series was deadlocked at one victory
apiece and the Dodgers were load
ed with confidence. The FlatbuSherS
were in full cry; really thought they
could win. Joe Mccarthy was so un-
certain of Russo that he didn't de-
eide finally to pitch him until just
before game time.
Well. most of the millions of
words written about that crucial
contest told of the tough luck that
befell fat Freddie Fitzsimmons, the
Dodger hurler. An injury forced him
to leave after he had stopped the
Yankees dead for seven innings.
They said he probably would have
won if RuSSos drive had not struck
him on the leg.
Maybe so. but it remains that
Russo for seven frames had ham
strung the Dodgers even more
effectively than Fitz had halted the
Yanks. The Dodgers finally nicked
him for a run in the eighth, sure;
but that only was after the Yankees
had scored twice in their half and
taken the pressure off Russo. The
score that went into the book was:
Russo. 2; Brooklyn, l, That was
the one that broke the Dodgers
backs: taught them they couldn't
slug it out with the Yankees.
Bonham Fifth Choice.
AS for Bonham. he was McCar-
thy's fifth choice as a starting pitch
pr. He even might have been con-
sidered sort of sacrifice, as the
Yanks had been beaten by Whitlow
wyatt in the second bout of the
series and knew he was tough
proposition. Red Ruffing was not
ready to start again, Bonham, a
strapping 210-pounder, was about
the only man Mccarthy had left,
barring the faded Vernon Gomez.
And so it was under those circum-
stances that he numbered out to the
mound and gave perhaps the out
standing pitching performance of
the series, throttled the Dodgers and
blasted their last hope of getting
back in the running. He made 1t
conclusive.
Only two of the four hits off him
were long, clean ones.
Perhaps Krichen knew what he
was talking about, at that.

With the exception of knowing

meet in Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Kiesling, head man last year. the
team is a blend of the Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia teams of 1910
whose franchises were swapped on
the suggestion of young Alexis
Thompson, newest of the loops
magnates.
Thompson, who originally pur-
chased the Pittsburgh franchise, ar
ranged a deal whereby he moved to
Philadelphia to take over the Eagles,
whose owner-coach. Bert Bell,
transferred to Pittsburgh and a half
ownership in the Steelers with Art
Rooney.
Each Team Gets Mixture.
Some OF the veterans of each
team transferred with the swap, but
all of last December's draftees re-
mained with the man who picked
them. In other words, l940's college
stars selected by Bell now are with
Pittsburgh while those Thompson
picked right after he purchased the
Pittsburgh franchise are playing as
Eagles.

Long Island Indians wasn't unex-
pected in view of the form shown

returned TO the Redskins after a

will assist Bob Titchenal and XII

it, Having been booting in the Co.
