to call him in Brooklyn. is having
a hard time trying to win what
is referred to in the trade as the

chance-possibly his last this
afternoon.
Failed in Second Game
Winner of 81 games. New
combe was dismal failure in
the second game, after the &c.
year-old Maglie had spun a tidy
6-3 victory in the opener a week
ago. The Yankees knocked Newk
out in the second inning, scoring
once in the first inning and five
times in the next. The big blow
was grand-slammer by Yogi
Berra.

ter because of whispers" that
big victories seemed to elude him,
broke a club rule by leaving the
park and fighting with a heckler
on the street. On the way to a
police station he apparently set

victim revived charges and en-
ployed a lawyer.
Stengel. no better off than
Walt Aston for pitching, nomi-
mated Johnny Kucks to face
Newcombe. Kucks, a 23-year-old
native of Jersey City, had an
1873 record during the American
League season and has appeared
in five Series games, all in re-
lief. He has no record.
A crowd of 1924 watched the
monumental duel between Turley
and Labine yesterday. A game
in which no runner on either
team got past second base until

single and got nowhere. With
two down in the third. Bauer
ard Collins singled and were
stranded. Billy Martins two
out single in the fourth went
for naught. So did Berra's two
out double in the sixth.
In the eighth Collins doubled

and died on second base. and
that constituted the Yankees
attack.
Duke Snider sliced a single to
left - indicative, perhaps of
Turkeys speed--with two down
in the first inning. Then
Slaughter lost Gilliam's fly ball

There was no other real threat

Turley Gets by Crisis
In the eighth Labine. a de-
termined sort at the plate. smote
a fly ball which fell fair BY inches

Yankee bullpen for a ground

crisis by tanning Gillian, getting

making Robinson hit a tender.
