But Gale h0u0e'S strike0ut pitching pulled him out Of that spot. He was saiI- ing along smoothly when Sanders came Up with two men out in the sixth. Sanders worked the count to three and one and hit the next pitch over the right field pavilion roof.

 Both oalehouse and Gewell felt, however, that LItwhiler'S drive iI1tO the pavilion seats would have been caught had not the wind Swegved It over. But that run didn't mean anything for one was all Cooper needed in registering his second World Series triumph.
 He allowed seven hits, one mOEe than GalehOuse, with Vernon Gee- pheiis getting three of them, but his control was perfect and his fast pail never had more zip.
