NEW YORK ff) — Brooklyn’s
beloved Bums finally won a
World Series on the eighth try
Tuesday after long years of
bitter frustration, tumbling the
mighty New York Yankees in a
tense seventh game, 2-0, on
Johnny Podres' gritty pitching.
Scorned as 19-5 underdogs
after dropping the first two
games at Yankee Stadium, the
Dodgers slugged back to become
the first team ever to win a best
of-seven series after losing the
first two. Only the 1921 New
York Giants had staged a com
parable comeback but they had
nine games in which to sink the
Yankees' first pennant winners.
When Podres marched from
the dugout to take his turn at
hat in the ninth, a roaring
ovation from the 62,465 fans
at Yankee Stadium beat down
upon his ears. It was Podres
who lifted the Dodgers off the
floor in the third game and it
was Podres who led the grand
march into the promised land
of World Series victory.
When Podres worked the last
Yankee batter, Elston Howard,
to a 2-2 count, saw him foul off
two and then send a sharp bounc
er to Pee Wee Reese, a deep
growl of triumph swept the cav
ernous stands of Yankee Sta
dium.
As Hodges gathered in Reese’s
fast throw for the final out, a
twisting deluge of players, bench
warmers, fans, and youngsters
in striped sweaters overwhelmed
Podres. The Dodges club finally
moved en masse, like one giant
swarm of bees, toward the dug
out and the inevitable cham
pagne popping ceremonies.
It was the first Yankee#
series defeat since Billy South
worth’s St. Louis Cardinals up
set them in 1942 and their fifth
defeat in 21 series. They had
won seven in a row since ’42.
The game packed the drama
of an entire season into nine
glorious innings in the bright,
warm sunshine of a perfect Oc
tober afternoon.
You could almost hear the
noise from the riotous Dodger
dressing room in the distant
stands as the boys cut loose after
their long uphill struggle finally
was capped with victory.
It was a ball game with $100,
000 riding on every high pitch
by Podres and his assorted op
ponents, starter Tommy Byrne
and reliefers Bob Grim and
Bob Turley. For the difference'
between the winning and los
ing pool was just about $100,
000.
Although official figures won’t
be released for some time by the
. office of Commissioner Ford
i Frick, it was understood that the
Brooks had voted 32 splits, mak
ing each full share worth $9,684.
The reported 36 Yankees full
shares were each good for $5,
739.
Byrne didn’t allow a hit until
the fourth. . Then Campanella,
who had gone 0 for 12 in the
Stadium, slammed a double to
the left-field corner with one
out. FuriDo was thrown out by
the charging Rizzuto on a slow
i oiler. Campy moved to third.
Hodges then lined a 1-2 pitch
into left for the first big run. j
Brooklyn almost broke the
game wide open in the sixth.
Reese opened with a single
and the Yanks’ Skowron left
Byrne’s peg get away from
him for an error as he tried to
tag the bunting Snider.
Some eyebrows were raised
when Alston, playing for a run
with a 1-0 lead,, had Snider
bunt, but it paid off. Skowron
took the throw a few feet off the
bag and tried to make a tag as
Snider went past. The ball was
jarred loose, much as Skowron
had jarred the ball out of Campa
nella’s hand in the third game at
Brooklyn.
Campanella also bunted, with
two on and none out, moving^ip
the runners with his sacrifice.
Manager Casey Stengel came out
to talk with Byrne, ordering him
to fill the bases with an inten
tional pass to Furillo.

How many "impulse” items

Many customers have two food shopping
lists—a written one, and a mental list of
things they need. They depend on the con
venience of a modern supermarket to help
them fill both lists. At the store they see
and select new, appetizing products and
especially good buys. These "impulse”
Items supplement the purchases on their
written lists.
Learning how to help shoppers make
these selections—through special displays,
convenient shelf stocking and efficient store
layout — is one of the most interesting
