V 'f) 0 0 Brooklyn Grabs Sunday Fracas 5 to 3 To Take Lead Over Yankees in Series By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sport Editor New York (U.R) The long- frustrated Brooklyn Dodgers hoped to wrap up their first world chamionship and finally end the most famous "jinx" in World Series history by beat ing the crippled New York Yan kees in their own backyard. With the site of the series witching back to Yankee Sta- New York (U.R) Facts and figures on the World Series: Scores of preceding gamesi - 1st game, Yankees 6, Dodg ers 5; 2nd game, Yankees 4.

Despite the fact that Mickey Mantle was on the sidelines again today and Hank Bauer, rv Noren and Joe Collkis were nursing assorted ills of their own, the odds-makers installed the Yankees 6-to-5 favorites for today's contest, the sixth game in the series. e The odds favoring the Dodg ers to win the series, however, jumped from 13-to-10 to 13-to-5 after they won their third straight game at Ebbets Field Sunday, 5-3, with the aid of two more homers Dy JJuKe snider, and went ahead jof the Yankees, three games to two. ' Stengel Takes Blame If the Dodgers won today, it would mark not only their first .World Series triumph, but also make them "jinx-busters" as the first team in history to drop the first two games and rally to win the title in a seven-game series. Beaten by the Yankees five . times before in series competi tion, the Dodgers were in a po sition to rub salt in the Bronx Bombers' widening wounds. Stengel, who already has said ' a) KEEPING firm control of game, Johnny Podres pitches Brooklyn Dodgers to first vic tory over New York Yankees by 8-3 score. (International) Southpaw Tommy Byrne will pitch the seventh game assum ing there would be one, of course blamed himself a great deal for Sunday's defeat. He was particularly upset over Snider's two homers which gave the Dodger center fielder a total of nine in World Series competi tion. Snider has passed Joe Di Maggio, who hit a total of eight homers, and now ranks behind only Babe Ruth, who hit 15, and Lou Gehrig, who hit 10. Casey Blames Himself "We know how we're supposed to pitch to Snider and we don't do it," Stengel snapped after the game. "I don't blame my pitchers. I blame myself. Bob Grim was tagged for both" of Snider's homers, which were his third and fourth of the series, and Sandy Amoros also connect ed for Brooklyn. Bob Serv, a series "bust" u to Sunday, hit a homer for the Yanks in a pinch hitting role while Yogi Berra hit for the circuit. Rookie lioger Craig, a Mon treal alumnus who Alston ad mitted wasn't being given con sideration as a starter before the series opened, went the first six innings and was credited with the victory, although Clem La bine bailed him out of a tight spot in the seventh. Craig gave HURDLES Yankee shortstop Phil Rizzuto leaps high to avoid the sliding Pee Wee Reese after making the force on the Dodger short stop in the first inning of the fifth World Series game at Ebbets field in Brooklyn. Duke Snider's grounder to Billy Martin started the play. The Dodgers won, 5-3.
