 The Gillette Caval Cave of Sports is on the air. There may be no additional descriptive words used today. This is the seventh game of the World Series, and this is the game. Both clubs have won three, and today we find the winner taking the Jules, taking the title, and being the champion of all baseball, as far as the American and National League is concerned. Another bright, brilliant fall afternoon here in Yankee Stadium with a temperature in the high 60s, the sun shining brightly, and on the sidelines we have two left-handers, Johnny Padres working for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Tommy Byrne working for the New York Yankees. Padres will be making his second appearance in the World Series. He has won victory, and Tommy Byrne is working in his second game, and he has won victory. Byrne pitched in the second game of the series. He beat the Dodgers here in Yankee Stadium. Padres pitched over in Ebetsfield, and he beat the Yankees over there. So today, Johnny Padres tries to break the jinx that the Dodgers have not been able to win a game in Yankee Stadium. Now, here are the line-ups for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Junior Gilliam will lead off and play in left field. Thierry Reese will be at shortstop in bat second. Duke Snyder, who had to leave yesterday's game in the third inning when he popped something in his knee, is going to give it a try. He's all taped up. He will bat third. He will play center field. Roy Campanella will catch in bat fourth. Carl Frillo will be in right field. Gil Hodges will be at first base down the hook at third. Don Zimmer at second, and Johnny Padres will be the pitcher. The United States Marines have a color guard out in center field. And ladies and gentlemen, join with us now as we hear our national anthem. I've given you the line-up for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and now for the home-standing New York Yankees. Phil Rosito will lead off and play shortstop. Billy Martin will play second base in bat second. Gil McDougal will bat third, and of course play third base. Yogi Barra will bat fourth and catch. And Yogi Barra, by the way, is the only member of either lineup who has hit safely in all games. Hank Bauer will play right field, and he will bat fifth. Batting sixth is Bill Scowern, the big strong right-hand batter who yesterday hit a home run to the opposite field. Bob Serv will be in center field. Elston Howard will be in left field, and Tommy Byrne, the left-hander, the veteran, will go against the youngster. Johnny Padres, the left-hander. So today will be a South Falls holiday, and the Brooklyn Dodgers will try to prove that, well, they can win this World Series. Padres now has concluded his warm-up tosses, and Tommy Byrne wants to get in a few more licks to make sure that that arm is just right. The wind is blowing in the direction of left field, and it's a slight breeze high up, not too much wind down below in the playing field. The center field flag not flaring up too much, but the flags up on top of the roof where the wind can get to them are full-out, which would signify that the velocity is about 10 miles per hour. Today is slightly hazy, although the sun is shining brightly, and there's a slight shade of great cloud way off to the left, but over to the right it's nice and clear. The umpires for today's game, the final game of the 1955 World Series. Jim Honichick will call the balls and strikes. Umpire Lee Ballifant of the National League will be at third base. Bill Summers of the America League will be at second base. Frank Dasculli of the National League will be at first base. Down the left field line is John Flaherty of the America League, and down the right field line is Augie Donatelli of the National League. The New York Yankees come busting out their dugout, and the songs symbolic of baseball take me out to the ball game gives them a serenade as they talk to their positions. The Brooklyn Dodgers send out Junior Gilliam, and now ready to take us along in the first four-and-a-half fittings of this big game in the World Series is Al Halper. Bob, awful sorry to see that you have such a heavy chest cold fella. Hi everybody. Yes, we're ready for the final game of the World Series. 1955, and for the past 24 hours it has been said over and over across this great land of ours, this is it. But the phrase bears repeating. And it is it here at the Yankee Stadium this afternoon. We'll know in a couple of hours who the world champions are going to be. And before we get this one started with the Wake Forest Deakin going out to take them out now for the New York Yankees, let's pause 10 seconds for station identification. This is Mutual, the radio network for all America. Time now for the concluding game of the 1955 World Series. The line-ups are given you by Bob Neil are correct. Gilliam will lead off for the Brooklyn Dodgers, he'll be in left field. Reset shortstop. Hitting third despite a bad knee and it's heavily taped. His Duke Snyder, he'll be in center. Roy Campanella will be catcher, all for a low and right. Hodges will be the first baseman hitting sixth, hitting seventh. Don Hope taking the place of Jackie Robinson at third base. Then we'll come Don Zimmer at second base hitting eighth and the number nine hitter for the Brooklyn Dodgers. A pitcher from, whether it be New York. Left-hander Johnny Padres. Padres on the regular season, a nine and ten winner. And in World Series play, one and one. Facing Tommy Byrne who has won 16 and lost five in the regular season. And he's won an all in the series this year. As far as he's too much of a concern in the 1955 World Series, Byrne has pitched nine full innings. He's given up two runs, five hits, he's passed five, he's struck out six. He's pitched, wild-pitched no time. For Johnny Padres, his record is equally impressive. He's pitched nine innings, given up three runs, seven hits. Passed two, struck out six. He's wild-pitched no time. So we're expecting a humdinger of a ball game here this afternoon at the Yankee Stadium. As Bob told you, the wind blowing out toward left field, it's not much of a wind and will not help or hinder fly balls hitting that sector to any great degree. Bright brilliant sunshine in autumn day here in New York City. And many of the folks sitting out in the center field sector and in the left field bleachers are sitting out there without their coats in this warm sunshine. Back onto the protective overhang of the stadium. Of course, the folks have draped themselves in at least suit coats. Upfire Jim Honichick behind the plate here for the final game has called for the first batter and Jim Gilliam a switch hitter, steps up. Jim batting right handed against left hander Tommy Byrne. Gilliam has six base hits for 20 trips to the plate in the series and he's batting at an even 300. So the fact will be on the fire now as Tommy Byrne takes his sign from Yogi Bara to get the seventh and concluding game of the 1955 World Series underway. Byrne tugs at the peak of his cap, gets himself set, checks his infield and outfield. Looks over at Scowern at first base, checks Martin at second, looks at Resudo at short. Down at third, McDougal playing a shallow third. The outfield, Elston Howard in left, Bob Serving center and Hank Bauer in right. The battery of the Yankees, Tommy Byrne on the mound, behind the plate is Yogi Bara. Now we're ready to go. Byrne pumps once, delivers a fast ball and it's in there for a strike. So all the history books have the pages laid open, the record books are ready to receive whatever is to be written in them within the next three hours. Upfire at first base is Des Colen and second is Bill Summers down at third is Lee Ballinfan. Long the left field line, it's Red Flaherty. Down the right field line, Argy Donatello. The pitch of curve ball, slam back over the mound, Resudo coming in fast and short, picks up, throws the first base in five and jelly miss out. Hot chopper hit back in the mound, Resudo handle it very neatly. That'll bring on Reese. The Dodger captain and shortstop has seven base hits for 23 attempts in the World Series this year and batting at 3-0-4. One out, the base is empty, top of the first and he no score. Just getting underway here at the Yankee Stadium. Tommy Byrne with his assortment of slow stuff and a clever slider. Veteran gets ready, delivers to Reese, there's that slider over for a strike. Byrne mucking around out of the mound, takes his time. Yogi Berra stays down on the crotch, bumping the sun. The outfield for Reese plays him slightly shaded around the right. They figure he might poke in the right field and he usually does. He'll reach for that outside pitch. The old one delivered to him. Curve ball is hung on by Reese, hung out in the center field. The box serve coming on to get the range. Wax the mitt, reaches up and takes it for out number two. Two down, top half of any number one. No base runners and the batter is Duke Snyder. Duke kind of limping up to the plate. Gets a round of applause here from the thousands and I've watched him thrill the crowd in the previous games of this World Series. Duke has eight hits for 22 attempts in the series, batting at 3-64. He's hit four home runs and has driven in seven runs. Stands there, waggles that bat and Tommy Byrne comes in with the first pitch of fastball and it's on the outside for ball one. Two down, nobody on here on the top of the first inning. The series all locked with three games apiece and this is the deciding one. Byrne is set down, 35-year-old left-hander pumps twice. Delivers, fastball and Snyder rips it down to the right side. Martin off to his left, picks up close to first and Snyder is up. All the Brooklyn Dodgers go down here in the first inning with nothing across. Oh, Ryan has no hits. There were no Yankee errors, nobody was left off. The score at the end of the top of the first inning is Brooklyn, nothing to now coming to bat New York Yankees, nothing. Now the Yankees do come up for their whacks in the last half of the first inning. Scoreless ball game and the Yankees will send up as their first man. Lead offer, shortstop Phil Rizzuto. He'll be followed by Martin and then by McDougal. If anybody gets on, Yogi Berra hitting in the number four position will be coming up. Thank you. Phil Rizzuto today playing in his 52nd World Series game. In his ninth series, breaking Joe DiMaggio's record for the most games played. Johnny Padres comes down with his first pitch and lays it in their hive of all one. Rizzuto has three for twelve in the series, batting at 250. Swings on his pitch soft curve ball is popped up right off to the right of the plate and foul territory. Campanella skipping over a bat, makes the catch. And we have the first off in the last half of the number one. The batter is Billy Martin. Bill Corporal has hit seven for 22 tries, batting at 318. Right hand hitter stands about three-quarters deep of the straightaway stance, lays the bat back on his right shoulder. Text curve ball, it's high up to the face. One ball, no strikes. Billy Martin when he takes his batting stance reminds me somewhat of the batting stance that was taken at one time by Hank Greenberg, great star with Detroit. One all delivery, swung on by Martin and missed. One ball, one strike. Padres fed that close to the vest. Martin tried to pull away from it and hit it. Hotfield just about straight away. They're not playing too deep for Martin. Soft curves, swung on, hit down the left field line. Gilliam coming over near the stands in the corner, makes the catch. And Martin is off. Two down, last half of the first inning. The batter now will be third baseman Gill McDougal. Gill has only four base hits in the series in 23 attempts. He's batting at 174. He has hit one home run and is driven in one of the 25 runs batted in. The Yankees now possess. Two down, the base is empty, last half of the first inning. Gill McDougal hitting right hand. Left foot forward to the plate, crouches. Text curve ball, downstairs inside off the shoot-offs. One ball, no strikes. Rodgers apparently tried his slider on that one. The 1-0 delivery. An overhand curve ball and Gill starts for it and checks up in time to take it low for ball two. We're expecting to see some fancy pitching here this afternoon with these two left handers going. Rodgers working now. It's 2-0 count. Delivers and fires it across for a strike. An overhand fastball. Johnny delivers the biggest end of his pitches from the overhand position. He'll come in three quarters overhand with some of them, particularly when he throws his slider. 2-1 delivery by Johnny Padres. Let up curve ball and overhand delivery is low. An account now is 3-1 on Gill McDougal. Two down, last half of the first. No base runners and no score between the Yankees and the Dodgers in the seventh and concluding game of the 55 series. All the action coming to you from the Yankee Stadium this afternoon. Rodgers delivers an overhand fastball. Swing on a missed post strike two. Now a full count to Gill McDougal. Three balls and two strikes. To let safety raise a company of Boston very happy to be able to send you the action from the Yankee Stadium this afternoon. And all the action throughout the 1955 World Series. Padres ready. Here's his 3-2 delivery. Slow curve for 12 strike three. So all McDougal is out of there. That's all for the Yankees in the last half of the first inning as Johnny Padres hangs up his first strike out today in his seventh in this World Series. See the demonstration of the piggyback player. Paper makes a dollar and ninety-five. It's the most. It's the end. One man alive. Five paper makes. You'll say it's fake. When your eyes see the paper makes money. It's piggyback. Back to piggyback. Gill gets paper makes. Bill can spare. Well it's right into the top half of the second inning now. The first man up to the Brooklyn Dodgers will be Roy Campanella. Riding at two fifty in the series. Roy has six hits for 24 tries and if you recall he won 0-8. First eight times up. Couldn't get a piece of the ball hardly. Then he broke out of it with a homerun at Abbott's Field. For Campanella the outfield plays just about straight away. The big hole in the outfield if there is a hole is in right center. Campanella with a slightly open stance down the third base line seems to put his right toe deep in batter's box under the left knee of Yogi Berra. Holds that bat way down to the knob. Petler coaching it first, Herman at third both clapping her hands together trying to get something started. Roy delivers a soft curve and Campy takes it outside for ball one. Roy kicks him out of his spikes, caresses the bat and grabs a hold of the handle as if to strangle it. Oh they won an old delivery. Fast ball and Campanella hits it down to the right side. Billy Martin is in front of it takes the high hopper and throws the first and Campanella is out. One away on the top of the second inning. The batter is Carl Farrillo. Carl Farrillo in this series owns one home run here at the Yankee Stadium. He hit it in the first ball game when he went three for four and a home run in two singles. Of the 24 times Carl has been at bat he has eight base hits. His percentage stands at 333. Three runs batter in the series. Right hand batter hugs up pretty tight against the plate with the straightaway stance. Tommy Byrne throws all that soft easy stuff. That's it. Comes in with one and Carl Farrillo's after lifts it out the left field going off to his left and back as Elston Howard makes a nice catch going away. Oh they're two down here in the top of the second inning. The bats on both sides of the fence have been rather silent so far. Gil Hage. Batting at 273 comes up there. He's hit one home run in the series. Poked it over the right center field scoreboard at Ebbett's Field. He has six for 22 as a batsman in the series. He steps up to the plate right now. The bases are empty two or down. We're in the top of the second there is no score. Byrne Reddy working to a right hand batter throws a fast ball it misses outside and high. One ball and no strikes. The wind has kicked up a little more now coming in from behind right field blowing across the diamond out behind left. Byrne throws one and a all big curve ball that stays low. Two balls no strikes. Byrne has signed for the pitch and Byrne's about to throw it. It's to an all fair and it's a curve ball that stays outside missing by a shade to ball three. Three and nothing on Hage's. Bases empty two down top of the second. Hage's with his closed stance looks at this pitch outside in half a ball four. So Hage's draws a base on balls and this will bring up Don Hope. That's the first base on balls issued by either pitcher. The first for Byrne today and the fifth to make it the sixth in the series for him. Don Hope was used as a pinch hitter so let's check if I can make absolutely certain about his having been used as a pinch hitter. I do know he came in to run. He walked when he was used as a pinch batter before here at Yankee Stadium. He's out to the first pitch and hits a foul ball off to the right of the plate and goes in for crowd out of play. Like Don Zimmer this guy Don Hope is quite a pepper pot and quite a hustler. As far as his batting for Sunday's was concerned it fell off at the tail end of the season. Don can't hit the ball for him can't hit the long ball. Batted a 240 on the regular season. He had five home runs and had 19 runs batted in. Pretty good base runner he had nine steals. Gil Hodges at first two down top of the first top of the second inning no score. Tommy Byrne for the first time pitching with a man on the bases. That doesn't seem to bother the deacon too much. He delivers and Hope takes a curve in their first strike. Nothing unto the count on third baseman Don Hope taking the place of Jackie Robinson this afternoon. Jackie has come up with a bat Achilles tendon in his heel. Shouldn't have played yesterday but he wanted to play and manager Austin needed him. So he went ahead and the result is he cannot play today. He may be used as a pinch-hitter. That's a pitch of swung on as a bounding ball hits the side to the right side. Martin over to pick up post the first and Hope is off. So Martin gobbled that one up very well. Air in the second inning. Slight front of the Dodgers goes for the board. Thought that was set up by the Walk to Hudges. No runs no hits. No errors one man was left off. So the score at the end of one and a half innings of play remains. The Brooklyn Dodgers nothing and the homestanding New York Yankees have nothing. In the last half of the second inning the first batsman up for the Yankees will be their number four hitter in the order. Yogi Berow hitting at 450. Aldress tries a fastball on him and whistles it in their first strike. Has nine base hits for 20 at bats and this hit one homerun. Left hand batter standing deep. Aldress tries the curve on him and swung on. Head out to center field Duke Snyder and limping over under it and makes the catch. Berow lines off to Duke Snyder in center. Up to the plate now comes Hank Bauer. One of the fine Yankee competitors. Hank in World Series play this year has six hits for ten tries. He's batting at 600. Has one run batted in. Aldress fires the fastball at him and gets it over for a strike. Bauer came back to the wars but good yesterday. He had three base hits all singles and four times up. Right near par for the course. Swings on a curve ball and hits it sort of off the end of the bat. It's rolling down a second. Zimmer comes up with it. Throws the first and Bauer is off. Two Yankees up, two Yankees down here in the second inning. Big Moose scarring in the first inning off Spooner yesterday hit a three run homerun. A cheek coming up with the plate now batting at 375 in the series. Three hits four eight times up including that homerun. Skynes a pretty good size guy. Pretty strong right hand hitter. Takes a slow curve pumped in there and it's low for ball one. Skynes sort of nervous and fidgety at the plate always on the move. Leans over and holds about high off his shoulder. Fastballs run on by Skynes along the right field line and bounces and up into the crowd for an automatic two-fagger. Ground rules double for our Moose scarring. Hit an outside pitch to ride and on one hop it's garmed up into the stand. There's the first hit in the ball game. Coming up by Pondres, that's his eighth in the series. And Bob Serv is coming up to the plate. Two down, Skynes on it's second and serve up there batting at 167. Understecks his runner Skynes a second. Delivers to Bob Serv a fastball swallowing a missed first strike. Served it in there right around the letters. Bob Serv two hits and 12 tries including a home run which he hit as a pinch header at Evansfield. Pondres ready with the 0-1 delivery checks his runner Skynes delivers a plate of soft curve swallowing a missed first strike two. Serv lost his bat on that one. Pondres set him up with a fastball and fired that slow tantalizing curve at him and Serv was way out ahead of it. Pondres leading with Roy Campanella now the conference is broken up Campy comes stomping back behind the plate Pondres goes back to the mound Skynes who doubled here in the second with two down as the baserunner at second making the lead. Upfield fanned around the left and playing deep the Serv can pout that ball if he gets a hold of it. Pondres peers down takes the 0-2 sign checks his runner fires away at the plate of curveballs swung on, hit down to shortstop greases up with it, throws the first in time and that's all in the second and eighth. Serv goes down. It's all in the second, no runs. One base hit a double by Skynes one man was left on and there were no errors or at the end of two innings of play now as Yankees nothing and Brooklyn nothing. Tommy Byrne comes to the mound now to start the third inning he'll pitch to Zimmer, Pondres and Gilliam in that order but before we get started let's quickly pause for station identification. This is Mutual, the radio network for All America. Second baseman Don Zimmer coming up to the plate for his first out bat of the afternoon, heading number eight in the Brooklyn order. He's had two base hits and seven tries in the series, has driven in two runs and he's batting at 286. Little right hand hitter holds a heavy back way down to the end. They'll be followed by Johnny Pondres the pitcher and then we'll go to the top of the batting order for Jim Gilliam. The scoreless duel here we've had only one base hit in the entire game the Yankees picked it up on Moose in the second. So Tommy Byrne gets ready now to begin inning number three. Byrne sets fires it in there and the pitchers swung on dragged across the carpet to short. Rezuto off to his left up with it makes the throw to first in plenty of time and Zimmer's out. One away top of the third Johnny Pondres in the World Series this year has had one hit in three out bats. So he's batting at 333. Johnny Pondres getting a round of applause both of these pitchers have been old man ice water and old man tough this afternoon right up to this minute. Byrne standing in about as deep in batter's box as law will allow bends over Byrne throws him the slider and gets it in there for a strike. No balls one strike. One out nobody on top of the third no score Byrne pumps delivers fastballs swung on and missed four strike two working right back to Pondres on the O2 count throws a curve ball popped right back here by our cameras right off to the left of us somebody almost got that one here at the series this year we share a booth with a television camera we've been talking to it right along with the thing never answers his back O2 delivery now to Johnny Pondres Byrne is ready so is Yogi Byrne one out nobody on top of the third overhand curve ball slammed down to the right side and two big hops Billy Martin makes the play on it goes to first and that's all for Pondres two men up two men quietly down in the third inning Jim Gilliam rolled out the shortstop to begin things for the Dodgers in the first inning so he's making his second appearance 6 for 21 in the series against the left hand offerings of Tommy Byrne of course Gilliam is batting right handed Casey Stengel down there Mason back and forth Yankees dug out Byrne delivers a soft curve ball but Gilliam takes low for ball one some of the pictures that have been taken and printed of Casey Stengel's meanderings in the dugout have been something fastball stride on Gilliam and the shoulder high outside for ball two got a hero case lecture to his boys too Tommy Byrne sets looks at Gilliam comes down to him on the 2-0 count misses with the fastball outside and that's ball three so a two down Gilliam has gotten ahead of Byrne on a 3-0 count no score in this one so far Byrne delivers 3-0 his pitch is low outside for ball four that's a second walk giving up with the beacon so the Dodgers find themselves with their second base runner Byrne did the same thing after getting Campanella and Ferello he walked Hodges then Hope rolled out behind Hodges to retire the side about an hour is Peewee Reese Reese flied to center field and Bob served so Peewee is over one Byrne back to visit the rosin bag comes up to the mound now looks over Gilliam who is a pretty good base runner scouring the first baseman holds the inside corner on Jim that's Cole's empire there to call a player pitch to the plate is taken outside by Reese for ball one Byrne to the top of the stretch again with the check of the runner then a pitch to the plate to Reese and he lays it in there for our calm first strike the way Herman has on the way of signs this is the Dodgers outstanding hit and run combination get him on and Reese up at the plate one one count there's the pitch over to Reese for strike two Byrne came along with a medium speed curve ball Reese didn't even offer to pull the trigger Gilliam leads off in the first now with hands on hips now he leans over puts his hands on his knees hits foul off to the right of the plate to the crowd out of play and the count holds it one and two those going to ball game we're in the top third inning two down from the Dodgers they have a base runner in Gilliam at first base the Yankees have had only one base runner that's when Skarren doubled with two out the last half of last inning he remained at second when serve rolled out behind him from short first so both of these pitchers got more this afternoon Byrne is set now with Barry's mid as a target the one and two delivery to Peewee Reese fast balls one on head out in center field Bob's serve off who is right takes the line dry after he tires aside the Dodger threat again goes for the boards no runs with no base hits no errors one man was left on scored the end of two and a half innings Yankees nothing in Brooklyn nothing you have to really take your cap off to Jim Snyder for his great play in the series he's made some fantastic catches and his big bat has spoken eloquently you know Duke shares the record for the most home runs in

appearance at the plate today batting at one eighty two set four for twenty two in the series including a home run he's after the first pitch and hits it back to the screen foul for strike one a scoreless duel between Padres and Tommy Byrne we've had only one hit in the ball game in the Yankees own that one an overhand pitch has swung on he's shifted out into short center field coming on for his Duke Snyder and he's got the range and has the ball Howard is up one Yankee away in the third Tommy Byrne hit one on the snoop in the ball game he pitched that was the second game of the series here at the Yankee stadium he drove in two runs with a single and that's the one hit he has in four attempts of course Byrne has been used as a pinch hitter in this series also Byrne came on and was a pinch hitter in the second of the fifth game last game at Abbots field rolled out in the inning showing out from second base so Byrne stands in he's been used on occasion as a pinch hitter in regular season play also I refer to him as the good hitter pitcher Byrne will be followed by Rizzuto the pitch to Byrne is ball one Tommy's called Byrne once at ball examined on a check oblige looks it over and then fires it right back out to the mound of Byrnes apparently Johnny has pretty good control of that ball and his curve must be working pretty well the one all delivery medium speed fastball looks a little inside two balls no strikes on Byrne the wearer of number 23 two all delivery fastball high ball three so Johnny Byrnes a little fit with his control right now wouldn't be a bit surprised that the pitcher's control might be the answer in this ball game the way these two are going there's fastball in there for a strike the count on Byrne is three and one three one delivery on Tommy Byrne an overhand fastball fired through at the waist first strike count is three and two on the Yankee pitcher got one out here in the last half of third no base runners no score hits runs everything just about as scarce as hen's teeth slow curve is hit by Byrne down the left field line foul that moves back to the crowd and the count holds at three and two on Tommy Byrnes with a new ball gets assigned from Campanella Byrne standing away from the plate with a slightly open stance now down the first base line three two pitch all strike three drilled right through the middle of the knee so Byrnes hangs up his second strike out Byrne is yet to get a man we have a strike out route the top of the Yankee batting order starting their second go round Phil Rizzuto Phil had a soft curve and popped it up to the right of the plate to Campanella back in the first inning Byrnes works the fastball on the scooter and it's low for ball one Byrnes shakes off one side accepts the second set works away at the plate and Rizzuto backs off in the fastball and off the hands Little fella has a count of two balls no strikes this afternoon both Byrnes and Byrne appear to be just as quick as a cat hopping around out there Byrnes delivers fastball and this one misses low other count on Rizzuto is three and nothing just the same as it was on Byrne let's see whether Byrnes is able to hang in there and start racking up the strikes as he did on Tommy two down nobody on last half of the third inning no score Byrnes overhand fastball is low so Rizzuto gets first base on balls off pocket comes the base runner and Billy Martin moves on Martin hit a ball well in the first inning hit it into the corner and left field but Jim Gilliam pretty fleet of foot out there was able to come over and make the catch right in the corner so Martin is 0 for 1 in play today Rizzuto on it first with two down Byrnes checks him comes to the plate with a curve ball and Martin strides into it and doesn't offer as the pitch is high one ball no strikes Rizzuto strides away from first Byrnes pitches a slow curve to Martin and this one's in the dirt two balls and no strikes I said I'm afraid we're sitting on a powder keg here this afternoon the fuse has already been lighted I think it's just a matter of how long it goes until it blows up Reese's command and had his little con fab with pitcher Byrnes he drops back now to his position the count is ball two on Billy Martin with two down here in the last half of the third there's a throw to first and Rizzuto scoots in ahead of it Byrnes returns the ball to Byrnes Johnny glimes up to the rubber and looks down the barrel at Martin Rizzuto is lead at first in comes a pitch Martin takes over for a strike Martin tried to con umphire Haun and check off that one by giving a slight jackknife backward Jim was looking down over the shoulder of Campanella and called it right up Byrnes checks his runner delivers Martin swings it's a ball out in the right field it's going to be in for a base hit Gorilla comes along, picks it up and Rizzuto holds it second hit number two up Byrnes Martin slapping one and the looper out into right field throw a two down the Aggies have runners at first and second now they're making their bid Gilmick Dougal coming up and Walter Austin comes off the Dodger bench and walks through the mound to talk to Byrnes when I have some activity down in the bullpen for the Brooklyn Dodgers let's see who's going to go to work Don Besant is up now throwing there's another pitcher also throwing it could be Newcombe but we can see over in the far side of the runway shootback of left field just the head and right arm of Don Besant throwing Johnny Byrnes is going to stay in the ballgame he'll pitch to Gilmick Dougal whom he got on strike three called in the first inning one of the two Byrnes strikeouts situation the third with no score is Martin at first Rizzuto at second and two down Byrnes ready to work to Gilmick Dougal delivers big soft curve and this one is low ball one Byrnes to the top of the stretch now checker the runners to pitch the plate to MacDougall high this time for ball two both of Byrnes pitches were slow curve balls let's see if Byrnes feeds that fast one in there and out of MacDougall Campanella is down to call for that pitching Byrnes Lodz he's ready to go to work with Campanella then MacDougall steps away for the moment and calls for time Rizzuto at second ready to travel Billy Martin ready to move off at first two down last half of third no score Byrnes is ready looks down and delivers MacDougall takes one hard proof for strike two balls one strike a counter on Gilmick Dougal number three hitter in the Yankee order Byrnes checks delivers two in one a soft curve ball it's inside the ball three three balls one strike Byrnes waiting around in hot water knows it then want this guy to get away from him so he asks Campanella again for the set of signs he splashed takes him goes to the top of the stretch here's the three one pitches the runners breaks there's a bounding ball deep behind third ball that hoke knocks down a three two count on Gilmick Dougal the runners were breaking that time on three one so case is playing this one down to the hill isn't it not on MacDougall three balls and two strikes two on two down last of the third no score the Yankees own the only two base hits in the ball game byrnes great big heave and a sigh out on the mound goes to the top of the stretch checks his runners particularly Rizzuto at second the pitches made as the runners break hit down the hook at third and the ball hits the runner it's the runner Phil Rizzuto so that is going to be the third out in the inning MacDougall will be given credit for a single the Rizzuto hit for the battered ball is the third out there were no runs in the third inning for the New York Yankees they did come up with a pair of base hits and there were two men left off there were no errors the score at the end of three look for nothing the Yankees have nothing well this ball game here continues to be just about as tight as it possibly can be and in the fourth inning and a nothing nothing ball game Duke Snyder will start it off for Brooklyn well the Yankees no runs three hits or Brooklyn no runs no hits Tommy Byrne comes up to see if he can't continue to spin the web folks are sitting around let's wait for something to happen and it will Byrne is ready Duke Snyder up there he's over one swings on his first pitch and it's a high foul ball off the first base line scarring over to the crowd cannot get it it's back about three rows strike one the count on Snyder he retired to side in the first inning but rolling down to the right side in second baseman Billy Martin threw him out Duke playing today with a vanaged knee despite the fact he's suffering with it he made a statement last night that if he couldn't walk he would play well he's playing Byrne comes in with an overhand fast ball and Snyder checks his swing in time and takes a ball pitches low on outside Duke started to chase that one on a check immediately looked to see how far he'd gone around the count on Duke one ball and one strike Byrne relieving the pressure with a great big sigh starts his motion delivers one-on-one to the Duke an overhand curve one and a missed first strike two Snyder will be followed by Campanella and by Carl Farillo so it's sort of the meat end of the batting order for Brooklyn quick three Snyder was up there really waving the willow that'll be the first strikeout for Byrne in the game that'll give him a total of seven in this series but only Campanella comes up there he's a fellow that pretty much knows what he wants and how to go about getting it Campi's got a lot of interest and he can get what he wants alright it's natural that he shaves with the up to the minute with that super speed riser takes a curve it's outside sir Campi knows one thing that's shaving luxury the one-on-one delivery to Campanella swung on there's a land drive hit over third base down into the corner Campanella is down a second Elson Hart comes up in the ball Campi's going to keep on on going the ball gets away from Howard and Campi moves into second let's see how the score puts this one up on the board Campanella being given a double into the left field corner there's the first Brooklyn hit the number one off Burn that'll be the sixth hit he's given up in series play this year the batter is Paul Perillo so with one off Campanella is in scoring position at second and Paul Perillo who sent a fly ball to left field to Elston Howard his first time up that was in the second Paul Perillo coming up at game time he was hitting in the series at 333 Tommy Burn in his first spot of the afternoon delivers the plate and Perillo swings on a curveball and drills this one down the left field line to the crowd foul I'd had to distance but was pulled too much that sort of electrified everybody here at the Yankee stadium this will be a battle this afternoon and regardless of which side of the fence you happen to be on you'll be able to see good plays good strategy on both sides of the fence and you'll see determination competition competitiveness you'll see it all here this afternoon Tommy Burn wants a new ball to work with now as he faces Paul Perillo on the 0-1 count Campanella who runs a little faster than most people think he can steps off at second Tommy Burn back to visit the rosin bag before pitching to Paul Perillo Paul has three runs batted in in the series leans over the plate sticks that chinny is up Burn delivers to him a fastball trying outside one ball and one strike Campanella drives away from second his lead isn't big Burn checks him then delivers a plate and Perillo takes under the knee two balls one strike one up one on no score Burn is set delivers and Perillo leans into a slow pitch that stays outside as he doesn't offer he takes ball three three balls and one strike Campanella going back to get a spike full of second base Burn wandering around the mound looks at him Perillo digging back in with that straight away stance gets his feet planted spikes ground in Burn up on top delivers there's another line shot into the crowd Paul on back of left field 3-2 count on Carl Perillo Tommy Burn massaging up a new ball Carl Perillo leads that bat down on the rubber home plate measures off Campanella takes his lead at second Burn is ready the 3-2 pitch to Perillo fastball swing on dribbled up towards shortstop Perillo's gonna have to hurry he comes up to the ball makes his play first they have Perillo and going over to third base is Roy Campanella and before Hodges comes up there let's quickly pause for station identification this is Mutual the radio network for all America this is our helper along with Bob Neil back at Yankee Stadium ready to continue down to fourth inning Casey Stengel comes charging out of the Yankee dugout he wants to talk to Tommy Burn for a minute give him some instructions probably about how to go with Hodges whom he walked back in the second inning so Hodges coming up for his first official at bat the potential tie breaking run is on the third base in Roy Campanella there are two down and on top of the fourth inning Tommy Burn has given up just one base hit that was Roy Campanella's double but with one out here in the fourth inning Roy hit it into the left field corner Gil Hodges standing in he's wrapped in three runs for the Dodgers in the series has hit one home run Burn checks his runner at third the left hander pumps and throws and Hodges takes a curve it's bending over the fist for a strike Burn is ready comes on on one of the plate with a soft curve in for called strike two right across at the waist Hodges just turns and walks away no balls, two strikes the count on first baseman Gil Hodges Roy Campanella down at third Gil McDougall is back to his fielding depth he's not holding campy on they're playing for the out go to delivery Burn throws it's taken just high for ball one one ball, two strikes Hodges a pretty good plate guardian Burn who has found control ready to pitch one and two delivers, pitches swung on there's a high fly ball hit the foul off the third baseline that'll go back into the second tier out of play Count holds on Hodges, had a ball and two strikes Gil McDougall coming back to his fielding depth behind third he's just about three steps off the line Rizzuto deep in the hole at shortstop outfield found around the left and playing deep for Hodges the big hole in the outfield is in right center and occasionally Hodges hits in that direction now Gil is set and so is Tommy Burn Jackie pitcher checks his runner at third Campanella delivers one and two to the plate to Hodges last ball swung on hit on the left field, it's in for baseman Roy Campanella comes on the score and the Brooks lead it one to nothing Gil Hodges gets his fourth RBI of the series and gets the second hit here this afternoon on the ball burn the hit which costs Tommy around the batter coming up is Don Hope with two down Hodges at first retired to side in the second by hitting a bounding ball to Billy Martin at second and being thrown out Hope digging in he's a belligerent type of ball player this Hope takes a curve ball it stays up above the letters that's ball one Billy Martin, Don Hope, Don Zimmer, they're all in the same mold same type of ball player curve ball swung on the Hope and missed first strike I guess when a fellow really wants to play baseball really wants to get out here and dig and fight and try he can be labeled very quickly the smart one on the right side of that Yankee infield has really been something, hasn't he now the one-one delivery by Tommy Burns and it comes to Hope the ball swung on and hit down to third up with it is Gil McGoogle throws unerringly the first down the inning is open well that's how here in the fourth inning for Brooklyn however they break the barrier one run two tips in the inning, there were no Yankee errors one dodger left on to strand three now and going to bat four times for at the end of three and a half innings of play, Brooklyn one the New York Yankees, nothing facing a deficit of one run the New York Yankees come to bat here in the last half of the fourth inning Frank Bauer and Moose Cowren Johnny Padres who has given up three base hits to the Yankee so far is ready to face Yogi whom he got in the second inning on a line drive to center field to Yoke Snyder Padres delivers and Barra heading left hand it takes a fastball drilled under the knees for ball one the right side of the infield bolt of the line and deep the outfield way around the right and very deep the big hole in the outfield is down the left field line for Barra fastball and Yogi after it hits a high pop up out into center field coming over for Jim Gilliam Duke Snyder's there and it's both a lot of ball to drop Yogi Barra winding up a second Barra popped one out into left center field Duke Snyder was calling for it all the way and Jim Gilliam coming over also kept right on coming and at the last minute then Duke started to keep him running into his left fielder stayed off and at the very last but second Gilliam fell away and the ball dropped between the two of them for a double so Yogi Barra is on at second base representing the tying run for the New York Yankee and that will be hit number four of Padres and the batter is Hank Bauer so now the clutch has come as far as Padres is concerned Hank Bauer standing in he's grounded out to Don Zimmer his only time up today Padres ready delivers toy Bauer swings on this hits it out to right field Carparello after he's right under it makes the catch Yogi Barra has to come back to second Carparello whips that ball into second baseman Zimmer one out last half of the fourth inning the tying run still riding at second base Bill Scowern Yankee first baseman who drilled a double to right field in the second inning becomes the Yankee batsman Moose standing in Johnny Padres checks his runner back at second base Yogi Barra looks down at the Moose comes in with his first pitch and overhand let up high and outside for ball one Padres ready the one old delivery soft curve swung on by Scowern and miss nice strike one Moose started to go for that pitch long before it got to him and he tried to slow up but for that time it was too late one ball one strike it's a count on Scowern Yogi Barra stepping off at second representing the tying run this one nothing ball game Padres checks him throws to the plate, a great hand hitter swings on a pitch and hits it down to the right side up with it is Zimmer his only play will be the first base they get Scowern and moving over to third as Yogi Barra so here's the same situation swapped up for the Dodgers in the fourth inning they had Campanella at third base with two men down and Hodges got him home with a single now let's see what Bob Serv is able to do for the Yankees Serv retired to side in the second with Scowern at second base when he hit down to shortstop reach through him out so he's over one Padres delivers fastball way inside ball one Barra hugging pretty tight there to third base Don Hoek playing just about two steps behind the bag and about a step and a half off the line now he comes over about three steps off the line Padres delivers Serv takes high no strikes doing nothing count on Bob Serv two down last to the fourth worked on leading one to nothing Bob Serv has a count of two balls no strikes Padres delivers to him soft curve and serve after it hits a long one but it's foul down the left field line up to the second tier two and one Padres grinding a new ball around the palms of his hands comes up to the top of the rubber now looks at Yogi Barra at third delivers to one to the plate to serve he swings on it and pats it up not into left center field it goes and reaches after this one everyone stand away from the P-weeney's got it Padres gets out of the inning a run one base hit there were no errors one man was left on Yankees have now stranded four and going to bat four times this far at the end of four full innings of play Brooklyn won and the Yankees have nothing Tommy Burn now one run behind paces the Brooklyn Dodgers in the top of the fifth inning will have Zimmer up there followed by Johnny Padres and then the top of the batting order and Jim Gilliam going into the fifth inning four innings totals read Brooklyn one run two hits no errors Yankees no runs four hits and no errors Don Zimmer came up in the third inning as the leadoff man and grounded out to shortstop so he's over one he goes to the crotch now to pump the son for Tommy Burn to get this fifth inning started Zimmer standing in forward at the plate closed stance Burn delivers him curveball it's over strike one at the beginning of the season little Zimmer was going after those curveballs quite a lot but he's been laying off them Burn tries another slow curve and Jim goes after this one doesn't get it strike two the O2 delivery to the Brooklyn second baseman another curveball with his hip follow right down to the right of the plate nothing in two on Don Zimmer not at E right now on the diamond is Tommy Burn the wearer of number 23 pitching to Don Zimmer the wearer of number 23 see right now I don't feel as though they have anything akin at all O2 delivery from Tommy Burn to Don Zimmer will be coming right up Tommy starts his pumping motion the left hand to throw another curveball this one's outside one ball two strikes Burn one and two is the plate on Zimmer with his fastball and Zim swings in this is for strike three one out in the top of the fifth inning that's a second strike out for Burn another strikeout victim of Snyder round of applause for Johnny Padres as he comes on Padres committed the second out in the third inning for Brooklyn when he rolled to the right side and Martin took his bounding ball and tossed him out left hand hitter standing in one out nobody on top of the fifth Brooks won the Yankees nothing fastball swung on by Padres and popped up right down the third baseline midway between Holman third in foul territory and McDougal handles it without any trouble whatsoever so that's the second out Jim Gilliam rolled a short in the first inning for the first out and then came up in the third and walked so he's over one two down the bases empty top of the fifth and Gilliam the batter hitting right handed one to nothing to score in favor of Brooklyn Stanley Burn bends the first pitch into Gilliam it's taken outside for ball one Gilliam working up on the handle of the bat and a fidgety with a two lays it up off his right shoulder burn one over the plate curve ball in for a strike one and one on Gilliam outfield straight away not too deep Elston Howard's the deepest of the outfielders playing straight away left Burn delivers one and one Gilliam swings on the pitch it's passed them on over to his right as Martin fix it out of the dirt throws the first and Gilliam is down all that's all here in the fifth inning for the Brooklyn Dodgers they go quietly no runs no hits no errors nobody left on once strike out in the inning for Burn score at the end of four and a half now it is Brooklyn won and the Yankees have nothing well we've certainly had a whale of a ball game here right up to this moment a one to nothing in favor in favor of the Brooklyn Dodgers there'll be more fireworks and plenty of action for the remaining of this one I'm very happy to be able to turn the microphone over to a good sidekick Bob Neil who'll be coming on and Bob saw that you had that cold and feel badly today but I'm sure the action will warm you up buddy so come on we'll all listen thank you Al and we're certainly going to be watching every pitch now as Elston Howard steps in podders the left hander delivers there's a drive deep to the left field going back for Junior Gilliam still going back he reaches up he's got it and Elston Howard really started to warm things up quickly as he drives deep to Junior Gilliam in front of the wall out in left field well that shook up a few folks including Johnny Padres who heaves a couple of big sighs out there to make sure he's still breathing because Elston Howard made a bid to tie up this ball game and the Dodgers are leading one to nothing Yankees have four hits three of which were legitimate one was slightly tainted when Duke Snyder and Junior Gilliam played Alphonse and Gaston in center field and the ball dropped behind him Snyder moving in waving Fort Gilliam trying to help out knowing that the center field of the Dodgers had a bad knee and apparently didn't hear Snyder call and then Duke feeling Gilliam coming on backed off and the ball dropped but no harm was done as Padres was able to get rid of Bowers Cowern and Serve and here's Tommy Byrne who struck out his last time up Tommy's a good woodsman that's on the left side the Yankees have Byrne up there now with Rizzotto on deck and the pitch is a curveball outside corner strike one the Dodgers have Duke Snyder rounding right center field deep in right field is Carl Frillo ready as Padres deals a curveball it's on the inside corner strike two so Johnny Padres who is 23 years old working out there as if he had ice water running through his veins and he's pitching to another veteran who has pitched outstanding ball not only in this game but in his other performance and the two strike pitch is a curveball outside taken by Tommy Byrne one and two squirts out of Roy Campanella's and Tommy Byrne picks it up takes a look quickly and hands it off to Campi Frankie Corsetti coaching down the third for the Yankees, Bill Dickey at first the outfield around the right interacting with his left hand batter up is Junior Gellium and the pitch is a curve strike and for the second time Tommy Byrne is called out on strikes and at his strike at number three for young Johnny Padres so the Yankees have two men out and their leadoff batter, Phil Rizzotto steps in in his other appearance against Johnny Padres Rizzotto in the other game and he comes at bat and he is playing in his 52nd World Series game the little guy is the right hand batter Padres comes in there with a fast ball and grabs all the left side waiting for it as Hokey lets Rizzotto run he pumps his throw over, he's got it all in the fifth inning the Yankees get out in one, two, three order no runs, no hits, no errors nobody left going and at the end of five full innings he played the score, Brooklyn won and New York Yankees nothing doesn't amazingly sound like Henry Aldrich I hope you will bear with me because somewhere along the line we have picked up one of those dandy New York goals no runs, four hits and no errors for the Yankees and one run, two hits and no errors for the Brooklyn Dodgers and leading off for Brooklyn in the top of the sixth inning will be the captain of the Dodgers Pee Wee Reese, he has no hits in two times of bat today in his last time he had two for four and in the series prior to today in 23 times of bat had seven hits so Pee Wee right hand batter steps in Tommy Byrne to left hander looking into Yogi Byrne and the off field has Bob serve a few steps over in the right center deep in the right field is Mike Barr and around and left is Elston Howard at the right side of the infield playing back McDougal comes in two steps to third in the pitch Bob Byrne is a curve ball strike Tommy Byrne and Padres have been almost automatic coming in with that ball they both know where that plate is and they both have been hitting it here's the pitch and it's a liner out over the serve and he's got the ball and making the turn of first and holding on is Pee Wee Reese and he's armed with a single so the Dodgers have come up with their third hit off Tommy Byrne and for the first time in today's ball game they have the lead off batter on and in there now is Duke Snyder playing despite a trick knee one that he injured yesterday and the Yankee outfield pulls to the right going back near the right field wall Bob serve pulling around in right center Billy Martin is deep at second Rizzuto is shaded over towards second and McDougal is in close to third here's the pitch to Snyder Shorten's up takes a curve outside Walker apparently showing signs of dropping a bump moving Pee Wee Reese down to second with the Dodgers leading one to nothing and time a wasting in this the seventh and the game of the World Series because all else now only contributes and this is the one that decides who's the champion Rizz leads away from first and Byrne didn't like it and steps off and so Rizz goes back scouring holding against the runner first a strike and a strike Duke looked as if he was going to not take a swing he took the pitch a curve snapped over the inside corner it's one ball one strike Billy Herman coaching down a third relaying the signs from manager Wal Austin at first place is Jake Butler and Pee Wee Reese holding close at first as Byrne looks over the Duke is at back and Byrne again takes his foot off as he thinks Rizz may be going Pee Wee goes back Rizz leads away here's the pitch coming to Snyder he drops the bun along the third baseline in this burn makes it through to first and the tag and the move is not by Skyron Snyder went by first base he bumped the arm of Bill Skyron and the ball was dropped in all hands of safe the bun was a beauty about 10 feet away from the plate it's an error charged to Bill Skyron and then quickly to fill the ball was Tommy Byrne no chance to get Rizz throw to first Skyron who had moved in also for the bun trying to hustle back and as Snyder went by him he made the tag but the ball was bumped out of his hands and all hands are safe and Bob Grimm the right hander goes to work in the Yankee bullpen so there's a conference out there on the Yankee Mount Tommy Byrne, Gilgitara, Gilmick Dougal and Roy Campanella standing back at the plate is well waiting to see what the boys are going to do Campi knows how Skyron feels because in an earlier game Skyron came plowing into the plate Campi had him up and then tagging him while the ball got knocked out of his hand Snyder got credit for his sacrifice and it was an error charged to Bill Skyron Rizz on second Snyder on first nobody out Roy Campanella the batter the left foot pointed down at third base line Gilmick Dougal moves in two steps off the edge of the infield grass Byrne's ready to pitch his bun and there is Byrne coming in makes the throw and he's going to go and he's going to go and he's going to go and he's going to go and he's going to go and he's going to go and he's going to go and he's going to go and there is Byrne coming in makes the throw to first and the throw is taken by Martin and not at first the sacrifice is good so Campi sacrifices the runners over the play goes one to four while we wait for for all that's paused and seconds for station identification this is Mutuo the radio network for all America the manager of the Yankees Casey Stengel is coming out to have a chat with Tommy Byrne standing there and old Casey digging around in that mound the Dodgers going to a very interesting weapon the bun and of course with the error it enabled the Dodgers to keep two men on and then Campanella with a good bun sacrifices two men over he's got Rhys on third he's got Snyder on a second and Casey Stengel is going to go with his picture he's going to leave Tommy Byrne in there with Carl Frillo right hand batter coming up Carl Frillo in the first game that Byrne pitched was 0-3 put Carl Frillo on and pitched to Gil Hodges so there is ball one and the next one is ball two and the third one is ball three way outside and Yogi Bara has to picking up the stuff to get outside to grab it so Rhys is on a third Snyder is on a second and with one more pitch call for a little bit first and there he goes so that is the third walk charged to Tommy Byrne the Yankees have committed their second error of the series and the bases are loaded one out we are in the top of the sixth inning the Dodgers lead one to nothing and here is Gil Hodges who prior to today had six hits in 22 times against Byrne in his previous game he was hitless in three times and back today he has walked the single so he is one for one he drove in the first Dodger and the only Dodger run and here comes Casey Stengel back out in a slow trot as Gil McDougall moves out to the mound the wind is blowing from right to left field and Casey Stengel is going to make a change so Tommy Byrne will not get a fixed to Gil Hodges Byrne has worked five and one third innings so far he has been charged with one run and three hits and he had two strikeouts and he walked three and if the runners on base, Reese, Snyder or Frillo should score they will be charged to Tommy Byrne so Casey Stengel takes his deep end of the bullpen and making that long walk out is Bob Grimm Grimm has been in two games he has worked seven innings given up seven hits four runs, four bases on ball seven strikeouts he was charged with one loss and his earn run average was 5.14 Hodges who will face Grimm single twice struck out once against Bob Grimm in game number five so Gil Hodges grouped around that boy for the Dodgers and a couple of his teammates discusses how he thinks he is going to hit against Bob Grimm and the Dodgers have a chance here to bust loose and Casey Stengel after talking to Tommy Byrne Byrne mostly to Bob Grimm with his runners on third, second and first and Reese is going to have a chat with the next spotter, Gil Hodges if he wasn't in the hand, Tommy Byrne gots his lead that was Tommy Byrne and now we have Gil Hodges standing alongside waiting as Bob Grimm takes his warm-ups sun shining brightly and the shadows now have reached out to the mound and they are halfway between first and second and they have right field over to right center field shadowed out. The Dodgers have yet to win a game in this the 1955 World Series in Yankee Stadium and the Yankees of course with three victories along with the Dodgers and the Yankees are fighting for this one because this one decides who wears the crown says he's all set to go and Grimm says he's ready to go and stepping in is Gil Hodges number 14 right hand batter Grimm looking in with three men on one man out, top of the sixth inning the Dodgers won, the Yankees nothing he's ready and his wind-up in the first pitch is a fast ball like one ball get a little rosin looks in the yogi barrel he's ready to work and here she comes then it's a curve that breaks outside one-on-one one ball and one strike and the Dodgers have the bases loaded Reese on a third Snyder's on a second Froh's on a first and Grimm who has inherited a problem passed over by Tommy Byrne starts in his wind-up here's the one-one pitch the field going over Bob serves, field going over and he reaches up, he makes a catch and here comes Peeley Reese the throw is in the second base and Snyder goes to third and the Dodgers lead two to nothing as Hodges with a sacrifice fly in the right center field drives in the second run for Brooklyn and we have two out and the batter now is Don Hope so that run is charged to Tommy Byrne facing Bob Grimm for his first time right-hand batter, Ben at the knees stands about halfway deep in the batter's box Grimm looks over to first looks over to third base to see that Duke Snyder is not moving around too much he's ready and spins a fastball it's one-on-a-miss one strike serve moves over into right center field about five or six steps Gil McDougal playing about five steps off the line moves in one step now he feels a fastball that's dropped by Yogi Barre can't find it, so I'm holding him and going down to second is Pillow and he's in there the ball bounced in the dirt and bounced away from Yogi Barre and Yogi was looking for it and is charged as a wild pitch so the Dodgers have two men in scoring position with two out in the sixth inning and they're leading two to nothing Duke Snyder on a third Paul Pillow's on a second and Bob Grimm is pitching to Don Hope there's two out Hope takes in with his right foot one ball, one strike Grimm looks into Yogi Barre and it was wind up in the 1-1 delivery it's a fastball inside almost got away from Don Hope Hope moved back quickly and out of there because that fastball was coming right at him and Grimm would shout and look out as the ball slipped out of his hand so it's two and one with two out to one and I just lead two to nothing and we're in the top of the sixth Grimm pitching very carefully to Hope looks in, is ready and the 2-1 delivery is a fastball inside ball three so it's three balls and one strike Brooklyn Dodgers leading in the ball game two to nothing and they out feel rather right as Bob Grimm looks to third Duke Snyder leading away and the pitch is on its way a fastball, ball four George Shuba is coming up now to bat for Don Zimmer during the regular season he batted 274 and he stands up there, slightly open stance the base was loaded on third base, Duke Snyder on second base his par fellow at first base is Don Hope and George Shuba batting for Don Zimmer left hand batted in the first pitch by Grimm as a curveball high outside there is a look out to the Yankee bullpen as Bob Grimm finds himself deeper in trouble than the one he inherited the serve is around in right center field deep in right field runners lead away, the pitch is swung on the ground ball to the right side Billy Mark moves over, is taken by Scourney scoops to Grimm, he steps on first and that's all for the Dodgers and the play goes three to one so for Brooklyn one run on one hit one error and three men were left on and at the end of five and a half Brooklyn two, and the Yankees nothing Sandy Amarose is going out to play left field for the Dodgers and coming in to play second base Junior Gilliam, and the first man up is Billy Martin and he has like one Martin has one hit and two times at bat and he deals a passball outside one ball, one strike this is the last of the sixth inning Martin single in the third and he played out to left field in the first so he has number two on the day and seven hits out 22 times at bat he outfields right away left side of the infield has hoped two steps off the edge of the grass, the pitch a passball it's inside, you have made a correction on the count and Billy Martin stands in there with a three ball count the next pitch is a outside, third ball, ball four and the Yankees get the first man up on that is walk number two given up by Johnny and manager Wal Austin makes the walk out from the Dodger dug out to the mound and out in the bullpen for the Dodgers is Clem Labine and Don Besson Wal Austin standing there patiently talking and Pee Wee Rees starts to come out Padres has given up only four hits he has walked only two men he has struck out three but the Dodgers are leading two to nothing and with manager Wal Austin having a bullpen full of pitches he wants to take no chance because the seeding is going to end today and there is no point in saving pitchers for tomorrow as there won't be anybody here tomorrow you know McDougal is in there now he struck out in the third inning he is single but the ground ball that he hit hit Bill Rizzuto who is moving into third Martin on at first the pitch to McDougal makes a fast ball strike the outfield for the Dodgers straight away and here is the pitch by Padres a lead up curve that is headed along the third base line Padres coming over makes the ball to first too late with a beautiful bump along the third base line is in at second with McDougal beating out his bump and going to first Martin who walked moves to second McDougal beats out a bump and is on at first and the Yankees have two men on and that is the fifth hit off Johnny Padres though Gill McDougal today has two hits and three times of that and here is Yogi Barra Yogi with a double in two times up hit a fly ball in center field in the fourth inning and when Duke Snyder and Junior Gilliam got their signals busted dropped in there for a double he flyed out to center field in the second inning and here we reach comes in to talk to us pitcher Johnny Padres talk about excitement well we got it here today because this is the big game of the world series this is the one who decides which team is going to be the world champion Billy Martin scrolls away from second on at first is Gill McDougal right side of the infield is back Yogi just moving in looking for a bump and here is a pitch to Barra the curve ball outside Yogi Barra following the course of that ball very carefully looks down to Frankie Cressetti coaching a third the outfield is around the right Duke Snyder in right center follow deep in right field high just playing even with first and playing in front of the runner the pitch is swung on a fly ball hitting the left field Junior Gilliam was pulled around going hard heading way over near the foul and he reaches up and he's got the ball Gill McDougal double for Yogi Barra hit a fly ball hit the corner in left field and Sandy Ambrose who had taken over for Junior Gilliam came pounding over right near the line grabbed the ball and fired it back to first and the relay was in time to get Gill McDougal at first base the relay man was Peewee Reese for those 7-6-3 and there's two out and Billy Martin's on at second and the Dodgers are protecting their two run lead the batters Hank Bauer ready to work ball delivered inside for ball one great defensive play by Sandy Ambrose who defied all odds by making the catch and then alertly pumping that ball into Reese who firing it over the first base the double off Gill McDougal here's the one ball pitch to Bauer swing in a roller foul Johnny Padres the 23 year old left hander for the Dodgers who got the Dodgers off a losing streak after they'd lost the first two games to the Yankees working here today for the Brooklyn Dodgers and trying to serve up to manager Walt Olson the first World Series victory for the Brooklyn team the outfield straight away Billy Martin leads the way for the 1-1 pitches swing in a miss and it's 1-2 Sandy Ambrose in left field Duke Snyder is in center and Carl Frillo is in right field Junior Gilliam has replaced Don Zimmer at second base Johnny Padres digs around a little bit on the mound to make sure that it's all smoothed out where he comes down with that foot the Dodgers have two runs off three hits the Yankees no runs five hits one error here's the one two pitch to Bauer let up curve fouls it back and the current remains unchanged one and two I don't believe a right handed outfielder could have made a catch of that ball hit by Yogi Barra Sandy Ambrose using his left hand as an aide reached right in the corner and just got his glove on her so the wind continues to blow from right to left field and the Dodger hearts are singing as they hold the 2-0 lead the 1-2 pitch to Bauer fastball inside so it's two balls two strikes Johnny Padres out there trying to pitch very carefully as Billy Martin is out there on second base he's got two out he's ready the 2-2 pitch curve balls one on hit foul in the upper deck back of the Yankee dugout and the new ball goes out to Padres who takes the opportunity to take a little stroll back of that rubber the outfield straight away for the Brooklyn Dodgers with Snyder and Sutter Ambrose and left and around and right is Carl Frillo ready now as the 2-2 pitch and there's a curveball shortstop, Breeze moves in for it makes his throw and it is in time for the out of first going to 6th inning for the New York Yankees no runs, one hit there were no errors by the Dodgers and one man was left on and so at the end of 6th full innings of play the score Brooklyn 2, New York Yankees nothing Friar Pollock is no good 1, 2, 3 and pass, make hay to get to the Brooklyn half 7th inning now with the Brooklyn Dodgers leading by a score of 2-0 the Dodgers have 2 runs from 3 hits and they've committed no errors the Yankees have no runs 5 hits and they have booted 1 Johnny Padres getting a big hand as he comes up there, this young fellow has certainly exhibited great courage for in the 6th inning he had given up a walk to Martin he had given up a one single to McDougal and then some alert defensive play the Dodgers cut him out of the jam he's hitless in two times at bat Bob Grimm on the mound for the Yankees delivers, swung on, a ground ball on the right side one hop, Billy Martin's got it let's Padres run and has his throw burn time and there was no question about Martin there was just a question of when he would throw the ball and the batter is Junior Gilliam Junior is hitless in two times at bat he walked in the 3rd inning he bounced out 2nd to 1st short to 1st in the 1st inning Gilliam went into today's game batting 300 in the series had 6 hits in 20 times at bat against Tommy Byrne, the last time Byrne pitched he had won for 4 but Bob Grimm is in there now for the Yankees he came on in the 6th inning and he delivers to Gilliam, swung on, a drive deep in the right field, coming on as Hank Barr he traps the ball, it's in there for a base hit up now is the captain Peewee Rees, he has one hit in 3 times at bat, the Dodgers have a runner at 1st and they have one out and this is the top of the 7th inning and the Dodgers are leading to the nothing Yogi Barrock is out to have a chat with Bob Grimm, they have had their meeting and now Yogi comes back Rees singled in the 6th inning, he lined out to center field in the 3rd and he flyed out to center in the 1st so he has one hit in 3 times at bat, Grimm checks out the runner at 1st base, Junior Gilliam he is ready and his pitch is on the way and there goes Gilliam and throws down a second moving over as a result of the Tigers' meds he's out, the player goes 2-6 Junior Gilliam tries to steal a base on Yogi Barrock, while we wait for the next pitch to come on up to Peewee Rees let's pause 10 seconds 4 station identification, this is mutual the radio network for all America Peewee Rees is back in there fastball and Donny goes as it has moved in very close to his head one ball and one strike with two out and the Dodgers lose their runner, as Yogi Barrock with a good throw down to Phil Rees who had moved over to cover second is in time to get Gilliam trying to move in there, here's the 1-1 delivery a fastball, it's a little high two balls, one strike 2-1 has been a great defensive ability for the Brooklyn Dodgers and with his bat he has also helped the cause, has had 7 hits and 23 times a bat part of the day a fastball strike 2 balls, 2 strikes, Peewee steps out to get a little dirt and Bob Grimm does a little work on that baseball with those big strong hands of his Bob serve, moves over in right center field a few steps and around in right is Hank Barr and in left field is Elston Howard the pitch is a swing and a miss strike 3 oh Bob Grimm that's a hold of the Dodger captain strikes him out and in the 7th inning for the Brooklyn Dodgers no runs, 1 hit no errors and nobody left on at the end of 6 and a half innings to play the score, Brooklyn 2 the New York Yankees nothing in the 7th inning for the New York Yankees it will be Bill Scowern, Bob serve and Elston Howard or if Casey Stengel decides to make a change the fans start scooting out from the left field wall out of the direction center field he's holding up a program and apparently he wants the Duke to autograph it for him and the Duke has got his hand up on his chin he's probably saying to him my friend you are going to probably get one of the quickest exits that's ever been provided in Yankee stadium umpire Bill Summer out there so a great router Duke Snyder pays the supreme penalty for going out on the playing field eviction 62,465 are on hand here today to watch this game and they're seeing because the Brooklyn Dodgers are leading 2-0 they have been able to get only 4 hits off the pitching of Tommy Byrne and Bob Grimm the Yankees have been able to get 5 hits off Johnny Padres but they have not been able to knock him off that mound so Padres waits patiently as the men in blue dispose of the fan who rushed out on the field the outfield spread away Johnny Padres the left hander is about ready to work Bill Scowern is in there first pitch fastball high outside Scowern has one hit and two times a bad he double in the second inning Padres ready to pitch fastball on the outside corner for strike one and one one ball and one strike Bill Scowern the strong man of the New York Yankees wearing number 14 standing deep in the right hand batter's box the outfield straight away for the Brooklyn Dodgers Padres ready to work and here's the 1-1 pitch there's a swing in the ground ball the left side coming in his Reese he's got a hurry gets his throw over he's got him there's one out as Pee Wee Reese comes in quickly scoops that ball up and Scowern can move down that line he used to bust those lines playing football and he knows that you have to puddle your feet and he plays ahead of that throw and Reese who had to come in to that slow roller fired that ball over there like a rocket Bob served a big strong man swings from that closed stance swings on the first pitch and back up on top into the stance pursuanty that was not the fastball of Padres that was one of fine jet aircraft of the United States Air Force here's the pitch she let up curve a ground ball left side again takes it on the off hop gets the fire over there and it's time for the off so Pee Wee was really pouring the cold of the boiler as he pumped that ball over to pick off Bob Serve who can also scoot down that line and Johnny Padres comes in with that let up pitch just as if he's coming in with that fastball about three quarters and having the same delivery kind of fools him here's Elston Howard takes the fastball high ball one takes a look down to Frankie Corsetti coaching it third this is the last half of the seventh inning two out the Yankees trail the Dodgers are leading two to nothing the seventh game of the World Series and it was wired up as Padres the left hand the one ball pitch swing and a smash down the left side by out in the left field it's a base hit Elston Howard picks off the sixth hit of Johnny Padres on a solid smash through the left side the Pee Wee Reeves moved to his right fore dove fore but couldn't come up with Mickey Mantle it's gonna bat for Bob Grimm Mickey Mantle who has certainly been handicapped with muscle problems has been in only two games he's been a bat nine times he has two hits one home run one RBI he has struck out twice his batting average in this the 1955 World Series is 222 Padres in the third game which he pitched against the Yankees and which Mantle is in and uh dished up a home run to Mantle there's a swing and a foul coming back up on top of the bat but that was the only blow that Mickey got off Johnny Padres and so Johnny now realizes that with the Dodgers owning a two to nothing lead he's got his work cut out for him Elston Howard jumps off to a lead at first and the pitch is a let up curve outside one ball and one strike two out last the seventh two to nothing Mickey Mantle batting from the right side with a close stand standing deep in the right hand batter's box his right foot anchored right on that back line here's a pitch by Potter's a fast ball one ball popped up to the left side Pee Wee Reese moved back on the edge of the outfield grass still moving back founds his glove reaches he's got it Pee Wee Reese the captain of the Dodgers and for the Yankees in the seventh inning no runs one hit no errors and one Yankee left on base and at the end of seven innings applied to score Brooklyn to New York Yankees nothing we are going to have a new pitcher for the Yankees and it looks like Bob Turley we had Tommy Burns starting and he lasted five and one third innings and Tommy gave up both runs Bob Grimm who came on in the sixth worked one in two third innings and he gave up no runs he however was nicked for one hit and he did not get into too much trouble he had one strike out and it was a big one for him Pee Wee Reese so Bob Turley who throws those bullets comes on and now Halper here has compiled the total attendance for the series fours 362,000 310 of the finest baseball fans are representative of the finest baseball fans in the world have jammed their way here into Yankee Stadium in Abbotsfield and they have seen a dandy and millions of people all over the world have listened to and watched the World Series as another wonderful gesture of the great folks of the Gillette Safety Razor Company of Boston here's Duke Snyder step again in the eighth inning for the Brooklyn Dodgers left hand batter Bob Turley the bullet thrower up there in the mound for the New York Yankees and Turley looks into Yogi Barra the outfields around the right and deep right side the infields deep Turley comes in with a fastball that swung on and popped up coming back out of play foul looking into Yogi Barra as Duke Snyder keeps flexing that bat and Duke can probably like to wind this thing up with one big blast he takes a curve that's in that first strike strike two now to Duke Snyder wearing number four and the Dodgers leading two to nothing this is the seventh game the final game this is it the World Series will be decided here in the shadows of Yankee Stadium Turley delivers with a two strike pitch and it's strike three ball it was a fastball the outside corner broke away from this left hand batter and Bob Turley who made a start and had a little unhappiness in not getting by the Brooklyn Dodgers he's out there on the mound in relief and the Yankees still hopeful with the Dodgers only leading by two runs the batter is Roy Campanella he has one hit in two official times of bat sacrifices last time fastball swing at a miss and he really missed that one and Turley who is pitching out of those shadows and with a light background with the folks out in center field seated out in the warm sunshine gets a fastball inside and backing away is Roy Campanella just sitting up here and watching that fastball come in from Turley I doubt whether I would want to bat against Turley if I could sit back here in the radio coop use a bat about 60 feet long here's the 1-1 pitch fastball swung on a fly ball hit into short left field Alson Howard with his glasses down trotting in founds his glove and he makes a catch throws two out in the 8th inning for the Dodgers and Carl Frullo is stepping up Carl was passed intentionally in the 6th inning he bounced out short to 1st in the 4th and he flyed to left field in the 2nd so he's 0 for 2 today he has had 8 hits in 24 times at bat fire to the day so he's 8 for 26 with 2 official charges for plate duty here in today's game Bob Surv moves around in right center field Charlie comes in with that fastball inside for ball 1 there's a big hole open in left center around in right is Hank Bauer they're figuring that no one and I mean no one will be able to get around on today's fastball he's ready and he deals another fastball it's one on hit into center field and Surv who was around in right center just moves in 3 steps and takes it and in the top of the 8th inning for the Brooklyn Dodgers no runs, no hits, no errors nobody left on at the end of 7 and a half things that play the score Brooklyn 2 and the Yankees nothing this is West Brooklyn Boris with news from PaperMate of a significant advance in the science of writing in my years of news reporting I've had

only pen that has the exclusive new ink formula with amazing Clogum the PaperMate piggyback Caprice is still just a dollar ninety-five Bill Resoudo leads off and he takes a fastball strike one the scooter is headless in two times a bat he walked in a third Johnny Padres ready deals a one strike pitcher fly ball hit over near the wall in left field going on to Sandy Amherst it is in the crowd well Sandy made one fantastic grab and the sixth inning of a fly ball hit out there by Yogi Barra and he turned it into a double play but this time he would have had to walk on the heads of about thirty people to even get out there after the ball Zulu line number ten pumps that bat Padres comes in with a fastball high there's a swoop and a foul and a speeding and a stop and it bounces back down stairs so the count is one and two and the Yankees are trailing by two runs and the Dodgers are holding a two to nothing lead the Dodgers have four hits they have played an errorless ball the Yankees have six hits they booted one one two pitch is outside of all two Johnny Padres looks around sees that all of his mates are in their respective positions and they are now he is ready and the two two pitch to Rizzuto a swung on going over Sandy Amherst and he moves on there he grabs the ball and he fires it in the second and Rizzuto slips and falls but gets back to first base Yankees have a runner on it first and Bill Rizzolo Billy Martin the batter Billy has one hit and two times a bad right hand batter Johnny Padres has given up seven hits he is ready swing and a miss right court this is the last of the eighth inning the Dodger bullpen is active with the right hander working out there Rizzuto leads away they pitch to Martin a swing and a slasher going on the right field coming hard is Bill Rizzolo he has got it and he does not make a throw but he runs the ball in Bill Rizzolo coming from deep right field as Billy Martin tried to hit the right and allow little Rizzuto to scoot all the way around the second and third if he could but Frillo makes a good grab took it all high and hold on to it so there is one out in the Yankee half of the eighth inning scores Brooklyn two New York nothing and the Yankees are now fighting with their backs to the wall is that I just hold a two run lead and here is the pitch and a curve ball inside for ball one to Gil McDougal McDougal has gone three times at bat beat out a bun hit a ground ball down the third baseline that hit Bill Rizzuto and was called out in strikes Padres checks Rizzuto delivers fastball it's low outside ball two two or nothing the outfield for the Dodgers straight away Duke Satter moves back two steps Sandy Amros around and left Padres looks to Rizzuto at first the pitch fastball strike call Johnny Padres who has won the World Series victory this year to his credit looks in to Roy Campanella two balls one strike to counter McDougal he comes with a curve outside ball three Johnny Padres pitched in 1953 in the fifth game of the World Series lost 11-7 and in the third game of the series 1-8-3 this is his first series appearance in the Yankee Stadium here's a 3-1 pitch to McDougal strike to call Gil McDougal who had started to take a short walk down the first baseline suddenly comes back and the count is full and it will be interesting to see what Scooter Rizzuto who's on it first will do with one out whether he will play it cautious or whether he'll be off and running Campanella with a great throwing arm Rizzuto leads away here's the pitch there he goes swing a ground ball left side left field it's a base hit here's Rizzuto going to third McDougal gets credit for a base hit that ball took a bad hop hit the unhooked in the shoulder bounce over his shoulder in the short left field and the Yankees have the tying runs on bases with one out and Yogi Berra scheduled to come up Wall Austin the manager of the Dodgers has come out and he's out there in the mound talking to his pitcher Johnny Padres to his catcher Roy Campanella and to his captain and shortstop Peewee Rizz that is the eighth hit off Johnny Padres the score is Brooklyn two and the New York Yankees nothing Joe Wall Austin now departs and apparently he's going to leave Padres in there Todd that was very quiet few moments ago is really starting to whip it up now Yogi Berra the left hand batter is in there one hit and three times the bat first pitch he takes the swing and he pops it out in the right center field Duke Snyder coming on Prolo moving in and he's got it and here's Rizz breaking for the plate that throws in and he goes back to third two out for the New York Yankees with two men on when the last half of the eighth inning here's Hank Bauer takes a fast ball it's slowing inside for ball one Bauer wearing number nine knocks the dirt out of his spikes the bat bounced out second to first short to first and fly out the right field he swings over closed stance Johnny Padres on the mound for the Dodgers checks his runners delivers a curve that's over first right Johnny heaves a big sigh goes back down off the mound back near the edge of the grass picks up a little rosin regardless of who wins this game you must salute Johnny Padres and his great heart courage that he's had to come in with a soft curve swing on foul back so that's one and two as Johnny Padres pitching his heart out for his Brooklyn Dodgers and trying to help his team win their first World Series engagement who have gone up against the Yankees before and have never come off with the runners and trying desperately here after coming back after losing the first two games to win three in a row and having the Yankees here yesterday tie it up the Dodgers lead two to nothing the Yankees have two on the one two pitch to bow fastball outside two and two it looked like Johnny Padres had a little slider on the end of that pitch but he didn't slide quite enough started outside of this right hand batter started to come in but didn't quite catch enough and it's two and two now feels straight away McTougal at first the pitch to bow swings to bow no runs for the Yankees bow and no errors and two men were left on and Johnny Padres could run for Mayor of Brooklyn and I think almost Mayor of the area around Yankee Stadium and be elected unanimously so at the end of the eighth inning the score is Brooklyn two and the New York Yankees nothing has proven not only to the baseball fans all over the world who are listening today and watching the game but to the fans here in San Diego that he has all of the courage and all of the desire that is needed by a young man to be a successful pitcher and while the ball game is not over he has proved himself to have brilliance in moments of tightness while we wait for the top of the ninth inning open up let's pause ten seconds for station identification this is Mutual the radio network for all America this is WGN Radio your exclusive World Series station in Chicago this is Bob Neal with Al Helfer and we move into the top of the ninth inning and for the Brooklyn Dodgers leading off will be the first baseman Gell Hodges who swings and pops one up bow and moving over is Bill Scower and he has plenty of room and he has it for the first half of the ninth inning Gell Hodges going after a fastball in on his hands pops it up to the right side it's grabbed up by Bill Scower and there's one out so the Dodgers holding on to their two run lead they picked up a run in the fourth inning and one in the sixth inning fourth inning on a double by Campanella and a single by Gell Hodges there's a fastball by Turley on the outside corner for a strike and you can watch that ball and it jumps today Bob served the centerfielder for the Yankees a few steps over in right center around in right is Hank Bauer pitch by Turley, fastball foul back and it's two strikes Don Hope is the batter he's hit less than two times a bat playing in place of an injured Jackie Robinson and he could feel kind of well sadness on the Dodger bench when it was announced that Jackie wouldn't play today but Hope has been strong he swings and fouls off Yogi Barra's mitt and it's not alone on the right side but it's foul pick it up so it's two strikes and the batter is Don Hope wearing number 43 and the Dodgers are coming up here in the ninth inning they are leading two to nothing they have only half the hits that the Yankees have but they have two runs and the Yankees haven't any ready to work now is Bob Turley and he delivers a curve ball that's inside for ball one that ball just hung inside just a trace enough to be a ball umpire Jim Honichick working carefully behind the plate today Turley's into his wind-up and the one-two pitch to Hope fastballs swung on foul off the facing upstairs, bounces upstairs a warm autumn afternoon in Yankee Stadium as the two clubs who come from respective boroughs in this great big city are battling it out with a double wind-up now is ready and deals that fastball that swung online down into right center field for a base hit Hope breaking the turn at first starts to go for second and serve fires a strike into Billy Martin's second base he's coming up for his first time in this game he came on after manager Walt Austin had substituted Schuba for Zimmer and he made quite a catch left hand batter, bent at the waist, bent at the knees just inside and high for ball one I have never seen Turley's fastball jump as much as it is jumping today it is not only popping up and breaking down but it's popping laterally to the left and to the right Hope leads away, Turley checks him throws to first back safely the Dodgers two runs, five hits, no errors the Yankees no runs, eight hits and one error the Dodgers batting the top of the ninth they have one man on, one man out Turley again looks over to first a foul run only against the runner Hope with a three step lead to pitches inside almost gets away from Yogi Barra but Yogi recovers and makes his throw back out to the pitcher so the count is two balls to Amherst who looks down to Billy Herman coaching it third Sandy in four games has been up 12 times has four hits has driven in three runs and he has had one home run Turley looks to first base Hope edges away, the pitch is a fastball high on outside, ball three Turley who was bothered by Wallace during the regular America League season flexes that right arm goes back, looks back at the dirt in Yankee Stadium and looks out to the bullpen as he notices that one of his teammates gets up there's a three nothing pitch time or it's a ball it breaks over that inside corner of fastball and it's a strike, three in one Turley wearing number 19 looking out there is activity in the Yankee bullpen Turley's the third pitcher to be used in the Yankee fastball, swung on and missed strike two so the count is four, three in two and it Turley is making that baseball, look about the size of the end of a pin there goes Hope and the pitch is inside ball four and Amherst walks so the Dodgers have two men on with one man up and Gil McGill go moves over to have a shot with his pitcher Bob Turley and the hand is for the Dodgers, just listen to it Oh, New York is famous for its receptions to famous people to statesmen, to military men, to stars of the states and screen and they have shown just as much desire to honor this young man who's pitched spottingly here so far swings on the first pitch, it's a fly ball to center field, serve moving on in Elston Howard moving in and Howard watches his serve makes a catch and throws to Rezudo so Padre's first ball hitting pops a little fly ball in center field and we have two out, two on and the leadoff batter for the Brooklyn Dodgers, Junior Gilliam who has one hit in three times at bat is up, Junior will bat from the left side against the fast baller, Bob Turley and the outfield will shade around a little bit, the serve over in right center, deep in right field is deep and McDougall is in close at third Turley checks his runner delivers the fast ball is high ball one there is almost an eye climactic feeling now in the ball game as the fans here remember the eighth inning when the Yankees were threatening to bust the door in inside for ball two when they had two men on and went out that young Johnny Padre's disposed of Yogi Barra the Dodgers hit her and struck out Yogi Barra on it's second is Don Hulk and on it's first is Sandy Amaris and the Dodgers have two out in the top of the ninth inning and Junior Gilliam waits with a two ball count, Turley checks his runners, there's the pitch the fast ball strike manager, Walt Alston very nervously pacing inside of his dugout Jackie Robinson sitting up in the top step and the Dodgers are all up along the line watching carefully this will be a historical moment if the Dodgers can hang on there's a swing by Gilliam a long fly ball deep in the right field going back near the wall is Hank Mauer he reaches up he makes the catch find catch by Hank Mauer went deep in the right center field near the wall and pulled that drive of Junior Gilliam out of the sky and the Dodgers try to build up the lead here in the ninth inning but without success and in the top of the ninth for Brooklyn no runs, one hit there were no errors and the Dodgers left two men on base they have left eight men on the bases so far so at the end of eight and a half fittings apply to the score Brooklyn 2 New York Yankees nothing only once in series history as you know as a team won the series after losing the first two games the 1921 Giants defeated the Yankees five games to three so we come to the last half of the ninth inning and leading off for New York will be Bill Scowern he has one hit and three times a bat now in Padres the left hander is working out there he's ready to pitch and the first pitch to Scowern takes low for ball one the Dodgers have two runs five hits no errors the Yankees no runs eight hits one error Padres ready deals a curve ball on the inside corner for strike so the count is one ball and one strike Scowern is batting Bob serves on deck Padres kicks and throws and it's low for ball two two balls one strike this young fella has been working out there for a little better than two and a half hours there's a curve that catches the inside corner evens up the count two and two that ball broke about four feet so the count to Bill Scowern two balls two strikes the outfield playing straight away for the Dodgers the Amherst and left Duke Snotter and Sutter in right field is Carl Frillo down the hole playing back at third about five steps off the line Reese halfway between second third a swing and a ground ball right back Padres grabs the ball and tosses underhanded to the first baseman and apparently he had trouble digging the ball out of his glove but he gets it over in time well the Yankees are grouped around Casey's tangle down there in the dugout as old Casey's trying to make some kind of a switch here in old Casey's players have a lot of respect for him it's to serve a fastball strike one Bob serve is hitless in three times the outfield straight away Johnny Padres delivers an overhand fastball for ball one strike one the Dodgers are two outs away from winning the World Series of 1955 but standing between them and that fact are two big right hand batters at the moment Bob serve out there waits and the one one delivery is a fastball strike two and young Padres seems to be throwing just as hard now as he was in the first inning Roy Campanella the steadying influence working back at the plate here's the one two pitch serves swings and he pops it up out in the short left field going out his Reese coming on his Amras and Amras will make the catch in the ninth inning the Dodgers lead two to nothing Alston Howard's coming up if you're a died in the world just a casual fan you'll enjoy the keen-sighted analysis of today's game by Bill Corm one of America's most popular sports authorities here's a pitch to Alston Howard strike one call so you stay tuned for Bill because he'll be on here after the game one strike to Alston Howard right hand batter Johnny Padres on the mound for the Dodgers ready delivers a curve outside for one one count the fans are standing up because the all of the excitement all of the great pitching all of the power all of the defensive ability is tied in now and all attention is focused on this youngster with the left arm who deals and swings and messes with one and two so Johnny Padres now has a one ball two strike count on Alston Howard and we have two out in the last of the ninth inning and the Brooklyn Dodgers are leading two to nothing Yankees are playing in Yankee stadium and the Dodgers are leading two to nothing that in itself is historical Padres now with a double windup the one two pitch Howard takes high ball two two balls two strikes and you know you really have to pay a compliment to the umpires men who must make decisions quickly are watching carefully every pitch two balls two strikes with two out and Johnny Padres nods his head to Roy Campanella he's into a double windup the outfield straight away triple windup and Alston Howard decides to step out and does now umpire Jim Halichick moves back of the plate he motions to Johnny Padres it's all right Johnny Padres heaves a great big sigh he looks in now he starts the puff and the two two pitched he swung on and fell back and it's two two balls two strikes Yankee stadium scene of many historic battles at all sports events is being thrilled here at the moment here's the two to delivery a swing and a foul and it goes into the upper deck so the mantle of greatness which is being held by only fate alone waiting for Johnny Padres to step in and have it hoisted on his shoulders and he very casually pulls his socks up he looks into Roy Campanella nobody on two out the Dodgers leading two to nothing it's the last half of the ninth inning Johnny Padres into his windup and the two two pitch a lot of curve a ground ball the left side Kiwi Reese has it the total first and he's out and the Dodgers win by a score of two to nothing fine play by Kiwi Reese and out in front of the mound they're grabbing Johnny Padres they're pummeling them pushing them around the final score is Dodgers two runs five hits no errors the Yankees no runs eight hits in one error Bill Corm will review the highlights of today's game for you man oh boy oh Padres this this was something this was his final World Series ballgame as ever has been played almost and certainly nobody ever pitched their more stout hearted one than Johnny Padres of Witherby New York who stood out there this afternoon and defied all the whammies all the jinks is all the Yankees even Mickey Madeleine a pinch hitting roll and pitched the shutout to beat the Yankees for the first time since the Cardinals did it in nineteen hundred and forty two and that was a long time ago it looked as if Brooklyn was hanging on the ropes but they had Johnny Padres and they had a little boy in the left field who got in there just at the right time little semi-amorous who turned in most of one of the most wonderful plays you ever saw I've only got a minute and now to wind up this

what could we say at this particular point except that the shadows are starting to lengthen across the playing field here at the Yankee Stadium the diamond upon which two embattled ball clubs fought so valiantly here this afternoon to present to the crowd assemble perhaps the greatest finish to any of the fall classics and for the first time in the history of baseball the Brooklyn Dodgers become the world champions for the year of 1955 as the year that they have long been waiting for so it's Glean Flatbush tonight and a bit of sorrow in the Bronx the final totals for this ball game to win for the Brooklyn Dodgers a Johnny Padres pitched a magnificent shutout for Brooklyn 2 runs 5 hits no errors 8 men left on for the Yankees no runs 8 hits 1 error and 8 men left on Tommy Byrne who is magnificent in the second ball game and winning it lost it here this afternoon
