New York, Oct. 7-(UP)-The Greeks had word for 1t, and 1t was the same as ours
 INSOLENCE!
 To me that nine letter word tells the story of the first game of the 1887 world series, in which the New York Yankees treated the New York Giants as If they were just 8 bunch of boys who blew into town and hurriedly chose up @ side.
 Let's go back to the first half of the fifth ming. The Giants are up. The score is co. Ripple, first man up for the Giants, bangs out @ sin- gle. A minute later Johnny McCar- thy-"One Note Johnny"-slaps an- other single, chasing Ripple to third.
 To nearly everyone in the stands and there are 10000 "everyones" packed in there-it looks like the ball game. Because Carl Hubbell, pitching for the Giants, appears in- vincible. The "meal ticket" his crooked left arm whipping up and down and out with the speed of @ snakes fangs, has silenced the Yam kees' artillery, and with each pitch he appears to be stronger.
 "dive us one run," the loyal Giants rooters say, land it's our ball game. That's all we need-just one across"
 That's Manager Bill Terry's strategy, too. He plays for one run when the "meal ticket" IS working.
 And then-and here's where in- science reared its head with @ re- sounding pop-Manager Joe McCar- thy says-in effect-"Let the buns have one run. Sooner or later we'll knock their brains out"
 He said this-McCa Carthy did-by signaling for his infleld to play deep. Waving them not to come in. As

OPERATION AHEAD
 FOR YANKEE ROLFE

New York, Oct. 7-(UP)-Robert (Fed) Rolfe, Yankee third baseman, will enter St. Vincent's hospital im- mediately after the series and un- dergo an operation for removal of Q growth on his thigh 1t was dis closed today.
 The growth has become painful, but Rolfe continues to play.
 The growth--A calcium deposit has been in his leg since birth. The thigh began to pain him recently, he said, T have to get up every now and then and stretch"
 Doctors believe the growth now Is pressing on @ muscle as well as on nerves and that 1t is affecting his eyesight. Significantly, his batting average which climed from .287 to .3l9 in three previous campaigns, fell of to .277 this year.

 Betting men favored the Tanks today, quoting odds of 9 to 5, and raised the odds on the Tanks win. ming the world championship to Q to 2. Ruffing was cocky as he prepared to face the Giants be. fore Q crowd of more than e0,00O.
 IT have as much stuff as had in Washington when I won my 18th game last week." said Ruffing, Its going to be Q no-hitter,"
 With Q right-hander working for the Tanks, Terry will shift his bat. ting order. Hank Leiber, who went hitless in { times ct bat in the opened, will be benched in favor of Lou ChioEza, Q left-handed batter, Jimmy Ripple will move up to bat m the cleanup spot and ChiozaE Will hit sixth. The Tanks will maintain the batting array which notched the opening victory.
 Echoes of the Carl Hubbeii'E downfall in the opener brought sew. ere criticism of the American league umpres. The Giants claim Hubbell had Lefty Gomez struck out in the sixth inning when hO was given d base on balls which started a 7.run rally. With the count 3 and q Gomez was awarded the fourth ball by Umpire Ormsby of the American league who was behind the plate.
 American league umpires are ball callers," said Terry. dThev evi. aently aren't used to low ball pitch. ing. We thought Hubbell had Gomez famed"
 After Gomez walked -. he later walked again in the same inning-. the Tanks ran riot, pushing over T runs on 5 hits, four walks and two errors. In this dizzy frame the Giants got so excited they Rot their own players mixed up.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.-How much
better a football player is
Sammy Baugh now than when

thousands of fans at Wrigley Field
Sunday, when the Washington
Redskins and the Chicago Bears

fessional Football League cham

Baugh, at Texas Christian Uni
versity, generally was recognized as
one of the greatest forward passers
ever developed in college circles.
But as freshman sensation Of the
pro league and the aerial spearhead
Of the Redskins this season, 1t be-
gins to appear that Baugh as a
collegian may have been just a
novice at the game when COM

pay circuit.
There isn't much question that
Singing Sammy is better now than
when, as a member of the COL
legiate all-stars, his pass helped

much better-and Coach Ray Flah-
erty OF the Redskins had this to
say:
I'VE will show Chicago a much
finer football player than the
Baugh who played with the COL

passing ability even more danger

Ruth's Golf Seems Trifle Overrated

would be an innocent lamb to
