There's not a fan in this oroaC
land. not even the most rablC
Yankee rooter. whose heart didn''

broken down S250,000 pitcher
with a lame wing, who almost
climbed the golden stairs yester'
day in one of the most dramatic
world series games ever played.
lust on the border line of VIC
tory. Deans arm gave out on HIM
and the New York Yankees with
two booming home runs battered
Dizzy and the Chicago Cubs to a
heartreading 6-3 defeat.
Dean. victim of one of the
crueles. early inning breaks any
pitcher ever had to take in a world
series game. survived it and went
into the eighth inning with 81
lead. The highly partisan throng
of 42.1OS were one with Dean as
ne took his lame arm out to start
the eighth. -,
Until this point Dean had held
the murderouS YankS to three
hits. including one of the flukieSt
kind. and but for bitter break
would have had them shut out.
George Selkirk. first up in the
eighth for the YankS raped a
single to right. Then, Dean sum-
moning all the courage IN that
big heart of his. cut down the
next two men, Joe Gordon and
pinch Hitter Myril Hoag. who hit
into force plays at second.
Dean needed only four more
outs to conquer the Yanks and
send the two clubs back to New
York deadlocked with one victory
each.
Little frankie Crosetti, the thin,
willowy Yankee ShortStop who was
the heSo on New York's opening
victory with his Stalwart defensive
plav. was the sixth hitter. Dizzy,
pitching with a strange sidearm
motion neceSSitated by his ailing
arm. got over a strike, then a ball.
Then CroSetti fouled off three
pitches. The next pitch was n
ball. TIC every spectator in the
park it was clearly apparent that
Deans arm was growing weary
and that he was pitching under
stress. Crosetti fouled off another
one and then the next pitch made
it ball three.
Crosetti cut at Deans next eff
fort and fouled it off. Every Dean
pitch now took everything ne had
left in his weary body to get the
ball up there. Facing the YankS
inning after inning with never
chance for a breather had taken
its toll.
On the next throw - Deans
lO2nd pitch of the game-Crosetti
connected. He drove the ball in a
high arc into the left field stands
the Yanks' first homer of the
series. The ball fell in the stands
by only a few feet. Carl REYNOLDS,
Cubs left fielder, had backed up
against the brick wall, where he
stood helplessly while the ball
sailed over his head.
Hoap ana CroSetti trotted
around the bases while the huge
throng sat in almost deathly 81
lence. II was the end of Dir, who
pitched his heart out in one Of
the most courageous of all efforts
to shackle what basebalPs wise
men hail as the greatest team in
history.
The next inning made Deans
rout complete. He started the
ninth. threw two pitches and the
YankS made two runs. Tommy
Heinrich dashed the first pitch,
wobbly curve ball that would have
been a cripple for sandlot play
err. to right for single.
Joe DiMaggio came up next and
blasted DIS pitch over the left
field wall for a mans sized homer.
That was all for Dean and he left
the game while the crowd stood up
and applauded the stout-hearted
fellow who almost achieved a mir
aele of licking the Yanks with a
tantalizing change of pace and a
slow curve.
Only once during the game did
Dean cut loose with an overland
pitch and whiz his fast ball in
there. On that occasion he famed
Red Rolfe, one Of his two strike
outs.
While the game was a tragedy
for Dean it was a lucky triumph
for Lefty Gomez who scored his
sixth straight world series victory
to establish a record. Gomez,
never beaten in world series play,
now ranks with Chief Bender of
the Athletics and Waite Hoyt of
the Yanks as the only pitchers
ever to win six world series games.
Gomez wasn't around at the fin
ish. After giving three runs and
nine hits in seven innings he was
removed for a pinch hitter in the
eighth Just before Crosetti's home
run. Grandpa Johnny Murphy
pitched the last two innings and
was raped for two singles.
