N. YORK, CHICAGO TEAMS PLAY FOR
 RELIEF OF JOBLE&
Enough Public Interest May Cause Annual City Series in Gotham

 New York, Sept 9--(UP)- With the New York Yankees and Giants and the Chicago White Sox and Cubs meeting in charity" games, baseball followers will De provided with a pre-world series test of the strength of the Ameri- can and National leagues.
 Single games do not provide an accurate measure as to the strength of the competing teams but with the four clubs using their strongest lineups, to-day's contests should furnish an indication of the reaction of American league hit ters to the National leagues dead ball" and of National league pitch- CTS to the thin-covered and nVeuer American league ball.
 Possibilities
 The charity games at New fork and Chicago-both of which prom ise to attract near capacity crowds are expected to be a forerunner of a "city series." All receipts or to-day's contests will be given to the unemployed and the club own CTS have promised to arrange post season city series if attendance at to-day's contest indicate that the fans are interested.
 Only two regular league games are scheduled to-day, Brooklyn invading Pittsburg in the National league and Washington playing at Philadelphia in the only American league contest.
 Yesterdays competition was fea- tured by Lefty Groves 10 to l tri- dmph over Washington. The vic- tory was Groves 2Sth of the year against three defeats and practi- cally assured the Philadelphia star of reaching the 30 winner class.
 In the other American league games St Louis defeated Detroit, 3 to 2, and Cleveland took a dou- bleheader from Chicago, 8 to and to 3.
 Just in Time
 Ralph Kress' homer with mate on base in the eighth gave St Louis it's victory over Detroit.
 Cleveland was outhit in both games with Chicago but came from behind to win the first game with three run rally in the seventh and clinched the second by SCOT ing five runs iE the first inning.
 Philadelphia held the New York Giants to en even break. winning the first game of a doubleheader, 3 to 1, and losing the second' 4 to 3.
 Brooklyn staged a four run at tack in theeighth to break all tie and defeated Boston. 10 to U.
 Bill Harris. celebrated his major league return, by pitching Pitts burg to a to triumph over Cin- cinnati.

By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Staff Correspondent) )


 New York, Sept 9.-(UP)-We wouldn't be at all surprised if Mis- ter Mack, after a long and earnest conference with Mrs Mack's hus- band, Connie, up and decided to pitch Waite Hoyt, the merry morti- tian of Flatbush, in the opening game of the world series with the St Louis Cardinals.
 What is more, we wouldn't De surprised if Hoyt stepped out there and won himself a ball game, for Waite, in case you haven't dipped into your memory book for day or two, has won six world series games-three of them at the ex- pense of the Cardinals.
 If Manager Mack does decide to use Hoyt in place of Grove, Earn shaw, Walberg or Mahaffey, don't wire in to ask why. For he prob ably couldn't tell you. He never has fully explained why he sent Howard Ehmke, who won but seven games all season, out there against the Cubs in the first game of the '29 series. When pressed for reason he said he had "hunch." It must have been a powerful hunch indeed for Howard struck out thirteen men, a record number for a series game. and wasn't scored on until the first half of the ninth inning.
 He's No DumlSopf
 The selection of Hoyt for first duty wouldn't be a dead gamble on Mack's part. For the onetime boy wonder of the Yankees still has a lot more up that right sleeve than just his elbow, and he knows a thing or two, too.
 Mickey Cochrane is one who thinks Hoyt would turn back the Cards. It is Cochrane's opinion that Sportsman's Park, with its white -shirted background, is made to order for Hoyt's overland fast ball.
 Hoyt. then working the flannels of the New York Yankees, earned his first decision over the Cards in the fourth game of the l926 series. Although raked for IA hits he had enough discretion to keep them scattered and the Tanks won 10 to 5.
 He came within an ace of talk ing another that year, three un- earned runs beating him 3 to Tn seventh game.
 Hoyt faced the Cards in the first game in 1928 and was red hot, allowing but three hits and one run. His third verdict over the Redbirds came in the fourth game the same year, the Tanks winning to 8.
 Of course, the Cards are not the Cards of '26 and '2S but there are enough of the boys still hanging around to make Waite feel a, home. Frisch, Bottomley, Orsattl and Hafey are not strangers to the merry mortician.
 Surmising Things If Hoyt should start and win the first game it would give the As 2 tremendous edge, for Mack still would have Grove, Earnshaw, and Walberg and Mahaffey. And you never will convince us that those four gentlemen are not capable of winning three games against any club in this or other worlds.
 But whether he gets in the series ! games or not Hoyt will so dowh in history as the luckiest ball play CT of the 1881 season, toiling away with the lowly Tigers and gettine

New Haven, Sept 9-Benny Leo- nard, former lightweight champion of the world, who undefeated, re- tired the crown several years ago, begins a game attempt at come back at the White City Stadium this evening, meeting two oppon- ents in a pair of exhibition bouts on Al weilrs fight program. Leon- ards chin humping demonstra- tions will top 34-round program. The first bout is slated for s:so o. clock.
 Two at A Time.
 The former wizard of the ring will take on as his first opponent. Mickey Terry, New Brunswick. ~. J., terrier, and then he will meet Karl Lautschlager, of Omaha, Ne braska. Each mixing will go for two rounds and the sessions will be cut to two minutes each.
 Leonard has appeared here on several occasions and has a large following here. He has often dem instrated his punching skill before the New Haven fight fans and 1t is expected that no small number of them will welcome the oppor- tunity of seeing him in action
 Matchmaker weill has brilliant supporting card lined up for his following this evening. Two eight rounders, a pair of sixes and four round curtain raiser will round out the evenings entertain ment. In one of the eight round affairs, listed as the star bout, Buddy Howard, of New Haven. will trade punching wares with Petro Lopez, towering giant who halls from Wheeling. West Virginia.
 In another eight-round pairing. Tommy Jarrett, another Elm City favorite, will have 1t out with sammy Chernoff, of New York, Jarrett has been showing up real we'll in recent starts and is cunning for a win over the New Yorker this evening.
 Action Here. There should be plenty of fire- works when Joe Oliver. downtown idol, and Romeo Dubois, city rival. swap punches. Oliver has long been wanting to take a crack at Dubois and he Is all primed to give him a real boxing lesson. The boys will mix 1t for six rounds. In the second of the six round heats, Rocco Mule, of this city. will argue with Patsy LaRocco, of New York. Both these boys are known to be hard hitters and there is every indication that a knock out may. bring the festivities to an abrupt ending.
 Vignali Goes. The opening bout one of four I rounds will show Tony DePalma. of this city. and Joe Vignali, Of Waterbury. Vignali has been 8 con sistent winner at the Savin Rock enclosure this season and DePalma Is out to put stop to his winning | ways.

Grant, who scored a second round victory over Jacques Brug- non, veteran French Davis cup player, is right on top of his game, while Doeg still appears to be in the slump that has handicapped his play all season.
 The Grant-Doeg affair, while it must be given top billing, prom ises little more in thrills than three or four of the other contests or the day. Clifford Sutter, fifth rank ing U. s. player and seeded NO. b meets Fred Perry, brilliant young British internationalist. Christian Boussus of France, the only other foreign player still in the running, will engage Johnny Van Ryn of Philadelphia. Both these matches should be filled with fireworks.
 Great on Paper
 The best tennis of the day, how ever, is likely to be furnished by the match between George Lott or Philadelphia, and Gregory Man- gin of Newark, N. J. Lott, deter mined to make his name in singles as he has in doubles, has been playing beautifully all week. Man gin proved in his defeat of Andre Merlin of France yesterday, that he is a worthy opponent for any play CT of the game.
 Frank Bowden of New York, the "unknown" who scored an amazing third round victory over Sidney B. Wood, the country's No: 2 ranking performer, IS pltted against Teddy Burwell of North Carolina.
 More Action.
 Ellsworth Vines, the California comet: is paired with J. Gilbert Hall of New Jersey, Vines should win. but not with the shoddy game he showed in eliminating Lenolr Wright of New Orleans yesterday.
 It will be "Giant Killers vs "Giant Killers" in Berkeley Belrs 8 tiff with Robert Bryan of Chatta- nooga. Bell whipped Winner Ali son in a big upset Monday, while Bryan surprised everybody by talk ing the measure of Pat Hughes. English Davis-Cupper, yesterday.
 The other fourth-round match pits Frank Shields, strapping New York Davis cup player, against Keith Gledhill. intercollegiate cham pion from California. Shields packs too much punch for the coast boy.

OPTIMISM ERICNS AS TOTAL SMELLS FOR GLAND DRIVE
Final Meeting Tonight at 8:3O O'Clock - Fund Passes Halfway Mark To Make Trip By Train

Daniel T. Harrington, chairman of the "On to Cleveland" drive, announced at last nights citizens confab in the aldermanic chamber thatt he campaign committee up to that time felt sure of $1,420 which is more than half of the $2,500 needed to send the Brook lyn A. c. to the Natoinal Amateur Baseball tournament in Ohio where play for all competing teams com mences Saturday.
 More Checks Expected.
 Some of the higher-up canvass CTS who are expected to come through with few two or three figure checks have yet to be heard from which makes things a little more optimistic for all. The drive chairman last night called another meeting for the same assembly place for tonight at S:30 o'clock where all canvass CTS are expected to anonunce their entire contributions.
 For the benefit of many persons who are willing to do their bit toward the drive and who have yet to be approached by can- vassers, contributions will be re- ceived by Treasurer Fred Chesson at the Waterbury Trust company.
 Drawings Unknown
 It is definitely decided that the Brooklyns will travel by train and not by bus. Just what day and what time they will leave will be known at to-night's meeting. It is hoped the boys will arrive in Cleveland in due time for a work out to acquaint themselves with the diamond. Drawings will not be made until arrival in Cleevland and no team will draw bye un- til the third day. The Campanias will represent New Haven this year instead of the Highwood Cubs who upheld the Elm City colors the last two seasons.
