Yankees Capture World Series by _ 4-2 Win Sunday Organized Baseball Considering Plowing Every Third Yank Under By GAYLE TALBOT New York, Oct. 11.—(#)—What baseball needs is a program to plow under every second or third Yankee and give the game back to the com- mon players. Every club in the American Jeague would vote for it. The Giants, home- runned to death, 4 to 2, in the fifth and final game of the world series Sunday at the Polo Grounds, would stuff the ballot boxes. If something like that isn’t done, it will be difficult to generate much enthusiasm in the 1938 world series next October, when the Yankees, no doubt, will prepare to take another luckless National League team apart. Twice before the Yankees reeled off to beat that kind of baseball. The Giants, on the other hand. failed dismally in almost every de- partment. They made nine errors, every member of the infield contri- buting at least one and Dick Bartell, their sparkplug shortstop, muffing three. Neither did they hit when it counted. Carl Hubbell, old reliable, saved them the humiliation of a four-straight licking by holding the Yanks to six hits in Saturday's game At that, some felt Manager Joe McCarthy was mostly being kind to dumb animals when he didn't “sic” Lefty Gomez on them again in the fourth. He never would have started Bump Hadley in a tight series. The aplomb with which Gomez tamed the Giants Sunday after Mel Ott scored their two runs with a homer in the third indicated the California con- quistador could have done it a day earlier just as easily. Plane Intrigues Lefty Not that the Giants didn’t threaten three straight pennants before taper- ing off. They have now been vic- torious in their last five world series eppearances and won six altogether, which tops any other club in base- tall history. Up to this year the Yankees were tied with the Red Sox and Athletics, at five world cham- pionships each. They have now won 20 of their last 23 inter-league games. Only the Giants have been able to give the Yankees any sort of an argu- ment at all in the world series, and that debate hasn’t lasted very long in two years. Maybe the National League ought to consider breaking off relations entirely. Aren't Helping Baseball In all seriousiness, Monday, how- ever, baseball men generally agreed the Yankees aren’t doing the game any good, and that some means of putting graphite under the jugger- naut’s wheels would be welcomed by every manager and owner in the two major leagues—except Col. Jacob Ruppert. The colonel, who is reputed to be down to his last 17 million in ready cash and negotiable securities, was elmost heart-broken because his boys failed to make it four straight on aturday. Carl Hubbell deprived him of that satisfaction. And Sunday, when the Giants, two runs behind, ‘were batting in the last of the ninth, ‘the colonel buried his eyes in his arms ‘end wouldn’t look. It was painful, indeed, and everybody felt sorry for the beer baron. ‘The Giants, steam-rollered for the second straight year, offered no solu- tion of the Yankee problem. Nobody fn their dressing room moaned: “the lucky stffs.” Bill Terry, their man- ager, could not recall ever having seen a greater team than the Yan- kees, nor one as great in every re- ‘spect. The only thing the Giants said was that they it have seen better um- that that of Red Ormsby, who was behind the plate in the’first and final games. Some were certain they had seen better umpiring. But none suggested the better team hadn't won. Yanks Had Class That would have been—to put it ‘mildly—ridiculous. The Yanks fairly bulged with surplus class from the moment the series started on Wed- nesday. Their hitters were dynamite fin the clinches, their pitching fast and furious, and they went through the series without committing an error. No one has discovered yet how 238,142 Fans See 1937 World Series Lazzeri Leads Both Teams With +400; Yanks Field Flaw- lessly By SID FEDER ‘New York, Oct. 11.—()—The “You- Never-Can-Tell” society got together ‘Monday in the wake of the World Ser- fles, and decided baseball's post-sea- Gon classic is still as unpredictable as ever, After looking over the wreckage left by the Yankees in their four-games- to-one conquest of their local rivals, the Giants, they pointed as evidence tc these developments: 1—Tony Lazzeri led both teams in batting with 400 mark for the five games, and played flawlessly afield. 2—The Yankees played 1.000 ball on the defense for a new all-time record, while the National fed nine errors. 3—Babe Ruth’s record of 33 runs fou Wear for a six-series’ mark of 35. 4—Pitchers Carl Hubbell, Cliff Mel- ton, Hal Schumacher, et al, were pre- meries selections to outdo their ‘Yankee rivals, Lefty Gomez, Red Ruffing and Monte Pearson, Yet Hubbell was the Giant flinger to last the full nine while Gomez, with two vic- and Ruffing and Pearson with ‘one each, stole the elbowing show from ell but King Carl. him mildly and go down struggling. In successive innings, the sixth and the seventh, they put a couple of men on the sacks and got their chilly fol- lowers all excietd. But each time Lefty reared back and blew them down with his fast ball. It was Lefty's fifth straight world series triumph. He appeared at times to be more in- trigued by an airplane sailing around over the arena than in his pitching problems, if any. He's crazy about airplanes. Cliff Melton, the mountaineer upon whom Terry had pinned his hopes, again went the way of all freshman flingers in the world series. The Yanks knocked him loose in five in- nings. Homers by Myril Hoag and Joe DiMaggio in the second and third frames softened him up. Joe’s mighty wallop smote a flag pole on top of the left field stands, or it might have been going yet. Lazzeri’s prodigious triple, followed by Gomez’s scratch single and a Lou Gehrig double to center got Melton excused for the afternoon in the fifth. The Giants, intriguingly enough, got some of their best spot pitching of the series after that. Al Smith, who hadn’t been permitted to start & game, allowed the Yankees only one hit in the next two innings, and Don Brennan, the oldest and weigh- tiest Giant of ‘hem all, matched his performance in the last two. o momen Bebe eococooooooH Hoda!

Pitt-Fordham Game May Settle Football Supremacy in East Nebraska, Wisconsin, North- western Stand Out as Middle West's Best By HERBERT W. BARKER New York, Oct, 11—(7)—Slowly the’ football cream is rising to the top 60 that Monday, after the first three weeks of the season, a more definite picture to sectional championship possibilities is taking form — subject to change without notice, let it be added hastily. On the basis of results to date, here's where the strength seems to lie: East—Pitt and Cornell have dem- onstrated their right to a place in the front ranks with Army, Navy, Yale, Boston College, Harvard and Holy Cross up there or thereabouts. Middle West — Nebraska, Wiscon- sin and Northwestern must be given the place of honor, at least for the time being. Notre Dame, Ohio State, Minnesota and Purdue may come back from defeat or tie to gain championship recognition. South—Duke of the southern con- ference and Alabama, Louisiana State, Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Geor- gia and Georgia Tech of the South- eastern are the current leaders, Far West—Texas A. and M. and Baylor look most formidable. Rocky Mountain—Colorado is the one to watch. Prospects on leading ergeeemenis seem to be about as fol- lows: Pitt, Fordham to Clash East — The eastern championship may well be settled when Pitt and Fordham collide in the Polo Grounds, both hoping they don’t play their third successive scoreless tie. Pitt tripped its 1936 conqueror, Duquesne, last week on Marshall Goldberg's 77- yard run on the second play of the game. Fordham swamped Waynes- burg, 48-0. - Cornell’s sensational array, 20-7 victor over Princeton with Whit Baker once more playing a leading role, collides with Syracuse. Yale sent Penn crashing to defeat, 27-7 and will play Army which ground out a Pee 21-18 victory over Columbia. Navy, scoring three touchdowns in the fourth quarter to rout a gallant Virginia team, will find out whether Harvard is as good as it looks, An| 1 effective passing game carried Har- vard to a 34-7 triumph over Brown.

Tennessee, which played Duke to a soreless tie at Dur- ham, will be making its first con- ference start. Bears Coast's Best The other “league” pairings send Louisiana State against Mississippi, Auburn, which played scoreless draws with both Tulane and Villanova, against Mississippi State, and Florida against Sewanee. la = Tech, which flashed real power in a 32-0 rout of Kentucky, meets Duke. Ken- tucky plays Washington and Lee, out- pointed 6-0 by West Virginia. Far West — California’s Golden Bears stand out as the only unde- feated team within the Pacific Coast conference. U.O.L.A. was badly out- played by Stanford, 12-7, and Wash - ington was upset by Oregon State’s Passes, 6-3. California, meanwhile, rolled over Washington State 27-0. The outstanding game this week pits Southern California against Ore- gon. The Trojans upset favored Ohio State 13-12, Last Saturday Oregon re- vealed tremendous scoring punch in @ 40-6 rout of Gonzaga. Rocky Mountain—Colorado, Utah, Western State and Denver all are un- defeated and united within the con- frence.
