Yankees Expected To Win World Series Against The Chicago Cubs

Chicago, Oct. 3.

The greatest reception to a baseball team in the history of the city was given to-day to the Chicago Cubs as they prepare to do battle against the New York Yankees in the World Baseball Scrics. Thousands cheered and showered them with ticker-tape.

Charles Hartnett, manager of the a coffin for the Cubs, whose demiso Cubs, sold "We'll give the Yankees is set for approximately October 10. a terrific battle."

"Dizzy" Dean, the pitching ace, was more emphatic.. "We'll take the Yankees and we'll also take the pennant," he said.

The reception given to the Cuba to-day even overshadowed that given to Douglas Corrigan after he had flown the Atlantie "by mistake."

YANKEES' FINE RECORD Soothsayers believe that games will be sufficient for Yankees to humble the Cubs, eleven years, the Yankees have play ed and won five World Series, and in 23 games played they have won 20.

The betting is now 2% to 1 that the Yankees will become the first team in history to win three world's championships in succession. How- ever, occasionally the underdog without any conceivable chance has proven the ndage "Nothing can be taken for granted in baseball."

Chicago Cub fans are citing the Numing spirit of Hartnett's team to upset the Yankees' supremacy. How- ever, Yankees' backers point out that the Yankees are hardest to bent when the blue chips are down, Furthermore, the Cubs are tired and led as the result of the "dog- fight" when they had to go through in the National League before they while the Yankees eventually won, are fresh and relaxed.

Offensively, there is no comparison between the teams. The Cubs' only .300 hitter is Hack and they have no game-wrecking home run hitters to compare with Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig, Bill Dickey, Henrich and Gordon.

Defensively, however, the Yankees are superior by a narrower margin.
