OREGON Never Bet Against the Yankees! pei irk dud Took Vktoiry Kuzava Cuffs Bums In Amazing Relief Stint Br GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK Two main con clusions may be drawn irom the World Series which ended yester day with Brooklyn again In mourn ing, for the sixui time. The first is that Mickey Mantle, a 30-vear-old from Oklahoma, is destined to become recognised with m a few more seasons as the great est baseball player in the history of the game. The kid can't miss. There's no defense against him. The second, equally inescapable, Is that Casey Stengel, the bemused manager of the New York Yankees, gets advance information from the elves before he makes each move. It would be difficult to prove that he isn't the smartest pilot the game has seen. His coaches are convinced luat he is. Mantle's contributions to his club's 4-a Series clincher yester duy ' at Ebbets Field were mare spectacular than Stengel's. Every one In the arena saw the "Phee oro" clout the home run and the single In successive innings the flrst lefthanded. the second right handed to put victory beyond reach of the Dodgers. WHIRRING Nobody saw the wneeis wnirrmg to Casey's head when he waved in Bob Kuzava, to pitch to Duke Snii er, the hottest of the Dodgers, will the bases filled and only one our, in the seventh inning. But they were whirring, all right, and it is almost certain mat Stengel anew the blond southpaw from Wyan dotte, Mich,, would stop- the Na tional Leaguers lead lrom there on. Provided he does not go into the service, Mantle will be stUl bet ter -next year. In only his second season the kid has done everything for the Yanks that Joe DiMaggro did, in an inspirational way. . There was some debate last night whether Mantle or Johnny Mize, the old codger, was the outstand ing Yankee in the Series. In this spectator's opinion. It was no con test. NOT GOOD Mize, it is true, came In when things were not looking too good midway of the- series and made number of tremendous contribu tions to the Yankee cause. In fact, be put them back in the contention when they appeared to be Ucked. But Mantle was in there all the way. scaring Brooklyn pitchers to death and fielding like an angel. Stengel Won't Retire BROOKLYN W When Casey Stengel, the millionaire manager of the New York Yankees, decide to call It a career he wiH be best remembered for; I. Zany antics during his career t. that he became the second 'manager in big league history to win- four straight World Series. a. That he became the third pilot to big league annals to win icur consecutive pennants. Sung el assured one and all Tues day that he would be back in 1953 following the Yanks' 4-2 victory over Brooklyn in the seventh and deciding game of the thrilling lb2 World Series. "I'm not thinking of retiring." the squire of Glenrtale, Calif., bel lowed in the uproarious Yankee dressing room. The only other manager to win lour straight blue ribbon classics Is Joe McCarthy, pilot of the great Yankee teams of 1936-38. McCarthy and the Fiery John McOraw are the only other leaders to capture four consecutive pennants. Mc Oraw's New York Giants won the National League flag from 1831 through 1824. He led the assault which enabled the Yanks to tie It at 1-1 behind Vic Raschl on Thursday. He pro vided the insurance second run in Allie Reynolds' Saturday shutout by tripling in the ninth and scoruig on Peewee Reese's error. His home run on Monday proved the winning run in the 3-3 Yankee victory which sent the playoff to the seventh game, and he killed the Dodgers completely dead with his two big ones yesterday. HITS .345 In all. the Mick propelled 10 hits In 39 appearances for an average of .345. By an amazing coincidence this was exactly what Reese and Duke Snider did for the Brooklyn cause. Snider, for a time, looked like being the hero of the Series. In fact, the big swinger from Califor nia battled the Yanks right down to the wire while others on his company failed to last. But in the end he had to yield honors to Mantle. The most unfortunate figure was Joe Black, Uie big Negro rookie who rocketed the Dodgers in front with a beautifully pitched triumph over Reynolds in uie opening game out was turned oack oy Aine s shutout in the fourth. Manager Charlie Dressen obstinately held Black out of Monday's Yankee equalizer in order to have him well rested for yesterday's big one and then Joe didn t have it! THREE INNINGS Black sat the Yanks down very smartly for the first three innings yesterday, and we like to feel, as an expert second-guesser, that he would nave done uie same thing the previous day if Dressen had only put him in to protect a 1-0 lead In the last three innings. After yesterday's third inning. It may be conceded. Black was tired and wavering. So was Ed Lopat, and Vic Raschi, who tried to take Reynolds off the nook. Preacher Roe, who came in alter Black had given up, didn't have a thing except a long time between pitches. SECRET WEAPON And that was the point at which Stengel wneeied out his secret weapon, Kuzava, the only pitcher in the park who wasn't about to collapse of the blind staggers. Stengel used the same tactics against the New York Giants a year ago. It was Kuzava, perhaps the most obscure southpaw in mod ern history, who snuilel out the final three Giants In the '(1 World Series. He did It again. The Dodgers popped up or struck out or sent harmless flies into the stiff breeze blowing into the plate. When Reese Hied to Gene Woodling for the final out in short left field, the Yanks climbed all over Kuzava and gave him a wonoenul onioning. And Stengel went around thank ing each of the little men whom nobodv else could see. he told each of them, personally, that he had done a whale of a job all year. and that be would see him next spring at the same old stand. f tk B HURO, tPORTS EOrTflR '. m . mm r i 1 ' I 1 mm tc.V' v. i Bruins Work On Pass Defense LOS ANGELES (J) Defense again promised to be a teeture of practice at UCLA Wednesday as the Bruins prepare to meet an outstanding passer for the fourth straight time this fall.

A dump eyed Jackie Robinson expressed the general opUilon ol the cre.itfullen National League standard beurers. "It was that Mantle, that Mickey Mantle killed us. "II 11 hadn't been lor him 1 think tills would have been a very different series. SO l.OSK "We came so close, we had so many opportunities. But Mantle was the dlllerence." Joe Black, Brooklyn's brlllliinl rookie righthander who started three of the games, winning the llrst and lruuiui two Including yes- trrday'a 4-2 clincher, gloomily observed: It gnaws at you. It tears you inside. We got so many men on hn.se. We kept Haying to ourselves mis la it,' and uien uiere was that let down. II would have been belter if we'd had our bruins knocked out, lost 1IM). wo would nave leu Detier about It." ManUe. aurrounrd by well wish ers, was uncertain over Uie type ol pitches he belted that decided the issue. Illl I'tUVE "I hit a curve or slider lor my borne run (in the suun and a miliar pilch for my auigie (in Uie seventh)," The homer broke a 2-2 lie and the tingle drove in an insurance run. "Winning Uie aerira was greater Uirlll than my burners. yes even greater than my grano alammer against Uie While Box during the regular season," Mantle said. Jubilant Casey Btengel, at Uie Yankee helm the past lour sea sons, held court all over Uie room. Old Case praised Mantle and relief pitcher Bob Kuzava, assured one and all that ha waa not retir ing and Uien launchd Into a de scription ot the game.

"Then our next pitcher I Allie Reynolds) pitched real good but he got a little tired and ae did our next one (Vic Raschl) and Uiat lella (Kuzava) came In there and reallv look me out of a lam."

"Tliut Kuxnva was burning his fast ball III Micro," Dressen said. "He was very quick." Dressen also was high in Ills prnlne lur Reynolds, who won two gumrs and saved another. "ManUe and Mite hurl iih but In the long run H was Reynolds who gave us Uie most trouble. He's big iiiur strong, a great pllchcr," Dressen snld, CAN'T HIT Brooklyn's Inability to lilt with men on base were Uie turning points of Uie deciding game, ac cording to Dressen. "We had men on llrst and third once with one out, Uien we had the bases lull with one out and again we had the bases lull with none out," Chuck lamented.
