Now, on the other side
Billy Barnes 1927 blocks the
linebacker as if leading q
running play. When a safety
man sees this he has a ten
dency to move up to help
stop it. Bobby Mitchell (49)
comes in from his TANKER
position as if to block the
safety, but at the last split
second Mitchell takes off and
tries to outSprint him.
The wingback (37) is iso-
lated on this particular play
and is not a factor. He must
decide whether it's going to
be a running play, and
whether Mitchell is a block
er. Then he's got to come all
the way across the field.
Snead's throw to Bobby

Billy Stacy (24) and Pat

game and was decided on a
shot-from Willie McCovey's
bat to Bobby Richardson's
glove, with the tying run on
third and the winning run on
second.
It ended with such sudden
ness that everybody was
stunned momentarily - tn e
Yankees, the Giants and the
43,948 still hopeful in Candle
stick Park.
Terry was nursing a 10 lead
off a run the Yankees scored
in the fifth inning while Tony
Kubek was hitting into a double
play. and it proved to be
enough. Twice in the ball game
the Yankees had the bases
loaded with nobody out, but
from those glorious opportuni-
ties came only one run.
Delayed Reaction
It was only the second time
in the SO years of the World
Series that the decisive game
was won by a 10 score. The
only other time was in 1921
when Art Nehf of the Giants
defeated Waite Hoyt of the
Yankees in game No. 7.
There was delayed reaction
on both ball clubs. Even in the
winning clubhouse the Yankees
showed no real elation nor the
Giants any deep regrets. It was
a game and a series that would
have gone the other way had
McCovey's slash been a couple
of feet to the right or left.
Terry and Manager Ralph
Houk knew it, and made re-
peated reference to it.
Had McCovey's ball gone past
Richardson, driving in the tying
and winning runs, Houk would
have been second-guessed for
the rest of his baseball days for
pitching to the big guy. Nc
Covey tripled to deepest center
field in the seventh inning, and
earlier in the series he lofted
a home run in this park.

WzX LOSE OR DRAW
Cosey's FLOATING Old Folks Home
By FRANCIS STANN

ST. PETERSBURG, FLA, APRIL a.
Outwardly, the years have dealt kindly
with Gil Hodges. After 16 seasons in the
majors the one-time hero still looks like the
complete pro. But whether he can hit at
age 81 only time will tell The New York
Nets high command merely is hopeful
81 haven't hit this spring, so far" Gil
is quick to admit, although I think I've
met the ball little better than my exhibi-
tion average shows" Hodges is a throwback
to the old school. All of his career, until
now, has been spent with the Dodgers
Brooklyn and Los Angeles variety.
Ralph Kiner, who broadcaSts the Nets
games and who is one of only two right
handed batters to hit more lifetime home
runs (Jimmy Foxx is the other is inclined
to give Hodges the benefit of any doubt at
this time. Most older hitters take while
to hit their stride" the former National
League long-ball king said. Dale Long

pertinent Over the winter I'd think of
something that might help and in the
spring I'd try this style or that one. If it
didn't work I'd go back to my old style.

HODGES IS ONE Of three first basemen
on the Nets roster (the others are Ed
Bouchee and Jim MarshaD but Gil is going
to start the season if he never gets another
hit until the opener. He is name" a
hero fondly remembered by Greater New
York fans, box-office draw, if only tempo
rarily.
Advancing years and the Dodgers move
from Brooklyn to Los Angeles caught up
with Gil simultaneously in 1858. The ridic-
ulously short fence in the L. A. Coliseum
frustrated Hodges, who in trying to pull
and pop homers over the 250-foot screen
messed up his timing and his swing. Not
only did his normal home run output fall
off, but his average did, too. Furthermore,
the man who batted in more than 100 runs
for seven consecutive seasons never ap-
preached any such figure in the Coliseum.
One Of the nice guys in the game, and
among the frankest, Gil isn't elated by the
thought Of playing the '62 season in the
resurrected Polo Grounds. One gets the
impression that he would have liked one
81-game shot at the Dodgers new Chavez
Ravine park.
II never cared for the Polo Grounds"
Gil said, "even when was young. If you
don't pull ball down the line, or slice one
to the opposite field, all you're apt to be
is a long out. My power always has been
to left and to center.

"I think he'll do better here

The examination Of Schmidt
by DR.. George Resta in Wash
ington showed no damage to
the tendonS. The bone chip
will heal in a week or 10 days,
but damage to the tendons
would have meant an opera
ton, a slow healing process
and possibly so days on the
disabled list.
With Schmidt's absence
placed at no longer than a
week, the Senators cut down tc
the 28-player maximum fol
opening day by optioning Pete
Daley, the No. 3 catcher, to
Toronto on 24-hour recall.
1t had been obvious from the
start of spring training that
Daley. who hit 1872 in part-time
duty in 73 games last year, did
not fit in the Senator's plans.
He was at bat only four times
this spring.
Daley was notified more
than a week ago that he was
not going to be retained, but
the announcement was held up
because he contemplated quit
ting baseball. Then he got q
reprieve when Schmidt injured
his finger. Daley finally con-
sented to report to Toronto or

NEW YORK. April 2 tAP).-
Frank Clifford. one Of the

The handsome, 31-year-old
Californian said he is leaving

The 6-foot-1, 196-pounder,
who came from the University
Of Southern California, was
picked for the NILS all-star

with the Giants. He was
named the leagues most val

Clifford retired after he was
tackled and knocked cold by
Chuck Bednarik of the Phil

season. Last year he combined
scouting for the Giants with

Power and Pitcher Dick Stig-
man.
No cash was involved in the
straight player deal, which was
announced by Cal Griffith,

Ramos, a Highlander, was
one Of the mainstays of the
Twins pitching staff last year,
appearing IN AZ games. He won
8 and lost IL and had an
earned run average of 3.95.
Power was the regular first
baseman of the Indians last
year, and batted 1858 with five
home runs. Stigman, a left

in % games with a 2-5 record
and had an earned run average
of 4.64.

Weiss and 72-year-old Casey stengel picked
their players in the National League expan-
sion draft, they went for the veterans

tors in 1860.

Ginsberg, 35 Herb Moford, 80, and such
other past-30 performers as Roger Craig,
Charlie Neal and Don thinner.
Some idea of the uphill struggle the
Nets face is furnished by the composite
record of the pitchers who were in the
majors last year. Stengels pitchers won
the grand total of IA games, Craig ranking
as the biggest contributor with five VIC
tories for the Dodgers. The Senators
original staff, as assembled for spring
training year ago, won an aggregate of
48 games. The new Los Angeles Angels
pitchers had won 20.
SOMEHOW GIL HODGES seems to
typify most strikingly the Met of 49, Here
was great slugger, holder Of the MI record
for most homers with the bases filled, IA.
He tied mark by hitting four home runs
in single game "a feat accomplished only
five times in this century in nine inning
games) and Gils feat probably was unique
in that on August 81, 1850, he blasted four
different pitchers. couple of them were
unframed, meaning Bob Hall and Norman
Roy, but the other two were Johnny An
tonelli and Warren SPAIN, the latter the
winningest southpaw in MI history
In uniform Hodges looks as if he'd
never left the Dodgers. In their effort to
revive fond memories and supplant the
Dodgers and Giants in New York-and mix
in bit of the Yankees, too-the Nets
clothes designer hasn't been bashful about
stealing style and colors.
The primary motif is the electric blue
of the socks and caps of the Dodgers. A
dash Of the old N. Y. Giants orange is
laced into the lettering. The Nets home
uniforms even have the pin-stripes of the
Yankees.
Mostly, though, Hodges and the rest
are remindful Of the deeply mourned
Brooklyn Dodgers. In appearance, that is.
In performance the likeness may be pallid.
