinched that assignment for him again. He blanked the Phils until the ninth, and won. 2-1. Dolf Cantilli's ninth inning homer was the only mARVCLS Most Marvels smokers are making more money.

PURDUE MEETS OHIO STATE IN FEATURE CLASH Boilermakers Are Favored To Win Opening Conference Tilt Chicago, Oct. 1. —<U.R>- -The role of co-favorite for the Big Ten football title was at stake today as Purdue invaded Ohio State primed to spring an upset in the first conference game of the season. Winner of tomorrow's lone Big Ten contest will join Minnesota as favorite' to unseat Northwestern. Neither Purdue nor Ohio State meets the Gophers. Minnesota, meanwhile, plays Nebraska at Lincoln in a non-confer-ence game that annually draws nationwide attention, and Northwestern parades its defending champions against lewa State. Indiana, resting up for its shot at Minnesota next week, and lowa, are the only league teams idle Saturday. Michigan battles Michigan State and Wisconsin meets Marquette in bitter intra-state games. Illinois tests its sophomores again with DePaul. lowa plays Bradley, and Chicago invades Vanderbilt. Purdue's hopes of whipping the Buckeyes apparently centered on. Cecil Isbell, the nerveless passer who probably will rank as the best in the conference. Isbell has two adept receivers. Tom Zachary and Don Powell, and unless Ohio State has perfected its overhead defense, the Boilermakers will be off to a flying start. Minnesota does not expect—and consequently may encounter —a repetition of last year's thriller' against Nebraska, in which the l Gophers snatched a touchdown out j of the air in the last 57 seconds. Nebraska's line is big enough to hold Minnesota if it can work up enough frenzy to match the Goph-! ers' tremendous reserve strength.. Minnesota, however, completely! outclasses the big six team in thej backfield, with such backs as Andy i Cram. Rudy Gmitro. Wilbur Moore.; Vic Spadaeinni and Larry Buhler. : Both Wisconsin and Michigan appeared to have their best chance in three vears against their oldtime rivals. YANK PITCHIN6 i CONCEDED EDGE Giant Partisans Argue] Yankees Soft Touch For Southpaws (Editor's note: Following is the second of a series comparing the world series rivals. Tomorrow: the infields). By George Kirksey, (UP Staff Corespondent) New York. Oct. 1. —<U.R> —Analysis of the world series pitching talent affords all sorts s. fpossibilIties. On current form, past world series records and 1937 achievements the Yankees must be coneued the edge, but other factors demand consideration. Chief among these is the Yankees' growing antipathy tor southpaw pitching. National league partisans argue that the Yankees will find Carl Hubbell and Cliff Melton poison. That may be the answer to whether Hubbell and Melton can weave a spell of southpaw magic around the Yankees. . The Yanks appear to have the I No. 1 pitcher for the series in Lefty Gomez, almost certain to i pitch the opening game. American

leaguers argue that if Gomes beat the Giants twice last year he is a cinch to repeat this fall inas much as he is far better. He has won 21 games and lost 10. but his pitching has been even better than his record indicates. Yanks have also Red Ruffing. Bump Hadley and Monte Pearson. Ruffing, who started two games last year and didn't win either, probably will pitch the second game for the Yanks. With 19 victories and seven defeats. Ruffing is enjoying the finest year of his career. < The burden will be considerably greater on the Giants’ pitchers than on the Yanks. Bill Terry knows the Giants can't win without getting good pitching hacked by a tight defense. The Yanks might easily win games behind ragged pitching because of their high-seoring machine Backing up his two southpaws. Terry has Hal Schumacher and Harry Gumbert. ’Schumcaher, knocked out in the second game last year came back to beat the Yanks in the fifth game. o Decatur Bowling League Results » MERCHANT LEAGUE Gamble Store Peterson . 151 155 181 C.
