Nor would anybody have been very optimistic on Saturday when the Red Sol took an early 4 to 0 lead in the game that could have, clinched the pennant for them without further ado That was the end of the rope it seemed, but the Yankees never let go of the rope Instead they climbed back up and won the Saturday thriller, 5 to 4 then delivered the crusher y ester-. day at Yankee Stadium, when they j won 5 to 3 behind the Hon hearted pitching of Vic Raschi.

In the dramatic finale at the Stadium yesterday the Yankees were Just not to be denied They had to beat Ellis Kinder. Boston’s ace right hander who had won 23 games and lost but five all season.

Yanks Favored To Win Series Over Dodgers New York. Oct. 3—(l’Pi— The i hig town was all excited about Its first in-cent world series today. I>ut to tlie New York Yankees and Brooklyn Dodgers it all seemed a , little anti-climactic. They still were too battered, weary and worn out from their bruising pennant race triumphs to think about the series. But a little time- two days in fact—will have cured all that when the umpires call phy ball in . Yankee stadium at 1 p.m. EST (noon CSTI Wednesday for the first game of the series. • The strain of the history-making | ptnnant fights will be forgotten by then and they will go out for some , more of baseball’s glory and gold , And the first New York overnight j betting lines established the Yankees as a 6 to 5 favorite. Neither manager Casey Stengel of the American league champion Yankees nor Burt Shotton, who led the dust raising Hooligans of Brooklyn to the National league flag, had had time to think about tha series. They still were patting their players on the back for coming through yesterday on the final day of the season to win out- -the Yankees with a Stirling 5 to 3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. and the Dodgers with a 10th inning 9 to 7 triumph over the Philadelphia Phillies. Neither cared to discuss series pitching plans although Stengel «aid he would announce his starting pitcher after the Yankees workout at the Stadium this morning He w.ll have three of his hig four ready-Ed Lopat (15-101; Allie Reynolds (17 6) and Tommy i Byrne (15-7) with the dope Indi 1 eating that he probably would go; with Lopat, a stocky southpaw Only Vic Raschi (21-10) who hurl- 1 ed the Yankees to their thrilling victory yesterday, did not figure in Stengel’s plans for Wednesday's | starters. As he did in 1947 when his Dodgers dropped the world series to the Yankees four games to three, Shotton indicated that he would not announce ht< starting pitchers
