o - , NEW YORK (AP) With an Impressive first game victory be hind hem, tne lievi iorit Yan kees today had jumped from 2i-l to 4-1 favorites over the Cincinnati Beds as the World Series moved into its second game. A (air, cool day was predicted for the windup of the opening two-game phase of the series in Jv'ew York. After Friday off for travel, the firing resumes Satur day in Cincinnati. ; Roger Maris, fresb from his 61 jiome run season, was a bust And the other half of the Yan kees' main slugging punch, Mick ey Mantle, was benched. But the Yankees used a simple one-two home run salvo by two lesser ac claimed heavy hitters Elston Howard and BUI Skowron to scuttle the Reds. 2-0, in a tight series opener Wednesday. D RALPH TERRY . . Yankee Hurler . Whitey Ford's masterful two hit pitching gem was the big con versation piece of the opener. It marked the doughty Yankee left hander's third successive series shutout and put him in position Sunday, in a likely second start, of topping Babe Ruth's record of 29 2-3 consecutive scoreless in nings. Ford now has 27. Today's second game, starting at noon (Eastern Standard Time), pits Cincinnati's wlnningcst pitcher, Joey Jay (21-10) against Yankee Ralph Terry (16-3), who last Oc tober had the misfortune of cast ing the pitch which Pittsburgh's Bill Mazeroski clouted for a World Series-deciding homer. ; Each club was expected to make a slight lineup revision to day. i With Mantle, still bothered by an aching hip, expected to sit it ..f ..Main V-.nl, rtn UHM P!r-fe Houk indicated Johnny Blanchard would start In right field instead of Hector Lopez with a right hander going for the Reds. Maris, who failed to get the ball out of the infield' Wednesday and struck out once, will remain in Mantle's centerfield spot. And Blanchard figures to provide bet ter punch than Lopez in Maris' Customary right-field berth.

With Terry. a right-handed pitcher. Hutchinson prefers to have the left-handed hitting Cole man face Terry ahead of Post and Freese, both right-handers. However, based on Cincinnati's lack of offense Wednesday, the Reds have a long way to go to strike any terror into the hearts oT Yankee pitching. : Only Eddie Kasko, with a first fining single, and Post, slamming 4 fifth Inning single, were able tn solve Ford s superb delivery Ford used oly US pitches In ty ing the Reds into knots.

Mantle Still Out With Hip Injury NEW YORK (AP) - Mickey Mantle definitely will not play in today's 6econd game of the New York-Cincinnati World Series and most likely will not return to the lineup until Sunday, when the Yankees and Reds meet in the fourth game. The switch hitting slugger, who slammed 54 home runs for the Yankees during the regular sea son, hasn't fully recovered from minor surgery for the removal of an abscess on his right hip. He sat out Wednesday's opener, won by the Yankees on Whitey Ford's two-hitter and hpmers by Elston Howard and Bill Skowron. :"I can't play tomorrow," Man tle said emphatically Wednesday night. "The wound Is still drain ing and very painful. I don't have any trouble swinging right-handed but I can't swing left-handed at aP. Also, I can't throw and I can't run, either." Since the Reds intend to follow right-hander Joey Jay, today's pitching choice, with Bob Purkey another right-hander, in Ihe third game on Saturday, It's very un Okely that Mantle will play until Sunday, when Cincinnati Manager Fred Hutchinson is expected to assist from third baseman Clete Boyer. Boyer made a fine play on Freese'i smash in the second in ning, but he really thrilled the crowd of 62,387 in the eighth as he made a diving stop of pinch-, hitter Dick Gernet's blue dart and threw him out from his knees. The luckless loser was Jim O'Toole, who hadn't yielded a home run since July 2 in 16 regular season games. The Cin cinnati lefty, who finished the Na tional League season with a 19-9 record and had won his last eight decisions, was the big series hope of the Redlegs. He did a strong Job of halting the heralded Maris, but the blows of Howard and Skowron simply underscored the fact that the home run lightning is likely to break out anywhere in the well balanced Yankee lineup. O'Toole pitched himself out of two bad jams with the bases loaded In the first, and with two Yankee runners aboard in the fourth. When he was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the eighth, he had yielded six hits. J i m Brosnan finished for the Reds with a hit- less eighth, although walking Yogi Berra, who sets a series rec ord virtually everytime he picks up a bat or glove. The Yankees former star catcher, who now patrols left field in a quaint but efficient fashion, is in his 12th series and Wednesday appeared in his 69th series game. Ford, 32, from Lake Success, N.Y., Issued only one walk and, in striking out six, swelled his own World Series strikeout record to 69. Ford also now holds the undisputed series record with his eight victories. He also has start ed more World Series games than any other pitcher, IS. There was nearly a rhubarb in the fifth Inning when the busy Boyer, tagging out Post cruising from second to third, was rudely jolted by the 215-pound Redleg outfielder. It was a sort of foot ball brush block which caught Boyer flush in the mouth. The crowd booed Post lustily, But Boyer, said "Post wouldn't nave oeen a good Baseball player II he didn't try to knock me out of the baseline." Series Facts and Figures By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS W. L.

Mantle took batting practice Wednesday swinging only from Ihe right side. The first time, he couldn't hit a ball out of the in field. In his next turn in the bat ting cage, he tagged a couple in typical Mantle fashion, one ball winding - up in the left field bleachers. Roger Marls, Ihe other half of the slugging M and M twins, had a bad day at the plate. He failed to hit safely in four trips to the plate, popping up, striking out. grounding out and fouling out to the catcher. "I don't feel, too badly about it." he said, "as long as we won." The 27-year-old slugger, only man ever to hit 61 home runs in a season, said he was confident he would get back in the groove against the right-handed Jay. A left-handed hitter, Maris has had his difficulties with southpaw- pitchers since Joining the Yankees in I960. He hit 49 homers off right-handed pitchers this past season, 12 ott left-handers.

Come the World Series, with Mantle on the sidelines and Marls handcuffed by Red pitching, and it was the Yankee infield that took the spotlight in an opening game 2-0 victory over Cincinnati. This - is doubly true if pitcher Whitey Ford is counted as part of the inner defense. Ford pitched his third consecu live World Series shutout victory (last year he heat Pittsburgh 10-0 and 12-01. He was helped along by two oth er inficlders, catcher Elston How ard and first baseman Moose Skowron. Howard hit a homer to the far right field corner in the fourth, and Skowron blasted into the left field stands in the sixth for the only scores of the game. Throughout the fielding of the Yankee infielders was. flawless, and Clete Boyer at third was sen sational.

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Jack Larscheid is a diminutive lad, who is never known for an excess of words around the Itah State campus, nor in its football locker room. But this Saturday the native of Pleasant Hill, Calif., is going to have a lot to say on the football field at Laramie. Wyoming about Utah State's chances of staying atop the Skyline Conference. The Aggies take on power- packed Wyoming, led by its all- around quarterback Chuck Lam son, and the winner could possibly count (he Skyline Title for IWI as its own. O Larscheid. an atl-conterence se lection who was voted conference back of the year last season, could prove Ihe dilference. So far this season he has paced the Aggies to ELSTON HOWARD ... ha h't ona In the second he trapped a hard smash by Gene Freese that easily could have been a hit, and threw him out. In the eighth, pinch hitter Dick Gernert slammed the ball to Boy er's left. He managed to stop it, fell flat, and then got to one knee and threw out the lumbering Red leg. Ford was so much master of the situation that the Reds never got a man to third. The closest was Wally Post who singled in the fifth, advanced to second on Gor don Coleman's grounder, and went charging toward third on Darrcll Johnson's rap to Boyer. Boyer tagged out Post, who hit the Yankee third baseman hard, nearly knocking him down. Ford Close To Series Shutout Top By YOGI BERRA Written for The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) I feel like hanging up my typewriter: So much has happened in the last 24 hours. Maybe I ought to hang up my but for popping up in the first inning with the bases loaded. But we won the first one and that's all that matters. No matter what happens in the remaining games there are two Yankees I will always remember. They are Whitey Ford and Clete Boyer. This was the greatest game Whitey ever pitched be cause of how he got the job done and because he was under pres sure through the seventh inning when ho got Gene Freese with a man on. If he'd a popped one into the seats it would have been all lied up. That makes three straight shut outs or 27 scoreless innings in a row for Whitey. I'd have to go back five years lo Don Larsen's perfect game to find a better pitched World Sc ries game. Two singles and a walk because from out in left field it looked like Ford had Frank Robinson fooled on a sharp break ing curve that almost got the in side corner. But Ed Runge (Amer ican League umpire) said Robhy checked his swing in time and we're not supposed to argue with the men in blue on pitched balls in the series. Whitev's sinking fast ball, curve and slider were his best pitches and he certainly mixed his pat tern well. My hat goes off to Ellie Howard, too. for the game he caught and for the home run he hit. As lo Boyer. well when we played the old Brooklyn Dodgers we thought Billy Cox was a great glove man. Well, Clete Boyer is Ihe greatest. People talk about his 'great hands. Heck, they're nor mal site. It's his reflexes. Conference Title a 3 0 record, scoring three touch downs. It has been his elusiveness and dangerous running that have opened up the delenses. The question is; Can Wyoming silence Larscheid long enough to muffle Utah State's bid for its sec ond straight conference title.

His name is Jack Curtice and his Stanford Indian grid squad has scored stunning upsets over Tulane and Oregon Slate in their first two games of 1961. Cactus Jack, who watched his team lose all 10 starts last year, is beaming broadly these days. His latest triumph was a 34-0, rout over an Oregon State club that was favored by two touch downs.
