Strongest Combinations for Today It goes without saying that both mianager McGraw and Miller Huggins, the ; Yankees mentor, will send their strongest_combinations into battle to- morrow. In a short four out of seven game serfes, victory in the initial clash spells an advantage which it is hard 1o overcome. . 'The Giants are expected to open on thelr own grounds and in the role of home. players with Artle Nehf, the 'star twirler, facing the American lea- gue standard bearers Nehf has won nineteen games out of thirty-seven starts “in, the National league pen- nant race this season and is with- ‘out’ doubt the Giants’ pitching ace.

Twelve months ago he was not in physical condition to do him- gelf ‘justice. Aside from a slight Iy strained side today, he is ready and Yankee fans are hoping that the Bambino will deliver in sensational fashion in his second facing of the the Giants’ twirlers. The Bambino was out with the Yan- kees in their final practice which be- gan shortly after 10 o'clock this morn- ing and ended the Glants ambled out about eleven, He leaned hard against the .pitching, sent a couple from his bludgeon:into the cooler altitudes and then-disappeared.

Y. CLUB OW\IEBB MAKE LITTLE ON WORLD'S SERIES Fans reading of the $100,000 world's series gates imagine that the world's =e- ries is a rich haul for the club owners. There was a time when it was a rich reward for a championship club, but inl Tecent years so many persons in baseball eat of the world’s series pie that very little is left over for the owners of the winning clubs. Should either the Giants or Yanks Win in four games, the local clubs will lose money on the series. Should it go to five games, they would just about break even. Only in the event of a sixth and a seventh game will the clubs make any money. On the first four games, ench club gets less than mnine cents for each dol- lar taken in. Of the money taken in, fifteen per cent. goes to Commissioner Landis and six per cent. to the ball players. Thirty-five per cent. is called the club’'s share, of which the Giants and Yankees each get seventeen and a half per cent. But each club is obliged t6 cut this in half and turn in over to its lea- gue treasury, with the result that only eight and three-quarters per cent. is left for each local ciub. Out of this eight and three-quarters per cent. the local clubs are obliged to pay all world’s series expenses, the cost of extra printing, extra office help, and the larger items of entertainment which each year have been reaching new high- water marks. PILOTS MAKE STATEMENT ON EVE OF BATTLE New York, Cct. 3—Managers Millep- Huggins of the Yankees and John J. Mc- Graw of the Qlants issued statements tonight. Huggins said: “Joe Bush will pitch the first zame for the Yankees. He has earned’ the honor and will get it. T think he ought to beat the Giants if the others give him some heln by hitting. “Ruth will be a Iot of assistanse, for he is in better condition than last year and when he is hitting they all hit. “I'am not making any predictions about the length of the series. I sim- ply say that we ought to win it.” McGraw said: “We'll give a good account of our- selves you may be sure of that. We hear a lot about the strength of the Yan- kee pitchers and of course we hold them in high respect but my pitchers carried us through to the National league pen- pant and they'll hold up their end against the Yanks . “I've got a lot of smart ball players and we'll be out there fighting ai] the time.” AT THE AETNA ALLEYS STORE TEAM LEAGUE Reld & Hughes Co. 89 #1713 93 1 91 O'Rourke Zeif Cronin Charon Gitford 285 417 Mohican Market 1277 Rousch 2— Handy 76— Shea 66— 218 Tilinger 81— 245 Budnick 93— 316 214 242 403 1235 | VETERAN DRIVER wins FEATURE AT DANBURY Danbury, Conn., Oct. 3—The victory in the 2:15 trot of W.
