AMSTERDAM NEWS, Sat, Sept II, IMS I —Will the Yankees allow their first Negro starter, A1 Downing,j to pitch the opening game of the World Series as a bonus since he is eliminated from Rookie of the Year honors or is that start­ ing spot reserved for veteran Whitey Ford?

Downing, a cheerful 22-year- old lefty, who seldom speaks un­ less he is directly addressed, has a bag filled with assorted pitches but his fast ball is amazing. He has captivated the baseball fans with the pitching ability and l>is coolness under fire. Downing Joined the Yankees I early in June from Richmond. He joined the Yankees three years ago when he was called up by the varsity in the middle of his first season in organized base- ball. He was sent back then to the minors for more seasoning. Pitching coach, Johnny Sain, Downing, who has a dozen wins to his credit, is a 'cool cucumber on the mound " Manager Ralp*h Houk said: “That kid has talent he hasn't used yet."
