WOOD WAR XVIII

Who's winning the battle of the front pages? "Dirty Harry" would be clever if the Post had bothered to include a subhead mentioning the movie is PG-13; "CARD TRICK" feels like a desperate attempt to keep up with the non-developments in the FAKE BRAVEST 'SEX FIEND' story. But the Post could have run dummy text and a photo of Cindy Adams' dog's bunghole and it still couldn't have been worse than the feeble, embarrassing spectacle of the Daily News trying glom onto Alex Rodriguez's MVP win as an opportunity to promote a rehash of a scoop nobody was interested in the first time around. Winner: New York Post Overall standings: Daily News 10, New York Post 8
