World Series Heroes Hodges Near Gehrig Total (Editor's Not: Gil Hodges slammed out a singl and two doubles Friday to drive in four runs in a 13-8 Brooklyn victory thai put the Dodgers two games up on the Yankees in the World Series. In the following dispatch, he tells how he did it.) By GIL HODGES As Told to The United Press Brooklyn (U.RJ You can never tell about anything in baseball and that goes double in a World Series. Remember that 1952 series against the Yankees? I'll never forget it. That's the one where i couldn't buy a nil in 21 times up. In this one so far, I've driven in a total of seven runs and they tell me Lou Gehrig holds the Series record with nine RBI s. Well, don't worry about It, be cause his record probably will .stand up. Wear Self Out That's what I mean about World Series games being so un predictable. You wear the ball out one day and the next day all vou do is wear yourself out For me, though, this was the biggest day in a series, only it 11 be a lot bigger if we can go on to win two more games. Of the three hits I got- Friday, the second one my first double off Tom Morgan in the fourth inning gave me the biggest boot because it drove in the two runs that broke a 7-7 tie. I pick ed out a good curve ball on that one. An inning later, when I got my second double, I hit a sinker. McLoughlin Clips Comet Ninth 21-0 Mcoughlin Junior high's ninth graders, improved over their opening performance of the pre vious week, clipped the Crater freshmen 21 to 0 at Central Point Friday afternoon.

McLoughlin went to a touch down the second time it got its hands on the ball. A 55-yard march ended with Curtis Salt marsh goaling on a six-yard plunge and Skip Bennett run ring the extra point. Pass Scores A 27-yard pass play, Bennett to Ray Konopasek, was the pay off of a 55 to 60-yard push and Salmarsh crossed with the ex tra. Dick Reams recovered a fumble on the Crater 40.

Bennett ran for a conversion. ; McLoughlin gained 185 yards i rushing to Crater's 55 and had live first downs to the Comet team's one.

I Do If 'Old Folks' Helps Yanks (Editor's note: Forty-year-old Enos (Country) Slaughter) powered the Yankees to their first World Series victory over the Dodgers Saturday and he tells about it in the following dispatch. By ENOS SLAUGHTER (As Told To The United Press) New York (U.R) Some of the guys call me "Old Folks' but I felt prouder than a high school kid on graduation day when I saw that ball sail into the seats in the sixth. It wouldn't be exactly right to say that Saturday's homer gave me the biggest kick of my baseball career because, truth fully speaking, I get a great thrill out of every hit I'm lucky enough to collect. Extra Special But I'd be fibbing if I didn't own up that the homer meant something a little extra special for me. You know, I'm getting toward the second half of my career, so to speak, and you like . to prove you can still do it, even though they call you "Old Folks." That homer against Roger Craig was the third one I've hit in World Series competition The other two came while I was still with the Cardinals. I hit my first series homer off Red Ruffing of the Yankees in 1942 and the last one I hit before this one was against Tex Hugh- son of the Red Sox in 1946. Kind of a long time between homers, wasn't it? The ball I hit off Craig Sat urday was down a low, fast ball, I think. All I know is that it was down.
