DODGERS WIN WORLD SERIES Gunners Learn Mountain Climbing
Bert (8) Beats The Champion
Seen here is eight-year-old Bert Furse of Clapton, London, who learnt to swim when he was four (because he lived near a river, and his parents were afraid he might fall in) and could swim a mile when he was six.
Last week he took on Olympic champlon Judy Grinham over one length of the pool at Edmonton - and, with six seconds start, covered the 33-1/3 yards in 22.4 seconds to beat her!
Now his docker father Albert claims that Bert is the fastest kid swim. mer in Britain, and to prove it, he is ready to award a cup to any boy or girl under nine who can beat Bert over 33-1/3 yards. Photo shows Bert and cham- plon Judy taking off. - London Express Photo,

Six weeks from now, the Flat racing season ends and, on paper, Britain's classic resources for 1960 are in a doleful plight. Already it is clear that early betting on the 1,000 and 2,000 Guineas will be dominated by the French and Irish,

Chicago, Oct. 8.
The Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series today when they crushed the Chicago White Sox, 9-3 to write a now baseball "rags to riches" story.
A riotous fourth inning in which the Dodgers came up with six runs was the difference. It crushed the White Sox hopes of removing the stigma set on them 40 years ago when the "Black Sox" lost the Series to the Cincinnati Reds.
