Yank, Bum Farm Clubs To Meet in 'Little' Series
The Yankees and the Dodgers will meet all over again in a Little World Series beginning tomorrow night at Montreal.
The Kansas City Blues, a New York Yankee farm club, defeated Toledo, 4-1 last night to win a playoff berth against Montreal, a Brooklyn Dodger farm club which Monday night won the International league playoffs with a 3-2 victory over Rochester.
Winner of the playoffs in the two triple-A leagues meet annually in the Little World Series, which this year pits farm teams of the 1953 World Series. The Royals took a straight four-game sweep from the Rochester Red Wings to enter the best of seven triple-A playoffs.
Lefthander Bob Wieser hurled the clincher for Kansas City, allowing the pennant-winning Sox eight hits. Wieser pitched himself out of a bad hole in the ninth inning when Toledo loaded the bases. He walked four and struck out nine after blanking the Sox earlier in the series. 10-0.
Toledo, which dropped the first three games of the series and then came back to take the following three to tie it up, had a 1-run lead until the seventh frame. They made their lone tally on a walk and two singles in the second inning.
Kansas City scored two in the seventh on a clean single, a safe hunt, an error, and catcher Jim Robertson's double. Two more runs came over in the eighth as Vic Power doubled.
Bill Skowron and Bob Cerv singled and Elston Howard hit a long fly.
It was the second straight year the Blues took the playoffs, and the second straight year the Vikings farm team edged out the pennawinners. Toledo, formerly of Milwaukee, has won the American Association pennant three times in a row.

Big 7 Teams Prep for League Tilts
Buffs Have No Fire
Bouder, Colo. —(UP) — Coach Dallas Ward was disgusted today with his Colorado university football team's failure to pull out of the unenthusiastic type of play evident in last week's game with Arizona.
Ward said he was "very unhappy" with the showing his regulars made in yesterday's scrimmage against a freshman squad running Missouri's split-T and spread formation plays. He also expressed discouragement with the squad's failure to materialize a passing offense.
The undefeated Buffs go against Missouri Saturday in their first Big Seven conference action.
MU Eves Defense
Columbia, Mo. — (UP) · Coach Don Faurot sent his Missouri football charges through a heavy workout on defense yesterday.
Faurot sent the first and second teams against the third and fourth in a scrimmage that stressed goal line defense, pass defense, passing and punting.
Kansas State, long the doormat of the conference, claims some early distinction with the top scorer. He is Corky Taylor, a junior who was the 60-yard indoor dash champion at Kansas City's Southeast High school before he enrolled at Manhattan. Taylor has scored 18 points on three touchdowns in Kansas State's first two starts.
