The Waterbury Democrat., 1932-09-30

The wearisome, one-sided world series of 1882, bereft of baseball drama and thrills in the first two games at New York, will be re- gumed tomorrow with the Yan- kees holding two victories and needing only two more to capture their fourth world championship.
 After 20 hours spent in travel the two clubs were to arrive to-day. the Cubs at 1:45 EST and the Yam kees at 2:55.
 For the Yankees the intermis- sion was an unwelcome respite from their triumphant march over the befuddled National League champions.
 For the Cubs it was great re- lief from the sad events of the past two days and an opportunity to gather their forces for a spirited comeback.
 >, Cubs on tho Run
 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 1928 against the Cardin- als.
 But the Tanks may find the Cubs at home a radically different op- ponent from the blundering, almost pathetic ball club which fell before the American League champions at Yankee Stadium, 12-6 and 5-2.
 The surroundings at Wrigley Field have Q strange effect on the Cubs. They play like 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. , With their two most formidable pitchers, Guy Bush and Lon War neke, beaten, their batsmen-with the shining exception of Riggs Stephenson-render helpless by the Yankee pitchers, Red Ruf1ng and Vernon Gomez, the Cubs out look is far more dismal than 1t was when they made their great come back to win the National League pennant.
 Past performances show the Cubs have performed their best when the odds against them were the greatest, They are not quit ters. :.
 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 Huggins, will be on tho firing line for the Yankees.
 Root Next Choice
 Charlie Root, out of Middletown, O., who reached his greatest fame under the direction of Joe sMcCar- thy, when the Yankee manager was at the helm of the Cubs, will attempt to stem the New York ad- vance, for the Cubs.
 Pipgras never has lost world series game, and Root never has won one. Pipgras beat the Pirates in 1927 and tho Cardinals in 1928, allowing only II hits in two games. Root was beaten by the Athletics in the opening game of the 1929 the box in the fatal 10-run rally the As put on in the 7th inning of the 4th game of the same series
 But Root had victory almost in his grasp in both games. He held the As to 1 run-a homer by Jim- my Foxx-until the 9th inning of the first game, and had allowed only hits until the bottom dropped out in the 7th inning of the 4th game.
 Root is a curve ball pitcher, with quick delivery. He used to have dazzling speed but uses it conserv- atively in his declining years. He has control,
 Pigras won 16 games and lost during the season, and Root won 15 and lost 10. Each is 33 years old.
 The weather forecast for tomor- row was for clear skies and mod crate temperature. The capacity for Wrigley Field is 51,900.
 The betting odds are almost pro- hibitive on the Yankees, with the American League champs 1 to 10 to win the series. and to to win the third game. The price against the Tanks taking four straight is only 8 to 5. The odds against the Cubs winning straight are 20 to 1, and against them taking two straight 1-2 to 1.
