This VIII be the fourth time the

this series.
Manager Terry has definitely
decided to pitch King Carl Hub
bell in the opening contest. Pilot
Mccarthy of the Yankees was
about ready to announce Lefty
Gomez as his starting hurler out
the Span:ard made such poor
showing in his last game, that prob
ably Red Ruffing will get the nod.
The American Leaguers will en-
ter the series as the favOrite out
fit with the betters.
The Giants have the edge in
pitching but the other depart
ments are covered by the Yanks.
Great pitchers have always been
the factor in the success of the
Giants-Christy Mathewson in
1905, for instance. He twirled
three shutouts in the World Series.
And now they have Carl Hubbell,
one Of the greatest southpaws of
them ALL
On the opposite side of the
fcnc, the Yanks have always
. boosted a great array of sluggers.
1t used to be Babe Ruth and Bob
Meusel, Now it is DiMaggiO and
Lou Gehrig.
