THE TIMES-ARGUS BARRE-MONTPELIER VT FRIDAY OCTOBER 9 1959 Two Dodgers World Champs By Walt Alston Is Happy Man By JOE REICHLER hard-bitten critics that he is high- less expected to win We wo By JOE REICHLER hard-bitten critics that he is high less expected to win We won SHS In Good Shape To Play Seahorses Downing White Sox 9-3 20 of our first 22 games and won the pennant by some 134 games I want to take anything away from either of the teams but I think this team has given me a greater kick "After all it expected to win It started off slowly and gradually got better This was a team job pure and As a manager he hit a grand slammer becoming the only one ever to capture the world championship on both coasts Brooklyn and Los Angeles ly capable leader a personal standpoint this would have to be my greatest triumph at least the most he said slowly choosing every word "Winning the World Series with the Dodgers back in 1955 gave me a big thrill At the time it was the greatest After all it was only my second year of managing and it was the first world championship ever won by Brooklyn "But the Dodgers of were a great team They were more or CHICAGO (AP) You could never tell it by the calm manner in which he was accepting congratulations and by the serious almost solemn look on his round face that the happiest man in the Dodgers' dressing room was Walter Alston The World Series success capping their pennant victory was in many ways a personal triumph for this kindly good-natured shy Ohioan who after six seasons of big league managing finally has convinced his Richest Pot Now Being Split Among Players Of Two Clubs ception of Bob Malnati end who suffered a in a leg last Saturday Malnati is anxious to play and though he hasn't been able to drill during the past week it is probable that he will see action against Burlington The deluge of rain during the week has transformed the customarily dusty Auditorium Field into a sloppy mess Perhaps the rain will be just as well as far as the conditions at South Park are concerned It is reported that even the spectators have been leaving the "dust covered from head to foot with dirt Montpelier High players were miserable when they played Burlington earlier this season They were sick from the large amount of dirt they swallowed One reporter found it to be a most difficult task when he covered the game have to wait until the dust clears after each play to find out what he muttered However dirt or not dirt the Crimson Tide is going out to win this one and unless Burlington has perked up from its three losses it will be a 2-2 record for the Tide on Saturday night Solons Host Rice Tomorrow By ROGER LECOURS The Crimson Tide footballers of Spaulding High will be at South Park Saturday afternoon to take on the Burlington High Seahorses Kick-off time is scheduled for 2 pm in this contest which will be fourth of the season The encounter should be a good test to determine whether last 26-7 win over Rice Memorial High of Burlington was just one of those hot" days or if the inexperience has blossomed into sturdy strength The first two games of the season were lost to St Johnsbury Academy (7-0) and Rutland High (26-0) In both initial games the Tide was working against the uncertainty brought on by an inexperienced line and the still unlimbered muscles which the short pre-season period of drilling quite loosen up More over coach Steve Slayton had to experiment with his players to determine where they were better suited and which combinations would work more smoothly During the week prior to the Rice game the coaches and the team merely continued to at over-all improvement Upon the merits of the very decisive 26-7 drubbing which the Tide administered to Rice last Saturday it can definitely be said that the squad is on the way The line came into its own against the Indians with each individual doing his share of the of Burlington would be favored anyhow but they'll go into this contest with something to spare in the favorite's role Aside from packing more weight than Montpelier could possibily match especially In the line Rice will face a team tomorrow that could be forced to call it a season if the injury jinx slack off the Solons After the BFA game the Solons who already had lost the services of a backfield veteran and two of four ends now find themselves without Mike Yates starting fullback who tore muscles in his hip and won't play tomorrow It suffered another back field loss in halfback Benny Brown out with a concussion sustained a few nights ago during a practice session Brown was the top ground gainer for the Solons in the BFA contest Another back Dave Doyle has been out most of the week with an ankle injury Cal Haskell who caught a touchdown pass against Towle returned yesterday after a bout with a virus infection and will see little If any action Johnny Otis a promising end has yet to play his first game since a shoulder injury put him out of action He Will suit up tomorrow but he like Haskell will be used lightly if at all Pete Colby a freshman end is also out with only Johnny Hughes around and able Terry Murray has been moved from a tackle spot to fill the gap at an end position From tackle to tackle the Solons are in pretty good shape with all hands ready to go Bob Edson is ready to go at center Bill Roya Pat Cotey and Peter Joslin at guards Allen Granger and Hughie Jones at the tackles along with George Davis Brookie Heaton and Peter Lav-in will share the quarterbacking duties Bubba Fernandez and Les Pressey at halfbacks and Miles Prentice moves out ot the line to replace the injured Mike Yates Walt Pressey and Dave Doyle if his ankle is ready will also see some action Montpelier High School makes its second football appearance on home soil in a 1 engagement with Rice Memorial High of Burlington tomorrow at Recreation Field Following this contest the third and last home game of the season will be played Saturday Oct 24 when Montpelier is host to St Johnsbury Academy Rice comes into this contest with two victories against one defeat while the Solons have gained one winner and lost twice in the campaign thus far Rice toppled Rutland 18-12 and followed up with a 6-0 victory over MSJ of Rutland to stamp itself as a coming power but last Saturday was upset by a surprising Spaulding team 26-6 Montpelier after losing a 13-12 opener to Towle High of Newport defeated Burlington High 19-13 but as expected bowed to unbeaten BFA of St Albans last week 39-0 On the record the Little hdians CHARLIE GETS BACK TO FIRST Charlie Neal dives back to

Associated Press Sports Writer CHICAGO The Los Angeles Dodgers are the world champions of baseball today They beat the Chicago White Sox 9-3 Thursday in the sixth game of the World Series and they did it in Chicago's Comiskey Park The victory behind right-h a Larry Sherry smashed the hopes of the White Sox which had soared when the Chicago team scored a 1-0 comeback triumph Tuesday in the Los Angeles Coliseum returning the Series to their home ground The Dodgers got rid of the best in the way of pitching the Sox had to offer chasing burly Early Wynn early and sending Dick Donovan off in close pursuit It was only the second world championship in 10 tries for the Dodgers their first since shifting to Los Angeles from Brooklyn two years ago Both championship teams have been managed by Walt Alston who has led the Dodgers to three pennants in his six years This could be the richest of all series when the record $892 36504 player pool is split up A full share should be worth at least $10000 a man to the Dodgers possibly $11000 The Sox should get from $7000 to $7300 each which would be a record for a losing share This Dodger victory making them the first ever to rocket from seventh place one year to the world championship the next is the National fourth in six years over the American The AL still leads in the over all standings however 35-21 The Dodgers whose two defeats were shutouts started rumbling against Wynn in the third in the finale when Duke Snider sent a 400-foot home run into the lower ieft-center-field seats with a man on Wynn the first game winner at 11-0 got as far as the fourth inning in his third start of the series The big right-hander showed quick signs of wildness He gave way when Dodger southpaw Johnny Podres walloped an RBI double to center That brought in right hander Donovan whose brilliant relief performance in Los Angeles had saved the fifth game for the Sox This time he gave up a walk to Junior Gilliam a two-run double by Charlie Neal and a two-run homer by Wally Moon That made it a six-run inning the largest ever in a series and led to a string of six Sox pitchers No 5 was Billy Pierce the experienced little southpaw There is no doubting the big man of the series At 24 Sherry proved a cool careful right-handed reliever He was in on each of the four victories In all he worked 12 2-3 innings in the four games giving up eight hits and just one run while walking but two and striking out five in the series first ever without a complete game pitcher on either club The Sox a tight defensive club that made the most of its opportunities to win its first pennant in 40 years were unsettled by the Coliseum where the white-shirted three-game crowd of 277550 provided a poor background for fielders and hitters alike But Manager A1 Lopez figured the best way to say what beat his Sox was and Neal They were the Neal the thin thumper who plays second base led both clubs with 10 hits and batted 370 He won the second game

the summation of the two dressing rooms Thursday after the Los Angeles Dodgers had defeated the Chicago White Sox 9-3 to take the 1959 World Series four games to two Dodger utility man Don Zimmer shouted "so the Coliseum got in reference to White Sox remarks of having to play in a makeshift park in Los Angeles But the White Sox weren't taking him up on it For them the long tense season was over and I they were looking for a rest I White Sox and major league officials pushed their way into the Dodger dressing room to offer congratulations to Manager Wait Alston And Alston was smiling from ear to ear "This victory seems bigger to me right now than the 1955 championship over New York in seven said Alston was a better team effort It was the hardest working team ever had I can't single out any player as our key man But say never seen a kid so young or so good as Larry Sherry the 24-year-old relief ace was swarmed under by well-wisher and newsmen "I had good luck they were

Hurley said: "We beat those White Sox at their own game We outran them and Lord knows we sure outhit them We were very satisfactory We just played After shaking off the effects of having lost the White Sox settled down and went about their business of getting home for the winter Manager Al Lopez called the loss "one of those things We lost the ones we should have won This one we were never in
