LOSE 19 GAMES TO PORTSIDERS

SUPPORTERS of the Giants in the World Series get a lot of comfort out of the success of southpaws against the. Yankees. . . Joe McCarthy’s American League champions have dropped 19 games to left-handed pitchers this year and the National League champions have two starting portsiders ‘in King Carl Hubbell and Magnificent Mountaineer Melton. . . . And in the bullpen will be a third leftie, Al Smith. .", . But the Yankees are quick to point to their record of 24 victories gained at the expense of southpaw chuckers and use this to defend what appears to be their weakness on: the offense. Sa Hubbell and Melton are not just two left-handers, they are the tops in the National loop and are approaching the classic in good pitching form and physical condition.

King Carl Turns In One of His Best Games, Yielding Only Five Hits.

By GEORGE KIRKSEY United Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, Oct 1.—National League champions for the 15th time, the New York Giants relaxed today to steel themselves for the toughest assignment in baseball—a World Series battle with the mighty New York Yankees. The subway series will. open at Yankee Stadium Wednesday. That gives the Giants three days to play out their National League string and two days of rest. Everyone says tt. Giants haven't a chance, but that’s what they were saying about them in the National League race

| back in August when the Chicago

Cubs were seven games out in front. The Giants don’t give up easily or they wouldn’t be National League champions again. When they clinched the pennant for the second straight year yesterday in Philadelphia, they culminated a drive that started Aug. 3 when they trailed by seven games. They played at a .722 per cent clip, winning 39 and losing 15. 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, but 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 Camilli’'s ninth-inning homer was the only run made off him. Both Giant runs were scored on long flys by McCarthy with the bases filled. With

Carl Hubbell . . . He gives the pennaii ball an affectionate peck.

By RICHARD M’'CANN NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—The New York Giants were a founierig s sec-ond-place ball club when a sudden hot flash of genius happened to Mr. Will Terry on the afternoon of Aug. 3. . No one thought the day would be memorable. The Giants were go-

ing to play the Reds at Crosley® Field and a skimpy. assemblage of some 2837 customers had gathered for the affair. And that was all. Just another ball game.

But down in the dressing room just before the game Mr. Terry had his spell—his not flash - of genius . “Hey, Mel,” he yelled, did the manager of the New York Giants, “Hey, Mel, you play third today.” Mel - grunted uh-huh, the other Giants said what’s-the-idear, and the announcer informed the fans that Mr. Mel Ott, the right fielder, would play third base. Nothing happened during the afternoon to make the switch a redletter day in history. . . . For dramatic purposes it would be nice to be -able to relate. that with Mr. Ott out there at ‘third

the Giants were invincible and chased the Reds off the ball field. '| And that Mr. Ott, fired with a great new zeal, snapped out of his slump and bashed four or five or even one baseball over the fence. And that he covered more ground than Kate Smith's’ shadow as he scurried here and there, snatching surefire hits out of the air and off the grass and turning them into putouts. . . . Ah, no, ’twas nothing like that. The giants lost, Mr, Ott went hitless, and he nearly spiked himself snaring the one grounder he managed to get his hot cluteh on. But—and Mr. Printer make ‘this: a big BUT. .

The Giants won the next day

Bears Rely On -Tamulis

NEWARK, N. J, Oct. 1 (U. P.).—= The Newark Bears will call on Vito Tamulis to halt the fast-moving Columbus Red Birds in the third game of the Little World Series tonight— a best of seven-game series. The Bears, who won the International League pennant by ‘25% games and who captured the Gove

: 'ernor's Cup playoff series with

eight straight victories, were two down to the Red Birds. They lost their second game of the series, 5-4, in an 1ll-inning battle last night. The Red Birds will pitch Morton Cooper tonight, a hurler who won nine of his last 10 starts. Tamulis, once a New York Yankee, has won his last 11 starts.

+ « « and the next . .. and the next. And the second-place team of

Aug. 3 gradually became the pen-nant-winner it is today.

Another important development in the Giants’ hustle down the home stretch was Johnny McCarthy’s sudden rash of hitting. Young McCarthy was batting precisely 257 when the Giants went West the last time to defend their slim lead. "When they came back he was batting .274. He had hit for .336 on the road —and when it counted. , . “I'd lead the league in hitting,” says Mr. McCarthy, “if they'd extend the season until Thanksgiving.” As a fielder, Johnny rates quite highly. He’s a good man around

first.. He can catch a butterfly.

The Giants second base combination is as good as ever. Whitehead gets everything that’s coming to him,’ and much of what is going away. He's not such a much as a hitter, but for every run he fails to drive in he keeps two from scoring. Dick Bartell is just about the best shortstop in baseball today. A sure fielder, dangerous: hitter, shrewd tactician, and fiery fellow, he's all you could want.

NEXT—The outfield.
