Central Press Sports EDITOR

Central Press Sports Editor
New York, Sept. 28-Power and
pitching should win the world series
for the Yankees in not more than five
games.
With such a pitcher as Carl Hub
bell, the Giants should win one game.
If Hubbell starts the second game
against the Rupert Rifles, expect
him to be overpowered by the at
tack of the smuggling American league
crew.
Hubbell is expected to be a sure
starter when the fall classic gets I'M
der way Sept. 80 at the Polo Grounds.
He may win the opener. If he does, 1
expect the Yankees to take the next
four in row, beating Fitzsimmons,
Gumbert, Gabler or any other pitcher
sent to the slab against them, includ-
ing that same Hubbell if he is sent
back again.
Great Hitters, Good Pitchers
The chief reason for this predic-
ton is that the Yankees have shown
murderous power in establishing
themselves as the standout ball club
in the American league, while the
Giants have only Hubbell and a good
defense to explain why they won the
National league flag. Backing the
Yankees strength at bat is a fine
pitching staff.
Every baseball fan in the United
States knows how the Yankees won
the pennant. On the Rupert roster
are three great htters, in Dickey,
Gehrig, Di Maggie. Others batting
above 300 are Selkirk, Hoag, Rolfe
and Powell. When Ruffing pitches
you have, with the exception of Cor
setti at short and Lazzeri at second
a whole team shifting better than
300. And the second base pair are
among the most dangerous batters in
the league.
How did the Giants win the pen
nant. But for Hubbell's presence on
the team, statisticians must find the
victory hard to explain. Perhaps
Paul Deans loss to the Cardinals was
a big factor. Certainly the Giants
haven't the punch of a championship
team, with only five 300 hitters on
the roster-Ott, Terry, Moore, Ripple
and Mancuso-and Terry playing
only part time because Of bad knee.
Ripply has been regular outfie1der
only recently, warming the bench
most of the season.
Defensively the Giants are better
than average, especially around sec
ond base where Dick Bartell operates
with Burgess Whitehead. But with
Sam Leslie playing first, the defense
is weakened considerably, and Sam
has had to play most of the year. The
aging Travis Jackson, a dependable
third baseman, but a 235 hitter, fills
out the inner defense.
Prefers Di Maggie
Mel OFT is the star of the outfield
in which the slumping Hank Leiber
had to give way recently to Ripple, a
first year man. Joe Moore is a good

Electrical Fence
Has RealDangers
To Man and Beast

College Station, Raleigh, Sept o.
The lightly charged electrical pasture
fence, now gaining popularity in GER
tain areas, is not without its dangers,
warns D. E. Jones, extension agricul-
tural engineer at State College.
The electric fence, he said, consists
of strand or two of wire through
which an electric current is kept flow
ing. After two or three shocks, ami
mails learn to stay away from the
:'ence.
Thus an expensive fence that can be
easily moved from place to place
when desired will, when charged with
electricity, keep cattle in a pasture
just as effectively as a heavy more
costly fence, Jones stated.
The cost of keeping the fence char
ged is small, he added, and for this
reason it is growing in popularity
with the identification of rural areas.
But unless the fence is properly
charged, he went on, there is consider
able danger of too heavy shocks kill
ing livestock or human beings He
cited instances of horses, cattle, and
hogs being electrocuted by coming in
contact with fences that were ener-
gized directly from ITO volt lighting
circuit.
He also pointed out that a charge
of current that may be safe on a dry
day may prove fatal when the ground
is wet and the animals are damp.

enough outfilder, but can't be rated
as highly as Di Maggie or Powell of
the Yankees outer defense. Di Mag
gio has been outhitting him, and is
to be preferred as fly chaser, too,
according to my book
In just about every department of
the game I like the Yankees better
than the Giants, but chiefly because
they're hitters. Gehrig, Di Maggie or
Dickey can break up a ball game
with one go Z Bat is true that
Gehrig and Dickey bat left-handed,
but it's my guess that Southpaw Hug
bell will bother the right handed hit
ters more than he will the left be-
cause of his screw ball, which falls
away from right-handed batters.
OF the Yankee pitchers I expect
Gomez, Hadley, Pearson and Malone
to be most effective, in that order
Gomez is just rounding into his best
form. Malone, being acquainted
with the Giants through his years as
Cub pitcher may turn in a surpris-
ing performance if he starts. Ruffing
has not been up to his usual form
lately, and may have to wait for a
chance to pitch.

Chapel Hill, Sept. 2S-Hardly re-

According to a monthly, summary
of forest fire statistics, issued today
by the Department of Conservation

amounted to $24,798, in August, a
slight decrease from $26,576 in July.
The report showed a wider area
covered by forest fires in August,
when 19,469 acres were burned over,
than the 1910 covered in July but
the firses last month were less severe
The average damage per acre last
month was only $1,28 compared with
$l.94 the previous month.
The number of fires dropped from

destruction from the conflagrations
