Even if they dropped the 19 duels, which is WORLD SERIES PLANS (Specias #> The Citizen) NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Base- Ball's biggest show, the world series, opens Oct. 1 in Yankee Stadium, Commissioner Kené- saw M, Landis announced yes- | terday—but if’s siill too eafly to tell whether you can ridé to the othel half for a nickle in Brooklyn. Virtually forgetting the chances of the National league champion -Cincinnati Reds, the baseball moguls arranged two | complete schedules involving the Yankees and Brooklyn, arid the Yankees and St. Louis. The only new feature of this year’s vrogram is a one- day ititermission befween” the sixth atid seventh games, pré- vided the series goes that far, in order to help ticket sales on the last contest. For the Dodgers the schedule would read: Games 1 and 2 at Yankee Stedium Oct. 1 and 2; games 3. 4 and 5 at Ebbets Field Oct. 3, 4 and 5 game 6 at Yankee Stadium Oct. 6: game 7 af Yankee Stadium Oct. 8.

So, all York has to do is to down 1 Bostonians this afternoon and} Settle the issue right now. Stiff Fight For Yanks s"The Red”Sox put up“ terfific/ 5° fight before succumbing . to the, powerful New Yorkers. ‘They jumped into the lead in the sev- enth with a lone marker but were tied in the nex round when Tommy Henrich clouted his 27th; homer of fhe season. From then until the éleventh, neithe® team scored. Im the fatal mning, the Yanks loaded the bases on ¢on-/ Secutive singles by George Sel-) kirk and Joe Gordon and an in- tentional pass to Gerry Priddy. Then Selkirk scored the “paying” | run when pinehhitter Red_Rolfe | forced Priddy at second. Boston got to Ernie Bonham for singles in each of the’ first five innings. A triple and single brought. home its only run_of the ; game im the severith. In all, the Red Sox outhit the Yanks, 10 to 7, and alfhough ‘they threatened several times Bonham proved ef- | ‘fective in the pinches. ‘Wagner, who went the route for Boston, held the Yanks cee until the fourth.

Sept. an excellent opportunity to wrest. ithe National League lead from the St. Louis Cardinals yesterday j afterhoon, the Brooklyn Dodgers gambled on the pitchifig ability lof a rookie hurler and muffed} ithe chance. Rain made the Cardinals imac- tive, while the Dodgers took on the last-place Philadelpiiia Phil- lies in a twin bi. Dispensing with the Phils 4-1 in thé opener, Manager Leo Durocher pulled what proved a boner in the nightcap and lost the game by an identi¢al score. Thus, the Bums of Brooklyn, ‘instead of resting on top today with practically a full game mar- gin, are .002 further behind the Redbirds than they were the day ibefore—or a total of .004. ; Probably imfluencéd by the vedise with which Whitlow Wyatt 'conquéred the Phils in the first jana the fact that they are the | worst club in the senior circuit, }Durocher started Ed Albosta on \the mound in the afterpiece. Albosta, making his major league ;debut, just couldn’t hold the | Phils. on top of that, he ran in- {to four-hit pitching by Frank |Hoerst. Brooklyn failed to touch |Hoerst until the sixth and were jheld runless until the very last |round. The Bums got two sin- |gles in the sixth but a fast dou- ible play stopped them in their | tracks. A pair of singles and a | passed ball accounted for the lone {Bum marker.
