Also, their pitching rutation has been thrown out of gear by the divisional title playoff game wih Boston, ‘depriving them of Guidry, 25-3, for the early World Series game. “I enjoy playing in Los Angeles,"’ Nettles said, assuring his team-mates that the Series definitely would return to the West Coast, ‘It's the only place | can see all those 1956 Chevies.

RENO, Nev, (AP) -~ Har- rah’s Reno Race and Sporls Buok gave New York Yankees the benefit of the hume field Thursday and picked the Yankees as 10-to- 17 favorites to win tonight's third game of major league baseball’s World Series. The Yankees return home smarting from consecutive losses to Los Angeles Dodgers in the first two games of the series on the West Coast. Harrah's udds on the Dudgers in tonight's game are 3 lo 2. - The odds mean a $17 bet on the Yankees would return $27 if they win. A $2 bel un the Dodgers would be worth $5 if Chey come vul on top. His lucker is next to that uf Lyle, the seldum used reliever whu was vuled the American League's besi pitcher for the 1977 season, “What a difference a year makes," he remarked within Lyle’s earshut. ‘Last year Cy Young. This year, sayunara,”" ' There alsu was his rejoinder in the midddle of the season when the Billy Martin-Reggie. Jacksun- Geurge Steinbrenner cun- truversy was builing hot: “Every kid wants to grow up to play baseball for the Yankees or join the circus. I'm lucky. I've got both.” When club owner Stein- brenner fined him and four uther Yankees for skipping a civic luncheon, Nettles quipped: ‘T'm signed to play baseball, If Geurge wanted sumebudy {to aitend lun- cheuns he shoulda got Geurgie Jessel." Once when the team bus stopped al a drug store, sumeone asked: “What are we stopping here for?” “Lem has io get two batteries for his nuse,” Nettles said, referring to manager Bub Lemon's bulbous nuse. favored Odds for the best-of-seven series will remain what they were when the first ball was thrown Tuesday nighl.
