GIANT DEFENSE, GREEN BAY AIR
 ATTACK FEATURE
Crowd of 5O,OOO Will See Game at Polo Grounds
 BettOrs Say Even
BY GEORGE KJRKsEY

New York, Dec. 10 - (UP)-The Worlds Series" of professional football, always a high scoring af- fair, seems likely to stay in char acter tomorrow when the New York Giants, eastern champions, battle the Green Bay Packers, western ti- tleholders, in the sixth annual. playoff game. Some 50,000 will see the game.
 The Giants and the Packers are the two highest scoring teams in the National League. Greet Bay has scored 223 points, new league record, and New York I94 points.
 Both teams have varied attacks, combining the ultimate in passing and running. On the ground the Packers have outgained the Giants, 1871 yards to l,5O0. and also have a slight edge in passing, 1,466 yards to 1,142. The Giants, however. do not pass as often as the Packers and hvae better passing average -48.9 per cent new league rec ord.
 High Scoring
 Four touchdowns are the least that ever have been made in playoff game. In 1883 the Chicago Bears nosed out the Giants, 23-21. The next year the Giants won from the Bears, 30-13. Detroit over whelmed the Giants, 26-7, in 1895. Green Bay outscored the Boston Redskins the next year, 21-6. Last year the Washington Redskins rode Sammy Baugh's passes to 28-21 triumph over the Bears.
 Although the Giants beat the Packers, 15-3, on Nov. 20, the gamb- lers rated tomorrow's game a toss- up. The reason was because Don Hutson, the Packers star end, is back in shape. He didn't play in the other Giant game. This year he has scored nine touchdowns, caught g passes for 548 yards gained and scored 54 points.
 The Packers aerial game back fired in the last Giant game and there were indications from Coach Curley Lambeau'S headquarters that SASSAA 4SNy Q AVA A0Jo AAAOV blIC VIII be more wisely conceived this time. The Giants intercepted five of Green Bays 21 losses, and turned one of them into a touchdown.
 StandOuts
 On the ground the Packers lead- ing runners are Cecil Isbell, the Texas boy with the chained arm" Clark Hinkle, the battering Ram, Joe Laws. a. straightaway runner, and Bob Monnett, who runs with power as well as speed. The Giants four big guns are Tuffy Leemans. who is a change or pace artist. Hank Soar, a Speedsted, Ed Da- nowski, a knifer, and Bull Karcis, who guarantees two yards every time he starts.
 The Giants are banking heavily on their superb defense to shackle Green Bays attack again. ES-ing the season the Giants led the league in three important defensive de- partments-allowed least opponents points, 79: least opponents yards, 2O29; best pass defense, permitting only 34 per cent of the opposition's passes to be completed.

 NO PLACE FOR
 FRANKIE FRISCH
Former FOrdhafn Flash Is "Out" StOneham
 Indicates

New Orleans, Dec. 10-(UP0 - Baseball men moved north today after one of the busiest minor league conventions in history-both in the meeting halls and on the ivory market"
 Dozens of trade reports echoed about hotel Hobbies as the diamond brigade left for New York to con- tinue discussions and bartering next week at the major league meetings.
 The latest rumor was that the Pittsburgh Pirates had outbid the New York Yankees for Freddie Hutchinson, sensational 19-year old Seattle pitcher in the Pacific Coast League. It was said the Pirates have offered $50, 000-$20, 900 more than the Yanks-for Hutch. Seattle had been asking $75,000 for its young star.
 Another report was that Frankie Frisch, former St. Louis Cardinal manager, definitely had turned down a $12,500 offer to manage the New Orleans Pelicans. Gabby Street recent manager of the St. Louis Browns, was mentioned most prom inently as the new Pelican pilot. No Room
 Frisch, it was said, had been hop ing to break into the New York Giant organization. Reports had it that the Giants would conclude an agreement with New Orleans and that Pancho Snyder, Giant coach, would become Pelican manager, leaving a coaching job for Frisch with the New Workers.
 But last night in New York, Giant President Horace Stoneham was quoted as saying: There is no place for Frisch in the Giant organiza- tion."' It was believed that Frisch, who said he is certain of landing a major league job, was dickering for a coaching position with Pittsburgh or the Philadelphia Phillies.
 One trade that seemed certain was sale of Zeke Bonura, Washington frst-baseman, to the Giants. Stone ham and Clark Griffith, president of the Senators, are expected to meet in New York Sunday and talk some more about, the deal.

 The Detroit battler won a '1O- round decision before a, crowd of 5000 but he was unimpreSsive.
 A powerful hitter. Toles battered the blond Finn throughout, but was unable to score 8 knockout, even though the Gunnar was virtually helpless during the last live rounds.
