Third-ranked Ohio State also is a stout favorite, rating a 21point bulge over Washington at Columbus.

Milwaukee Braves Confident Os Win MILWAUKEE <UPD— The Milwaukee Braves pick themselves to J win in five. That was the consensus of Mil- ' waukee players today shortly be- [ fore they went out to meet the American League champion Yankees in the opening game of the 1958 World Series. First baseman Frank Torre put it this way: “Most of us think we’ll win it in five because we’re a much stronger ball club than we were last year.” “You can say that again,” piped up shortstop Johnny Logan, dressing in the next locker, "and you can put me down for five games, too.” Torre let Logan have his say and then continued. “I've never played with a club that has so much confidence as this one,” he said. “They’re real 1o o s e and relaxed. We ’re not cocky or anything like that, but we feel we're the boss this time, not the Yankees. “Look around this clubhouse. Do you see one guy with a worried look?’ There wasn’t one. Most of . them were bantering light-heartedly, and by their casualness one might get the idea they were going out to meet the Yankees in a spring exhibition game at Bradenton. Fla., rather than in a Series for baseball's richest prize of all. “Why should we be the ones to ; worry?” asked Lew Burdette. “We .proved we could lick ’em last year and now it’s up to them to 1 try and catch us. If there’s any ' pressure, it certainly is on them. Logan offered the thought the ' Yankees might be pressing a bit ‘ in an all-out effort to get out in 1 front fast. “You watch and see how they’ll ’ do anything they can to try and grab a run or two in the first and second innings.” said the Milwau- ’ kee shortstop. “They’d like nothing better than to have us chasing them. If the Yanks don’t score in the first three or four innings today, take a look over at their bench and notice how Casey Stengel will start to fidget.” Athletics Complete Trade With Yankees KANSAS CITY. Mo. (UPD—The Kansas City Athletics have completed an earlier trade with the New York Yankees by buying a “read good prospect” — minor leaguer John Zeke Bella. Acquisition of the 27-year-old Bella Tuesday night was the final chapter of a deal that sent Murry Dickson to the Yankees in late August. Bella, who plays first base or the outfield, hit .399 with Denver i this season.

Young Driver Killed When Auto Hits Pole WINAMAC, Ind. (UPD—Richard D. Doty, 20. Monterey, was killed early today when his car missed a U.S. 35 curve, hit a utility pole and rolled over about three miles north of here. Jack Hinaerlider. 22, Winamac, a passenger, was treated at a hospital here and was released. North Carolina by 7 in a Friday night game.

Hoosier Guard Named Lineman Os The Week INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. UPD — A talkative, sandy-haired football player with plenty of bounce tq every ounce in his stocky 195pound frame today was picked as United Press International’s midwest lineman of the week. He is Bill Kerr, a sophomore guard on the strong side of the Indiana line. Kerr captured the honor by playing “inspired football” for 52 mln ute s against Notre Dame Saturday. It w r as Kerr’s first college game and according to sideline observers, post - game films and his coach, Phil Dickens, Kerr was “in on almost every play of the game.” Outstanding in 1957 “The kid apparently just has to be in on eveiwthing on the field." Dickens said. ‘There were at least two plays which he really had no business being in. But he was there, doing it the hard way.” Kerr, a fanny - slapping peptalker along the line, played in his first college Saturday to make excellent prophets of his freshmen teammates last year. They voted him as the outstanding lineman last season. Kerr's play Sunday also earned him selection by the Big Ten foot- , ball writers as the "most out- , standing player of the week. The Hoosiers lost to Notre ■ Dame, 18-0. In view of their role as a 28-0 underdog, the game , ’might be chalked up as a “suc- , cess,’ but Kerr did not see it that I way. , Irish More Experienced “We played a good game. It > would have been a lot better if , we won, but Notre Dame just had t a little too much experience, I i guess," Kerr said after the contest. 1 As college sophomores go, Kerr 1 at 24 is a trifle elderly. A two--1 year stretch in the Army before . entering Indiana explains that - fact. Kerr is a resident of Steuben- | ville, Ohio, where he played guard ; with Calvin Jones on the 1951 • Steubenville High School eleven. - Jones was later to be named an All-American guard at lowa, to become an outstanding player in Canadian pro football circles and to die in an airplane crash.

X Today's Sport Parade j (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International MILWAUKEE i CPU-Big Don Larsen, who went from hero to ham in one swift year, was happy to be sitting on the bench as the World Series opened today. Two years ago he stood the baseball world on its collective ear by pitching the first perfect game in World Series history against the Brooklyn Dodgers. .Last.year he was the loser as Lew Burdette won the final game for Milwaukee. . This time around—as the Braves and Yankees go back at it again —Larsen almost didn’t make it. “It looked for a time as if I wouldn’t even get on the Yankees’ World Series eligibility list," he remembered. “I worried about it a lot But now I'm in, thank goodness." And. he predicted, he just might have a "pretty good series." Had Bad Year Larsen almost missed the boat because of a “tender" right elbow. It kept him out of action through most of August and early September and, while he still isn’t certain just what was wrong he knows he won only nine games thi§ season. "Coming up toward the end of the season,” he recalls, "there were two pitching spots open on the Yankee World Series eligibility list. There were three of us in contention—Tom Sturdivant, Murry Dickson and myself. Well, Virgil Trucks was dropped from the list and we all three made it. But there were moments when I wondered. I'll tell you.” ‘‘ There is a bit of irony to Larsen’s, ups and downs. When he pitched his famous perfect game' against the Dodgers, he used a brand new “no windup” technique. Adopted By Turley It was so effective it was adopted by “Bullet Bob” Turley, who used it with sensational success and became the Yankees’ leading winner this season. Now the 225-pound Larsen is thinking of "mixing up" his windups — using the no-windupi technique when he has -baserunners and winding up “to get a little something extra and a change to confuse the hitters" when there are no baserunners. Turley is expected to start Thursday's second game against the Braves with the probability that Larsen will pitch the Saturday third game at Yankee Stadium. But it wouldn’t surprise. Larsen if the "old man”—meaning manager Casey Stengel—surprised the Braves and gave him the second game assignment. Over i.,500 Dally Democrats are sold and delivered in Decatur each day.

Even-Money Betting For Series Opener ' MILWAUKEE (UPD — It was “betcha money and take your pick" for today’s opening game of tfce World Series. The oddsmakers actually wfere quoting an 11-10 price on the opener, which means you have to wa-1 ger sll to. win $lO regardless' of the team you pick. However, in man-to-man betting it was considered an even-money game. The Yankees are 6-7 favorites! to win the Series. Yankee backers! must lay $7 to win $5; Braves bettors collect $6 for each $5 wager, if their team wins. In man-to-man betting, that’s 6 r -2-5 or 13-10.

Rate Hammond As First In Prep Circles INDIANAPOLIS (UPD — Hammond and South Bend Central, perhaps the two best Indiana high' school football clubs in the far north, ranked 1-2'in today’s second United Press International [ coaches’ poll today as Evansville Reitz was demoted to third place. Hammond, yielding only one touchdown in its first four games while hammering its foes for a total of 134 points, was awarded three first-plaCe nods and four ! runner-up spots and polled 89 [points, three more than last week I when it tied Reitz for first place. I The South Benders, 135-19 in[ I the point-production so far this; ' season were elevated from third! place to second following their [ 35-0 shellacking of city rival St. • Joseph. They polled four first-[ place votes and a total of 86. Reitz, meanwhile, skidded two [ [ spots following its narrow 6-0 vic-| 1 tory over previously undefeated I Indianapolis Cathedral last Satur- ! day. One witness referred to the Panthers’ one-touchdown decision “by the grace of God and the will ■ of the officials.” Elkhart in “Big 10” There were several other changes in the “Big 10” line-üb, among them Elkhart’s elevation ! from 12th place to 10th. Hobart ! and Evansville Memorial also imi proved their standings, Hobart [ moving up from eighth to. fifth ! and Memorial from 10th to eighth. Indianapolis Ma nua 1. which i risks its perfect record against I undefeated Southport Friday, re- [ mained fourth. New Albany sixth [ and South Bend Adams ninth. Along with Reitz. Richmond and South Bend Washington also lost some prestige. Richmond was voted down from fifth to seventh spot, Washington from seventh to 12th after its scoreless tie against South Bend Riley. The experts nominated 19 teams, three less than last week. , Gone are Noblesville, tied by Indianapolis Howe last week; Mishawaka, East Chicago Washington, [ [and Logansport.
