its potency at least on me.

The only effect it left on me

test Yesterday Was Very
Sand-Lotty Affair; YAM.
KEGS Won Again

NEW YORK, Oct. 2.--Joe Hat.
ten for Brooklyn and. Bob New
som for the New York Yankees
seem slated to pitch in the third
game Of the World Series.
Bucky Harris, manager Of the
Yankees, stated, after discussing
the second game of the series
which the Yanks won, 10 to 8.
that he had picked Newsom to
hurl the third game.
He added that Rookie Larry
Berra would do the CATCHING
again, although there have been
reports the Yankee skipper
might switch to Robinson.
Rerra will be all right" Har-
ris said. Hell get his hits before
the series is over"
= Berra got no hits yesterday,
and seemed to come apart at the
seams. Berra, explaining how
Hermanskis pop foul fell to the
ground in front of him in the
seventh inning, said that Allie
Reynolds, the Yank pitcher, had
called for Billy Johnson to make
the catch. &
Il got out of the way" said
Berra. when the ball dropped
between us there was nothing
left to do but pray for it to roll
foul. 1t did"
In the same inning Berra threw
wild to first base when John
Jorgenson beat out bunt, but
the Yankees pulled out of that
one and no more was said about
the miscue.
Speaking of goats, it looks like
Pistol Pete Reiser, center fielder
for Brooklyn, was one in yes
terday's contest.
q Pete was lucky when Stirn-A
weiss line drive, which cleared
Eddie Stanky's glove, continued
into center with Reiser in pur-
suit, was declared a triple. Reiser
kicked the ball around. 50 81
In the seventh, when the Yanks
scored four runs, Reiser again
committed an error. The scorers
didn't overlook the fact that Pete
let Johnson's single get away
from him.
Some Of the fans here yester-
day left before the game finished.
They were derisive in their re-
marks about Dem Buns" Brook
lyn showed no pitching strength;
erratic fielding and inability to
hit in the pinches. M
I, It was a very sand-lotty game,
was yesterdays. The Yankees
may be declared the winners OF
the series tomorrow or Saturday.
Brooklyn will have to do a COM
plete about face if they win more
than one game They've used
eight pitchers in two games
against three for the Yankees.
Frank Shea, first game winner,
was removed for a pinch hitter
who kept the rally going that
Melted them five runs.
