the target for some plain and fancy
dugout jockeying Even Manager
Mccarthy has taken exception to
Meltons quotations.
The feud is likely to break out
in earnest Thursday when Melton
faces the Yanks in the second game
The Yanks have a crew of caustic
jockeys who can make even a vet
eran lose his poise.
Betting men quote the American
league champs 7-5 favorites to take
the first game. Gomez has never
lost a world series game, but this
is his first opener. He holds a de-
cision over the Cubs in 1882 and
beat the Giants twice last year in
big score games. Hubbell has pitch
ed and won two world series open
erS.
Manager Bill Terry, almost recoV-
cred from his recent attack of flu,
will iuggle his lineup against south
paws When Gomez pitches, Hank
Leiber, righthanded batter, will
play center field, and bat in the
cleanup position. When right hand
ers pitch, Lou Chiozza, a left hand
ed batter, will play center and hit
sixth.
First Baseman Johnny Mccarthy,
who twisted his ankle in infield
drill Sunday, will play first base
for the Giants. His ankle is still
tapped.

joeLouis Coggins Heads Fight Program
Manuel Ortiz and
Jimmie Allen Will
Meet Coast Puqs

Many fight cards produced by
valley matchmaker5 have been tout
ed as all-star cards during the past
season, but Thursday night at the
Ell Centre athletic club the closest
approach to a true all-Star program
will be presented, starting at $50.
Joe Louis Coggins, the classiest
light heavyweight to show his
wares in the Ell Centre arena this
season will meet his match in the
main even when he clashes with
Johnnie O'Teras of Los Angeles.
Coggins kayoed JoJo Halman
without even opening up when he
fought the Ell Centro Negro a few
weeks 40 but he will be forced to
exert all of his cunning and hitting
power to knock over the clever Los
Angeles battler.
The semi-Windup will feature
Manuel Ortiz against frankie Ca
sio of San Diego. Casio boasts an
outstanding record and can be
counted ON to make a fight of il
when he trades blows with the
state flyWeight champion.
Jimmie Allen, Ell Centro Negro
will face the toughest fight of his
career in the fifth spot when he
tries to end off the win streak ol

EDITORS NOTE: This is the
second in a series of three articles
summing up the chances of the
world series teams, the New York
Giants of the National league and
the New York Yankees of the
American league, as seen by
George KirkSey of the United
Press.
Offensively or defensively. in
dividuaily or collectively the Giants
infield must be conceded the edge
over the Yankees for the world
series-on- -the-Subway which will
open wednesday at Yankee stadium.
But even this concession to the
Giants has a catch to it-Lou
Gehrie might upset the apple cart.
Gehrig has played in five world
series and never been shacklej at
the plate.
The Giants take all the other in
field laurels As a unit the Giants
are outhitting the Yanks 300 to
.277 The Yanks. however, have
driven in 333 runs to the Giants
295, Gehrig supplying this edge be-
cause Of his production OF l55 runs.
Johnny Mccarthy, showing a re-
markable comeback after hitch on
the bench, comedies nothing to
Geilrig as a fielder. Burgess White
head. unsung hero of the Giants,
has it all over the aging Tony Laz-
zeri. who plans to go into retirement
as an active player at the end OF
the series. Dick Bartell, has de-
cided edge over Srank CroSetu, hav-
ing only a mediocre year. Mel OFT,
who took up his third base duties
on Aug. 3, has proved the games
best third baseman during the past
two months and must be given the
nod over Red Wolfe even though
the Yankee has the better fielding
mark.
Behind Gehrig the Yanks' in
fielders do not show much power
at the plate with LaZzeri hitting
.243. Crosetti .237 and Rolfe 276
The averages of this trio havt
shrunk 1876 points below their 1885,
marks. Bartell leads the Giants in

House IN Dark on Ciuil Seruice
As Po,uer Fails During Debate
Anonymous Wit Fills Lightless Chamber
While Presiding Officer Bangs
Gauel-EleuutOrs Halted.

An insignificant electric dynamo
down in the underground labyrinth ol
the Capitol Building stopped working
suddenly last night, and lot of things
happened
In the first place the entire Capitol
was plunged into total darkness. Ele-
vatorS stopping running wherever
they happened to be at the time
Timid women screamed in the cor
ridors. And men with money in their
pockets held on to it.
But the lights, as things happen,
went off at the most inopportune
time The Senate had quit for the
day, but the House was still in ses-
sion and in the heat of debate over
bill to place postmasters under civil
service.
In fact, Representative Luce, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, was in the
well Of the House at the time telling
the members what he thought about
the bill when the lights in the cham
her grew dim by degrees and finally
went out entirely.
There was a moment of complete
silence. On the Democratic side
some one lighted cigarette in the
darkness. Smoking on the House floor
Is strictly taboo, but in the darkness
the offender could not be identified.
But when a member on the Republic
can side lighted a cigarette, Represen-
tative Woodrum, Democrat, of Vir.
ginia, who was presiding over the
House at the time, banged the gavel
and said seriously:
I've been informed that the lights
will return in few minutes. Please
don't smoke on the floor or in the
galleries"
A few minutes later another light
dickered near the entrance to the
Republican cloak room. Somebody
had found candle. Its dim rays
guided few members to the COM
Portable divans in that ante room to
await the return of light.
The silence, however, was too much
for some of the restless members.
From the Democratic side came q
shout:
"Mr. Chairman, is the electrician o
civil service employer"
There was a mild ripple Of laughter
and another brief period of silence.
Then from the Republican side the
House members heard q cry in the
darkness:
"Mr. Chairman, Mr. Chairman"
"You can't recognize member in
the dark" came a retort from the
Democratic side.
But, Mr.. Chairman" said the voice
on the Republican side, this is a
gentleman from New York"
And another ripple of laughter. But
before there were any more wise cracks
the lights returned, as Woodrum pre-
dicted, and after an outburst Of ap-
plause the House resumed considera-
tion OF the postmasters' bill.
Evening star., 1937-01-29

The members, however, were un-
aware as to what happened on the
outside of the chamber. E. B. Belts,
veteran Georgia popularist. who op-
crates the private elevator "for men,
bers and the press" found himself
caught a. few feet from the subway
landing without current enough to
60 either way. Fortunately there were
no members in his elevator at the
time.
One Of the public elevators on the
House side was at the first floor land
ing waiting for riders when the cur
rent went of. But the other was
nearing the first floor with only one
passenger, a Capitol policeman. He
scrambled out unassisted.
Altogether the current was of seven
minutes, according to Official records.
And the cause? That's still a mys-
terry. Even the best Capitol elec-
tricians insist they don't know.
