Jfbemng Is Washington, D. Monday, October 10, in, or Draw By FRANCIS STANN Star Staff Carrtspanaent It Was All Progressively One-Sided NEW YORK, Opt. the late and unlamented World Series progressed, it became more and more evident that anything except a Yankee victory would have been an Upset. For two days the New York Yanks and the Brooklyn Dodgers sparred like a pair of cautious boxers feeling out each other. They exchanged, jabs and each won a round, 1 to 0.

Then the Yanks, after apparently having found out all they needed to know, began to punch. They won the next game, 4-3. Then a 6-4 game. Finally, 10-6. There never was much question about the last three rounds.

President Branch Rickey of the Dodgers last spring called his squad greatest I ever memory must be short. forgotten those old St. Louis Cardinal teams he used to whip up. But possibly it was Brooklyn's best club and if it was a point is proved, to wit: best wasn't nearly good enough for one of the worst. Francii stann.

After the fourth game a voice in the press box said, may as well face it. The National League still has got to catch up with the The voice belonged to an old pitcher in both leagues, Stan Baumgartner, now an able baseball writer for a Philadelphia paper. heart is with the National League. He covers the Philadelphia Phillies, whom he loves dearly. But his mind is opeA.

(of Philadelphia) had much better club than the confessed Baumgartner. the finished fifth in the American League and the Phils placed Cards Are the Best Standard Bearers Maybe that evidence, but a professional opinion, although the American record in World Series and AllStar Game play will stand by itself. After all, one league going to win 29 series and lose only 16, as the American has done, on breaks alone. One other fact rankles the National Leaguers. Unless they have the Cardinals carrying their banner, almost certainly due for a spanking.

Again, look at the records. In the last 23 years the National League has won eight world championships. The Cards won all except two. For some strange chemical reason, the Cards will stand toeto-toe and slug it out. The other National League clubs won't.

This was fifth abortive shot at the title. This was the third straight go at the Yanks and been murder. Score by games: Yanks, 12: Dodgers, 4. Stuff like that you laugh off. all well and good to admire the civic spirit in Flatbush, but now obvious that this truly remarkable spirit spill over onto the field.

Reynolds and Page Were Too Good In this series the Dodgers what might be called a well-managed team, but if Burt Shotton pulled a rock here or there, like leaving his pitchers in the box too long, maybe, in all fairness, he had some excuses. Shotton was second-guessed when he started Don Newcombe after only two days of rest, instead of Rex Barney. Maybe he knows Barney better than anybody else. The young man, who throws the ball faster than almost anybody, seem to have reached the stage where he is series material. He lacks control and yesterday his contribution was a 5-0 deficit before the third inning was ended.

In the first inning alone, 21 of his 37 pitches were balls. The rest of his pitchers, except Newcombe and Preacher Roe, were Just Patsys. Let Rickey boast, but the Brancas and Erskines and Hattens and Palicas and Minners and Bantas are guys you can pick off trees. The whole kit and kaboodle of including Newcombe and Roe, weren't worth Allie Reynolds and Joe Page in this series. The'Dodgers laughed at Yogi Berra before the series.

They were going to steal on Yogi. Peewee Reese did steal in the opener, which may to some extent have inspired Casey Stengel to bench Berra the next day, but Yogi mukt be better thanilie lobks behind that dish. The only game the Yanks lost was the second, which Yogi sat out. The Ghost Wound Up Swinging Maybe just as well for the health of the Brooklyn pitchers that it ended in five games. In the first four, Joe Di Maggio hit the ball hard enough to dot an on the signatures of Will Harridge and Ford Frick.

But yesterday as taken to calling the ailing Di Mag, gave it the old college try. He was reported In Presbyterian Hospital with a 103 temperature right up to the time he took batting practice. Then for the first time in the series, he banged the ball on the nose. He drove across he first run' with a fly that backed Duke Snider to the left-center wall. The healthy Di Mag would have sent it 15 seats high in the stands.

Snider grabbed Di Mag's line drive in the third, leaving the sick guy with one infield hit for the series. But in the fourth, the class showed. For the first time in weeks, he got his bat around and pulled a ball a la the genuine Di Maggio. Home run. Individually and Yanks When this series started the dopesters figured that, position by position, Brooklyn an edge.

This, of course, was based on National League vs. American League averages. Now that over, who outshone whom? Coleman at second base had the edge over Jackie Robinson, of all people. Woodling's last day whipped Olmo and Rackley in left field. Mapes and Bauer staved off Furillo and Hermanski in right, and Bobby Brown on third base shamed his Dodger counterparts with the best batting average of the shindig.

Tommy Henrich rated over Gil Hodges and, finally, wan and weary Di Maggio had it over Snider, for all of the last-day fielding gems. In fact, until Di Mag hit his homer, press wags were ready to call Snider "the Di Maggio of the Joe exactly ruin the Dodgers, but he spoiled a good line. Marshall Protest Rejected by Bell Redskin President George protest about the officiating of Back Judge Claude Grigsby in Redskin-Giant game at Griffith Stadium fell on deaf ears. National League Commissioner Bert Bell, reached on the telephone taken by The Star, said he will continue to assign officials regardless of any club likes or dislikes. Grigsby, a center at Georgetown in 1926 and under Lou Little, called two interference penalties against the Redskins that helped put the home team in bad-holes.

Marshall described Grigsby's work as incompetent although he conceded that it the officiating that beat the Redskins. Bell disagreed, declaring that Grigsby had proved himself a competent official during his three years in the league. He also pointed out that it is difficult to protest anything based I on an i Car Credit Wins Easily, unlimited sandlot football teams broke even on the road yesterday.

Dodgers' Flop Adds Tarnish To NL's Record in Series By Burton Hawkins Star Staff Correspondent NEW YORK. Oct. still the Brooklyn Bums, but much of the endearment which once accompanied the nickname now has been erased.

The 1949 Yankees, probably the gamest, but also the least formidable of New 16 pennantwinning and 12 world championship clubs, disposed of embarrassed Brooklyn. 10-6, yesterday at Ebbets Field to win the World Series and further tarnish the National tobogganing reputation. New five-game conquest of the Bums dealt Brooklyn its fifth failure in as many attempts to capture a World Series and presented the American League a championship for the 11th time in the last 15 years. The Yankees accomplished their trjuniph at a time when their weakened, ailing clean-up Joe Di Maggio, batted with an unneeded last-game home run and a scratch single in the second game his contribution to New attack. pitching, so marvelous In the first two games when Don Newcombe and Preacher Roe shackled the Yankees with an output of one run to split 1-0 decisions, collapsed under a wave of 18 walks in the last three games.

Held Formidable Leads. The Yankees won those games by 4--S. 6-4 and 10-6 margins, but.j reading from left to right, they also owned commanding leads of 4-1, 6-0 and 10-1. It was a dismal ending the Dodgers provided 33,711 fans yesterday. Unable to toss Roe back at the Yankees due to damaged finger, Manager Burt Shotton placed his trust in wild Rex Barney and was regretting It after Barney had pitched to two batters.

Barney walked Phil Rlzzuto and Tommy Henrich to the game and, in trying to pick Rizzuto off second, threw wild into centerfleld, enabling both runners to'advance. Yogi Berra struck out, but Di Maggio's long fly and Bobby single fetched the Yankees a 2-0 lead. Wltyi two out in the third that command mounted to 6-0 when Brown and Cliff Mapes walked and Gene Woodling, Jerry Coleman and Vic Raschi supplied singles. Roy double and Peewee single gave Brooklyn a run in the third, but Di Maggio lofted a home riln into the leftfleld stands off Jack Banta in the fourth and double led to another run in the fifth. Dodvers Make Brave Stand.

A walk to Rlzzuto, single and triple, plus an error by Jackie Robinson, netted the Yankees three runs and a 10-1 lead in the sixth. Brooklyn reduced its deficit with a run in the sixth, when Duke Snider doubled and Gene Hermanski singled, then gave their supporters a stir by scoring four runs in the seventh inning, when Gil Hodges blasted a threerun homer. smash drove Raschi to cover and along came Joe Page to whip a third strike past pinchhitter Luis Olmo. With one out in the eighth pinchhitter Bruce Edwards singled, but Reese hit into a double play. Eddie Miksis opened ninth with a double to give the supporters hope, but Snider and Robinson fanned before Hermanski walked.

In that situation Hodges also struck out and the 1049 World Series belonged to the Yankees. Brown and, Woodling fashioned three hits each to spark New York's 11-hit attack, while Reese, Snider and Hodges collected two hits each for Brooklyn. I Helm Unattractive.

1130 Conn. Ave. N.W. M.WI Giants Outplay Rookie-Packed LineuD: Gilmer Poorly Backed By Lewis F. Atchison Instead of contending for top honors in the National Football League's Eastern Division, the Redskins today found themselves in the unusual and embarrassing position of preparing to fight off a last-place threat as a result of 45-35 loss to the New York Giants at Griffith Stadium.

Ted New York Bulldogs, the transplanted Boston Yankees of a year ago, are the next home foes. in the basement with nary a win in three games, but a victory over the Skins would move them into a fourth-place tie. It could happen because the Bulldogs are not regarded as toothless hounds, despite their record. The Redskins are in a tough spot, what with injuries and one thing or another. Questionable officiating help them yesterday, but a good team blame defeat bn poor work by officials.

They needed linesmen yesterday. John Steber, who could have made a tremendous difference defensively, was on the bench with a cracked cheekbone. Jim Peebles, who could have helped at end or tackle, was not in uniform and that hurt. He has not returned to town after a visit to his wife and new-born daughter, i Sitting on the bench was another fellow by the name of John Sanchez who could have helped. Sanchez drew his walking, papers early last week and was picked up by the Giants, but was' ineligible yesterday because of the 32-player limit.

The Tribe needed him badly, although it was pointed out that teams ran against the Redskins when Sanchez was in the line-up. Redskins Lack Know-how. Coach Billick Whelchel still insists that his rookies need more experience before be able to cope with seasoned pro rivals. His starting line-up yesterday had a half-dozen rookies, including a brand new backfield, and a couple of men who played reserve roles last year. The Giants were no balls of fire, but the Redskins have the power or know-how to cope with them.

In desperation, the coach was obliged to move John Adams into the unfamiliar territory of right tackle, defensively, and big John was the first to concede that he was lost most of the afternoon. Whelchel-has another disturbing problem at quarterback where he knows he needs Sammy experience and coolness under fire, but where he also wants to give Harry Gilmer badly needed experience. He started Gilmer yesterday and the strategy backfired. Fifty-two seconds after the game's start the Giants had a touchdown as the result of Em pass interception and 12-yard run. Gilmer ran into more trouble the next time the Redskins got the ball, Ray Codtes intercepting a pass this time and returning 12 yards to 17.

After the home club got out of this hole, Baugh came in and took the Tribe 80 yards to tie the count at 7-all, pitching 28 yards to Bones Taylor for the score. Pass Record Not Bad. Gilmer came back in the second half and gave thg crowd some thrills by alternating his passes with runs. He even tossed a long one to Taylor, good for 68 yards and a touchdown, that w'ould have put the Tribe ahead by a 28-24 count and changed the game's entire complexion, but it was nullified by a penalty. The Giants got the next touchdown and that was the ball game.

Gilmer tossed a beautiful 47yard scoring pass to Hal Crisler and set up the final score with short pitches to Pete Stout. Rob Goode and Eddie Saenz, but the game was far beyond redemption at that point. In all, the Alabama kid completed nine of his 21 passes for 166 yards, not a bad record. Charley Conerly, the Mississippi traded to New York by the Redskins when they decided to keep Gilmer, sparked the winning attack with 11 completions on 15 throws for 206 yards. He looked good, too, but he should send a note of thanks to the jagged defense for its help.

Claude whistle-blowing hurt Conerly, either. It was a pass-interference call against Howie Livingston on the Redskin 10 that set up the second touchdown. Scott crashed over from the 1. Sammy Baugh second pass to Taylor, good for an over-all gain of 77 yards, matched this and knotted the count again at 14-all. Soon after the start of the second period Sam sent his mates ahead again, this time helping out with a 17-yard run of his own.

Stout went over from 6 inches out, culminating a 54-yard march. Penalty Again Aids Giants. Another penalty for interference, called by Grigsby, helped the Giants even the count. This time New York got the ball on the 23. Chief culprit in this score, however, was Dick Poillon, who let Noah Mullins get away from him to take the pitch in the end zone.

Figuring all the percentages, the Giants called on Ben Agajanian for a 40-yard field goal one second before the end of the half and it was good. That 24-21 half-time lead looked better as the Redskins rallied in the last period and would have been giltedged insurance against a tie had Baugh Co. scored in the last seconds. i The Giants made it 31-21 early in the third period on 35-yard pass to Cletus Fischer (See REDSKINS, Page A-17.)
