  • SummarySix men with various belongings sitting on sidewalk outside Yankee Stadium. Caption: "Series Starts with One-Bagger: The valise belongs to Ralph J. Belcore, covered with blanket, who showed up from Chicago at Yankee Stadium 36 hours before game time. In the group induced to join him are Martin Block and Harry Sherman, both of Manhattan on the left, and Martin Rotker of Tuckahoe, William Heller of Manhattan and Gene La Roche of St. Patrick's, Canada, on Belcore's right. This is the 10th straight year Belcore has sweated out a Fall classic in this manner. He predicts the Yankees in seven. Dodgers fans say he's suffering from exposure."
