MONTE PEARSON, a right-hander like Schumacher, was Manager Jos McCarthy's logical choice to fol- bow in the footsteps of Lefty Gomez and Ruffing. Monte isn't rated as @reat a pitcher as Lefty and Red, nor- mally, but there was no reason to think he might not handcuff the Giants, the way they had played dead 8t the plate the last two days. Neither was there any tangible reason for believing the Polo Grounds would prove & tonic to the Giants. ‘True, the walls are shorter than at the Yankee Stadium and home runs | eome cheaper. Yet no one ever has| accused the Yankees of being short | hitters. | Manager Bill Terry, downcast at| his team's collapse, apparently had no more idea how to pull them out ! of it than you have. He wasn't even predicting that Schumacher would | stem the riot today. He only spread | Bis hands hopelessly and croaked: “They've beat hell out of us for two days. They're hitting and we're | not. There's nothing you can do| about that, is there?” T}u-:ma didn’t seem to be, at that, . unless the Giants could have all | world series games shortened to four innings. Carl Hubbell had the Yanks sbsolutely baffled for five frames in | the first game, and Cliff Melton, young and innocent, stopped them cold for | four chapters yesterday. Then each ©f them got knocked around violently. What seemed to unsteady both pitch- ers, observers agreed, was the strain of having to work on every Yankee batter like the game hung in the bal- ance. There wasn't a spot they could let up. Eventually it “got” Melton yesterday, just as it unsettled even the veteran Hubbell the previous day. Their catcher, Gus Mancuso, related sadly that each suddenly lost his stuff. That's fatal against the Yanks. Even Ruffing joined in yesterday's bombardment. His single, the Yan- kees’ fourth straight safety, was the blow that sent Melton to cover in the | fifth Inning, and in the next round he bounced a double off the left wall to | dispose of Harry Gumbert. There is| no solidarity, apparently, in the pitchers’ union. Pressure on Giant Hurlers. Ruffing’s Speed Baffling. RUP’F’ING‘S speed on the mound, furthermore, was so great that the Giants never hinted at a concerted sttack. Dick Bartell's double followed by Mel Ott’s single game them their daily run in the first inning, and after that they were through. When Rufus really cut his fast one loose you could ®ee it hop from the upper stands. About the only thing to hearten the Giants’ supporters was the fact that their defense had recovered from its blind staggers of the first game. Bar- tell, who was more or less the official goat of the opener because he dropped & very crucial peg from Mancuso at second, came back with a brilliant plece of shortstopping yesterday, in addition to collecting two of his team's seven hits. Also, Burgess Whitehead made several noble stops and throws at second. It was partially this fighting brand ©of defense that enabled Melton to slide through the first four innings so Charley (Red) Ruffing. pi round rally.

HICAGO, October 8—The battle front in Chicago’s city series champlonship shifted from South to North today as the White Sox and Cubs, each holding one victory in their base ball “civil war,” swyng into their third game on the Cub home lot, Wrigley Field. Larry French, who won 16 games and lost 10 for the Cubs during the National League season, was the pitch- ing choice of Manager Charley Grimm. The White Sox hurler was Thorton Lee, who won 12 and lost 10 against American League opponents. Both French and Lee are left-handers, Kennedy Is Slab Master. BO’I’H hurlers will be hoping to match the pitching of the first two game winners. Tex Carleton re- stricted the Sox to five hits as the Cubs won the opener, and Vern Ken- nedy was even better yesterday, as his three-hit flinging paced the Sox to a 3-to-1 victory which evened matters. Kennedy permitted only two Cubs to collect safe blows. Billy Herman doubled and Linus Frey had two sin- gles. The Sox, meanwhile, were club- bing Curt Davis and Charley Root for nine bingles and sewed up the game in the eighth on Dixie Walker's single, a sacrifice, two passes and a single by Catcher Luke Sewell, whicn produced two runs. Herman Returns Today. ERMAN, who was severely shaken up in a sixth-inning collision with Tony Piet, Sox third-sacker, was expected to play second base for the Cubs today.

Hub’s game crumbled Hub's head and big. brawny men in white uniforms began to race around the bases and over the plate. The Giants finally threw in the towel for Hub. Resignedly, he rolled up his glove, jammed it into his pocket, and walked off., He looked very tired . .. and old. Well King Karl is 34 years old now, at that. He has been pitching pro- fessionally for 15 years. And the old master, always at his best when the chips were on the table, wilted. He was not the pitcher who beat the| Nats twice in 1933 . . . or who fanned | Ruth, Gehrig, Simmons, Foxx and Cronin in succession in the 1934 all- | star game. Could the King be dead? Marse Joe and Melton. 'HEN, too, there was Moyntain Musie Cliff Melton, who yester- day duplicated Hub's short-lived bril- liance before the dynamite keg blew up beneath him, too. When the National League season wore down to its close and Melton was found to be a 20-game winner in his first year in the majors, Giant fans raised a fine old hullabaloo. They called him a great “find” and when ‘t was recalled that Joe McCarthy once had looked over Melton \nd turned him down, they put Marse Joe on the pan and keenly anticipated Moun- tain Music's meeting with the famed swing band. (Poor Cliff.) The Yan- kees on the bench made fun of his big ears and his rustic walk and his mountaineer speech. They rode him more harshly than any world series pitcher since Schoolboy Rowe stuck his chin out by saying over the radio, “How'm Ah doin’, Edna?” Bill Dickey cupped his hands to his mouth and jshouted: “Don't put your head down when you run to first, CLff, With these ears, you'll take off.” Names may never hurt but sticks and stones can break bones and base hits can . . . well, they really hurt Cliff when they.came. In the fifth inning they finished Mountain Music with four straight hits and after that, with Harry Gumbert and Dick Coff- | man relieving again, it was just a| 1.000 | breeze. Giants Not Playing Smartly. WHAT could this butchering of Melton mean? For one thing it was strong evidence that McCarthy really looked Melton over when he was up for a trial with the Yankees in 1935. Joe said at the time he wasn't ready. Maybe he should have said that Melton wasn't ready for the American League. In the National League, Big Slim seems to fit in nicely. Next to Hub- bell he was the leading pitcher of the Giants. As long as the National can retain its status as a major league Melton ought to be all right. Now it's up to the National League to prove it ought to be ranked with the American. This has not been a classy series %0 far. In the opening game, holding 8 1-to-0 lead, Hubbell became too careful in pitching to Lefty Gomez, who led off the sixth inning. Why he was careful with Goofy remains a mystery, for Mr. Gomez is one of base ball's poorer hitting pitchers. But Hub did try to be cute and he walked “Lefty.” That started the Series Figures By the Associated Press. Standing of the teams: First game (at Yankee Stadium): R. H. E Hubbell. Gumbert.

TH.AT was in the opening game. In the game yesterday, the Giants became too careless with another pitcher . . . Red Ruffing. Either they didn't know, or they haven't identified the Yankees yet, but Ruffing probably is the best hitting pitcher in his league. While on the subject of in- troducing ball players, Bill Terry ought to introduce Catcher Gus Man-' cuso to Mr. Coffman and other relief pitchers. That might prevent such things as Mancuso announcing Gum- bert as the relief pitcher while Coff- man was walking to the box. Getting back to yesterday, Ruffing singled and smashed across the run against Melton that gave the Yanks & 2-to-1 lead. That was in the fifth inning. In the sixth, with Gumbert pitching, the Giants purposely passed Tony Lazzeri to pitch to Ruffing. Gumbert had a good chance to re- tire Lazzeri. Any pitcher with a fast- breaking curve figures to give Tony a battle. But the Giants wanted to pitch to Ruffing and big Red blasted one that failed to clear the left fleld barrier by a foot. It went for a double, scored two runs, and after that noth- ing mattered. It all depends on what kind of a sense of humor you have, I suppose, but wasn't it funny when Frankie Crosetti tried to pull the hidden ball trick on Joe Moore in the eighth? Ball. players call it a bush league trick. Maybe Frankie, after looking at those Giants twice, thought that | was where he was ... in the bushes. MARTY ON NEW YORK CARD.

Central seems to have the edge on the other four District high the inter-high grid race. Benton and Sallee now loom as the only hopes to pull the series out of the fire for the Giants. schools as they near the start of - “Hey, handlebars!” “Hang out your washing!” “Pull 'em in, Clff. This is a one- way street!” “Which is your profile, waterwings?" wings?” “Watch out for doors!™ “Fold 'em, CLff. a bridge!” “Hey, handlebars!” The Yankee jockeys felt they had plenty motive for the nding of Mel- ton. He got a try-out in the Yankee camp two years ago. They turned him adrift as a doubtful prospect, and he wound up with the Giants by way of Baltimore. For the Giants he won 20 games this year. Also he bee gan to be quoted. them swinging We're coming to Alleged Remarks Resented. A FEW weeks ago a story appeared in the papers, with quotes by Melton, to the effect that Bill Dickey had ruined Cliff's future with the Yanks by calling for the wrong pitch in an exhibition game with Cine cinnati. The batter was Kiki Cuyler. Melton wanted to throw & curve, the story ran. Dickey called for & fast one, saying, in a conference near the box, “C'mon, kid, throw it past this bum. He can't touch it.” Mels ton threw the fast one under proe test, and Cuyler kissed it for two bases. That is the story, and the Yankees claim it is highly apocryphal and misleading. ‘So does Melton. He de= nies the quotes. But the Yankees are grim about it. They were waiting for Melton when he stepped out to start this second game of the series. Jockeying still is a major form of entertainment for ball players. Near- 1y every club has its principal jockey, who rides the enemy and the umpires from the dugout from one end of the game to the other. There have been some famous jock- eys in the history of base ball. Ty Cobb was & great one. The work of Ray Kolp, one-time reliet pitcher for Cincinnati, was well spoken of by the critics. Fresco Thompson, formerly of the Phils, Dodgers and Giants, had class. Leo Durocher is ome of the most gifted tongue-swingers in the game today. Close behind him come Bill Jurges, Woody English, Ben Chapman and Lefty Gomez. Some Record Jockeving. A NEW high in world series jockey- ing was reached by the Chicago Cubs of 1932 in their treatment of George H. Ruth. The Cub bench was loaded with jockeys that year. They had half a dozen triple-threat heck« lers. They gave Ruth the works, with s famous and highly unfortunate re« sult. Coming to the plate one afternoon, the Babe faced the Cubs’ jockeys and called their attention to & section of the right.center field fence. Then he hammered the next pitch over that very spot for & home run. That was & shot-calling to end all ghot-callings. Lefty Gomez does the bulk of the Jockey work for the Yankees. He led the assault on Melton. He was helped in his task by the fertile brain of Pat Malone, the official Yankee nick- namer, who calls Gomez “Felix the Cat,” Ruffing “Drizzle-Puss,” Dickey “Willie the Slug” and himself “Old CASH DISPOSAL 9,000 TIRES AND TUBES At Drastic Reductions Standard Makes Nationally Advertised REPAIRED—ADJUSTMENTS Two floors—One of the most complete stocks ever assembled, hundred miles, All Carry Our— One Year Unconditional Guarantee 4.50x21.. 4.75x19 5.25x17... 5.25x18 5.50x17.. ..$2.85 550x19. 6.00x16. 6.00x17. 6.25x16 Some tires driven less than & 25%1050% of original factory list prices of new .$3.95 AUTO HEATERS 1938 MODELS Sales Prices From 40?’ $3.95 15 $1.95 O Recognize—1937 Fresh Stock—Brand New Paper Wrapped A LIBERAL ALLOWANCE ON YOUR OLD TIRES 4.40x21......83.95 4.50x20...... 4.85 4.50x21 4.95 5.45 5.85 5.95 5.25x17. 5.25x18. 5.25x19. 5.25x21. °5.50x16. 5.00x20. 5.50x17. 5.50x18.. 5.50x19.. 6.00x16. . 6.00x18. . 6.00x20. 6.25x16. 6.50x16. . .. 9725 7.35 7.85 7.95 18 MONTHS’ UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE AMERICAN STORE BLDG.
