as Frank Dascoli, umpire on the
left field foul line, signalled borne
run. That tied the score, 3-2. .
When Joe Collins drove a long
fly to right field the first time
he bad pulled a ball all day to
epen the eighth, there were hints
that Roe might be tiring. Bauer
followed with a line single to left.
Roe was two thirds of the way
out of the jam when Yogi Berra
skied deep to Duke Snier in center,
bringing up Mantle.
Carefully The Preach worked on
Mickey. Ball one was low and out'
side, i Another curve to the same
place while Mickey Mantle waited.
Then came the pitch that the Yank
center fielder sent soaring into the
lower left field seats. Roe allowed
27 home runs during the regular
season. The old gopher ball proved
his undoing Thursday.
Lopat, who like Roe is 35. pitched
his usual steady game, mixing hi
junk with an occasional fast ball.
Time after time the Brooks got
men on base, only to have Steady
Eddie wipe out the threat .
The Dodgers, who left 12 on base
Wednesday, stranded 10 more
Thursday. They went down In or
der only once, m the third inning.
This was another annoying day
for the powerful Dodgers who were
highly regarded 6 to 5 underdogs
when the series opened. The Yanks,
however, lengthened to 2 to 1 after
the opening win and now will be
lopsided favorites , to grab their
fifth straight championship.
The scene , shifts to Brooklyn's
Ebbets Field for Friday's third
game when Vic Raschi (13-6), 34-year-old
Yank righthander, will
try to make it three in a row over
Carl Erskine (20-6, the Dodger act
who was chased in one inning Wed

Gopher' Pitch
1 By WILL GRIMSLEY
KEW YORK U) - "I thought It
was a heck of a pitch. I don't see
how be hit it. It was way below
his knees." j
It was Elwin (Preacher!! Roe, the
coon hunter from Ash Flat, Ark.,
talking and bis subject was Mickey
Mantle's towering eighth inning
home run which gave the New
York Yankees their second straight
World Series victory over the Brook
lyn. Dodgers 4-2.
"It 'was a changeup screwball,"
the slender lefthander added. I
had never pitched him one like it
before. But I thought it was a good
pitch and it went just where I
wanted it to go.
"He just got hold of it and
slammed it out of the park, that's
all. It was some hit"
Discussing the other disastrous
pitch,! which Billy Martin hit into
the lower leftfield stands in the sev
enth to tie the game 2-2 Roe had
a different observation.
"It j was the greatest mistake
since ; they invented buttermilk,"
he commented dryly.
"It! was a high curve. Nobody
ought to pitch anybody a high
curve, : .
It was a dour and dejected crew
of Dodgers who trooped into their
dressing quarters after the game.
Manager Charley Dressen quick
ly retired" to his den off from the
regular dressing room and held
his usual post-game press confer
ence in tones so low that half the
writers couldn't hear the conver
sation. "You can't second guess home
runs," the squat Dodger skipper
said. "We're in bad shape, that's
for sure, but if Erskine can win
tomorrow maybe we'll be all right'
Dressen had announced earlier
that Carl Erskine, his 20-game win
ner who was shelled in the first
inning of the opening game, would
come : back against the Yankees
when the scene shifts to Ebbets
Field Friday.
"The trouble with us is we're not
getting the hits when we need 'em,'
Dressen continued in a quiet, sub
dued voice. . How many men did
we leave on base today? Ten?
And it was 12 yesterday.
"And what did we do? We get
nine hits and they get five. We get
a triple in the first inning and caq't
score. -They don't get a hit in the
first inning and get one run. It's
been that kind of series for us.
There was no question about
. Mantle's home run, which landed
several . rows up in the leftfield
grandstand near the 402-foot mark
er but there were those, including
the leftfielder himself, who thought
Jackie Robinson should have snag
ged Martin's blow.
,"I should have caught it" Rob
inson said. "I was trailing it back.
thinking I was sure to get it, and
it was longer than I thought It
didn't go over my head. It went
to the side of my glove.
But the old pro of the Dodgers
had no excuses fo" this failing ef
fort nor for his batting slump which
has seen him get only one hit in
eight official appearances.

though Notre Dame was voted No. 1
national ranking in The Associated
Press poll this week and Purdue
didn't show in the first 20.
It was Purdue that cut Notre
Dame's modern record string of 39
games without defeat in 1950 by a
24-18 score. Purdue almost clipped
the string in 1943 before losing 28-
27. Notre Dame has a 17-5 bulge in
the series, with two ties.
Notre Dame again has the kind
of team that beat Purdue's Big Ten
co-champions last year 26-14 by
grabbing eight straight Purdue
fumbles.
The Irish set up two- of their four
touchdowns against Oklahoma last
Saturday by recovering Sooner fum
bles. The lean, alert young men
from South Bend made breaks for
the other two by blocking a punt
and intercepting a pass.
Against that kind of inspired op
portunism, Purdue will send a mus
cular, veteran team that lost to Mis
souri, 14-7, largely because of er
rors in the first half. After recover
ing from opening game jitters, the
Boilermakers made 13 first downs
in the second half to Missouri's 5.

Campanella suffered the injury
when AUie Reynolds, Yankee right
hander, hit him with a pitched ball
in the second inning of Wednes
day's opener.
The ball hit him on the back of
the right hand, on the knuckle just
above the little finger. The hand
is swollen and sore. Campy says
he cannot, grip the bat properly
and the pain becomes agonizing
when the bat meets the ball.
"I sure looked awful today, he
said sheepishly. "It ain't no fun
standing ' up there knowing you
can't hit and you're swinging a hat
