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." TIGERS SIGN TWO
Detroit (UPI) Gerald
Blanks, a Detroiter who went
west to Denver university,
and Jim Harold, Thomasville,
Pa., have signed Class A con
tracts with the Detroit Ti
