Leslie, Leiber, KOenig Are Likely Replacements in 1 National League Team HAL SCHUMACHER TO GET SECOND CHANGE Red Ruffing Will Be Yank' s Hurler; Giants Are C0n-
 ceded Slight Chance
BY GEORGE KIRKsEY

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Yankee Stadium, New York, October 5. = (UP) = The New York Yankees and Giants resumed the World Series, with the American leaguers expecting to end the contest today with their fourth victory.
 Even the fans considered the series is as good as finished sfter Carl Hubbell's fail- ure to check the Yankees in Sum- days game before cord-break- ing crowd of 66,669.
 An early estimate placed the probable attendance under 5000. The bleachers, damned with 18,00O fans more than two hours before Sundays game started, were. only sparsely filled an hour before game time. The $3.30 unreserved seats in the upper deck of the triple-tiered stadium were almost empty.
 A reported shakeup in the Giants lineup in one last desperate effort to stem the tide of Yankee triumphs, now at three straight, could not be confirmed.
 when a reporter attempted to see Manager Bill Terry in the Giants dressing room under the stands, he was barred.
 When the Giants came on the field Terry was not with them. The Giants leader, so crippled in the left knee, that he was hobbling around the field like one-legged man at the finish of yesterdays game, planned to remain in to the last.
 "I'm going to stay in there as long as my knee will hold me up." Terry said yesterday. "I1l never play again though after the world series"
 Terry may have changed his mind overnight and decided to send Sam Leslie, who has made two hits in GWU tuAAcS ot DdV ao Q PAASA AAASeSAS to first. Another probable change was Mark Koenig at third in place of Travis Jackson or second in place of Burgess Whitehead, who hasn't made a hit in four games. There also was a possibility that Hank Leiber might replace Joe Moore in left field.
 When Koenig, who got a single as pinch-hitter in the ninth yes- terday, started warming up, he ap- peared to have a stiff back.
 The overnight pitching selections remained the same-Hal Schu- macher for the Giants and Red Ruffing for the Yankees. Both are right-handerS.

 Paris. Oct. 5-(UP)-French fas- cists, pursuing Q new line of att. tack against the left front govern ment, are trying to undermine the loyalty of the national police forces. it was reported in reliable quarters today.
 As part of the campaign, they began today Q fierce attack on the regular police forces and at the same time appeared to be trying to win to their cause the crack mobile guards, corps d'elite of the national police who constitute the shock troops against disorderly elements.
 To meet the threat that loyalty of some of the law and order forces may be undermined, the govern ment, it was learned, began quietly shifting key men in the armed forces.
 The new turn to the fascist at- tacks was accompanied by reports that the smuggling of arms into France from Switzerland was di- rectly due to fascists.
 Rumors that have developed from this phase of fascist activity caused Bishop Maurice Du Bourg, of Marseilles, to send circular let ter to newspaper editors denying that churches and convents in his diocese were being used as fascist arms depots in preparation for the outbreak of civil war. Bishop Bourg offered to open any church or con- vent for inspection.
 The fascist forces suffered a dam aging defeat yesterday. Col. Casimir Francois de la Roque, chief of the fascist Croix de Ecu organization, mobiliEed his men to prevent com munists from holding a gigantic

 For years, Cunningham said, he avoided Mockbee. But Sunday they met in the cafe.
 "It was Mockbee. At least l thought so. Still, I didn't want to make a mistake, so I went up to a man and asked him.
 Why, that's Vernon Mockbee, he told me.
 T boiled over. jtkt walked back to that table and shot him."
