Moore Gets Hero's
Welcome at Home
SAN DIEGO, Calif. (AP) —
Archie Moore flew back to his
hometown on the Pacific Coast
Monday and was given a hero’s
welcome, despite his failure to
win the heavyweight champion
ship Wednesday.
Moore listed San Diego and To
ledo, Ohio, as his hometowns for
the fight.
He had complained about never
before getting civic recognition
here.
Monday Mayor Charles C. Dail
met him at the airport with a
delegation of Chamber of Com
merce officials.
Archie's son, Archie Jr., 12,
hugged his father, who wore dark
glasses over his bruised right
eye.
Bums, Yanks Prep
For Series Start
By JACK HAND
NEW YORK (AP) Carl Fu
i rillo rested with a cold and
Mickey Mantle tenderly tested
his injured right leg Monday as
the Brooklyn Dodgers and New
York Yankees held final work
i outs in their own parks for Wed
nesday's World Series opener at
Yankee Stadium.
Furillo is expected to be in the
, opening day lineup at his usual
right field spot but Mantle may
not be ready. The final decision
on the Yankee center fielder
probably won’t be made until
shortly before game time Wed
nesday.
Mantle Feels Better
"It feels better,” said Mantle
after swinging away for about
10 minutes at the pitching of
coach Frank Crosetti. Batting
lefthanded, he smashed one pitch
into the second deck in right
field. However, he still couldn't
run freelv. Instead of going to
the outfield, he- fooled around
with a first baseman's mitt, just
to limber up.
The Yanks will work out at
Ebbets Field Tuesday afternoon
while the Dodgers will get a look
at the stadium where the first
two games will be played. Usual
ly, Manager Casey Stengel turns
down an invitation to practice in
the other club's park.
Phil Rizzuto, veteran shortstop,
said this would be the first time
he remembered a Yank pre-series
practice was scheduled f<jr the
Brooklyn park. Rizzuto and his
shortstop rival, Pee Wee Reese of
the Brooks, have played in all
five previous Yank-Dodger series.
Despite the doubt about Man
tle’s status, the betting men
stretched the odds favoring the
Yankees to 13 to 10. The Yanks
remained the 6 to 5 choice in the
opener. As for a sweep, you
could get 11 to 1 the Yanks
wouldn’t do it and 19 to 1 that
the Dodgers wouldn’t win four
straight.
The Dodgers, of course, never
I have won a series. This will be
■ their eighth try. The Yanks hold
the record with a 16-4 record for
: 20 previous series and five
straight under Stengel from 1949
jthrough 1953.
Ford to Start
Stengel confirmed his earlier
announcement that Whitey Ford
18-7 will work the opener and
Tommy Byrne 16-5 the second,
on the theory that his lefthand
ers would be more effective at
Yankee Stadium than at Brook
lyn with its convenient fences for
righthanded hitters.
Unless he has to use him on
relief in the first two, Stengel
probably with start Bob Grim,
7- 5 in the Ebbets Field opener
Friday, following with Bob Tur
ley 17-13 and Don Larsen 9-2.
Walter Alston, Dodger man
ager, said Billy Loes 10-4 prob
ably would start the second game
at New York. He had listed Don
Newcombe 20-5 as his opening
day pitcher when he announced
his batting order in Pittsburgh
Sunday. Big Newk, who won 10
straight at the start of the sea
son and had an 18-1 record on
Aug. 4 had a 2-4 record the rest
of the year.
Carl Erskine 11-8 another
righthander who struck out 14
Yanks for a new series record in
1953, probably will work the Fri
day game with either Johnny
Podres 10-10 or Karl Spooner 8
8 going Saturday. Newcombe
probably would be able to come
back Sunday with three days
rest, provided the best-of-seven
series goes to a fifth game. Clem
LaBine 13-5 and Don Bessnet
8- 1 will be the relief men.
Sellout Expected
Another big sellout crowd of
close to 70,000 is due to jam the
stadium Wednesday. The series
will be beamed across the na
tion by network radio Mutual
and television NBC to millions
of fans.
YOU’LL BOTH GO FOR THIS CIGARETTE!
