General reaction of ardent
baseball 'fans around Exeter is
that it would be a great thing
for baseball to. see Milwaukee

Here are,some opinions of the
local sports enthusiasts, around
the district on the big series:
Bobby Hayter,, Dashwood '
"I'll have to pink the Yankees
because of Casey'smastermind-
ing. Although I wduld like to see
Milwaukee win it, Casey has
the goods to work with, It's hard
to say how many games the se-
, 'ries will go but I think it will
be close to the limit. If Mantle
and Skovvron are out of the first
game, Spahn will be the win-
ner. If not, Ford gets it."

but Mrs. Willert made the state-

on New York but if I was using
someone else's money, I'd take

Mervin Tiernan, Dashwood —

The World Series, the bigge
and most popular classic 1
sports history ontthe North Ani
riacn- continent, is unwinding 1
self once again before millions o
baseball fans.
People across the nation wi
have their eyes focused on T
sets. in offices and homes whil
countless others will have thei
ears glued •to portable radio
listening to the. play-by-play des
criptions of every game.
Biggest question faking th
betters on this money series is
was a good thing for Milwau-
kee to win their league. If Mao -
Ile and Skowron are on the limp,
„
Milwaukee will wrap up the s-
:
-
- •ries in five games! Aaron and
t.Adcock could get hot and if
f they did they'd make it rough
for Stengel's boys,"

✓ a sentimental viewpoint, 1 hope
a Milwaukee wins it. In a seven.
✓ game series anything can hap-
pen because baseball is 'so un.
predictable. I'd rather try to pre-
dict th p weather' for next week.
All I an say is if Milwaukee
e scores enough runs, I presume
they'll win the first game.
