Red Springs Robins, o..
Although Bob spicer wal pun
meled for II hits by the bashing
element in the Dunn-Erwin lineup,
he stayed right in there and was
credited with his 18th win of tie
year.
The Cubs bounced on starter
Tate for five runs in the first
frame, and they picked On his
bones for three more in the third
before Don Melvin came in to
play fireman. They got three more
off Melvin, and then suddenly quit.
It was enough, anyway.
Trying to catch up, the Twins
eliminated their run-getting activ-
in the sixth with a four-run
splurge. Spicer then held them at
bay for the next three frames, and
the Cubs had inched Up to within
10 games Of the leading Sanford
who dropped q 10 deci-
sion to Wilmington.
Shelton Stanley, Cub third base
man, batted il two runs with a
triple and two singles and scored
twice himself to pace Lumberton.
In all, the Cubs plastered the two
Twin pitchers for is base hits. Bill
Kaires was pulled out of a tough
a. tie with Red Springs in Clinton
last night, with Ed Kukulka singh
ing to left field to score Dick Evans
with the winning run for the Blues.
Kaires notched his ninth win for
Clinton.
The Blues had started OFT in a
big way, hitting Jim Miller for
three TALES in the first on four
hits, a walk. and a wild pitch. How
ever, Joe Mangini and Tom Clay
ton combined with doubles to drive
in two markers in the fourth, and
Mangini's second two Dagger
brought cross another pair in the
next frame. This tied the game,
the Blues having added another
run in the third on a hit, 4 two
base error, and a deep Quilted
fly.

NEW YORK, Oct. They'll
be tough to beat. They've got
the speed"
This was the considered opin-
ion of Manager Bucky Harris
as his victorious New York Yam
KEGS prepared to take on the
Brooklyn Dodgers today in the
second game of the World Series.
Don't for a minute think
they'll be easy to beat" Harris
reminded. They're good ball
club. I've got lot of respect
for their ability.
"You saw them yesterday Did
they quit when Brallca folded
in the fifth? BY gosh they came
back fighting mad and ALMOST
caught us, didn't they? Don't
think wasn't scared stiff when
the first batter walked In the
ninth and that Edwards guy, who
can beat your brains out any
time, came to bat"
Harris said the turning point
Of the game came with Pinch
hitter Bobby Brown at bat with
the bases loaded IN the hectic
fifth, which saw the Yankees
score all their runs in their SIS
victory.
Imagine the spot the kid was
in?" Harris asked. Here was a
boy in his first year in the big
leagues, being sent up to bat
with the bases loaded and $4,000
fans looking on.
why, I could see his face
was as white as chalk. His heart
must have beat a mile minute,
but his eyes were clear and that
base on balls that ne drew set
up the stage for Tommy Hen
rich's two-run single, which
proved eventually to be the win
ming runs" y
IT know how he felt" Harris
reiterated. Because that was
the way I felt when I went up
to bat for the first time IN my
first World Series in 1924"
Asked to explain mis- reason
for substituting pinch hitter
for Pitcher Frank Shea in the
fifth, when the Yankees were
ahead, 81, and Shea apparently
well in control, Harris ex-
planned:
Look, I was playing for a big
inning and I got it, didn't I?
Sure, Shea was going good, but
I had another pretty good
pitcher in the bullpen, and I
knew that If we could get q
couple Of more runs Joe Page
would hold the lead for US. We
got three more and Page held
the lead"
Harris complimented the Dodg-
ers on their speed and hustle, and

Linde||' 5 Series Role
Recalls His Aid 10
Yankees in 1943
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. Johnny
Lindell, the sub, made good again
yesterday-just as he did In the
1943 World Series.
Filling in for the injured Charley
Keller in left field, Lindell provided
what may prove to be the turning
point of the series when he doubled
home the first two runs in the big
Yankee fifth inning that defeated
Brooklyn in first game Of the an
nual classic.
Coming up with the bases loaded
and no one out. the Arcadia (Calif)
dychaser, built like a fullback,
smacked a curve for two-bagger
just inside the left field foul line
to put the skids under Ralph
Branca. the Dodgers starting
hurler.
Back In 1943, when the Yanks
met the st. Louis Cardinals, Lindell
provided what many thought was
the key play Of the series, but In
q different fashion.
That year the Yanks won the
opener, but the Cards took the
second and were leading in the
third game, 2 to l, at Yankee
Stadium when the Yanks came up
in the eighth inning.
Lindell led off with a single to
center and reached second on
Harry Walkers error. George
Stirnweiss laid down a bunt. The
Cards first sacker, Ray Sanders,
whipped the ball to Whitley Kurow-
