I960 ports Today omJbecl I Ag 4 'LciL i Yanks Keep Up Rout, 10-0 Murtaugh and friends out of the premises but practically blasted them out of this World Series. That the score was 10-0 behind Whitey Ford's strong four-hitter was bad enough. That the victory boosted New York to a 2-1 advantage with two more games on tap here Sunday and Monday didn't help either. But even more humiliating for the National League champions was the way that the Yanks continued their outrageous assault on Murtaugh's pitching corps.

After the first four innings New York had scored all 10 runs on 14 hits, including siziling Mickey Mantle'8 third home run in the last two games. It leaves him only one shy of Babe Ruth's Series record of 15. But Mickey's 425-foot blast with Ford aboard in the fourth was just bitter frosting on Murtaugh's unpalatable birthday cake. Li'l Bobby Richardson hrd squashed it in the opening inning. He's a lightweight at 165 pounds and 5-9.

In his major league career covering 470 games with the Yankees, he has hit only three home runs. One came this year way back on April 30 against BY LYALL SMITH rrt Prat nrti Idltar NEW YORK They tossed a little party for Pittsburgh Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh here Saturday on his 43rd birthday. Danny was ready to call the whole thing off before all of the 70,001 paying guests had sauntered into Yankee Stadium. After the first 15 minutes he must have aged plenty. Instead of gifts, he got headaches.

And Bobby Richardson was a little embarrassed bv it all. "I wasn't trying to hit a home run," said Richardson.

whoe grand slam in the first inning scuttled the Pittsburgh Pirates. "I was just trying to meet, the ba-U trying not to hit into a double play. I had fouled off the first pitch and then got the signal for a bunt to try and squeeze in a run. "That didn't work. Then, on the 3-and-2 pitch, I swung and connected.

"I THOUGHT I the ball pretty good but when I got to first base I saw the Wtfielder moving in and I thought he haid caught it. Then I saw the umpire wave nie around." "I was a little embarrassed when I went out to second after the inning. I had hit only three major league home runs in four years tun In 1TI.V) and one this year. I netcr hit a grand-slam In my life." Richardson failed to add that his RBI total of six-a Series record--was exartly double the Turn to Page 4, Column 7 of the Orioles. lie hit two last season off Tiger Paul Foytack.

But for such a small guy with the wallop of a niosquitn, Li'l Bobby smashed his way into baseball's all-time record book with the biggest one-day show in Series history. HE STF.PrFH to bat his first time to find the bases jammed. Southpaw Vinegar Bend Mizell already had been driven to cover. Catcher Elston Howard had just beat out an infield hit to push the score to 2-0 off righthander Clem Labine. Bobby worked the count to Ilo frmliwl off lun morn pitches and then MepM'd Into a La bine sinker hall and belted it deep into the leftfield seats for a grand-slam homer.

He didn't rest. Up again in the fourth with the bases again loaded, he belted a strong single to left, seoring two more run- ners and boosting his day's production to six RBIs. NO SLl'GGING musrleman, not even Ruth, ever wreaked such destruction in one series game. Richardson did it. It was that kind of a day.

The Yankees wound up with 16 hits off five Pirate pitchers as they took up right where they left off when Ihey dropped bombs on Pittsburgh last Thursday in the 16-3 debacle. They now hae scored 30 runs in three games and hrtitoed Pittsburgh's pitchers so badly that their hit-production stands at 4M. They will come out swinging again Sunday against Vernon I Law, the Bucs' lone winner. Opposing him will he Ralph i Terry, also a righthander, mak- ing his first Series start.

The quick Michigan sophomore slashed for 114 yards and two touchdowns and must have left the visiting Blue Devils of Duke wondering what they were missing. Raimey was released upon the Southerners mainly because starter Bernie McRae couldn't play on a bad ankle.

Absent also with a sore hip was fullback Ken Tureaud. So Michigan merely trampled i the Devils. 31-6, in a runaway I that built up momentum as it went along to the delight of 77,183 fans.

Michigan State's was broken here Saturday when Iowa stormed to a 27-15 victory in the last three minutes of a furious Big Ten football battle. The loss virtually eliminated the Spartans from the conference race on their first defeat of the season and boosted the Hawkeyes into the driver's seat. With only 4:49 to go, spirited Michigan State was leading by one point and 74,943 fans were 1 an uproar over a gallant second half comeback which wiped out Iowa's two -touchdown margin. THEN JOE Williams, stubby Iowa fullback, stole the ball out of quarterback Tom Wilson's hands and raced 67 yards for a Hawkeye touchdown. Seldom has a game changed so completely in the length of time it took the Hawks "Flying Fireplug" to reach the end zone.

State's 15-14 lead suddenly wan a CO -15 deficit and before It wa over, the Hawk-eyes Intercepted a pass and scored again to preserve their perfect record with victory No. S. The turning point was as dramatic as any ever witnessed on a football field. MSU coach Duffy Daugherty called it such a freak that it wouldn't happen again in 25 years. VVTLSOX, who was superb In directing the Spartans to their second half touchdowns on tima-killing marches of 83 and 88 yarda, was trying to control the ball the rest of the way if he could.

On a belly series play which had been working well after the intermission, he faked to another back and pulled the ball away. Williams, who only a minute before had fumbled to stall an Iowa drive, came roaring In from an angle and neatly lifted the ball out of the startled Wilson's hands.

Column 1 CHAMPAIGN, 111. iff Ohio State's undefeated Buckeyes, sparked by a 100-yard kickoff return by Bill Wentz and the excellent quarterbacking of Tom Matte, crushed Illinois, 34-7, Saturday in a Big Ten battle of national football powers. An Illinois homecoming crowd of 71,119 sat quietly through the first half and watched fullback Bob Ferguson pound out a 13-0 Ohio State lead. Then the fans gave up all hope when Wentz took the opening kickoff of the second half and went all the way for a touchdown. IT WAS the third consecutive victory for Ohio State, the nation's fifth-ranked team in the AP weekly poll, while Illinois rated No.

a DESPITE the Buckeye show of offense, Ohfb State's forte was an unyielding defense. Illinois could get no deeper than the OSU 40 in the first half. When the Mini trailing by four touchdowns made a scoring bid in the fourth period, the Buckeye forward wall stiffened and stopped them on the one-yard line. Illinois finally crashed through on a three-yard plunge by Jim Brown late In the fourth period. The Illinl, suffering their first homecoming defeat in five years, played indifferent football.

Johnny Easterbrook, Illinois' diminutive quarterback who plays hot and cold, was unable to move his club against the Buckeye brigade. Illinois' touted tackles. Cliff Roberts and Joe Rutgens, were no match for the Buckeye line, bolstered by the tremendous play of guard Mike Ingram and end Sam Tidmore, who kept Easterbrook off balance all day. Oino STATE showed its superiority at the outset. The first time the Buckeyes got the ball they marched from their 25 to the Illini 15 only to fumble away their first scoring chance.

YANKEES, NOT SHEEP, are what.Pirate pitchers are counting in their nightmares these days. And the nightmares have been coming up in the early afternoon. Another battalion of Yanks crossed the plate above, following Bobby Richardson's grand-slam home run. From left it's Gil McDougald, the batboy (he didn't score); Richardson (with head down and shaking hands with Tony Kubek, the next batter) Elston Howard and Bill Skowron. The Yankees have poured over 30 runs in three games, 26 in the last two.
