PAGE TEN THE MICHIGAN DAILY Hubbell Vs. Murderers Row' Is Lineup For Series Opener . v Cardinals Are Conceded Little Chance To Rally Yankees Are Expected To Annex The World Title Within Six Games Opener Is Sept. 30 Giants Depend On Hurling For Victory While Yanks Rely On Batting Power It will be the great left arm of Carl Hubbell vs. Murderers Row of the New York Yankees when the Giants and McCarthymen clash Sept. 30 in the opener of the 1936 World Series, the first "subway series" since 1923. At the present writing Bill Terry's club is out in front of the field in the National League race by four and one-half games and should not be headed. Few of the experts give the Cardinals a chance to overhaul the Gotham nine and fewer rate the Chicago Cubs as the team to win the pennant. Yanks Favored The Ruppert Rifles who have slugged their way through the Amer- ican League season, without giving quarter to anyone at any time will probably go into the series the fa- vorite. The Yanks as a whole are hitting better than .300 and with the "Iron Man," Lou Gehrig, and Bill Dickey leading the fence busting of- fense are expected to take the world title in no more than six games. Manager Terry will be depending practically solely ,upon his hurlers to carry the team to victory. Such is usually the case of the National League entry in the annual fall classic while the American League teams apparently possess the greater power at the plate. Hubbell is the one ace of the Giant mound staff while in a supporting role are Gu'mbert, Fitzsimmons, Ga- bler, Coffman and Smith. Terry and Ott lead the hitting parade and are always feared when at the plate with men on the sacks. Ruffing May Open Old Charley Ruffing may get the call to start the opener for the Yanks or even one of two other old timers, "Bump" Hadley or Monte Pearson, both of whom came to the Yanks in last winter's trading. Malone and Broaca are also. bound to see service on the hill while the role that Lefty Gomez will play cannot be predicted. The latter has had a poor year but is closing in great style and may find McCarthy sending him to the hill in one of the first two games. The series will open in the Na- tional League champion's park and the first two games will, be played there. The next three will be in Yankee Stadium and if any more are needed the teams will be back to the first diamond, expected to be the Polo Grounds. Such is the seating capacity of these two parks that five games on a sellout basis will result in a new record for receipts. The listed seat- ing capacity for Yankee Stadium is 63,300 and of the Polo Grounds 47,400. New York was treated to its last nickel series 13 years ago and at that time the Yanks defeated the Giants four games to two. Leading Factors In National League Race I Stoller Makes U. S.

Carl Hubbell (left) is the main hope of Manager Bill Terry in the forthcoming World Series if the New York Giants are to take the measure of the Yankees for the world championship. Little chance is given the St. Louis Cardinals to beat out the Giants for the National League pennant, but should they do so practically the entire pitching burden will rest on Dizzy Dean, the famous and sometimes eccentric right hander of the Frisch club. 1 ' i .j I Burt Smith Shows Promise With Fine SandlotPitching Record By RICHARD La MARCA Although only known to Michigan sport fans as a hockey player, Burt Smith, who is also quite a pitcher, was, up to this past season, known to Detroit baseball fans as the "John- ny Allen" of the sandlots. Learning how to master his temper, improving his curve ball under the guidance of Coach Ray Fisher, and being coached by bon Ridler, well known sandlot catcher who won All-American grid honors while at Michigan State, have been the main reasons why Burt has chalked up 14 wins and three losses for his best season during his three years on the sandlots. Redeems Ineligibility A mid-semester ineligibility, which Smith redeemed at summer school, kept him from taking the mound for1 Michigan and deprived him of his, Varsity letter in hockey as well as competing in the crucial series againstMinnesota's sextet in the Colesium last year. Glen Gray Garage, a team which was considered the "dark horse" at the start of the Triple A race, be- came the leading threat for cham- pionship honors after Smith won consecutive victories over American Bud, Karp Coal, Dr. Dix, Biggs, and Plymouth before his support cracked and "threw" the game to Tivoli, '35 champs who were beaten in the tourney finals by Altweiser. Smith set a new Triple A strikeout record in the American Bud tilt when he fanned 18 batters. These hurling feats caused Urban "Red" Faber, former star pitcher for the Chicago White Sox now serving in the capacity of a scout, to take a trip to Detroit to especially see Burt in action. After watching Burt beat Biggs and Karp Coal, Faber ap- proached Ridler with a contract which Smith later declined in order to continue his studies at Michigan. Pat Deary, scout for the Boston Red Sox, as well as Wish Egan, Tiger "ivory hunter," have also kept their eye on Smith. Played With De Soto Playing with Chrysler De Soto in the Industrial League, Burt has' won nine and lost two. His five game winning streak during which he al- lowed a total of 17 hits or an aver- age of 3.2 hits per game enabled the De Soto team to enter the playoffs. In 1934, his first year on the sand- lots, Smith won seven and lost six while playing with Borden Creamery of Class A. During the 1935 season Burt won five and lost 4 with Paris Cleaners in the newly established Triple A league. Smith was picked as an alternate pitcher to accompany Tivoli to the national tournament at Cleveland. According to statistics Smith has averaged 5.6 hits per game for each year and 10.3 strikeouts for the last three seasons. won in the semi-final trials and also won the National Intercollegiate title in the event. In the Randall Island finals he was running well until he hit the last hurdle and fell, losing all chance of making the team. At the time he was running fourth, but moving up fast and only inches out of third place. Stone Falls Short Walt Stone, distance star, finished fourth in the final trial for entries in the 3,000-meter steeplechase, missing the boat for Berlin by only one posi- tion: He had qualified for the finals by taking third in the semi-finals and a fourth in the A.A.U. meet. Later in the summer he proved his mettle before several thousand New York track fans by winning in splendid fashion the steeplechase in the World Labor Meet. Bill Watson, only a sophomore, was third in the Olympic semi-final trials in the shot put with a heave of 48 fee, 81/8 inches and thus qualified for the finals but, even so, did not enter. Brelsford, Etchells Place Two other Michigan men placed in the national intercollegiates, Clayton Brelsford taking fifth in the 1,500- meters and Widmer Etchells a fifth in the discus. While not as impressive a list of performances as those by athletes from some other schools, notably Ohio State, these marks speak well for the success of this year's Michigan track team. Ohio State loses several of its stars while Stoller, Osgood, Brelsford and Watson will all be back here. Stone also has another year but as yet it is not known whether he is return- ing this semester. Of course, the suc- cess of the Wolverines in the Big Ten meets may depend largely upon the outcome of Jesse Owens' activities. If the Buckeye star is able to compete as an amateur it means trouble, and plenty of it, for the all of Ohio's op- ponents. THAT'S TRAVELING The Yale golf course is so laid out that a player doing 18 holes, per- forms in three towns and one city.' i Williams Will Lead Quest For Second Straight Ball Title A fiery, hard-hitting catcher who did not play in a single game last season will captain the 1937 Mich- igan baseball team in its campaign for a second successive Big Ten championship. Kimmy Williams, regular backstop of the 1934 and 1935 seasons, is the individual in question and in Wil- liams Michigan .should have one of its greatest leaders. Kimmy suf- fered a sudden illness last February that forced him to withdraw from school for the semester and after many months is now reported on the road to recovery. He will not come back to Ann Arbor until the second semester this year, remaining at his home in Katonah, N. Y., to gain back some of the many pounds he lost while ill. The loss of Williams was a hard blow to last season's team but his shoes were ably filled ehind the plate by John Jablonski who grad- uated last June. SKUNK CATCHING CHAMP Charles Moning, a selectman at Plymouth, Mass., was named "official skunk catcher," in December, 1935, owing to his expertness in the profes- sion and was presented with a com- plete skunk-catching outfit by Police Chief Russell Dearborn.
