closed the series as O terrific
strategist. for Reynolds came in
to strike out Stan Lopata. q
pinchhitter.
Ford Gets Cheers.
Ford received the most impress
sive ovation Of the series when he
walked from the hill and the ma
tive New Yorker deserved 1t. Born
at Sixthy-sixth street and Second
avenue here. but now a resident
of Long Island City, Ford became
one of the few rockies to win a
World Series game.
The debated Whiz Kids sealed
their fate in the first inning. Ed
die Sawyer trusted his pitching to
the 24-year-old Miller and, after
the rookie Highlander had op-
posed four batters. the Phils' man
ager admitted his mistake.
Second baseman Goliat was a
contributing factor in Miller's
early dismissal. He bobbled
Weddings grounder to start the
game. Woodling moved to second
when Willie Jones scooped up Phil
Rizzuto's grounder and threw
him out.
Berra then brought Woodling
across with solid single to right.
Berra raced to third when
Miller unleashed wild pitch and
Di Maggie scored him with a dou-
BILE to right. That ended Miller.
Konstanty Comes In.
Jim Konstanty came on to keep
the Phils within range before the
Yanks caught up with him in the
sixth. Konstanty, who set a ma
jor league record by appearing in
"a games in relief during the
season. was making his third
showing Of the series. He retired
the first nine Yankees he faced
before Johnny Mize singled in the
fourth. Woodling singled of him
in the fifth. but Konstanty en-
countered no trouble until the
sixth.
Berra opened the Yanks' sixth
with a mighty smash far into the
lower right field stands. Di
Maggie made gestures of doing
the same thing with a couple of
long fouls, but finally was nicked
on the back by a pitched ball.
He took second when Mize
grounded out.
Bobby Brown, who operates
against all World Series foes with
equal skill, tripled to center, scor-
ing Di Mag. Hank Bauer's long
fly to Dick Sisler in left scored
Brown. Browns triple boosted his
batting for three series to .4S1.
In this series, he hit 1893 with four
hits in IL attempts.
Phils Miss Chance.
The Phils missed a chance to
jump in front at the outset.
Eddie Watkins walked to start the
game and, with one out, Jones
sliced a double to right which
bounded into the field boxes. 1t
was a ground rule double and
forced Watkins to stop at third.
That was as far as he got for
Del Ennis shot a grounder to
Brown, who whipped the ball to
Berra. Watkins, attempting to
score. was an easy out. Sisler then
watched a third strike.
Again in the fourth. the Phils
threatened after Ennis slow roll
ler trickled fair down the third
base line. Sisler flied out. but
Granny Hammer singled to right,
sending Ennis to third.
Seminick lashed a grounder to
Mize, who stepped on first and
then threw to Berra. catching
Ennis trying to score for a side
retiring double-play.
Jones Gets Single.
Ford had a flve-hitter entering
the ninth when Jones led off with
a single. Ford hit Ennis on the
right foot with a pitch. but Sisler
forced Ennis at second as Jones
took third.
Ford famed Hammer and then
Woodling booted Seminick's fly,
enabling Jones to score from third
and pinch-runner Ken johnson
from first. Goliat's single sent
Ford to the dugout as the fans
booed Stengel.
Booing the Yank manager was
hardly in keeping with his record.
He took charge of the Yanks last
year and steered them to the
championship. duplicating that
performance this year.
Reynolds ended the game by
tanning Lopata and Philadelphia
became the seventh National
League club to bow to the Yankees
in the World Series. The Yankees
haven't whipped the Braves. They
have never met in the fall classic
