Beating Threatens
Fans Who Paid $50
For Sunday Tickets
BY the Associated Press

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1.-THE In
dians. who entered the World
Series as ITO favorites, are
down 80 to the New York Giants
and faced the dubious chore of
beating the National Leaguers
today or becoming the second
team since 1899 to lose four in
row.
Cleveland fans felt a bit sorry
for the Tribe-if you really can
work up mucn sorrow for a
group of professional athletes
who figure to pick up in the
neighborhood of $1,000 each for
the weeks work.
The players share only in the
first four games, and then the
clubs start dipping into the re-
ceipts. But it looks as if the
clubs. unless the Indians do an
about face today, won't slice up
much of a financial melon.
Bookies on Edge Of Seats.
Also facing a financial licking
are the smart guys who paid
scalperS' prices, ranging up to
$50 per seat, for Sunday game
tickets. Should Cleveland lose
today, the tickets will be worth
only the 81 refund.
The bookies who quoted pre-
series odds of 20 to / against
the Giants taking four straight,
also were sitting on the edge of
their seats. A flock of small
money bettors were believed to
have taken the 20-to-1 wagers.
Outside the huge lakefront
stadium, where 71,555 saw the
Giants take 6-2 victory yester-
day. SPECTATORS were attempting
to buy Sunday tickets at half
price-a proposition on which
they could hardly lose. They
made their pitch to downcast In
dams fans leaving the park.
Should the Indians win today
the Sunday tickets would be
worth par on the open market,
or maybe better than that.
Should the Giants close it out,
the ducats would be worth face
value in refunds.
Rooters Haven't Much Hope.
Some of the folk figured the
only way open for a Sunday
game was for rain to force
postponement today. Even the
most rabid of the Indian rooters
didn't hold much hope the Tribe
| could come on to win the Sc
ries-a feat no team has &C
complished after losing the first
three.
Even Bob Hope, the comedian
VINO owns a goodly share of the
Indians, couldn't think of any
thing funny to say after yes
terday'S loss.
But AL Lopez, the nice guy
skipper of the Indians, isn't
ready to give in.
I'VE are still a good ball club,
but we're just not hitting at
the right time" he said. We're
down, but we're not out until
we've lost four games. With
Bob Lemon going today, we fig
ure to win--and once we get
going it's hard to tell what
might happen"

Hank Thompson of the younger set.
But the man who really has been tearing
it for the indians and the American League
is Leo Durocher, who at 48 never was such
a dandy little manager on the face of it,
il only because he stuck to a formula OF
playing a 200 hitter regularly instead OF
one Rhodes . who was outhitting
Monte Irwin by nearly 100 points.
Irwin, starting left fielder of the Giants,
is not as good as he was a couple of years
ago and there were times during the season
when Leo was criticized for not benching
Irwin for Rhodes. eff I start Rhodes" Leo

8 to 5 to Win Today
By the Associated Press

RENO, New, Oct. q
Reno's legal bookmakers said
last night they couldn't find
any one in town who wanted
to bet that Cleveland was
going to win the World
Series. The bookmakers said
they were quoting no odds on
the series outcome.
However, odds on today's
game favored Cleveland, g.
to-5, to beat the Giants, in
the fourth game of the series.
The Giants were 5 to Z.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 2.-Unless
the Indians stage a remarkable,
historic recovery the American
Leagues prestige-to say nothing
of Cleveland'S-iS going to re-
semble a 1929 business chart.
The Giants have the cleaver
hanging over Cleveland's head,
poised to administer the execu-
ton in the briefest possible time.
The Giants could sweep the series
today and if they do, the Indians
will be the first American League
club to drop four straight since
1922.
On that occasion the Giants
humbled the Yankees. but the
latter made it a mite more in
teresting by injecting one tie
game into the series.
Last Beaten in 1916.
Long accustomed to domina-
ton of the World Series. what
with the Yankees winning six
times and the Indians once in
the last seven years. the Ameri-
can League is confronted with its
first defeat since 1916, when the
st. Louis Cardinals beat the Bos-
ton Red Sox.
This is a Cleveland club which
established a league record OF
Ill triumphs, which seemingly
would put it in class with the
1927 Yankees of Ruth, Gehrig
Meusel, Combs and Lazzeri who
won ITO games. Nobody is ridicu-
lous enough to compare the
clubs, however.
There have been suggestions
that there were five exceedingly
inept clubs - Detroit. Boston,
Washington, Baltimore and Phil
adelphia - in the American
League this season. The Indians
are accomplishing nothing to
dispel that notion. Against more
formidable New York and Chi
cago the Indians won %. lost
%. Against the futile fivesome
the Indians were invincible, win
ming 80, losing 81.
Indians Big Three Defeated.
There has been no rush to
stack the current Giants against
the great clubs of the past, but
they've stormed the Indians
big three pitchers-Boh Lemon,
Early Wynn and Mike Garcia.
There were moments yester-
day when many in a crowd Of
71,555 hooted the Indians and
sent UP derisive yelps when an
| inf1elder handled a ball clearly.
The Giants spurted into a quick
40 lead against Garcia to drain
much of the interest from the
game.
Ruben Gomez and Hoyt Will
helm combined to restrict the
Indians to four hits en- route to
a So win. The Giants pounded
Garcia, Art Houtteman. Ray
Narleski and Don Mossi for 10
hits, including three singles by
Willie MAYS and a recOrd.tVinQ

Dusty. who supplied a pinch
homer in the first game and a
pinch single in the second, was
| injected into the contest in the
third inning with the bases
loaded and singled to right, pro-
ducing two runs. The blow tied
a mark set by Bobby Brown of
the Yankees in the 1947 World
Series.
The Giants have scored Ia
runs and Rhodes. playing only
part time, has smashed across
seven.
New York nicked Garcia for a

AWord to the Wise
By Mrs. Frank Colby

Question: There must be some
simple way to explain the cor
rect and incorrect use Of "due
to-" We are utterly bewildered
by our textbooks explanation.
Can you ease our headaches?--
Mary Ann.
Answer: Here is q simple
grammatical rule: due to"
should modify a noun. and not
O verb. Beware especially Of
"due to" at the beginning of a
sentence; it is almost always a
dangling modifier.
Example:
Wrong: 1.-THE bridge collapsed
(verb) due to defective construc-
ton Right: The collapse Of
the bridge was due to Caused
by) defective construction.
Wrong: 1.-THE car was wrecked
(verb) due to faulty brakes"
Right: The wreck (noun) was
due to Caused byl faulty brakes.
Wrong: "They succeeded
(verb) due to their persever-
ance." Right: Their success
(noun) was due to their perse-
verance. Or: Because of their
perseverance they succeeded.
Substitute the words at
tributed to- for "due to-" If
the sentence makes sense, then
"due to" is correct.
Right: His death was attrib-
uted to pneumonia. This SEN
tence makes sense; therefore:
His death (noun) was due to
pneumonia.
Right: Their cheers (noun)
were attributed to the good news.
Therefore: Their cheers were
due to the good news.
But: "He was punished (verb)
attributed to his disobedience. !"
This is nonsense. due to-" then,
Is incorrect. When the device
shows due to" as incorrect, sub
stitute lowing to; because of:
on account Of" whichever is the
most logical, thus: He was pun
ished because of his disobedience.
