The Dodgers will be making their {ifth bid to capture baseball's highest honor. They have yet to win a series. The Yanks have 11 series scalps dangling from their belts. The early odds estatlish Casey Stengel's taped-up athletes as a| 10-17 choice. If you like the Yan- kees you have to lay $17 to win $10.; FIRST GAME WEDNESDAY The first two games, Wednesday and Thursday, will be played in Yankee Stadium, the vast structure in the Bronx that seats 70,000. Without interruption, the series moves across the river to the 35,000~ capacity Ebbets Field Friday for three games, in case there isn’t a sweep. The last two games, if neces-} sary, return to the Stadium next Monday and Tuesday. SUPER-DUPER FINISH There have been close races in either the National or American Leazue before but the super-duper finisfies in both leagues this year was unmatched since 1808. Vic Raschi pitched the Yanks into World Series glory with a glittering five-hitter. Raschi, who posted his 2Ist victory, had the Sox, pre-season favorites, blanked on two hits going into the ninth when he faltered and yielded threc runs before Birdie Tebbetts touled out to end Boston’s hopes. ngles by Pee Wee Reese, Duke Snider and Luis Olmo 'trought the Dodgers victory in overtime at Philadelphia.
