CINCINNATI. Ohio (AP) The
World Series flares anew Satur
day after a change of scenery and
certainly a change of prospects
for the lightly-regarded Cincinnati
Reds in their post-season cham
pionship duel with the New York
Yankees,
The Reds, seemingly well out
classed in losing Wednesday's
opener, came back to life in New
York Thursday with a 6-2 decision
that proved the Yankees mighty
human after all.
But while the lankees were
playing Alphonse and Gaston with
themselves as the two-game New
York phase of the series conclud
cd, the Reds uncorked the same
type of performance that con
founded the experts while they
ran off with the National League
pennant.
Strapping Joey Jay wasthe
pitcher against the Yanks his reg
ular season 21-9 record stamped
him to be. But additionally, Cin
. cinnati's cast of unknowns pro
duced a couple of sideshow whiz
zes in Venezuelan second baseman
Elio Chacon and reserve catcher
John Edwards.
When the series third game is
played at Crosley Field Saturday
U p.m. Eastern Standard Time),
the Yankees will find themselves
hammered down to 2 to 1 favorites
from a 4',i-l choice prior to the
loose frolic Thursday before 63,083
in Yankee Stadium.
As for the third game in which
Cincinnati's knuckleballer, Bob
Purkey (16-12) faces New York's
Bill Stafford (14-9) the Yankees
are a 7-5 pick to triumph in the
cozy confines of Crosley Park.
The forecast for Saturday is fair
and pleasant.
In the three games that now
must be played in Cincinnati in
the best-of-7 series, the Yankees
are expected to be bolstered by
return of ailing Mickey Mantle,
who sat out very gingerly the
two New York games because of
an infected hip. i
Certainly Mantle's long-ball hit
ting is needed to offset a terrific
swoon thus far by Roger Maris,
the man who set an all-time sea
son home run record with 61.
Maris, still hitless in seven se
ries official at-bals, has struck out
three' times, twice being whiffed
Thursday by the 6-4, 225-pound
Jay. Roger hasn't hit a ball out
of the infield in the series.
Although he allowed only four
hits, Jay kept walking himself
into and pitching himself out of
trouble, no small thanks to the
5-9, 163-pound Chacon from Carac
as. Venezuela.
Chacon, substituting for regular
Don Blasingame, who had a
jammed finger, started two crack
ling double plays, a department
in which Cincinnati supposedly is
hurting.
But Chacon's big feat was an
explosive bit of base-running on

a short passed ball for an un
earned but decisive tally in the
fifth off Yankee loser Ralph Terry
which put the Reds ahead 3-2.
Although the Yankees commit
ted three other errors, the big
miscue was when Terry pitched
a slider which eluded catcher El
ston Howard in the fifth with Vada
Pinson at bat and Chacon on thud
and Eddie Kasko on first.
The ball rolled only about 10
feet from the plate and was quick
ly retrieved by Howard. Chacon
set sail from the plate "on his
own" but neither Howard nor Ter
ry was aware the flying Chacon
was in full flight until it was too
late. Terry hung back instead of
covering the plate, and Howard
first looked to see if Kasko was
heading for second before making
a futile dive at Chacon racing
home.
As events turned out, that was
the ball game, but the 6-4, 220-
pound Edwards, catching in place
of ailing Darrell Johnson, still was
to taste some World Series glory.

Again, in a weird eighth inning;
Freese was walked intentionally

final Red run.
The Redleg eighth, in which
lefty Luis Arroyo proved anything

Berra flitting from a hero to goat
role.
Berra, who slammed a two-run
homer in the fourth to gain New
York a 2-2 tie, let Post's drive
whistle between his legs for a
three-base error, setting up the
second Red run of the inning. Ber
ra seemed to have the ball caught
for the third out, but it sank rap
idly and streaked past him to the

Bob Purkey, who will pitch for
Cincinnati against the Yankees on
Saturday in the third World Se

split the first two games at Yan

The Reds, behind right-hander
Joey Jay, defeated the Yankees
6-2 Thursday after Whitey Ford
had shut them out 2-0 in a south

opener.
"We gamed confidence by win-i

Purkey out for the game in Cin

of rest, counting today's off day.
