‘ Cleveland Is Favourite

Cleveland, impressive in whaling Boston Red Sox in yesterday's playoff for the American League flag, is a heavy favorite among the gameslauthoriries to splatter the Braves in the series. Most d the experts doubt it will go anywhere near the limit. of seven: games. ‘

Here in Boston. though, the fans have just finished watching manager Billy Southworths won- der boys win their pennant breez- fng. and they harbor a sublime conviction they will mow down the rival aborigines from the west.

Both pilots announced their starting lineups. and there were l0 surprises. Most cheering to lavas supporters was the news that Eddie stanky, scrappy little noond“ n. is ready to g0 liter a long convalescence from a lmkcn ankle.

Bl’ NORMAN ALIDSTEDTEIR.

NEW YORK. Oct. 5--tCPt—Pun- ching forward lines injected with youth and heft and the first “re- liable defence" in years are the factors manager Frank Boucher of New York Rangers figures will sharpen his National Hockey Lea- gue club this season.

But Boucher is making no pra- disticns of how his team or the other live N.H.L. clubs will fin- ish the SO-game grind. Says the Ottawa-born former star centre, who perfectly forecast last year's finish:

"All the teams are strengthened. “filling can happen."

Aa the blueshlrts. who finished. in fourth place last April. swung into a. Quebec exhibition series. there were only t/wo factors the RBIIBETS‘ mentor seemed sure of:

Pflntii Lund- 22-year-old Firi- nish-born newcomer. was being tested for the rightwing post on that line, which was hoped to prove s sure-fire marlcplug.

2. Olaude (fllhucki Rayner, the Sutherland. Sask, netminder, laid off by injuries more than two months last: year. will guns-d the Ranger ramparts. His business partner.

Plenty of promising track and field material was seen in action yesterday afternoon at the annual S.D.U. track and field meet and in both junior and senior divisions the athletes came through with smart performances. Although no records were broken the competit- ion witnessed was the keenest in years wtht a great many of the performers showing undoubted ability and proving once more that the province is still capable of producing top-notch track and field men.

‘this branchof athletics had made big forward strideshere during the past several months and evenmore stress will be laid on it in the fut- ure. Work was held up unavoid- ably during the early part, of this season but with the Memorial Field now in shape a very early start will be made when next spring rolls around and the track is expected to be the scene of much activity.

ing out on the next-to-last day of the season in the torrid race with Cleveland and the Boston Red Sox.

No reason was given for the break but there have been reports that Harris and Weiss didn't see eye to eye in the handling of farm talent.

l-Iarrls‘ plans were not known immediately. Rumors are he will join the Detroit Tigers in some executive capacity.

llarrls‘ only comment. utas: “We parted on friendly terms. I am non" a free man. That is all I can say." The 51-year-old veteran Ameri- can leaguer, who began his career as a manager with the Senate's in 1924, was the third man to lead the Yankees since Joe McCarthy stepped out as top field tactician.

Bill Dickey. star catcher, was named manager when McCarthy left May 24. i946. Dickey was re- placed by Noun Sept. 12 of the same year.

Among those rewarded as blah in favor for Harris‘ lob is Jim Turner former Nev‘ York pitcher who is manager of Portland in the Pacific Coast League.
