IStanky baseball's brawling Dead
end Kid, dealt the well-manered,
lordly Yankees a convincing kick
that broke up ball game today.
He started the Giants toward a
five run fifth inning which led to
"a 60 victory in the third game
of the World Series before a crowd
of 52.035 at the Polo Grounds.
The Giants took a 81 series
edge over the favored Yankees.

FAR, the Giants finally will gain
the unfamiliar role of favorite in
tomorrow's game at the Polo
Grounds.

will be the choice over Johnny
Sain, who was purchased from the

fection, broke a tense 10 game
wide open today with one out in
the fifth inning.
The chesty little Stanky had
IcoaXed a walk from Raschi after
Hearn took third strike to start
the Giants fifth. Alvin Dark, at
bat, signaled for a hit-and-run
play and Stanky was off with the
pitch. The Yankees had sensed
that strategy and Raschi pitched
so wide of the plate that Dark
threw his bat at the ball to pre-
vent what seemed a certain putout

angry Yankees. Manager Casey
