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

iium and the Dodgers needed
only one victory to accomplish
what they have been unable to
4o in seven previous classics.
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.

by 8-3 score. (International)
Southpaw Tommy Byrne will

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.
