ONEW YORK Sept. 30-(R-
The Brooklyn Dodgers and
New York Yankees are all sci
for tomorrow's opening game Of
the world series, with Whitlow
Wyatt, the bald, squeaky-voiced
Georgian, ready to take the
mound against Charley Cred
Ruffing, veteran ace Of the
Yanks.
The Il anagers of tho two pen
nant- winners delayed announc-
ing definitely their starting
choices until after the teams had
worked out again today, and
Leo Durocher of thu Dodgers
said he might not select his first
finger until tomorrow morning,
but from players Of the compel
ing clubs it was learned that
RuffinS and Wyatt, the obvious
choices had been instructed to
get ready to pitch the first
game
22 GAME WINNER
Wyatt, who became 80 years
old Saturday, won % games and
lost 10 for the Dodgers during
their National League struggle
and pitched most Of their
critical contests, including that
which clinched the pennant last
Thursday at Boston.
An American League castof,
he was one of the outstanding
hurlers of the entire season. His
prestige is so great that he may
make The Dodgers an even
money shot to win the initial
game starting at 1870 pm. to-
morrow at Yankee Stadium.
This will be WAITS frst
world series, but Ruffing, big
36-year. old rishthanded ace of
the American League cham
pions, has pitched in seven
series games, winning five and
begin charged with one defeat.
He basged only Is games this
season, but was not used nearly
as often as Wyatt.
"a. 600 EXPECTED
A capacity crowd Of about
10000 was expected to jam the
Yanks' big concrete stadium for
the first game. although. the day
was expected to be cloudy and
there was a possibility Of show
ers. If the start of the series
should be delayed. or If any
later contests are postponed, or
end in ties, the subsequent
simply will be pushed back q
day. AS fixed by Commissioner
Kenesew M. Landis the first two
games will be played ut Yankee
Stadium Wednesday and Thurs
day; the next three at Ebbets
Field Brooklyn, Friday. Satur-
day and Sunday; and II more
are necessary the teams will
return to Yankee Stadium for
sessions Monday and Wednes-
day. The open date before the
seventh game is to allow time
to sell and distribute tickets.
This will be the sixth subway
series for New York but 1t has
stirred up more excitement al
ready than any of the conflicts
that the YANKEES and Giants
waged IN the past. 1t is the 18th
time in FL years that the Yanks
have been in The big show, but
only the first time in the same
length of time that the Dodgers
have been up here.
MILLION OUT FOR PARADE
Brooklyn has acquired fol-
lowers throughout the country
during the season and the bor-
ough itself seethes with Joy and
enthusiasm at the success Of the
flatbusn fans beloved Buns.
More than q million persons
turned out yesterday for a
parade and celebration honor
ing the National League cham
pions and the crowd was 30 i'm
mense it got beyond the control
of police. The Dodgers, who
rode in open cars at the head
of the procession, were lucky to
escape their admirers and get
back to their Manhattan Hotel
altogether.
