Dodgers Seek, Second World Title In Row NEW YORK (UP) — The Brook tyn Dodgers who did it the. hard way all season, vowed today to smash the National League s two longest World Series jinxes by making it two in a row over the New York Yankees. Weary but determined after their spine-tingling, final-day triumph in one of the most nervewrecking pennant races of, all time, the battling Brooks found themselves in a familiar position. The oddsthakers are saying they can’t do it and have installed the Yankees as 7-5 "man • to.-, man" choices to win their sixth world championship in seven tries under Casey Stengel. The odds-makers also listed the Yankees as 6-5 choices to win the opening game at Ebbets Field Wednesday on the assumption that 19game winner Whitey Ford will pitch for them against Sal Maglie, the Dodgers* 39-year-old no-hit comeback veteran. But the Dodgers grew accustomed to laughing at the odds during their season-long, uphill battle with the Milwaukee Braves. They’re certain they can break the senior circuit's long-standing jinxes. For. not since 1907-08-09 has the National League won three straight World Series and not since 1921-22 have the Yankees dropped two straight classics. Brooklyn Waited a long time to find a aeries winning formula, doing it last year when they beat the Yankees in seven games to win their first series in eight tries. It will mark the seventh series between the two clubs, their fourth in the last five year. The first two games are scheduled for little Ebbets Feld with its seating capacity of only 32.000 on Wednesday and Thursday with the next three games at-the 68.000 seat Yankee Stadium on Friday. Saturday and Sunday. If the sixth and seventh games in the best four out of seven series are necessary they will be played in Ebbets Field on the following Monday and Tuesday. Brooklyn Manager Walt Alston took the pennant triumph calmly tn contrast to a’riotous club house celebration by his players. He said he hadn’t "given any thought to World Series pitching plans.” "Maglie would be the guy, but I don’t know if he can work with three days rest,” Alston added. "I want a guy who can keep the ball low in this park.” Stengel, when advised of those National League jinxes, said “I don’t believe in ’em.” “I wouldn’t be starting this here Ford at Brooklyn if I did," he

grinned. The Dodgers usually murder southpaw pitching in their own park, and Ford, when asked whether he ever had pitched in Ebbets Field, replied: "Yes. but not for long.” All seats for the series games in Yankee Stadium were sold out within 24 hours after the tickets were placed on sale. The Dodgers will start selling tickets on an over the cgunter basis only at 6 p.m., E.D.T., today with a limit of two tickets to each Brooklyn game per customer. Maglie worked Saturday, the first of the three straight victories the’ Dodgers scored over the Pirates to take the pennant. The climax came Sunday when Duke Snider and Sandy Amoros powered the Dodgers to an 8-6 dramatic triumph as Big Don Newcombe, with relief help from Don Bessent in the eighth, and ninth innings, registered his 27th victory of the season. It was a heart-breaking finish for the Braves, who several times seemed to have the pennant in their grasp, .only to let it slip away. Yankees Are Betting Favorities In Series BROOKLYN (UP) — The New York Yankees are 7-5 favorites to win the World Series and 614-5 to win the first game from the Brooklyn Dodgers today in the official "Broadway line.” Odds-makers pointed out those are “man-to-man” quotations. The oddsmakers, themselves. are giving 6% to 5 to the bettor who wants the Dodgers and 7% to 5 to the bettor who wants the Yankees, A4a/or League Leaders NATIONAL LEAGUE Player & Club G AB R H Pct.

Major League Teams Set New Homer Records By UNITED PRESS The 1956 season went into the record book today as the greatest homer-hitting campaign in major league history. No fewer than 1,293 homers were walloped as five teams established club-season home run marks and a sixth equalled its previous high. The American League established a new high of 1,074 homers while the National’s total of 1,219 fell just short of 1 263. The Cincinnati Redlegs staged the greatest offensive team effort, clouting 221 homes runs equal the 1947 New York Giants’ major league record while Mickey Mantle of the American League champiop New York Yankees was the season’s individual offense hero. Man» tie became only the fourth player in modern history to win the “triple batting crown" when he led the American League with a .353 average, 52 homers and 130 rims batted in. ? ■ . _—' Sharing individual honors with Mantle was Hank Aaron, the Milwaukee Braves’ 22-year old outfielder, who won his first National League batting title with a .328 average that beat out Pittsburgh’s Bill Virdon by nine points. The Redlegs failed to connect for the homerwhich would have set a new team record Sunday but got nine-hit pitching from Hal Jeffcoat to close out thesr season with a 4-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs. The Dodgers clinched their flag in a fitting style’ tor 1956-clouting five homers in their 8-6 triumph over the Pirates. Duke Snider and Sandy Amoros hit two each and Jackie Robinson blasted one as the Dodgers completed the campaign with 179 homers. The Philadelphia Phillies and Giants split a doubleheader. Bill White hitting two homers off Robin Roberts to help New York down Roberts, 8-3. in the opener and Curt Simmons hurling a seven-hitter for a's-2 nightcap win. Eddie Mathews’ 37th homer of the season liftdd the Braves to a 4-2 decision over the St. Louis Cardinals. Aaron had only one hit in four tries but it gave him the distinction of being the only major leaguer to collect 200 this year. Lew Burdette won his 19th. In the American League, the Yankees bowed to the Boston Red Sox, 7-4, in 10 innings but Mantle drove in a run in the ninth to finish two ahead of Detroit’s Al Kaline in the only top batting department which Mickey had not clinched. Yogi Berra homered for the'Yankees' 190th of the season-compared to their pre. vious high of 182. The Baltimore Orioles swept a doubleheader from the Washington Senators, 4-2 and 6-3, with each team adding to its newly-set club homer mark. The Orioles hit one to finish with 91 compared to their previous mark of 54 and the Senators wound up with 118 for the season, compared to 85 in 1938. Al Kaline knocked in two runs as the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians, 8-4, to give Billy Hoeft his 20th win. Wayne Belardi homered for the Tigers, who tied their club season record of 150 homers. Vic Power's two-run homer was the key blow as the Kansas City beat the Chicago White Sox, 7-6. The White Sox were hom-

Chicago Cards Defeat Browns For First Time By UNITED PRESS The Chicago Cardinals topped a string of four upsets in the National Foot ball League openers Sunday by stealing tire old and new tricks of the champion Cleveland Browns for a 9-7 triumph. „It was the first time the Cardinals have beaten professional football’s most successful team. And they did’ it by kicking three field goals — one of the weapons the Browns have used so successfully in winning six Eastern Division titles and three league crowns since 1950. The Cardinals even beat the Browns in what had loomed as a duel of “space helmets.” Coach Paul Brown had planned to use his closed circuit radio system to talk to his quarterback but it broke down and he had to use his old system of alternating guards to call Cleveland's plays. Coach Ray Richards popped up with a surprise electronic hearing device and used it to call about half the Cardinal plays. The Los Angeles Rams and New York Giants were the ohly favorites to win as the league began its 37th season. The Rams, defending Western Division cham-
