the first strike over the plate Then he dumped a beautiful bunt on the second strike and dashed away to first Billy Johnson who had Just replaced Bobby Brown at third even bother to throw the ball to

in the clubhouse before batting practice Out af Pitchers No miracle but only a timely base bit was needed to rescue tee Phils in the first two games when they lost 1-0 and 2-1 in 10 Innings on home run Now they are fresh out of pitchers like Robin Roberts and Jim Konstanty who can be counted on to chill sluggers like tha Yank Sawyer has no complaints about the excellent jobs of his first two pitcher They contained tee Yankee power bitten like Yogi Berra and Johnny Mize They put the shackles on DiMaggio until he rocketed pitch into tee upper left field seats yesterday afternoon But this is the end of tee line Now tee batters figure to cut loose Lopat a chunky lefthander with a knuckler screwball slider and a little bit of everything except a fast bate may not match Vic Raschl and Allie Reynolds In effectivenes Still in tee vast confines of tee Stadium Lopat can be expected to pitch his usual steady capable game To succeed he must continue to check the righthander power of Del Ennis

24-year-old rookie has been troubled by a tore shoulder In his last two starts he pitched fine ball tee early innings but weakened badly May Shift Lineups Heintzelman a grey-thatched southpaw of 35 year might have the stuff" to fool the free-swinging Yank Ha didn't win a game from May 8 to Sept 15 but hung up 17 victories in 1949 If Heintzelman pitches Manager Casey Stengel probably will shuffle his New York lineup to play Billy Johnson at third base instead of Brown be any worse In the Yankee Stadium" said Sawyer last night our klda will snap out of it We'll play our He allowed tee Phils only two hits the rest of the way one a bunt single by Ashburn In tee eighth The Yanks had Roberts rocking in tee first and broke through to score In the second Coleman walked scooted to third on

Allie's was almost perfect The run they got off him was cheap on that hit that took a bad bounce over head All through the game Allie was giving them everything he had and it appears he had quite a bit to do with the outcome In more ways than his pitching I mean Allie got the hit that led to our first run you remember and he helped himself with a couple of great plays in the field Both were on bunts In the fifth the inning the Phils got their run they might have had more except for co-ordination Roberts bunted a sort of blooper over the mound Allie was charging in with the pitch and he had to reverse himself and leap back to catch the ball Somehow he was able to twist around and get it If missed it would have been a hit because there was no one else near the balL In the eighth of course Allie made the play of the game Ashburn had Just beat out a bunt and then Sisler tried to sacrifice The bunt came back to the mound and with Ashburn running one of the fastest men in baseball most pitchers automatically would have played it safe and thrown to first Reynolds Thinks Fast But Aillie had the guts He By TOMMY HENRICH (CwrliH 1MO kr Xr Yark WarM-Triagimoi NEW YORK Oct If this is the way the World Series is going to be decided on pitching as been so far then I would say continue tox have an edge The Yankees are better fixed for pitchers than the Phils figure to be But things couki change and maybe due for some hitting today On both sides Maybe Joe showed the boys how with that home run yesterday that must have been a drive all right I say have beat" because believe it or not I a it I was at Shibe Park but I turned sissy I got so cold sitting outdoors that I went into the clubhouse as the 10th inning started hoping to get warmed up in there and Just then Joe connected I got warm in a hurry after that Allie Reynolds certainly did a Job he? Here was another game where the pitching was practically everything and for the second straight time we were lucky enough t6 have the pitcher who was Just a little stronger Roberts pitched a beau-tiful game but it quite wheeled and threw to second and telling you he throw any changa of and he got tee force on Ashburn To xna that was the key play of the day If missed have bad two men on base and no out Instead ha wound up eliminating the fast man and leaving a slow runner Sisler on first base Plus one out Another big play was the catch DiMaggio made on Ennis in the sixth This was a long well hit ball that Joe had to chase almost to the wall in right center It was a very tricky ball to catch for a special reason because Joe had to take into consideration tee soft spot in that part of Shibe Park From playing out there know that there la very treacherous spot about four feet square in that part of the outfield deep grass there and soft and it gives as you run into It It has the effect of a hole and all outfielders have had to be careful of It ever since I can recall Caucht on Second Stab Well just as Joe caught up with drive he hit that soft spot and I could see him sort of stagger and make a second grab at tee ball to make sure he would hold it It was quite a play all in alL Not every outfielder would have reached that ball and maybe no one but Joe could have held onto it after landing in teat bad spot was impressed with Robin Robert of course never seen him before except for a couple of innings in the all-star game very cool for a Young pitcher and my guess is his ball is a lot faster than it look He look particularly fast to me but the hitters were popping up and fouling And usually a sign teat tee ball la coming in there quicker than they think it 1 tee Phils go without an assist until tee eighth inning? Roberts had our hitters lifting the ball right along Until Joe lifted one a little too high and far Most of the game though Roberts seemed to have number and he was getting Mize and Yogi out too But at- tee same time Reynolds was stopping their power Sisler Ennis and Jones Tremendous pitching again In other word One last note for today about Bobby Brown good to gee him up there bearing down all the way really battling every pitch It looks as if It takes a World Series to bring out the best in Bobby The mark of a champion I gues U-T Vols Seek Revenge Over Duke at Durham Bob Neyland Sends Squad Through Warmup Drills on Blue Devil Turf Michels Returns By BOB WILSON wi Bwllis Sparta UIM DURHAM Oct 6 Volunteers 48 strong winged their way over the mountains from Knoxville to Durham this morning with a two-fold purpose in mind First they want to defeat the Duke Blue Devils here tomorrow afternoon to avenge RIZZUTO Takes throw forcing Ashburn In the webbing of his glove Umpire Charlie Berry without the slightest hesitation waived the rnnner out and the chattering Fhilly fans hunched up in their topcoats and mumbled about the of the Yankees Reynolds then forced Del Ennis to hit Into the first World Series double play of 1950 That was the play of tbe second game Reynolds gambled and won as the Yankees so often do Two innings later contrast action with the play of Johnson Reynolds pitching cautiously while Eddie Ford and Tom Ferrick warmed up in the bullpen walked Dioft Mayo who led off the tenth as a pinch-hitter lor the luckless Robin Roberts Eddie Waitkus bunted Johnson fielded the roller He had ample time to catch Mayo at second but he played a sure thing He threw out Waitkus at first and let the tying run reach second Reynold whatever he thought of Judgment was equal to the occasion Ashburn popped to Johnny Hopp a weak foul fly And Dick Sisler who seems pre-destined to be the Series goat struck out Sisler clinched the pennant last Sunday with a dramatic home run that vanquished Brooklyn But he struck out Wednesday to end the first game and duplicated the feat In the second game Reynolds pitched Sisler high all afternoon Plate Umpire Bill McGowan after the second game said Sisler swung and missed two high pitches The third strike he said was also a ball but Sisler started to swing tried to check his swing and was called out Sisler insisted he swing at the outside pitch but McGowan said he did and umpires usually win One line describes the pitching of Jim Konstanty and Roberts They pitched great ball but In neither Instance was It good enough Roberts It must be admitted seemed a bit careless In admitting the first Yankee run He had two strikes and no balls on Gerry Cole-nun then walked him with two men out Reynolds drilled a single to right and Coleman scored on Gene Woodlings base hit to deep short Otherwise he had the Yanks popping up all ever the place In fact Roberts had retired 29 men before his supporting Infield had recorded a single assist Joe DiMaggio was and Is the big Yankee Philly fans roared with delight when the methodical glamor man failed to get the ball out of the infield in four trips Roberts gave Joe tight pitches above his belt But the youngster made one mistake It was Just one too many He served a fast ball halfway between the hips and knees Joe swung The ball sailed into the second row of the upper deck of the left-center stands 410 feet from the plate Philly fans gave Joe a round of mild applause but their hearts in it a The Phils It should be recorded for posterity located home plate at 2:37 Eastern Standard Time and you would have thought that the assembled throng of 22600 had Just struck gold Alike Gollat singled Roberts Inept as most big leaguers as a hunter popped one to the pitcher Waitkus hit a sharp grounder to second The bail hit a pebble and bounced three feet over head fly scored Goliat with the tying run Actually Reynolds deserved a shutout Reynolds was magnificent with men on bases and gained new respect for Yogi Berra as the guy who calls the pitches oo Lon Boudreau if you can believe the Cleveland writers has given up on Shortstop Boudreau They say the Indians would have won the pennant second guessers that they are had Boudreau benched himself and Joe Gordon in June was the last to give up on himself one writer explained hated to give up on himself And that attitude created a dilemma He bench Gordon without benching Boudreau So he played Gordon and himself much too long Instead of playing Boone and Avila1 The writers refuse to say yes or no whether Boudreau win be back as manager of the Indians And even they are divided Some would like to see Lou stick around as a bench manager others want a new deal General Manager Hank Greenberg has not tinted his hand but the general feeling is that Hank would like to have a new pilot if the owners would back him up beat the Indians another explained in spring training Lou set up a system of fines Any player who did anything wrong reported late to practice missed a signal loafed and so was fined one dollar Well they kept the system when the season started One dollar for no matter whether the error was important or of no consequence at alL Who cares about a dollar fine? Flayers lost interest and there was too much chummy sentiment on the club" Frankly I place no stock whatsoever in the explanation Cleveland might have won had Boone and Avila operated around the keystone all season Cleveland as it was won 92 games good enough quite often to win the flag In fact in 1950 four dubs including the Indians finished above 600 a feat never before recorded in the 50-year history of the American League Yet the Indians finished fourth Why? Because they whip the St Louis Browns the 21-7 setback handed them by Coach Wallace team in Knoxville last year Second they greatly desire to do It in a convincing manner to redeem themselves for their poor showing in losing to Mississippi State last Saturday This is quite a big order for team that looked as unimpressive asthe Vols did against tee (See COLLEGE' ROUNDUP Page 14) Sizemore will start at the blocking back spot Andy Kozar who rambled for several neat gains against Mississippi State and Dick Ernsber-ger will again share the offensive fullback chores With the exception of sophomore center Gene Moeller the Vols are in top physical shape for the Duke tes: Moeller suffered a broken leg in scrimmage Soph Guards Join Team Maroons And too the Blue Devils happen to be rated as poten- Sophomore John Michaels tially the greatest team that regular offensive guard who guard walk on 9 crepe rubber soles! fit's wonderful) Guaranteed Washable Junior SLACKS for BOYS TIMEOUT By Jeff Keate 9 i Ew flM llipp 412 missed the Maroon game because of an Injured shoulder is ready tor full duty Dan Laughlin reserve sophomore guard who missed last Saturday's game because of a hip Injury la ready for action The Vols were to workout on the Duke gridiron this afternoon Players making the trip were: ENDS: Frank Alexander Bud Sherrod Francis Trubit John Gruble Charles Flora Doug Atkins George Carter Vince Kase-ta and Francis Stupar TACKLES: Capt Jack Stroud Frank Boring Ken Donahue Francis Holohan Rill Peatman Roy Smith Jim Haslam and Andy Myers GUARDS: Ted Daffer Tom Jumper Jim Markeloni John Michael Dan Laughlin Earl Campbell Vernon Lyons and Grady Gentry CENTERS: Bob Davis Bill Jasper Gene Felty and Roger Vest BLOCKING BACKS: Jimmy Hahn Bernie Sizemore Jimmy Hill Joe Maiure Tom Twltty and Harold Johnson TAILBACKS Hank Lauricella Harold Payne Cooper and Fat Shire WINGBACKS: Bert Rechichar Ed Morgan Bud Sherrill and Dave MarklofL FULLBACKS: Andy Kozar Dick Emsberger Basil Drake Gordon Polofsky and Ken Pruett Walland Tops White Pine 33-6 Sprrtal Th WnrMnllMl WALLAND Oct 6 Walland High scored a 33-6 victory over White Pine of Jefferson County here last flight Ernest Meyers led the scoring parade with two touchdown both on passes from Bruce Brochin Mae Whilhoitte and Dobal Wads also scored for Wade has ever fielded at Duke But the Vols perked up a lot in their drills this week indicating that they will be ready to play heads up ball tomorrow Fair Weather Predicted The weatherman has promised fair and warm weather for the game which would assure a fast field for both teams to go all out on the offense Coach Boh Neyland is not exactly bubbling over with optimism over the Vols chances of winning over Duke but he is not as pessimistic as he was before the Mississippi State game At the finish of a long hard drill on Hudson Field in Knoxville yesterday the Vol head man said the team slightly improved1 boys picked up some in the last two days but I am still very doubtful as to whether we are ready for Duke he said Is a question that can be settled only on Saturday he added Neyland noted that improvement was shown on the offense In workout but he is still very doubtful as to the defensive strength He is especially worried about their pass defense a departmentgthat will be tested to the limit bf the accurate pitching of Billy Cox and Glenn Wild It was the dead-eye shots by Cox that paved the way for Duke's win over the Vols in Knoxville last season Same Teams Ts Start With a couple or three exceptions the same offensive and defensive teams that went Into action against Mississippi Stata will open against the Devils Tailbacks Hank Laurlcella Harold Payne and Fat Shires were all in good form in yesterday's rugged offensive drill Morgan the Henderson N- sophomore wingback- who made the reverse go against the Maroons looked Impressive in bis running -Neyland is still undecided whether Jimmy Hahn or Bernie I Fortune made this shoe for you Note the uncluttered toe!
