Series Pool
New Ticket Prices
Bring Prospect Of
SIS Million Cote
By the Assoeietsd Press

Inc YANKEES ana DoQgerS,
already close to clinching their
respective league championships,
may be excused if they suddenly
get eager to finish the job in a
hurry.
They certainly won't be toying
around now that it appears they
may play before a $2.5 million
gate and the largest players pool
in World Series history.
This became a strong posi-
bility yesterday when Commis-
sioner Ford Frick and other
executives decided to kick up
the prices of World Series tickets
enough to increase the average
gate by $4,000 to 100000 a
game.
Box seats are up from So to
$40. Reserved seats are up from
Sc to ST. And bleachers are up
from 81 to So. It'll still cost the
same for standing room-$4.
Starting Time Set.
The men who run baseball
made some other important de-
cisions which fell into the routine
category. The 1858 series will
open Wednesday,, September 80,
in the park of the American
League champion. Starting time
is 1908 pm. (EST), except Sun
day in Brooklyn when the time
will be 2:05 pm.
The Yankees, with a nine
game lead over Cleveland and
a magic number" of 10, open
their final home stand against
the western clubs tonight with
the tough White Sox as guests.
The Dodgers, with a 1212-
game advantage over Milwaukee
and a magic number of four,
swing west for a nine-game trip
which begins with a night en-
gagement at Cincinnati.
The Braves appear in no mood
to make it easy for Brooklyn
mathematicians. In the only
game played in the majors last
night, a playoff of a July 81 tie
game, they edged the Phillies,
80, with some weird ninth
inning shenanigans.
Bruton ScamperS.
With the score tied, 20, Bill
Bruton, Milwaukee leadoff man
struck out. But when Catcher
Stan Lopata missed one OF
Johnny Lindells knuckleballs on
the third strike, Bruton scooted
for first. When Lopata failed to
retrieve the ball, Bill took off for
second.
Johnny Logan sacrificed him
to third and then Bruton scamp
cred home, beating the throw,
when Andy Pafko bounced to
the infield. Lefty Johnny An
tonelli was the winner. Lindell,
making his first start for the
Phils after moving over from
Pittsburgh, was the loser.
Thus Milwaukee prolonged the
National League clinching but
didn't keep the Dodgers-and the
Yankees, too, for that matter
from dreaming about all the
gravy they should lap up in the
World Series.
The record World Series gate
was set by the Yankees and Dod-
gers in 1947 when 389,763 fans
turned out and there was a sew
en-game gross of $2,021,348, in
Guiding $240.000 for radio and
television rights.
1851 Pool Highest.
The largest players pool, lin
tied to receipts of the first four
games, was $560,562, collected by
the Yankees and Giants in 1851.
Both of these all-time high
figures stand a good chance of
being bettered under the stepped
up admission prices, the first
ticket hike in years. Yankee
Stadium has a seating capacity
of 81, 900, EbbetS Field, 32,111.
The stadium, for instance, has
