GIANTS TAKE OPENER 4T02 Senators Discover That The New Yorkers Can Hit NEW YORK, Oct. 4-H^j—Prowl ing about the baseball strongholds today was Joseph Edward Cronin, young leader oX the Washington senators, rallying his forces for the second game of the World series, and keeping a sharp lookout for those fellows who told him Bil* Terry's Giants couldn't hit. It was probably less of a shock to him than he'd care to admit that Carl Hubbell, screw ball king of the National league pitchers, struck out ten of his own migncy batsmen and allowed but five hits, all singles and a couple of tnem scratchy, as the Giants raced away with the opening clash of the an nual inter-league battle, 4 to 2. But there was plenty to amaze him, and with him the Amertcm league experts who conceded ttw pitching mastery of the Glams' staff but laughed at the mention or their attacking power, so light dur ing the regular season that four teams in their own league outoa ted them. There was a major change In '.he tone of all concerned as Cronin definitely nominated “GeneraF Al vin Crowder, his right hand star and wheel horse all season, to work the second game against young nai Schumacher, the Giants' right handed sinker ball sensation, who has been Terry's second game nomination for at least a wees.

Johnny Cruz Returns To Valley Scraps Thursday Johnny Crux, curly haired little 120-pounder who used to wow Brownsville and Mercedes fight fans with his clever boxing ability, has been signed up for the main event of the boxing card to be held at the Vets' arena here Thursday night. It has been three years since Johnny campaigned in the Delta, but if he is anywhere near his old form the fans should see plenty. It was Orux, a stand-up scrapper Mike to Battle Kid Monterrey (Special to The Herald) HARLINGEN, Oct. 4 —Kid Mon terrey, so It seems, told a group ol friends he could beat Mike Mar tinez without half trying. The friends lost no time In spreading the news and it reached Mar tinez' camp. It was too much for little Mike, who rushed in to Promo ter Doc Cook and demanded that he be givne a shot at Monterrey. 80 they will meet in the 10 round main event of the fight card to be presented at the American Legion arena here Friday night. Martinez opened his Valley cam paign by giving Dick Wymore a fancy lacing and last week got a draw with Jimmy Azarella. Mon terrey got a draw with Wymore on the last card. The 8-round semi-final will pit Jiggs Stockton. 155 pound Harlingen boy who Is now In the army at Ft. Ringgold, and Raul Mendiondo, 153 of Harlingen who Is Lupe Ro driguez’ boy. The special event, bringing to gether Azarella and “Gallo" Guerra of San Benito may steal the spot light. This is certain to be an in teresting tussle from beginning to end. Guerra, old Valley ItfVHtt, got off to a flying start by kayoing Juan Omar. Azarella got a draw with Martinez last week, and may give Guerra a fancy boxing lesson.

His opponent Thursday night will be one Kid Johnson who halls from San Antonio. Little is known of the Kids ability, but according to his press notices he has been an up-and-coming bantam in the Alamo City. The semi-final, however, is cer tain to give the fans a run for it brings together “Gorilla" Morales. ! tough and clever Nuevo Laredo 120 pounder, and Dan Carter, Corpus Christi battler. Morales, who has beaten Charley Delgado and Kid Monterrey here, has never been Trounced In this section—or in very few other sections as far as that goes.

Jara ! millo has not been beaten, taking his fight lessons from Manuel Zermeno. In his spare time he is a waiter at the Matamoros Cafe.

Thursday at the Vet Arena. Old Injury Jinx Is After T. C. U. PORT WORTH. Oct. 3— The Texas Christian University Horned Progs found themselves face to face with the old injury jinx when they started this week to work out a way to beat the Arkansas Razor backs in Fayetteville next Satur day. Paul Hill. 240-pound sophomore guard, depended upon to do much toward strengthening a line almost demolished by graduations last year, is out with s broken leg. Charlie j Casper, ace man of the backfitud j in the three games played so far this season, has a hand injury that will prove a terrific handicap. Rex Clark, promising sophomore ball lugger, has been out for a week with a bad foot and may not be in shape to go against the Porkers. Cy Perkins, tackle, also injured nls hand in last week’s game. Coaches Schmidt and W’olf have never quite determined just what combination will click. Apparently, there is yet no such thing on the Frog squad as first-string men. The starting combination has been changed on the second play, ana its’ never quite the same twice in succession. The injuries will add to the uncertainty. Bears Are to Hold Secret Practices WACO, Sept. 4.—After having won their first football game ot the 1933 season from tne St. Ed wards Tigers to the tune of 20-6, the Golden Bears of Baylor Uni versity have two weeks of pratice behind closed gates before tack!,»5 the Arkansas Razorbacks in the Initial conference battle of the year for Baylor.

After the Giants had won yes terday's opening game. Broadway commissioners quoted 10 to 7 .on the Giants to win the series as compared with the 6 to 5 price offered before the series began with Washington favored. Even money was quoted for to day's game with Hal Schumacher opposing Alvin Crowder on the mound. HUBBELL SAID GREAT HURLER John McGraw Compares Him to One and Only Mathewson 1 By The Associated Press NEW YORK, Oct. 4—(A»>— Carl Owen HubbeU today was no less the topic of the most feverish world series debate than he was belore he stepped out and checked the Senators in the opening game be fore an unexpectedly big crowd of nearly 47,000 cash customers in the Polo Grounds. Even the most rabid Washing ton rooters admitted Hubbeli's greatness under fire, his courage and control in a closing series of difficult situations. Where Ameri can leaguers cling to the hope, hr not the conviction that the Giants' southpaw may be less baffling on his next appearance, the National league forces now look for the lean left-hander to be the deciding factor and more effective as tne battle develops. "The answer is that they came up and looked Hubbell in the ey9 in the stretch—otherwise the eighth and ninth innings — and thev couldn't pass him," gleamed Bill Terry, black-haired manager of the Giants. "The only thing wrong with Hubbell when he lost control in the eighth, was that he was not •following through’ momentarily. He felt the chilling breeze and tightened up a little. He said his arm was all right and that lie wanter to finish the game. Any time he feels that way about !t, Carl Hubbell can finish the game for the Giants. "If the Senators think they have his number now, they will have a chance to find out. Hubbell will be in there for us a~ain.” Two grayheads of baseball. John Honus Wagner and Jonn Jose;>n McGraw, brought together mem ories of the rare old days as tney put their arms around each oth er's shoulders in the corner of a room filled with Giant enthusiasts. To McGraw. Wagner still Is the greatest all-round ball player of all time. To John Honus, McGraw Is still the shrewdest manager of them all. They were unanimous, too, that Hubbell Is the best pltcn er to carry the National league banner into the world series since Christy Mathewson was In Ills prime. “They have qualities in common.” suggested McGraw. referring to tne man he regards as the foremost pitcher of all time and the Okla homa southpaw who started his career under Mac. "Hubbell has Matty’s coolness. He didn't become flustered when things went against him in the last two Innings yester day. He is unquestionably a very great pitcher and he gives c..e Giants a big advantage in a short series." It was altogether & pleasant day for McGraw, who sew two of his prize pupils, Hubbell and Mel Ott, furnish the main essentials to the Giants’ opening victory and the first National league triumph In a world series game since 1931. 0‘t came to McGraw eight years ago, as a 16-year-old Louisiana young ster. recommended by a close friend of the Giant chieftain. "Little Mel" caught Mac's fancy as a hitter and still does. His "four for four” yes terday tied a world series record. The Senators came so close to snatching victory, in spite of Hub bell, that they have lost little of their confidence In 'taking’' the Giants. “Hubbell’s great but we will take the rest of the Giant staff and take him the next time," volunteered one of the Washington scouts. •’You can’t stop a team of hitters like our club very long. They simpiy could not produce the hits in the pinches yesterday. Why look at that ninth-—three on, none out, and nobody could get the ball out of the infield! We give the credit to Hubbell but it won’t happen again." The Sports Spade Orady “Too Tall" Reynold*, elongated Southwest University product who was pack master of the San Benito high Whippets sev eral seasons, heads back into his old stomping grounds Friday, bringing his Alice high Coyotes to Mission for a tussle with the Aguilas. There are several grudges pending settlement between Coach Claude Dailey of the Eagles and Orady, and no amicable settlements are in sight. Back m '32 Mission had a great season—except for an ignoble 12-3 defeat at the hands of Reynolds* San Benito eleven. The Donna Redskins, then coached by Dailey, also was a hot shot number in the Valley pennant chase until btf/ed into the ashcan by the sprightly Hounds. Little is teiown of Orady’s squad this season, but one thing is cer tain—he will have a hard slant off tackle which is hard to stop. That is always the feature of Orady s aggregations, take It from :w less an authority than Dailey himself. Claude finds himself lacking in experienced material. Tiie talk hereabouts is to the effect t**t Mission’s choice material elected to attend La Joya (Cactus University) this season. The Eagles, who went down be fore Weslaco in the opener, nave only two lettermen back this sea son. Dan Friesen and Tony Munoz. Boys showing to advantage among the newcomers are Joe Pierce, Bob Smith, James Parrish. Donald Tripson and "Big Foot’’ Wallace. • • • At last “Doc" Osborn gets a break —he has a monopoly on the fight referee business, working weekly cards at both Brownsville and Harlingen. The ex-tooth yanker also gets in a lick each Friday on I the football games. The old Doc formerly was a member of the Tulsa Boxing commission. • • • TUCKER FIELD will be In readi ness Friday for the opening foot ball game of the season between Brownsville and San Benito. The grandstand and lence were blown by the hurricane, but the fence has been repaired and there are ample bleacher seats available. The Eagles are working hard in pointing up their offense for their debut. The Hounds, with a victory over Edinburg already tucked away, are anxious to get another crack at the Brownsville contingent.
