Y VWVea®t 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. RECORD AGAINST NATIONAL No National League team has BURDETTE FOR THURSDAY Lew Burdette, passed over for the first game despite his three / sensational victories for the 1957 champion Braves, pitches Thurs- * day’s second game. He will be op- posed by Bob Turley, the Yanks’ %1-game winner. 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 Open opener it was 6 to 5 and take your pick. For a time Tuesday morning it geemed there would be no final workouts ai County Stadium.

You've goita say he’s the first baseman. “The fella in left field (Norm Siebern). Well he went out and hit .300 so you almost have to go with him, don’t you??’ 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. BRAVES HAVE INJURIES : Milwaukee is handicapped by Injures. Bruton’s knee hasn’t healed completely.

In 1955 Hank Bauer and Mickey Mantle were crippled and last year Mantle and Bill Skow- ron were below par although they Casey said he is thinking of “Berra has caught Ford so FRED HANEY can play. 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. { Wed, October 1 ‘|standing broad jump.

The Braves be- lieve the de’ence will be successful and so do the thousands of joyal Milwaukee fans everywhere. fThe battle opens in the friend. ly confines of Milwaukee’s County Stadium and there’s no doubt whom the huge portion of spectators will be howling for this afternoon. W YORKERS will not be affected too much by the eplltag displayed for the hometown Braves. They expect guch things and won’t for a moment let that interfere with their brand of ball. The Yankees will not be the least interested in 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. PITE THE TALK about the greatness of the Milwaukee agree oddsmakers still have the New Yorkers as favorites to win*back the world crown.Naturally we agree with such. reason- ing’ and we feel confident that this time the favourite will come through. ‘fhe experts are conceding the Braves an edge in pitch. ing (we're still too stubborn to admit even that) and the Yiankees an edge in hitting. They are calling both teams on the same basis as far as fielding is concerned. And after all that analysis they tall the Yankees to win back the championship. i SPAHN and Whitey Ford are starting today and nat- My eck southpaw is hoping that he will have what it takes to get his team out in front in this best-of-seven series. Milwaukee fans are hoping that Ford isn’t the Whitey of old. They are. eae fo convince themselves that the left elbow that sidelined ge) in August is far from cured. Yankee followers bounce back wi fhe assurance of champions, stating that Whitey is as good as new.

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.

The creweut, white - haired manager guided Floyd Patterson to the world heavyweight tice 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.

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.

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.
