Dodgers, Red Sox Choices of Fraley

By OSCAR FRALEY = United P Sports Writ > > JAMAICA RACE TRACK, N. Y. Apr 3=

Get your deuce down,” Daisy, it's the Boston Red . Sox and the Brooklyn Dodgers in a World Series dead heat in 1951. That's Fearless Fraley’'s prediction today on the outcome of the baseball pennant races—inspired by eight straight alsorans and a theory that you can’t lose 'em all.

” ” 8 IF THAT floors you, coming as it does from footsore downs, be advised it took a lot of haphazard thought to select the proper locale for such an effort. Most of us experts make the mistake of getting so close to the planks we can't see the lumber yard. Take the average baseball: seer. trip to Florida. He has to sit in the sunshine and miss all our nice snow and sleet. He's distracted terribly by all those bathing beauties. And every manager convinces him that the pennant this season is his personal oyster. ¢ ¢
