Oct. 5 - (AP) - The one and only Joe DiMaggio lined a loth-inning home run into the upper deck at shlbelliark to crush the luckless Philadelphia Phlls again today, 2-1. and give New York Yankees 3 probably in- surmountable lead in the 1950 World series. The Yanks now lead. two games to none. The great outfielder's telling blow, his seventh World Series homer, came with none out in the first extra inning of a tense mound battle between Robin Roberts of the Phils and Allie Reynolds of the Yankees. With the acount two balls and one strike against him. DiMaggio found one he liked and drove it into the spectators some- thing under 400 feet from the plate. It was the veteran star's first hit of the series. and iticould not have come at a more ausplcicus time. His bat did not figure in the Yank- ees' dramatic 1-0 victory over Jim Konstanty in Wednesday's opencr. Today's defeat was the sixth straight by a one-run margin for the Phillies in World Series com- petition. They lost the last four of the 1915 fall classic to Boston Red Sox by that margin and now have dropped the first two of this series. As a result of Joe's timely wallop. which crushed the hcme crowd of 32,660 as surely as it all but killed the championship hopes of the Phillies, the bombers go into the third game in their own stadium tomorrow hoidlfig a tremendous ad- vantage over the youthful Nation- al Leaguers. The next three games are sched- uled in the Bronx. with the Yank- :g last two games of the series. I O C 0 Both games have crossed up the experts. who figured iht Yonkaes' superior base hitting would run the scores to astronomical figures. by turning out to be tight pitch- er"s duels. The battinz power In yesterday's game as for as extra base hitting was confined to ihP Quziker City's line-up as the Whiz Kids poked the bail for extra bases but missed out when Rey- nolds proved io be their master in the clutch. 0 O O 0 Fans will expect today's game at Yankee Stadium to be a free slugging contest now that the Phils have shown they do not fear the Yanks pitchers.

Roberts, the 24-year-old right- hander who won 20 games during the regular season. gave Cascy Stengers poised outfit a real tussle today, just as Konstanty did Wed- nesday. But again it wasn't en- cugh. The whiz kids could not solve Reynolds' fast ball and crackling curves with men on, any more than they solved Vic Raschi in the opener, and in the end it took only one solid shot to sink them. Manager Eddie sawyer's boys were not quite so helpless at the plate today. They landed on Rey- nolds for seven hits, including three dcubles and a triple. They threat- ened frequently all through the chill afternoon. and two sparkling double plays were required to piiil Reynolds safely through the eighth and ninth innings. Missed Opportunities Yet, at the cnicial points when a hit would have put them back in the series, they -were a study in fut- ility. Dick Sis-ler came to bat five times with men on. struck out twice and failed to get the ball oc- yond the infield. In fact, he has ended both games here by striking out. Del Ennis. the Phils' clean-up slugger. went for the second day without a safety. That. in the end. was the story, ' The Yankees scored first fxzday. With two away in the second inn- ing. Roberts walked Gerry Cole- man, Yankee second-baseman, on 3 3-2 count. and Reynolds, always a dangerous hitting pitcher, slapped a single down the right line cn which Coleman raced to third. Gene iwoodllng sent him across with a roller deep to shortstop on which Granny 1-lamner had no real chance to make a play. The Phillies made their first score of the series and tied it in the fifth. Second-baseman Mike Ciolint rapped one past first base on which Coleman made a. great ninning stop but throw wildly to first in his haste. Roberts, trying to sacrifice Goliat along. popped to Reynolds. Eddie Waltkus then hit what looked like a simple out toward Ccleman but Just before the ball reached the: Yankee infielder it struck a pebble and bounded over his head. Oollut sped to third as the ball rolled into the outfield and then scored when Richie Ashburn lofted deep to Gene Woodling in left. The tally - only one scored by the Phils in the first 13 innings of the classic - broke a string of 1'7 scoreless frames pitched by Rey- nolds in last year's series and to- day. He allowed the Phillies only two hits in the final five innings. (me of them a burnt which Ashburn beat out to open the eighth and the other a one-out double Ham- ner inathe ninth. The Yanks pecked away at tub. crts after scoring in the second. ,but the young righthander bore down with men on and looked as though he might duel Reynolds right down to night-fall until he ran afoul of DiMaggio. Bobby Brown and Hank Bauer slugged successive singles with one away in the eighth. but the Phil- lies ace forced Coleman to ground out and fanned Reynolds to end the threat. Coleman's bouncer. on which Hamntf pegged him out from short. was. incidentally. the first assist credited to 1 Phil in thg game. The kids made three more in the last two innings. winding up with only one more than the World Series record of three. Disagree on Pitch Dimssio and Roberts were in wide disagreement over the pitch that Joe hit. The Yankee Clipper said he thought it was I low slid- er. and, in fact, 9. bad pitch. Rob- erts insisted it was 3 fast bail, and the chances are that he knew what he had toned. .

There have been four great pitching performances - twn on each, side-in two days." The Yankees acted like kids that unexpectedly found a dollar bill - surprised and happy. Reynolds. with a wry smile. confessed to a pitching error.

It was an excellent match to watch. with both squads coming up with some really heads up football that produced plenty of hard-hitting action that resermiled mid-season form rather than I first-of-the-season performance. smart Back-field running at- tacks and hard. effective tackling were the highlights of the game all the way through. and although the first half saw both turns have a close scoring attempt each. neither were able to come up with the final push for a try. and for the most part was it sea-ow but- tle over the" centre field line. Saints held a very slight advant- age on the territory play in the opening half. but held the attack pretty deep in the P. W. 0: song for most of the final half. First Half Following up on their kickoff to start the game underway. P. W. C. carried the play slightly inside Saint territory. but were sooni pushed back over the centre field line, to touch off a series of fast run rig attacks by both teams that turned into a see-saw'bettle that was waged mostly between the two 40 yard lines. It was not until the midway mark in the half. that the first real scoring threat took place. Fighting hard and making short running gains. P. W. C. forced the play down to Saint's 20 yard line. and forward Charley Ballem made a 15-yard plunging run to get within five yards of a score before being stopped short by a stiff defensive action by the Saints. Ballem received 3 bad gash,on the side of the nose on the play. and a few minutes later was forced to retire from the game. He was replaced by Ron Atkinson. I-Hillb.-ick Joe Mellette took the Saints out of trouble when he made a nice kick on I snap-back from the serum. A few minutes later the saints also made their big bid of the half. Forcing the play deep into P. W. C. territory. Art Hickey scooped up a loose ball at the P. W. o.- 25 yard. line. to make a lovely broken-field run that-just about clicked for a score. Fullback Joe Hoyt and another P. W. 0. forward brought him to the ground on the five yard marker. saints tried hard to push it cover from there. but a determined counter-action by the Welshman. threw them back yard by yard. right to centre field again. P. W. C. made some fine displays of hard tackling, and plunging gains during the flurry.
