' Buy At Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Bricks, Flues, Drain Tile 727 W. MeAndrews Ph. SP 2-4107 of the seven Yankee players Stengel named to round out his squad turned out to be a dud. But grizzled old Casey kept going with his guys and, later in the same inning, came up with a fellow who won the ball game for him. It was Gil McDougald, pinchhitting for winning pitcher Early Wynn, whose single drove in the winning run. On the Spot Before that, though, Sten gel had put himself on the spot. With the score tied at 3-3 and third baseman Frank Malzone of the Red Sox on first base - Iter singling as the leadoff hitter, Stengel sent in his own Yankee catch er, Yogi Berra.'to bat for Gus Triandos, the Orioles' catch er who had been, chosen for the starting position. No ball nark, including the Memorial Stadium here, could - be wrecked by boos but those which greeted Stengel's deci sion to bat Berra for Trian dos came pretty close to it. And those boos were noth ing compared to the cheer which swept the stadium when Berra popped out weak ly to third baseman Frank Thomas. Stengel then called on Ted Williams of the Red Sox to bat for shortstop Luis Apari-, cio. Williams hit a ' wobbly ground ball between third and short. Third baseman Thomas couldn't come up with it and was charged with an error on the difficult chance, Malzone going to sec ond. That's when Casey went to his bench again, calling on McDougald. Praises O'Dell 1 McDougald ran the count to two balls and one strike and then looped losing pitcher Bob Friend's next "pitch into short center field, scoring Malzone. That turned out to be the ball game. The top . tribute Stengel paid was to southpaw pitcher Billy (Digger) O'Dell of the Orioles, who retired nine Na tional Leaguers in a row aft er McDougald's hit put the A.L. in front. Stengel, who won the game with one of his own Yankees, made it plain that he thousht he saved it with one of the Orioles O'Dell. "I'm kinda glad an Oriole guy saved it for us, and I mean this guy O'Dell," Sten gel said. "And I'm not ' too unhappy that one of those guys I picked, say like Mc Dougald, came through with a hit that made the differ ence."
