kacPhai| Resignation
And Durocher's Fate
Pose Big Questions
BY The Assoeieisd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. THE two biz

volved about that old Damon ane

2. What's to become of Leonine
Leo, now that his suspension as
manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers is
supposed to be at an end.
MacPhail. the man who once tried
to kidnap the Kaiser, didn't quite
take the play away from his world
championship Yankees in their
moment of glory, but he certainly
threw hombshell at the climactic
moment.

Minutes before. he had limited to in.

ates spoke of a possible successor
Dan Topping is vice president OF
the club and Del Webb, wealthy

At least one of MacPhail's CO.
owners declared he hoped Larry
would reconsider.
The Durocher question continued
a puzzler. It has been a matter OF
widespread speculation in baseball
circles ever since Commissioner
A. B. Chandler suspended the fiery
Dodger pilot at the beginning of the
1947 season for conduct detrimen-

Some insiders insisted that
Branch hickey, who succeeded Mac
Phail as president of the Dodgers
would announce his decision regard
ing Durochers status at the con-
clusion of the series.
When no word was forthcoming
from Hickey, it was said the Dodger
boss was waiting to hear from the
commissioners Office. 1t was re.
called that Walter Mulbry, secre-
tary to Chandler, had said in answer

.LindeI|'s Great Hifinq
Earns Hero, LaureIs;
Branca Named Goat
By Jack Hand
Assoeiofsd Press Sports Writer

NEW YORK, Oct. THE New
York Yankees won their 18th World
Series just as they figured to do
on a solid pitching edge over the
shoddy Brooklyn Dodger staff and
the extra-base power in their bats.
Game to the last out of the sew
enth game, the Dodgers made It
close all the way on speed and
hustle. But in the flna1 innings of
yesterdays So Yankee clincher
there was Fireman Joe Page coming
from the bullpen to outshine the
Dodgers best while New York
strengthened its lead.
Well-pitched games by Frank
Shea, Allie Reyonlds and Bill Bevens
whose 82s innings of no-hit pitch
ing before losing was the best job
Of the series-showed the Yankees
strength. Those three complete
games and the relief work of Page
overshadowed the valiant efforts of
Hugh Casey, the Dodger relief hero
No Dodger Starter Lasted.
No Brooklyn starting pitcher
lasted through the fifth inning and
the final game followed the same
familiar pattern. The Dodger start
er, Hal Gregg, didn't last through
the fourth.
When it was all over, Reliefer
Page, who had been thumped
soundly in Sundays thriller, received
credit for the win.
The Yankee batting average of
.282 dwarfed the Dodgers .23O and
set series high for a seven-game
set. Included among the Yanks 81
hits were II doubles. triples and
homers as compared to 13 doubles,
triple and l homer by Brooklyn.
Passing up Casey because his club
finally lost despite his personal 0.87
earned run average, the crown Of
series hero probably belongs on the
head of Johnny Lindell, who missed
the finale with a fractured rib.
Got 9 Hits in Is Times.
| Lindell led the hitters with 500 on
hits in 18 trips. He scored 3 runs
and batted in with his singles. 3
doubles and triple.
For secondary heroes, the Yanks
could put forth Tommy Heinrich,
who hit 1928; Phil Rizzuto, who
matched a 1903 average with brilliant
defensive play; Frank Shea, who
won two games in his freshman
year, or Page, the bullpen artist.
If the goat tag is pinned on any
body it should 60 to Ralph Branca,
the 2l-game winner, who was
slugged for II hits and eight earned
runs in eight and one-third innings
of work, or Pete Reiser, the center
fielder. who misplayed two fly balls
into triples in the second game
and let a grounder 60 through his
legs for an error in the opener.
Di Mag Standout in Field.
Yankee infield play surpassed
Brooklyns, and Joe Di Maggie was
the standout afleld, despite his
.23l batting average, Two of his
six hits were homers.
Pay day for the players comes
later, when Commissioner A. B.
Chandler mails out the checks. 1t
has been learned that the Dodgers
will slice up 80 shares. not includ-
ing the one they voted to Ex-man-
ager Leo Durocher before Chand-
ler said mo" That would bring
their losing cut to about $4,000 each.
The Yanks probably will get about
sc, 300 apiece.
