Whichever club squeaks through in the senior circuit, the Red Box the baseball classic as heavy favorites, largely because they have Ted will“?! t e in the game iii-e certain to enter filld Dom DiMaggio two of greatest outfielders mdriy.

Likewise, the Dodgers could have come close to providing a match for the two jlub flychasers if Pete Raiser, wily outstand- ing player, had developed the miseries in one l . He and the veteran Fred (Dix e) Walker can make a pitcher run and hide when they team up. But Pete has been of little use in the hot flag drive and cannot be counted upon for the big series. That leaves Williams, probably the hardest hitter in the gsmc to- day, and DiMaggio, who comes (‘lose to being the game's finest fielding artist, in full possession of the fort. Williams, who leads the American League in runs scor- ed and runs batted in. is batting with Hank Greenberg for the homerun leadership and is second in battin . ~ interesting to see whether the winning National Icague pilot resorts to the des- perate expedient of switching ai- most his entire team to the right side of the diamond when Ted comes to bat. Williams’ stick aver- age has fallen off consido ably since rival American League teams began-using unorthodox defensive formations against him. With Williams and DiMaggio imaging the headlines, the third Sox outfielder has been more or less the forgotten man. In fact, there are ,four of him, Wally Moses and George Metkovich for use against right-hand itching, and Leon Culberson and om Mo. Bride to face southpaw-a.

Sept, 24 —(CP)- Some liockcy coaches have to worry about getting enough toil notch players to ice u team, but: Dick Irvin of the world champion Montreal Canadians is plagued by an over-abundance of talent. The National Hockey League and Stanley Cup champions start- ed their practice sessions nt the Forum last Thursday. So far 58 regulars and hopefuls have tried out, with more to come at the eiid of the week. "Right now we have about 24 players, all good enough for the N.I-I.L." Irvin said this afternoon as he watched the youngsters and a handful of regulars sweating it out. The regulars have their workouts in the morning hut to- day Irvin had six of them out for a double whirl. The punch line- Lach, Blake and Richard-along with deiencemen Kenny Reardun and Butch Bouchard and goalie Bill Durnan were out giiving the rookies an idea of ho\v it is done. The rookies have a tough time trying to crash the regular rom- hinations of last year, not to men- tion such minor lcague timber as Murdo McKay and Roger Leger. of Buffalo Bisons. last year's Am- erican Hockey League champs. Burly dcfenceman Leger, mast val- uable player in the A.H.L. the past two seasons, has pared down to 310 pounds and is showing up we Jack Portland, former Canadians star back from army service, also‘ is showing up well and has drop- ped from 215 to a streamlined 198. Among the amateurs, 25-year- old Bill Baimer is “one of the best: defence prospects in several years." according to Irvin, Balmer played last year in the Toronto Mercan- tile League. Tod Campeau and Gerry Plam- ondon, first two ranking scorers in the Quebec Senior Hockey League last year with Valleyfield, are cut- tinrg some fancy capers also. he weather the last few dayl has been too hot for good hockey, but it can't be, beaten for con- diiioning.

Flock To By The Canadian Press Big-time hockey seems to hold more attraction for the Domin- lon's ice hopefuls than ever be- fore. A Canadian Press survey to- day shows that the managers and coaches of the six National Hockey League teams have some 350 eager asplrants- a record number -from which to pick the 100 to 120 play- ers who will make up their ros- ters when the tough BO-game schedule opens in mid-October.
