YANKEES 18TH SERIES

The Yankees, defending world
champions, will be battling in their
thirteenth series. In seven they
were guided by Joe Mccarthy, who
once again Is at the helm. He
also managed the Cubs 10 league
title being the only pilot 10 win
pennants in both leagues.
A veteran OF six World Series,
the red headed 3S-year-old Ruling,
was obviously chosen for his ex-
perience. He won six series games
while losing only one. He pitched
the first game in five OF the sets.
Lefty Gomez was the Yankee
starter in one series. Ruffing won
Ia games against 7 losses in the
American League season just
ended.
Heralded as "the pitcher OF the
year" the 2S-year-old Cooper who
will be pitching in his first World
Series, captured % games and
dropped only seven over the sea-
son in the National League. He
pitched in the all-star game in
New York in July, which the
American Leaguers won from the
Nationals, 3 10 /. All three runs
were made off Cooper. with Lou
Boudreau and Rudy York fashion
ing home runs.

NEW YORK. Sept. 30 GNS).-
Bill Hutchinson. former triple
threat star at Dartmouth. today
was a full-fedged member of the
New York football Giants. Hutch
inson still is remembered at
Hanover for his single-handed VIC
tory over Harvard in 1887 when
he scored three touchdowns. He
will make his pro debut against
the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday.

boom times and a belief OF many
that the series may be the last
for the duration is believed to be
the main factors in the terrific
interest.
From New York comes reports
that even that proud metropolis,
shedding a time-honored smooth
ness, has gone provincial enough
TO exhibit a certain amount OF
whackiness over the coming con-
tests at Yankee Stadium, which
start Saturday, ------
Proof of the demand for tickets
In New York was the plea of Will
Harridge, president of the Ameri-
can League, for tickets. The Junior
league prexy tried to get some
tickets off Jack Zeller. the Tiger
general manager.
THREATENS 1925 RECORD
With such interest in New York,
the total attendance might APP
proach if not actually top the
mark of 32S,051 totaled by the
same teams-the Yankees and
Cardinals in 1926. However. the
Yankee Stadium would have TO be
packed with $4,000 for each of the
three games scheduled for New
York TO achieve this goal.
With Grover Cleveland Alexan-
der winning two games and pitch
ing the final innings Of the seventh
and last game of the series, the
Cardinals edged out the Yankees
for world chamionship honors that
year. d,
The Yankees, however. enjoyed
sweet revenge for that setback
when two years later they roared
victory over the National
Ieaguers in four straight games.
The Cardinals participated IN
three other fall classics-losing TO
the Athletics in 1880 and winning
from the Athletics in 1881 and
from the Tigers in 1884. Detroit
fans will not forget the boisterous
1884 tussle with the Cards led by
the Deans-Dizzy and Daffy-Pep-
per Martin, Joe Medwick and other
gas-house gangsters.

viii be playing IN his seventh
World Series. While his batting
average over the stretch has been
but $50. Dickey is recognized as
a dangerous money hitter as well
as an outstanding catcher. Be-
cause of illness, Dickey this past
season did not catch his usual
quota of 100 or more games.
Joe Gordon "the Yank OF the
Year" will be seeing action in
his fourth series. He hit .349 in
the three sets in which he has
already competed. batting 500
and driving in five runs against
Brooklyn last year. With a
formidable mark of 1856, the
brilliant second baseman led the
Yankees in hitting in the league
schedule this year.
Joe DiMaggio playing in his
sixth, has averaged .296 in World
Series competition. His low was
last year-.263-and his high
.346-in 1886. But, his bat packs
a wicked home run threat. as
does that of Charley Keller.
Keller bagged 26 homers and Joe
81 this year.
Roy Cullenbine, ex-Tiger play

sett, the first sacker. are the only
members of the New York teams

played in a series. None of the
Cardinals who will start today
have ever seen action in the big
event. Stan Musial and Enos
Slaughter are the heavy guns in
a batting order not regarded as
too potent. Their seasons marks
were .296 and .2S9. respectively.

How soon? Well. plants are in oper-

But the answer hinges also on further

Ready now for the tests.
And 50 today, instead of ships
bringing crude rubber to the tire
factories, tank cars are rolling in
from the oil fields. To produce as
much rubber as we used to import,
one per cent of our petroleum pro-
duction would suffice. And the
cost, in mass production, is ex-
pccted to be only five per cent
more than the 1910 cost of natural
rubber.

First of Series

This is the second such mass
meeting held in Greenbelt, and the
first of a new series which will
offer pictures and talks once a
month in a program planned to
present a careful balance of en-
tertainment and instruction in
connection with home defense.
Admission to this entertainment
will be the purchase of 25 cent
defense stamp. Subscriptions for
other defense stamps and for bonds
will be a feature at the entrance
to this and to future Civilian De-
fense Mass Meetings.
Defense Corps members who
have been issued armbands will
wear them to this meeting. 1t is
expected that armbands for the
Canteen Unit and for the Messen-
gers will be distributed during the
program.
"These meetings." Commander
Rysticken explained, "are part of
the necessary training Defense
Corps members must have to COM
ply with civilian defense regula-
tions and therefore compulsory for
all members of every unit of the
Corps. The public is urgently
requested to attend this meeting
and all future mass meetings, for
the information they will obtain by
being present will be very helpful
to them in protecting their own
homes in case of a raid and, too, it
will show them quite clearly what
a defense corps, well-equipped and
trained, can do for them during an
actual raid"
Thirty-three women are enrolled
for sewing and knitting for the
Red Cross Unit and to date, 686
hours of active service have been
put in by the sewing branch.

Library Exhibit
Marks Book Week

Forward With Books" the
theme of National Book Week this
year, will be stressed in a display
in the Greenbelt Town Library
during the coming week. Mrs.
Reba Harris, librarian, reports
that the Macmillan Publishing Co.
has supplied the library with a
display of books for the exhibit.
National Book Week is designed
to arose public interest in the use
of more and better books for
children. The group of books
which will be shown in the local
library next week includes vol
umes of interest to children of all
school grades.
Paper flags of 20 of the United
Nations will be arranged in the
library as part of this display.
Mrs. Harris announces that the
library will furnish bookmarks to
all children and to adult patrons
of the library.
National Book Week has four
purposes (D to encourage in
boys and girls the love of books;
(2) to increase public apprecia-
ton of children's books; (3) to
increase, maintain and support
public book facilities; (4) to in
crease home ownership and COM
panionship through books.
New Greenbelters will find the
town library located in the Ele-
mentary School, near the east en-
trance. Books are available for
adults as well as for children.
