Av. F. I i I 1 J.7.; ell I I :10 I Brilliant Duel Before 33,100 Broken Up When Line Drive Disables Fitzsimmons; Casey Tagged for Both Tallies in Eighth' By MARTIN J. HALEY, Globe-Democrat Sports Editor. BROOKLYN, N.

October Series baseball came back to Brooklyn for the first time in 21 today, and the occasion was ushered in under beautiful weather Dodger fans were gloomy- tonight for their beloved Bums were shaded, 2 to 1, by the New York Yankees, who thus again marched into the lead for the championship, this time two games to one It was a sad day generally for the Dodgers, who not only dropped another close contest, but who were deprived of the services of two of their standout stars, Pitcher Fred Fitzsimmons and Second Baseman Billy Herman. Herman had to leave the game in the fifth inning with a back injury he suffered during- the pregame batting practice, and Fitzsimmons was forced out as the New York seventh round ended when he was struck a terrific blow on the left knee by a hot line drive from the bat of the Yankee southpaw hurler, Marius Ile) Russo Up to that p9int before the 33,100 thrilled fans, Fitzsimmons, heroically pitching off one bad spot after another, had held Russo in a brilliant scoreless mound duel. The portly Fitz, 40 years old and in his twenty-second year of professional baseball, had yielded but four hits, and Russo only one scratch single up to that stage of the bitter ball game. With Fitzsimmons' departure went the ball game, as the Yankees quickly climbed on Brooklyn's relief hurler, Hugh Casey, for four consecutive mingles and two runs in the eighth inning. ONE SHORT 1 That sharp assault drove Casey to cover, and, although Southpaw 'Larry French and Right Kander Johnny Allen held the Yanks hitless from there on, the Dodgers could comb Russo for only one run, this also being posted in the eighth chapter.

The accident to Fitzsimmons came on one of the most extraordinary plays ever to arise in a world series. Joe Gordon, who had just reached base for the tenth time in 11 chances since the series started last Wednesday at the Yankee Stadium, was on second with two down, as the result of a pass and an infield out. Fitz worked carefully on Russo, and then the latter unleashed the drive, which struck Fitzsimmons' knee, bounced 40 feet or so into the air and was caught by Shortstop Peewee Reese near second base. Gordon raced to third, but the inning was over, as the ball had not touched the ground and therefore was ruled as a putout for Reese and as an assist for Fitzsimmons. The Brooklyn seventh inning was a lengthy one, as Pete Reiser, the St.

Louis boy and National League batting champion, opened it with his first hit of the' series, a screaming double against the wall in right center. He was the first Dodger to reach second base against Russo, and as the game was in a runless deadlock at the time Russo took his time pitching to the Dodger batters, trying to give them nothing good to hit. nothing good to hit.

I i Rally Puts Bears to Rout, 19-16 MacPhall Wild Oyer Choice of Casey for Relief GRID SCORES TREATMENT IN VAIN Russo succeeded, too, and while he kept the scoreboard unmarked by a run the Brooklyn trainer worked frantically on Fitzsimmons' knee in the Dodger dugout. The treatment.

however, was in vain, and as the Yanks came in for their eighth inning, Fitzsimmons left the bench for the clubhouse. He was later removed to a hospital for X-rays to determine whether any bone injury was involved. In the victorious assault against Casey with one out in the eighth, four Yankee veterans, Red Rolfe, Tommy Henrich, Joe Di Maggio and Charley Keller, all lashed out singles, Henrich's being an infield hit. In all, the Yanks gathered eight safeties, two by Rolfe and two by Di Maggio, who had been held hitless in seven times at Dodger flingers in the first two games. Di Maggio's second single drove in the first run of today's battle, and Keller's blow hammered across what proved to be the deciding marker.

A two-bagger at the start of the Brooklyn eighth by Fred 'Dixie" Walker, his first hit of the series, and a single by Reese after two out, produced Brooklyn's only run. Four hits constituted the damage against Russo. and if the Dodger fans are looking for consolation, they can point to the fact that it took a Brooklyn boy to beat their team, as Russo, a slim left-bander, 6 feet 1 inch tall, was born in Brooklyn July 19, 1914. SIXTH DOUBLE PLAY So puzzling was the mixture Russo used to mow down the Dodgers that only two men, Reiser and Walker, got to second base. Thesolitary hit Brooklyn accomplished in the first six innings was a little slow roller by Joe Medwick in the fourth.

Russo walked but two men, but had great control after the second inning, in which the Yanks executed their sixth double play of the series. Five strikeouts were registered by the southpaw, who did a marvelous job, particularly in view of the fact that he has been suffering from a stomach disorder. It was the first errorless game of the series, and, although there were rumors that the players werenursing grudges and were about to get rough, the game was cleanly played, just one little brief spat occurring between Dolph Catnilli and Hem-Itch. They, however, only lost their tempers momentarily, and it was over as quickly as it started. During the early innings a spectator identified as Thomas Daley LOCAL Washindon 6.

By GRAN'rLAND RICE. Written for the Globe-Democrat and North American Newspaper Alliance. BROOKLYN, N. October 4.L-- A young lefthander by the name of Marius tlgo Russo strolled over from his home at Ozone Park, tio Island, to win the third worlCseries game by the deadly combination of arm and bat and a miracle. The 27-year-old Yankee southpaw beat the Dodgers, 2 to 1, in the melancholy presence of 33,100 Brooklyn fans in one of the oddest championship games ever played.

Russo, using flashing speed and a dazzling curve-ball, not only held the handctiffed Dodgers to four hits, but he practically broke up the game with two out in the seventh inning when he hammered a low line drive through the box that came near removing Freddy Fitzsimmons' left knee. This was the most poisonous single punch ever delivered in one of the big October shows. For it removed the game and gallant Fitzsimmons from the scene at the height of a magnificent performance, one of the great-' est of his long career. For six and two-thirds innings old Fitz, 40 trears old, working in his twenty-second season, had matched Russo's ableperformance with a shutout. AGE THROWN OFF Fitz had thrown off the burden of middle-age as he mowed the Yankees down, inning by inning, to keep even pace with Russo's younger arm.

But the cyanide cup was banded to Fitz in the fatal seventh. There were two out, with the irkepreuible Joe Gordon on second base.

BROOKLYN. N. October Larry Mac Phan, the man of a few thousand words, used. every one of them at-least once today to any what he thought of Manager Leo Durocher's choice of Hugh Casey as relief pitcher for the Dodgers in the third world series same with thi Yankees. Although he didn't tree Durocher for several hours after the game, the red-headed president of the National League champions told everyone else willing to listen that he regarded the choice of Casey as stupid, largely because he believed the tobacco-chewing right-hander "was not warmed up properly." Casey was sent in to the game in -the eighth inning, after Freddy Fitzsimmons was injured, and promptly gave up the four straight hits which gave the Yanks the game, 2 to 1.

Casey's fielding lapse, in failing to cover first base on a play, was responsible for at least one of the tallies. "Casey didn't throw one hard ball all the time he was warming Mac Phial charged- 'Sure, he was lobbing them in for several Innings, but he didn't bear down at all. McGrew (Dodger Scout Ted McGrew) and I were sitting in my box watching him, and we nearly fell off our chairs when the bench called him in. 'What could those guys be thinking about on the bench.
