Two Down

Dodgers

YANKEE STADIUM, New York, Oct. l-AAPJ-"Two down and two to go", was the Yankee battle cry as New York's American Lea- gue champions flocked into their dressing room after flattening Brooklyn Dodgers 10-3 today to take a 2-0 lead 1n the World ser- les.

"You can't win four if you don't get two." aald Manager Bucky, Harris. altering his statement of Tuesday when he noted that "you can't wln four if you don't get one."

"It wasn't a photo ‘ finish to- day. for which I'm thankful," he added.

The Yankees, who always act like Yankees even though their personnel changes from year to year, were less demonstrative to- day than yesterday.

They poured into their comfort- able, richly-appointed clubhouse.

passed congratulations around among themselves and relaxed with obvious satisfaction.

Allie Reynolds, .who went all

the way for the winners in his first World series mound appear. aiice, was the centre of attraction.

“I threw mostly fast balls," Reynolds disclosed. “1t was a fast ball that Dixie Walker hit for a home run. It didn't have much on ll~until after he got through with ll. TBfil- bflll must have torn out about three seats."

Harris, who announced that the veteran Bobo Newsom. acquired in mild-season, would be his starting pitcher tomorrow and said rookie Larry Berra would do the catch- ing again. although there was some feeling that the Yankee skipper might switch to another backstop.

YANKEE STADIUM. New York. Oct. 1—(AP)-Burt Shotton, like a tolerant father. met his Dodgers at the door of the Brooklyn club- house as they dropped down 5mg. l_v and in pairs from the clouds in which they had blown during the second game of the 1947 World Scries.

"They beat us and we don't. like 1t." he said lclly to the bevy of reporters, whose pencils made virtually the only noise in’ the room.

"But we are human. We got a lot of bad breaks but most of them we set up ourselves."

Asked repeatedly which pitcher would draw the assignment to- mormw of trying to stop New York Yankees in the series start at Brooklyn's home field, the manager countered with "1‘1l have one by noon tomorrow and the entire team will show up at the ball park. We are definitely not going to stay at, home."

Few of the Brooklyn players apoke as they changed into street rlotlies. Their attitude was best summed up by Hank Behrman, relief pitcher: "

"I ain't got no comment." Behr- man said as he hurried out o! the ltadium.

Vic Lombardi. Brooklyn's south- paw shorty who was shelled from the hill in the fifth, listened to a broadcast of the rest of the game. Lombardi smiled wryly as the an- nouncer told his listeners that a pitcher with a big lead can win easier than one with a small lead."

"Man. isn't that the truth," he added sadly.

"Ace" McCloskey at the Forum Saturday night. If the champion arrives in the City in time he will go through a light workout at the Forum tonight but in any event fans will have a chance to glimpse him putting the finish- ing touches to his conditioning campaign the next night. Friday. O O O

Never ln_the history of the game. here has so much interest been evidenced in a boxing bout. Ex- citement already is at a high pitch as the fans discuss the com- ing fistic attraction and wonder just how the former Island boy. now in a challengers position will fare against the awkward yet nevertheless effective style of the champion.

It is something everyone would like to know. Never having wit.- nessed Wadsworth in action. iii fact. knowing very little about him except for the fact that he is as smart as they come and a solid ounclier, we, like the others will have to wait to see him 1n action but one thing we do know and that is that. he will meet a

training programs and never very muc‘; out of condition McCloskey. realizing this is his big chance, the biggest one of his career. 1:1 fact, has worked himself into razor-edge shape.

MeCloskey, clue to arrive here on Friday. w.i1l again have a slight edge in punching power when _he enters the ring some- where around 10 o'clock Saturday night. Whether that will be en- ough remains to be seen but they will be sure of witnessing a sav- age young middleweight in act- ion as he attempts to tack the Canadian crown alongside the Maritime crown he now possesses.

A rain storm foiled the appear- ant-e here last night. of Tony Ga- lento in a wrestling role and much disappointment was ex- pressed by fans who were anxious

to see the former boxing title contender in action. The can- cellation was unavoidable how-

ever as with boat and plane ac- commodations held up the per- formers had no means by which to reach the Island‘ in time.

However it may be that Ga lento may still be witnessed iii an Island ring. Rumors going the rounds have it that negotiations are now under way to have lilin referee the MeCloskey-Wadsworth scrap here Saturday night. Nego- tiations are still in an uncertain stage but. it. is said that every effort is being made to induce Galento to accept the refeei-lng job.

Series Notes

By Alan Harvey YANKEE STADIUM. New York. Oct. 1——(CP)—The second game of the 44th world series demonstrated

‘decisively that although New York

Yankees may not be the greatest team ever to represent the A-meri- can League i-n the post-season classic, Brooklyn Dodgers will ‘have to pull up their socks 1o avoid bc- ing tagged as the worst ever to rc- present the National League. In losing 10-3, (he Dodgers looked cx- tremely ragged at times.

Reiser appeared lost in centre field, twice missing on long hits over his head and once failing to get. up in time on a blooper that Pistol Pete normally would handle faultlcssly, Even mild-maniicrrd Burt Shotton who manages the Dodgers, admitted he "didn't like some of the thing; that went on in centre field. either.”

Raiser, though. drew a word of encouragement from Joe DiMaggio. his opposite number for i-hc Yank- res. "That sun and the haze that hangs over the stadium make it tough out there,” said tihe Bomber.

New York Power

Asserts Itself In a Second Tilt Of Series

By Gayle Talbot NEW YORK, 0st. 1 —(A!')—Havlna accented the oimilns world series games as an outright gilt, New York Yankees returned today to give Brooklyn a humiliating 10-3 booting In the second tussle with Ill exhibition of raw power reminiscent of other and probably gicatel

bomber clubs.

With nearly 10 000 looking on at Yankee Stadium, and for tho mod part relishing the degradation 0f the Dodgers, the Americas: League champions whaled the tar out of four Brooklyn pitchers and left thcil rivals a Barry sight. Many of those who saw it. happen were sayln] "four straight." tonight. The Dodgers looked badly sliuken toward thO

end.

While their own Allie Reynolds was spinning an adequate nine- hitter and receiving gilt-edged support, the Yanks plied into the lucklcss Dodger quartet for l5 blows. including a 375-foot. homer by Tommy I-Ienrich. Their three triples tied a world series record held jointly by a Brooklyn team of 1518 and the Cincinnati Reds of '19.

As late as the fourth inning the Dodgers owned a 2-2 tie, thanks partly to a homer by their pride and joy. Dixie Walker. But from there on it fast became a shamb- les. Vic Lombardi. the little port- sider who started for the National Leaguers, was sluggcd out in the fifth after having yielded nine hits and four bomber runs.
