Larry Doby's homer, the first of the jeries, provided Gromek his margin ol victory. The only score the Braves msde off the 27-year-old righthander was ft. home run in the seventh by Marv Rickert, the-minor league outfielder who got in the playoffs at th? last minute because 'of an injury to Jeff Heath.

The old series attendance record was 74,065 set to Yankee Stadium last year, and the previous high eate was made here The Indians today beat the big tobacco-chewing fellow who licked them in the Boston opener, Johnny Sain. They clipped him for only five tits, all in the first five irames. But one of the!" blows was a double by Boudreau with an underling on base in the first inning-, ana -another was a home run smash by the negro outfielder, Larry Doby, deep over the right center field railing in the third. Thai was all Gromek needed as lie sneaked a weird assortment of curves and screwballs pajt the be- irildered Bostons. In all, he gave up seven hits, but RJcfcert was the only Brave to see third base.

Just to demonstrate that he could hit, the Cleveland chukker racked up two strikeouts in the final inning, flis only ones of the game.

St. Bonaventure And Eagles Tie NEWTON, Oct. 9 An unheralded and hard playing St. Bonaventure football team, surprised all but their few supporters today by battling a heavier and favored s' u'ndefe'ated Wildcats Boston College eleven to. a 7-7 tie ons roaring back from a 16-0 deficit in 16,000 fans at Alumni Reid; the first nine minutes, of play, only touch- day passed over Minnesota's brawny line for a 19-16 triumph.

They played before a capacity crowd of 47,000 in Dyche Stadium. the Braves, starting hi the second game of the series. Gene Bearden southpawed them into -a helpless yesterday. As a matter of passing interest, Rickert's blow was exactly the 200th home run ever hit in 3. World Series game.

Fourth Pitching Duel Again, and; for the fourth straight day, today's great crowd more or less sat on its hands. Pitching duels do not, for some reason, generate great deal of enthusiasm, and all this series has seen is pitching of very high caliber, injesd. Today's throng raised Its blood pressure only twice when Doby socked the winning hit, and when Boudreau was called out at third by Umpire Bill Stewart, Cleveland's favorite'villain, after delivering his timely-double in the JKst inning. Dale Mitchell, Tribe leftfielder, inaugurated the contest with a sharp single through the box, for which Sain didn't even bother to stop. Doby was an infield out, and then Boudreau, handsomest of all the managers, poled a long one down the right field line.

It -was double easily, and Mitchell raced across by Jor some reason Lou, who aho is one of the slowest pilots in the business, decided to stretch it by one sack. The Celevland pilot was called out by Stewart and a rhubarb ensued. Doby's Wallop Clincher As it happened, Stewart's call-on Boudreau didn't affect the outcome today. Doby's wallop two innlnss later took care of that. Boudreau' naturally -was jubilant after the game, but he refused to bice at a suggestion that the series was all over except for the snout- ing.

He said that, "Yes, his pitching staff, was in excellent shape, Feller rested and ready for the fifth game-" But he declined to predict a victory tomorrow. ITanager Billy Southworth the Braves announced before the series began that he would use the veteran Nelson Potter only for relief chores, but he had to alter his plans after watching Sain get his lumps today, dindicated Potter will start: Gromek. who muzzled the Braves today, granted only one walk. Rickert, -with his homer and a and Torgeson, with his two doubles, packed practically all the Boston punch. The only other safe ones off Gromek were a lead-off lingle by Sddie Scanky in the third, a single by Sain with two down In the and a looping hit left by iHke JTcCormick immediately after Rickert opened the seventh with his -500-fooc blast into srowd.

Sain Gives Away Hit Sain, -who allowed the Indians four hiss in winning the opener from Feller, would have matched that performance exactly but for an unaccountable fielding lapse on his part when Ed Bobinson, Cleveland first-baseman, slapped a roller toward right ia the fifth. Torgeson fumbled the pellet momentarily, but then caae -up -with it In plenty of time for the only Sain had been there. But the pitcher -was standing dozen feet away, merely looking on. (Continued on Page 31, Col. 7) The victory was Northwestern's third consecutive and second big nine triumph, while the defeat was Minnesota's first after non-conference wins over Washington and Nebraska, Northwestern, which.had blanked UCLA 19-0 and Purdue, 21-0, saw its goal line crossed by an alert band of Gophers, but charged back, to victory on JDon Burson's accurate forward passing.

All of the scoring was concentrated in the first half. Minnesota hammered across a safety and two touchdowns for a 16-0 lead before the careless Wildcats realized they had a tough assignment against the hulking Gopher line. But the a strong favorite to represent the big nine in the Rose Bowl game New Year's courageously for a touchdown late in the first period, and two more in the second. When Northwestern's heralded running attack- ran into serious trouble, Quarterback Burson took to the air effectively. His sharp-shooting sparked a 73-yard march, for down was fashioned on a brilliant full length kickoiff return by' Left Halfback Joe Diminick on the.

opening play of the second half, Catching Mitch Smiarowski's high boot over his shoulder at the goal line, Diminick circled into the end zone and began his mad dash after faking a hand off to Maurice Poissant. Ernie Stautner place-kicked the important extra point. The visitors tallied live plays after Boston College quick kicked out of bounds on the Bonaventure 40 late in the same third quarter. A long pass from Chris Scaturo to Lo Vuolp put the Sonnies on the 11 where Dtamuck hauled- down tha receiver who- had outsprinted the B. C.

defender to catch the ball on the 20. After a line play failed to gain and another forward was incomplete, Scaturo again passed to George Hayes who caught it in the midst of two defenders In the end zone. Specialist Prank Ferris rushed in and booted what proved to be the tying point. Oklahoma Top RuggedTexans By 20-14 Score Northwestern's first touchdown. This came -on a one-yard 'sprint around end by Frank Aschenbrenner, Northwestern's halfback.

In the second period, Burson rifled 23-yard-pay-off pass to End Charles Hagmann. A few minutes later he sewed up the game with a nine-yard touchdown shot to Halfback Tom Worthington. The Gophers started as though they were geared to hand the Wildcats a sound trimming. Harry Elliott; a fine punter for Minnesota all day, dumped a kick on Nortliwcst- ern's one yard line -almost before the crowd was seated. Two plays later Worthineton fell on a Northwestern fumble in the end zone for a safety.

Elliott, a few minutes later, booted one out of bounds'-on North-, western's ten. And again the Wild- oats made a costly error. Aschenbrenner fumbled on a fourth down punt try, and the Gophers took over on the Northwestern eight.
