Two Coaches Quit Milwaukee Braves MILWAUKEE (UPI)-The Milwaukee Braves, dethroned as National League champions by the Los Angles Dodgers, began their retrenchment campaign Wednesday, announcnig the resignation of one coach and unconditional release of another. Coach Billy Herman, a member of the Braves’s staff for two years and a star second baseman of the '3os and early ’4os, quit to join his former teammate, manager BUI Jurges of the Boston Red Sox. The two formed an outstanding second base combination with the Chicago Cubs. Del Rice, 36, the Braves’ second string catcher until mid-sea-son, when he was taken off the active list and added to the coaching staff, was granted an unconditional release. He was “angling with a couple of clubs’’ to return to the playing ranks. The departure of Herman and Rice left unsettled the question of whether Fred Haney will be back to manage the Braves in 1960. General Manager John McHale said he 'would be “very happy” to have Haney back but “it’s up to Fred.’’ Dick Tiger Winner Over Joey Giardello CHICAGO (UPl)—The rematch already was arranged today for middleweights Joe GiardeUo and Dick Tiger, and both battlers vowed to do better in their- next tangle on television. Tiger, though he was the unanimous victor over Giardello, ranked fourth by Ring Magazine and sixth by the National Boxing Association, was unhappy because he failed to knock out his foe. GiardeUo, once the No. 1 contender and now beaten by Ring Magazines loth rated boxer, simply was unhappy because he didn’t win. “I want to fight him again,” GiardeUo said. “But not in Chicago. That referee (Walter Brightmore) kept pushing me off, said I was holding, and he didn’t pay any attention to what that guy was doing to me.” Tiger wanted the return go, because he thought that GiardeUo hfld SO much that he couldn’t put on a good fight “I would have knocked him out,” he said, "but he wouldn’t give me a chance. He kept holding my arms all the time, and the referee never could stop him.” Judge John J. Schreiner scored the bout 47-45 for Tiger, the British Empire champion from Nigeria. Judge James Me Manus gave him a 46-43 edge, and referee Walter Brightmore had it 48-45 for Tiger. Neither fighter landed a punishing blow during the match, and most of the time they emphasized counter-punching. Yellow Jackets Play At Portland Friday Bob Worthman, head coach of the Decatur YeUow Jackets, announced today that the Jackets* game against the Portland Panthers at Portland Friday night is scheduled to get underway at 7:30 •"dock. Sox Still Favored In Betting Odds CHICAGO (UPI) — Late betting “action” faUed to change the World Series odds today.

The odds against the White Sox sweeping the first four games were 16-1. Those willing to wager on a Dodger sweep were offered 20-1 odds.

Sports Writers See Close World Series CHICAGO (UPI) The nation’s sportswriters split right down the middle in their choice of the Chicago White Sox or Los Angeles Dodgers to win the World Series, a United Press International poll showed today. The poll, a sampling taken of 95 writers, had 48 backing the Sox and 47 for the Dodgers. Only one writer, however, Paul Horowitz of the Newark, N.J., Evening News, felt the Series would (end in four games. Horowitz picked the Sox. Heart of the Dodgers’ support came from, as expected. West Coast newsmen, though a large part also came from Easterners who said the Dodgers by any other name still looked like Brooklyn. Midwesterners backed the Sox heavily, though both Dodger and Sox supporters strongly insisted emotions had nothing to do with their choices which they protested were guided solely by “cold facts.” By far, the majority of those queried felt the Series would go five or six games. Six writers said it would go seven, with the six evenly divided between the Dodgers and Sox. It was the Sox’ first Series in 40 years and the first time in history a West Coast team was in the classic. One writer who picked the Dodgers to win in six games qualified his choice by noting he had picked Los Angeles originally to wind up fifth. In the actual breakdown, 18 writers picked Los Angeles to win in five games, 26 said it would take the Dodgers six and three said they would do it in seven. On the other side, Horowitz said the Sox would win in four, 17 writers said they would win in five, 27 others said they would win in six and three chose Chicago in seven.
First White Sox Series Since 1919 CHICAGO (UPl)—The lines already wound far around Comiskey Park today, the streets were specially routed, the hotels filled to bulging and anyone with a ticket was king for a day. The World Series was in town. It was the city’s first American League-opened Series since 1919— a year baseball fans preferred to forget—hhd its first Series of any kind since 1945 when the Chicago Cubs played the Detroit Tigers and lost in seven games. All the city’s newspapers pushed just about everything else off the front page and three of the four papers ran full color pictures of both players and, in one case, even the players’ wives. Loop hotels were filled with frenzied fans and tickets to the games were selling as high as sl2s—apiece, for box seats. Grandstand admission was pulling in up to SSO. t Neil Moore, secretary of the Greater Chicago Hotel Association, said “room reservations should be tight” in view of the 10,000 expected out-of-town fans who probably would arrive just before game time, but Moore said there probably would be enough space in the nation’s key convention city to go around.

| Today's Sport Parade | (Reg. U.S. Pat. Off.) By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International CHICAGO (UPI)—As a fellow who thrived ’way back yonder on Horatio Alger it behooves fear—less Fjaley to pick those rags to riches Dodgers to win the World Series in six games. Everybody who ever read those maudlin masterpieces recounting the surefire journey from pauper to millionaire knows that if you don’t ever give up the ship you’ll finally get to shore in time to wed the rich man’s daughter and live happily ever afterwards.

There must, naturaly, be a final chilling pitfail in their path before the supreme victory. This holds true even if you happen to be a Deadwood Dick fan or maybe even a later Tom Swift devotee, So the White Sox might win the opener today and maybe even the second game. But then, as always in the final chapter, Horatio’s gentle, browbeaten, hungry heroes will display the steel concealed beneath their tattered garments and right, honesty and courage will prevail. You can talk all you want—and the experts are doing enough of it around here to fill every, dirigible ever built—about the tremendous speed of the White Sox on the basepaths, the finesse of their pitching and their bullet-proof defense. And in Chicago a bulletproof defense long has been considered an extreme necessity. Note Os Cautoia But my guys fill all the Alger requisites.

Hollywood Greets Irene Dunne Return By VERNON SCOTT UPI Hollywood Correspondent HOLLYWOOD (UPI) - Movietown welcomed its most distinguished actress back before the cameras this week when Irene Dunne starred in a segment of the new June Allyson television series. In an era when actresses universally earn the reputation “beautiful but dumb,” Miss Dunne is an outstanding exception. During the past few years she has neglected her acting career for other activities—as a delegate to the United Nations 12th General Assembly, a sponsor of the National Heart Committee, a worker for the Catholic church and the Republican Party, president of the St. John’s Hospital Clinic, on the board of directors of the Hollywood Bowl, and a director of the Los Angeles Orphanage. Closest to her heart is the Clinic for Retarded Children, and it was this work that inspired Irene to return to acting. “I agreed to appear in June’s show (CBS-TV, Oct. 5.) to portray the role of Dr. Frostig, the famous woman doctor who establisheda clinic for retarded youngsters,” she said. She was sitting in the den of her Holmby Hills home, which she built in 1938. She lives there quietly with her husband, Dr. Francis Griffin, a retired dentist. An auto-

graphed picture of President Eisenhower was perched on her desk. “It’s beentwo years since I’ve done any acting,” Miss Dunne went on, “and I was delighted with the feeling that Fd never been away. “I felt like an old fire horse. Memories came rushing beck to me. It was just a half-hour TV show. But Icould have gone right on and made six more of them ” Will Irene resume her acting career on a full-time basis? “I’m very keen on TV, and I keep hoping it will get better. But my other activities demand so much time I can’t really give much thought to concentratton on acting.”
