HOW UNITED PRESS
 EXPERTS FIGURE

New York, Sept. 30--(UP)-Here's how the United Press sports staff dopes the world series:
 Stuart Cameron-"The Giants will win in six games because I think they will outright the Tanks on the field"
 Henry McLemore-"I like Hub bell and the other eight guys in six games"
 George Kirksey "Hubbell will win the first game, and then the Yankees will win the next four straight"
 Jack Cuddy-"The Yanks in six games"
 Leslie Avery-"Too much Hubbell for the Tanks"
 Harry Ferguson "The Tanks will outslug them in six games"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-09-30

wait until we play the first one.
 McCarthy's decision to start Ruff fling, who pitched and won the open ing world series game against the Cubs in 1882, means that the Yankee leader believes his club has chance to beat redoubtable Hubbell. He comedies the Giants nothing, not even with Hubbell on the mound.
 Rulings presence in the batting order gives the Yankees nine-man array of hitters as the big pitcher is a dangerous batsman.
 Hubbell, whose miraculous pitch ing brought the Giants from fifth place in mid-July to the champion ship, has never faced as imposing a lineup of hitting talent as he faces today.
 Every mans a menace-Crosetti Selkirk, Lazzeri, Rufflng. He has nc breathers or soft spots.
 While Hubbell will be tryidng tc score his 17th consecutive triumph the Tanks have 8 little record ot
 heir own hanging in the balance They will be after their thirteenth straight world series victory. The Tanks knocked off the Pirates in four straight games in 1927, repeat ed against the Cardinals in 1928 and duplicated the feat against the Cubs in 1882. The last time the Tanks lost a world series game was to the Cardinals ten years ago when Hubbell was just breaking into pro- fessional baseball and striving to perfect a pitch known as the screw ball, now recognized as the most baffling delivery in baseball.
 The all-New York series marked the fourth clash between the Yan- kees and Giants. In 1921 and 1922 the Giants won and in 1923 the Tanks triumphed. Only one active player survives the previous "sub- way" series, Travis Jackson, Giants captain who got into the 1923 serie: as pinch-hitter.
 Pitching plans of both managers are uncertain beyond the first game. If Hubbell wins the first game, Manager Bill Terry plans tl start Hal Schumacher in the second game. If Hubbell loses, Frec Fitzsimmons will be his choice. Int Tanks pitcher for the second game will be Gomez, Bump Hadley or Pal Malone. depending largely on the outcome of the opener.
 Terry feels that the Giants will surprise the whole baseball world with their answer to the Tanks famed power.
 Prom the papers," Terry re- marked sullenly, you'd think the Giants would be lucky. to win a game"
 Terry has Chifted his batting or- der, dropping Mel Ott, Giants lead sns scatter and home run hitter, tc the cleanup spot in place of Jimmy Ripple. rookie who'll hit fifth. Terry will move from fifth to Ctt's old No 8 spot. This batting order win pre- vail except when Gomez pitches.

LITTLE c. c. C."
BEING FORMED
Youth Administration Plans
National Program of
Soil Conservation.

The National Youth Administration
yesterday launched little C. c. c."
with plans to put unemployed youths
at work on a Nationwide program of
soil conservation and water control.
Youths between the ages of 18 and
Is will be given work on such jobs as
building small dams, terracing oper-
ations, planting. and assembling rain
fall and run-off data. This work also
will take young women within its
ranks, Deputy Director Richard r.
Brown announced. Girls in the same
age group will be engaged in preparing
exhibits and other material designed
to promote the general cause of con-
servation in schools and community
centers.
The new conservation program will
not call for any additional outlays Of
Federal money, it was announced, for
it will form a phase of the regular
work program for which allocaticns
totaling $l0,00O,00O already have been
made. It will be merged with similar
work conducted by the Soil Conserva-
ton Service, the Agriculture Depart
ment, State highway commissions and
other allied groups.
Youth directors throughout the
country are being authorized to sub
nit projects of nature suitable for
the labor of young men and women.
General features of the program were
approved here by officials, following
their attendance at the Upstream
Engineering Conference last week.
Youth directors and their aides from
a number of interested States attend
ed the sessions, and the technical as
poets for the cooperation Of the Ma
tional Youth Administration were
worked out last Friday.
Brown said that no estimate was
possible at this time, either of the
number of youths who will be put to
work or the amount Of money which
the N. Y. A. might invest in the pro-

GAS FIRM MERGER
TO GET HEARING
Proposed Purchases Of

Considered Tomorrow.

Public hearings will be held tomor-

sion on the proposal of the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. 70 buy the Alexsn-
dria and Hyattsville gas companies
for a price totaling s1,375, 900.
The purchase proposals are a result
OF the move Of the Washington and
suburban companies, a Massachusetts,
trust, to dispose at public sale the "a
per cent of the stock it owns in the
Washington company.
Petitions for the sale of the Wash
ington Gas Co. stock, as we'll as for

company, have been filed with the
Interstate Commerce Commission as
well as with the District Commission.
The I. c. c. will hold hearings We'd
nesday on the proposed consolidation
Of the Washington and the suburban
companies.

ed primarily in the question of
whether the purchases would un-
favorably affect the finances of the
Washington company. The company
proposes to obtain bark loans to cover
the purchases and then later to issue
stock to cover the loans.
The District Commission has indi-
Gated it will seek to reveal all pertinent
facts and reach its decision on the
basis of what the whole picture dis
closes.

USE Of JUDGMENT
IN TICKET FIXING
ADVISED BY SEAL
Hard and Fast Rule Against
Quashing of Charges
Viewed UnWise.
PROSECUTION POLICIES
WILL BE DISCUSSED
Corporation Counsel Calls Con.
ference as Result of Hooe
Statement.

Suggesting that a certain amount
OF Judgment" should be exercised on
liking" of traffic tickets, Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal yesterday
called a conference of all his Police
Court assistants, to be held tomorrow,
for q review Of all prosecution policies.
The conference is direct result of
the declaration by Rice Hooe, in
charge of the assistant corporation
counsel staff at Police Court, that he
objected to sll-or nearly all ticket
fixing"
Seal indicated he felt his assistants
at court should use some measure of
discretion in quashing minor charges
Of trafic offenses or in the diminui-
ton Of the charge against offenders.
Reasons Are Given.
"Of course" Seal said, the regula-
tions and the law should be applied
as equally as humanity possible in all
cases. However, at times there are
mitigating circumstances and. again.
there are times when public interest
is served by dropping of charges.
THE legal representative of the Dis
trict, after hearing all the evidence, of
course, must use his judgment as to
whether case should be taken to trial
or whether the charges should be re-
duced. That is the purpose of the
hearing before the prosecution official.
"On the other hand, I do not favor
fixing of such cases as driving while
drunk, leaving the scene of accident,
pure cases Of reckless driving and the
like. Nor do I favor dropping of
charges of mere overtime parking
against those who persistently disobey
the rules day after day and think they
can get OF by merely sending note
to me or an assistant counsel. These
should be punished.
Opposes Inflexible Rule.
even so, there can be no hard and
fast rule that no charges can be fixed.
That doesn't work any better than a
policy of allowing any or all cases to
be fixed"
Seal revealed also that he had
dropped the practice initiated by his
predecessor, E. Barrett Prettyman, of
keeping list of all cases fixed, includ-
ing the names Of those who asked that
charges be dropped or decreased.
Seal said he found no real benefit in
that practice.
The conference will be started at
pm. tomorrow in Seals ONCE.
