TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27. 1955 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE THIRTEEN tiiforW: Series Mantle's Leg Injury Worries Prof. Casey Wednesday, 'Yanks 1 10 By LEO II. PETERSEN United Press Sports Edilor NEW YORK (UP) Manager Casey Stengel was juggling the starting lineup ol the favored New York Yankees today, with Mickey Mantle and Phil Rlzzuto his big problems on the eve of the first name of the World Scries agains; the Brooklyn Dodgers. Stengel's worries, chiefly about Mantle's Injured leg. were respon sible for a slight reduction in the odds favoring , the Yanks , to win the opening game from 13-10 down to 6-5. But New York remained a 13-10 choice to win the world championship for the sixth time in seven years. "I don't know who's in the out field and I don't know who's in the infield." Stengel admitted. But I do know I got two pitchers NEW YORK (UP) The weather man sees an outside chance that rain could mar Wednesday s open ing game of the World Series be tween the Dodgers and tne an res. His forecast early today said there was a "slight chance of light ' rain" on Wednesday. RIZZL'TO WEARY Rizzulo, who will be playing In his ninth World Series, is an un- certain starter at shortstop for the Yankees simply because of weari ness. If Stengel doesn t Mink tiny Phil is ready, skinny Jerry cole man will start at short. If Mantle Isn't ready, then Irv Noven could get the call in center field tv perhaps It might be Bob Cerv. By contrast, Manager Walter Alston making his first appear ance as a series pilot has the Dodgers' opening game lineup all set. It features seven right-handed hitters to face the southpaw slants of Ford, with only big Duke Snider and Newcombe batting left-handed. Alston -is expected to keep the same lineup lor the second game when Byrne, another southpaw, is the probable Yankee hurler. The rivals both had workouts scheduled today but at each other's ballpark. The switch was made by mutual agreement to en able the players to become more familiar with the strung? territory. That means the Dodgers cavort today in spacious Yankfce Stadium, scene of the first two Rames. The famed Brooklyn right-handed slug gers Roy Campanella, OH Hodfres and Carl Purillo will be testing their aim at the distant left lield seats. v Gridder Booed, Then Leads Pitt To Pro Grid Win PITTSBURGH (UP) Bittsburgh sport fans never hesitate to boo their own heroes, but they're prob ably feeling a little sheepish today over their latest attack on quarter back Jim Finks of the Steelers. The ex-Tulsa' star was treated lo Pittsburgh's version of the "Bronx Cheer" Monday night when one of his passes was Intercepted by Leo Stanford of the Chicago Cardinals, who lugged It back 92 yards for a touchdown. That tied the score at 7-7 early in the fourth period. However, Finks tried again with less than one minute to play and this time he connected on a 27 yard aerial to Ray Mathews that carried the Steelers to a lf-7 vic tory in their opening game of the National Football League season. It was Finks' second touchdown pass of the game. He brought the Steeler fans to their feet in the third period with an end zone pass to Jack O'Brien.

Pint-sled Ford, a southpaw who won 18 games and lost seven and has "a lot of nerve," according to Stengel. ' is certain to start Wednesday's game at Yankee Sta dium. He will be opposed by huge Don N,ewcombe, Brooklyn's blaze- balling righthander with the best won lost record in the major leagues 20 victories against only five defeats. Mantle Injured a thigh muscle on Sept. 23 and hasn't played since although he has taken oatiing practice. Stengel said the final dc- Meanwhile, the Yankees will be drilling in cramped Ebbets Field. where the series shuts on Friday for ' the third, fourth, and fifth games. They'll find out just how much closei those walls in Brook lyn are. Manager Alston, anxious to lead the Dodgers to their first World Series championshiD in eight tries and to end the "spell' of five World Series losses to the Yankees. is also beset with health problems. ATTACK Right-lielder Furillo, the ' hot test" Dbdger hitler in the linal month of the season, had to re main in bed all day Monday with a sinus attack, but Alston said "I'm pretty sure he'll be ready." And Clem Labine. ace of Brook lyn's relief pitching staff, reported he was feeling "punk." Tne Dodger- trainers were watching crew cut Clem closely to see if he was coming down with a vims. Indications are that Stengel plans to follow Fold and Byrne by using righthander Bob Turley. his strikeout ace, in the third game of the series the first to be NEW YORK (UP) Here are the probable starting lineups for Wednesday's opening game of the World Series," based on the as sumption that Mickey Mantle's in jured leg will permit him to play: Brooklyn New York Gilliam, If Bauer, if Reese.ss McDougld,3b Snlder.cf Mantle.cf Campanella.c Berra.c Furillo.rf Collins, lb Hodges, lb Noren.lf Robinson. 3b Martin, 2b Zlmmer,2b Rlzzuto, ss Newcombe, p Ford.p Dlaved in Brooklyn.

Ga to change major league baseball, admitted today that he stood at a triple cross in the road. Robinson received an estimated 836,001 this season. The Brooklyn Dodgers, for whom he Iras starred since 1M7, purportedly don't think be is worth that much. Therein lies the future of the man who wiped out baseballs color line. He can take a 23 per cent salary cut- which he won't. He might wind up wiih another team, if It's the "right one ana me is right. Or-he may step cut oi the game. The supposition among those olose In the olub is that Robinson will not receive a pleasing one: and that, unless one of the "rich clubs such as Milwaukee or the Giants airange a deal with Brook ljn for his services, he will step down. FRICTION Tnere simply Is too much fric tion between Robinson and Man ager Walt Alston, all of which stems from the changes both mental and physical In Robin son himself. Back In 1947 when he broke In. Robinson already was a big league player. He proved as much by win ning the National League most valuable player award two years later.

It wasn't until several years later, when he finally was thrown out of a ball game, that Robuison admitted: "Now I finally feel like I'm a ball player." Then, feeling like just another plajcr, he stripped off the kid gloves. And while he was lit his peak, nooody challenged his turn about role. TOOK OVER But then Alston took over the club and, instead of seeing the super siar of whom he had heard so much, Alston saw only a ball player going down the shady side of the hill. At the beginning of this season. Alston Inferred that Robinson would have to win his job like anybody else. Robinson blew up. and he blew again last week when Alston kept him in and out of the lineup. How. Jackie demanded, could he get ready to play in the Woild Series when ne wu.mi t in tne lineup? Robinson in the lust lew years became very outspoken. When Al ston took over, it made for a clash of personalities, particularly in view ol Jackie's reduced effectiveness. "I still feel I can be a regular on most any ball club." Robinson analyzed. "I'm no; having air)' physical troubles and I can run and sllae Just as good as ever. Still, I can't say anything delimit- about next year. Nothing, that is, except that he probably won't be in Brooklyn, and unless another front line club bids for his services he probably will he out of baseball.
