Dull World Series Feared
Lack Of Magnetic Hitters
To Put Stress on Defense
BY BURTON HAWKINS
Star stan Writer

|. CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-Sur-
prises may materialize, but If
the Dodgers wedge into the
World Series-a goal they can
accomplish by beating the
Braves today at Los Angeles
the patience Of fans may be
subjected TO a two-way stretch.
1t could be the dullest series
in years.
No magnetic names will be
attached to the series II it de-
velops to be Los Angeles
against the White Sox. There
simply is nobody on either club
with the stature of such dy-
manic clutch performers as
Babe Ruth. Lou Gehrig, Joe
Cronin. AL Simmons, Bill
Dickey or Lou Boudreau.
Every series produces a hero
of some sort, but If it's the
Dodgers VS., the White Sox it's
likely to be produced from
pitching ranks. There isn't a
hitter on either club who
strikes fear into the heart of
a formidable pitcher.
Hodges, Snider Best
Gil Hodges and Duke Snider
have experienced glory in series
surroundings. but Hodges has
been hot and cold, and his Is
homers and 70 runs batted in
indicate he's slipping. The
same can be said of Snider,
bothered by a bad knee yester-
day and idle as Los Angeles
nipped the Braves. 80, at Mil
waukee. Snider has slammed
% homers and batted in SO
runs.
The top man among the
white Sox with a bat in his
hands is Sherman Lollar, who
belted % homers and batted
in "a runs. He is nursing a
bruised hand as the result of
being hit by Jim Burning of
the Tigers nine days ago, but
even at top physical form he's
no exciting figure.
Accent on Defense
Harmon Killebrew, Jim
Lemon and Bob Allison of the
eighth-place Senators supplied
more punch this year than
Snider, Hodges and Lollar. The
latter trio could erupt in a
short series, Of course, but of
their records they also could
be buds.

Burdette Tries
To Pull Braves
Even in PIoyoff
BY FRANCIS STANN
Star Stan Writer

LOS ANGELES. Sept. o.
Lew Burdette, who twice has
beaten the Dodgers this season
without a loss, was the pitch
ing choice Of the Braves today
as the defending champions
tried to stay alive in this
seemingly dless National
League pennant race.
The Dodgers, 80 winners Of
the first game Of the two-of-
three playoff, were favored to
wrap up the title either today
or tomorrow in the Los Angeles
Coliseum. They pinned their
own pitching hopes this after
noon on Don Drysdale, who like
Burdette is a Highlander.
Drysdale, who has famed
239 to become the strikeout
king of the majors, has a 1913
record. Burdette, the Braves
ace, is 21-15.
Fine Weather Due
Sunny skies and tempera-
lures in the high 70s are ex-
pected for the game, which
starts at 5 pm. washington
time).
(The game will be televised
by Washington's WMAL-7
and broadcast by WMAL.)
The two clubs. apparently
weary, arrived here last night
for the second playoff game.
If the Dodgers win again,
there will be an of day tomor-
row and the World Series will
begin Thursday against the
White Sox in Chicago. If the
Braves tie it up today. necessi-
tating a third game tomorrow.
the series will start in Chicago
on Friday.
"NOt Too Tired"
"We're tired, but not too
tired" Manager Walt Aston
Of the Dodgers said today. I'm
hoping we'll have some mo-
mentum going for us against
the White Sox. provided we
win. Whether the Sox will
benefit or be hurt by their long
rest remains to be SEEN"
In contrast to the relatively
small crowd of 1927 which
saw yesterdays Los Angeles
victory in Milwaukee in the
rain, a turnout of about $4,000
was expected today. This would
not be a banner turnout be-
cause virtually all Of the big
crowds in the Coliseum, which
seats more than $4,000. have
been attracted at night.
The Dodgers management
originally had hoped to sched-
ule the playoff game today and
the one tomorrow (if necessary
at night. However, Warren
Giles, league president. ruled
out anything other than day
time ball.
Fence Dictates Choices
It was significant that both
