MEDFORDviWTRIBUNS SPflDMT! Y INCHES; HANTS GET EV20ST GLORY Richardson Stop Ends Final Game By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sparti Editor San Francisco-IUPH-The New York Yankees won the World Series, but the vanquished San Francisco Giants won the hearts of baseball fans the world over. They finally bowed to those mighty Yankees, who arc long accustomed to win ning, but midnight did not toll for this Cinderella team until it went as far as base ball law allows. The Giants had the poten tial winning runs on the bases before the bell finally tolled in the ninth and final inning of a season the likes of which the sport never has seen. So the Yankees wound up with most of the gold, and some of the glory, too. The rest of the gold and most of the glory went to the bat tling Giants who finally bowed out on a screaming line drive, which a few inches, one way or another, would have brought San Francsico its first world base ball championship. Terry Is Winner But it was not to be be cause of Ralph Terry, who up until this year knew nothing but heart-break in World Sc ries competition. He made up for all of that when he pitched the Yankees to a 1-0 scintillating triumph which gave the New Yorkers their 2ulh Series victory In 27 tries. "Well," sighed Giants man ager Alvin Dark, "They've al ways said baseball Is a game of inches. That's exactly what it was in that deciding game." "We came so . close, o close," he kept repeating. "I thought we were going to win it nil the time until little Bobby Richardson speared that line drive for the final out." "Richardson sure was in the right spot," said the Jubi lant llouk, who now has won two American League pen nants and two Series in his two years at the helm of the Yankees. "That was the only break of the Scries. Wo had Rich ardson slanding just where Willie WcCovey lined that smoker in the last inning. "If he hadn't been, the ball game would have been over." Not Out of Fans Thus the Yankees won again and the Giants who had been battling from behind all season finally ran out of gas by those few inches. They didn't, though,, run out of fans. They won their hearts when they lied the Los An geles Dodgers for the Nation al league pennant and then won in the third and deciding game of the playoff. In that one those ncver sny dic Giants went into the ninth Inning trailing. 4-2. They pulled it out with four runs. "It didn't occur to me that we wouldn't pull this out out, "either," said Dark.

ONLY RUN The one and only run of the seventh game of the World Scries at Candle stick Park In San Francisco yesterday came in the fifth inning when the New York Yankees had the bases loaded and one out. Here, Yank's Bill Skowron, who scored the run, looks down the line as Tony Kubck A By MILTON RICHMAN San Francisco -IUPU- They're winners and still world cham pions but the never-satisfied New York Yankees promptly went into the trading market today for another front-line starting pitcher. Even as tne happy Yankee players were downing cham pagne in their Candlestick Park clubhouse, general man ager Roy Harney revealed he was hot after another pitcher. "We're going to make every Conkright New Coach At Oakland Oakland, Calif. -UPC- Wil liam (Red) Conkright, former University of Oklahoma grid star, took over today as chief mentor for the faltering Oak land Raiders of the American football league after the team fired head coach Marty Feld man. Conkright, 46, who played professional ball for nine years, had served as defensive coach under Feldman since the beginning of this season. Feldman was released Tues day. The Raiders, who made their AFL debut in 1960, have lost five straight games this year and have been plagued with poor attendance at nome games, under feiaman, wno took over from Eddie Erdelatz after the first two games of the 1961 season, the Raiders have won two contests while losing 13.

The run gave the Yankees their 20th world title in baseball. (UPI) liner. All I can say is that we did our best and it wasn't quite good enough." llouk paid tribute to the crestfallen Giants. 'The Giants have n real good ball club," he said. "We were evenly matched. There was just that one break. It went our way. It could have gone their way. I can't recall a Scries in which so few mistakes were made." What a Scries it was. II started back on Oct. 4 and took 13 days matching the longest World Series on rec ord way back 51 years ago, in 1911. There had been a day's de lay for the slarl while the Gi ants beat the Dodgers in the playoff. Then there were four postponements because of rain one in New York and three here in San Francisco and there were two days off fur travel. The Big Play In the end, it was a double play ball that spelled the dif ference after 200 games, in cluding spring training exhi bition tills. lor Ihr Gianls, and 198 for the Yankees. Terry, a 23-gatne winner during tlie regular season, and Jack Sanford, who won 24 (or the Giants, were locked in a scoreless duel before 43,048 fans in Candlestick Tark for four innings. It was the third time these pitchers had met in the Series, with honors all even, Sanford hail beaten Ter ry in the second game, 2 0, and Terry had benten San ford in the fifth, 5-3. Now In this meeting there lie Mays' bid for a line drive double clown the left field line. For McCovey followed with a booming triple to right center field, only to be left stranded on third base when Orlando Cepcda fanned. The Yankees really threat ened to break the game wide open in the eighth. They filled Hie bases with no one out on an error and singles by Trcsh and Mickey Mantle. Dark yanked Sanford then and called on left-hander Billy O'Dcll. who on five pilches retired the side with out a run. He got Roger Mar is, the home run king of 1061, to ground into a force play at the plate, and then Elston Howard to hit into a double play. So they went Into the ninth. Matty Alou pinch hit (or O'Dcll and he came through again, this time with a per fect bunt between the pitch er and second base. Giant hopes soared, but Terry, determined to up for past failures, bore down and struck out Felipe Alou and Chuck Hiller. That put Willie Mays, one of the greatest of our time, up al bat. Doubles To Right With the count two balls and one strike, Willie rifled a double clown the right field foul line. The soggy outfield "I could see the ball when it left the bat, but not real good," said Richardson. "It was a sinking ball. I know I'd get my glove on It, but I wasn't sure whether I'd catch it or not." He caught it. The ball game was over. Huskies Leaders In Big 6 Stats San Francisco - (UPI) - Wash ington's powerful Huskies dominate latest Big Six foot ball statistics. Washington leads in total offense 308 yards per game, total defense 208, rushing of fense 246 and pass defense 73. Other leaders include South ern California in rushing de fense 121 and the University of California in passing 147. The loop also pointed with pride to its four unbeaten members and its 14-5-2 total record. possible attempt to get one, and a good one, too," he said. "I don't think we can afford to sit back and relax." The best bet to wind up in Yankee flannels at the mo ment is hard-throwing right hander Larry Jackson, who won 16 games for the St. Louis Cardinals this year. Cardinal general manager Bing Devine says he's "open" to offers for Jackson, and while he doesn't divulge whom he wants in return, an educated guess would be catcher -outfielder Johnny Blanchard and shortstop Phil Linz. Talked To Orioles Harney also has talked to the Baltimore Orioles about both Milt Pappas and Chuck Estrada but has no success so far. The logical conclusion is that the Orioles asked what the Yankees thought was too much. It is something of a coinci dence that the man who wrapped up the 20th World Series for the Yankees was a righthanded pitcher who came to them in a 1959 trade. Ralph Terry began his pro career with the Yankees, was peddled to Kansas City in 1957 and then was re-acquired two years later along with Hector Lopez for Jerry Lumpe, Tom Sturdivant and Johnny Kucks. Terry, the "goat" of the 1960 World Series in which he served up a homer to Bill Mazeroski that won the cham pionship for the Pittsburgh Pirates, went through the emotional wringer Tuesday. "I thank God for giving me a second chance," he said, un mistakable tears showing in his light blue eyes. "Honestly, I'm the luckiest guy in the world," he said over and over again.
