Bob Lemon was supposed to have
the edge on Bostons only stand
outs-Sain and the left-handed
Warren SPAIN.
Sain was superb yesterday, beat
ing Feller at his present-day best
when Bob was hurting the 10th
2-hit game in World Series history.
Feller walked only three, one inten-
tionally. Sain, meanwhile, was scat
tering four singles, walking none
and tanning six.
Sain, eighth World Series pitcher
to win by 10 count, is certain to
see action at least once again in
the classic, and may be a three
time starter unless this Boston club
matches the four-game sweep made
by the 1914 Miracle Men" The
Braves never have lost a World Sc
ries game, winning five in row.
This is a heartening thought to
the underdog Braves, for Sain is a
wcrkhorse. Down the National
League stretch he pitched eight
complete games in "a days. boosting
Boston to the pennant. He pitched
% complete games during the sea-
son.
This sturdy 6-foot-2-inch 200
FOUNDER could turn the series upside
down with his curves, control and
complacency. Threatened in the
ninth inning yesterday when Third
Baseman Bob Elliott made two
base error on Ken Keltner's
grounder, Sain calmly whipped
three straight strikes past a con-
founded Walt Judnich. Judnich
didn't get his bat off his shoulder
on the third.
On four other occasions, the In
dians got runners on second base,
but none reached third. Sain was
brilliant under pressure and in the
last three innings he permitted no
hits.
A brisk wind from right field aided
both pitchers and figured Important
ly in the Braves outfielders' IS put
outs, which tied series record.
For Feller, 1t was a disheartening
loss, but not without precedent. In
1914, Mort Cooper of the St. Louis
Cardinals pitched a 2-hitter, but
lost to the st. Louis Browns. Bevens'
1-hitter for the Yankees against
Brooklyn last year. was an even
tougher loss.
