As Brooklyn Team

Wins Slugfest 9-8 t

By GAYLE TALBOT IBBETS FIELD, Brooklyn, Oet. lt-MD-Hugh Casey, a mellowed Brooklyn tavern keeper, left his cash register long enough today to salvage a 9-8 victory over New York Yankees for Brooklyn Dodgers in the third game of the World Series, thus saving the day for 33.098 fans

in Ebbets Field.

ll’ the Dodgers had blown this one, as they were giving every prom- ise of doing before Casey ambled from the bullpen in the aevenlh ln- ning, lt probably would have been pomible to walk across the floating bodies in the Gowanus, a limpid Brooklyn stream, without getting one‘:

Yankee Stadium. tl1e Dodgers had held leads of 6-0 and thcn 9-4. only to see Lilcm molt awn}: before a vicious New York attack which featured home l'Ll!lS by Joe DiMag- gio and Larry (Yogi) Berra. When Casey took over with one out in the seventh, Berra just had belted his fc>ul=lllzistcrffirst. pE-nch-ilit homer in sci-low l1islo1'_v--t0 pull the Bombers Wlilllll a single run of ty- ing the count.

It was a mighty tense gathering that watchcd the veteran Casey slam the door shut. He yielded clnly one hit tho rest of the way and forced the dangerous DiMaggio to rap into a. double-play in the eighth.

As a result oi’ the one sparkling exhibition of pitching in a game otherwise distznguislhed by terrible chucking on tho jinrt of SL'\'(‘l’l ol-hcr alleged mounds-man who xvandcreci in and out of the throc-hour and five-minute struggle, the Brooklyn: appeared to be back in the series. At least. Burt Shottons lads were spared the lzncminy of a four- itraight licking.

Th» game provided tho first ex- hibition of big league fielding soon in the series Both teams played heads-up ball, in contrast to Wed- nesday's bungling play, in which several players appcared to be blunted.

Longest Gama

Today's tilt was the longest play- off game on record, the Previous marathon mark having been set by the same rivals i111 the '41 series- two hours and 54 minutes. Brook- lyn. by scoring six runs in the sec- ond inning. broke the Dodgers‘ previous record for scoring in a ser- les game-five. ,

Manager Bucky Harris of the Yanks said Bill Bevens, strong- armed rlglhthandcr, would be to- morrow": pitcher with Larry Berra catching. Bevcns won seven and lost’. l3 during the season.

Shotton indicated his probably would be llarry

choice Taylor,

who won 10 and lost five before suffer- ing an arm injury in August.

There was some doubt that Pete Miser. the usually superb Dodger outfielder who was the "goat" of ‘iihe second game, would be ready to start: tomorrow. lie injured hrs right ankle in an aticm ted steal of second base in the fi st frame today and was taken to hospital. An X-ruy disclosed no break.

Oari Furlllo, who succeeded Miser in centre, knocked across two runs with a double off the scoreboard in Brooklyn's second- hning uprising, and singled and lrew s. walk on two of three other appearances.

The Dodgers, attempting to use U1: running game against the Yankees’ young catchers, continued to enjoy fair success. lnsom swiped second off Sherman lnllar, a freshman backstop, just Q from Newark, 1n the first inning, but Reiser was an easy vlctlnn on his dash in the salme inning. Dixie Walker pllfercd second in the sixth inning, bringing the Dodger record so five successful thefts 1n seven ltieq in the series.

Dodgers Rattle Fences

Wlhrle the Dodgers never connect- otl for the distance off any of the five Yank mOLtndsmcn, they rat- tled the fences more than once. Eddie Stanky and Bruce Edwards joined Furillo in slamming deep doubles in the second inning.

Outside of the ihrcc two-baggers 1n their big uprising, the Dodgers also whaled thrcc sharp singles. it W55 all too evident that it wasn't Bobo Newsoms dny after Stanky knocked in the third and fourth runs 0f the frame with a double to right that hit tho fence on the first bounce. Vic Raschi, rookie from the coast, yielded two more tallies bo- Iore he finally got tho Dodgers out. Dixie Walker mnzlc the first. 11nd last outs of thw- gala inning on in- field tops.

With that sort of load. the Dod-

gers looked safe.

But the Yanks kept tearing into I-latten, and when they scored two more on DiMaggids slmaslh in the fifth to make the score 9-6, Shot- ton wisely figured it was time to get the portslder out of there.

“it. should be one h--l of a scrap." was the manner in which Heck Oliver, manager of Len Wadsworth, summed up the scrap Saturday night at the Forumwhen his Canadian middleweight cham- pion meets the challenge of Bunny "Ace" McCloskey in a l2-round battle for the Dominion crolvn.

Wadsworth arrived 111 the City yesterday afternoon from Niagara, New York, and a couple of hours later was working out at the For- um. ln perfect condition, Wads- worth himself was non-committal about the fight but his manager. knowing about the punching power and ruggedness of the challenger and willingness to mix matters against his own battler who is of the same type, visualized a great battle from gong to gong.

Wadsworth, who lays claim to 31 years is a experienced, crafty, hard hitting fighter who has gained loads of experience with world known middleiveights such as Tony Zale, former world cham- pion, Holman Williams, Kid Edgar and other topnotchers. In 80 pro- fessional fights he has only been knocked out once, that being by Zale last Spring, while he has

youthful McCloskey. O O O

But Wadsworth himself is not regarding the fight as something just. for him to get over and done with. He has a lot of respect for the punching power of the Ace and with this in mind is looking forward to a stiff fight all the way.

O O O

Tonight. both scroppers will go

at the Forum and it is safe to say that a. large throng will be on hand to watch the principals work out. It. seems evident that Mc- Closkey will enter the ring a slight underdog in the betting but that will be nothing new for the hard-punching Ace,

O O O

In fact, in his last several fights here the same thing has held true. It l1asn‘t fazed McCloskey in the least, as he has gone on piling victory upon top of victory. When he

still rnnkles in the minds of his followers, his stock jumped con- siderably. Tomorrow night he will be the underdog still, but at. greatly reduced odds.

O O O

What he will be considered af- ter the scrap has gone into the record book still remains to be decided but. it will not be overly surprising if he is the new ruler of Canadian mlddleweights.

O O O

Meanwhile the demand for tick- ets still has promoter Archer groggy. Not. in accepting the or- ders but. in turning them down. As stated previously the advance sale WILL N01‘ get. underway until Saturday morning. Until that. time not a ticket will be sold and then it will be a case of first come first served. as the looked- for pasteboards go to the early customers. ~

Brooklyn's beloved Bums, show- ing some of the spirit that enabled them to capture the National Lea- gue pennant got up ofl the deck yesterday afternoon to wln a thrilling victory over the Yankees and get back into the fight. for world series supremacy.

. . .

It was an action-filled, stirring drama of the diamond yesterday as the hitters took over control to hammer eight hurler: to all cor- ners of the lot and the Dodgers banking on grimly to eke out their slim victory after the Yank-

ees had staged a gallant uphill

fight from a 6-0 deficit to make it

a nip and tuc.k affair to the wire. O

The double play 1n the eighth was likely the turning point of the game. Had Yankees came through then. today they would likely be three games in front but that they didn't. was mainly through the stout pitching heart of Hugh Casey, Brooklyn fireman who must have gladdened the hearts of Brooklyn followers with his great relief pitching job, p]. lbwlnx not a 1-un after he took over mound duties. /
