This afternoon, at 1 o'clock
in Philadelphia, the 19 5 0
World Series will get under
way between the mighty New
York Yankees and the darl
ings of the Quaker City, the
Phillies.
The Phillies pulled their first
surprise maneuver late yesterday
afternoon when Manager Eddie
Sawyer announced that he will
start his ace relief pitcher, Jim
Konstanty in today's opener.
Konstanty will 'oppose the Yank's
Vic Raschi.
Bombers Favored
Who'll win the classic? No one
knows, of course, but on paper
the Yanks must be handed the
edge. A rundown on the two
teams favors the Bronx Bombers.
In a position by position pre
view the teams look like this:
Catcher A standoff between
the Yanks' Yogi Berra and the
Whiz Kids' Andy Seminick. They
are equal in long distance power
but Yogi holds the edge in con
sistancy.
Pitching—The Yanks have Vic
Raschi and his 21 victories, Allie
Reynolds, Ed Ford, Ed Lopat and
Tommy Byrne. The Phils list
Robin Roberts, Bob Miller, Ken
Heintzleman, Russ Meyer, Bubba
Church and Konstanty. But they'll
niiss Curt Simmons. Who
wouldn't.
Waitkus Over Mize
First base—Ed Waitkus of the
Phils hit .284 for 1950 while
Johnny Mize hit .277. But Mize
packs more power than does Ed
dy. In the field, Waitkus is much
superior.
Second base—The situation is
reversed here. Jerry Coleman of
the Yanks hit .287 whereas Mike
Goliat of the Kids hit only .234.
But Goliat powered 13 homers to
The
Phil's Surprise Entry . . .
Jim Konstanty
6 for Coleman. In the field they
are even.
Shortstop —Once more the
Yanks' Rizzuto is the more con
sistant hitter whereas Gran Ham
ner has the power. Scooter bat
ted .324 and Granny .270. In New
York they consider Rizzuto the
best fielding short fielder in the
game but the Quaker City is just
as staunch in its support of Ham
ner.
Third base—Here the Phils hold
the edge. Willie Jones is tabbed
as a future great. He batted .266.
for the year and smacked 25 balls
into the stands. Brown hit .264
this year and Billy Johnson only
.257. Between them they hit only
10 home runs.
Left Field—The Phils' Dick Sis
ler outhit the Yanks Gene Wood
ling by 15 points, .298 to .283.
Dick also packs the power over

Prep For Army
Armed with a full report on
Army by assistant coaches Joe
Bedenk, Al Michaels, and Jim
O'Hora, football coach Rip En ;le
yesterday began preparing his
charges for Saturday's tussle
with the Black Knights •at West
Point
Impressed with the explosive
ness of the Army attack, scouts
reported that the Lion will be in
for a rough afternoon. All 'three
praised the running of Vic Pol
lock, Al Pollard, and Gil Stephen
son, who broke away for long
gains.
Halting Blaik's corps of fast
stepping backs is the principle ob
ject on Engle's work schedule for
the week. He plans to stress Ai
creased speed in covering pass re
ceivers, and improvement in
blocking and tackling.
With the exception of reserve
quarterback Dick Koerber, who
strained .a knee ligament, the
team came through the George
town battle with "the normal
number of bumps and bruises,"
according to trainer Chuck Med
lar. Medlar hopes to have Koer
ber, who tossed a pair of touch
down passes Saturday, ready for
action this weekend.
