rilTMiUK.H I'OM'-KAZEi'J'Ei HIIUAY, OCTOBER 7, 1966- Orioles Win, 6 to 0, on 6 Dodger Errors Sidelights on Sports By Ah ABKAMS, Sport Editor -20 i The ay of All llesh I. OS ANGELES, Oct. 6 Step right up ladies and and take your choice. Was it the plate of a dazzling California sun? Was it a pang; of bumbling, fumbling- Los Angeles Dodgers? Was it the pitching of a precocious 20- ftetv; '1 year-old youngster named Jim Talmer? Any one of the three, or all of them, if you insist, contrived this hot, sunny afternoon at Chavez Ravine into reducing Sandy Koufax into a mere mortal instead of a super-pitcher, probably one of the greatest of all time. Whichever way you take 'em, they enabled the underrated Baltimore Orioles to whip Koufax and the Los Angeles 1 Abrams A I Dodgers, 6 to 0, for their second straight World Series victory.

The Dodgers' defenses crumbled so badly today that a record-tying six errors for one Series game went on the scoreboard. Three of these mis-cues were credited to one man, Willie Davis, in a single inning, to put his name in the record books.

O's Palmer Has His Own Way Four Pancakes, Hubble (flint, Two Pilches Fijiial Win LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6 (AP) Jim Palmer, Baltimore's young right-hander, came to in the ninth. Koufax, as expected, went Koufax whiffed only two out easily, on a pop to Dave wild throw in the fateful fifth-inning which led to the Orioles' first three runs and sent a disgusted Koufax on his way to defeat.

The more charitable in the crowd of 55,947, and they were in the minority, blamed a blinding sun for Willie's miscues. Those who didn't agree, pointed out the same sun was shining down on the Orioles, too. Other errors were made by Jim Gilliam, Ron Fairly and Ron Perranoski. There was another "Sun Play" in which W. Davis and Fairly permitted Frank Robinson's catchable fly ball in the sixth to drop between them for a triple.

Palmer in Complete Control Until the sun began to hurt the Dodgers' eyes in the fifth, Koufax was locked in a scoreless duel with Palmer. The dandy southpaw figured to be the Dodgers' equalizer today and rightly so. He had 22 consecutive scoreless innings in Scries action to his credit before the sun shot its deadly rays in W. Davis' direction. He might have gone on to pitch shutout ball, who knows? Three errors In one inning set a World Series record.

It's a record in Willlamsport, too. That's the headquarters of Little League baseball. Luis Aparicio's line double down the third base line scored Joluison. From then on, Tt was a comedy of boots and misses for the Dodgers. i inmii'iiny i immune mmmi 1 i 1 lsfi ot wr.

What we do know is that the 20-year-old Palmer (he will be 21 on Oct. 15) did pitch a shutout, permitting the weak-hitting Dodgers four widely scattered hits. On top of their three hits the day before, the anemic Los Angelino bats have now accounted for seven bingles and just two runs. The youthful Palmer was in supreme command.

His blazing fast ball and the few curves and changcups he threw were a complete mystery to the Dodgers. They had him in trouble only once, in the second inning when a walk, Lou Johnson's short double to right and an intentional walk filled the bases. Young Jim got out of the jam by getting Koufax to pop out. Palmer, historians tell us, became the youngest pitcher in Series history to pitch a shutout. Before him, Waite Hoyt turned the trick at age 22.

There's a Difference This 1966 fall tournament now moves to Baltimore, where it will be resumed Saturday. Baseball men are seeing a parallel between this Scries and that of last year when the Dodgers lost the first two games to the Minnesota Twins then came back to win the title. They point out, too. that the Twins beat the Dodgers' best, Don Drysdale and Koufax, only in reverse order. There's a difference, however.

The Twins accomplished the trick on their home grounds and when play shifted to Los Angeles, the Dodgers came back to win the next three. This year the Orioles racked up the Los Angelinos at Chavez Ravine and now have the advantage of playing the next three in their own ball yard. Potpourri Jim Pagliaroni and Harry Walker were in a huddle in one of the field boxes before the game. The six umpires are being paid $14,000 each to work the Series. They also get $100 for incidentals, plus $30 a day for expenses.

"I didn't have to," the Dodger manager said. "I knew what happened out there." After the carnage, Koufax put his arm around Davis as the pair headed to the club house between innings and said, "Don't let it get you down.

Those things happen." But Baltimore Manager Hank Bauer tapped him for a starter's role, and he responded by becoming the Orioles' biggest winner, with 15 victories. And he kept eating pancakes because "I didn't want to find out if they had any bearing on how I was doing. The bubble gum is just a little superstition." Despite following the pancake-bubble gum routine, Palmer said he was not even at the prospect of pitch- Bird's Manager Hank Bauer said he "felt sorry for Davis." The remorseful Davis said "I "i know what it is to olav in a cot a auick peek at the ball the sun field," Bauer said. "The second time and made a stab guy must feel just terrible." at it.
