A special Series bulletin on weather prospects, said: Temperatures throughout Wednesday will remain in the lower or middle 50's and winds will be fresh to strong north- easterly 20 or 30 miles per hour.

"Happy" Chandler is the man who must decide whether a game will be postponed in the event of bad weather. Movies Chase Lou HOLLYWOOD - ()-The mov- ies offered Lou Boudreau a job yesterday in the best Hollywood tradition. Universal - International said they'd like Boudreau for a new Bill Bendix picture (The Life of Riley). Irving Brecher, the di- rector, was reported en route to Boston to make the offer dur- ing the World Series. But to give it the customary Hollywood twist, the Cleveland In- dians' manager, who plays a lot of baseball-ask the Red Sox-would be cast as a rabid fan, not a player. And a Brooklyn fan, at that. * * * Indians Given Nod BOSTON-(I)-Thirty out of 44 baseball writers at Braves Field picked the Cleveland Indians yes- terday to beat the Boston Braves in the World Series which gets under way here tomorrow. The writers were polled by the Associated Press while the Braves worked out for an hour and a half in the morning and during the final afternoon tuneup for the American League champions. Only one writer, Walter (Red) Smith of the New York Herald Tribune, picked the Indians in seven games. .x *~~ Stanky's Return to Line-up Strengthens Braves' opes Cleveland Rated Heavy Series Favorites As TeamsOpen Before Capacity Crowd "WEEK-END TEST" proves: cleaner, more soothing shaves!

(Continued from Page 1) Lou Boudreau, Cleveland's matchless young player-manager, is in position to field his strongest team right down the line. Walt Judnich, a lefthanded batter, will be in rightfield tomorrow against Sain. Allie Clark will start there when Warren Spahn, a southpaw, goes for the Braves-probably in the second game on Thursday. AGAINST FELLER, Southworth named a starting outfield of Tommy Holmes in right, Mike Mc- Cormick in center and Mary Rick- ert in left. Rickert joined the club only five days ago as replacement ican League winner in the series. Satchel Paige, ancient Negro pitcher with Cleveland, has seen little action lately and is not like- ly to appear in the present series, barring possibly a small relief stint. As the Indians did not get to do their victory celebrating until last night, several looked as though they had been dragged through small knotholes. * * * ALL MEMBERS of the Cleve- land official family scoffed at published reports that the victory party was something of a brawl. True, they said, that fists did fly at one stage of the evening, but they insisted the events consti- tuted "no more than par" for such an outing. Boudreau said he would start Bob Lemon, .20-game winning BOSTON-()-If the World Series form of recent years holds true, the Boston Braves should win the World Cham- pionship this year.

Notre Dame For Purdue With Saturday's game against Purdue looming high on the hori- zon, Wolverine gridders got down to work yesterday, running through offensive and defensive scrimmages. Fundamentals also came in for their share of the day's work, with primary emphasis on defen- sive assignments. Pass defense was stressed by Michigan coach Bennie Oosterbaan as advance notices told of the passing prowess of the Boilermaker's ace quarter- back Bob DeMoss. ALTHOUGH DEMOSS failed to complete a pass last week against Northwestern, he has been com- pared with Norm Van Brocklin in chucking ability. It will be the primary job of the Wolverine sec- ondary to stop the accurate heaves of DeMoss. On the offensive side, the Wol- verines operated both in the air and via the ground route against the JV squad. Alternately using Church Ortmann, Wally Teninga slot, the Maize and Blue gridders connected through the air on nu- merous occasions for long gains, * * * WHILE STRESS< was put on the passing aspect of the Wol- verine attack, the ground game came in for its share of work. Michigan's sophomore duo of Leo (By The Associated Press) Commenting on the Mich- igan-Purdue game next Satur- day, "Fritz" Crisler said yester- day before a meeting of the Na- tional Football Writers' Asso- ciation: "Our running is lousy. Our passing is horrible. Our tack- ling is terrible. And our block- ing stinks. But I think we'll win." Koceski and Ortmann broke through for frequent gains. Bad tidings for the Wolverines came when word that Gene Derri- cotte, ace Michigan halfback and defensive man, would be out of action against the Boilermakers. use fiuse M0oid your oni present this cream side on I -X. side FEEL THE DIFFERENCE 1.
