PROVIDENCE TO OPPOSE XAVIER
 UNDER LIGHTS
Eichner, TorringtOn Boy, One of Friars Line De.
 pendables of I937
(specIal to the DemocraO

Providence, R. T., Oct. 5.-Provi- dence college, ranked as Q major football power in New England after It's even battle with the powerful Holy Cross eleven last Saturday, will engage an intersectional opponent here Friday night in the first major college Aoodlight game of the sea- son. Xavier university, of Cincin- natl, one of the major football powers of the middle west, will be the Friars foe here Friday night in one of New Englands outstanding clashes.
 To meet the attack of the strong Ohioans who played Kentucky to Q standstill last week only to lose 6 to 0, the Providence college conting- ent will rely on It's powerful for- ward wall headed by two grand guards in Captain Ben Polak, the nations youngest captain, and Nor- man Eichner, 195 pound senior from Torrington. This pair was out- standing against Holy Cross, with 'Eichner winning the praise of every sports writer and fan by his smash- ing line play which completely halted the offensive attack of the Crusaders ace. Bill Osmanski.
 Going Up
 A victory over Xavier will estab- fish the F'riars quite high in the football Armament, and if they show the game they did against Holy Cross the westerners will need all the hocus pocus that Glenn Grove can uncover, Grove, one of the members of the famous Seven Mules of Notre Dame fame, is planning to bring his outfit east two days before the game, and will establish head quarters in Boston and will work out at Boston college on Thursday
 The game with Providence will be played at the new Cranston city stadium, and advance indicat tions point to one of the largest crowds ever to watch fioodlight game in this state.

|, Thanks to e inasterftil bit of fore- sight this department was not caught mapping. As long ago as n o'clock this morning we began a careful, hurried inarshailing of world series data for the ififorma- tion of our customers. Working hand In glove with the National Association of Glove Manufacturers we unearthed scores of interesting and little known facts pertaining to what one writer with Q beautiful choice of words has termed Ease. balls Annual Autumn Fall Classic
 Minute Stun
 No fact was too trivial for my concientious research men to un. earth. Tn fact, I doubt if as many trivialities were ever brought to light before. Here they are, listed in the same order in which they were dug up: ~
 In the 34.year history of the series no team, either winning or losing, has had Q stuffed cheetah for a mascot. The nearest approach was in 1919 when one of the contenders had several live "cheaters" on the squad.
 The distance from the home plate ct Yankee Stadium to Oklahrna city is 1896 miles, or almost twice as far as t is from Pisco, Peru to 0uay- aquil.
 Bill Terry, manager of the Giants, rarely employs rortuguese when cd. dressing his players, preferring Eng fish which he speaks with Q de- cided accent.
 Joe Mccarthy, Yankees manager, Is Q firm disciplinarian. Some of his "don'ts" for players are: 1. Don't view eclipses of the sun for any length of time without putting on dark glasses. 2. Don't keep pythonS around the house as pets. 3. Don't shoot sitting birds. {. Don't smoke an opium pipe, either on or off the field.
 To become world champions c team used to have to win five games. This was shortened to best o. seven in order to allow the base ball writers to write thousands of words on how anything can happen in short series.
 No world series player has ever given his cut of the gate receipts to charity.
 No world series player ever will,

 The sacks used to mark first, sec- oid, and third bases make comfort. able and novel cushions for swings If Q softer stuflng Is substituted and the canvas cover replaced by Q lighter fabric, such as chintE or dotted Swiss.
 The hit and run play in baseball was inspired by the tactics used at big recess by c cowardly little gram. mar school boy in Butte, Montana, 30 years ago.
 For some reason the best basebalis are those that are covered with tho hide of horses who spent their colt. hood In stables with an eastern ex- posture.

TANKS TO 'RIDE' MELTON SINCE REGENT REMARK
World Champs [ to 5 Bet to Win First Tilt; Terry
 to Juggle Lineup
By JAMES KTRI1sEY

 United Press Staff CoFrespondent)
 New York, oct. C--CUp)---A rising feud between the world series rivals commanded the spotlight today as Manager Joe Mccarthy of the New York Yankees prepared to announce the pitcher who'll duel Carl Hubbell, Giants screwhall master, In tolnor- rows opening game ct Yankee stR- alum. Lefty Gomez is expected to be the man, a Principal character in the budding feud is Cliff Melton, stringbean southpaw with the big ears and the rookie hero of the National league champions. It ell started three years ago when Melton was up for trial with the Tanks. Lately he aired his opinion of the Tanks in on in. terview, saying they had more braG'n than brains. He was quoted as having said that the Yankee reg ulars never spoke to him and that Bill Dickey cost him Q major league job then by calling for the wrong pitch in an exhibition game.
 Mccarthy "EEOt" t.
 Now the Tanks are on the war; path and threaten to make Melton the target Of some plain and fancy dugout jockeying. Even Manager Mccarthy has taken exception to MeltonB quotations.
 "fIow does that guy get that way?" stormed Mccarthy. He had every chance to make good but just wasn't ready"
 The feud Is likely to break out in earnest Thursday when Melton faces the Tanks in the second game. The Tanks have Q crew of Caustic jockeys who can make even Q vet. eran lose his poise.
 With Gomez almost certain to op. pose Hubbell, the greatest day south- paw duel in more than 0 decade of world championship play Is in pros. pect.
 Regardless of who pitches for the Tanks, betting men quote the Amer ican league champs 7--6 favorltes to take the first game. Gomez has never lost c world series game, but this is his first opener. He holds e decision over the Cubs In 1882 and beat the Giants twice last year in big score games. Hubbeli has pitched and won two world series openers.
 Lefty CT Red?
 If Manager Mccarthy pulls Q sur- prise when he announces his pitch. Ing selection today after Q confer- ence before Commissioner K. M. Landis over ground rules, his man will Do Red Rufing, who pitched the opener for the Tanks In ioS2 and last year. .i
 Manager Bill Terry, almost com- pletely recovered from his recent attack of flu, will juggle his lineup against southpaws. When Gomez pitches Hank Leiber, . right-handed batter, will play center field, and bat in the clean-up position. When right-handers pitch Lou Chiozsa, Q left-handed batter, will play center and hit sixth.
 First Baseman Johnny Mccarthy will play first base for tho Giants.
 Five Tanks are nursing colds, but only one of them, outtielder Jake Powell, hero of last years series with Q batting average of .4bO, is likely to Do unavailable. Powell has Q bad sinus infection in addition to his cold and has lost ii pounds. The Yanks under treatment for colds are Lou 0ehrig, George Bel. kirk, Myril Hoag and Pat Malone.

TzCO More Red SOa Pitchers
 To Be Aired
By ERNEST BARCELLA United Press Stan CorrespOndent)

United Press Stan COrrespOndent)
 Boston, oct. 5.--(UP)-Letting the sports chips fall where they may:
 You can expect the Boston Red Sox management to swing the axe again after the world series |. Release of Pitchers Rube Walberg and Al Thomas was just the begin- ming and had been in the works for some time. ..
 At least two more twirlers are due to get the bounce ... and their names aren't Lefty Grove and Jack Wilson. There's also talk that Oscar Melillo, the veteran second- sacker, will be let go. .. And don't drop dead if Eric McNair is used as trading material during the com- ing winter That would put young Bobby Doerr in line for the second base job ...
 You cen also be sure the Sox front-ofi1ce powers won't make promises to their farm teams like they did the past season when 6 couple of nifty young pitchers named Dick Midkiff and Emerson Dicknan were tied up in the minors '. According to the best information, Manager Joe Crohin didn't even know about the arrangement |.
 Too Much Golf?
 One more thing You can and should expect c different attitude at the Box spring training camp |. It seems the boys were more golf minded then baseball conscious dur- ing the 1887 preparation period. This extrascurricular spirit was re- hected in their play during the late lamented campaign.
 The Boston Bees didn't win any pennantS, but besides virtually knocking the Chicago Cubs out of the National league championship chase they had Q couple of pitchers who made history .. We mean Lou Fette and Jim Turner ..
 When Jim won his goth game Sat- urday and Lou his 20th Sunday, 1t was the first time two flrst.year pitchers on the same club ever have won that many games in their initial whack at the big time 1. Their records are strangely paral.
 ., What . Pair!
 Fette won 20 and lost 10 Turner won 20 and lost il Fette pitched 260 innings and per- n1itted 243 hits Turner twirled 267 innings and allowed 227 hits Lou was found for e2 runs, walked 9i men and famed 70 Jim ai. lowed 90 runs, passed 63 and whif. fed 72 .. Each had five shutouts Fette is 30 Turner Is 3i Both came up from the Ameri- can association and they're room mates and pals.
 Speaking of first year men . Three of the four umpireS selected to work the world sreies will be making their debut in baseball's blue-ribbon classic There's Bill Stewart the former Eastern leaguer and hockey ofaciator whose Chicago BlackhawkS start training five days hence, George Barr and Steve Basil Emmett Ormsby is the only veteran among them ..
 And we'll take the Yankees

The total salmon pack of Wran- gell district for the week ending July r, 1897. was 60,300 cases as against 49.427 cases for the com parable da-e of 1886, according 70 A. P. Romine, bureau of fisheries agent of the district.
 While -here has been some local Encouragement regarding the pack it is not wholly justified, stated r s. Barnes of the Wrangell Packing Company today. who is optimistic about the final pack.
 The fish are striking in at Snow Pass and large runs were reported yesterday 5eeding about three miles offshore Prince of Wales island. The Kings Mill trap of the Diamond K Packing Company has begun fishing and though to date the fish are scat tering and the Stikine river is not showing up so we'll. the outlook is favorable. This is the year when flsa of large size were expected but SO far the size has been just about sy- craze.
 The DiamOnnd K will have pazk of approximately l5.000 cases by to- night and the WrangeI Packing Company 10000 cases. Last night the ARB Packing Company had a pack of 10000 cases.
