games, while the Yankee has
averaged only . little less than
one run driven across per con-
test. And yet there ID another
angle TO consider.
Unlike Ripple, the Yankees Mr..
Selkirk has been used mostly against
ht-handed pitching. He is noto-
riously weak against southpaws, our
own Earl Whitehill proving it time
and sgair. lf carl Hubbell opens the'
series for the Giants, as he undoubt-
edly will. selkirk Is likely to be re-
placed by Bob Seeds. . nuch-kicked-

only q few weeks ago that, after all,
there is q Santa Claus.
Giants Reserves Are Better.
SEEDS is just another ball player,
but he Is steady and. given this
big chance Of his life, he may come
through with the performance of his
life. A few weeks ago he was plying
his trade with Montreal, his future
ostensibly embracing only minor league
ball. As q White Sox, Indian and
Red Sox he was deemed not good
enough. Then -Myril Hoag was In
jured and the Yankees, casting for Q
replacement. grabbed Seeds.
Bob may start in right field
when Hubbell Or Al Smith
pitches, but Ripple figures to
be ut least on . par with him.
There Is little to choose when
comparing Ripple with the
Yankee right -fielders.
As in nearly every department,
which will be discussed later, the
edge in reserves must be awarded the
National Leaguers. The Giants spare
outfielders are Hank Leiber, the blond
slugger from Phoenix, and George
(Kiddo) Davis, who must be con-
sidered OF his 1888 world series rec

Associated Press Sports Writer.
4 r. AND MRS. NEW YORK
Nu woke up today to q complete
wv monopoly Of the 1896 world
1 L series.
The Giants clinched the National
League pennant yesterday by splitting
winning the right to meet the Amer
ican League Champion New York
Yankees in the first subway series"
in 13 years.
The result Is that Mr. and Mrs. New
York-or any Of the thousands who
come to town for the classic starting
next Wednesday-can get to the home
grounds Of both contenders, on op-
posite banks Of the Harlem, for the
price Of subway ride, . Scent piece.
Pitcher Makes Winning Hit.
THE luck that has featured the
= astonishing pennant-b bound drive
Of the Giants since mid-July held OFT
Is they put the clincher on. Prince
Haw Schumacher pitched splendid
seven-hit ball in the opener and drove
in the winning run with q single In
the tenth. But it was the "break"
Of q two-base error by Bill Urbanski
on Travis Jackson's grounder in the
extra frame that put the run in scor-
ing position for Schumacher's hit.
In the nightcap, Bill Weir, the New
Hampshire collegian, faced q second
string Giant aggregation and set them
down with six hits for . 40 Bos-
ton win.
The opening win was the Giants
ninety-first of the season, and their
nfty-first against 10 defeats Cnclud-
ing the nightcap setback) In the tre-
mendous drive they started on July Is
which shot them out Of the second
division and into the title. It was the
second Giant pennant victory since
Bill Terry took over John McGraw's
job Is pilot Of the club. They won for
him In 1888 and beat the Senators
In the world series.
Cards Win Big Pair.
MAIN interest for the rest Of the
A'A way in the National League
fight centers In the battle for the other
first division berths. The Cardinals
assured themselves Of at least q tie
for runner-up money yesterday by
trouncing the Reds twice, winning the
l2-inning opener. 5-4, and taking the
curtailed nightcap. 20, behind Dizzy
Deans four-hit pitching for the six
innings the battle went before dark
ness called halt.
The Cubs dropped 40 decision to
the Pirates, with Cy Blanton holding
the ex-champions to three hits. The
result was that the Cubs will have to
win their remaining two games, while
the Cards lose the rest Of their
schedule, to gain . tie for second place.
In the only American League game
Of the day, the Yankees wasted Monte
Pearsons two-hit pitching for the
seven innings he worked, and Lou
Gehrigs 'forty-ninth homer Of the
season, by dropping 4-3 encounter

matches the sensational Joe Di Mag
gio. The rest Of the flock, while good
ball players, merely are bunch Of
guys named Joe, Jimmy, Bob and
George.
OFT and Di Maggie, over the

are the cream Of the patrol

may be outshone by . Ripple
or SeIkirk, but the most &C.

what they have accomplished
In the regular campaigns.
OFT, tested under world series fire
once before-in 1888, when the Giants
met the Senators shows an unofncial
batting average Of 1927 for 148 games.
Di Maggie, most sensational rookie Of
the year, shows an average of 1913 for
1874 games.
As run producers they still are
evenly matched. OFT has driven
across 1856 runs and Di Maggie has
chased 123 runs across. Both hit
long balls and either is capable of
breaking up a ball game. Afield the
edge must be given to Di Maggie, both
for his fly-chasing and throwing arm.
Moore Rated Over Powell.
THE rest are average, but steady
= players. In left field the Giants
have Joe Moore, who. like OFT, saw
service in 1888. Moore IS somewhat
like our Johnny Stone In that he Is
q vastly underrated bali player. He
can field, hit and run the bases and
in any comparison he must be given
an edge over Jack Powell, who does
the left-felding for the YANKEES firm.
For his seasons play to date,
Moore shows . $40 batting ~.
erage for 148 games. Az lead
OF man for the Giants most Of
the time, he has driven across
"a runs. He II not . long hitter,
but he gets his share and he
gets on base often.
Powell will play left field for the
Yanks throughout the series, barring
accident. In 1876 games, as both .
Yankee and q Senator, he has batted

| two months Of the season. Used far

"The Littlest Rebel" starring Shirley Temple comes to the Cameo theater Sunday and Monday.
 Because of It's dramatic suspense and its many scenes of tender pathos, "The Littlest Rehep gives Shirley her first real opportunity as Q dramatic actress, while her capac- ity for song, dance and laughter never falls to astonish and delight audiences.
 John Boles and Karen Morley plays Shirley's parents, while Jack Holt is cast as tho gallant Union officer who attempts to aid Shirley and her father In on escape after her mother sueoumbs to the rigors of war.
 The dramatic force of the p ic- ture is heightened by the inter- ludes of song and dance. Bill Rob. inson, the lovable champion Of tap dance, again assists little Shirley in series of intricate and de- lightful routines. Her songs, in- cluding that beautiful classic, "ff All Thy Endearing Young Charms" are hlghlighted by new number Folly Wolly Doodle" by Sidney Glare and B. c. DeSylva, who also served as assistant producer on the picture.
 The added attraction is Man of Iron" starring Barton MaoLane,
