mates on how not to pitch to
the Yankees following yester-
days debacle. The Yankees
blasted 10 hits of various VIZ
ciouSness and made it easy for
Bob Turley. who yielded 13 hits
and couldn't finish. Bobby
Shantz came along in the ninth
to provide aid after the Pirates
had gotten across two meaning
less runs.
The hero of the extended
episode, which set a series
record with its 80 hits, gen.
orally was believed to be Bill
Jackowski, umpiring at first
base. He called Don Hoax out
at that post on the game-ending
double play despite the fact
that Don was a full step be-
yond the base.
It may have been the first
decision rendered with on eye
on the Scoreboard, which
showed the Yankees leading by
13 runs, but even the Pirates
must have been seeking a place
to hide by that time. Jackowski
gave them the excuse for re-
Treating to the cozinesS of their
clubhouse.
The Pirates were disgusted by
their performance, but not
shattered. They're even with
the Yankees after two games
and they can regard the pre-
vious four World Series in con-
cluding that such a shellacking
doesn't necessarily lead to dis
aSter.
Last year, the White Sox
pulverized the Dodgers, lilo, in
the first game but lost the
series. In 1858, the Braves won
the second game, 1875. but lost
the series to the Yankees. III
1857. the Yankees murdered the
Braves, 1873, in the third game,
but lost the series. In 1856,
the Dodgers won the second
game, 1873, but lost to the
Yankees.
Youngsters Get Chance
That pattern may not be fol-
lowed, but most players agree
it's better to take a fearful
clubbing than drop an ulcer
disturbing 81 decision. MUIR
taugh felt that way about it.
If we're going to get beat, I
prefer today's kind of score, "
Danny said. 1T gave me a
chance to get all our young
fellows into the series"
What Murtaugh saw of some
of them couldn't have been
pleasant. or could it have been
a Joyous experience for the
victims.
+ The Yankees opened scoring
in the third inning on a walk
to Bobby Richardson, a sacri-
flee, a single by Tony Kubek
and double by Gil Nc
Dougald. They heightened the
lead in the fourth on Richard
sons single, a passed ball and
a single by Turley and Mantle
introduced Fred Green to the
rigors Of series pitching with
a two-run homer into the right
field seats in the fifth.
That made it 5-1 and things
got worse in the sixth, when
| the Yankees sent IL men plate
ward and scored seven runs.
Mantle took a third strike in
that frame with the bases
loaded, Turley making the other
two outs, but Mickey left his
mark with a three-run homer
off Joe Gibbon, also a left
handler, in the seventh. The
final run in the ninth was Wild
pitched home by Tom Cheney.
That seventh-inning homer
was one of Mickey's more ma
jestic smashes. 1t scared over
the wall. a bit to the right of
dead center. at the 436-foot
sign. Dale Long, Stan Musial
and Duke Snider lad accom-
plished that feat, but Mantle
was the first righthanded
swinger to achieve it.
Ties RBI Record
Mickey didn't seem to get
much of a kick out of his
homers. What do two homers
mean when the team scores Is
runs?" he asked. I've hit
homers that have won some
series games. They were much
bigger as far as I'm concerned"
Still, Mantle batted in five runs
and only Tony Lazzeri, Bill
Dickey and Ted Kluszewski had
done that in World Series COM
petition.
The question of breaking
Ruth's record naturally was
posed and Mickey said, 81 have
a much better chance of doing
it if I keep batting right
handed. This year I'm a much
better hitter righthanded. In
the last month, I was terrible
left"
A look at the records reveals
that Mamie has hit nine of his
series homerS batting right
handed.
The Mizell- Mantle battle to-
morrow may be interesting.
