General reaction of ardent baseball 'fans around Exeter is that it would be a great thing for baseball to. see Milwaukee use thole •hatenets• on the New :Yorkers and ride the gravy tt.41,;•4 train home back to Wisconsin. 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." Wayne Willert, Zurich — Be was unavailable for comment but Mrs. Willert made the state- ment' that she heard her bus band say.
