Sports Editor BOSTON Two great right handers fought their hearts out here Wednesday in the chilly opening of the 10 IS world series and it was a shame that either had to lose the fierce pitching duel Triumphant was towering John Sain of the Bostoon Braves who cashed in a four-hitter against Cleveland 1-to-o when Tommy Holmes drove home the only run in the eighth inning Defeated was Bob Keller whose blinding speed held tbe Braves to two hits Feller became the 10th pitcher to spin a two-hit job' In world series competition and like the last Mort Cooper on Oct 4 1941 Feller lost Thus those amazing Braves who parlavert great pitching bv Sain and Warren Spahn into the Nation league pennant had accomplished the impossible again Now they are one up on the heavilv faored Indians and Manager Billy Southworth will come back today with Spahn probably be opposed by Bob Lemon Suspense kept the 40133 fans on edge tor the hour and 43 minutes required to settle the issue Four times before the Braves dented brilliant delivery the fans shuddereef as Cleveland got a runner to second In the ninth they experienced the toughest suspense of all because Bobby two-base error gave the Indians a chance to tie The two great halhlubs kept sparring like dev er boxers parrying blows and waiting for an opening It came suddenly the Braves in the eighth when Feller issued the most costly free pass he ever punched for an opposing batsman It went to Bill Salkeld who had craftily woiked the count to three and two Southworth dealt himself in on this bid for vctory He sent the fleeter Phil Masi to run for Salkeld Mike McCormick sacrificed the hall shooting down the first base line where the eager Feller fielded it and tagged Mike The fans booed as the Indians decided to walk Eddie Stanky a pesky guy at the plate Some of the boys were giving Boudreau the razz on the free tickey to Stanky They pointed out that Sain is a pretty good hitter and that failing in a doubleplay the Indians ere leaving themselves open to face Holmes a left-handed hitter Again Southworth dealt a winning card sending Sibby Sisti in to run for Stanky Sain is a good hitter in his own right but Feller was too swift for him and John flew out to Walt Judnich in right Feller needed only one out to escape Manager Iou Boudreau protested brieflv when he thought Feller had picked Ma-i off second Holmes been trying to hit outside pitches to left fouled one down the line The wind brought cry of encouragement on to the pressbox Feller was giing everything that he had hut for once it enough Holmes lashed the hall into left field and Masi took off He rounded third like Citation heading down the stretch Sisti waited just beyond second until Dale Mitt hell started his futile peg to home Then Sibby went on to third and Holmes came charging down to second The Braves had blood They wanted moie i ms but Feller was only jarred not ilatuncd He forced Alvin Dark to hit one into the ground and Ken Keltner threw him out Tin' I'iaves were ahead but trying moments ei still to be endured The lug three of Cleveland's batting order a was coming up This was the te-t and Sam was equal to it Boudieau took a mighty
