NEW YORK. Sept. T. The
~ Yankees and the Cubs practi-
cally are in and will meet in the
world series in the Yankee stadium
on wednesday, Sept. %. Recogni-

It is my impression that within
the next two weeks those odds Will
be cut to 5 to 3. The Cubs are not
likely TO be quite so easy as some
Of the folk around here figure.

A DHERENTS Of the Cubs get a
"A lot Of encouragement out Of
the recent gatherings Of Lefty
Gomez, star southpaw of the
Yankees. While Lefty has been
winning-he turned in his twenty
third victory Monday-he has been
subject to seventh and eighth in
ming filters.
Lefty is tired and not in the best
shape. 1t seems to me it would be
a fine move on Joe McCarthy's part
to put both Gomez and George Pip
gras out to pasture for a while.
Once the pennant is clinched it is
likely that Gomez and Pipgras will
be skipped a couple of times in the
New York pitching schedule.
From Chicago comes the word that the
fans out there do not figure Gomez

Yankee pitchers for the series. They thlnH

n
W/ORLD series discussion among
w the players already wakes
hot. Frank ODoul Of the Dodgers,
who is quite a hitter in his own
right, predicts that the left-handed
sluggers of the Yankees will have
none too sweet a time in the Chi
cago park.
ODoul, who hits from the first
base side of the plate himself, says
he is forced to adopt a crouching
stance at Wrigley field which puts
him at a disadvantage. He stresses
the act that this is true even With
a right-hander working for the
Cubs.
You see they really haven't single
southpaw for the classic. Their one left
handler Jake MAY. has done next to no
pitching al all in the last six weeks.
While o Doul is hot on the subject along
comes Waite Hoyt, former Yankee, and
nov with the Giants.
AN that talk OF the Chicago pitchers
stopping Ruth, Gehrig, Dickey and Combs
in the Cub field is the bunk" says Waite.
THE right field bleacher at Wrigley Field
is soft Easier than the bleacher in the
Stadium. Why. the whole layout in Chi
cago is made TO order for those Yankee
murderers It looks like Yankee series
to me and am not disparaging the class
of tho Cubs, or their fight and spirit, one
bit
Joe Mccarthy. who managed the Chi
cago club for five years, SAYS When you
hit them hard in Chicago they 60 Just as
far as they do in the Stadium " That
seems to give the decision to Hoyt over
o Doul on points.
