ror Series

By JACK HAND

MILWAUKEE (AP)—Hot coffee
weather—chilly winds and cloudy
gkies — are forecast for today’s
opener of the world series he-
tween New York Yankees and
Milwaukee Braves.

The thermometer was expected
to dip to 30 Tuesday night and
never hit higher than 54 today.

A sellout crowd of about 47,300
was assured for the first game of
this intriguing rematch of last
October’s frenzied series. NBC
television is paying $3,000,000 to
broadcast the games. The game
marts at 4p.m. ADT.

The telecast of series games
will be carried nationally in Can- |:
ada by the CBC with its Domin-
jon network broadcasting the ra-
dio description.

Warren Spahn, the Braves’
erafty 37-year-old master of many |
pitches, was pitted against Whitey |i
Ford, the Yanks’ confident 29-
‘yeai-old curveball ace in a battle
of lefthanders. The same men
met a year ago in the opener at
New York where Ford was a 3-1
winner.

CASEY STENGEL

rained during the night and there
were occasional showers in the
morning. The Braves held a long
clubhouse meeting until it was de-
cided to roll back the infield
cover for batting practice.

The Yanks came out in early
afternoon. to take their turn. Man-
ager Casey Stengel went into a
huddle with Manager Fred Haney
of the Braves, the umpires and
Charles Segar, acting commis-
sioner in the absence of the con-
valescent Ford Frick.

the first game despite his three

Despite the fact that the series
is opening in Milwaukee, the
Yanks were favored at 7-to-5 odds
in man-io-man betting. For the

he’s the first baseman.

“The fella in left field (Norm
Siebern). Well he went out and

Apparently Stengel was going
to use both Berra and Siebern al-
though both are lefthanded bat-
ters who will be facing a left-
handed pitcher.

Stengel listed either Don Lar-
sen, the perfect game pitcher of
1956, or Ryne Duren, the fireball-
ing relief man, for the third
game.

The Braves were expected to
use Felix Mantilla, normally an
infielder, in centre field in place
of Bill Bruton. Wes Covington’s
knee and pulled thigh muscle
bother him but he will be in left.
Joe Adcock will play first.

Spahn closed out a fine 22-11
season. The only bad mark
against his performance is the 29
home runs he allowed. After los-
ing the 1957 opener to Ford he
came back with a 7-5 victory in
the 10-inning fourth game.

Haney explained his choice of
Spahn like this: ‘‘That’s what we
did last year and we had pretty
good Juck.’”’

“Ym a changed pitcher,” said
Spahn. “I'l try my changes
against the Yankees.”

Both clubs did their heaviest
scoring in the Milwaukee park a
year ago. It is 320 feet down the
left, field line, 402 to deepest
centre and 315 to right. A six-foot
wire fence curls around the oul-
field.

W YORKERS will not be affected too much by the

fans but they will devote all their time to the men that Fred Haney
sends on*that ball diamond. These pupils of Haney will be out
again to prove that the Bombers are vunerable—so vunerable that
the baseball championship of the world will rest in Milwaukee
pnother year. The Yankees don’t go along with that theory and
they will endeavour bo show the Braves and their admirers that
last year’s happenings should never have occurred.

Furthermore, he said in an in-

Questioned concerning the sad
state of the last-place team with
a 1958 record of one victory in

that the team appears to be con-
fused and bewildered.

‘But it is ridiculous even to
contemplate’ firing Pool, he said.
“Any club that fires a coach in
mid-season is finished. You might
as well give up.”

DOWN THE.

BACK
STRETCH

With Monday night’s racing at
the Charlottetown track they
pulled down-the curtain for this
season, and we feel sure horse-
men and spectators will agree
with us that it has been a very
active and pleasurable one from
start fo finish.

The horsemen raced for more
money than in obher years - we
understand the total was more
than $80,000 - and there were
very few postponements. Our
congratulations to the president,
Dr. J. T. Lantz, manager H. J.
Kennedy, the remaining direc-
tors, and E. Frank Acorn, race
secretary and classifier. Also the
officials who handled the meet-
ings so capably.

LOOKING BACK

As we were thinking about it
yesterday afternoon, we went
back in memory to the days
when it was thought that exhibi-
tions should be held the last
week in. September or the first
week in October. The reason giv-
en was that ‘the roots, vegetabl-
es, and fruits would be ‘netter
ready for exhibition then. Th e
stores advertised the heavier
clothing and other necessives,
and oftimes we had to wear
overcoats in order to keep com-
fortable.

Occasionally there would be
good weather, and one of the
meetings that we recall with the
greatest pleasure was the exhibi-
tion of 1920, the racing dates of
which were September 28, 29 and
30 and October 1 and 2, Our
Ysland track was very popular
then, and horsemen and horses
came from all paris of the Mari-
times to race here.

The best drivers took part. and
John Willard, then the top driver
in Maine, brought his string of
horses. The purses were quite
good, considering the value of
the dollar then by present stand-
ards, and they were from $500
to $600 a race, the total amount-
ing to $6,600.

GREAT HORSES : :

Among the great horses that
took part in that meeting was
the trotter Bill Sharen, that won
both the 2.16 Trot and Free-For-
All Trot for driver Peter Car-
roll; Colorado L. (H, Kelly) was
9-3-2 in the former, and Brage
(F. Boutilier) was 2-22 in the
latter, with the time in this eveat
9.1334, 2.18% and 2.11 % - the
fastest heat ever troited in this
province and one of the gastest
ever trotted in the Maritimes a
that time. Shortly after, Bill

ing darkness.

GAVE HIM EGGS

Dick C. was a horse that would-
n’t eat after a rate, so we broke
up dozens of eggs and drenched
him with eggs*beaten up in miik;
he had two dozens eggs that
night, two quarts of milk, another
dozen eggs in milk in the morn-
ing, ard still another dozen at
eleven o'clock. The race was call-
ed at 1.30 and there was tremen-
dous interest taken in it. We xe-
quested judges to let us away
if we were behind and nodded for
the word. Dick, who was full of
energy, was getting so anxious
that we had to take him ont at
the three-quarter pole and he
just flew away from College
Swiff that had taken a record of
2.114% a week previously. Nhe time
Was 2.14%.

On October Ist., the Free-For-
All Trot was the feature race.

four years after the Brooklyn
bomber won the Olympic middle-
weight crown at Helsinki in 1952.

Now Cus is confident he can
turn the trick again with Jose
Torres, Puerto Rican born
runner-up for the Olympic light
middleweight championship at

Melbourne in 1956. |

Patterson built up from 165
pounds bo a heavyweight. Torres,
however, is a natural middle-
weight in D’Amato’s opinion.

“Torres is almost as good as
Patterson was at a similar siage
of his pro career,’ said D’Amatv
“T think Jose can go all the way.
He is a fine boxer, hits hard if
not as hard as Floyd, and has
wonderful poise.”

Patterson won his first five
fights by knockouts and then had
a tough time beating veteran

(National League champions) vs
New York Yankees (American
League champions),

Le.igth of series — Best four-of-
seven games.

That is a story of long ago, and
we regret to say that drivers who
were so active in the races of

passed on, with the exception of
Danny Steele, who still trains a
stable and races at Foxboro, and
the writer of these notes.
LOT OF SCORING

Racing was very different in
those days; there was a lot of
scoring, and we think the record
for most scores is held by Mon-
vague track where, in a free-for-
afl race in which Vesia Boy 2.02
was a starter and I drove the
trotter, Dr. Sharper, there were
21 scores for one heat. Today,
racing is a cinch, with the start-
ing gate doing away with scor-

be in the physical condition, or
the horse, either, that they had
to have in the days before the
gate came into use, Also the
three-heat plan, which is being

ta two heats or dashes.
YEARLINGS

Tattersalls’ catalogue for its
annual sale of standardbred jear-
lings, which is being held from
September 26 )to October 2 at
Lexington, Ky., has been receiv-
ed here and it contains the tar-
gest number of entries we have
ever seen in a standardbred sale
at Lexington, They number 352,
meluding 72 from Castieton
Farm; 24 from Fairmeade Farm;
12 from Frost Hill Farm, where
Scott Frost was born; 9 from the
C. F. Gaines Farm; 54 from Wal-
nut Hall Farm; 25 from Walnut
Hall Stud; 18 from Poplar Hill
Farm; 52 from Pickwick Farms;
and numerous others.

We expect to see some of these
yearlings sell for. $20,000, and we
believe that the average will
bring the total-sale value up to
the vicinity of one million dol-
lars. This province has been
called “The Kentucky of: Can-
ada,” and as far as
trotters and pacers, it probably
deserved that appellation.

inches, has. swept his first six
fights, four of them by knockouts.
He.was scheduled for his first 10-
round bout Monday night but only
had to go five in stopping Otis
Woodard of New York.

Torres drew the first boxing
sellout at Si. Nicholas Arena in _
11 years Monday night. A crowd
of 3,216 paid $7,174. The fight
wasn’t telecast, which helped at
tendance.

Torres uses the Patterson box.
ing style. He keeps his gloves in
front of his face with his arms
protecting his body and fights out
of a semi-crouch. When he opens
up, he Jashes out with both hands
at terrific speed. Then he goes
back into his protective sheli,

The big question is: C-n he take
a punch?

“We'll have to wait and see,”
said Cus. no one has been able
to belt him solid in his pro fights
yet. And remember this, he
worked out with Patterson.”
