Ambition
Of Byrne
By WILL GRIMSLEY
BROOKLYN uC-Tommy Byrne
Is a frustrated pitcher who wishes
he'd been smart like Babe Ruth
and changed to an outfielder.
"I've always had ambitions to
be a hitter," the wiry North Caro
linian said today alter pitching
and batting the NeTv York Yan
kees to a 4-2 victory over the
Brooklyn Dodeers in the second
game of the World Series.
"If I had it all to do over again
but it's too late now I'd
have been an outfielder."
Byrne, uncorking a strikeout
sure slider in the clutch, yesterday
became the first left-hander both
to go the full distance and beat
the right-hand-power Dodgers dur
ing the entire year.
Also it was his slashing single
over short which scored Ebton
Howard and Billy Martin with the
runs which proved the final margin
cf victory.
"That was a pood wallop," the
35-year-old castolf beamed proud
ly. "I liked it."
It's hard to try to pull Byrne
cut on his pitching prowess with
out being escorted down another
lane dealing with bat work,
j "I rpmember T bntted .507 mv
'last year at Wake Forest, led the
Southern Conference in hitting,
he said. "I hit seven home runs
at Seattle last year and batted in
49 runs, I think. Not bad for a
pitcher."
Byrne is a lean, hollow-cheeked
college graduate wiUi a gift ol
gab on and off the diamond
and a unique approach to his pro
fession. Shunted down to Charleston.
W.Va., in 1953 alter being discard
ed by four American League clubs,
lie thought his baseball days were
ended.
"It was then I took stock of
myself," Byrne recalls. "I told my
self I was a man who could solve
intricate problems in calculus but
who hadn't mastered the simple
dimensions of home plate.
"I was terribly wild. I was try
ing to blow the batters down with
sheer power. So I got smart. I
changed my pitching technique,
mixed in. sliders, curves and
change-up stuff. And I learned I
could help myself by using psy
chology in needling the batters."
The result was Byrne was a win
ter sensation the Soutli Ameri
can winter league in late 1953,
winning 13. and a 20-Bame winner
in 1954 with Seattle of the Pacific
Coast League.
That's when the Yankees brought
him back to the big time an act
for which Manager Casey Stengel
will be eternally grateful. Byrne
helped propel the Yankees into the
World Series with a 16-5 record.

Victory Puts
Bums On Spot
BROOKLYN Uti It begins to
look as it the Brooklyn Dodgers
lost momentum as the remit of
winning the National League Pen
nant so early and somehow can't
get back into stride. '
Manager Walter Alston says
"no" but tho victory of the New
York Yankees in the second game,
4-2, after the Yankees won the
opener 6-5 put the Dodgers almost
hopelessly behind.
You don't need 10 fire up a
bi(t league player for the series.
He's always fired up." :-aid Al
ston. T definitely don't think win
ning the pennant early hud any
Ihii g to do with it."
The Dodders clinched the pen
nant Sept. 8. The Yankees had to
subdue the Cleveland Indians in a
strrtch fisht that carried within
two games of the end. Despite Al
ston, it looks now as if tho Yankees
have dash and flro -and the Dod
gers haven't.
Sports Cont'd
From Pages 10-11
Billy Martin, whose triple kay
oed Don Newcombe in the sixth
inning Wednesday did not hit a
three-bagger in 70 trips during the
regular season. Billy, who still is
on leave from the Army, slammed
two triples in the 1953 series.
Newcombe's gopher ball habits
Jnust be an increasing cause for
concern to manager Walter Alston.
Don gave up 36 homers to Nation
al League batters this yer. fin
ishing third to Robin Roberts of
the Phils with 41 and Warren
Hacker of the Cubs with 38.
Wednesday was the eighth time
the Yankees beat the Dodgers by
one-run in World Series play. They
defeated the Brooks 3-2 and 2-1
In 1941, 2-1 in 1947. 1-0 and 4-3 in
'49, 3-2 in 1952 and 4-3 in 1953.
It was the fifth time in their six
World Series against Brooklyn that
the Yankees walked oif with the
j first game victory. The Dodders
; only won the 1952 opener when
, Joe Black bested Allie Reynolds.
!
If you've ,jot any buttons v:i-
gered in an inning pool, the fourth, j
uining looks like a thoo-in. Not
only have more runs (G already
been scored in this frame in the
'55 classic, but in World Series
history the fourth inning has been
the biggest run-producer with 269.
The seventh inning is next with
28 runs followed by the first with
254.
Bob Tiirley. whose major leaque
background indicated he pitches
well late in the season, finished
the regular campaign with four
straight victories. The Yankee fire
baller last lost to the White Sox
3-2 on Aug. 28. With Baltimore in
1954, Turley won five of his last
six games.
For the "He Shoulda S;arted
Someone Else'' department:
Brooklyn relief pitcher?! Don Bes
ser.t. Clem Labine and Karl Snoon
er have irivcn up or.lv two hits in
j 6 2-3 inninqs while hurlimr shutout
i ball, walking- two and striking out
six.
Brooklyn's Don Zimmer. who
mtde a couple of errors Thursday
did not make as many as two in
any one game during- the recttlar
season. In fact, he made onlv 12
miscues all year to wind up with
a fine .970 fielding overage.
The scries likely will produce a
two-club mark for double plays.
The record for a game was shat
tered Thursday when six twin-kill-Ines
were reeled off, brinninjr the
lotvl for the two games to nine.
The seres standard is ei-rht for a
four-game set. 12 for a five game
series and 14 for both six and seven
games.

tionally televised p.nd broadcast
10-round bout at the New Capitol

Troy, who recently out-grew the
middleweight class, is favored be

Meet SMU
i By BILL FKRC.I SOX
I'nited Press Snorts Writer
ATLANTA (UP) Georgia
Tech's Bobby Dodd, for many sea
sens the top razzle-dazzle man in
Dixie, has reverted to the old
Tennessee "waiting game" and
Saturday he'll pit tne conservative
new look .against the wide-open
attack of Southern Methodist.
The Mustangs of SMU. pretty
much of an unknown quantity after
an openmg 17-0 loss to Notre
Dame, could force Dodd's Engin
eers out of their shell with a
couple of early touchdowns, but
otherwise Tech will probably try
for a win on SMU's mistakes.
At racking up victories over
Miami and Florida, 14-6 and 14-7
respectively, Dodd unveiled some
of the tricks he learned as a play
er at Tennessee under Coach Gen.
Robert Neyland. the master of the
"waiting game.'
Dodd tins season has the back
fie'd to play a wide-open game,
and the Engineers might turn to
such a gume this weekend if
Southern Methodist develops a
scoring punch.
However. Dodd is playing the
conservative game strictly out of
choice. A talented running attack,
powered by halfbacks Paul Hoten
berry. Stan Flower?, Jimmy
Thompson. George Volkert and
fullback Ken Owens, is tailor
made for the type of bull control
needed in the "waiting game.''
The kick-and-wait game paid off
against Miami and Florida, both
strong teams, and the oddmabers
say it will work against SMU. The
Engineers are six-point favorites.
Auburn, the only other undefeat
ed power in the Somh?pst hesides
lech, also taces a suit test tms
week against Florida. 'The game
could turn into a running battle
between Florida's Jack Simpson
and Auburn's Fob James, two of
the best open-field men in Dixie.
James in one game this year
got away on touchdown runs of 61
and 76 yards, while in another
game, Simpson scored on gallops
of 48 and 101 yards.
Three Southeastern powers have
bieathers as Mississippi meets
North Texas Stale, Miami plays
Florida State and Mississippi
meets Memphis State.
In rougher intersection competi
tion. Louisiana State faces Rice,
Tulane takes on Northwestern.
Tennessee plays Dul:e, Georgia
squares off with Clemson aud
Kentucky tries Villanova.

viewed as likely.
The Slate Game Commission

The Deschutes National Forest,
however, will have a 3-day closure

law synopsis since west o( the
Cascade summit the' cither-sc
areas are restricted largely to
agricultural and adiacent lands.
Theru will be wide areas ol poor
visibility if the rains continue, the
commission cautioned.
Tjrning to areas, the commission
said this is the outlook for the
weekend:
NORTHWEST
Throughout the Tillamook Burn
hui'.lin-r should be excellent if the
weelher clears. Doiifc log mav be
expected it rains continue. Pros
per ts nre excellent at lower ele
vations, with fringe areas near the
green feed of agricultural lands
holding he.' t chances. Hunters are
cautioned to jet permission before
enterlmr private Kinds. .In the
Southern Willamette area ihe open
ing weekend should be good if the
weather clears enough to set the
fo? out oi high country. Archers
do not need to check in at the
McDonald forest archery area, but
must check Mil anv deer killed.
SOI'TMWKST
Most Josephine County high alti
tude country will be unproductive.
Low' hills adjacent to the valley
should be best. In Jackson County,
the Cascade Mountain country con
ditions a'-e good and although the
lower hills near the valley floor
are drier Ihe buck pomilntion is
good. The deer are In good condi
tion on all ranees. In Coos and
Curry counties the openinc week
end prosopcts are fair and rain
there could make conditions excel
lent. Best bets are in old burns.
recent logging and around foothill
farms.
CENTRAL
Ochoco National Forest should
be good, espcially on the east half
and in irw Luokout Mountain Pro;
lective Assn. area. To enter the
protective association land a $1
permit, obtainable at Ernie's Sport
Shop in pnneville, is required.
The no.lh dopes of Maury Moun
tain should be fairly good. In the
Deschutes National Forest the beet
spots seem to be in the La Pine.
Chins Hat, Spruig Butte and
Meioltus areas. In both Ochoco and
Deschutes forests the deer seem
now to be fairlv well scattered.
NORTHWEST
Deer are numerous and there
are many fine areas. Snow has
fallen at higher elevations and
doun to 6.000 leet. Ror.ds may be
muddy and chains should be car
ried. Morrow and Wheeler County
prospects are good and in Wheeler
County especially success ts likeiy
to be best near agricultural lands.
Permission to enter usually can be
obtained. There is an over-popu-lat.on
of deer in the Cherry Creek
anu K.'.hler Basin. Gilliam County
should be only fair. Grant County
pi aspects, though, are excellent.
Spme of the better areas are
Hitler, near the mouth oi I,ong
Creek; Greenhorn Mountain north
cast ol Bates: middle fork oi
Canyon Creek above the archery
area; Indian Springs area south of
Strawberry Mountain; and the
Frenchy Butie area near Izee.
Gram County forest roads should
be passable. Wallowa County
premises good success with some
of the better areas around Harl
Butte, Marr Flat. Big Sheep Creek,
bled bprmgs, promise. Whiskey
Creek. Day Ridge and Kuhn Ridge.
Pack trips should be very success
ful in the Imnaha-Snake River
area. Umatilla County also offers
good prospects of success. The deer
are widely scattered in Baker and
Union counties and excellent suc
cess is in prospect. Many deer
have been attracted to isolated
allslta lields. Hunters are cau
tioned to gel permission before
entering private land and to be
careful of livestock. It may be
necessary to carry water as some
springs and -iinall Mreains have
