Yanks Favored To Win Series From Brooklyn NEW YORK (INS) — The New York Yankeefe, favored by sheer • force of habit, meet the Brooklyn Dodgers, their, perennial autumn fall guys, in the opening game today of a World Series chaperoned by the law of averages. Rain threatened to wash out the scheduled beginning of the big show at Yankee Stadium, but It failed to dampen the enthusiasm of the adversaries or the excited anticipation of 67.000 fans expected at the huge Bronx ballyard. Rain began falling shortly after midnight. However, the weather bureau forecast it would end “before noon. followed by afternoon clearing." But the possibility remained the game would be postponed by wet grounds. And even before Yankee lefthanded star Whitey Ford (18-6) takes the mound to pit his talents against big Don Newcombe (20-5) Brooklyn's righthanded jetballer at the 1 p.m. (EDT) showdown time, melodrama and mystery at-tend-the hectic proceedings. The seemingly inevitable Yankees, 6 to 5 favorites for the inaugural and 13 to 10 choices to win their 17th world title and sixth, in the last seven years, were uncertain as to the availability of center field slugger Mickey Mantle. The young switch hitting speedster has been plagued by a ripped right thigh muscle and Manager Casey Stengel planned a running test for . Mantle before issuing a momentous pre-game decision on the name of his starting center fielder. Brooklyn's Carl Furillo had a severe head cold, but he was expected to be at his right field position to add his power to the overall might the Bums planned to throw at the Yankees in a determined effort to ruin an apparent World Series custom. The Dodgers, appearing in the Series for the eighth time, were still shooting for their “record” first big payoff. What's more, the last five times they qualified for the classic, it was the Bronx bombers who used them as< whipping boys. Thus, armed with memories of previous frustration, Manager Walter Alston called on the fence busting likes of Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Gil Hodges, Jackie Robinson. Furillo and the rest to bomb away the theory that the Yankees are indestructible. History dictates that strange happenstances can and do occur since these two clubs first got together in one of these things back in 1941. and their actions will be observed and listened to, by millions over the vast network of television and radio flannels.

Minneapolis Evens Little World Series .MINNEAPOLIS (INS) —George Wilson hit dramatic home runs Tuesday night to give Minneapolis a 10-lnnliig. 4 to 3 victory over Rochester and deadlock the Little World Series at three games apiece. The,seventh and deciding game will be played tonight at Minneapolis. Wilson's first roundtripper in the eighth inning deadlocked the game at 3-3 and sent it into overtime. Then, in the bottom of the tenth he poled his game winning second homer out of the ball park. Rochester, the International League champion, rallied for three runs in the sixth to take a onerun lead and appeared on the way to winning the series in six games before Wilson started swinging his heavy bat. One of the Rochester runs was a homer by pitcher Robert Blaylock, who went the route. Al Worthington, the third Minneapolis pitcher, wasc redited with his third victory of the series. There is a possibility he may start for the American Association champions in the decisive game tonight despite his three inning stint Tuesday night.

Baseball Mart Is Flooded By Rumors Os Jobs NEW YORK (INS) — Job rumors flooded the atmosphere today as baseball dignitaries joined the Influx of World Series fans into New York. The names of Frank Lane, Marty Marion. Eddie Stanky and others were bandied about hotel lobbies and press headquarters as likely contenders for new positions and Lane figured in mpst of the reports. . The former general manager of the Chicago White Sox, who resigned that position last week, may go home with more than a series souvenir next week. He may wind up -as general manager of the St. Louis Cardinals or Pittsburgh Pirates. Lane was quoted Tuesday night as saying that if Cards President August Busch "is interested, and if a job is open on the Cardinals, we could close it tonight.” “1 wired'him that I have tux and will travel,” said Lane. "I simply told him that I had secured my official release and that if reports of a reorganization in his club were true, I would like to be considered for a possible place in the new alignment.” Busch is not attending the series but executive vice president Dick Meyer is in town to listen to any further overtures. Lane also has wired two other clubs which he refused to identify but they reportedly are Pittsburgh and Detroit. The rumor is that Lane would like to acquire some stock in the club he goes to and that he would have an easier time at Pittsburgh in that respect than St. Louis. Lane also would like White Sox Manager Marty Marion as field boss of the club he joins, according to the corridor gossip. Stanky and Davey Williams are reportedly returning to the Polo grounds as coaches under Bill (Rigney, new manager of the Giants. The announcement is expected to be made in a few days. Leo Durocher, who quit as Giants manager Saturday, took himself out of the running Tuesday—at least for a year—by signing his first contract out of baseball. The fiery pilot of last year’s world champions left 17 years of managing experience behind him when he inked a one-year pact with an executive com-' mentator and "talent scout.” High School Football Delphi 19, Rensselaer 7.
