...World Series will be televised on WBZ-TV and WNAC-TV starting at 12:45 p.m. The radio broadcast is on WNAC (1260). Vic Raschi will probably start for the Yanks against the Phil's Robin Roberts...
...Yankee Stadium, the Yankees, a two-game series with the Boston Red Sox (8-0, 9-5), behind the pitching of Ed Lopat and Vic Raschi. With only a week of the season left, the Yankee victories virtually bounced Boston out of the American League pennant race, gave the Yankees a 2½-game lead over the fading Detroit Tigers...
Turmpeter Davison, clarinetist Buster Bailey, and trombonist Vic Dickenson are all fine frontmen, and Art Trappier, Johnny Fields, and George Wein furnish a steady background. But each of the horn-players is outstanding on only one of the three qualities that make up a great jazzman--tone, imagination, and the indefinable "drive."

Unlike other managers of pennant contenders, Stengel had not been forced to use his starting pitchers in relief to save close games. His ace in the hole for relief work was Tom Ferrick, bought from the St. Louis Browns in June. Righthander Ferrick, 35 and no great shakes with a second-division club, has become the Yankees' 1950 Joe Page. In 18 appearances on the mound for them...
