Series Rivals Rated Close On Offensive By FRED DOWN United Press International NEW YORK (UPD — Take two and hit to right — that old baseball axiom — isn’t likely to do the New York Yankees much good in Pittsburgh. On paper, the Yankees appear ■to have a wide edge over the Pirates in power but the vast reaches of Forbes Field, where four of the seven World Series games are scheduled to be played, may prove the “equalizer.” Ruth and Gehrig couldn’t hit any homers there in 1927 so it’s unlikely that Mantle and Maris will hit many this year. Toss out this seeming edge in power and the two teams are much closer in offensive ability than they appear at first glance. The Yankees have hit about 70 more homers than the Pirates. But the Pirates’ team batting average —

Yankees and the Bucs have scored a few more runs than New York. Key Hitter* Mantle and Maris, of course, are the two key men in the Yankee attack. When they're hitting the rest line up as a powerful supporting cast that features streak-hitter Sill Skowron, dangerous Yogi Berra, line-drive-hitting Hector Lopez, a solid cast of pinch hitters including Dale Long. ' Bob Cerv, Elston Howard and Johnny Blanchard and the singles, ’ hitters, Bobby Richardson, Tony ■ Kubek, Gil McDougald, etc. > The Yankee offense was' the I strongest in the American League yet faltered at times because neither Mantle nor Maris has hit ' on an eVen plane this year. For ■ all their power, the Yankees have not had a trenchant, day-to-day ' slugging leader all season. Their most consistent hitter is Lopez. The Pirates’ offense lacks the shock-power of New York's but has been steadier and more resourceful over the 26-week period of the season. It is led by Roberto Clemente and Bob Skinner with vital consistent support from Don Hoak. Bill Mazeroski, Dick Groat and Bill Virdon. Dick Stuart adds 1 a dash of power when hot and manager Danny Murtaugh has a hitter at catch whether he uses jSmokey Burgess or Hal Smith. Have Speed The Yankees are not a base-steal-ing team but they are fleet and run the bases well. They will take advantage of an outfielder with a poor arm. Mantle is so fast that he steals almost at will but he utilizes his speed more in stretching hits., than in stealing bases. The Pirates aren’t a base-steal-ing team either but they're pressing with hit-and-run all the time and Clemente, Hoak, Mazeroski and Virdon are aggressive runners quick to take advantage of defensive lapses. Mantle may be a dangerous

He’d •' been fired as Red Sox manager • two months before. Today he's not only back as . manager but just about running ' the Boston show under millionaire sportsman owner Tom Yawkey. ‘ The chubby. 51-year old Higgins ( was elevated to the post of gen1 eral manager Tuesday in an an- !, rjouncement by Yawkey; that in- ' eluded the news that ’ Higgins' [ predecessor, Bucky Harris, and farm director Johnny Murphy had been fired. However, Higgins wasn’t given the title of general manager. The ■ Red Sox threw out the title as I “superfluous,” saying a manager , has always had the “final choice in players anyway.” The club said Higgins would continue as field manager and also would be in complete charge of Red Sox players, coming and going. Named to succeed Murphy, former Yankee bullpen ace, was , scout Neil Mahoney, who has been supervisor of eastern scouting for ’ the Red Sox for the past eight years. Business manager Dick O'Connell was given the new title of executive vice president under Yawkey.

Junior High Plays New Haven Tonight TEe juniorhigh football team will travel to New Haven tonight to battle the Bulldog junior high. The junior high boys have been practicing the past week aiM a half in preparation for tonight’s game and appear ready to go all out for a victory tonight. The two teams tied last year, 6-6, in the first battle, but Decatur came out I victorious in the second encounter by a 14-0 score. Two years ago, the two teams tied 7-7, so Decatur has the only victory in three meetings and will be out to grab their second win. Coaches Bob Worthman, Jim Cowens and Fred Isch have announced a tentative starting lineup for this evening’s clash. The line will feature Terry Myers and Jerry Egley, with Eric Kelly and Terry Smitley at tackles, Tim: Magley and John Eichenauer at I guards and Jim Smith at center. Dave Anspaugh will be in the quarterback slot with Gary Sheets and Willie Putteet as his halfbacks and Max Elliott at the fullback spot. The Decatur team will feature a hard-charging, hard-tackling line with plenty of speed and pow-i er in the backfield. What New! Haven will have to offer will not be known until the game is underway. The team will leave by bus ! from Worthman Field at 5 o’clock. , A second bus will be run for any 1 students or adults who don’t have I transportation and about seven 1 cars will also be making the trip. . Anyone who needs transportation is asked to be at the field about five minutes before 5 o’clock.

George Weiss Joins Stengel < In Retirement NEW YORK (UPI) — They’re finally going to break up the Yankees. . The shake-up will be the most thorough one in the club’s colorful 57-year history and will take place shortly after the World Series when general manager George Weiss joins Casey Stengel in retirement. Departure of the 65-year-old Weiss will be strictly in keeping with a new policy by co-owr.crs Dan Topping and Del Webb to bring “younger blood” into the entire Yankee organization. Roy Harney, 58-y ear-old assistant to Weiss at the moment, will move in as general manager, and 47-year-old Jack White, current general manager of the Richmond club, will be named business manager of the Yankees. Weiss, who came to the Yankees in 1932 and has been the | guiding genius behind their sucicess, will become “chairman of the board.” It will be a title and : nothing more. He will have no further say in Yankee .affairs. Weiss’ current salary ! s $75.b00 a year. Some years back a clause was inserted in his contract whereby he could stay on for five more yeaYs at half pay ($37,500) lin a so-called “advisory capacity” if the Yankees failed to renew his contract, which expires this year. Branch Rickey had a similar deal with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He signed a five-year contract with them as general manager at . SIOO,OOO a year. And if his conI tract wasn’t renewed — which it wasn't — he was to become “chairman of the board" at half pay, which he did. It will be the same way with Weiss, who started with the Yankees as farm director and helped build the club into a baseball dynasty. Little World Series Will Open Tonight TORONTO (UPD — The Louisville Colonels of the American Association meet the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight in the opening game of the Little World Series at the Maple Leaf Stadium. The International League champions are slightly favored to win the best-of-seven series. Last Wednesday TV Fight On Tonight CHICAGO (UPD — Two of the world's top ten lightweights, Eddie Perkins and Gene Gresham, meet tonight in the last of Wednesday night’s regularly televised fights. It was rated an even contest, although Perkins is ranked third among the 135-pounders and Gresham ninth. Gresham is from Detroit, Perkins from Chicago.

These prices ' the commission said, “will serve as a guide” in determining fair 1 rates. A commission spokesman said , it was impossible to tell immedi- j ately whether the new schedules t of prices would oblige some pro- , ducers to reduce their present rates. The commission published one schedule for service now in effect and another, higher schedule, for new service. Justice Os Peace, Former J.P. Jailed SOUTH BEND, Ind. (UPI) — James R. Hamman, 29, a justice of the peace, and Philip S. Darrow, 47, a former justice, were jailed here Tuesday because they were unable to post bond on charges of embezzlement. Hamman, a German Twp. justice, won a reduction of bond from $25,000 to SIO,OOO in St. Joseph Superior Court 2. Darrow, former Center Twp. justice, asked for a similar reduction but it was not granted immediately. The State Board of Accounts recently reported a $15,000 shortage in Darrow’s books and $6,346 in Hamman’s, and both were indicted by a grand jury. Both contended th eintricate accounting systems required of them were responsible.

Opening Unfinished Highways Assailed INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) - Two traffic fatalities on unfinished portions of interstate highways were blamed today by Democratic gubernatorial nominee Matthew Welsh on “the political propaganda campaign” of the Indiana Republican state .administration. Welsh said in a statement that the administration of Governor Handley and Lt. Gov. Crawford F. Parker "is recklessly endangering the lives of Hoosier citizens in its desperate effort to give the public appearance of completing interstate highways even though in fact they have not.” “In the last three weeks two 1 persons have been killed in traffic accidents on unfinished interstate highways opened before they were safe, as part of the political propaganda campaign of the Hand- j ley-Parker clique,” Welsh said. ! “The unfinished highways are I unsafe and they have not been | accepted as complete by the Fed- j eral Bureau of Roads. By what peculiar twist of reasoning does the Handley-Parker administration open unfinished interstate highways to traffic and endanger the lives of the men, women and children who travel over them, simply as a political campaign trick?” Welsh asked. “I demand that xne administra-| tion stop playing politics with the lives of people in its frantic effort to remain in office. They cannot redeem the miserable construction record of their administration by recklessly throwing open to tjaffic unfinished, unsafe highways. This is the last desperate gasp of a dying regime.” — | Eacn evening over 4.50 C copies are printed of the Decatur Daily Democrat.
