GALLANT DEFENSE
|. SAVES NEW YORKS
Ruffing Scramble Through
Tilt Safely w'tt Great
lnfield Support.
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent of The Star

CHICAGO, Oct. 6.-The Yankee
special, steaming up grade and down,
rolled in on scheduled time. In the
opening salvo yesterday at Wrigley
Field big Red Ruffing whipped big Bill
Lee, to /, as Yankee bats plastered
the pride of Plaquemine, La, for II
hits.
The Yankee attack, led by lanky
Bill Dickey. the Arkansas Traveller,
with four hits in row, lacked the
expected thunder of mighty blows, but
there was steady rataplan Of shorter
punches that turned the trick.
Ruffing pitched steadily with head,
heart and arm in the tight spots of
the wind-blown afternoon, but, even
so, he needed brilliant support from
his infield cast to scramble safely
through. Crosetti, Gordon and Gehrig
were all over the infield, playing like a
swarm Of ball-playing centipedes.
Great Day for Bill.
Dickey was something more than a
thorn in Bill Lees feet of flesh.
He was poisoned harpoon, cobra
and fer de lance. The tall, lean
entry from Arkansas had one of his
greatest days. In addition to his four
hits, Bill pilfered base and stopped
a Cub run with a headlong dive for
the plate. Dickey threw his features
squarely into the way of flying spikes
to make this play on Stanley Hack,
another hitting star.
1t was not, however, so much Yankee
bats that gave Joe McCarthy's team
the jump game. 1t was the steel-shod
ability of their defense, especially
along the inner line.

NOVA LOOKS BEST
OF PALTRY GROUP
Colored ToIes Out of Luck
for Shot at Crown in
Reign of Louis.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-The search
for heavyweight to mix on something
like even terms with Joe Louis goes
on with great fervor and astonishingly
poor results.
Lou Nova, the crude but powerful
Californian who stopped Gunnar Bar
lund Monday night. is the only candi-
date to emerge from the lower strata
OF heavyweights. The great mass of
truck drivers, farm hands and steel
workers that usually nurtures the con-
tenders has supplied exactly nothing.
All the other contenders have old
and somewhat tarnished names. A
glance at the ranking list reveals such
familiar monickers as Max Baer, Tony
Galento and Tommy Farr. Jimmy
Adamick, Jack Kearns' wonder boy, is
out Of 1t, assisted by Roscoe Toles, the
large and exceedingly tough Detroit
Negro.
To1es Must Wait.
Offhand you would think Toles
would be listed among the outstanding
contenders. He has beaten Adamick,
who was regarded very favorably in
some circles, and on his own admission
is willing to meet any one from Louis
down.
There is one flaw. 1t Is ring tradi-
ton that tight between Negroes sell
dom draws more than the st. Louis
Browns. Mike Jacobs knows it, and for
that reason Mr.. Toles Is due to waste
his hooks on the tank-town air. He
will not get the big shot while Louis is
champion.
Nova gained considerable stature by
eliminating Barlund. True, it wasn't
a decisive victory. The Gunnar cuts
easily and when a cash over his left
eye started to pump blood in the
seventh, Artie Donovan waved the
Finn to his corner.
Until then, except for the third
round, 1t was all Nova. He is big.
bronzed kid who fights in stand up
style reminiscent of the figures in
British boxing prints. He looked best
against the Finn when he was pump
ing his left into the Barlund kisser,
worst when he attempted to mix with
his opponent.
Tony Temporarily Quiet.
1t took the hottest National Base
ball League race in years to eliminate
Galento from the sports pages, but the
round one will be back there swinging
and hollering-this winter. 1t will
not be surprising if Galento emerges
as the best contender and lands a fall
shot at the champion, although the
thought Of what Louis jab will do to
Tony's SCARED noggin causes strong
men to shudder.
Galento can do something few in
the bunch can do. He can hit. Baer
too, can punch and that's why he
probably will get a June shot at Louis
on the Coast. The impression re-
mains that the fellow who beats Louis
will have to smack him early and
often.
Great care has been exercised to
keep Baer out Of the ring He prob
ably will meet the Bomber with no
preparation save . tune-up with some
warrior with the fighting qualities Of,
say, Shirley Temple.
Max is the last man around able to
draw anything near . million with

CHICAGO CHILLED
BY COOL RUFF|NC
Yank Master Strategist as
He Mixes Fast One With
Fine Hook for Win.
By JOHN LARDNER,

Special Correspondent Of The Star.
CHICAGO, Oct. 6-The New York
Yankees switched on their patent re-
frigerating system at Wrigley Field
yesterday and frosted the Cubs of Chi
cago, hot up till now. on both sides.
Charles Rufus Rufflng, pitching his
third World Series opener, let down
the National League champions with
nine scattered hits and paced his ball
club to victory in the first game of the
series Of 1898, 3 to i.
The Yankees are shooting for their
third consecutive world championship,
a trick never turned before, and it
looks as thought they will turn it.
Though they drove out IL hits off the
combined deliveries of Gen. William
Lee and Fireman Jack Russell they
were not really clubbing the ball in
Yankee style. They were showing
other phases of their balanced roper
tory-brilliant fielding and tight, cool
pitching.
Ruffing Never in Trouble.
Ruff1ng never was in trouble. He al
ways led. He mixed his fast one and
his fine curve with the judgment of a
master strategist. And behind him, in
the Yankee inf1eld, Lou Gehrig, Frank
Crosetti and Joseph ("Flash') Gordon
were playing the defensive game of
their lives.
The Cubs had to be hot to win the
pennant the way they did. The fans
thought that maybe the heat wave
would linger, with Gen. Lee, the iron
man, on the hummock.
But the temperature dropped very
suddenly in the breeze of Rulings fast
ball. The taH General" pitched pretty
well, under the circumstances. He
worked four days in a row last week,
stealing the pennant from the Pitts
burgh Pirates. He may have been
tired, in spite Of f1ve-day rest.
1t might be good idea to work him
today, Saturday and Sunday, If his
union does not squawk. The big fellow
can hardly get started on one after
Moons chores.

They are our guards, Swede OLSON

lineup Sunday against the Giants.
There really is terrific battle
