four of the seven extra-base hits
in two games, but it hasn't been
enough.
Only One Tainted Run.
The Phillies haven't been hit
ting despite those three doubles
and triple. The Yankees aren't
proud of their own power at this
juncture either. but in 10 innings
the only run the Phils mustered
stemmed from a routine grounder
which took a weird hop over Sec
ond Baseman Gerry Coleman's
head.
The Phils' pitchers had throttleo
Joe Di Maggie to point where it
seemed pitiful until he provided
the margin of victory yesterday
with a 10th-inning homer off
Robin Roberts which landed in
the upper deck in Shibe Parks
left-centerfield stands.
Before that, Di Maggie had
walked twice and popped up six
times. He hadn't hit a ball out
of the infield, but all of a sudden
the sputtering fuse reached the
powder keg and-boom-it was
over for the Phils.
In the first two games, Di Mag
gio batted .143, Johnny Mize .125
and Yogi Berra Ill, but the
Phils have nothing to show for
this pitching feat. It's still a
case of the Yankees having
enough to beat you, whether It's
pitching duel or a slugfest.

SisIer Hope
By Charles M. Eeon
Sports Editor Of The Sfor

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Most for
lorn of all the Whiz Kids at this
point is 29-year-old Dick Sisler,
who was the toast Of Philadelphia
earlier in the week. Dick hasn't
hit a ball past second base, except
in batting practice, since his 10th
inning home run in Brooklyn won
the National League pennant for
the PhillieS last Sunday.
But Sisler can hope for better
things in Yankee Stadium, it
seems, even though it has been a
tough spot in the past for out
fielders unfamiliar with it. For
some strange reason, Dick hit only
.225 in Shibe Park this season
whereas he clouted BAT away from
his home field.
This information was cleaned
from voluminous records on the
Phillies contained in a nifty-look-
ing, 16-page color magazine pub
lished by the Philadelphia In
quirer on the eve of Wednesdays
first World Series game. These
records show Sisler got only At hits
in 209 times at bat in his home
park, but connected 109 times in
314 tries on the road.
If this oddity pays dividends
during the rest of this week, Man
ager Eddie Sawyer will be CRATE
full. For Sisler had an awful time
of it during the first two games
and it seemed to affect his spirit.
Failed in Pinches.
Dick closed out both of the
Philadelphia games with strike
outs, yesterdays coming on three
pitches with the tying run on Sec
ond base. He took only half
swing at a high fast ball, then
apparently couldn't decide whether
to give Umpire Bill MCGOWAN an
argument about the third-strike
call. But Dicks heart wasn't in
1t, so hewalked dejectedly away.
Sisler, whose father, George, was
one of the greatest of all ball play
ers but never got to. play in q
World Series, has failed repeatedly
with men on bases. He has been
a sucker for the high hard ones
employed by Vic Raschi and Allie
Reynolds, tanning four times. In
his five other tries, he hit two pop
flies to Johnny Mize, two rollers
to the pitcher and grounded to
second. One of the rollers was on
an attempted sacrifice. Reynolds
got force play at second, with
some sparkling aid from Skeeter
Rizzuto.
Sawyer hasn't given up on Dick,
but the Phillies' manager took
cognizance of the way things have
been going. He dropped Sisler
from third to fifth in today's bat
ting order. moving Willie Jones
up to the No. spot.
Del Ennis, Philadelphia's home
grown right fielder and cleanup
man, is the only other regular on
either team who is still without q
base hit. But Del has hit the ball
hard and looked good. Joe Di
Maggie robbed him of a triple yes
terday when he ran to the 400-foot
marker in right center for Ennis
drive.
Del also hit a blazing smash in
the eighth inning yesterday, but

In Passing Game
West Virginia Squad
Hompered by Injuries
To Several Players
By George Huber

A passing game is in prospect
from both teams tonight when
George Washington and West Vir-
ginia meet at Griffith Stadium at
$3.50 to renew rivalry that has
languished since 1910.
The Colonials are one-touch-
down favorites on the strength Of
their upset victory over Virginia
Military last week while the
Mountaineers were losing their
Southern Conference start against
Washington and Lee.
Injuries to several important
backfleld men will hamper the
Mountaineers tonight, but the line
is big and rugged and CIV is ex-
pected to take advantage of the
passing skill of Andy Davis and
Bob Cilento. The Colonials are
ranked as the 14th best passing
team in the country with % COM
pletions in so attempts for a Sc
per cent average and 370 yards
gained.
Patent Aerial Combination.
West Virginia has potent COM
bination in Quarterback Billy
Allen and End Ross Heron. The
latter has accepted IL chances for
100 yards and is fifth among the
country'S leaders in that depart
ment.
Coach Art Lewis, the new West
Virginia mentor, will send his
team out tonight without the
services of several regulars,
notably Walter Glenn and Johnny
Murphy in the backfield. Both
participated a light workout
yesterday afternoon at Griffith
Stadium and may see some service
tonight. AL Purello is slated to
start for Glenn at right half and
Bill Bryant for Murphy at full
back. Bryant sparked what run
ming offense the Mountaineers
displayed against Washington and
Lee last week.
Otherwise the Mountaineers will
field their usual starting lineup.
The two lines are pretty even as
to weight, with West Virginia
anchoring it's wall around two
205-pound tackles.
In addition to Davis and Glen

For women who shop, and es.
pecially for women who do the
grocery marketing on foot, the
new handi-coat with carry-all is
a happy combination of good looks
and usefulness.
The handi-coat, designed by
Clarice Scott of the USDA Bureau
OF Human Nutrition and Home
Economics, is made of a new-type
shower and wrinkle resistant cot
ton coating. 1t can be worn rain
or shine and over a sweater or
liner on cold days.
1t is tipped up the front with a
long upper and has front pleat
for comfortable walking. 1t has
hood that stays on and that's
forms a visor for sun or showers.
The shoulder cape gives double
protection against rain. The slot
made in the left sleeve is ideal for
shopping lists. A pencil is at
tached to the lower right pocket
and other shopping needs are in
the pocket on the left side.
The carry-all is similar to a big
shoulder bag and made of plas-
tic over stiff cardboard. It is the
right size for grocery bags and
can be carried to the store folded
like a purse. With it goes a Slip
on cover for the top of the grocery
bags.
With this coat, you will not
have to tumble for your house
key. 1t is on a pull chain at
tached inside the right upper
pocket. The chain works automa-
tically and flips back into place
when you release it.
The coat has plentiful pockets
one for wallet and check book
with secure zippers' and one for
gloves.
Patterns for the coat and carry
all are available in sizes from 10
to 20 also 40.
