NEW YORK, Sept. 24-The New
York Yankees have been installed
as a heavy favorite over the Brook
lyn Dodgers in the World Series
which starts Tuesday largely be-
cause they have in Joe Di Maggie,
one Of the greatest outfielders in
the game.
No flychaser on the Dodgers can
come close to matching Di Maggie
either at bat or in the field, al
though in Dixie Walker. Brooklyn
has one Of the most dependable and
smartest hitters in baseball.
It Is doubtful even if Walker or
Pete Reiser, the best Of the Dodgers
outflelders, can match Tommy Hen
rich, the hustling Yankee right
fielder. who with Johnny Lindell
comprise just about the best outfield
In the majors. This trio easily
rates the call over Walker, Reiser
and either Carl Furillo or Gene
Hermanski.
Although Di Maggie is the only
outfielder hitting over 300, each OF
the Yankee trio has belted 10 or
more home runs and Heinrich has
driven in more runs than even his
illustriorlS centerfield mate. Hen
rich, with 95 runs batted in, is
second only to Ted Williams in the
league. He has clouted 16 home
runs. Di Maggie has batted IN "a
runs and hammered 10 homers.
Lindell Shines as Substitute
Lindell, a converted pitcher. has
done an amazing job filling in for
the ailing Charlie Keller in left
field. When Keller was sidelined
with q back injury last June, 1t
was feared that his loss would prove
a fatal blow, but Linden stepped
in and proved an able substitute.
Big John has been flirting with the
800 mark all season and has driven
lin "a runs In 122 games.
In the field the Yankee picket line
leaves nothing to be desired. Each
can run and get 'em and each can
throw with the best. Di Maggie
has one Of the best throwing arms
In baseball, and 50 does Heinrich.
Lindell also can throw strikes to
the plate. As q unit, the trio has
made only IL errors in 1914 chances
for a .987 percentage. D Maggie
has made but one miscue in 300
chances.
The fine all-around work Of these
three has overshadowed the play Of
. young AL Clark. who was acquired
from Newark early in August. He
has banged the ball at .381 clip in
his few appearances and may get in
the series If something unforeseen
occurs.
Then there is always the chance
that Manager Bucky Harris might
/ play the percentage and install the
lefthanded hitting Larry YogD
Berra in left field in place Of Lindell
whenever the opposition uses a
righthanded pitcher. Berra, nor
mally a catcher, has played a num-
Der OF games in the outfleld. He has
.294 batting mark in 78 games.
Among his hits are Is doubles, 3
triples and II homers, 2 with the
bases loaded.
Reiser's Injuries Hurt.

lack of home-run punch (Walker's s

James Is Restored
To Active Fire Duty

Fire Capt. William v. James was
ordered restored to active duty today
by the District Commissioners with
the loss of only eight days pay
instead of the full "a days since his
suspension on July II on charges
growing out of an explosion in
Engine House No. 18.
The Commissioners approved the
findings of special Fire Depart
ment Trial Board which late We'd
nesday found Capt. James guilty
of the charges and ordered him
reprimanded on two counts. They
were lenient, however, to the extent
of reducing the amount of pay
which he otherwise would have
forfeited.
The Commissioners action was
said to have heen agreed to by
Renah F. Camalier, attorney for the
fire captain. 1t was estimated that
the eight days loss of pay would
cost Capt. James about $l00 but
would represent saving, however,
of about $500 for the full period of
his suspension.
Capt. James was found guilty of
failing to use proper Judgment in
allowing the use of johnson pump
curing the cleaning of boiler with
q gasoline and oil mixture, thus in
creasing the hazard, and of failure
to take proper precautions when
there was reasonable likelihood of
an explosion.
Four firemen were injured in the
blast of the boiler,

is to promote, stimulate and main
tain partial strikes to lead into a
general strike, placing the stability
of the government in danger
Certain areas of Chile, such as
the industrialized provinces of Con-
cepcion and Arauco. were totally
crippled by strikes and declared an
emergency zone. The government
before dawn suspended individual
rights and freedoms in those areas.
Coal mines and railroads appeared
most affected by the strikes, which
the Communists asserted were pro-

these new service heads, MIR. Ross
said he might we'll do that"
Mr. Truman said last week he
thought he would be ready to make

days, and speculation has con-
sistently linked the names of Mr..
Royal, Mr.. Sullivan and Mr.. SYM
ington with the new assignments.
Mr.. Royal was appointed Secre-

Sullivan and Mr.. Symington have

British UItimatum
Tells Jews 10 Quit
Ships or Go 10 Camp
Hunger Strike Threatened; i;
Spokesman in Jerusalem
Coils Decision Shocking
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Aug. 2l.-Britain de-
livered an ultimatum today to
the 4,400 Jewish refugees off
France: Disembark by tomorrow
afternoon or be transported to
Germany.
The Jews are aboard three British
ships which haYe been off Mar
seille for three weeks. They tried
to land in. Palestine a month ago
from the immigrant ship Exodus
1947, a former Chesapeake Bay
steamer.
The Jews will be taken to the
Bergen -Belsen displaced persons
camp if the ultimatum is ignored, a
spokesman for the International
Refugee Organization said at Ham,
burg, in the British occupation zone
Of Germany.
A Jewish Agency spokesman In
Jerusalem called the news shocking.
He said disembarking of these
refugees at Hamburg would be "a
crime against humanity"
The Jews said last night they
would go on hunger strike, if they
were not permitted to enter the
Holy Land. They were placed
aboard the three ships off Haifa
after battle with British boarding
pafties, and returned July 20 to
France, where they began their
voyage. They have refused ever
since to disembark and have re-
jected a French offer of hospitality
The displaced persons camp to
which they will be taken if they
persist in their stand is less than
half a mile from the site of the
Infamous Belsen concentration
camp. The displaced persons camp,
situated at Hohne, is the, largest
Jewish camp in the British zone.
The Jewish agency spokesman in
Palestine characterized the latest
British move as "a fsteful political
mistake An unofficial Jewish
source said it probably would pro-
vide new impetus for terrorists in
the Holy Land.
Agency Refuses TO Intervene.
The British Foreign Office an
nouncement said the Palestine Jew
ish agency probably could persuade
the refugees, most Of them Poles,
to land in France, but the agency
spokesman in Palestine replied:
The Jewish agency Is unlikely to
send a representative to Port de
Bouc to try to encourage the refu-
gees to land in France. These peo-
pie well know what they are doing
and the agency will not interfere. "
A Palestine government source
said the refugees would be taken to
the German camp under guard,
pending screening by security
forces, and then would be eligi-
BILE to be considered lin the usual
way, as applicants for admission to
the United Kingdom as displaced
persons seeking jobs there
The government sources said "It
must be remembered that the deci-
sion to 60 to Germany was made by
the Jews themselves. since they have
elected to refuse Frances offer of
hospitality"
The British Foreign Office an
nouncement said that if the Jews
refused to go ashore the ships would
