0 Sues Win in Typical Style To Take Series Home Runs, Bad Bounce Boost Pirates in Finale By LEO H. PETERSEN UF i Sports Editor Pittsburgh - (UPD - It didn't come easy, but the Pittsburgh Pirates did it. They won the World Series, ending a 35-year drought, thanks to a ninth-inning home run by Bill Mazeroskl and an eighth-Inning bad bounce ball which kept them in the run ning. So they came back to beat the once, mighty New York Yankees and perhaps end on a sour note the reign of the most successful manager in baseball history-Casey Sten gel; ; . . Stengel wasn't saying so, but later this month he is expected to announce his re tirement. In 12 years as man ager of the Yankees he won 10 pennants and seven World Series. "I came close to making it eight," he said after Thurs day's 10-9 Pirate victory. "But I guess it wasn't in the books. I'm. not saying that I'm fin ished. I'll let that word out later." . Yet, it is no secret that at ' hi. x - . 1 -v v , In Fine Whiskey . . . FLEISCHMANM'S is the BG buy! 90 PROOF is why! $435 45 Qt.

Ttrry Loses Final I wouldn t know about that," said old Case. "But I sure wish I could have thrown that second pitch to Maz- eroski in the ninth yesterday. 1 would nave kept it low-not high." v Ralph Terry, the last of five Yankee pitchers, threw the ball . which Mazeroski drove high over the left-cen- terfield wall of Forbes Field. In the end it was the old Yankee trade mark that up ended the Bronx Bombers. They had out homered the Pirates, 10-4, but that fourth one for the Pirates did the trick. It was, said the 24-year-old Mazeroski, the Pirate second baseman, "a high fast ball." It also was his second home run of the Series, the first being in the first game and providing the two-run margin for Pittsburgh's 6-4 triumph that day. "Its typical of the way we've won all year, winning them in the late innings, said happy Pirate manager Danny Murtaugh. "I never once counted this club out for it comes battling back." Bad Bounce Helps That victory came-not only thanks to Mazeroski - but thanks, too, to a bad bounce ground ball. The Yankees were still in firm - 7 - 4 command when pinchhitter Gino Cimoli open end the eighth with a single and Virdon slapped a double play grounder at Kubek. But the ball caromed off the hard Pittsburgh infield and knock ed Kubek off his feet when it hit him in the neck; Instead of two out and none on, the Pirates had two on and none OUt. , ; ... , ... Dick Groat's single brought in one run and kayoed Shantz in favor of Jim Coates. A sac rifice moved the runners along and after - Rocky 'Nel sons' shallow fly kept them anchored to their bases, Ro berto Clemente singled wide of first to. bring in a second run and bring up Hal Smith. . The old park shivered with the roar of the fans -when Smith delivered his three-run homer to put the Pirates ahead, 9-7, although the fin gernail biting wasn't over as the Yankees, stormed, back to tie the score in the. top of the ninth. But then, of course, came Mazeroski and there was no further chance for the Yan kees when he connected for that game-winning shot. "" V ""I'm 11 mi in in mi 11 111 1 1 m mm 11 -REPEAT -SPECIAL!

The big blow gave the Pirates the World Series crown with a 10-9 score over the New York Yankees in the seventh and final game of the Series.. .. . . (UPI Telephoto) Horns Blew at Midnight In Victory Celebration By DICK FONT ANA Pittsburgh IUPI - The horns blew at midnight .in Pitts burgh - and blew, and blew and blew. A zany crowd which police called the greatest assembled here since V-J Day jammed the Steel City until the wee hours of the morning and cel ebrated the Pittsburgh Pi rates' first world champion ship in 35 years. , The demonstrations were set off at 3:36 p.m. Thursday when Pirate second baseman Bill Mazeroski leaned on a pitch-by New lYork Yankee righthander Ralph Terry and sent it soaring over the left- centerfield wall for the game- winning run. Within seconds, office work ers in the downtown sky scraper office buildings gave street cleaners the biggest headache that they've had in years. Tons of confetti and as sorted types of paper spewed by the bushelful from open windows. The streets below Joy Not Felt By Bob Friend Pittsburgh - (Ufll - Veteran baseball writers said the cele bration in the Pirate club house following Thursday's World Series victory over the New York Yankees was the wildest they had ever seen. A non-participant in the joy making was Bob Friend, an 18-game winner for the world champion Pirates but a decid ed bust in the Series. While champagne and beer flowed and wet towels flew, Friend stood silently beside his locker, taking in all the merry making. "Bob, rightfully this is just as much your celebration as any of the others;" a writer assured Friend. 'Maybe it is, but I just don't feel that way," he an swered. "And besides, I'm not one for this kind of thing. I try to stay out of such cele brations." - If he was kidding anyone he was kidding himself. He joined in when the Pirates celebrated their pennant clinching in a dressing room in Milwaukee. Friend had lost two series games as a starter and proved ineffective in relief Thursday in the finale. NO TELEVISION Corvallis - - Athletic Di rector Spec Keene of Oregon State College said today there would be no television of the Oregon , State - Washington football game to be played in Portland Oct. 22. were ankle deep in debris. Police at one time feared a complete breakdown of law and order. , Safety Director Louis Rosenberg, in an un precedented move, appealed over radio and television for suburban residents to stay out of . the city, and for the crowds' downtown to disperse and go home. The plea went unheeded, but happily police reported no major incidents. Mazeroski Experiences Cold Chill (Editori not: Bill . Mas oroski's ninth inning homer enabled the Pitttburgh Pir ates to beat the New York Yankees, 10-9, Thursday and win the World Series. He gives his impression of in gam in the following dispatch.) By BILL MAZEROSKI Written for UPI Pittsburgh - lUPIl - A cold chill ran down my back a moment after I hit that ball in the ninth inning. For a second there, I didn't know quite what to do. But the message finally got to my legs and I set sail. I .can't begin to describe how I felt when I saw the ball clear the fence. Time seemed to stand still for an instant. Then I ran. Nobody told me what to do when I went up to hit in the ninth inning. The score was tied, 9-9, and I knew the only important thing was for me to get on somehow. I let the first pitch go by. I was waiting for a high, fast ball. The second pitch was a fast ball - much like the one I hit for a homer in the first game - and I knew I got good wood on it. That was some scene when I came Into home plate It looked like half of Forbes Field was there waiting for me. I didn't care, though.. The umpire Bill Jackowski cleared a path for me. I made doggone sure to touch home plate, though. I wouldn't miss that for the world. Getting back to the club house was a real struggle, but I enjoyed every minute of the way. All I could see was a lot of faces in front of me. It reminded me of being down town on New Year's Eve. - When I finally was able to get Into the clubhouse, I felt like I had gone IS: rounds with Floyd Patterson. I was really pooped. In all honesty, though, we wouldn't be where we are today if it wasn't for the pitching of Vern Law, Elroy Seventh Blacks i Win Over Reds McLoughlin junior high Blacks tipped the Hednck Reds 6 to 0 yesterday in a sev enth grade intramural foot ball game. f Roger Johnson went 50 yards, on the first play of the fourth quarter to score. The Reds threatened in the final seconds but the Blacks took over the ball on downs with 15 seconds left to play. - The Blacks tied the Hed rick Blues 6 to 6 last week. Face and Harvey Haddix. Everyone on the ball club did his share. I'm glad I was able to con tribute a bit, too. Hockey Bv United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE Montreal 4, Detroit 3 -.
