Stengel Pulls Slaughter, Collins Out Of Line-Up For Final Series Skirmish Br LEO H. PETERSEN Umltd Prets Sporti Ediloi Brooklyn (L'Ri Bi? Don Newcombe. Brooklyn's 27-game winner, faced lanky Johnny Kucki who won IB, as the Dodg eri and Yankees met today in the seventh and deciding game of the greatest World Series of them all. Newcombe. who spear heads the Dodgers to National league pennants but then fails in the series, was making his second Hart in this classic and his fifth in the autumn competition. Never has he won the big one, being charged with three de feats and one no-decision. That no-decision came in last Friday's second game when the Yankees hammered the six-foot four 246 pound righthander for six runs in less than two innings. But his teammates, with the greatest series rally in 27 years, came from behind to win it, 13-8 Don Bersscnt, who was the No 1 man in the Dodger bullpen behind Newcombe today, re ceived credit for the victory. Kuek's Third Fray It was Kuck s third appear ance in the series. He was used In relief in both the first and econd games and was pounded hard each time. The six-foot- three. 170-pound right hander was the mainstay of the Yankee pitching staff most of the sea on. but faltered in the closing weeks. It was a clear, crisp autumn day with a chilly breeze blow ing In from left field. However, it did not figure to be strong enough to affect any balls hit toward the left field stands. Manager Casey Stengel of the Yankes made two substitutions in his lineup, benching the 40- year-old Enos (Country) Slaugh ter who had a bad day in the field Tuesday when the Dodgers won 1-0 in 10 innings to even the series at three games each, and first baseman Joe Collins. Elston Howard, the Negro out fielder-catcher, took over for Slaughter in left while Bill Skowron, who was benched after going hltless in four times at bat in the first game, went back to first base. TurUr Biases ; Stengel debated until the last moment Tuesday before he chose Bob Turley to start over Bob Kucks and the burly right-handed speedballer didn't disappoint him. 5 Working with the "no-windup wlndup" that Larsen used on Monday's date with immortality. Turley struck out 11 batters and dueled on a scoreless basis with Labine for nine full innings. Turley was an over -powering fast ball pitcher faster than Larsen in his perfect game but Clem Labine's low-breaking atuff proved a match for him. In the final analysis, the game turned on Stengel's refusal to let rrm the right handed Turley pitch i to the left-handed, long-ball hit ting Duk2 Snider with the re sult in the balance. In the eighth Stengel ordered Turley to walk Snider, putting a possible win ning run on second base and when Junior Gilliam walked he got out of it when Jackie Robinson popped to third base man Andy Carey. Casey faced the same situa tion, strategically, in the 10th Slaughter's Outfield. ng Questioned Brooklyn (UP.) Enos Slaughter, one of the greatest clutch players in baseball his tory, is on the spot today as a possible 1956 World Series goat. Did the 39-year-old New York Yankee outfielder misplay three balls, including Jackie Robin son's game-winning, lOth-inning single in Tuesday's 1-0 Brooklyn Dodger triumph? Or did circum stances just happen to make Enos look bad. The question probably will be debated as lon as World Series are talked about without anyone arriving at a conclusive decis ion. But it's quite likely that, of all the games old Enos has play ed, he ll least like to recall the sixth game of the 1956 World Series. The Yankees' sentimental hero of the Series ran into trouble early when Junior Gilliam lift ed a routine fly to left field with one out in the third inning. Enos loped in under the ball, then lost it in the sun, and let it drop for a single. Gilliam tried for two and the alert Slaughter grabbed the ball and threw to Billy Martin for the putout. Ill Luck In Eighth III luck again came Enos' way in the eighth inning of the tense struggle when pitcher Clem La bine lifted a high fly close to the left field foul line. At first, it seemed the ball might go all the way for a home run but it fell short close to a protruding section of the stands but still just inside the Houl line. Slaughter raced over to take the ball but stopped about five feet short of the protruding fence. The ball dropped for a double. And then, of course, there was some question whether Enos should have caught Jackie Rob inson's game-winning liner In the 10th. At first, it appeared the ball would be caught and then, suddenly, it was over Enos' head and off the wall and Junior Gilliam was streaking over the plate. stm leading the Field..

They were long, numbing weeks, 19 to be exact, spread over two sea sons and part of the third. They were frustrating weeks without a victory, made even more disheartening by the ugly thought there was no respite ahead. They were numbing weeks when Penn, ivy pure, went into football games against over powering opponents scheduled during an ambitious era now past. They were flyweights against Rocky Marciano Davids against Goliaths without even a slinghot for a weapon. Kids Get Credit And when Penn finally won, breaking the nation's longest with one out and Pee Wee Reese bunted him along to second. Once again. Snider was purpose ly passed but this time Robinson rifled a liner to left field which eluded Enos Slaughter's grasp and sent Gilliam flying over the plate with the winning run. Western Open Starts Thursday San Francisco (U.P.) The scenes and the names change on the professional golf tour but the yakity-yak remains the same. The top money makers among the nation's professionals are here today warming up for the start Thursday of the 53rd West ern Open Golf championship. The scene this time is the Presidio Golf club course built right on the U. S. Army post by the same name in the center of San Francisco. It is a short course, measuring 6.495 yards, with the biggest hazards occa sional winds and regular fogs. who suffered with the team said simply: "Give the kids the cred it, 100 per cent. They hung to gether through it all." Stick-to-it Steve Sebo, the guy who never complained when ad versity bore down on him, is the United Press Coach of the Week, so nominated in the wake of Perm's 14-7 upset of Dartmouth last Saturday in its formal ooen- losing streak, the patient coach I ing of Ivy League play. Sidelights On Series PODRES MISSING Brooklyn (U.PJ The Dodgers and Yankees were back exact ly where they were a year ago. going into the seventh game of a World Series all even, but the missing man is Johnny Podres. Southpaw Podres was the hero of this game last year when l.e pitched a 2-0 shutout to give the Dodgers their first World cham pionship. Today, Podres is in the Navy, stationed in Norfolk, Va. He couldn't get time off to see the series. BIGGEST BELT Brooklyn IU.R) Clem Labine was emphatic that beating the Yankees in Tuesday's Series game was the "biggest belt I ever got out of anything in base ball." Labine i a i d he thought he pitched "at least as well" as he did in his other famous shutout, 10-0, over the New York Giants in the second game of the 1951 National league pennant play off, "although I believe I had a better sinker pitch in '51 than I do now." WHO'S FASTER Brooklyn (U.Ri Duke Snider thinks Bob Turley of the Yan kees is the fastest pitcher the Dodgers faced this year, but Jackie Robinson disagrees. "Johnny Antonelli of the Giants was faster in a game against us in Jersey City," said Robinson. Said Roy Campanella, "all I know is Turley struck out 11 batters, including me three times.
