Are Really Hurting

batters.

"Out there they didn't ask for
any new balls to be thrown in.
There was nothing involving a
spit ball brought up during

I struck out Hank Bauer with
a fast ball, then I got Tony
Kubek the same way with q
screwball. l just threw the
same kind Of stun ! did all

I think that ! pitched Just
about the same as I did in
beating them last week, but
this time my control got better
as the game went along"
Burdette said his greatest
thrill was winning the second
game Of the Series last week.
Now the novelty Is worn
on" he added. ITS Just an
other game. but an important
one. ! think the first time a
pitcher beats the Yankees has
to remain the top thrill"

Second Injury
Leaves Mantle
.Heartbroken

NEW YORK. Oct. Q R.-It|
was . glum-almost heart
broken--Mickey Mantle who
returned here today with an
ailing shoulder that could keep
him out Of the remainder Of
the World Series.
What made It harder 10 take
was the fact that his bad leg
has been coming around and
he thought he was about ready
to start operating at full blast.
That's what makes 1t col
tough" he said. Just when
my leg was coming around
nicely and ! felt ! could run at
top speed, this has to happen.
His right shoulder was In
jured in Saturdays game when
Bob Bull threw low TO Red
Schoendienst trying TO pick
Mantle on second. Reaching
for the throw Schoendienst
damned his knee into Nantes
shoulder.
It has been bothering him
since and it got 50 bad that he
had to pull himself out Of yes
terdays game. He can't throw
or bat without sharp pain.
Manager Casey Stengel hasn't
given up hope of Mantle play
ing in tomorrow's sixth game.
Hes been taking diathermy
treatments for two days"
Stengel said. Maybe with an
Of day today. he'll be all right.
Perhaps he can pinch-hit.
but right now he's q crippled
player. I won't take any
chances Of getting him hurt
seriously. II he hasn't i'm
proved by game time tomorrow, |
he won't play"
Mantle didn't tell Stengel |
or the rest of the Yanks how
serious the injury was until |
just before yesterdays game. |
He wanted to play badly, he
admitted.
He explained that he went
out for fielding practice hoping
that he might be able to make
a go Of 1t.
But when / got out there,
I knew / couldn't. so told
Casey to play Tony Kubek."
Stengel had left the decision
on whether to play in Nantes
hands. and he probably will
leave it to the switcher again
tomorrow.
Ironically, Schoendienst, che
fellow who inadvertently caused |
Nantes injury. himself will
be out Of the rest Of the Series
