And what's more, we would like to make it clear to all concerned that, although the appellation "bumns" might be a little strong, there doesn't seem to be any doubt that they were defeated by a vastly superior team. Mickey Owen dropped the third strike with two out In the ninth in- ning of the fourth game and the Yankees went on to win. Valiant Hugh Casey folded like a broken accordionN and it was all over in short order. "Fluke," cried Dodger fans (real and synthetic) the country over."'The Yankees get all the breaks; you can't beat luck like that . . ." And so on, ad infinitum. Granted that, had Owen held onto the ball, the series would have been tied up and the idols of Flat- bush would have been very much back in the running. But the fact remains that he didn't hold onto the ball and that, bromidic as it may sound, the game still isn't over until the last man is out. That error, or wild pitch (there is some argument over just which it was), was just as much a part of the ball game as Pete Reiser's home run.' Henrich would have averted a lot of heated discussion if he hadn't swung at the ball. It would have been called a ball, Tommy would have reached first and the outcome of the game probably wouldn't have been changed a bit. But Tommy had his ripple at the ball and so the Yanks were branded as lucky. Too many people who/ follow baseball in a half-hearted sort of way fail to make any distinction between luck and the breaks of the game. When an easy ground ball hits a pebble and bounces over the shortstop's bgead, that's luck. When a player makes an error, that's baseball. An irate Dodger fan, during one of the many post-game arguments we engaged in after Sunday's debacle, shouted very coarsely in our direc- tion, "Oh, -yeah, I'd like to see you now if Dickey had been the one that dropped the ball. You'd still be cry- ing." We have what we think is a y pretty good answer for that one. Anone who kuows us knows that we pink the Detroit Tigers 6are the greatest ball team that ever took the field. We are defnitely Tiger fans. And yet, a year ago, we didn't call the Cilcinnati Reds lucky when Dick Bartell held the ball while Frank McICormick crossed the plate with the run that cost the Bengals the world's championship. Rowdy Richard could ,easily have thrown to the plate in time to flag the big Red first sacker. But he didn't make the toss. It was a lapse on his part or, perhaps, on the part of Charley Gehringer for not telling Dick that he had time to nail McCormick. « But, whoever was at fault, the Reds weren't lucky. They capital- ____ - - il ized on a break, something that all championship teams have to do. The Yanks got a break when Owen missed the third strike and they worked it for everything they could get out of it. What they got was their fifth world's title in six years and they richly deserved it. They were the better team. And just so that no one can say we didn't investigate all the angles of the Flatbush situation, let's look at it this way. Suppose, just for argu- nents sake you understand, we grant that the Dodgers had tough luck. So what. There was no luckier team in baseball than the Brooks during the t9gular season. They went through the National League campaign without a single serious injury. Their closest rivals for the flag, the Cardinals (who were really the class of the league as far as player- ability is concerned, not to mention having most of the fight that the Dodgers are generally credited with), had three outfielders on the sick list at the same time for a while. We're glad the Yankees won. We thught they would win before the Series started and we think they had an infinitely better team than the Brooklyns. Hurray for the New York Yankees, the greatest team in base- ball history. Otto, show them bums the door. For Defense- /S punk, Nerve, Fighting Heart By STAN CLAMAGE A "MUST" FOR DEFENSE. This is a story which is best ex- emplified by an actual experience. Any similarity to persons now living is highly commendable. Three years ago the high school coaches in the Detroit Metropolitan League were astounded by the pres-' ence of a short stubby end on the starting team of one of the top three squads in the West Side. It is doubt- ful that he stood. over five and one- half feet-even with shoes on. This kid had more spunk, nerve and a fighting heart than any foot- ball player one could imagine. And he wasn't ridiculous in his deter- mination. He had it and he gave his all during every second that he was on the gridiron. His coach knew what he wanted from an end and couldn't find it in what the big boys had to offer. But there was this small kid, playing in the backfield on one of the "cannon fodder" squads. And he was willing to try. He wanted to play football. The coach wanted his ends to pile- drive into any interference that came any way near him. Theory: rid the back of his interferene before he gets a chance to open up, and the rest for the defense should be rela- tively easy. And, sure enough, so it came to pass. At the snap of the ball, around came the interference, and there was this midget end wait- ing. Every time, he piled into that mass of obstruction with reckless abandon. And he made many more than his share of tackles. Ask any of the opposition. The team had one of their better years that season. But had the coach another end like shorty, what a year that would have been! This brings us to the 1941 Michi- gan Wolverine football team. With the center of the line apparently well intact, and with good fast defensive back, a little of this "kid" style of playmight relieve the tension around the flankers. And, then a still great- er Michigan year. No small stuff, this little mite. (Continued from Page 1) on Gordon, Wyatt sailed a wild pitch high over Owen's outstretched glove and Keller loped home while Dickey ran to second. Gordon came through, then, with a scorching single off sec- ond baseman Pete Coscarart's glove and,; as the ball rolled on out into rightfield, Dickey scored. This was all the margin that Bon- ham needed, but Henrich hammered a home run over the 40-foot fence in rightfield on the first pitch given him in the fifth inning. That was just for good measure and afterward the Yanks never bothered Wyatt- except with their continuous bench jockeying. Watt Hits Double Wyatt himself set off the rally that brought Brooklyn its only run in the third inning. He opened with a hard double into the leftfield cor- ner. After Dixie Walker had flied out, Lew Riggs blasted a low liner that struck Bonham on the right leg below the knee and caromed toward the third base line for a single putting Wyatt on third. The pitcher raced home a few minutes later after Pete Reiser had flied to right. Except for a tremendous triple by Reiser after two wereout in the first inning, this was the only real threat the Dodgers made all after- noon. Bonham fanned Dolph Camilli to end Brooklyn's rally in toe third and he didn't give another dit until the eighth when Walker wafted a single into right. This time he made Riggs pop to first baseman Johnny Sturm and struck out Reiser. Bonham's First Start It was the first appearance the 220-pound righthander called "Tiny" ever had made in the World Series and he matched the four-hit hurling of his teammate, lefty Marius Russo, for the best pitched game of the 1941 classic. Wyatt gave six hits, three less than he allowed in winning last Thursday and once over his early wildness he was as hot as the weather, which had many fans sit- ting peeled to their undershirts for the third straight day. He struck out nirfe men, including ERNIE BONHAM Bonham on every one of the four times he came to bat, and DiMaggio the first two times that he came to the plate. The, Dodgers used a pinchhitter, Augie Galan, for Coscarart in the seventh, unsuccessfully, and sur- prised the fans by bringing the in- jured Billy Hernian backs into the lineup to play second base for the last two frames. He was called upon to handle two grounders in the eighth and on the first one initiated a fast double play and on the second, easily threw out Dickey. Trueblood Qualifying Rounds To Continue Qualifying rounds of golf for the annual Trueblood tournament will continue through tomorrow, Varsity coach._ Ray Courtright announced. Poor weather conditions held the at- tendance down over the weekend, and for this reason the time limit for the 36-hole qualifying rounds to be com- pleted has been extended. Tomor- row the qualifiers will be paired for match play for the Trueblood trophy.
