Yes, this comes with Rogers and I, everyone. This is Jerry Doggett with Vince Coney and Al Alpert.
I'd like you to stay with us now as we get set to play the Pittsburgh Fire.
All the doings are set your way with the compliments of the F&M Caper Brewing Company.
Brewers of America's oldest soccer bears, Caper.
And also with a compliment to the American Tobacco Company.
On behalf of Lucky Strike, a light smoke, the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.
Now as the game gets underway for real enjoyment, have yourself a foaming glass of Caper.
It's a real bear.
If I were to stop you on the street and ask you just tell me the one thing they brew beer for,
what would you think the right answer would be?
For the look of the bear? For the gold of afternoon sunlight?
The snowy whites of the pillow of home?
For the taste? The rich, mellow flavor?
The zesty, appetizing flavor you don't always find?
Well, you'd be right.
But more than those things, what they brew beer for, most of all, is enjoyment.
Your enjoyment.
The kind of enjoyment that makes you scratch your lips and say, bring on another.
And brother, that is the story of Caper Bear.
It is brewed for enjoyment, for perfect looks, for tops in flavor, for your enjoyment, brew and brew.
It's right, Shaper, today. You'll see. It's real bear.
Well, today it's game number two of the series between the Dodgers and the Pirates.
Double-headed them all to wind it up.
And last night the Dodgers beat the Pirates at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City by a score of 4 to 1.
The Milwaukee loss coupled with the win by the Dodgers and the Cargills last night
reduced the Milwaukee lead to seven and a half games.
They still have three to play with the Cargills in the big series this weekend at Milwaukee.
Right now, here is our national anthem.
Put up your photo.
Well for today's game here at Evans Field, it will be Sandy Koufax going for the Dodgers.
The young left hander has won five and lost two and it's the only picture in the majors with more strikeouts than innings.
94 strikeouts, 80 innings and that averages out to 10.58 strikeouts for nine innings.
Against Koufax it will be Ronnie Klein who has been one of the hard-luck guys as far as the Pirates are concerned.
Klein has won three games and lost 15. He's made four starts against the Dodgers this year, losing three times with one no decision.
He has made seven lifetimes starts at Evans Field with no complete gains and there's only two victories at this park against six losses.
We're in relief from 1955.
So for today, Sandy Koufax against Ronnie Klein. Line up cards being exchanged by the umpires.
And let's give you a rundown now on the batting orders for this afternoon's play.
For the Pirates leading off playing in center field, Bob Slemethy.
Third base hitting number two, Gene Freeze.
The shortstop is Dick Throat and hitting in the cleanup position playing left field is Bob Skinner.
Frank Thomas playing first base hitting fifth.
Bill Mazaresky at second base.
Bill Ferdinand center field.
Hank Boyles during the catching and Ronnie Klein on the mound to do the pitching.
For the Dodgers it will be Jim Gilliam leading off playing second base.
Dodgers take the field mound.
Hitting second will be Kyle Barolo.
Duke Madder batting third playing center field.
Jill Hutchins at first base.
Elmer Ballo in left field.
Charlie Neal at shortstop.
Roy Campanella back in action, back at the plate.
John Zimmer hitting eighth playing third base.
And Koufax to do the pitching.
The umpires will be taker at the plate, Zach Coley, McCoy, and Landis on the base pass.
Boy, a beautiful day here at Brooklyn.
Just ideal, a fine, taper afternoon.
Hope we have a good, flat taper on hand as we get set for the ball game.
Better still, come on out here to Everett Field and see the ball game between the Dodgers and the Pirates, game number two.
Till that time, still plenty of good seats available.
Can't make it today. Make a note, come out, see the double header tomorrow, starting at 2 o'clock.
And Bob Clemente, the Pirate leadoff man, standing by, set to walk in and get the ball game underway.
Dodgers, one up in the series, game number two, ready to get started.
The F&M, Jay McBurn, company of Brooklyn, happy to thank you, play-by-play.
And for the play-by-play, here's Al Holtz.
Thank you very much, Jerry. Hi, everybody.
Bob Clemente, hitting right-handed, stepping up to the plate, batting a 2-4-9.
Sandy Kovacs, the Brooklyn left-hander, kicks and throws the fastball and rips it in at the knees for strike one.
And that's the second game, and the series has begun.
Bob Comete with four home runs and 24 runs batted in.
Gavinella pops him in up at the target now, and Kovacs goes back to work on the 0-1 count.
Another fastball, and it's a good foul up into the second tier off the first-base side.
No balls and two strikes. The count now on Bob Clemente. He'll be followed by Gene Freeze for third baseman, and then we'll have short-step big group.
Sandy Kovacs, as Jerry has told you, with a record of five and two, he's 0-1 this year with his first.
Sandy, quite a strikeout on it.
Gets ready to wear a mixed pitch in there to Bob Clemente, a right-hand hitter.
Down comes that pitch, fastball, and it's one foul off the first-base side. Again it goes to the second tier.
No balls, two strikes count.
As soon as we have any information on the other ball game that's being played this afternoon, we'll most certainly pass it on to you.
Kovacs again gets his drive from Gavinella working the plate today.
The 0-2 pitch, Kovacs overhands third ball, lays in there high, and that's ball one.
Two balls, two strikes.
Kovacs taking plenty of time at the outset of his ball game. Flicks his glove, shaking off the side now, accepts the next set.
One of his one and two, fastball, and there's great in there low.
Two balls, two strikes, the count on Clemente.
That's serious, but they have a great fairing on the outcome of the National League race.
We're St. Louis and Milwaukee whacking away at each other.
The Brooklyn Dodgers have a golden opportunity playing against the last place Pittsburgh Pirates.
They took those deliveries by Kovacs. The fastball is outside and the count is three and two now to Clemente.
Dan Buzzing here this afternoon. It's ladies' day and we have plenty of not-holds here.
A few little acres. Kovacs sends it in there and Clemente takes the pitch at Harvard ball four.
Clemente gets things started for Pittsburgh, drawing a base on balls.
That'll bring on Gene Freeze, right hand hitting third base.
And we have a batting percentage. Gene Freeze is hitting it 284.
He has five home runs and 22 runs batted in.
Bob Somarejo, who likes to run the bases, is on it first. Takes the lead and hard to hold the corner.
Kovacs, the left-hander, hides in and throws over there and Clemente hard to get ahead of it.
Cashew just hooked up with us. We're in the top of the first inning.
The first man Clemente was walked by Kovacs, the starting pitcher for Brooklyn.
He's working now through Gene Freeze. The job is high on the side and Clemente was up going.
He'll be down now with the ball and no strikes on Gene Freeze.
The plate up fire here for this one this afternoon is Phil Baker.
Frank DeCroce is at first base. Frank Sicori is second and Dan Landis is working on it third.
Clemente moves on first base now. Kovacs fixes the plate, plays the fast ball in and beneath for a strike.
One ball and one strike count.
Ballboard here has ball two. Baker definitely is giving it the right arm.
As Jerry mentioned a moment ago, this is a real shape of day. It's a damning.
Overhand fast ball and curve is into the tank. That's the second one.
Ballboard, comes up ball three.
One ball, two strikes count. On right hand hitting Gene Freeze with Clemente in first and nobody out top for first inning.
Just getting underway. Kovacs this afternoon going against Ronnie Klaas.
Kovacs has been tagged once by Pittsburgh this year. He hasn't beaten them.
Kovacs continues to pour that fast ball in there and is very effective with it.
Now pick up 95 strikeouts.
With Clemente at first and one off, DeCroce comes up. He's up and over six figures.
With a 3-31 batting average, five off runs and 39 runs batted in.
Former collegiate athlete, DeCroce is at first, right hand hitting shortstop.
Stands about mid-wind, batters forks all the way around.
Clemente steps away from first. Kovacs pitches the plate, DeCroce takes the pitch into the dirt.
Cavanaugh comes up with a nice block. One ball and no strike count.
Milwaukee first in the National League. As of the moment St. Louis riding in second place, seven and a half games off the base.
They are just one percentage point ahead of the third place Brooklyn Dodgers.
They are also seven and a half games off the base.
Then comes the number four, team Cincinnati 10 games back.
Comin' out to 12 behind.
Bob Clemente at first having been won. Freeze struck out, Grode is up there.
Big man with wood down Fitzberg way this year. They're putting their hopes on him for the Interactive books.
Third ball, he swings on it, hits it down a short. Up with it, down the seal, throws to Gilliam for one to throw on the first.
And there's the double player.
So that happens quick in a hurry. As the Brooklyn Dodgers come up with their first double player of the afternoon and their 104th of the year.
Double player short this second of first.
No runs, no hits. Nobody left on, throw nothing across.
This is going to end up having any.
Fitzberg nothing and the Brooklyn Dodgers have nothing.
We can report that the word has come along now that Bobby Smith, the Fitzberg pitcher who was held at the pregame workout, has regained consciousness and is alright.
He was hit by a throw by Bill Burton while taking part in the off field during the pregame infield drill.
And has to be carried to the Fitzberg's dressing room on a stretcher that Bob Smith is coming around and will probably have a finger in his head.
Okay, back to play, get down.
In the last half of the first inning, Jim Gilliam steps up to lead things off for the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Gilliam batting a 2-5-1.
1-0-1, 29 runs, batted in.
Right-hander Ronnie Klein works fastball to Gilliam and gets it off the pitch from the corner, first strike.
Ronnie Klein, 3-15 with the lead, 3 wins, 15 losses.
The Dodgers are concerned, he has not beaten them and three times they have tagged him for defeat.
Big draw, follow, kicks and throws, big curve ball, it stays outside and high, the ball one.
One ball and one strike.
Ronnie Klein has made four strikes against the Dodgers this season, this is his step of luck at it.
He's made seven lifetimes starts at Emmett Field and over three games.
Gilliam swings on the next pitch, hits it to the alley and left center coming over for the center fielder Burton and falls it down all the way.
Gilliam is off.
One out here in the last half of the first inning, there is no score on the ball game.
The eighth place, Fitzberg's Marriott, 29 and a half games off the plate, battling the third place Brooklyn Dodgers.
One and a half back and no one.
Carl Furlow, whose batter has been just about as hot as Fiddle, in ten games he's hitting 4-5-2, 283 overall with the lead.
Right hand hitter, Klein comes to him with a fast ball and falls down to the right side.
First baseman Thomas Upwood, he'll make the play by himself and Carl Furlow is out.
One-two down, last half of the first inning, about an hour's group scatter.
Here at Emmett Field this year, the Dodgers have hit 58-hundred-48 games.
As Snyder leads the parade to 14, Gamonella chimes in seconds with nine and Hodges has eight.
He's got a great lead at all times at Emmett Field.
Thomas is 66.
Snyder ground working with Snyder after the fast ball.
The rifle is at the right field, it's going to bang up against the foreboard out there and run the way for Bermette.
Snyder's running right in seconds, Bermette throws, Snyder takes seconds standing up and ball gets away.
He's close up growth and Snyder goes on down to the other side.
Bermette's throw in, getting away from short shot growth, comes in the back at second, so Snyder didn't inflict side.
He kept right on door.
Bermette's throw is low into the dirt and it looks like a scuba.
So it'll be a single to right field, a double to right field for Snyder and have him moving over on the curve base on Amera charge to Bermette, the right fielder on a low throw.
Well the Dodgers have something cooking here in the last half, the first inning was too hard.
Snyder's on his third and Gil Hodge is up there.
It's a wild one way up above the head of everybody, looks like a break comes in to score.
A double forward by Amera on the sequence of the play, and then a wild pitch gets Snyder into score this one.
The Dodgers lead it 1-0.
Hodges of course has the count of 4-1.
Ryan on court that great big one, he expected to be a curve ball, a slow curve and it was so high that that coil from the first catcher wouldn't even leap up to get it.
Hodges would scramble out of the way, he didn't want to be part of it either.
Still batting it 3-0-7.
Last half of the first inning, the Dodgers lead it 1-0.
So far in the inning they've had a hit, a couple bites now to do that field.
An error on a throw by Cormacay, throwing into the third of second base.
And then a wild pitch.
That's what's going on, it's going up the first base line, three times it slips, the first base is dry and that's all for Hudson.
Throwing away a rather a gift run here in the first inning but the Dodgers really kept it.
One run on one hit, there was an error and nobody left it on.
So far at the end of one inning of play, Hudson one and the Vickney-Fittsburg Pirates have doubled.
Now before we go to the top of the second, let's get over to Jerry, he's got a word for it.
Hey I don't know about you but my idea of a height of convenience is to save myself steps.
Like moving our guests in the house and I want to spend the time seeing them, not running back and forth to the kitchen.
That in a nutshell is why the Schaeffer Partyside full port bottle is ideal.
Why you get yourself a glass Schaeffer port when you got company coming in and you're all set.
Because when you open up a Schaeffer full port bottle, you can pour out four jug full glasses of real enjoyment.
And enjoy it they will, if they go for taste such as a bright and bright as a friendly greeting.
You serve your guests Schaeffer beer, some convenient Partyside full port bottles.
You'll appreciate these, you'll all appreciate the taste. It's real beer.
Well we're moving along now to the top of the second inning of the ballgame with Bob Skinner playing Thomas and Bill Mazaroff.
He's coming along to play standing. So Matt, go right back to play, here's round.
Bob Skinner hits number four on the Vicknsburg order, he's a big goalie and a tab hitter.
Well over six feet, this left fielder is batting at three-thirty. He has eight home runs and 28 runs to bat again.
Well it's the F&M Schaeffer Brewing Company, we move into the top half of the second.
We'll see if the Brooklyn Dodgers leading one to nothing.
In case you didn't get the action in the last half of the first inning, the scoring action we'll give it to you in a moment.
Dandy Kopacz, ready to go to work here on Bob Skinner.
He delivers fastball on the far back and helps his back foul for quick one.
After Gilliam and Burlow had put out, the sniper rifle is shot off the scoreboard in right field.
And then Clemente's low throw, trying to get Snyder at second base, got through Groats for an error charged to Clemente.
Third ball is hung on by Skinner, high pop-up back on the crash short left.
Charlie Neal with the sun glass flip, he's back there to cover, there's the first ball.
Run away in the top of the second and the batter coming on is Thomas.
Frank Thomas right hand hitting first base.
Frank's played all over the place for Big Bird, he's been their left fielder.
He's played all over the outfield, he's played third.
Now he's holding down first base.
Loweck comes down to end with a fastball and that's a little not bad.
One ball, no strike.
Loweck's worked right back on the one-oh count.
There's his fastball and Thomas clamps it to foul off the first base side, that'll go to the Tans out of play.
One ball, one strike count.
Brooklyn by virtue of their run on the bottom of the first, leads in the ball game 1-0.
Kovacs trying to new ball around the bomb free Tans.
Good to Slav, now he's ready.
Thomas moves that pass back and forth to a menacing lead.
Big Bullock can hit it if he gets a hold of it.
Kovacs delivers him a little fastball and that's a ram down the fairs.
He puts it out of the dirt, makes his play to first, and that's all the fun.
Two up, two down here in the top of the second inning.
And the battle now coming up will be second baseman, right hand hitting Bill Mezorowski.
Thomas went up there batting at 298.
Bill Mezorowski hitting at 292.
Two down, the base is empty in the top of the second.
Brooklyn leads it 1-0 with a fifth target pass.
Kovacs working on the hill this afternoon for the Dodgers.
Delivers another off, he cuts to the curve and doesn't get it.
That ball is one strike.
On the side of Jersey City, Brooklyn defeated, six first four to one.
Dodgers was credited with the win.
Hill one delivery, here's Low.
One ball, one strike down on Mezorowski.
Kovacs taking plenty of time working out that right winning function this afternoon.
Young folks on a pacing show.
Now he delivers one and one to Mezorowski.
A little twinge on the pitch and it's a high-pump ball.
That'll spin back to the Dodger dugout off to the right of home plate.
One ball, two strikes down on Mezorowski.
Now for the big double header, figure that Bob Flann and Wamie Douglas will be the Pittsburgh Bidu.
The curve is into the strike and that's the third and it's called.
That's the second strike out.
More Sandy Kovacs this afternoon.
And to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the top of the second, nothing is gone.
The score at the end of one and one happening to play.
It's Brooklyn one and the Pittsburgh Pirates have nothing.
Well you know fans all ball players, even the best of them, have off days.
Days when they can't seem to get the big hit or make the important play.
That is all just part of the game.
But now you think the business of brewing beer.
Now that's different.
You simply can't have any off days.
Briefly it's not if you're going to brew a pint of beer at Schaeffer.
No sir, there's never any let down in Schaeffer quality.
Every can, every bottle, every glass of Schaeffer is beer at its fresh.
You see only the very best brewing ingredients are used in Schaeffer beer.
Rich barley malt, hanging hops and other fine natural ingredients.
They haven't been carefully measured in front of it as only shop brew masters can do it.
And brother, that kind of expert brewing pays big dividends in flavor, Schaeffer flavor.
So for real enjoyment, you make a Schaeffer beer every time.
It's real beer.
Well we've got a real ball game going on here.
Second game of the period, couple of minutes tomorrow.
The Dodgers come on with a second battle, Neal and Campanella face Ronnie Flange.
So let's hop right back to Al from Wolf Way by Flange.
Talking about facing somebody, Jerry we've just gotten a warm up picture for that game between St. Louis and Milwaukee.
And Jackson will be pitching for St. Louis.
His record is 12 wins and 6 losses.
And Burkett will be going to the mound for the Milwaukee Braves.
His record is 11 and 7.
So the shoe balls, let's know what they're facing for this afternoon.
Al Mavallo here in the last half of the second inning coming on.
He's the number five hitter in the batting order.
Number three, Al Mavallo.
As a starter for the Buckeye Dodgers, and I didn't figure his issue was too much starting this year.
He was picked up as a great hitter at Duluth at the beginning of the year.
But as a starter in 23 ball games, Al Mavallo at San Judo is batting at 3-4-6.
Leans back to the client fastball and ball one to high.
Al Mavallo with the league is batting at 3-17 as he stands in right now.
Three home runs and 20 runs batted in.
His last moment was a polo ground just a few days back.
Time kick time for the fastball and Al Mavallo spins away from it.
The ball hits the bat and lands off three first strikes.
One ball and one strike.
One to nothing Brooklyn as they move along here at bat in the last half of the second inning.
Tomorrow a big double header and we sure hope you're going to be here with us.
Time kicks and first, that'll start the swing checks up in time and good time.
Two home runs and one strike.
Rob Brand and Wami Douglas.
Fits for the Pittsburgh Pirates against Sal Magley and Roger Cray.
Out the books and Dodgers.
Time delivers to one.
Pitch to Vallow is outside high ball three.
Then one, McDonough to Al Mavallo leading it off to Brooklyn in the second.
At the end of an inning and a half, it is New York one and Philadelphia one.
Time delivers three runs.
Vallow takes outside high ball four.
So Elmer gets being started for Brooklyn in the second of the ball.
First first run ball is given up by Vallow.
Shot in real a batter.
Short shot batting number six in a Brooklyn order.
Batting a 269.
Now home run 39 runs batted in.
Vallow stepping west first base with Thomas holding the corner on him.
Line checks up with the runners.
The winner's a plate.
Elmer has fast ball and the foul kicks into the dirt.
Good first in field, Thomas the third.
Bill Mazurowski second.
A short shot, big throw and a third is just three.
Now doing the Skinner in left.
Birdman in center.
Fox, Clemente in right.
Pittsburgh's battering, Ronnie's flying the pitcher.
Hank for the catcher.
A throw to first as Vallow for a bang.
Field one delivery on Johnny Neal.
Neal swings on it, taps and swings.
He left the pitch as long as Ryan off the ramp.
First and time to get Neal and Elmer Vallow moves on to second.
So before we have Roy Campanella, let's pause for safe identification.
This is the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.
Dial 1460, WOKO, your Brooklyn Dodgers station in Albany, New York.
It's 2.30, WOKO time.
Actual goal is remiss.
Campanella kicking dirt, batter's far, getting himself set to duck in.
Roy batting at 2.37.
One out, Elmer Vallow at second.
One to nothing Brooklyn.
Roy delivers, Campanella swings, gets a hold of it, there's a plumb drive deep into the left center field.
Roy Campanella has a little cross-dange over the cake.
Well, this 13th home run of the year, he now has 60 runs by the band.
Don Zimmer coming up.
Right hand hitting third baseman.
Roy delivers him a soft curve and it funds up the right field side.
At first base, Don must pick it up, steps on first base and that's it for Zimmer.
Actually, Don was trying to check each point.
Well, the do-out game is second inning, he'll bring on Sandy Koufax.
Gad is looking for his first base hit.
21 times Sandy has been up to the plate.
21 times he has come away empty handed.
Sandy Koufax will be back right handed.
We've seen Goal from either side of the plate.
He's come back right handed now.
A Nelsie King, a right-hander up and pulling down the Pittsburgh bullpen, along with Little Elroy Chase, another right-hander.
Glad to live in the curve and he picks it high.
One ball and no strike.
Plano, glad that the knucklehead actually every once in a while.
Goal is fastball and makes it go outside, ball two.
Goal down, the base is empty thanks to Cappy and Kieran Mulbrown here in the second inning.
The books and dogs are greeted now, three to nothing.
Goal is up to the plate, Koufax just straightens up and takes the pitch in there for the first strike.
Now the 2-1 delivery.
Koufax wants to fall, coming low.
That is car three and one.
Koufax, get on, get Gellium, we'll start the second batting go around for them.
John Reddy serves up on the 3-1 delivery and lays it in, looks like two.
We'll count now to Koufax, three balls and two strikes.
Koufax on the 3-2 pitch, lets the yet another corner for strike three.
Plano gets his first strike out of the afternoon in the second inning.
Paul Brupen, they pick up two more runs on Kampenalla's two-run home run, his first team for the year.
That was the one hit in the inning, they were all errors and nobody left on.
The score at the end of the full ball inning to play, it is for three-three and the Vickie Pittsburgh Pirates have seven.
What do you have to talk about now Jerry?
Well I want to talk about the game coming up and we've got a real sketch for tomorrow.
You know after tomorrow's Sunday doubleheader with the Pirates, the Dodgers fly to Montreal where they'll be taking on the International League All-Stars
including several future Dodgers that's Monday night and then it's back home for a long stare against the Western Clubs in our own league.
Cincinnati, a Twilight night doubleheader, Tuesday and a day game Wednesday.
Milwaukee, face-setting Waihe Thursday night, Friday night and for the Dodgers target camera day next Saturday afternoon.
The Mabill is startled in the title game next week and a big week in Emmett Field starting Tuesday night.
I'll tell you how often you'll be out here releasing your Dodgers.
Come out as often as you can and see as many ball games.
Boy there ought to be a fine bunch of them coming up.
Tuesday night they doubleheader with the Redlegs.
According to Marr they'll be doubleheader with the Pirates.
So lots of baseball activity right here at Emmett Field.
Well we move along to the third inning now with Bill Burton and Hank Boyle, Ronnie Klein due to face-sanding.
So fast and so perky for very more play-by-play.
Here's the foul. That's your foul Jerry. It's the last third of the Pittsburgh batting order here in the top of the third inning.
Three runs, two hits for Burton.
The Pittsburgh no runs, no hits.
And the Colfax about ready to spin the first pitch into the foot-down hitting center fielder.
Burton batting a two-five-nine.
The on-rides that's it. It's the Colfax fastball and it's high inside for ball one.
Elton King and Elroy Chase, a pair of right-handers, continue to work down on the Pittsburgh 10.
The reason for the lead is that better body gets on the line without making an appearance.
Colfax works his front-fires outside.
Two balls and no dice.
Colfax with the new ball.
Olsen ready to work.
Burton waves that chaletly around.
And the end of the play is the soon-to-be third ball and it's high off the chip. Three balls and no dice.
It's the greatest low ball for him.
And Burton drives a one-two-start finish in the third inning.
The second-and-fourth Pittsburgh catchers coming on out.
Duffinberg put together a right-hand hitter.
Starting at 268. Dix-O-Mans at 30 runs lead it in.
Duffinberg, nobody out. Colfax comes into the play for four-ohs.
Going on and down to New York short. He goes over to Gage.
It's like if the one that threw on the first pitch doubled play.
For both sides, Colfax is in trouble. The double play is far too after helping.
This one has the first one in the first inning. Goes from short to second and back to first.
So they're two down here and they drop to third inning.
Bryan coming up now at about 32.
Duffinberg and Johnny O'Brien sit down in the Pittsburgh bullpen.
Colfax fires to the plate and his fastball is low and outside to ball one.
Bryan has four hits and 44 drives out of this year and no runs batted in.
Starting at 091.
Dix is laid in there low. Two balls, no strikes.
Colfax back down for a visit to the Rocks bag.
Cabinella down with the clock up the side.
Bakes to the plate up fire over his left shoulder to get a look at the pitch.
Then it comes to Bryan hitting right-handed. Bakes it on the corner off the hand.
That's strike one.
Cabinella and Schaefer blowing, jumping in.
Bryan is running into Brown-Evans Field.
Hope he's not putting his Schaefer for the weekend now.
Overhand fastball, wait a minute.
Doesn't get it. That's strike two.
Two balls and two strikes.
At the end of two and a half and an eight.
It's one run between New York and Philadelphia.
Oates Coriand from Milwaukee.
Overhand fastball and an attempted funded pump.
That's it.
Bryan will be registered as having a struck out of his Colfax at Pittsburgh.
And the third inning coming across Pittsburgh.
Going to the end of two and a half and an eight.
It is a three and Pittsburgh has nothing.
How about you, friend, buddy?
Well, I tell you, Al.
Been in the city working a while.
Oh, yeah.
Now, coming to New York to see the old, maybe just bring the wife in for dinner at your favorite hotel.
They like the world.
Well, I tell you, it is a good idea.
Why not make it a real little vacation?
It's good for real enjoyment.
Stop overnight at your favorite hotel.
Take a day or two to see the Dodgers play here at Everett Field.
Catch a show or a movie you haven't seen or maybe some of the fights you've never gotten around to.
Oh, man, that sounds good, doesn't it?
And get off most anywhere you stop at New York's finer hotels and restaurants.
You'll find that for real enjoyment, they're serving real beer, caper beer.
Sure, capers are available at your favorite eating place as it is in your own home.
So when you step out, don't forget to order capers for real enjoyment at a cool, homey glass of real beer, caper beer.
Tell me something, Jared, did you tell your gal to get ready for the weekend?
Yeah, she's going to stop in the afternoon, going to bring her to Schaefer Court.
All right, boy, it's a good thing Jody knows about it.
We want everybody to realize the weekend is coming up and Schaefer Court is the real hand to have around.
Boy, that's the best way out.
Oh, man, you're about to play Gilliam coming on, so how about it out?
Good, yeah.
Just get him.
Get him up in the first inning and fly it out the center field to Bill Burton.
He's over one and batting it to five-one.
Roddy Klein on the bounce, it's red, ready to go to work.
He's giving up two-base hit.
One or two run home run, Duke-Campanella.
Soft serve is laid in there and Gilliam takes it off the hands on the corner for strike one.
A ball, no strike down.
Call for a home.
Schaefer Ward winners on back to go next.
Curve ball laid in there to get any backstop and take the ball for ball two.
Two balls and no strike.
Roddy Klein, the fifth-place pitcher, punch, kick, and throw.
Cast ball and Gilliam, whoops it down back to first-place.
Thomas down, takes it out of the dirt.
He'll make the play by himself, does, and there's the first time.
One away in the bottom of the third inning.
Call for a home.
Bounce shot to first base, Duke-Frank Thomas, not assisted in the first inning.
Well, it's over one and batting it to 82.
Three-up in Brooklyn as they bat here in the last half of third inning.
With all, there'll be a pair of plays between these clubs.
Ryan Delivis Perillo swings with the high foul ball, which is going to be popped right back over the dugout, and it goes out of play.
No ball is one strike on Carl Perillo.
It'll be followed by Duke-Snyder.
Ryan swings at the action again on the 0-1 down, throws the pass on, and a little high, just above the letters.
One ball and one strike to Perillo.
One observation screen, bottom of the third.
The 1-1 delivery, swung out by Carl, lifted to left center field, going back for it, but the break in the wall is going to be a little bit, all of it is.
Carl gave up on a mighty ride, but wouldn't be able to get to it.
Well, that's the second half, the last half of third inning.
That is coming up now, the Duke-Snyder.
He's got the dodges off on the right foot here this afternoon. When he ripped the double off the wall and right, he kept that on riding into second base, and so many drew four.
And Pat, the covering shortstop, gets those for now, huh?
That is up to third base.
Six to R is over the shoot-cups for ball one.
Got a wild six.
All of the following batter, Hodges, got the run-in.
One of the delivery deciders, swung on, bounced away foul, first base drive, and into the crowd.
One ball and one strike from Snyder.
Billy Herman, Hodges out of third.
Flaps his hands to get in.
The old boys have encouragement to do.
Last pitch is the scalar, outside nine.
Two balls and one strike down on Snyder.
That pitch looked as though it had partially gotten away from the line.
Two-one off-ricks.
Big curve outside nine for ball three.
Snyder up on the three-one count.
When the last half of third inning, two down, the base gets the effort from Leeds in the ball game, three to nothing on two base hits.
Well over next to base floor, Snyder's doubled in the first. And after a fair walk with one-on, Campanella hitting 13-one run into left center field.
This is the Snyder outside for ball four.
Oh, they're two-out.
Now there's one-on.
The last time Ryan Walsh, the man, became home to Hodges.
Now let's see what happened for Hodges when he got in the first inning.
On a ground ball to three, Eugene Free, that's retired as Hodges in the first inning.
Three-nuping David Woodward. Two down, Snyder at first.
Back to work, now as he checked up with Snyder at first, the look of the plate and Hodges.
Looks at the curve, it's on the corner knee-high, over strike one.
That's a good shot, it takes the lead at first. Draws a throw properly, that keeps it close.
If you play the clear ball, it has Hodges spinning back out of there.
One ball and one strike.
Two-and-a-half, tomorrow, again, it's brand-new, when he does it.
Daniel Bryan, back up in the flooring again, now on the Pittsburgh stand, now in the left field line.
Bryan, is the plate, he gets it in there for Snyder, I get it in there to Hodges for the strike.
He's taking his lead, a car-sick lead. One ball, two strikes down on first base for Hodges, follow to the Hodges, get on.
Down comes the pick, Hodges straight, late in there for strike three.
That's it, it's in the third, no runs, no hits. No errors, one man, try to let the first base.
The score is in the three, full of things to play. Now, it's in the three and it's worth nothing.
If the other ball comes to start the score, let's go over to Jerry and see what he has on that shape of scoreboard for us.
All right, now, Jerry, it's a silly that Philadelphia won one of the other, but they're happening to play.
Gomez started, Monzac came on the third, Stanford going all the way up to this point for Philadelphia.
Ball game tied, one-one. St. Louis and Milwaukee, it's Jackson against Burdetta, no reports.
That's the ball game now, under way about 15, 20 minutes. Jackson 12 and 6 and Burdette 11 and 7.
Cincinnati playing at Chicago, Japs go it against Hillman.
And for Cincinnati, Robinson the homeowner in the first inning was none on, so the Red Lakes weep by at least one or nothing, but the inning is not completed.
In the American league, Baltimore and the Yankees go to score at the end of two and a half, four, replaced by O'Dell in the first inning and chance for the Yankees.
Chicago, Detroit, the White Sox have scored four times in the first inning on a home run by Vinnie Mononco with a base of four.
That inning is not completed yet, but Chicago leads by at least four to nothing.
Washington, Boston, and Washington, Washington.
Chicago first, Miami is in the first inning, and it's later now pitching.
Boston and Washington, Washington scored five in the first inning and leaves Boston five-nothing at the end of one and a half.
For Neal, it's a four to field against Cameron. Tonight it will be three for the Kansas City win against Scarborough.
Well, that's everything off the statement scoreboard, so right back to the action.
All right, Jerem, right now it's Romany against Colfax who fights a versus as we start the fourth inning. Romany walks in the first, he's up three seconds at bat.
Radelfman swings on the first pitch and lets the ball back to the trees like once.
Boston, Romany, the number one hitter in the Pittsburgh batting order, this is followed by Gene Freeze and then by Bruce. Danny Colfax, who's been in front of all games so far, in a pretty easy state this first, comes back to the place of the soft turn.
Romany, pounds it off the right field, Carl Burlow backing up near the board, holds it down, and there's the first stop.
One away top half of the fourth inning, the batter coming up now is Gene Freeze.
Gene struck out in the first inning, giving Colfax his first of the three strikeouts he's picked up today.

Finding the corrugated gate.

Up one pitch, one man out.
John and Neal drops his swing back in the second inning and roll the ball to the left of Richard Mounds.
Ryan came down to field to throw him out.

Charlie Neal is on with one out and O'Farr is here for station identification.
This is the Bookman Dodgers radio network.
Dial 1460WOKO to a Brooklyn Dodgers station in Albany, New York.
It's 3.02 WOKO time.
When Roy Campanato sets up the plate in the second inning with Amita Ford,
he promptly hits one deep into the left center field stand.
So home run.
Now Clive serves up and Campy takes the curve over to strike one.
Roy batting at 2.40.
Isn't it funny to see Duke Catchers' greatest, Campanato and Farah,
have been over the last few years, both having a tough time of the week.
There's a throw to first, Charlie Neal gets back.
More that there, it's been having trouble by a base hit.

Then she goes on the front after the mile to talk to the Flyers.
Dondick Colfax will be the Brooklyn batter.
Charlie Neal, bird three to four, on third.
Roy Capanella is the Brooklyn base runner at first.
Whatever Danny Murtaugh had to say to his pitcher,
the message has been transmitted and he's on his way back to the Pirate bench.
Johnny O'Brien, a couple of right hands, one tall and skinny.
O'Brien short and squat, out the bullpen to Pittsburgh.
Round of the stretch, looks down to Colfax.
The pitcher's swung on by Sandy and looks it out into right center.
Coming in for it is for many the drawn backboard second baseman,
Mother Rough, he handles it pretty odd, and that's a thousandth round.
In the board, a run's one hit.
Two men are left on, no errors.
And the score at the end of four, four enemies a play.
It is Brooklyn's three and the Pittsburgh Pirates have two.
Geno Somoli, downplayed by the big eight.
It's possible that Carl Berdahl could be having a little trouble,
but Geno Somoli's coming in now as a Brooklyn right fielder.
Somoli in his right field now, four foot ten.
He'll take over for Rillo's spot in the batting order, hitting number two.
Those who don't enjoy legs folks, now we'll move into the top half,
hitting number five with Bill Burton, Sandy and Pittsburgh.
Colfax comes down to him and the left-hand hitter swings and misses on a low curve ball.
He's like what?
But he has three and a half innings.
The actors are leaning for the ball, three nothing.
Colfax works the blade on the O-1 count, the soft curve,
it's hit down to the right side.
Gilliam tries to get it, but he's eluding,
he's passing him in the right field for a base hit.
So Burton is on.
They got the ball, it's now the time to run on.
Swing to the right, hits through the hole between first and second.
Burton is the base runner.
Coming up is Tank four.
Those who also can hit that ball a separate mile for, if you pitch it and it's what he likes it.
He's hitting it 267.
Colfax carefully sets, checks his runners, delivers a blank four,
swings, doesn't get a fast ball.
Strike one.
Colfax slides out of camp another time.
He hooks to Burton and pitches a blank four, oh,
reaching for an outside curve ball, punches it off to the right foul,
that goes into the crowd.
The ball is to his right.
Colfax is busy wrapping up a new Apple.
Burton represented a tying run for Pittsburgh,
planning close to the basket first base,
holds the corner on him.
Colfax curve is slammed out into right center field.
That's going to be in for a base hit, maybe for extra bases.
Bill Burton has made the turn.
He's on his way to third.
The ball goes to the corner and breaks in the wall,
and Burton comes on in to score, and Hank Foyle, the big guy, has tripled.
Oh, that makes a new ball game out of it.
All the triples with the biggest success of right center field.
Give them a run out of air.
That's hit number five, run number three on Colfax.
Now it's all tied up three-three.
Soldier, you don't like the complexion of it, just wait a minute.
All these National League teams are sure about batting each other's brains off.
They'll come up to bat for themselves.
The Brooklyn infield draws in tight.
Hank Foyle, who has just tripled in the tying run,
Burton for first base, is on his third himself, representing the tie breaking run.
Colfax ready, delivers, the pick is swung on,
and Hasek Fowle off to the right of the plate, up on top of the roof.
Probably strike one on Ronnie Clark.
Let him combine up at a bigger, eight-throwing down on the Brooklyn bullpen.
All tied at three-three.
Colfax checks his runner at third, delivers the plate to Klein, takes it outside and high.
One ball and one strike.
Colfax taking plenty of time.
Now it's Campanella, pops the middle of the target.
Fowle's hands on it, bleeds down on third,
takes a couple of chopping steps down at Colfax, delivers the pass,
and it's swung on at the plate to Fowle's dip.
One ball, two strikes count on Ronnie Clark.
Nobody out for Pittsburgh here in the top half of the fifth inning,
and the lead runner's on his third.
The single-ball and five-triple has tied this ballgame up at three and three.
Colfax down to the plate on the one-two count,
pitching high and outside for ball two. Two balls, two strikes.
Ronnie Klein aware of two-two, 22.
It's all right hand hitter at the plate right now for the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Sandy, eyes the letter, Fowle's at third, delivers two-two,
overhand fastball, swung on, and misses for strike three.
Colfax hangs up the strikeout here underneath for thinning.
Sandy now has a total of four for his work this afternoon.
Bob Sclametti, right hand hitting right fielder,
starting the third batting go-around for Pittsburgh.
Colfax is lost in the first, flies to right, and they both inning.
So he's a hole for one, hitting a two, 48.
The high-breaking runner's third can still be got down on the track for five-five balls.
And a Brooklyn infield still plays up ahead of the base pass.
Colfax delivers, Sclametti swings, and doesn't get one.
It's a tight off the base.
No balls in one strike.
All walks up here, three-three.
Colfax, hit a far outfitting departs, Sclametti,
high-breaking runner third in the first of Hank Foyle.
Down comes that pitch, and Sclametti lays off and takes it high.
One and one.
The bar is still cranking up down in the Brooklyn bullpen.
He's not ready if manager Walden also wants to use him.
Sclametti, oh boy, is waiting in place.
Colfax lets him cool out a bit as he ganders over third base of Foyle,
then delivers one-one, fast ball, hits through the hole,
a good stop into the left field.
Sclametti comes in in the trot to score the run to break the tie.
Sclametti is on.
Ball rammed through the hole, it short and into left.
That is the sixth hit and the fourth run given up by Colfax.
Pittsburgh region now four-three.
And with one out here in the fifth inning,
Sclametti is on to first base with a batter coming up.
And there's Freeze who has struck out and wants up to third base to darn Zimmer.
Freeze coming back to get a new pass.
Four runs on six hits for Pittsburgh, for Brooklyn three runs and three hits.
Each side has had a home run hit four of them.
Each case was a two-run home run.
Skinner had one for Pittsburgh and the fourth camp another hit his
in the second inning for Brooklyn.
A throw to first as Sclametti leaps it back at that bag.
Four-three, Pittsburgh out in front.
At the end of two-and-a-half innings, it is St. Louis three and Milwaukee nothing.
Milwaukee batting last half for third.
Down comes an overhand fast ball.
It goes for it.
Freeze will be followed by Groves.
These second-in-the-mission ball clubs have really been raising havoc for both clubs that have been fighting it out the first division.
That's a fire that's come to life.
At the swing on, there's a high-flag ball hung along the left-footed line coming over to Delford Valley.
It's near the fast. It cannot get it. It's back about four rows.
Long, large strike. It's being praised.
Down is O and two.
Drop half of the fifth inning at Everts Field.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are at bat. One out, one on, and they're leading four to three.
Go back to the hunch of the shoulders. It's ready. Now, she straddles the rubber.
Looks over to Sclametti at first.
Down, down, the freeze.
It's going on in right. Far all down to the field. Drive into the second tier.
Go back to ready O2. A check of Sclametti at first base. Delivered to Jean Freeh. It's an overhand fast ball, and Jean pops in from the back foul. That'll catch the wire.
O ball, two strikes.
Go back, trying to fair it on here. Get out of it. It's cheaply as possible.
He's off the
and he's down half the fifth inning, giving up two runs.
He delivers the play to Anne Freeh. Takes the curve in there for strike three.
Oh, that's a second odd. Go back, picked up number five.
While we're waiting for Dick Brooks, I'd like to pass a message on to you from the American Tobacco Company for the big things in your lives.
Be ready with United States savings bonds.
Save the effective way. Save the automatic way.
Save through payroll savings where you work or regularly at the bank.
Dick Brooks, the leading hitter. Percentage rise on the bar. Ball clasps. Takes a curve high. Bucks go back to ball one.
Low hit into a double play in the first inning and then came along in the fourth inning and doubled to left center. He was on when Skinner unloaded his two run home run.
There were two outs at the time.
Bob Cometti, who has hit him, the go ahead run for Fitzburg, his little lead, fired runner in first base.
Go back still concerned with him as he gets ready to pitch to Grove.
Down the levers, the fast ball is tied outside. Two balls and no strikes.
The par is here in the first inning. He scored two runs on a single, a triple and a single in that order.
Two runs on three hits.
Go back, checking up on Cometti in first base as hard as he holds it there.
Now they do nothing to every unright hand batting Dick Grove.
Fast ball and Dick swings on it's target.
Two balls, one strike.
The other four innings from the Delphiets three and a giant one.
The Yanks and Lyas after the fourth came up with a run.
The other four and a half innings, the Yankees out in front four, nothing over Baltimore.
The end of three full at St. Louis three and Milwaukee nothing.
Just a right hand Chicago tied at the end of two one one.
The others pitch is swung on and hit away foul.
Spins back as he meant.
Two balls, two strikes, two outs, one on.
Top half of the fifth inning.
Two runs and some short by Fitzberg and that picks up the lead here in the top half of the fifth inning.
Score four three.
All set now to pitch to Dick Grove.
Comes down to him with a slow curve and goes after it and hits a high foul ball.
He'll spin away from Hodges as he runs to the stands.
The soft curve is taken by Grove.
Four three.
Dick's got to go for that high one.
Laid off at just the time.
So with two outs and a three two count on Dick Grove.
But Lometti at first base can be off and running from Fitzberg.
He wouldn't go back off.
Lometti goes, the pitch is swung on and followed away into the stands off first base side.
Lometti gets the foul ball, which is up and out of the reach of his spectators.
Three two count now on Dick Grove.
Lometti ready to break again.
He bowls instead as Kovac turns and throws first.
Hodges returns it.
Top half,
Lometti drives.
Top arrives right along.
Three two.
The Giants is not far in the fifth inning.
Goadard will be leading them three to one at the end of four and a half.
Lometti is still in the Brooklyn ball stand.
Richard Fitz.
The trade is taken inside for ball four.
The third one.
That'll move for many to hundred seconds.
Alderholtz comes off the foot of the bench and he's moving out pretty fast.
Third one's given a pass Andy.
Time for two out to two on from behind here, four to three.
Maybe they're going to bring Clint LeBion in now to fix to what's down here, Skinner.
Big fella takes quite a cut with that chilele.
Got under one and sent a sky high pop up back into very short that field.
The second inning.
For his ninth home run of the year.
Lometti has given him his instructions.
The MGR man comes walking back now to put some bench.
Two out, Lometti is on his second, Big Grove is on his first.
Skinner sending in Bob Batting at three fourteen.
Go back to the stretch, check of the runners, the rovers play pictures low.
One ball, no strikes.
Big fella asked, wait on fire, Baker for a new ball.
Walks one way back to the mound before firing it out to Colpax.
Bob Lometti, Pittsburgh right fielder, is there a place for runners in second?
Big Grove, the Shrugs drop it first, two down here in the top of the fifth inning.
Pittsburgh two times to pick up the lead for three.
Colpax delivers, Skinner takes.
The pitch is under the knee.
It's ball two.
Pittsburgh and Brooklyn will be playing a doubleheader here at Heavensfield tomorrow.
So, Maglin and Roger Craig are scheduled to be the Brooklyn starting pitchers against Bob Friend and Charles Wammy Douglas.
Bob Colpax ready to pitch to Skinner on the turn up he's got.
Runners with leads in first and second.
Colpax down to the plate.
Skinner takes.
He's got that ball, a little again, that's ball three.
Colpax to the guy Skinner gives you the impression he's trying to aim these pitches.
He'll ride them in there just where he wants them.
Left behind three nothing.
Delivers, left ball, inside off the hand, ball four and that blows her up.
Colpax goes out to second.
Wammy moves over to third.
Walter Rostes says, I've seen it now.
I get the messy.
They bring me on Kreml by.
Puts right out of the book from Roger Craig.
I just motioned down to pretend to come on in.
Colpax goes four and two third innings.
He's behind four three.
Kreml by comes on.
We check up on Kreml by's record.
I think then has all of the particulars on the ball games that are being played this afternoon.
So let's get over to Redhead here and find out what's going on.
Well the Giants and the Phillies at the end are four and a half innings to play.
The Giants won.

Gomez-Montana and Constable four of the Giants.
St. Lawrence and Milwaukee, the Cardinals lead three nothing at the end of three and a half.

Many of them also hit a grand slam home run in the first inning for the White Sox.
And Waiters did a home run in the second with two on at five three.
White Sox at the end of two and a half.
Washington leads Boston six nothing at the end of three and a half back of Kämmer.
Bonilla has four to field and Menarche is the Boston.
Eddie Yost is ninth home run on the fourth inning with nobody on for Washington.
So that will make it now seven to nothing in favor of Washington still hitting in the fourth inning.
Cleveland and Kansas City they will play tonight.
Oh you're right it's eight on all the scores that we have for you.
We're in the fifth inning with two out and the Pirates leading the Dodgers four to three.
Place is loaded.
Thomas will be the batter and we'll find out about the find.
Let's get right back to Al.
Bruce Graham coming into his 53rd ball game comes into a rather unenviable progression.
As Ben told you the base is jammed as Frank Thomas up there.
Glenn is not seeing picture of record in this one as it stands but we'll give you his record in case you might picture in it.
He's five and six.
He has 17 saved so far this year.
The base is loaded.
Frank Thomas standing in with two outs.
Curve ball spins him back out of there.
It tracks in over the chest.
One ball to no strike.
This is the eighth man to come to bat for Fitzgerald in the fifth inning.
He can score twice and the base is loaded.
Chase is starting Richard Sandy Copac.
It's the first ball into third.
The line ready.
It's checked out for a minute at third.
He delivers the curve ball and it's outside and low.
Two balls to no strike.
Now it's Thomas.
Pittsburgh four runs on six hits.
Brooklyn three runs on three hits.
LeBarn to pass it to Thomas fifth.
Three hits and a couple of ones.
Beginning of produced two runs and the bases are right now loaded.
LeBarn and he's delivering to the plate on the two nothing count outside ball three.
Three up in delivery.
That's all his line done in the corner in the field.
That'll open the cover up.
The money comes in to score.
Right behind him comes Rhodes.
He's going to wind up at third on a slow end.
Down to second base.
Close Thomas for a double.
Double the left.
Those two runs are charged to Copac.
Runs five and six.
Well, Fitzgerald hit comes off LeBarn.
Before we have the next runner up, let's quickly pause for a second identification.
Brooklyn Dodger, radio network.
Dial 1460WOKO.
You're at Brooklyn Dodger Station in Albany, New York.
It's 3.30WOKO time.
Fitzberg's banner, the ninth man up, Bill Mazurowski takes a strike.
Runners at second and third.
LeBarn delivers.
Mazurowski takes a curve at the knees.
First base is open.
Runners at second and third, two down and they're just in.
This is the ninth man to come to bat.
In the fifth inning, Fitzberg has chased in four runs.
Deleted now, six to three.
The runner at second base, Thomas is the responsibility of LeBarn, who pitches the plate outside and loaves.
A ball and two strikes, now the count of Mazurowski.
Skinner, the runner at third, is the last responsibility of an out-of-partice fullback.
In the five innings, Philadelphia meets New York.
Three to one.
LeBarn delivers, one-two, and they pitch a short iron and loop.
LeBarn is going into very short left corner.
Going back, he's trying to make it open to shoulder, running right back.
And they're turning.
It was a big one for Fitzberg.
They got four runs on four hits.
There were two man left on.
Let's go again to four and a half, but he's a player to Fitzberg's six.
And the Brooklyn Dodgers have three.
Here's the last of the fifth inning.
Player at sixth, Dodgers three, Jim Gilliam coming up and right back to Al.
Well, where this ball came started, and he early searches of it,
it looks as though running side would be around very long.
He's not only around, he's ahead.
Fitzberg leads at sixth and three, and Klein is now ready to pitch to Jim Gilliam to start things in the last half of his set.
Gilliam is over two.
LeBarn comes in there with a fast ball, right under the letter, and it's like one.
Six runs, seven hits for Fitzberg, three runs, three hits for Brooklyn.
Slide back to the place of Gilliam.
Splats at him, hits a bounding ball to second, Mazurowski doubles it up, fires first base, and Gilliam goes down.
On the way in the bottom of the fifth inning, Eno Camole making his first appearance of the afternoon
after having taken over defensively for Val Perillo in the fifth inning.
Camole batting at three, oh three, with nine home runs, seven forty-four runs batted in.
Gets his motion started, the gangly right-hander delivers, Camole takes a fast ball, laid in at the waist.
Looks like one.
One off, bases up to the bottom of the fifth.
Fitzberg six, Brooklyn three.
LeBarn with an overhand fast ball, gets it in there low.
Camole's top one ball, the front strike.
Repeating at the end of three, St. Louis three, Milwaukee nothing.
Central out of Chicago to side up at two, one and one.
The bench to Camole, the clear ball, right under his chin, he just has to set back, takes ball two.
One on Eno.
Slide back to action on the two one count, fires fast ball and then slips up the middle,
he does slips up, Coat has the ball bounce away from him, he can't make a play as Camole gets on it first base on,
Coat's fielding error.
That's the second Fitzberg error, so many were charged with a throwing error earlier in the ball game.
Coat's charged with a fielding error, the batter is with Snyder, one on one on here in the fifth inning.
Snyder has doubled his run, so he's one to one.
Mountains wideły at two, he's leading the run, back and society green won't let him.
St. Louis compassion.
After two, the straights off the fish goes to get the tornadoes.
That's strike two.
The latest hear is from Milwaukee.
At the end of four and one-and-a-half innings, it's still St. Louis three and Milwaukee nothing.
Time to replace the slider on the fastball and follow the ways of the Duke.
Time remains strike two.
Left and right hander up throwing down at the Pittsburgh bulls there.
In case Ryan has any more trouble here in this inning.
Everybody's talking, everybody's talking, everybody's talking, everybody's talking.

And as we go to the top of the sixth inning with Verdon coming on,
we see that Pittsburgh has six runs, seven hits, and two errors, and Brooklyn's three runs, three hits, and no errors.
Thank you. Hi, everybody.
Bill Verdon has walked in the singles batting 261.
LeBine sends him a stinker, a little low ball one.
Verdon foils and climbs the way the Pirates should do up here in the sixth.
LeBine comes back 1-0, and the pitcher's tapped slowly halfway to the mound.
LeBine down the field, it gets his man. One up, one away.
Hank foils has hit into a double play and tripled into the alleyway in right center in the fifth inning.
Hank batting 270.
Lucky strike, blowing smoke rings to U-Found at the field in Brooklyn, which is the very best wherever you may be.
LeBine fastball in for the strike on one.
Lovely day in New York, and the suspects have fine weather for tomorrow's double header, Bob Friend and Charlie Douglas,
probably Magley and Craig for Brooklyn.
Pitch is outside, one ball, one strike.
Pirates six, Dodgers three in the sixth inning.
New route at Milwaukee at the end of four and a half, Cardinal three, braves nothing.
The one-one pitch, curve ball, cut on a miss, one and two.
Fine looks in to get a sign, now Clem Lurie, and one and two pitch to Hank foils, just outside, two and two.
We have over 6,000 not-hold youngsters here today as guests of the management.
Happy to see all the kids out at the ballpark. Voice perpetual motion too in the upper left field stands.
LeBine delivers two and two, sidearm curve, fouled away.
Count remains two and two.
The Cardinals did not score in the sixth inning, so now at the end of five and a half,
and into play, Cardinal three, Milwaukee nothing.
Larry Jackson and Lou Bredette.
Cardinal snapped a nine-game losing streak last night, and in winning, broke a Milwaukee ten-game winning streak.
The two-two pitch to Hank foils, sharp curve, but he checked his ring and the pitch is low, ball three.
Full count.
The Cardinals are in the sixth inning.
Pitch is in there, Carl strike three.
The Cardinals are in the sixth inning.
Hank foils, card looking, two down now in the sixth inning, and Ronnie Klein coming up.
Klein has struck out twice today.
He has four hits this year.
Two out, bases empty in the sixth inning. Pirates six, Brooklyn three.
When the Dodgers bat in the bottom of the sixth inning, they'll have Vallow, Neal, and Campanella.
Pass ball fouled away on one.
Six, three, Pittsburgh, two out on the sixth.
The Binders wind up, and the strike one pitch, pass ball fouled to play on two.
And Campanella right in the chest protector, right in the middle of the chest, and shook him up.
Going to Ronnie Klein.
Strike two pitch to Ronnie.
Sharp curve, it stays high, ball one, one and two.
Strike two pitch to Ronnie. Sharp curve, it stays high, ball one, one and two.
Klein trying to squeeze a wrinkle into that ball. Klein just waiting.
Now, Klein ready, and one and two pitch, tight on curve, high and away, two and two.
Klein working very slowly and deliberately on Ronnie Klein, trying to nail him now to close out the inning.
Two balls, two strikes.
Klein ready, and the two twoers thinker outside, ball three.
The Binder delivers three and two.
Pitch cut on and fouled away in the upper deck off first base, so to count, remain three balls, two strikes.
Sandy Koufax started when four and two thirds and had to come out, all six runs, charging in Sandy.
Ronnie Klein has had some rough luck this year, he has three wins and 15 defeats.
He's still in there for Pittsburgh.
Three two pitch to Mr. Klein and it's rat fouled into the seats off first base.
Three and two to Klein on Debra Clemente, fire at six, Dodger three, in the sixth inning with two outs.
Klein waiting.
Now LeBine is ready and the three two pitch cut on and hit fouled on the right field line, so it's quite a duel going on, Ronnie Klein and Clem LeBine.
Hope you'll be able to make your plans and be with us tomorrow for the double header, plenty of seats for it.
Weatherman says he's going to be fine.
Both are playing a game of scoreboard out here and watch the Cardinal Milwaukee double header.
Three two pitch is taken at the knees called strike three, so Ronnie Klein for the third time today strikes out.
LeBine strikes out two men now.
For the Pirates in the sixth they go out in order at the end of five and a half innings of play, Pittsburgh six and Brooklyn three.
Now let's get over to Al.
Well baseball experts, here comes another Lucky Strike baseball quiz.
The first moment to relax in life, a better tasting Lucky Strike.
Yes, there's fine tobacco alone, tastes right.
And Lucky Strike means fine tobacco.
All fine tobacco, naturally like good tasting tobacco that's toasted, tastes even better.
So light up a light smoke, light up a Lucky.
You'll say it's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.
Now here's our Lucky Strike baseball quiz.
Who holds the modern major league record for the most innings pitch in a season?
Well the answer is in 1908, Big Ed Walt of the Chicago White Sox pitched 464 innings for the modern major league record.
Well that fact can be found on page 150 of the Schaefer Lucky Strike baseball guide and record book.
Now just the limited supply of these fine books are left, fans, so get yours right away.
Send 50 cents, your name and address, to baseballguide.com, box 35, Brooklyn one, New York.
And now Vinnie sends us along into the last half of inning number six.
Elmer Vallow to lead it off.
Elmer has walked and flied to right.
And the Dodger bullpen now hard to begin to stir and Don Drysdale loosening up.
Vallow, Neal and Campanella.
Elmer hitting 314.
The three pirates bottom of the sixth inning.
Vallow settles in the hitters box and Klein ready to pitch.
Ronny delivers for a strike on one.
Outfield split on Elmer, big gap in left center.
Klein ready and the strike one-fifth cut on and hit down to Bill Mazurowski who just waits for it to come to him and then throws the first.
One up, one away.
Charlie Neal hit back to the box and walks.
Charlie hitting 268.
The Dodgers led three-nothing, the pirates.
Two in the fourth inning and then came up with four runs in the fifth. So they have the lead six-three.
Ronny Klein delivers and Charlie Neal fouled it at the plate on one.
Klein ready, strike one pitch to Neal. Just outside, one ball, one strike.
One-one to Charlie Neal, fastball admitted, ball two, two and one.
Magley and Craig, Friend and Douglas in the doubleheader tomorrow.
Klein comes back to Neal two-one, the fastball is tapped down to short.
Groats charges, short hops it, flips over to first and we have two outs.
Roy Campanella is two for two in a home run with Elmer Vallow aboard in the second inning and got a bad bounce single off Dick Groats' glove in the fourth.
Can't beat two for two batting 243.
Outfield on Campanella, deep straight away.
Klein delivers and the curveball is outside, ball one.
The Pirates and the Dodgers have played some good ball games this year, low scoring affairs.
Two series at Pittsburgh have really been something.
One-oh pitch is on the corner for strike one-on-one.
Earlier this year, if you remember, in a four-game series, the scores were four-three, three-two, two-one and one-nothing.
Tough one, one-on-one is just outside, ball two, two-one-one.
It's also reflected when you look at the series, this is the 19th meeting, the Dodgers have won ten and the Pirates eight.
The two-one pitch to Campanella, fastball at the knees for a strike, two-and-two.
In game play here at Everett Field, the Dodgers have taken four of six.
I'll bet you the Pirates are about as tough a last place club at home as they have been around in a long time.
Two-suit pitch to Campanella, cut on and looped to center field.
Burton, it was deep, it was charging, but it dropped into the base hit.
So it's two-out, Campanella single-percented for his third hit, he's three-foot-three.
So it's really been, I guess, offensively, the Pirates against Campanella for the Dodgers have only four hits and Roy has three of them.
Don Zimmer, the batter, is bounced out and struck out, hitting two-twenty-four.
Zimmer might very well call the future of LeBine in this one, that's what he does up there at the plate.
First pitch, a little high, ball one.
With Drysdale throwing down on the bullpen, and the pitcher's spot due to follow Zimmer.
He gets on, Austin might go to his bench.
LeBine takes a look at Campanella, one-oh-fifth, the fastball, in for the strike, one-on-one.
The Woky Braves have come up with two runs in the sixth inning.
That's a tough one out there, Cardinal Three and Braves, too.
The end of the sixth, Red Caned, he's got a home run with a man aboard to get the two over in a hurry.
So one-one to Zimmer, fastball, a line drive on a bounce into center field for the base hit.
Cabanella stops at second.
Roy is not running well at all, I don't know whether he just decided he wouldn't take a turn or if that toe of his is bothering him,
but he was kind of running very gingerly down toward second.
All right, Zimmer singles, Cabanella goes to second, and Rube Walker will hit for Clem LeBine.
That is a first and second, two out on the sixth inning, six plays at first.
And a Roy face in the pirate bullpen as Rube Walker is announced for the crowd.
Rube batting two hundred.
His two home runs and 16 runs ratted in.
Clem LeBine works an inning in the third.
He's up ahead with no run.
He's got two.
Rube Walker hitting for LeBine here in the sixth.
Oh, we'll see Don Drysdale in the seventh inning.
Ronnie Klein in a jam now, just staring in to get his time.
Rube Walker waiting.
Rube Walker is a base run as a pitcher to play, then Walker takes low, ball one.
On back, Jim Gilliam.
Klein delivers one-oh to Walker.
Check the swing and that pitch is low, ball two.
Don't know, Ronnie's starting to dig a hole now.
He's got a second and trying to stay off his left foot, I believe.
I think it's bothering him.
And Don Zimmer, a big lead at first, since the right side of the infield is deep.
The two and all pitch to Walker, cut on and fouled away.
Two and one.
The end of this inning, we'll have a complete rundown of all the scorers,
the pitchers involved, any home runs that might have been hit in both leagues.
Two and one, the count to Finchetta Rube Walker.
Six free pirates throughout on the sixth inning.
Klein up on top now already, and the two-one pitch, Walker swings and fouls it away.
Two and two.
1835 ladies, 6,000 not-all youngsters, they're all told, 14,665.
The right side deuces up here in the sixth inning, 6,315.
Staring down the barrel, now he's ready. The two-two pitch, Walker takes in there, call, strike three.
The towel comes flying out of the Dodger dugout as Walker stays up at home plate to argue with played on fire Phil Baker.
Now for all the other scorers, here's Al.
He's got three and Milwaukee has two. Jackson for thing good and for Milwaukee it is for death.
The Yankees over Baltimore with chance going for the Yankees more starting for Baltimore.
And the first with the bases loaded. It is ninth home run of the year for the White Sox.
The Yankees nine home run.
The walk was called out on strikes. A lot of the Dodgers getting on plate on fire Bill Baker.
Keep an eye out on that Cardinal Milwaukee ballgame for you as soon as we have anything further to report.
At the moment, the number six is three-two Cardinals.
Guy's a little bent at the waist to get his time and have a lanky right end already.
Sidearm curve is cut on a high foul back of the plate. Campanella starts to come back, but he has no play.
One ball, two strikes to Bob Clemente.
Clemente frees and grows the way the Pirates did here in the seventh.
Guy's there already. The one and two pitchers from that a sidearm fastball at the fair just inside the right field line and down into the Dodger bullpen.
By the time that Somali surrounded down there in the corner, Clemente has himself a stand up double.
So Clemente doubles into the right field corner to open up things in the seventh inning.
That ball took a couple of tricky hops after it went into the bullpen and hit the protective railing in front of the dugout down there.
All the way down under the old wooden bench.
Somali at second base.
Nobody out on the batter, Gene Freeze struck out twice and popped up hitting 281.
Pirates six, Dodgers three, seventh inning.
Freeze waiting, Guy's there already and delivers Gene around the bunch and withdraws the bat and the pitchers in for a strike on one.
Dodgers ready to come to the plate. Zimmer playing catty corner at third.
On one.
Drysdale has a sign out turns on the rubber check second and the strike one pitch freeze does but it drives down along with Zimmer.
They bump together and there won't be a play made.
Zimmer charging the bunch.
Guy's they all coming down off the mound had his back to third base and Zimmer bumped into him and both men just overran the ball.
No one cuts it for Freeze has himself a bunch single. Somali advancing to third.
Runs at first and third with nobody out.
The batter Dick Grode hitting 332.
Infield drawn up now as Grode settles in. Dick is one for two hit into a double play doubled and won.
Guy's there already, checks his runners.
Now delivers to Grode side arm fastball not halfway to the mound.
Cavanaugh plays to first base Somali holds at third.
Down to second goes Gene Freeze.
He taps out and Freeze advances to second run as a second and third one out and the batter Bob Skinner.
Skinner today pops out at a two run home run in the fourth inning and won.
Betting 314.
The first base open so we'll see how they play it now.
Frank Thomas on deck.
And they'll put him on.
So Bob Skinner will get an intentional walk and they'll concentrate on Frank Thomas.
Guy's there, serves up his second wide one.
Good time to light up a cigarette huh?
Do you like one?
Try a light smoke, try a lucky strike.
Bob Skinner gets his intentional walk and traps to first.
Gene Freeze at second, Bob Somali at third.
One out on the seventh inning, Pirates 6, Rogers 3 and the batter Frank Thomas.
Frank is bounced out and singled and doubled.
Thomas hitting 301.
The infield and double play death now.
On deck, Bill Majurovski.
Don Besson begins to throw in the Brooklyn Bullpen.
Dysdale checks his men, goes to a full windup and delivers a curve and on the inside corner for a strike on one.
Six three Pirates are trying to get some more here in the seventh.
Dysdale trying to keep him away.
Dysdale into his windup and the strike one fifth.
The Cardinals do not score in the seventh.
The Braves are at bat in the bottom of the seventh.
The Cardinals lead three to two.

Two down and here's Bill Majurovski.
Majurovski struck out, hit into a fourth play and popped up batting 289.
Dysdale winds and delivers.
Curve ball cut on a miss for a strike on one.
Gene Freeze, real little frisky down there at second on a pitch of a play he ran halfway to third and kind of looked at Clemente and backed off again.
On one.
Dysdale delivers a strike one pitch and the curve is filed away outside of first.
On two.
With two strikes on Majurovski, Walter Alton is calling his outfield in particular, Duke Snyder to come up and play a little more shallow.
Majurovski beat Brooklyn a ball game at Ford Field, looping one into center.
Strike two fifths.
Curve in the dirt, blocked nicely by Campanella.
One ball, two strikes.
Pirates six, Dodgers three.
Two out on the seventh inning.
The Bucks have the bases loaded.
Bob Skinner at first.
Gene Freeze at second.
Bob Clemente at third.
One and two to Majurovski.
Gilliam, Simoli and Snyder when the Dodgers hit in the bottom of the seventh.
Dysdale takes no.
Now down to his wind up and the one and two pitch.
Curve ball just outside and low, two and two.
Milwaukee did not score in the seventh.
So at the end of seventh, Cardinal three, Milwaukee two.
Dysdale delivers two to curve ball, got him swinging.
Don Drysdale with the bases loaded and one out.
Strikes out by Thomas and Bill Majurovski.
The end of sixth and a half running to play and remains Pirates six and Dodgers three.
And before we get to the bottom of the seventh inning, let's listen to Al.
Well, a lucky seventh.
Time for all the hometown fans to stand up and be counted.
I guess I'll do likewise.
Stretched way out.
That feels good.
Lucky strike means fine tobacco and fine tobacco alone tastes right.
That's great.
You know, that's why they say lucky stays better.
Friend light up a light smoke, light up a light.
You'll say it's the best tasting cigarette you ever smoked.
William Somali and Snyder.
We start things for the Dodgers in the last half of the seventh inning.
Six runs, nine hits and two errors.
Pittsburgh for Brooklyn, three runs, five hits and nowhere.
Back to the action.
All set Ben.
Right Al.
Jim Gilliam has flied to center and twice bounced out batting two forty nine.
Gilliam, Somali and Snyder bottom of the seventh.
The Pirates leading six to three.
Gene Freeze playing way inside the baguette third right on the grass.
Line delivers Gilliam takes outside and high ball one one and all.
Remember that double headed tomorrow now Bob friend and Charlie Douglas.
Now manly and Roger Craig for Brooklyn fastball filed away one and one.
Line making his twenty third start.
He's completed five ballgame.
Ronnie delivers one one Gilliam looks to the slow curve and admits his outside ball to turn one.
To one said the junior fastball in there.
Gilliam mad now walks away from the batter's box his jaws are working.
He goes over to get the rising bag from the on deck batter.
He knows the moly and now some voices out of the Dodger dug out and here comes Bill Baker and I think somebody's going to get the food.
Well Austin comes out and starts to argue the break here but I think somebody's been saying and you can trade all this bitterness not so much on that bit to Gilliam.
But on the two to fit the road walker that was a call.
Right. Three in the sixth inning the Dodgers are still smarting about that one and it finally erupted here in the seventh and we'll see if somebody's been paid.
Often going back into the dugout.
I didn't see anybody get up yet so it might just have been a warning.
No one is moved.
The two to pitch now to Jim Gilliam fastball foul back.
For ball players have memories like elephant.
They can remember a call from weeks ago.
The two to pitch a curveball hit down the growth left because up with it goes over the first in time one up one away.
Got a station break in right now. This is the Brooklyn Dodgers radio network.
Dial 1460 W.O.K.O. your Brooklyn Dodgers station in Albany New York.
Ten minutes past four o'clock W.O.K.O. time.
You know Somali the batter and here comes Baker again and he dropped his mask as he walked over towards the dugout and somebody's going this time. That's no doubt about it.
Big Don Newcomb has been given the boot.
We hit the air Baker world around and walked in over to the dugout and Newcomb is gone.
We didn't see him leave but as I guess it might be the Johnny Padres was chased.
You'll have to check with that record. We know Newcomb left. You could see Don get up and go.
We'll check about Padres. The first to do not Somali foul back on one.
The Dodger bench boiling and Newcomb has been kicked out.
And we're going to check and see if Padres is safe. Strike one for curveball into the strike going to one of the boys on the other side of the boot.
A little bit better angle and saw Padres get up and leave the bench.
Whether he was told to go on that we have to wait and see.
The only two bits to Somali fastball foul the way.
One out bottom of the seven pirate six Dodger three.
The only two bits curveball cut on and missed and down goes Somali.
Ronnie Klein.
And retired too many on the seventh inning leading six to three and facing Duke Snyder now.
That is double watch and fouled out batting to eighty one.
Not awaiting client delivers and the best is cut on and found a way on one.
And we don't have confirmation about Johnny Padres.
He also was kicked out of the ballgame.
The ball both Don Newcomb and Johnny Padres chased from the bench by a play on fire Bill Baker.
Bouncer into the hole on the right side.
Maserati juggles stays with it and makes his play.
The Dodgers go out on the seventh inning one two three and at the end of seven.
So remains Pittsburgh six runs nine hits and two errors.
The Dodgers three runs five hits and no errors.
Before we get to the eighth here's Al.

There's an awful lot of time and many times an awful lot of arguments.
There's quite an argument going here at Everett Field 6 3 in favor of the Pirates right now as we move to the top of the eighth inning.
The last third of the part batting order.
It's still burden stepping up.
Well there's no argument at Washington.
The Washington Panthers lead the Boston Red Sox at the end of the sixth inning 16 to nothing.
Case closed.
Bill Burden playing at a high drive the deep left center field.
That's a way out there and curving towards the stands and gone in the second row seat.
So Bill Burden whacks one out his eighth home run.
Oh that makes it fire at seven Brooklyn three.
We pick up another thousand free lucky to be sent to the veterans farm from the Northport Long Island.
Seven three Pittsburgh in the eighth.
The Cardinals didn't score in the eighth to the Braves right back failing three to two in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Here's a foil one for three a triple.
I felt curbs in the Mrs. Ball one while getting to sixty nine hit into a double play tripled and struck out.
One open fastball grounded down the Neal Sally up with a clean lead makes his way to Hodges in time for the out.
Ronnie Klein coming up Ronnie has had a gritty performance.
He gave us three runs in the first two running the only time in today's ballgame he has retired the Dodgers in order was in the seventh inning.
He's hung in there and he's leading seven play here in the eighth inning.
Line with four hits this year.
I felt fastball is in for the strike on one from the Dodgers bad in the bottom of the eighth they'll have Hodges Valor and Neil.
Like one third on curve and a half swing it's over onto.
I felt the letters are thank you for it and the curve is low ball one one and two.
I had seven runs on 10 hits two of them have been home runs committed to those Dodgers three runs five hits no errors.
That on curve is just low to improve.
I feel the letters fastball filed away outside of first Hodges running it down to ball to strike.
Got a six thousand eight hundred and thirty on and we have eighteen hundred ladies here and six thousand not hold young to my crowd on a pleasant Saturday.
Hope you'll be with us tomorrow for the double header to be a good one to pitch is low ball three Bob friend and Charlie Douglas for Pittsburgh and the Dodgers countering with Kyle Magley and Roger Craig.
I said the letters three and two fastball is in there and for the fourth time today Ronnie Klein is struck out and he has kind of a sheepish grin on his face as he started to walk away from the plate.
They don't pay Ronnie to hit.
Two down on the batter Bob Clemente batting to fifty three. Bob is a single and a double and three at bat. You know also one.
Seven three pirates two out of the eight.
One pitch curve ball cut on a miss going to.
The money waiting on to.
Guys they'll deliver fastball low ball one one and two.
The Philadelphia the Phillies knocked off the Giants three to one.
The Dodgers are turning one run on one hit the home run by Bill Burton. Nobody left out and there were no errors at the end of seven and a half and into play the Pirates seven and the Dodgers three.
Now here's Al what does the pitcher mean when he says I've got the book on the next batter.
Well he's simply stating that he's got the complete starting report on that player.
He knows how to pitch to him and how the team should play him.
If he said he's got the book on real smoking enjoyment he's discovered the better taste of lucky strike.
The back of our loan case right.
And I have M.F.T. lucky strike means fine tobacco all the way through naturally like naturally good tasting tobacco that's posted to taste even better.
Light up a light smoke light up a lot. Enjoy the best tasting cigarette you ever smoke.
Not a lot of any number eight. I'm back to the mouth of the part we're leading in this ball game seven three. I just will be the first batter then Elmer battle for him and Charlie Neal will be up there swinging first.
We're right in action now he's been.
Well Gil Hodges has bounced out struck out and slide to right batting three or five.
I just battle and Neil did anybody get on maybe Campanella.
I just staring at his back to see if there any chips in it.
Now get from the batter's back or about ready.
Fine wines and delivers Ronnie's first pitch is over for the strike on one.
He's got pretty good control.
He's walk just three men look out five like one pitch fastball cut on a high drive to deep right field for many looking up and watching that ball it's going to hit against the starboard and for many goes up and grabs it.
We have a pretty good breeze blowing from the right field corners planning over towards the left field corner and for many had given up on the ball.
He had turned his back to the home plate and we're just going to play the count and then when that ball started to die in the breeze for many at the last second jumped against the boards and grabbed it.
So I just rise to the bright one out in the eighth inning.
Elmer Valo has walked right to right and bounced out batting 311 find the levers and almost swings and foul tips that on one
Milwaukee Braves have come up with a run in the eighth inning to tie it out there.
So Milwaukee with two runs in the sixth inning one of the eighth now tied to Cardinals three and three strike one pitch to Valo taken in there to seven three Pittsburgh bottom of the eighth inning one out on deck.
Charlie Neal
and ready and the thank you for that ball got him playing for Valo goes down big strikeout for Ronnie Klein and the batter Charlie Neal.
I thought about the wind affecting that fly ball and I just hit me eighth inning.
There are always a couple of people who disagree and say how can the wind bother baseball.
It really can.
There's an article in the Saturday Evening Post not long ago about the wind.
Remember that buckle and fell down in a windstorm number of years ago.
Neal swings it a bit and doesn't get it on one.
At the end of seven and a half innings of play the Pirates seven and the Dodgers three.
And here's Al. What does the pitcher mean when he says I've got the book on the next batter.
Well he's simply stating that he's got the complete starting report on that player.
He knows how to pitch to him and have a team should play him.
Well now Ben if he said he's got the book on real smoking enjoyment he's discovered the better taste of Lucky Strike.
Fine tobacco alone. And L.S.M.F.D. Lucky Strike means fine tobacco all the way through.
Naturally light, naturally good tasting tobacco that's toasted to taste even better.
So friend light up a light smoke. Light up a light smoke.
The best tasting cigarette you ever smoke.
Not a lot of a number eight.
I climbed back to the mouth of the part we're leading in the ball game seven three.
I just will be the first batter then Elmer Farrell follow him and Charlie Neal will be up there swinging third.
We're right in action now. Here's Ben.
Gil Hodges has bounced out struck out and fly to right batting three oh five.
Hodges Vallow and Neal. Did anybody get on maybe Campanella.
I just staring at his bat to see if there any chips in it. Now gets in the batter's back. We're about ready.
Fine wines and delivers on his first pitch is over for the strike on one.
Line is that pretty good control. He'd walk us three men.
Look out five like one pitch fastball caught on a high drive to deep right field for many looking up and watching that ball.
It's going to hit against the scoreboard and Clemente goes up and grabs it.
We have a pretty good breeze blowing from the right field corners planning over towards the left field corner and for many had given up on the ball.
He had turned his back to the home plate and was just going to play the count.
And then when that ball started to die in the breeze Clemente at the last second jumped against the boards and grabbed it.
Hodges flies to deep right one out in the eighth inning.
Elmer Valo has walked wide to right and bounced out batting 311 find delivers and Elmer swings and foul tips it on one.
Milwaukee Braves have come up with a run in the eighth inning to tie it out there.
Milwaukee with two runs in the sixth inning one of the eighth now tied the Cardinals three and three.
The strike one pitch to Valo taken in there on to seven play but third bottom of the eighth inning one out on deck Charlie Neal.
Everybody and the strike two pitch fastball got him playing for Valo goes down big strikeout for Ronnie Klein and the batter Charlie Neal.
No thought about the wind affecting that fly ball at Hodges hit in the eighth inning.
There are always a couple of people who disagree and say how can the wind bother baseball.
It really can.
There was an article in the Saturday Evening Post not long ago about the wind.
If you remember that bridge out in Tacoma Washington member that buckled and fell down in a wind storm number of years ago.
Neal swings it up and doesn't get it on one.
So we figured it must have been quite a wind to blow a bridge down.
In the article explained the wind was only 40 miles per hour and it blew that monster down.
Strike one pitch up high one and one. It doesn't take much of a breeze to affect a little baseball.
The one one pitch to Charlie Neal curveball cut on and popped up going out as thick growth healing his eyes and the sun but calling all the way and makes the play.
So for the second time today the Dodgers have gone out in order in the last two innings.
