World Series Opens Today At New York NEW YORK (INS) — Sal Maglie and Bob Lemon, veteran righthanders famous for winning the big ones, face each other as pitching opponents today when the New York Giants meet the Cleveland Indians in the opening game of what promises to be the richest world series of all time. -- The 51st gold-and-glory fall classic gets under way at 1 p.m. (EST) at New York’s Polo Grounds before an expected crowd of 52,000. Mostly fair and mild weather with a high of 80 degrees is forecast for the opener, but possible postponement of Thursday’s second game loomed with the weatherman’s prediction of mostly cloudy, with showers and thunderstorms. The Indians, winningest team ever to represent the American League, are 9-to-5 favorites to win their third world championship and 6-to-5 choices to take the first contest. The two teams, perennial spring training sparring partners, are playing each other in the series for the first time and the Giants, relegated to underdog roles because of Cleveland’s mighty and deep pitching staff, are out to get the National League its first world crown since 1946. Maglie. grizzled 37 • year -old curve ball specialist and the ‘‘money man” on Leo Durocher's staff, drew the first game assignment so that he'd be rested and available for further shots at the Tribe. Sal, winner of 14 and loser of 6 during the regular season, hurled the flag clincher for the Giants over his pet victims, the Brooklyn Dodgers. Lemon, top man on Al Lopez’ mountainous mound totem pole with 23 wins and 7 losses, was the TEEPLE MOVING & TRUCKING - Local and Long Distance

obvious flinger to pit against New York’s “Barber." Bullet Bob, a converted third baseman, boasts elx 20-game seasons. The only uncertainty existing before the big show was launched was Durocher’s decision on who would be his left fielder —Monte Irvin or Dusty Rhodes. The best-of-seven series will be televised nationally (NBC) and a radio version. (Mutual) will be broadcast to all the 48 states, Latin America, Canada and Alaska and to armed forces everywhere. With the ‘‘lf necessary” clause applying after the fourth game, the first two contests take place at the Polo Grounds, the next three in Cleveland’s spacious Municipal Stadium and the last two at the Polo Grounds. Thus, with the two big parks of each league available, the players’ pool for the first four games is almost a sure bet to reach an alltime high and the winning shares probably will hit flfl,ooo. And if the series goes six games an unprecedented attendance and dollar take is assured.

Three Bidders for Franchise Os Athletics NEW YORK (INS) — The Philadelphia Athletics are staying in Philadelphia — tor at least two weeks anyway. American League clubowners heard three bidders for the Iqsingest team in baseball Tuesday and then adjourned "until sometime after Oct. 12” 'to give Vice President Roy Mack time ‘‘to work out something for the A’s," The marathon session ended without action on a last-ditch bid by Tommy (Richardson, president of the Class A Eastern League, to keep the Athletics in Philadelphia and on two proposals to switch the franchise—one to Kansas City, the other to San Francisco. Earl Hiliigan. assistant to league President Will Harrldge, said Mack was not given an "ultimatum,” but he left little doubt the owners might move to force sale ot the elub if Maek cannot find new financing. Roy and his brother Earle, sons of venerable Connie Mack, are at loggerheads on the future of the club. Earle has indicated willingness to sell out but Roy has blocked such moves. No site was set for the next meeting. Richardson, who also is a mamber of the-'A’s board of directors and personal friend of the Macks for close to 30 years, said he would take over the A’s "lock, stock and barrel” for $3,375,000 with the proviso that—if the club flopped at the gate In Philadelphia in 1955—it can be moved to one of six cities. Richardson said his offer matched one by Arnold Johnson, Chicago realtor, who hopes to relocate the franchise in Kansas City. Richardson mentioned Toronto, Montreal, Los Angeles, San Francisco. Houston and St. Paul as possible alternate cities. In view of the strong efforts made by Los Angeles to get a major league team on the west coast, that city was reported to have the inside track if a shift were made. Richardson refused to reveal the identity of his financial backing but it was reported his main supporter was John McShain, powerful Philadelphia contractor. Johnson presented his offer to the league behind .closed doors ’Vrfth plenty -euppek front a seven-man committee of Kansas City civic and political leaders, including City Manager L. P. Cookingham. A. L. owners listened attentively but at Jeast one of theb, Washington President Clark Griffith, said earlier he was opposed to the Kansas City plan. He is believed to have support from Detroit owner Walter O. ‘‘Spie’’ Briggs. Six affirmative votes are nekcessary for a franchise shift. Miami Os Ohio On Purdue Grid Card LAFAYETTE. Ind. (INS) Purdue today announced that a game with Miami University of Oxford, 0.. has been added to the Boilermaker's football schedule for 1957. .Purduy already has seven Big 10 games scheduled for the 1957 campaign including tueeels with everyone except lowa and (Michigan.
