l But these marks just begin to . tell the story of how history was ‘ made on that now well-worn path between the Yankee Stadium in the Bronx and Ebbcis Field in Brooklyn. This richest classic in history saw some 17 all-time ser- ies records broken-a good many of them for just plain sloppy playing. O O

Pitcher Floyd (Bill) Bevans of the Yankees, for example. set two records in bne game——one for be- ing wild and the other for control. It was. of course. his performance in walking the most men in one i game-10—and for going the long- est distance without allowing a hit-eight and two-thirds innings.

O O O O

Take a look at some of the oth- er records which were brokent~ The Yankees left the most men on bases in history, 63. Brooklyn | walked the most, 3B. The two teams combined allowed the most walks. 65. The 3 hours and 19 minutes of the sixth game produc- ed the longest nine inning series contest on the books. Hugh Casey of Brooklyn was the first pitcher to get credit for victories on two successive days. even though he had to pitch only one b'a1l for one of his wins. New York used 21 ' players, the most ever to play in

a single game (the sixth). Brook- ‘ lyn used 17 that day. anti togeth- er it was the most players ever to see action in a series game. 38- and also the most pitchers ever used by two teams. 10.

e o

a a

Of course. all of’ the records set. says the report, are not reflection on a sandlot series. Bobby Brown of the Yanks. for example, be- came the first man to get three pinch hits. Billy Johnson of the Yanks was the first to get three triples in a series, and Yogi Berra of the Yanks was the first pinch hitter to smash a home run.

O V O O

Then of course. lt will go down in the books that Jackie Robinson oi’ Brooklyn was the first negro to play in the world series, and team mate Dan Bankhead the second.

O O O O

In addition to the records broken. three were tied-New York got three triples in a single game (the second). Pewee Reese of Brooklyn got no fielding chances in the same tilt. and in that one and only sixth game. New York used six pitchers.

Charlottetown Team Wins Opener For Softball Clfship

The Charlottetown softball team yesterday defeated the Summer- side Air Force team 9-2 in the first game of a three-game series for the Prince Edward Island championship in a hard-fought encounter at Summerslde.

The game was called midway through the eighth inning because of rain. The score at that time was 11-2 for Charlottetown but re- verted to what it had been at the end of the seventh.

Perhaps the outstanding feature was the pitching of Gordon Dril- lon for the Charlottetown team. Vincent, Summerside pitcher, also turned 1n a good game but the Charlottetown sluggers got to him for quite a number of hits.

The second game of the series ls scheduled to he played in Char- lottetown on Sunday. l’
