Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and hello baseball fans everywhere.

This is Jimmy Dudley at the Tolo Grounds in New York, reading you for the Gillette

Taked Eraser Company.

As the Cleveland Indians and the New York Giants get set for the opening game of the 1954 World Series.

This is the 16th consecutive year that baseball's championship classic

is being broadcast to your entertainment on the Gillette Cavalcator Sports.

Yes, and because so many of you sports fans are also Gillette fans,

we broadcast and telecast other athletic events of national interest, including the regular

Friday night boxing bouts for your entertainment the year round.

And our fans return you over to one of baseball's all-time great.

Frankie Frisch, the Fordham flag. Frankie is on deck in the clubhouse right now to give you the inside rope on the series. Today he interviews baseball commissioner Fort Rick, the National and American League President, Warren, Giles, and Will Hage, along with Rio de Rocha and Al Lepaid. Take it away, Frankie Frisch. Hey, Frankie Frisch. Good afternoon, fans. Well, it's a pleasure to have on our program.

The both managers of the two fine ball clubs, Mr. Al Lopez, Al-Hawai, the Cleveland Indians, and Leo de Rocha.

Say, Al, I can ask you one question.

You've done a terrific job.

I won't be on a championship club. You've got to do a terrific job. I'm going to be on a championship club.

You've got to do a terrific job.

What would you say to responsible for your club winning the penalty? You want to? Now, you finished, what, sucking back of those Yankees for two or three years? Three years in a row, five years in a row. A couple of men, three or four men, helps you. Well, fact, the only thing I can say is that bit works with a great help to us at first base.

It gave us that little extra hunts.

Our bench was tremendous. It really helped us because we have fellows like Rosen, Strickland, Avila, and really top-clite ball bears out of the lineup for two or three weeks at a time. Then our extra pitching, fellas like Newhouser and those two young boys, Don Marcy and Ray Gnaleschi did a tremendous job for us. I think that that was responsible mostly for the success that we've had this year. Hey, Leo, the Jamper Club, that first came out, that's pretty good. How about your club hopping up there? Well, thank. They played wonderful as a team, as you well know, and I couldn't put my finger on any one man. Alvin Dark, naturally, the captain of the club, Willie Mays were great, Matt and Ellie. But I think it was more of a team effort as a unit that did a great job. And naturally, Al sitting alongside of me here, I'm hoping you can continue right on through the series. Well, you know, I get a pleasure out of this because both you've played for me and both wonderful team, man. Let's not go back to that, Frank. You know, that's all you want. You know, you're back. I mean, no question, you're great heads. Say, listen, Al. Jolette, Raysen. I know you'll enjoy it. In the back of that. Thank you, Frank. That's a very nice reason. Thank you. And Leo?

This is my favorite, too.

Well, I say, how old is that youngster of yours?

He's 12, Frank. Look, give him one of those two. He'd be able to shave pretty soon. And in fact of that, I know he's going to enjoy that. Well, series, did you let World Series record book? It's got everything in it. It's a terrific book, and it's got every little thing in it.
