Just prior to his leaving for the training camp a few weeks ago. this writer asked Bueko how the knee was holding out and his impressions at that time were that it was gding to be OK, as it hadn't been giving him nny. trouble all season, but he re- marked at the time that it would be hard to tell until lir- got hack to playing hockey again.

The latter event should he one that will draw a hliz crowd as ll has been a long time since local fans have been able to see two good heavles in action here. in fact even a longer time since they have seen “Big Boy" in action iii a local ring.’ And adding to tlie Zest of things will he the further fact that in a recent scrap be- tween these same two fighters, Jackson scored a decision over the local champion, and both fighter and fans will be turning out to see a local victory scored

But whether things will turn ou that way or not is hard to say. as Jackson is a boy wlfo is known to pack plenty of wnllop. But re- gardless of the results, fans can depend on seeing a rugged scrap before one or the other emerges the victor.

Weary Pennant Winners Brace For World Series

There is no doulbt that the Yank- ees will be favorites-M's all a matter of degree. Possibly Stengefs gritty athletes will be a solid 2-to-1 choice by the time they square off at 3 p m. ADT Wednesday. espec- iaily if Joe DiMaggio shows no ill effects of his exertions during the week-end and derives real benefit from the two-day rest.

The great Jolter. heart and soul of the Yanks. took himself out of the line-up in the last inning of yesterday's victory over the Red Sox because he was too weak to run as he thought he should. He has been up less than a week from a protracted bout with a virus in- fection.

It is considered a possibility that ‘ITTIIDITEPT Burt Shotton may pass over Roe in favor of his big Negro rookie. Don Newcombe. who racked 17 victories after reporting to the Dodgers from Montreal in May.

The Dodgers lat-k such a fireman since their old stand-by; Hugh Casey. left them last year. He join- ed the Yanks recently but isn't eligible for the Series.
