WORLD'S SERIES opponents final workout American League Team Still Rule Favorites But Odds Steadily Dropping NEW YORK, Oct. 3. (By the Asso ciated Press) Baseball. America's na tional sport will arise to the dignity of Pii i'ttena 'onal episode tomorrow when the local National American lea.sue teams open battle for the 1922 world series championship. Keen as is the interest that will fo cus on the Polo grounds, from all por tions of North America, when the Giants and Yanks, cross bats, hardly less, surprising are the arrangements made to flash the details of each game from the Polo grounds. Although lacking international com petitive character, the outcome of the play holds international interest. Judg ing from the preliminary plans an nounced, the scores and high lights ofe every contest wil be cabled to South .America, Europe and Asiatic countries, while ships on the seven seas will learn the outcome from wire less waves. With such world wide In terest illuminating the series, the zone of conflict is ablaze with baseball en thusiasm. New York and its inhabitants to night apparently had dropped, for the time being, all cares of the work-a-day world. Conversation hinged on wheth er, "Babe" Ruth of the Yankees would wreck the Giants' machine with his home run bat, or Arthur Nehf, the Nationals' pitching ace would- turn back the heavy hitting Yanks in the initial clash of the .-.; ies. Telegraph and cable wires radiate from the polo grounds to all points of the compass. Score boards and play er boards with their vari-colored lights glisten from points of vantage in all parts of the city. Thousands of fans who will never see the inside of the baseball coliseum during the series will follow every play from these boards or radio descriptive service to be broadcasted miles beyond the sight of the Giants .stadium. tl is the old story of a house divided U.B.Thrifty SA5 hVfu t v1 1 IJ$ , Je against itself. East vs. West in a world series and New York roots for the home team, regardless of the fans leasuo aftiliations. tonight, however,! the baseball atmosphere is surcharged with the most crackling of all rivalry for internal dissent ion regarding the ability of the two local teams and their individuals stars have divided the fans j against themselves. I Although the American league play- j ers still rule favorites to reverse the! decision of a year ago the odds are j steadily dropping. In place of the 8 to 5 ofrers prevailing last week, Yankee! supporters quote six to five tonight! and there is little betting even at j theso short odds. . j Visions of the closeness of the plas , twelve months back when the same teams fought for world series honors! and thrilling climax in the final ton test which gave the giants five games to three, leaves even, the most ana lytic fan shaken in his conclusions. Careful study of the available records and season's averages fail to evolve an outstanding favorite. Supporters of the American league pennant winners point to the greatly increased strength of the Yanks pitch ing staff. Giant rooters countered with the claim that the Nationals too. have gained strength since 1921, and in manager John McGraw, the Napol eon of baseball, have a diamond strat egist of incomparable calibre. Whatever the result of the four out of seven games series, the play will lack none of the atmosphere and scen ic surroundings which have made the worlds series, wherever played famous as an American sport contest. Every, reserved seat in stands and boxes has been sold and given fair weather such as the local forecaster heralds for tomorrow, 22.000 unreserv ed seats should be occupied long be fore the first Yank batter takes his place at the plate. The huge horse shoe shaped stadium will be aflutter with flags and pennants, many of which have seen similar service in past series. Bands will play and dig nitaries of national and state and base ball bodies lend their presence and voice to the climax of another diam ond season. , The advance guard or numerous out of town spectators are already taxing the capacity. New records in either attendance of gate receipts are unlikely however, for with the return to the seven game series, duplication of the figures es tablished in last season's best five out of nine games appear impossible. An other year, when the Yanks' new park with its 70,000 to 80,000 seating capa city is completed, there may be a dif ferent tale to tell, but this season the 1921 total receipts for eight games of $900,233 and the aggregate attendance of 269,977 seems safe. It goes without saying that both Manager McGraw and Miller Huggins the Yanks' mentor, will send their strongest combinations in to battle to morrow. In a short four out of seven series victory in the initial games spell an advantage which it is hard to overcome. ( The Giants are expected to open with Artie Nehf facing the American club standard bearers. Nehf has won 19 games out of his 37 starts in the National league pennent race this sea son and is about the Giants pitching ace. Huggins is expected to send Joe Bush to the mound to secure the in itial edge on the McGrawiles.

Miners and Merchants Bank BUSH WILL PITCH FIRST GAME FOR YANKS; McGRAW CONFIDENT HIS TWIRLERS WILL HOLD OWN NEW YORK, Oct. 3. Managers Miller Huggins, of the Yankees, and John J. McGraw, of the Giants, is sued statements tonight: Huggins said: SSJ "Joe Bush will pitch the first game tions about the length of the series. I simply say that we ought to win it." McGraw said: "We'll give a good account of our selves, you may he sure of that. We hear a lot about the strength of the Legion Champ for the Yanks.

Sarazen who has been practicing in this district for three days, said lie felt fit to participate in a golf match, a style show or both. i end. Much will depend on "Babe" Ruth's ability to hook into the de livery of the opposing league's box men. Twelve months ago, he was not in physical condition to do himself justice. Aside from a slightly strained side today, he is ready and Yank fans are hoping that the Bambino will de liver in substantial fashion in his sec ond facing of the Giants' hurlers. Ruth was out with the Yanks in their final practice which began short ly after 10 o'clock this morning and ended when the Giants ambled out about 11 o'clock. He leaned hard against the pitching, sent a couple from his club into the cooler altitudes and then disappeared. The teams worked similarly, the reg ular infield practice as they do before a game and the outfielders chasing fungoes and some of the pitchers and catchers passing the ball. 1 Batting all around ended the ses-1 sions.
