NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-Cleve-
lands "big three" pitching staff,
plus the tradition of American
League success, make the In
dians 17-to-1O favorites over the
charged-up Giants in the 51st
World Series opening Wednes-
day at the Polo Grounds.
Bob Lemon, Early Wynn and
Mike Garcia form a solid front
line of Cleveland starters for
this annual best-of-seven series,
although the Giants have no
apologies to make for Sal Maglie,
Johnny Antonelli and Ruben
Gomez.
No National League team has
won a series since Enos Slaugh-
ter dashed home with the de-
cisive run for the Cardinals
against the Red Sox in the sew
enth game in 1946. Six of the
last seven went to. the Yankees.
The other. was won by Cleveland
in '48. In the overall stand
ings, the American League has
a 1917 margin.

led by Willie Mays, are attract
ing solid support from their

-, Cleveland was slow to awaken
to the Tribe this season, but hit
a peak with a crowd of 84,587
the day the Indians beat the
Yanks twice and practically
nailed down the flag. Municipal
Stadium holds the all-time rec
ord of 86.288 for the Sunday
game against the Boston Braves
in the 1948 series, and that
probably will be matched next
Sunday.
Both clubs look forward to
record player shares because of
the big Cleveland stadium and
the $1,000 seats in the Polo
Grounds. Each winning share
may go to $4,000, and each
loser should get about $4,000.

Gonzaga pushed So yards in

Fullback Frank Vita piled

All but the first touchdown by

Following an exchange of

field and the big tackle chugged
to the 1-yard line before Floyd
Lankford hauled him down.
Quarterback Whitley Murray

Episcopal, making up in con-
dition what it lacked in size,
