Baltimore Orioles confidently third game and Dave McNally predicted a World Series victory the fourth. Thursday after whipping the "How about the fifth?" some-fumbling Los Angeles Dodgers one asked. 6-0 to take a 2-0 lead.

I "I haven't thought that far fore the end of the Dodgers longest day. Many of the 55,947 fans began walking out in the late innings. Almost overlooked in this horrendous collapse of the defense-minded Dodgers was the four-hit job done by young Palmer, who is only 20 years old. He won't be 21 until Oct. 15.

The youngest pitcher to pitch a Series shutout was Waite Hoyt, who was 22 years and one month when he blanked the 1921 New York Giants for the New York Yankees. In fact, the youngest ever to work a complete Series game was Bullet Joe Bush, who was "When a fly ball gets in the sun, there's nothing you can do about it but hope it falls in the glove," Blair said. "It was brutal out there," said Oriole first baseman Boog Powell. "I was hoping I wouldn't get any fly balls." Pitcher Jim Palmer, who "No, we're not coming Bauer replied While happy over their victo Here next week," coach Billy Hunter said. "I said before the ry, the Orioles showed compassion for Willie Davis and his unfortunate showing in the out hurled the pennant clincher for field.

This park is worse than most on SePl- Wanked the Dodgers on four hits as he others," said Baltimore center fielder Paul Blair, who had no trouble catching fly balls. "The screen in back of home plate gives off a funny kind of again used his new pitch, the slider, to keep the batters off balance. Palmer didn't throw the slider 20 years, 11 months when he did it for the Philadelphia A's against the Giants in 1913. Wli I gold glare, and it's hard to pick game competition until the Sept. 22 contest.

Already, pitch While the Dodgers staggered Series started that we'd only make one trip to Los Angeles, and that we'd win in five games. "But now, I don't know who's going to win one for them." The Orioles got past Los Angeles pitching ace Sandy Koufax who was expected to offer their toughest opposition with the aid of six errors by the Dodgers. Center fielder Willie Davis made three of the errors in the fifth inning, two on one play, as Baltimore scored three unearned runs to break the scoreless deadlock. Davis and right fielder Ron Fairly also let a fly ball drop between them for a around under fly balls in the bright sunshine or threw the ball against the stands or into You had to see this fifth inning to believe it, and it still is hard to believe. It started out calmly enough with a single to left by Boog Powell, only the second hit off Koufax.

Brooks Robinson fouled out. Then it happened. Paul Blair lofted a high fly to center which Davis seemed to lose in the sun. At the last minute, he grabbed for the ball around his knees, but it fell out of his glove for a two4)ase error. Andy Etchebarren, the next batter, looked at a ball and missed two strikes before he, too, hit a ball into short left center.

In came Willie, but once more he lost the ball for an error. Davis compounded the goof by throwing the ball wild over third base, and Blair followed Powell across the plate. It was the first time in the long history of World Series play that any one player had made three errors in the same inning. In fact, the record for a game is three, a mark which several admit with hanging heads. Luis Aparicio's double to left knocked in Etchebarren with the third run of the fifth and it was all over but the booing.

A storm of catcalls greeted Davis as he came into the dugout. When he went back out to center field and tossed the ball the dugout, the baseball writers ing coach Harry, Brecheen is convinced it will make the 20-year-old right-hander a better pitcher. Rookie catcher Any Etchebar-ren estimated that of Palmer's 115 pitches, about 100 were fast World Series facts, figures were busy digging through the record books.

"I hate to win a game that way," Miller said, "but we'll take them any way we can get them. I'd rather just go out and beat them ourselves." Outfielder Curt Blefary said, "We have a great chance to wrap it up in Baltimore now, and I hope we do." "This club is some kind of spirited," Blefary said, "And it's going to stay up." Infielder Bob Johnson noted that Lou Johnson of Los Angeles walked with his head down after making an out and almost delayed the game getting off the field. "That exemplifies their spirit," the Oriole reserve said.
