Red Sox Pound BuhI
For Al Win in Third
CITY Series Game
By the Associated Prass

BOSTON, April 11.-Milwau-
KEGS transplanted Braves drew
a cordial and prolonged recep-
tion from their abandoned Bos-
ton admirers today but, as is
their won't at Fenway Park,
dropped their third straight
cross-country "city series" game
to the Red Sox, Al.
From the sounds that reached
the rooftop press box, the ma
iority in the crowd of 5000
sympathized with the Braves
but those diehard fans had few
chances to become excited as
Hector (Skinny) Brown turned
back the Wisconsin Tribesmen
with a neat four-hit perform
ance.
Brown, obtained from the
White Sox in the swap for Vern
Stephens, held the Braves score
less until Andy Pafko hit the
first pitch into the leftfield
screen for a homer in the sew
enth inning.
Double Follows Homer.
That blow drew a terrific roar
from the apparently non-partl-
san spectators. Pafko made his
first visit to Fenway a memor-
able one by smashing another
Brown pitch against the center
field fence for a double with two
out in the ninth.
The Braves used four pitchers,
starting off with Right-hander
Bob Buhl, who gave the Red
Sox all of their runs in the
fourth inning.
Buhl started the Red Sox of
on their big inning by walking
Jim PierSall, who scored after
Gene Stephens and George Kell
connected for consecutive
singles.
When Sammy White laid down
a tricky bunt along the third
base line, Catcher Ebba st.
Claire made low throw and
loaded the bases. Stephens
scored on a wild pitch and, with
one out, Rookie Tom Umphlett
lashed a screaming two-bagger
into rightfield to drive two more
runs across.
Buhl was relieved after the
fourth and was followed, in. or
der, by Murray Wall, Johnny
Antonelli and Don Liddle.
Mathews DisappOints.
The friendly crowd considered
itself let down by Ed Mathews,
the Braves sophomore third
baseman, who is highly regarded
here as a Slugger. But Brown
toyed with him as he went hit
less for his Goth consecutive
turn at bat.
Obviously pleased by the
crowds friendly reaction was

Yanks CIout Erskine
In Beating Dodgers
Behind Lopat, 5-4
By the Assoeioted Press

BROOKLYN, April 1.-THE
Yankees took up where they left
off in the 1852 World Series to-
day when they defeated the
Dodgers again, 5-4, before H.
023 fans at Ebbetts Field, where
the series ended last October.
The champions took the lead
in the second inning when Gene
Woodling hit a two-run homer
and Phil Rizzuto brought in two
more with a slashing single.
What proved to be the deciding
run came in the fifth when Hank
Bauer walked, moved to third
on a double by Mickey Mantle
one Of his three hits-and scored
on Yogi Berra's fly.
The Dodgers started fast as
Junior Gillian and Peewee Reese
singled and Gillian scored while
Duke Snider was hitting into q
force play. But the Yankee in
field doubled up Jackie Robinson
on grounder. just as it snuffed
out the last Brooklyn threat in
the ninth.
The Dodgers got one back in
the sixth when Robinson tripled
and Roy Campanella doubled.
They added a pair in the next
inning on Duke Snider's home
run with Reese on base.
Eddie Lopat. in his final pre-
season test, pitched six innings
for the Yanks, giving up seven
hits and two runs. He was re-
lieved by Ewell Blackwell.
The victory was the Yanks'
fourth in six games with the
Dodgers this spring. The two
teams meet again tomorrow.
