Seldom has a World Series game gone up the spout more quickly. After on hour's play 1n chill, windy weather the Dodgers were out in front 1-0. and wing- ing. The tall Brant-a, his fast ball whistling and his curve cracking, had set the first dozen Yanks down in order, striking out five of them.

‘Pwenty-one minutes later the worst had happened to the Na- tional Leaguers and the game was beyond recall. Manager Burt Siiotton’: boys hustled up a couple more runs later off Joe Page, the second Yank hurler, but they never had s chance to catch up. Frank Shea. brilliant Yankee freshman pitcher. received credit for the victory after being lifted for a pinch-hitter in the big fifth.

The record crowd, which includ- tdT 8,000 standees, surpassed the previous high turnout oi’ 60,990 which witnessed s game of the i943 playoff at the Stadium he- tween the Yankees and Si. Louis Cardinals. Gross receipts of $325,- BZQJO also established a series high. the previous best having

‘been $269,408 during the '42 series, slii between the Yanks and Car- riirlals.

A Good Show

Except for the one frightful inning, tho two teams put on an exhibition worthy of the $166,172 which accrued to the players‘ pool. Both sides fielded flawless- l_v;and there were several fine plays, particularly a couplE of ratrhes by Carl Furillo_ substitute Dodger centrefielder, late in the game.

If only Branca had regained his poise after Joe DiMaggio scratch- zd the Yankees’ first hit off him to_ open the fifth, the contest might have gone down as a near- rlassic. But the tall youngster from Mt. Vernon. N. Y., had it -bad. and there was no saving him.

DiMag's hit was s deep ground- uibetween third and short, which Pee Wee Reese of the Brooks‘ Ilflilfid down but couldn't throw in time for s close play. With that Bganca took off. He tossed four straight bails to George McQuinn, none of them even close, his fifth pitch nearly beaned Billy John- son. the Yank third sacker sav- lrw himself only by taking the bail on his arm.

Eive Counters In Fifth Gives New Yorkers 5-3 Win

By GAYLE TALBOT

YANKEE STADIUM. NEW YORK, Sept. Sit-(AIU-The greatest World Series crowd ever—'l3,365 pald—packed Yankee Stadium today to see New York Yankees win the opener of the 1947 classic from Brooklyn ii-S when Brooklyn's 21-year-old pitching prodigy, Ralph Branca. blew sky high in a fateful fifth inning.

The favored Yankees poured all their runs across in the one wild,

than batted around on three hits.

three walks and a hit batsman. Branca. the Zl-gasne winner, departed Except for the single eruption, the win- ners got only one other man on base, on a single by Phil Rluuto in

singles by Eddie Stanky, Relser and carl Furillo, who hit for Gene Hermanskl. They got their thir.d and last in the seventh when Reese dropped a single into right raced to second as pinch- hitter Eddie lllksis was striking out, and tore all the way home from there when Page uncorked a wild pitch.

The Dodgers appeared to be in poor shape for continuation of the play-off. They had counted heav- ily on Branca to get them off in front. Shotton declined to name tomorro\v's starter, but his choice was almost certain i0 be Vic Lom- bardi, a. lefthander.

The Yanks, rejoicing in a triumph cheaply won, were pre- pared to pour it on tomorrow with Allie Reynolds, virtually un- beatable in the Stadium this year.

THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

PAGE SEVEN _

Held up by wet grounds’ last Sunday.| Rovers and Legion will attempt to settle City Baseball League supremacy this afternoon at the Park diamond in a sudden- death encounter. and consensus of opinion among the fans is that the season's ball finale will furn- ish a close-played game all the way. '0' Il- 4- il-

Neither squad are willing to make any predictions on the out- come. Each respects the other’s ability immensely and each will try to jump into an early lead, a lead they feel will be margin en- ough to cop the honors.

-l- III 1' -l'

There seems little doubt that Elmer Larter, with un undefeated season's record will toe the slab for the northend team while Le- gionaires Mil likely toss "Lefty" McAleer in against the Rovers club, and both can spell a lot of grief to rival batsmen.

1- + + O

Larter, with uncanny control and a. change of pace that con- tinually keeps the hitters of‘! bal- ance will.be very, very tough, while McAleer. able to blaze in fast breaking hooks for the entire distance, and as stouthearted a. liurler as ever iced the rubber, will be equally difficult for the Rovers.

+ 4' + Il-

Both are considered the best of local hurlers produced in recent years and the game cannot shape up as anything else but a hurling duel. If the defense of both squads are up to par, and there is no reason to believe they shouldn't be. it is bound to be a low scoring battle with the breaks. as has been the case all through this year's playoffs likcly to play an important part in deciding the outcome.

Another event that is attract- ing a lot of interest is the ap- pearance at the Forum tonight in a wrestling role of Two-Ton Tony Gaiento, one time challenger for the world's heavyweight boxing championship but for the past six months performing with the wrestlers and chalking up quite a number of mat victories in his new role.

The swaggering. loud-mouthed Galcnto who at the same time possesses tons of courage, has beep packing the fans in with ev- ery performance and always gives a good show to the customers In meeting Ivan Kalmikofl, a Eur- opean wrestler, Galento will face an equally rugged opponent and the bout should provide loads oi’ action.

Whlle Len Hughes and Bull curry have been relegated to s semi-final role.‘ their battle is very apt to steal the show. It is a known fact that there is plenty of hard feeling existing between the pair of wrestlers; their meetings usually produce a bit of every- thing that goes to make up the wrestling game and tonight's clash should be rugged] all the way

Rlverside race track will also draw a large crowd of spectators to its harness racing meeting this afternoon. According to the rail- birds who have been followlnfl the trotters and pacers all season long today's card should provide close. split-up racing in every class and with a, running and "farmers race as added attractions the W981?" looks to be an attractive one for harness followers.

Expect Rugged Action In Tonighfs Wrestling Card

Irony Gslento, former heavy- weight boxing contender and one of the few men to have Joe Louis on the floor, will likely strike the above pictured pose often tonight when he tangles with Ivan Kai- mikofl in the main event of the wrestling card being staged at the Forum. Making s. name for himself in the wrestling game since desertlng the mittslinging boys, Galento usually gives a crowd-pleasing display and is not the least bit adverse to bringing his fists into play 1f the occasion warrants, so fans are very liable to see a combination of wrestler and boxer perform for it is said that Kalmikofl is a rather rugged gent himself and is willing to meet any opponent at whichever game the said opponent chooses.

Len Hughes and Bull Curry meet in the semi-flnal. That match should round out what ap- pears to be the best balanced box- inK show of the season. All four Brapplers are willing. able per- formers, conditioned to stand the most gruelling tests, and promot- ers of the event are confident of tonight's show far surpassing the ones put on at the Forum already this season.

“We (int Beat" lloilg:rs’ Manager Says, Nothing Else

YANKEE STADIUM. New York, Sept. 30 -(AP)-—Manage<r Burton Edwin Shotton of the Dodgers put his hands on his hips, took so much time it seemed he hadn't heard the question, and then said ln that sharp, country-boy voice of his:

"We got beat. What is there to say but that."

Later, after the Dodgers in their dressing room had held s private review of what had hap- pened, he was smiling.

“If the curve ball that Johnny Liindell hit in the fifth inning (with the bases loaded) had been outside instead of inside we'd still be in the ball game," said Shotton.

"l would have liked to win it, certainly. But we aren't going to fold up.

"Nothing happened to Ralph

Branca (who had pitched flawlcss ball up to the fifth inning). He just got the ball in lihe wrong place. That's because he's human."

As for Branca, he had been pale as s ghost and sweating before the gaime started. For four innings he had set the mighty Yankees down in order. ‘Ilhen the roof fell in.

Someone thought maybe the wind bothered him.

"l didn't even know which way the wind was blowing. You don't think I was scared, do you?"

No one did.

But Dixie Walker offered expert, outfielder testimony on the wind.

“It was playing the fool with those balls," he said. "It was the worst you'll ever see lt."

"Aw, we had to play it conservat- ive," said Jackie Robl-nson. “That's wlhen we got four runs behind. That's not our kind of game."

_. Yankees cams through with the first victory in this world series yesterday when they subdued Brooklyn Dodgers 5-3, but Judging by the account over the air waves Dodgers should still make-a mighty tussle of it before the champions are crowned. . 4- 0 i» O

Again it was one big inning. this time the fifth that broke the Dodgers’ hearts as the winners. combining timely extra base hit- ting with pitching wildness sc- counted for all their runs and then put down belated Brooklyn bids with the brand of defensive work they are noted for.

O O

And Jackie Robinson, first negro player over to make tho big leag- ues, proved himself a player of the highest calibre yesterday in the Dodgers’ defeat. For the first few innings Robinson stole tho show with his work on the base- psths s d now that Yankees have vftnsss some of the first sack- or’: bssopath lightning he will be oven more closely marked. from now on.

The series continues today. Yos- tsrday's‘orowd of 73,000 fans sew s tightly-knit bail game oll the way and today with the Dodgers seeking to get back into the run- ning it is~iikoly that another rs- cord breaking attendance will be on hand for the second chapter

Slr,— Resizing the Hunter's Cor- ner in yo-uf‘ issue of Sept. 20th., I notce there is room for many contradictions which I will now make. “Two fishermen said on Aug. 27th they wcre driving BlC/ng Peake‘; Road about tihree miles from Mt. Stewart, they saw invo men standing in a deep ditch on the right sirlo of the road and both men were holding double barrel shot guns allreacy and intent- ly watching a covey of Huns feed- ing in a grain field- among the stocks." I may say that Pcakes Road, is seven mllcs from Mt. Stewart, not three, and there is no grain field on the right side of the ro-ad three mllcs from Mt. Stew- art: also there were not tlwo men standing in the ditch with double barrel shot guns watching a covey of Huns.

If those fishermen furnished such correct information tQ the game warden and as he mid in the Hun- ters Co-rnrr of Sept. 20th., it did‘ not take h’m long i0 locate the spot, why i; he not taking action?

Let those men give the"r names and we will thcn know there are iwo more down o-n the gunners of Peakes district. It is really amusng to see how little it fakes to get some people all hot and bothered

I suppose some of those outside sportsmen will be very nice to the gunners o1’ those surroundings when (lie duck season opens and would like us to aid them in getting a duck dinner, so I say. country gunners, gct wise!
