CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-(U.P)-The
New York Yankees heavy artillery
was silent today and the rout of
the Chicago Cubs was interrupted
while the world series cast was
moved from Yankee stadium to
Wrigley Field.
The wearisome, one-sided world
series of 1882, bereft of baseball
drama and thrills in the first two
games at New York, will be resu-
med tomorrow with the Yankees
holding two victories and needing
only two more to capture their
fourth world championship.
For the Yankees the intermission
was an zunwelcome respite from
their triumphant march over the
befuddled National league cham
pions.
For the Cubs it was a great re-
lief from the sad events of the
past two days and an opportunity
to gather their forces for a spirit
ed comeback in the friendly sur
roundings at Wrigley field, where
! they have scored their greatest
! triumphs.
The Yankees have the Cubs on
the run, and plan to keep them
there until they close out another
world series victory in four straight
games-a feat they accomplished
in 1927 against the Pirates and
again in 1923 against the Car
dinals.
But the Yanks may find the
Cubs at home radically different
opponent from the laundering, al
most pathetic ball club which fell
before the American league cham
pions at Yankee stadium, 1876 and
So.
The surroundings at Wrigley
Field have a strange effect on the
Cubs. They play like a well-oiled,
smooth functioning machine on
their home grounds, with their
pitchers performing to the peak
of their ability and their hitters
swinging deadly bludgeons. The
Cubs never have been terrors on
the road, and their disastrous in
vasion of Yankee stadium was
/ thoroughly true to form.
With their two most formidable
pitchers, Guy Bush and Lon War
neke, beaten, their batSmen-with
the shining exception of Riggs Ste
phenson-rendered helpless by the
Yankee pitchers, Red Ruffing and
Vernon Gomez. the Cubs outlook
is far more dismal than it was
when they made their great come
back to win the National league
pennant.
Cubs Fighting Team
Past performances show the Cubs
have performed their best when
the odds against them were the
greatest. They are not cutters
They proved that when they won
the National league pennant.
Two world series pitchers OF
other years have been selected to
oppose each other in the third
game. George Pipgras, the Denni-
son, Ia, farmer boy, who became
a great pitcher under the tutelage
of the late Miller Higgins, will be
on the firing line Tor the Yam
KEGS.
Charlie Root, out of Middletown
Ohio, who reached his greatest
fame under the direction of Joe
Mccarthy, when the Yankee man
ager was at the helm of the Cubs,
will attempt to stem the New
York advance for the Cubs.
Pipgras has never lost world
series, and Root has never won
one.
The weather forecast for tomor-
row was for clear skies and mod
crate temperature. The capacity
for Wrigley field is $1,000 and, if
full house attends as expected, it
will be the largest crowd thus far
of the series.
The betting odds are almost pro-
hibitive on the Yankees, with the
American league champs l to 10 to
win the series, and to S to win
the third game. The price against
the Yanks taking four straight is
only to 5. The odds against the
Cubs winning four straight are
20 to /, and against them taking
two straight 31a to l.
