World SeriesG Game. ID

Laabs 60 this first. hit Of the Sc
ries and again in the sixth be
doubled to left. The latter hit was
somewhat scratchy, as Litwhiler
overran the ball in an attempt to
hold it to a single.
They failed to get safe blow
in the seventh, the only frame in
which they went nitless, but pinch
liter Milt Byrnes, batting for Hol-
ingswort, walked to keep intact
the Browns record of placing a
man on the sacks in each frame.
Finally in the eighth their cons
tant pecking brought results and
the hopes of the Browns support
ers SCARED. Moore, who had start
ed three of the Browns four scor-
ing rallies in the first three games,
did it again with a walk. He moved
around to third on Stephens single
and scored as Laabs hit into a
double play.
Great fielding plays also came to
Brecheen's aid. In the first Hopp
went far to his left and took
Moore's blow near the wall with a
brilliant one-handed catch. Bre-
cheen helped his own cause in the
fifth when he made fine catch
of Kreevich's liner, inches from
the ground. In the same frame,
Sanders went over near the right
ield boxes and took Hayworth' S
twisting foul with one hand.
Kreevich made the outstanding
play for the Browns, his catch of
Kurowski's 40O-foot fly with the
bases loaded shutting off the Cards
seventh inning rally.
