Maglie, Ford Are Slated To Pitch Opener NEW YORK (UP) — Sal MagHe, the key factor in Brooklyn# last ditch pennant triumph, and Whitey Ford, the Yankees’ clutch southpaw, were expected to draw the pitching assignments today for Wednesday’s World Series opener at Ebbets Field. Both managers, Walt Alston of the Dodgers and Casey Stengel of New York, indicated they would name their starting lineups after their clubs work out today. The Dodgers, who had a muchneeded off day Monday, were to report at Ebbets Field this morning with Alston hoping that Maglie, despite a “tightened" arm. would pronounce himself ready. The Yankees were scheduled to drill at Yankee Stadium, where the third, fourth and fifth games of the series are to be played. Maglie. who won 13 games for the Dodgers after they obtained him from Cleveland last May for slightly over the waiver price of SIO,OOO, said he “would ba-ready, if needed.” “I can do it alt right, my arm feels fine.” Maglie insisted. But Alston felt that the 39-yearl old right hander needed tour days rest between starts. • If he goes Wednesday, he will have had only three since he hurled the Dodgers to a 6-2 triumph over 'the Pirates on Saturday. Alston reiterated that he wanted “to go with a guy who will keep the ball low.” If he decides to rest Maglie another day, he said he would start either Clem Labine, Roger Craig, or Carl Erskine, all right handers. He seemed to lean toward Labine, who beat Pittsburgh, 31 on Saturday, meaning that his 27-game winner. Don Newcombe, would not get a shot at the American League champions, until the Friday game at Yankee Stadium. pnless’ he has a last minute ctjauge of heart, there seemed littlft doubt that Stengel. would go, with Ford, a 19-game T W!hnbA i, b "I guess it’s pretty obvious I consider him my best and that he would be my opening- game pitcher." Stengel said with a wink. He refused to go beyond Ford, but indications were that Don Lar-i sen. who won only ft games but hurled brilliantly toward the close of the season. .would_start in the second game. Ford and Larsen watched the Dodgers score their 8-6-Sunday victory over the Pirates which gave them the pennant. Asked whether he wasn’t taking “unite a chance" by pitching Ford in Brooklyn, Stengel bellowed: "Well, 1 can’t afford to rest my. best pitcher two days until we get home if he’s going to be available for three starts. Besides, that Mttle feller can pitch anywhere.” Although starting a left hander against the right handed hitting

power of Brooklyn in Ebbets Field always is a gamble, Stengel figured that there was no reason that Ford can’t do what Johnny Antonelli of the Giants and Joe Nuxhall of the Redlega did. They both beat the Dodgers in their home park, the only starting left 'handers to do ko this season. . , Even, if, Ford starts, however, the odds maker made the Yankees 6-5 favorites to win the opening game. At the same time, on the theory that the Dodgers ptlll would be weary from their last-ditch pennant struggle, they increased the odda on the Yankees taking the aeries from 7-5 to 5. Both teams figured to be at full strength, with Mickey Mantle, the slugging ace of the Yankees, re porting that his groin injury "is all right.” “I’m ready to go.” he said after the Yankees worked* out Monday. Alston was considering benching Sandy Amoros if Ford starts Wednesday's game for the Yankees. Junior Gilliam, a switch hitter then would take over in left field, with right handed hitting Charley Neal in Gilliam's second .base spot. “I hate to bench Sandy because he’s been hitting so well, but I’ll want to get all the right handed power I can in there against Ford.” Alston said. Amoros, who Was one of the heroes of the Dodgers’ series triumph over the Yankees last year, hit two homers in Sunday’s final game, but he doesn't do too well against southpaws and his fielding is on the weak side.

Today's Sport Parade By osCar Fraley (United Preus Sports Writer) JfEW YORK (UP) — President Eisenhower may not’ know it. and don’t tell anybody because it’s a secret, but he's got a vote in Yogi Berra. “Imagine" said the squat man of the Yankees, “one of the political parties asked me to endorse their candidate. But they don’t fool old Yog. Fin tellin’ how I vote. “Beside.” he added as an afterthought. “some of those ‘Brooklyn pitchers might be Democrats.” Thqt’s the latest gem from the perennial clown and good humor man of the New York Yankees. And, while his teammates laugh at him and needle him, they take no undue liberties with Yogi. Because they all know that this is the sparkplug of the ball club — the man who makes them go. They also know that Yogi isn’t, if you'll pardon plain speaking, as dumb as he sometimes sounds. Much his clowning is deliberate and this is perfectly ohyious when 'you watch*the‘ ) slirewd brown eyes under the bettling black eye brows. The answer is that Yogi has never changed since be came up to the Yankees. His is the simple approach, like when he first arrived and was invited to speak at, a uncheon in a swanky restaurant,- ' “Okay.” said Yogi, “if my euit gets back from the cleaners.” The day of the Inucheon, Yogi shbwed up-in a battered old pair of trousers hidden under a raincoat buttoned to the chib. "The suit didn’t come back,” was his explanation. Yogi • has more than one suit these days, with a $50,000 a year salary and a plush bowling establishment which he and Phil Rizzuto soon will open. But at 31 and getting-ready for his eighth World Series, he’s still the easy-going and slightly nervous type. “Anybody who ' says he isn't nervous before the start of the ■World Series is full of bunk,” Yogi said. “For the first couple of pitches you can't hardly breathe. After that, it’ gets all right-pretty quick.”

Yogi's hands show surprisingly little wear for the years he has crouched behind the plate for the Yankees. “The toughest pitcher 1 ever caught was Allie Reynolds,” he recalls. "He’d break an awful lot of curves into, the dirt and that’s the toughest pitch to handle. Vic Raschi could be hard to handle at times but I guess the toughest now is Tom Sturdivant, because he throws a knuckler. After the kmickler. the toughest pitch, I guess, is the sinker ball.” Yogi’s biggest thrill was “every time I won the most valuable player award.” That's three of them. "But.” he added, "every game is a thrill in itself. I guese I just love to play baseball.” Bob Feller To Head Player Association NEW YORK (UP) — Pitcher Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians has been elected president of the Major League Baseball Players Association. a group within the structure of the player representatives set-up.

Although Michigan State also was impressive with a 21-7 triumph over Stanford, Oklahoma's first-place margin over the Spartans widened from 39 to 79 points this week.
