Dodgers not Frightened Of Yanks

(By Judson Bailey, Associated Press Sllort Writer)

NEW YORK, Sept. 25—(AP)—- The world series next week prom- ises to be the most fascinating in many years and although it will be a subway series played, more or less, for New Yorkers, it has ex- cited the entire United States.

Brooklyn's delirious Dodgers are responsible for this intense in- terest, of course, even though the New York Yankees have come coasting up to the classic with all sorts of advantages in their favor.

The Yankees are a marvellous machine. They have won five Am. erican League pennants in the last six years and haven't been de- feated in their last two world ser- ies. They swept to world champ- ionships in 1938 and 1939 in con- secutive games against Chicago and Cincinnati.

They are coming up to this ser_ ies. just as they did in those years, relaxed and ready. Thev have had almost nothing to do during Sep- tember except prepare themselves for the fuss with whoever came out of the National League cauld- ron.

Their invalids have had time to get well and their weary have had time to rest.

If the Yanks were going to face anyone but Brooklyn-even if they We"! 801113 t0 oppose the hard- fighting. courageous st. Louis Car- ’ rials- is monthJong release from strain might well be decisive.

But the Dodgers are "destinyh darlings and some providence has watched over them throughout the hurly-burly struggle that has been 201112 on all , season long in the Senior circuit.

Brooks Not Scared

They are a club that never

knows when it is beaten and they are not afraid of the Yankees with whom thev played 10 exhibi- f-lon games in the spring and split even. ‘ This determination, and reck- .ess disregard for trouble. will be in_ Brooklyn's favor. They make mistakes and ignore them. They d0 5111i’ things that cause other clubs to make mistakes and g0 distracted. They blow leads and then produce miraculous rallies from nowhere.

Arrangements Made to ' Get players

WINNIIPEG. Sept. 25-(CP)— The Winnipeg Tlzoune in a sports page story, lousy says it has learn- ed on re 1e authority that Unit- od States professional hockey clubs have made arrangements calcu- lated to obtain the servces of Mun- itzlba hockey players who have not yet reached tile age group 21 to 25 years, inclusive, Lil-Die for military service in Canada
