BROOKLYN. Oct. 1 H (CF) -l Jackie Robinson, Duke Snider and Pee Wee Reese slamed home runs to power Brooklyn Dodgers to al l-2 victory over New York Yan-' kees today in the first game of the 1952 World Series.

Joe Black. the rookie relief art-1 ist, checked the Yankee batters- with six hits, including a home run by Gil McDougald. v

Allie Reynolds and Black wag-l ed a. brilliant pitching duel until; Snider made his four-base nailop. with Reese on base in the sixth .nnlng.

Black, making start in major league baseball, went all .the way for Brooklyn. Reynolds gave up five hits before he was lifted for a pinch hitter i.i' the eighth inning. The other. Reese's second home run lll World' Series competition, came off Ray. Scarborough in the eighth. '

Stengel Not Downhearted Over Loss Of First Game

By Ted Smltn

BROOK.-LYN, Oct. 1-(AP) - Casey stengel says you "can't guess the ball that goes over the fence."

The New York Yankees manager showed no evidence of being down- hearted after losing the first game of the World Series to Brooklyn Dodgers. Then again, he didn't look happy.

The Dodgers did it with three home runs. pushing another in to win 4-2 putting the Yankees one down in the opener just as they were last year against the Giants when they went on to win.

"it was a nice game," Casey said. "They got more home runs than we did. Billy Cox played a nice game. Joe Black pitched a pretty good game."

Casey snorted when somebody mentioned scouting reports on the Dodgers. "Scouting?-they beat us on the field."

Stengel, the constant juggler of line-ups. was asked what he had in mliid for tomorrow.

Undecided About Lineup

"Don't know whether I'll change or not," he replied. "Woodliiig looked good. He ran pretty good. If Woodling don't cripple up during the nlglit I might put him in the game."

Gene Woodling slammed a pinch- liit triple in the eighth and scoi'ed on Bank Bauer's fly.

"That fcller pitched a very good game." Casey went on, referring to Black. "I wouldn't want to say lf he's as good as (Don) New- combe. He was in trouble almost all the way, but he has pretty good control. You have to as a. rellefer.

"It just gets down to the fact you can't get: away from three home runs."

Big Allie Reynolds, the Yankee ace who had his troubles. admitted that he couldn't get. his curve over. lie described the ball that Jackie

Robinson hit for a homer in the second as "a slider that didn't sllde."

Duke Snider's home run in the sixth, he said, was on a "hanging curve."

You can't. make any mistakes in this little ball park," said Rey- nolds.

Selects Key

Stengel selected one play as a key to what might have changed the Yankee fortunes. This happen- ed ln the fifth inning when the score was tied 1-1. Gil McDougald led off for the Yankees by drawing a base on balls. Then Bill Martin slammed a hard single to left and McDougald raced for third.

Andy Pafko. Brooklyn left-fleld- er, made a fast pickup and a sharp throw to third where Billy Cox tagged McDougald. Umpire Bill McKinley called the Yankee out.

"I'm not complaining," said Casey. "It was a very close play at third and the umpire called him out. That's that."

The implication, of course. was that if McDougald had been safe the Yankees might have had a big inning on the way since Martin had taken second on the throw-in.

The Yankees were sober-faced but far from grim as they walked from their dugout to the red- doored dressing room.

Vlc Raschl will carry their pitch- ing hopes tomorrow.

yesterday. The Dodgers have been in World Series competition five times since the t-urn of the century and in all of them they have lost the opening game and the Series as well. The shattering of one jinx undoubtedly gives the Dodgers quite iv. life and now that Brooklyn has taken a one game lead the ex- perts look to see the series extend- ed to almost the limit with the odds still favoring the Yankees. 0 I I

Manager Charlie Dressen's move in starting Black yesterday makes Dressen look pretty good today. Ac- tually Dressen has looked pretty good all season on account of the way he handled a weak pitching staff. when the Dodgers won the National League pennant this sea- son it was generally agreed among the American baseball writers that they had accomplished the feat with the weakest pennant winning mound staff in history.

0 O I

And the man chiefly responsible for this was the man who turned back the Yankees yesterday - Joe Black, The 28-year-old negro today is the toast of baseball and he cer- tiilnlv should be. Since the start of the year he has pitched in more than 80 games with 56 of his ap- pearances being in ,the National League and the remainder in the Cuban League. Last spring he could not catch on with the Dodgers and was sent to the minors. After short periods with St. Paul and Montreal he wait promoted to the Dodgers and from then on he started to roll.

0 O 0

Although Black pitched I great game yesterday, he needed terrific support from his mnes to win. He got it in the field when he was in trouble on several occasions and he got it at the plate. The Dodgers batting proved a. little too much for Reynolds yesterday who ac- cording to reports was a little off on his control. The blgaest bldw was Snider's tzwo-run homer but those round-trlppers by Robinson and Reese were certainly import- ant. Reese's home run was the sec- ond World Series home run of his career and no doubt he was tre- mendously excited. He is regarded as the most popular of all the Dodg- ers and almost a sure bet to be the next manager of the Brooklyn team.

0 O I

Today its Vic Raschl of the Yank- ees going against Carl Erskine of line Dodgers. Although Raschl pitched well in his last two starts in the regular American Ieague schedule, he was unable to win. The Springfield Rifle as he is called possesses oodles of courage and is reputed to be at his but when the going is roughest. no he should be

By WILL GRIMSLEY

BROOKLYN, Oct. 1 - (AP) - Duke Snider's game-winning home run was a "revenge" wallop and Joe Black. big Brooklyn rookie rlghthander who tamed the mighty Yankees in the first game of the World Series, is ready to go again tomorrow "if needed."

"And I may use him, too, in the late innings if it's a close ball game,” said the Dodgers' bouncy manager, Charlie Dressen. in the pandemonlum of Brooklyn's celeb- rating dressing room.

"Joe has told me he wants to work. If he feels okay tomorrow I may call on him." .

Snider, Black and Dressen shar- ed most of the attention in the sweaty dressing quarters underneath Ebbetts Field.

Snider, husky ccntreflelder whose giant poke in the sixth ..ining broke open the ball game in Brooklyn's favor, said he hit 3. sliding fast bail thrown by pitcher Allie Reynolds.

"I got a big charge out of it. too." he added. "In the first game of the World Series in 1949 Reynolds struck me out three times. I swore I'd get even. and I did today."

Snider's big hit, his second long belt of the day to right field, gave the Dodgers a 3-1 lead at the time. The Dodgers won the game 4-2.

Blue): Relaxed

The most relaxed athlete in the Brooklyn quarters seemed to be Black, the 220-pounder whose tire- less relief pitching carried the Dod- gers to the National League flag.

But: he was far from relaxed, Big Joe insisted.

"It wasn't easy. Don't ever let anybody tell you that." he said.

"Nervous? Was I nervous? I'm always nervous out there. My stom- ach was full of butterflies."

Black said he felt he had pitched better games this year than against the world champions.

"I've been faster. I know." he said, "But my curve ball, was com- ing in there pretty well and I had control. I couldnt get. my last ball up against the lefthanders, I dont

know why."

The 28-year-old pitcher said he wasnt very tired and if his arm isn't stiff tomorrow he'll be ready to work again.

Before today, he worked in so games for the Dodgers. but he started only twice. -

"I hope I don't have to use Black tomorrow and I nope I don't have to start him again in the series," said Dzessen.

"It's Call Erskine tomorrow, then Preacher Roe. You know we very well might win three in a row and then we wouldn't have to use Black again."
