YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK,
Oct. Z (R.-Fired by two successes
over the Pirates in Pittsburgh, the
New York Yankees came out for the
opening world series games in New
York today more than two hours be-
fore game time. The Yankees were
evidently bent on getting in little
extra batting practice. They needed
it in the first game of the series, but
hit well enough to win handily yes
terday.
The Yankees despite their early ap-
pearance, found many of their friends
TO greet them. Before noon many
patient persons who stood in line to
buy unreserved seats were sitting in
them and saying between yaw n
Come on Ruth"
The big Babe was one of the first
Yankees on the field and was given a
big hand at sight and a great cheer
when he went up to hit The home
run king drove the first ball Don
Miller threw up against the right
field barrier, the blast barely escaping
home run territory.
The red-coated band of Pittsburgh
was replaced by one all in gray. The
New York bandSmen sat out in the
sun while the Pittsburghers showed a
preference for the shade.
Earl Combs turned the tables on a
group of photographers by appropriate
ing a press camera and swapping
some baseball shots, both stills and
action.
The crowd got it's first chance to
cheer long and Justify when Lou Geh-
rig, Junior home run hitter OF the
Yankees, drove two in succession high
in the right field bleachers.
Tony Lazzeri, who suffered an IN
.jured wrist in the first game OF the
series but showed no signs of his hurt
yesterday, took his turn at batting
practice. He was hitting the ball on
a line and was apparently not Wor-
ried by his bad wrist 1t was lightly
bandaged.
Pennock and Meadows posed to-
gether for photographers as the Yam
KEGS went through a fast fielding
practice. AS he warmed up, Pennock
showed no signs of having an injured
knee, bruised by a practice line drive
before the series opened.
Lazzeri, another Yankee casualty,
went through fielding practice, with
Ray Morehart, his substitute, taking
turn at second base: Lazzeri, how
ever, was reported fit for the fray.
) Pennock was announced as the Yam
kee pitching selection. This nomina-
ton was in defiance of prediction

big RALLY ISMESA WARRIORS
Held ON EVE OF ARE HERE FOR
FOOTBALL CAME SATURDAY GAME

The invading Mesa Jackrabbits ar
rived in the city last evening ready
tc show their football ability against
the scrappy Bulldog aggregation to-
day at $3.50 p. M, when Referee w.
c.. Hall will blow the whistle sending
the rival teams into action.
The Mesa boys are husky squad
and seem to have a strong team.
Last year Mesa won from Douglas
at Mesa in the only game tina:
Douglas lost all season. The Bulldogs
have not forgotten this game and
will be ready today to give their besc
irS an effort to stop the steam roller"
from the valley.
Neither coach would say mutSl
relative to the game, but each feels
that his team is m fine condition
and the result may rest with the
eleven that has the most stamina.
The game this year has been speeded
up as a penalty is called If teams
remain in the huddle more than ten
seconds and plays must be run Off
more quickly than in previous years.
While the six new rules have tend
ed to take away some of the thrills
it has added new factors that tend
to make tine game faster and the
passing en- be done in better style.
The Warren system of passing is
good and if the boys can execute
these passes under fire they are due
to make long gains for touchdowns.
The Mesa team has shifty outfit
and resorts to many trick plays. Both
coaches are prepared to use their
full "nag Of tricks" if necessary TO
win in today's game. The strategy
of the rival coaches today will figure
as greatly as the strategy used by
Miller Higgins and DOME Bush Ill
the world series games.
Football fans are especially urged
to attend the football game today
as it will acuuaint them with the
new rules. Later in the season
Nogales, Deming and Bisbee will play
here. More than 300 tickets have
/ already been sold to citizens and
students.
| The students held gigantic rally
and bonfire last evening creating en-
| thusiasm for this game While this
game will have no bearing on the
| southern conference standing it will
count great deal toward the state
honors should Douglas win or even
hold the Mesa team. to a low score
The game is called at $3.50 p. m.
The line-ups are:
Douglas daily dispatch. [volume] (Douglas, Ariz.) 1903-1961, 1927-10-08

Every resident of Douglas who was
in the downtown district last evening
knows that Douglas high school is to
play Mesa high school at football this
afternoon at the ball park on Tenth
street. They know it because the en-
tire student body from the high school
participated in great pep rally in
which they took the downtown streets
by storm, held UP traffic and attracted
the attention Of everyone for more
than an hour with yells and the con-
tortions of well managed shirt tail
parade which, when stretched out
reached well over two blocks.
Following two cheering sessions, one
at the corner of Twelfth street and G.
avenue and the other at the corner of
Eleventh and G. the screaming, cheer
ing throng swept on and at the corner
! of Eleventh street and F avenue a
great fire was lighted which attracted
everyone who had not already been
made aware that rally was being
staged.
| Even the fire department. turned out
| for the bonfire and with thousands of
people banking the sidewalks and
flowing over the the side streets and
vacant lots on every side the students
developed more cheers and yells and
i finally broke up their rally and scat
tered in every direction to get nights
sleep and attend the first game of the
season to be played on the home grid
| iron.
The game will be called at $3.50
o'clock

BABE ruth MAKES FIRST Home
run OF SERIES DRIVING IN Two
runs AHEAD OF HIM IN 9TH inning

two Yankee runs, Meadows settled
down to keep close pace with his Yam
kee pitching rival AS matter of fact
Meadows might have escaped less dam
age than he did in the first inning,
had Hal Rhyme, substituting for the
injured George Grantham at second,
or Clyde Barnhart fielded little more
smartly
But after that frame, Meadows held
the Yankees to one hit over five-in-
ming stretch. Through the second,
third, fourth and fifth, he allowed not
the semblance of safe blow. He
had the Yankee sluggers, especially
Ruth, Meusel and Lazzeri, bewildered
by his slow curves and floaterS. While
his support was not as good as that
behind Pennock, the Pirate pitcher,
over this brief stretch, flashed as
much, If not more stuff" than his foe.
Gehrig's double off Meadows in the
sixth, the first Yankee hit since the
first inning, was wasted, but there
was no checking the am-roller in
the next frame, although some more
slow fielding by the Corsairs had as
much to do with permitting it to get
started as anything else.
Lazzeri started the inning with a
single and was safe at second when
Meadows threw too late to catch him
on Dugan'si sacrifice bunt. burst, bat
ting for GrabowD;i, advanced both
runners when the Pirate second sack
er threw too late to the plate on Pen
nock's roller.
Luck had favored the Yankees thus
far but they put on rousing finish
as Combs singled, scoring Dugan
Koenig doubled, tallying Pennock, and
Ruth hit his homer, bringing in Combs
and Koenig with the last three runs.
Meadows had passed out of the pic
ture after Koenig's double and little
Mike CvengroS had anything but an
encouraging situation as he faced
Ruth. He couldn't keep the ball out
of the Babes home run reach but he
did put on belated stopper by get
ting Gehrig and Meusel on strikes
The revised Pirate lineup, with
E3hyne at second in place of Gran
than, out with wrenched side did not
show any improvement, either in de-
Tense or offense, over it's previous two
performances. The fielding was again
shaky in crucial moments and the hit
ting, in the face of Pennock's cross
fire, was at low ebb. In contrast the
Yankees scintillated at every turn.
They gave Pennock marvellous back
ing, pulling as hard as the crowd for
a perfect pitching performance by the
great Southpaw.
Joe Dugan, up to his old tricks at
third, was especially brilliant. Twice
he cut off possible hits, once in the
fourth when he speared Paul Waner's
Zine drive and again in the seventh
when he raced in to make wonderful
full pick up of Hal Rhymes perfect bunt
and get his man at first with a snap
throw by whisker Earle Combs,
in center, pulled everything down that
came his way while Lazzeri made a
remarkable stop over second base and
perfect throw even though off bal
ance, to retire Spencer in the eighth.

hand pitching
The following play-by- play descrip-
tive of the world series game is by
Carl S. Brandebury, Associated Press
sports writer.
It looked like a stout pitching bat
tie for the third game of the world
series as the left-hander, Pennock, for
the Yankees, and Lee Meadows for
the Pirates, warmed up before the
game. The pitchers appeared to have
lots of stuff Meadows said that he
never felt better. Pennock said that
notwithstanding his bruised leg, he
felt able to shoulder the battle of
the American leaguers.
