PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Chicago - (CPD-It was burly Early Wynn for the Chicago White Sox against Roger Skin ny Craig of the Los Angeles Dodgers today as the World Series came back to Comiseky Park for the first time in 40 years. The weak-hitting but fast moving White Sox were 6 to 5 favorities in this opening game in the ball park where the 1919 "Black Sox" threw the series to the Cincinnati Reds in a scandal which near ly ruined baseball. Manager Al Lopez of the White Sox, who lost four straight World Series, games to the Giants while managing the Cleveland Indians in 1954, used his ace-the 39-year-old Wynn-in an effort to get off on the right foot this time Wynn, coming back from a mediocre season in which he was figured to be reaching the end of the road, led the American league this year with 22 victories against 10 defeats. Craig's record with the Ledgers was 11-5, but that doesn't begin to tell half his value to the team in their down-to-the stretch struggle which was culminated by a 12-inning 6 to 5 victory over the Milwaukee Braves in a pennant playoff Tuesday, That delayed the start of the Series one day. But now they go at it in a best four out of seven game affair in which it is White Sox speed against the Dodgers' power pitching. . Hopes On Rosebor The Dodgers, worn and weary from the playoff which took them 3,680 miles in 48 hours-from Milwaukee to Los Angeles and back to Chicago counted strangely enough on a man. who gets few of the headlines to shackle the speed of the "go go" Sox. They were banking, openly, on Johnny Roseboro-tne man whom fate rushed into the legendary shoes of Roy Cam panella to restrain those White Sox baserunners with John's arm is as quick and accurate as any catcher I've ever managed," sleepy-eyed Walt Alston, the Dodger man ager, insisted in tribute to the quiet catcher whose home run won the first playoff game. "And that includes Campanella." The White Sox iccep&d the challenge on Roseboro's arm. Luis Aparicio, who tied the yhite Sox record by stealing 56 bases this season, " said: "I'll go any-chance I get." Although Alston did not re veal who his starting pitcher will be for Friday's second game-after which the Series shifts to Los Angeles-all in dications were that either Na tional League strikeout king Don Drysdale or rookie Larry Sherry would gefe the call. They are only ; two of the Dodger's fireballers. '-. Police On Alert - After them, Alston also can choose among Johnny Podres, Sandy Koufax or Stan Wil liams. . i a fever pitch with scalpers asking S50 for grandstand seats and from $60 to $125 for box seats. Police, antici pating an influx of visitors including the usual assortment of pickpokets-were on 'the alert and there were defiant howls from the small fry when the Chicago school board announced it would not tolerate truancy even for a World Series.

United Press Internationa Chicago -OiPD- The Chicago White Sox and the Los An geles DodgersS reached 40 years into the past for the talents . they put on display today in the World Series. Because both teams are9 long on pitching - and short on power. ' It's the same kind of base ball, a size-up of the teajjis reveals, as the old Chicago "Black Sox" and the Cincin nati Reds performed in the scandal-ridden Series of 1919. The last time it was held in Com iskey Park. Baseball in that era,, and in that year the "Btack Sox" captured their last v pennant and "threw" the , Series for gamblers, put the accent on finesse. And that's the kind of base ball these two figured to play in this series, because both squads combined can boast of a grand total of only j three .300 hitters and the best of the lot, Duke Snider, exceed ed that mark by a mere eightf points. - Nellie Fox, Chicago's "Iron SPORTS O O n O no r Man" second basemai9 who follows the speedy Luis Apar acio to the plate, is next with Q306, and the Dodgers havv the third best in Wally ftloon.

Deer Hunting Archers Score o Portland - Archery hunters working the Hart mountain and Malheur refuges oduring the shovi season scheduled in these two areas found deer in good numbers and some excel lent archery hunting. At Hart mountain a total of 34 deer was taken by some 450 archers3 who c h e cPe d through the refuge. Hunter success was 7.5 per cent which is a little above the average for archery hunters. 0 Malheur archers found red hot hunting in the willow and tule thickets along theTilitzen river and managed to take 53 deer during the two-day sea son. Hunter success was 15 per cent, a high success ratio for the bow hujiters. A tal of 346 archers was c hsc k e d through at Malheur. $ Several large buck deer were bagged by archers at jboth the Malheur and Hart mountain areas. Hemey will play at Phoe nix and Rogue River at Eagle Point. o : - The Pirates of Phoenix are expected to find the Hornets the toughest they've been in three games, injuries have hampered coach Len Weber's Henley gang in its past two tussles but a review of reports ed possible starters indicates that most of the hands are being counted on this week. After winning 20 to 7 over j Cfiiloquin, the Hornets! bowed 6 to 19 to Lakeview ! and 19 to 33 to0Merrill. Crip-1 P1 as was Henley, never theless, gave Merrill, last year's state B champ, a fourth qi?ar?er scare. ' Backs Gary Pippin, witbo a shcwilder dislocation, and I Larry Lugo, v?th a shoulder fl separation, were - the gorst casualties among seven regu lars who were out of action a week ago. Yet, both are shjiwn as starting possibilities At Phoenix, coach Qack Wogdward's charges are still I working hard overcoming tlftir pass defense weakness. Offensive blocking against an eight man defensive line has & O been a practice measure in ef fort to strengthen the Pirate ground attack. The kicking game has had attention. Woodward said that his re serves have been coming along and that he hopes to alternate players much this Friday. Freshman Rickey Richey and sophomore Harry Gay were standouts on defense in the 34 to 0 win over Illinois Valley last week and likely will be among those starting this time. Phoenix has a win on its record of 31 to 23 over Mt. Shasta, Calif., and was beaten 7 to 12 by Brookings.
