RESERVED SEATSIN. | - BOTH STADIA GONE; » SOALPERS AT WORK “Indications Point to Fresh At- tack on World Series Records “EXPERTS FAVOR GIANTS ‘Public Expects Series to Go Six "Games, With Hubbell in Hero Role By ALAN GOULD (Associated Press Sports Editor) New York, Sept. 29.—(?}—Two base- ball clubs that were picked to finish third this year in their respective pennant races will start the big- money battle Wednesday in the first all-New York series since Babe Ruth “and John McGraw ended a spectacu- ler three-year rivalry in 1923. On their way back to the top this year, by sharply contrasting but vhevertheless effective methods, the Yankees and Giants not only upset several barrels of baseball “dope” but «hung up a flock of records. It ts likely there will be a fresh attack on world series marks. . All signs point to basebail’s most ;Prosperious season since pre-depres- sion days. » All reserved seats at both the Yan- kee Stadium and Polo Grounds have been sold. This means that more tha _half the capacity of each park already has been disposed of at top prices of $5.50 for reserved seats and $6.60 for box seats, for six games. Lines already -have been formed in front of the win- dows at the Polo Grounds where 24,- 000 unreserved seats will go on sale ‘Wednesday morning. The stadium can accommodate 71,- “167 fans, including some 6,000 stand- ees, The Polo Grounds capacity 1s "51,856. If the series goes no more than ‘four games, the aggregate receipts twill be around $1,000,000, including ¢the $100,000 already in the bank for tthe sale of radio rights. ' The general expectations ts that it will take six games to reach a deci- sion, with Yankee power arrayed against a Giant defense that features _ the great Carl Hubbell. A full seven- game battle would send the “gate” to $1,500,000, as compared with the Tecord of $1,207,864, set 10 years ago :in seven games by the Yankees and Cardinals. ‘The players, as usual, share only in the first four games. Whether Manager Joe McCarthy decides to send Vernon (Lefty) Gomez against Hubbell in the opener or shifts to his righthanded ace, Charles Rufus (Red) Ruffing, the Giants will be favorites to make a victorious start on their own stamping grounds. ‘This writer favors the chances of the National League champions for ithe following reasons: (1) That Hal Schumacher and Freddy Fitzsimmons, “with their “downers,” will combine ~with the peerless Hubbell to give the Giants more consistently effective Auurling than any three men the Yan- kees can send to the box: (2) That the Yankee advantage of virtually 20 points in team batting, over: the season, is misleading because it was compiled at the expense of “softer” pitching; (3) That the Giants’ more Tesourceful and steadier defense makes up for the comparative weak spots in the batting order; and (4) ‘That Memphis Bill Terry is more apt to have the right managerial “hunches” than Buffalo Joe McCar- » thy.

The powerful Gophers, scarcely off the train that carried them back from a 14 to 7 triumph over the stubborn Washington Huskies, were sent im-j mediately to Northrup Field to lodsen up muscles and get ready for two weeks of hard drill before tackling Nebraska Oct, 10. Only One Serious Injury i The Minnesotans were bruised in the Huskies battle, but only one injury was regarded as serious. Charles Schultz, sophomore guard who played brilliantly, may be out for the season as the result of a knee injury. Andy Uram, Whitman Rork and Dwight were slightly hurt but will be ready within a few days. Chicago's Maroons looking ahead to Vanderbilt Saturday, scrimmaged and studied pass defense formations, while at Northwestern the Wildcats went through a dummy scrimmage and blocking drill. Coach Bob Zuppke ex- plained new plays to his Illinois squad and staged an hour's signal practice. Wisconsin Hopeful Things continued to look up at Wisconsin, where the Badgers whipped South Dakota State con- vincingly last Saturday. Roy Bellin, flashy sophomore halfback, definitely became eligible. Coach Harry Stuhl- dreher will have all his men ready for Marquette. A new set of plays was given Iowa's eleven by Coach Ossie Solem to sup- plement the straight football’ used | against Carleton last week, in pre- paration for the Big Ten opener with Northwestern Saturday. The injury jinx harassed Indiana, which has six players out of action with colds and muscle strains. Sev-j eral regulars will not be used against Centre college Saturday. At Lafay- ette, Purdue's Boilermakers, whipped | Ohio university 47 to 0, were warned j against over-confidence, and at Michigan the Wolverines were drilled | on pass defense. The Michigan State | eleven, which invades Ann Arbor next Saturday, completed seven out of 10! tosses in its opener against Wayne university. At South Ben, Coach Elmer Layden of Notre Dame was dissatisfied with blocking and spent a large portion of Ohio State drilled on ball handling, with a light rain giving the Buckeyes @ hard afternoon.

With their long range hitters again providing the winning punch, the Brewers took their third straight game here last night, 3 to 1, Home runs by Chet Laabs and George De- tone accounted for all the Milwaukee runs while .Lanky Luke Hamlin held the International League flag- winners to five hits, including three of the scratch variety. Manager Ray Schalk pinned Buf- falo’s fading hopes today on the sturdy right arm of Blil Harris, while Manager Allan Sothorn of Milwaukee said he might use either Garland Braxton, a lefthander, or Joe Heving,| righthander who was knocked out of. the box by the Bison in the first game. An overflow crowd of 15,212 last night brought the attendance total for the three games here to 36,333, As in Sunday's game, Brewer home runs decided the issue las: night. Laabs hit a homer in the fourth in- ning with no one on base, and Detore drove in another in the seventh after Lin Storti had doubled into the crowd. | Reach Semi-Finals | In City Golf Meet: Cox, Slattery, Lawless and Ol- son Still in Battle for Honors Semi-finals in the Bismarck City Golf tournament were reached Sun- day when James Slattery, Ed Cox, Elmer Olson and Tom Lawless won their first matches in the champion- | ship flight.
