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."

him to throw in the ball for
the last time and call it quits.
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.

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.

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.

over radio and television for

The plea went unheeded,

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
