The Birmingham age-herald., 1921-10-05

Hugsins, the Giants and Tanks will scamper out on the diamond shortly after noon with a combination of stars seldom, If ever, equaIled in the annals of the game.
 Babe Leads Yank Stars
 In the gray travelling uniform of the Yankees will be Babe Ruth, the clouting king of the baseball world, with record of 59 home runs this season; Carl Mays, famous underhand hurling artist; Catcher Wally Schang, veteran of three past world series, against whose speedy throwing arm runner after runner has tried to steal bases only to be thrown out standing up; Roger Peckinpaugh, one of the best shortstops on the major circuit today. and Bob Meusel, heavy hitting outfelder.
 Opposed to this galaxy of stars, the Giants will offer Frank Frisch, the Fordham flash. one of the fastest infelders that ever played a skinned diamond position; George Kelly, lead ing home run hitter of the National league; Emile Meusel brother of Yankee Bob sMeusel, also noted for his extra base hits; Dave Bancroft, one of the most finished shortstops of modern baseball, and Pitchers Toney, Nehf and Barnes, all twirlers ex- traordinary.
 ensationaI Series
 While close followers of baseball hold the opinion that neither the Chants nor Yankees of today are the great playing machines that made earlier world series history, such as the Athletics of 1910-11-l3. under Connie Mack, and the Chicago Cubs of 1s0607-0S, when Frank Chance led one of the fastest and smoothest working infield combinations in the history of the game, the two local teams posses both the color and per sonality for a sensational and thrill ing series. 1t will be, however, more individual than team or combination feature play and this, in some re- spects, Is expected to heighten the Elamor of the clash when the clubs swing into action.
 Regardless of the question of in- dividual brllliancy against mechani- cal playing perfection. the fact re- mains that never in the history of Greater New York participation in Nvo4id series has the interest in the outcome been so keen.
 Twice before the Giants and the YankSes met on the nome diamond. in thA post season series of 1910 and 1914. In each case the National league. club was the victor. the Me- Grawites Waning the first clash four games to two. with an extra tie contest for good measure, and the second, four games to one.
 In 1910, 103.0 spectators paid N1,- <62 to witness the play, while four years later close to 10000 fans con tributed s3o,5e3 for the privilege or watching the struggle.
 Tonight the baseball and financial statisticians are predicting record breaking attendance and gate re- ceipts, and there Is much In the way of advance data to bear out these predictions. Reserve seats and boxes under the control of the teams are re- ported to be sold out. Thousands of spectators, who would have been will ing to pay a premium for the privi lege of reserving seat, must take their chances in tho long lines of islanders already forming before the gates leading to the unreserved sec tions of the stands
 Expect Record Attendance
 While the Polo Grounds Is not the largest baseball arena In the coun- try. it is freely predicted that. should the series go seven or eight games
