WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS, KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON PAf.E NINE (rei!oini(ns p Al Lopez, NL Prexy Disagree NEW YORK Mi A couple of Ohio's top baseball men couldn't got together today on a favorite to win the 1954 world series. Warren Giles of Cincinnati, pres ident of the National League, opined that New York's Giants would take It all. At Lopez, Cleve land manager, said his Indians had it wrapped up. Giles took a look at the 18-10 odds in favor of the Indians, and the fact that only 17 of 54 writers picked the Giants, then warned: ONE-SIDED "Someone's going to lose some money If they bet against the Gi ants at those odds. No series is that one-sided." But Lopez, leading with his ace, 23-game winner Bob Lemon, ap peared confident the Tribe would get away- on the right foot today. "And if we win the first one, they'll never catch us." the even tempered senor predicted. Bobby A v i 1 a, the American League's leading hitter and snappy second sacker, offered a new rea Eon for a Cleveland victory. "Three of my brothers and my cousin came up from Mexico for the series," he said. "I would be . asuamea u we lost wniie my di oiii- Avila, in addition to his batting and second-base chores, is presi dent owner and general manager of the Mexico City Reds. He also turned author, writing his World Series experiences for Mexico City papers. "We want to wind up the series in a hurry," Avila said. "My team opens its league season this weekend, and I want to get down there as soon as I can." LESSONS The Indians had their chance to day to see how well they learned their one-day practice lessons yes terday. They spent almost two hours at bat, trying to pull balls into the stands only 257 feet down the right field line, and 279 down the left. Iiopez said he thought the short foul Jines could be the deciding iactors in the games here. Bobby Feller, the erstwhile fire ball pitcher, doesn't know yet whether he'll start a game for the Indians, but he's the sentimental favorite of everyone to get a chance. On the punny side the press box boys were saying: "The Indians go after that early win today. Tomor row they go with Early Wynn."

It was learned that Roy has giv en the American League written assurance he will listen to outside offers to buy the cluo which his father, Connie, founded in 1901 if he can't raise the money. Roy refused comment on his chances. So did his brother, Earle, who has been in favor of selling right along. Roy would use the money to buy out Earle and his father. , . Roy Mack trained his two weeks of grace at a seven hour session of American League owners here yesterday in the same hotel room ill Whir-h thai Irtarrno vr1A ovallu a year ago to move the St. Louis crowns io Baltimore. The owners listened to two de tailed plans to buy out the Macks. One came from Arnold Johnson, a Chicago real estate man who wants to move the club to Kansas City. The other came from Thomas Richardson, president of the East ern League and a director of the Athletics. Each of the offers was for $3 -375,000. This would cover Connie Mack Stadium in addition to the franchise. The Mack family would have to tinv its riphu ?H,tnrt at more than 1 million dollars, out of the proceeds. 1 Richardson's offer, which he said! came from a small group of mon-1 led friends, would keep the A's in Philadelphia in 1955. But, he said, he needed assurance the league would allow a move "toj any one of six or seven cities ifj we decide Philadelphia definitely no longer is a two-team town." The owners will meet rfgain after Oct. 12.

"Odds don't mean a thing to me," snapped Durocher beiore sending his club against the tribe in the Polo Grounds today. "You win them on the Held, not with bets. Naturally, my guys think they're going to win." That was about a.4 close as Du rocher has come to forecasting the result of the series. He has a self imposed rule that he doesn't make predictions on the outcome of Gi ants' games. LOOK GOOD Durocher's opening day pitching choice ancient Sal Maglic pro duced no eyebrow lifting bmong the experts. Leo in fact, explained lus decision in a way that made the experts look good. It's just how they figured. "I'll have two shots with Maglle, which is what I want," he said. "The Barber needs considerable lest between starts. I can still get three shots with Johnny Antonelli if I need them. I'm not saving anyone. That's a cinch. This thing can go only seven games." As to the rumor that has beer, circulating that Don Liddle might get the call as a dark horse, the Lip said: "As far as Liddle is concerned, I'm not pitching anyone just to get him in the series. The pitchers we think can win will be the ones who will do the pitching." The Liddle rumor started when Boston Red Sox manager Lou Boudreau told some newspapermen that he thought Don, a lefthander, would give the Indians trouble. SERIOl'S Maglie was his usual serious self. "I learned a lot pitching to the Indians in the spring," he said. Antonelli goes in tomorrow's game and at the rata .Durocher is planning, Johnny could win three games. Antonelli, a rubber-armed youngster would be only too happy to nttch every day. Like Durocher, Captain Al Dark, piaved it cagey when asked his prediction on the series outcome. "Let's see now," grinned Dark, a former college football star, HUNTERS ATTENTION! we will skin, cut up or wrap your deer or HANG IT WHOLE Skin on or off k Cutting and wrapping 5c lb.

Nylon By JOE EEICHLEB NEW YORK i The 51st World Series opens at the Polo Grounds today with the Cleveland Inj.ar.s heavy favorites over the New York Giants despite the fact that their two power hitters Al Rosen and Larry Doby are suf fering minor miseries. They were listed to start, however. Rosen, the righthanded slugger. missed the final game of the reg ular season last Sunday because of a pulled right thigh muscle. Doby, the American League's home run and runs batted in lead erand the Indians' chief left handed strength, pulled a muscle m his right shoulder last Satur day and also sat out the finale Sunday. He still can't swing freely. RIVAL MANAGERS On the pitching front, rival man agers Leo Durcoher of the Oianu and Al Lopez of the Indians, a pair of old spring rivals, open with their aces. No surprises. No gambles. No last miuute switches. The opening game pitchers were strictly as ad vertised with Sal Maglie hurling for the Giants and Bob Lemon for the Indians. Leading off with Maglie was strictly in character for Durocher. The 37-year-old righthander was Leo s front man in every impor tant series during the regular sea son stretch drive. Lopez has said all along that if the Giants opened with Maglie, he would pit Lemon against him. Just as the 18 to 10 odds favored Cleveland to capture the world The Indians, who set a record by winning 111 games during the reg ular season to dethrone the New York Yankees, are undefeated in "who's Notre Dame playing Satur day?" Durocher's operatives are in ex cellent physical shape. Their only casualty is reserve inflelder Pos ter Castleman, whose lame knee hampers his fielding. LIFTS PULLS PUSHES I ' 6,000 lbs.

PITCHING CHOICE "Wno else could I pick but Mag lie'" Durocher answered when asked to explain his pitching choice. "He's won the big game for me all year. He beat Milwau kee when they threatened to catch us and he beat Brooklyn to clinch the pennant lor us. He's the lead er. The others follow him." Lopez said he would follow Lemon with Early Wynn, his other 23-game winner. In the second game and Durocher will use John ny Antonelli, his 21-game winning lefthander. Leo declined to reveal his third game pitcher but Lopez unhesitatingly named Mike Garcia who Just missed giving the Indi ans three 20-gamc winners. "Garcia will pitch Friday in Cleveland even 11 he works in re lief la one of the two games here,' the soft-spoken Cleveland skipper said Both managers were confident of victory although they obviously had great respect for each other. While Durocher was naturally ea ger to see the Giants get off on the winning foot, he thought the second game would be the key contest of the series. "If Antonelli can check those guys," he mused, "r may have a surprise in store for them." The surprise, of course, would be Don Liddle, like Antonelli, a lefthander. So- it -comes down to this. If Antonelli wins tomorrow. Liddle will probably pitch the third game for the Oiants.

NO SURPRISES Just as in the case of the start ing pitchers, the respective batting orders showed no surprises. Each team will field its "regular" lineup. Dave Philley. the only doubtful starter in the Cleveland lineup be cause of his .226 batting mark, was in right field and batting sixth. In left field for, the Giants will be Dusty Rhodes, who had been al ternating with Monte Irvin during the past two months. Rhodes, a left-handed power-hitter with a .341 batting average, plays when the opposing pitcher is righthand ed He bats fourth between Don Mueller and Willie Mays. Excitement ran high, perhaps because it marked the first time in six years that a team other than the Yankees was one of the contestants. Odds-makers reported that the betting was brisk with the Indians favored at 6 to 5 to win the opener.'
