Sluggers Have Field Day as New York
Nips Dodgers in First Series Game, 6-5
NEW YORK (A')-Two home
runs by Joe Collins carried the
New York Yankees to a 6-5 vic-
tory over the Brooklyn Dodgers
yesterday in the first game of the
54th World Series.
A crowd of 63,869 saw a slugging
match marked by five homers and
a Dodger rally that fell just short
of tying the score in the eighth in-
pling.
Collins smashed , his second
homer of the game with Yogi
Berra on base in the sixth inning
to provide the deciding runs after
he had 'given them the lead, 4-3,
in the fourth with a bases-empty
curcuit blow.
Howard Hits Homer
Elston Howard also hit a Yankee
homer and Carl Furillo and Duke
Snider walloped a pair for the'
Dodgers as the starting pitchers,
Whitey Ford and Don Newcombe,
had a rough time.
Ford finally was yanked after
Brooklyn had scored twice in the 1
eighth, with the aid of Gil McDou-
gald's two-base error, and Bob
Grim finished. Newcombe went ,
out in the sixth, soon after Collin's1
second homer.
The 32-year old infielder,,*who
showed a puny .148 batting aver-
age for five previous World Series,
ripped into Don Newcombe, the
Brooks, 20-game winner, for the
two homers, and drove in three
runs.
Robinson Steals Home
Not even an electrifying steal of'
home by Jackie Robinson in the
eighth and homers by Carl Furillo
and Duke Snider could save the
Dodgers who never have won a
series. Once again they opened the
series on the same frustrating note
of defeat.
After Whitey Ford, the chunky
lefthander, appeared to tire in the
two-run eighth inning, Manager
Casey Stengel brought on Bob
Grim to pitch the ninth.
The fast-balling righthander
struck out Pee Wee Reese, yielded
a single to Snider, got Roy Cam-
panella on a deep fly to Hank
Bauer and flipped a third strike
past Furillo's swinging bat to
nail it down.
"Why don't they change the
script," a reporter moaned as he
left for the clubhouse and the cus-
tomary post mortems while the
crowd of 63,869 slowly streamed
out of Yankee Stadium.
Victory For Ford
It was Ford's victory and anoth-
er auspicious start for the Yanks
who own a fabulous 16-4 record in
series competition. The winner of
the opener has captured 32 of 51
previous series. Grim deserved his
share of praise and so did Elston
Howard who tied the score with a
two-run home run in the second
inning.
But the big man was Collins
from the coal fields of Scranton,
Pa. His first homer, lined into the
lower right field seats in the
fourth, sent the Yanks out front
4-3. His second smash, a 400-foot
wallop into the bleachers in right
center with Yogi Berra on base in
the sixth, provided the late inning
insurance the Yanks needed.
Once again Collins had risen to
the occasion as he did so many
times during the regular season
despite his .234 average. Both
Cleveland and Chicago were beat-
en almost single handedly by Col-
lins who hit two homers against
each in vital games.
Rain threatened the game early
in the day but a warm sun broke
through a heavy overcast during1
the early innings. In the final
stages of the game, there were
black clouds hanging low, forcing,
the lights'to be turned on in the

last of the eighth.
Brooklyn rocked Ford, the lefty
who dared to face the heavy
right-handed sluggers of the
Dodgers, and scored two runs in
the second inning on Furillo's
homer off the top of the four-
foot wall in right field, Robinson's
triple and Don Zimmer's single,
The Yanks came right back with
a pair in their half of the second
on a walk to Collins and How-
ard's line drive homer into the
lower stands in left.
Snider gave Brooklyn the lead
again in the third when he
smashed a 1-2 pitch by Ford deep
into the upper deck in right field,
breaking his own National League:
record with a sixth World Series
home run.
Yanks Tie It
Once again the Yanks lost no
timehin tying it up in their half
of the third on a walk to Ford,
Bauer's -single and two successive
infield outs. Ford scampered in
from third while the Dodger in-
field played back and Zimmer
threw out Irv Noren for the second
out.
With the game all knotted up
at 3-3, Collins lined his first home
run, four or five rows into the
lower right field seats, to lead off
the fourth inning.
Lane May
join Cards
Next Week
ST. LOUIS (P)-If Frank Lane
joins the St. Louis Cardinals as
general manager, as generally ex-
pected, the contract probably
would be signed in St. Louis early
next week.
August A. Busch Jr., president
of the Cardinals, said yesterday
he has authorized General Manag-
er Dick Meyer to carry on "pre-
liminary negotiations" with Lane
in New York during the World
Series.
Talks Proceeding
Lane recently resigned as gen-
eral manager of the Chicago White
Sox. Busch said if the talks be-
tween Meyer, who also is an exec-
utive of the Anheuser Busch brew-
ery, and Lane prove satisfactory
the pair would return to St. Louis
for further discussions with him,
probably early next week.
Busch said if an agreement is
reached with Lane at that time,
contract would be signed here,
Busch, who isn't attending the
series, said there had been no dis-
cussions on the team's managerial
situation for next year and would-
n't be until an organizational
meeting here either Oct. 10 or Oct.
15.
Harry, The Hat, Walker, the
current field pilot, left for his Ala-
bama home earlier this week and
said he had received no word on
his future with the club and "I
guess maybe they don't know yet,
either."

Drilling for this Saturday's tra-
ditional grid battle between Mich-
igan and Michigan State contin-
ued yesterday at both schools.
Hoping to make it two victories
in a row, the Michigan Wolverines
ran through a heavy practice in
preparation for their forthcoming
game against the Spartans.
After first running through a
series of blocking assignments, the
starting eleven then defended as
the reserves ran through a series
of Michigan State plays.
Also dressed for practice were
Jerry Goebel and Tom Maentz.
Goebel, who was out the day be-
fore with a bad ankle, is a doubt-
ful starter for Saturday's game.
Maentz, who is recovering from a
spinal injury, expects to be back
long before the six weeks which
were previously predicted for his
return.
'M' Freshman Injured
Injured yesterday was freshman
George Jaglowicz. He was taken
to Health Service where it is
reported he is suffering from a
broken leg.
Out in East Lansing, Michigan
State Coach Duffy Daugherty,
showed concern over taking his
sophomore studded team into the

Ldose .Director
BERKELY, Calif. (A)-The Uni-
versity of California may be in
the market for a new football
coach, it appeared yesterday in
the wake of Brutus Hamilton's
surprise resignation as athletic
director.
Although official confirmation
was lacking, the word on the cam-
pus of this 16,000-student univer-
sity was that Lynn Pappy Waldorf
could step up to the directorship
from his head football coaching
post and that the school would
seek a replacement for him from
the ranks of established coaches.
Hamilton's resignation Tuesday
came as a surprise despite per-
sistent rumors of reorganization
of the Cal athletic program. The
veteran Hamilton, who -took over
the directorship in 1947, will re-
main as head track coach, a post
he has held since 1932.
In his letter of resignation Ham-
ilton said his action was "not a
hasty decision but one that has
been under advisement for some
time."

Dodgers Keep Perfect Record
In Knocking Out South paws
NEW YORK (P)-The Brooklyn
Dodger's didn't win the first
World Series game yesterday,
but they got a measure of comfort
in that they maintained one of
their season records.
No left-hander went the dis-
tance in beating them the past
season.
Six lefties got the decision, but
none was around at the end.
New York hurler Whitey Ford
made No. 7, but he, too, went the
way of the other southpaws..
empty consolation, to be sure, in
view of the Yanks' 6-5 victory in
the World Series opener.
