TO DISPROVE ANOTHER? Next Wednesday afternoon, in the Yankee Stadium, Charley will set out to try and disprove that one too. But the fact persists that in all the wealth of right hand pitching class Guy Bh, Pierce Malone, Charley Root, on Warneke, Burleigh Grimes left handed absence stands out not only as a glaring weakness but as one of the rarities of championship baseball play. The ace of Joe McCarthy's Yan kee staff is 'Lefty Gomez, with a record of 24 victories, seven of them against the.

Athletics, as opposed to seven losses up to today. Herb Pen-nock has left-handed his way to five world series victories without a defeat. The Yanks have a distinct bulce there. On the right hand side of the world series ledger, the Cubs not only match but overshadow the Yankees. Lon Warneke, sensational youngster, has rolled tip the best nitching record in the National league this season, 22 against 6 defeats, and holds a distinct edee over Johnny Allen, th Yankee freshman.

Allen, a side-arm firehaller. has won 17 and lost 3. Big "Rufus the Red" Ruffinr, who probably will start against Bush in the opening game, is the Yankee right hand hope. Walter Brown and Danny Mc-Fayden form the Yankee second line of defense with old Wlcey Moore for relief. Jakle May might pitch a few Irft-handed innings for the Cubs if the need becomes overwhelming, but otherwise Grimm must start and relieve with right-handers On Fair Gixtirortt rvT TTHraTA cyt in 1 Their big opening game here with Walhalla Loses To Williamston WALHALLA, Sept.

CLEMSON FAVORED TODAY Clemson's Tlgus arc all sleeked up for their first pubic appearance which takes place on Riggs lieid this afternoon with the herd lighting Presbyterian College hose as opponents. While the general dope lavors the Bengals you'll get no P.

C. supporter to admit that the game Is anything but an even aHair and tney'll frankly tell you they expect to win. That shouldn't make any one remain away for its added proof of an exceptionally hard opening day struggle and the Picamont is particularly lortunate in having it as the llrst blast of the grid season. Last year the two squads battled to a scoreless tie, each being bitterly disappointed at not pushing over a touchdown. TIGERS GIVEN ADVANTAGE Clrmson has the advantage because Jess Neely will boast a veteran line and some of the speediest backs in the state.

He has an exceptionally good passer in Bob Miller and capable receivers in Gene Patterson, Johnson Craig, Rulus Wertz, to say ot Henry Woodward, Gene Willimon and other backs. It is Neely's second year, the players are working together better and more machine-like football can be expected. He admits the boys have improved in every respect. His greatest need may be for a punter for kicking is always most important. Woodward, Bill Dillard, Joe Cathcart, Willimon and one or two others are Unusually speedy and some broken-field running of a high caliber ought to be exhibited.

JOHNSON ALWAYS HAS FINE DEFENSE Walter Johnson always has a good defensive team. This year will be no exception. He usually has passes that click. If he can weld together an eleven in two weeks capable of holding or beating the Tigers he will deserve medals enough to make him resemble a general on parade. The Presbyterian genius has to replace four of the best linemen in South Carolina, Gus Blakely, Cheatham, McNaull and Mike Ca.skey.

He also lost some effective backs. He has some promising sophomores but It takes more than two weeks to work them into a unit. J. B. Copeland, all-state end.

and Furman Pinson form a pair of wingmen second to none in PaimeWoeiom. Charlie Barrett and Bob Sims are splendid backs. Neither side will do much scoring and a two-touchdown margin will be about the maximum to expect, regardless of which institution you favor. It should be one of the choice openers in the South, as far as rivalry, closeness of score, thrillers and good football is concerned. i i 1 flOWlKtTJK dflTrffS FISH LEI Injuries To Bob Smith And Bill Hutt Have Not Healed As Expected GAME BEGINS 3 O'clock By CARL WEIMER The work's been done.

There is little Coach McLeod and his assistants can do now but wait and hope the Hurricane will steer its course as planned by them in the game with Newberry here tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. TAKE THINGS EASY Jules Carson had the first two teams running signals, going through dummy scrimmage with particular attention being paid to forward passes while Coach McLeod took the third string boys and gave them an opnortunlty to show their stuff against the freshmen. Gene Phillips was doing most of the gaining, showing the same stuff that made him a co-star with Earl Clary at Gaffney high. Right now Coach McLeod is centering all of his thoughts on the with the Lutherans tomorrow. He has his players keyed-up but injuries to Bob Smith.

Bill Hutt and "Red" Fisher have not responded to treatment as exDected. BOB SMIT.H TO PLAY Smith will start as his kicking will be needed but unless the situation becomes desperate it's hardly likely that Hutt will be used. Fisher seems out of It. He was not even running signals yesterday, just looking on. Considerable speculation is going the rounds as to what the Lutherans will offer.

"Dutch" Marl. ran has his best squad in several years but he is not certain as to just what to expect of some of his new men. However, it Is no secret that he entertains high hopes. He boasts a fast charging line, fome speedy and shify backs and some fair hooters. Lutheran supporters are confident their "team will make Furman hustle to win and if they can stop Lyles Alley have hopes of making the contest an even scrap.

PLENTY OF FRILLS There will be plenty of frills. It will be the first game with the coeds cheering in unison. There will be two bands out. Pep meetings have been held regularly and a monster one Is slated for tonight with a new song composed by "Dooley" Barksdale that is said to be a pep producer.

Prospects are the starting back-field in the big games will consist of Dud Parker at quarterback; Bjb Lassiter and Walt Levering at halfbacks, and Joe Crowley at Fullback the same quartet that ripped Princeton's defense Into shreds last season. The task of finding a successor to Albie Booth, star of the last three season, turned out to be less troublesome than most Yale men expected.
