Tony Kubek standing alongside of Gus Triandos watching Milt Papas loosen up. Papas has 1-12 in lost states this year against the Yankees. He has no wins and 2 defeats. His lifetime record against New York, 3 wins, 4 defeats. And his lifetime mark in the big leagues, 37 wins and 27 defeats.
Papas is 6'3", 200 pounds on May 11, 1939. And he's just 21 years old. This is his fourth year in organized ball. And he has come a long, long way.
Tony Kubek steps into the batter's box. Frank Frasetti is coaching down his third. And Ralph Mauck is down his first.
This ball game ready to get underway.
There's going to be lots of excitement here tonight. Plate on fire, Charlie Berry, dusting off home plate. On deck is Cletus Boyer. Kubek batting 287, 22 doubles, 3 triples, 10 homers and 55 runs batted in.
Here's the windup and the first pitch of the ball game is in there for a false strike. He's fired a fastball right through the middle.
A beautiful night for a ball game here in Baltimore, Maryland. The pitch is fouled back in the upper deck strike 2. Nothing in 2 on Kubek.
For some of you who may not have heard, the Orioles purchased Dave Philly from the Giants today. And he is here in time for the ball game. He has been an outstanding pinch hitter in his last few years in the big leagues.
Here's a two-strike pitch. Ground foul outside of first.
Whitey Ford continues to loosen up down in the Yankee full time. Whitey, not completely satisfied with the time he had a lot of time to warm up, is pitching to Elston Howard down in the bullpen down the right field line.
Baltimore bullpen situated down the left field line.
Pappas again into the windup. Picks delivers a fastball foul back in the upper deck.
A fast straight strike that Pappas has drawn without throwing a ball. Kubek has fouled off two of them.
Again the windup by the right hander. Pappas hits the center field on a high curve ball. So Pappas refused to waste one. And Kubek swinging away, lines his single to center.
There's the first hit of the ball game.
And it brings up Fletus Boyer, the Yankee third baseman.
Boyer batting 249. 17 doubles, one triple, 12 homers and 39 runs batted in.
We have two of the finest third baseman in baseball playing against each other tonight. Brooks Robinson for Baltimore and Fletus Boyer for the Yankees.
Jobo holding first against Kubek. The pitch to Boyer is one of that and missed strike one. Jobo and Robinson charging in from first and third. On deck is Roger Maris.
Boyer looks down at Frank Crissetti.
Kubek leads York first. The pitch is one of that and missed again. Strike two. And Boyer is shaking his head with his hands on his hip.
Bill Pappas is fast out there tonight. He fired the first two strikes by Kubek but couldn't get the third one by him. He threw the first two right by Fletus Boyer. He has yet to throw a ball to do batter.
Nothing in two on Boyer. The stretch by Pappas. A pitch just outside ball one. Big gut Triandos doing the casting tonight for Baltimore.
We'll hear lots of yelling tonight. Pappas sets again. His pitch is strike three swinging.
No, wait a minute. Triandos dropped that ball. He fouls, hits it. And Larry Knapp running in from first base. Saw the ball hit the ground. Triandos picked it up so quickly we didn't even see it hit the ground from up here.
Wait a minute now. Wait a minute. Hold the ball. Larry Knapp is coming in. Talking to Charlie Berry.
He's out. He is struck out. Triandos did not drop the ball. And let's see if Casey Stanger will come out. Paul Richards has jumped out of the Oriole dugout.
Boyer fouls, hits the ball. And it hit poor Triandos glove. And he lunged for it. We couldn't see whether it hit the ground or not.
First Larry Knapp signals safe. And then after Walter Joplin talked to him, Knapp came in to Charlie Berry and said that the ball did not hit the ground. So it hit the strikeout swinging.
And there's an unusual play right here on the top of the first inning. It's a strikeout for Pappas. One out here is Roger Maris.
Maris batting 293. Has 16 doubles. Five triples. 35 homers. And 96 runs batted in. Roger leads the American League and homers in RBI.
No score. Top of the first inning. Hubeck at first. Here's the stretch by Pappas.
Pipps to Maris. The ground ball at second base. Reading to Hanson for one. Back to first. Double play.
A fine double play by the young Baltimore infield as Reading backhanded the ball to Hanson and his rifle throw to Droko doubled Maris.
So in the top of the first inning for the Yankees, no runs on one hit. No ball of Maris. Nobody left. And the score at the end of one half inning of play, the Yankees nothing and the Orioles coming to back.
Ever hear of a gasoline that doubles as a mechanic? In a way, Atlantic Imperial gasoline does just that. Here's how. When you drive, exhaust fumes and other air contaminants escape your air cleaner and collect in the carburetor in the form of deposits.
Now even a small amount of deposits can cause an improper mixture of air and gasoline. When this happens stalling, rough idling, and actual gasoline waste results. Now one way to handle a dirty carburetor is to get under the hood and clean it manually.
But why go to all that trouble and expense when Atlantic Imperial does the job for you without even raising the hood? Atlantic Imperial actually cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean. With a clean carburetor you get proper mixture of gasoline and air.
You'll enjoy smooth engine performance, greater gasoline economy. Give it a try. Use Atlantic Imperial gasoline to keep your car on the go.
Why he has defeated Baltimore 5-0, 2-0, 5-2 and 1-0 so he's shut them out 3-9.
Jackie Brand leading off steps into the batter's box. Batting 2-55. Jackie has 21 doubles, 6 triples, 13 homers, and 55 runs batted in.
Here's Whitey's first pitch to Grant. It's a big hit to left hand. A solid line drive on a first pitch. Barres up with it and Grant makes a big round of pace and goes back.
On a very first pitch, the Orioles get their first base hit. Here's Jim Woodling who is hitting it safely in 17 straight games.
26 for 63, batting a 413 average. His average on the year is 289. Here's the stretch to pitch to Woodling. Low outside ball one. Gene has 18 doubles, 3 triples, 10 homers, 53 runs batted in.
The excitement here tonight is tremendous. Battle of a first place going on right now. Grant with a short lead off first. A stretch by Whitey. The pitch is low, ball two, 2-0.
Will Scharren holding first against Jackie Brand. Here's the stretch. The pitch is a curve hit high in the air to right field. Maris is going back. He's got a roll though. Under it, Grant is tagging. Maris makes a catch. Grant's going to try for a second to throw.
It's not in time and Grant is in there. Jackie Brand with heads up base running. Tagged up and went to second base on Woodling's long fly to deep right field.
And that brings up Brooks Robinson, the third baseman. No score here in the bottom of the first. Robinson batting 3-0-1. 22 doubles, 8 triples, 11 homers, and 70 runs batted in.
Here's the stretch by Whitey. Mitch Robinson is swinging and missed strike one. On deck, Walter Droppole.
Grant at first went halfway on the high fly ball. Then he saw Maris backing up and he huddled back to first. Tagged up and slid in easily ahead of Maris' long throw in from right field. One strike on Robinson. The stretch by four. There goes Richardson over to second, but Whitey steps off the rubber.
A lot of the fans yelling Bork. They didn't see Whitey step back off the pitching rubber. Again, Whitey's set. Pitch inside, ball one, one-on-one. Almost hit Robinson.
Lum Harris is coaching down at third. Jimmy Adair is down at first base for Baltimore. Perfect night for a ball game. One-on-one on Robinson. The stretch by four.
He's going to right field and it's been half a rest for Bateson. Reading is scoring and Robinson's going to try for three. No, he holds at second base with a long double.
Puts Robinson, lined a double deep in the right field corner. It picked off the wall. Maris played it perfectly and Robinson, who had ideas of going to third, rounded second and held up.
For Robinson, his twenty-third double of the year. His seventy-first run batted in and Baltimore leads one-nothing. Here's Walter Droppole batting 268. Eight doubles, three homers, twenty runs batted in. One out.
Where in the bottom of the first? Whitey's set. Fastball is low, ball one.
Robinson is just about the most improved hitter that we've seen in baseball this year.
Outfield deep and around towards left on Droppole. The pitch, slow curve, is swung and it missed strike one, one-on-one.
Droppole holding that bat way down on the end. Here's the stretch by four.
Curve line. Boy has got it. Throw to second, double play. Droppole hit a shot right at Cletus Boyer and before Robinson could get back to second, Boyer rifle to Richardson for the double play. So for Baltimore in the bottom of the first, one run on two-base fifth.
No Yankees errors and nobody left in the score at the end of one full inning. Baltimore one and the Yankees nothing. Both teams have come up with clutch double plays in the first inning.
So Baltimore scored one run on an exciting first inning as Grant Singles went to second on a long fly by Woodland hit the deep right field after he tagged up and then scored on a double by Brooks Robinson.
Droppole then hit it on a double play to end the inning.
Man, the first inning that exciting. Imagine what the rest of this game and series is going to be like.
And after this crucial series, the Yankees fly right back to New York to face the Boston Red Sox in a 1.30 p.m. Labor Day doubleheader at Yankee Stadium. That's Monday afternoon.
And Fred Williams, who very well may be well in his final month of baseball during his spectacular career, is back in the lineup along with the RBI leader, Vic Worth and slugger, Frank Malzahar.
On the scoreboard in the American League, Washington is Boston playing a finite doubleheader. The senators are leading four to two at the end of eight innings. Lee against Nichols, Jim Lemon and Dan Dobeck have home it for Washington.
And Fred Williams in the eighth, a 516th of his career. You know he's going to be at Yankee Stadium on Labor Day. Mickey Mantle will be leading off for the Yankees here in the top of the second with Baltimore leading one to nothing.
The Yankees are leading with a 2 to 78, 15 doubles, six triples, 31 homers and 78 runs batted in. He takes a fastball over strike one call. On deck is Bill Skaran.
He's been keeping up this pace all night. It'll be remarkable. He's firing that ball. That's a curve ball to the second base. Reading to Drop ball, he's out. They got him. A fine play by Bob Reading. I never thought they'd get Mantle.
Mickey dragged what looked like a perfect one past the pitches box but Reading came charging in and threw off balance at Drop ball. Just in time to nip Mantle one away. Here's Bill Skaran.
The Moose batting 3-0-9, 29 doubles, three triples, 25 homers and 86 runs batted in. The pitch to the Moose is swung and a missed strike one. On deck Yogi Berra.
Outfield deep straight away on the Moose. Fastball is just outside ball one one-on-one.
Jim Woodling in left field is giving Skaran a lot of the left field line. He's shooting him over towards left center.
Right field, Jackie Brant, is straight away but deep and Busby straight away in center field and deep. Here's the one-one pitch to Skaran outside ball two. Two and one.
Pappas takes a deep breath out on the mound. The windup. His pitch is popped in the air foul. Hanson and Robinson chasing it. It's near the wall and goes into the seat.
Both Hanson and Robinson were there as that ball stayed in the playing field. Both of them could have caught it but it went back about two rows in the box seat.
There's lots of room to roam for foul balls from the back of home plate all the way down the left field line and down the right field line.
It's 3-0-9 in left field and right field. Four-ten and straight away center. Two and two on Skaran.
The pitch is right three swinging.
Pappas chalked up his second strike out of the ball game and here's Yogi Vera.
Yogi batting and even three hundred. Eleven doubles, one triple, fourteen homers and fifty-one runs batted in.
Real rabbit fans down here in Baltimore.
Bears have drawn over a million fans so far this year.
Two out, nobody on. One-nothing Baltimore leads. The pitch to Yogi is high outside ball one.
On deck, Johnny Blanchard.
One-nothing pitch. He's swung and a missed strike one, one-on-one. Yogi went after a high breaking ball, didn't get it.
Here's the one-one delivery. Change up high, ball two, two and one.
The two-one pitch is outside ball three, three and one.
Pappas behind Vera, three and one. Yogi swinging that thick pass back and forth, keeps it low to the ground.
The windup. The pitch is right called. Yogi jumps around and argues with Charlie Perry and he is arguing with him.
Yogi thought he had a base on balls that time.
Three and two on Yogi.
Yogi turns around and look in the Yankee dugout. Old habit of Yogi.
And the fans are starting to ride, Yogi. Both out, three-two, two out, nobody on. One-nothing Baltimore leads.
Here's the payoff pitch to Yogi. Strike three, back him out.
Pappas gets his third strikeout as he sets the Yankees down one-two-three, nothing across in the top of the second. And the score at the end of an inning and a half, Baltimore one and the Yankees nothing.
Oh, are you really satisfied with the way your car has been acting lately? Maybe it's nothing you can actually put your finger on. More frequent stalling perhaps or rough idling, less miles per gallon. Now, your trouble could be a dirty carburetor, something that can happen to any car, even a relatively new one.
You see exhaust fumes and other air contaminants get by your air cleaner and build up deposits on the carburetor wall near the throttle plate. Even a small amount of these deposits can cause the throttle plate to feed an improper mixture of air and gasoline to your engine.
The result is rough performance and actual gasoline waste. But now you can eliminate the problems caused by a dirty carburetor with new Atlantic Imperial gasoline. Atlantic Imperial actually cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean.
So to end stalling, rough idling and gasoline waste due to a dirty carburetor, use Atlantic Imperial. The gasoline that adds pleasure to your driving and keeps your car on the go.

Pappas again sets the Yankees down one two three nothing across on the top of the third. The score at the end of two and a half. Baltimore one and the Yankees nothing.
Well Mr. Thompson we found the trouble. Your carburetor is dirty. Look you mean that little bit was enough to do it. That's right. Because of the close clearance of the carburetor just a small amount of the deposit can cause a throttle plate to feed along with air and gasoline. So your engine stalls a lot. Idle's rough and waits gasoline.
What causes that deposit. You know I take good care of my car. It's not your fault. You see exhaust fumes and other stuff in the air. Get by your air cleaner and build up in your carburetor. Well is there any way I can prevent these deposits. There is no. Just start using Atlantic and gas. Atlantic and why. Well it's because the Atlantic and they make today will actually clean out your carburetor and clean while you drive. You mean I won't have to spend money to have my carburetor clean again. No sir.
Atlantic and gas is all you need to keep your carburetor clean. Okay. You told me my next thing for the planet. In the bottom of the third inning it'll be the top of the Baltimore batting order to take what he thought for the second time.
Jackie for a team would be and broke Robinson. I think a lot of people want to second on Woodland's long flight. I feel that the tagging up and caught on a double by Brooks Robinson. All of these one.
I had what he thought it takes the time from Blanca the wind up.
One.
Is why you know the wind up.
And it could possibly have been an inside the park. Oh my God.
Beautiful play by Yogi Bear.
Take an extra base it away from Jackie Brandt.
17 Woodland.
One strike.
One strike one out nobody on.
That's right.
Baltimore has been hitting Whitey Hurt up to this point.
Now one ball, two strikes head.
Curve foul back on the screen.
Now holes at one ball and two strikes.
On deck, Brooks Robinson.
Woodland with that slowest stand to this.
He's almost together, right foot almost on home plate.
Swings and misses a curve, strike three.
Not Woodland.
By the second strikeout.
That's his third strikeout of the ball.
He struck out, was the end-happened.
And here's Brooks Robinson, a double right field
driving in the only run of the game.
His 71st RBI of the year.
On deck, Walsh, two out, nobody on.
Tetsu Robinson has a curve over the outside corner, strike one, crawl.
One strike fifth is inside, ball one, one on one.
There's Whitey, into the windup.
Curve is hitting the ground, a short pullback,
up with it, the throw to Skarn in time to get Robinson.
So Whitey sets the birds down, one, two, three for the first time
in the ball game, nothing across.
The score at the end of three full innings.
Baltimore one run, three hits, no errors.
And the Yankees no runs, one hit and no errors.
There's only one game to report so far on the scoreboard.
Washington beat Boston in the first game, five to one.
The Yankees play Baltimore here again tomorrow afternoon
and Sunday afternoon.
So make sure you're tuned in for those ball games.
And these Orioles are going to be in the pen and erase right down to the wire.
Certainly a colorful, exciting ball call.
You'll have another chance to see these exciting Orioles
in a weekend at Yankee Stadium.
They meet Friday night, September 16th, in the final 80s day game on Saturday
and the last double hundredth of the season on Sunday, September 18th.
You've got to get those tickets now while they are available.
For the Yankees, they'll have the top of their batting order to face Milt Papas.
Kubek, who led off the ball game with a single of ten,
was doubled on a ground ball by Maris.
So Papas actually faced just nine men in three innings.
He was given a one hit, no warts, and struck out five.
On deck, Cletus Boyer.
Baltimore won Yankees nothing.
Top of the fourth.
The pitch to Kubek is over, strike one called.
Tony dropped the bat and Herb Robinson came charging in.
Robinson and Boyer were on deck at two of the most exciting young third-graders
that we've seen in a long, long time.
The 71st RBI of the year.
On deck, Walsh, out.
Two out, nobody on.
Two Robinson is a curve over the outside corner, strike one called.
One strike pitch is inside, ball one, one on one.
There's Whitey into the windup.
Herb has hit on the ground and short.
Kubek's up with it.
The throw to Sauron in time to get Robinson.
Whitey sets the bird down one, two, three for the first time in the ball game.
Nothing across.
The score at the end of three full innings.
Baltimore one run, three hits, no errors.
And the Yankees no runs.
One hit and no errors.
There's only one game to report so far on the scoreboard.
Washington beat Boston in the first game five to one.
Yankees play Baltimore here again tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon.
So make sure you tune in for those ball games.
And these Orioles are going to be in the penitentiary right down to the wire.
Certainly a colorful, exciting ball play.
You'll have another chance to see these exciting Orioles in a weekend at Yankee Stadium.
They meet Friday night, September 16th, in the final 80s day game on Saturday.
And the last doubleheader decision on Sunday, September the 18th.
They'll have those tickets now while they are available.
For the Yankees, they'll have the top of their batting order to say, Will Pappas.
Krubeck, who led off the ball game with a single at center, was doubled on a ground ball by Maris.
So Pappas actually faced just nine men in three innings.
He has given up one hit, no warts and a fork out five.
On deck, Cletus Boyer.
Baltimore won Yankees nothing.
Top of the fourth.
The pitch to Krubeck is over.
Strike one call.
Tony Bluff to Bucs and Brooks Robinson came charging in.
Robinson and Boyer, who was on deck, are two of the most exciting young third racers we've seen in a long, long time.
Pass was popped to left field.
It could be trouble.
Woodland digging, but a turning foul.
Woodland could not catch up to that ball.
That would have been a double, possibly a triple.
Woodland shading Krubeck over and left center.
Had a long run.
The ball dropped foul about six or seven inches.
Ronnie Hanson, the shortstop, couldn't get out there in time and Woodland couldn't get over there.
Nothing in 21 Krubeck.
It was all the way down to second base.
Tony now walking slowly back across the diamond.
Get to Zap from the Yankee Bat Boy.
Tony had a fine year for extra base.
He has 22 doubles, three triples and 10 homers.
A windup, and the curveball is popped to left field this time.
Dean Woodland hardly has to move in his tracks.
Under it and makes the catch.
That's one away.
Bring up Peter Boyer, who struck out swinging in the first inning.
That kind of an unusual play on that one.
As Boyer swung and missed, the endo had the ball pop out of his glove and he lunged down to catch it.
Larry Knapp first called Boyer safe.
We thought that he had dropped the ball on the ground then after talking with Walt Joplin played on by Charlie Berry.
They reversed the decision and called Boyer out on a strikeout, saying that the ball had never touched the ground.
Wild, nobody on.
Pitch to Boyer.
Hit high in the air to left field.
Woodland is moving back.
He's under it though and makes the catch.
That's two away.
That's Roger Maris, who bounced in with a double play in the first inning.
Pitch to Maris is a little bit low, ball one.
Pappas came in with a breaking pitch that time that dipped below the knees.
One-nothing pitches.
Line foul, just foul.
Man, that looked like it hit right on the foul line, but Larry Knapp, who was no more than 10 feet away, right on the play called his foul.
Boyer was close.
Now it's line to foul down the right field corner.
One-on-one.
Two out, nobody on.
One-nothing Baltimore leads, top of the fourth.
Wind up by Pappas.
The changeup is swung and a miss strike too, and he pulled Maris on that one as Roger was way out in front.
Maris' timing has been a little off.
Remember, he missed a little better than two weeks with his bruised wrist.
And even though you take a lot of batting practice, it's never like the game.
The pitch curveball is high, two and two.
Now the two-two delivery, high outside ball three.
Tried to put a little extra on that fastball and got away from him.
On deck, Mickey Mantle.
Three balls, two strikes, two outs.
Now the payoff pitch.
A drive through deep right field, but Grant is going back under it and makes the catch.
The third inning in a row that Pappas has set the Yankees down in order, nothing across.
The score at the end of three and a half innings, Baltimore one and the Yankees nothing.
Eliminate the problems caused by a dirty carburetor with new Atlantic Imperial gasoline.
Atlantic Imperial actually cleans your carburetor as you drive and keeps it clean.
So to end stalling, rough idling and gasoline waste due to a dirty carburetor, use Atlantic Imperial,
the gasoline that adds pleasure to your driving and keeps your car on the go.
Four Baltimore in the bottom of the fourth inning.
Walter Dropo who lined in a double play in the first inning.
Dropo was hit foul outside of third, strike one.
Baltimore one, Yankees nothing. We're in the bottom of the fourth inning.
On deck, Gus Triandos.
Whitey swings into the windup. Fastball, he checks his swing and it's high ball, one one one.
Whitey ready. One one pitch is lined in center field and it's in there for a base hit.
And that ball pulled Mickey, it took off. Mickey started back and then he saw the ball take off.
He came in, had an idea to catch it, shoot string and then had a back up and the ball almost went by him.
There's a long swing of the center field.
There's a ball that actually took off. Hit number four off Whitey's fourth.
And here's Gus Triandos who walks in the second inning.
Fastball could easily have skipped by Mickey, but Mickey blocked it with his body.
That's by Whitey. Hit Triandos low inside ball one.
Baltimore one, Yankees nothing, bottom of the fourth.
There's a stretch. Third ball, ball two, two and nothing.
Whitey can get Triandos to hit that ball in the dirt. He's got perfect double play in there.
I'm Jobele at first and Triandos at the plate.
Neither who can run very fast.
He's got a first for Jobele with a short lead is back easily.
An excited crowd here tonight, capacity crowd.
A stretch. Low outside ball three, three and nothing. On deck Ron Hanson.
Three balls, no strikes on Triandos. Here's the stretch.
Low ball for Elarcon. The second time Triandos has walked. And that's the second walk given up by Whitey.
Jobele moves to second, Triandos to first. Nobody out and here's Ron Hanson who pops up to the second baseman in the second inning.
Blanket is out on the mound talking with Whitey Ford.
Jim Gentile who leads the Orioles in RBI's with 84 is not playing tonight.
Oh, Richard doesn't play him against left hand pitches. Even though he's got plenty of power. He's got 20 home runs.
Whitey goes to the rousing bag.
Skaren is playing in front of the runner at first.
Boyer is in at third. Kubek close to second and Richardson halfway at second.
Looking for the bunt situation. Here's the stretch.
He takes it for a strike and he was not ready to bunt that time.
Hanson was ready to swing away. Skaren was charging in at first base.
Hanson has 19 homers and 74 runs out of it.
Baltimore threatening here in the bottom of the fourth. They lead 1-0.
Whitey says, third low inside. Almost hit Hanson in the foot. 1-1.
Whitey says again.
Third low inside and gets away from Blanket. No, it hit him. It hit him. It hit him in the foot.
And he takes it safe.
Whitey just missed hitting Hanson with the previous hit on a low par ball.
This one hit Hanson in the foot. Kicked away from Blanket. Blanket jumped after it.
And here's Hanson's jangle. Whitey Ford wanted to see the spot on the ball.
And the fans are getting on Casey.
And Casey's asking Johnny Blanket if the ball hit the batter in the foot.
Now he's talking with Charlie Berry. The bases are loaded with nobody out.
Here in the bottom of the fourth, Baltimore leads 1-0.
A single, a walk and a hit fast.
Casey with his hands on his head talking with Berry at home plate.
Now Casey turns around, walks back to the Yankee dugout.
Kim Busby who struck out in the second inning of the batter.
And the ball hit to him. He'll come to the plate pointing to Blanket.
The rest of the infield back and double plate.
Busby can fly. He's a tough man to double.
Nobody on the bases loaded.
Hanson at first. Riembos at second. Dropo at third. Here's the windup.
They're blowing. Strike ball one. That one almost hit Busby.
And there goes Eli Gerber down the bullpen with Elston Howard.
Eli Gerber is going down and loosening up.
One ball and no strikes on Busby. The windup.
On deck, Ma's leading.
Gerber's beating up in a hurry.
Whitey checks the sign from Blanket. Here's the windup.
Herb Lowe ball through two and one. Nice block by Blanket on a curve in the dirt.
Ward was in trouble in the first inning, the second inning.
Retired the Ordos in order in the third.
But he's in trouble here now as the bases loaded and nobody out at two-one count on Busby.
Blanket and Scarron are out in the mound talking with Whitey.
Gerber continues to heat up.
Two balls, one strike. Here's the windup.
Gerber's line of left field and it's a big hit. Only one run will score.
Jim Busby lined a single of left field.
And the only jug open score, Gus Briano's in second as we showed you, can't run too well. And he held his third on Yogi's throw to the plate.
The bases remain loaded. Nobody out.
Baltimore leads two-nothing in the bottom of the fourth and here's Mark Reading, who's single of left center field in the second inning.
Again, Boy is in it third in the rest of the infield and double play depth.
And for Busby, that was only his eighth run batted into the air, but what a big run.
All right, Whitey into the windup.
Curve inside ball one.
Nobody out and the bases loaded. One run in.
Right hand hitting Mark Reading, the second baseman.
Windup.
Heard Swung and a missed strike, one-one-one.
Reading steps out of the batter's box.
Walks around a little bit.
Now he's back in, ready to go.
One ball, one strike.
Here's the windup.
There's a foul out of play in the upper deck.
One ball, two strikes.
And you can hear the fans in the background.
The windup.
Larry Ness started to call him out and saw that Reading beat the throw and then put his hands down.
Another run crosses the plate and Baltimore leads 3-0.
On the fourth play, from Kubek to Richardson.
So at Hanson, move to third.
Reading is safe at first.
He gets credit for an RBI for Reading his 39th run batted in.
And now with run at the first and third and one out, here's Milt Pappas who struck out in the second inning.
And now the Yankee infield has to look for a possible squeeze play.
Garand holding the bag against Reading.
Boyer in at third.
Boyer at second.
Kubek is the only infielder playing deep.
Here's a stretch by Whitey.
The pitch is a curve in there, strike one call.
He was not squaring around a lot that time, but now he takes a look down at Lum Harris,
the third base coach, 3-0 Baltimore leads here in the bottom of the fourth.
Stretch by Whitey.
The pitch is a curve high, ball one, one-on-one.
Five hits off Whitey for the three runs with one out in the bottom of the fourth.
Yankees have not scored a jet.
All right, now Whitey's set.
The pitch is a ground foul outside of third.
One ball, two strikes.
On deck, Jackie Brent.
All right, again Whitey's set, run his lead off first and third.
Curve high, ball two, two and two.
Eli Gervais still throwing down in the Yankee bullpen.
All right, ready for the two-two pitch.
He bumps at it and he's out.
He fouled the pitch off trying to bump with two strikes on him.
It goes to the strikeout for Whitey Ford, his fourth of the ballgame.
And with a bad pitch that happens one after and fouled off.
And here's Jackie Brent, who's single to left and scored and lined deep to left.
They're making a sensational catch against the wall.
Two out, two on, two in.
Baltimore leads 3-0 in the bottom of the ball.
All right, now Whitey's stretching.
It's for Brent outside ball one. Mark reading it first and Ron Hanson over third.
Whitey into the stretch position.
Slow curve high, ball two, two and up. On deck, Gene Woodland.
Two balls, no strikes on Brent.
Curve foul just below it. Two balls, one strike.
Ready for the two-one pitch. Ground foul outside of there, two and two.
A lot of douches on the scoreboard. Two balls, two strikes, two outs, two men on and two runs in.
Baltimore leads 3-0 here in the bottom of the fourth.
Jam-packed crowd here at Baltimore's Memorial Stadium.
Reading Leesor first. There he goes. The pitch is popped in the air.
In back of the plate, Johnny Blanchard is moving back.
And makes the catch for the out in foul territory.
You are tuned with Quality Modern Radio, 1460 on your dial.
This is WOKO Albany, New York.
Baltimore 3, the Yankees nothing and we pause for station identification.
Now I'd like to mention that the second half of this game is being brought to you by the Chris Refresher Valentine's Beer.
You know, Valentine's is a light beer with true lager flavor.
And that's what makes it the Chris Refresher.
We've got a dandy little ball game going here.
With Baltimore leading 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning, it'll be Mantles, Garron and Barrett to face Milt Pappas.
Pappas has faced just 12 men in four innings.
Though he gave up a hit to Kubek, Kubek was on the front end of a double play.
Maritz bounced into it.
Milt has struck out five and has not walked anybody.
Mickey Mantles, who laid down what appeared to be a perfect bunt, was thrown out on a great play by Mark Reading the second baseman.
Mr. Mantles strikes on the outside corner.
Pappas is still firing that ball.
Here's the windup.
That ball inside. Ball one, one, one.
Here's the one, one pitch. A swing and a foul.
Tipped back and hit Charlie Berry's mask and shook him up.
Boy, you could see Charlie shake his head and fall back a step.
To a solid foul off the umpire's mask. One ball, two strikes.
Mantles digs in at home plate.
Here's the windup.
Foul at the plate and that hit off Mickey's foot.
That ball was fouled right down off Mickey's right foot.
Mick just looking down at the foot.
He would love to reach down and grab and pull that spiked shoe off, but he knows if he hit it, the fans would really get on him.
That hurts.
Boy, Pappas didn't give him much time to get set. The pitch is outside, two and two.
I think he was just starting to tap the plate with his back when Pappas went into the windup.
It's just quick out there. It doesn't take much time.
Two, two, pitch. Strike three, please.
Strike out number six for the young right-hander.
And here's Bill Skaren who struck out in the second inning.
One time Pappas struck out four Yankees in a row. Skaren, Barrow, Blanchard and Richardson.
He also has Boyer and Mantles.
One out, nobody on.
Pitch to the moose. It's fouled on the right field line way back in the upper deck.
Three nothing, Baltimore lead. Top of the fifth, one out, nobody on.
On deck, Yogi Barrow.
One strike pitch, slow ball one one-on-one.
One-one delivery. Hit off the plate, down the third base line with a kick foul.
Skaren was across first base.
He was taking no chances in case that ball stayed there, but a kick foul halfway down between Holman and Thurst.
Briandos picked it up. Throw it to one ball, two strike count on the moose.
Pappas is throwing from up here what appears to be a fast curve or a slider.
It doesn't break much, but it breaks quick at the last second.
And that is really a tough pitch at times.
Here's the one ball, two strike pitch, fouled back in the upper deck.
Pappas on the mound for Baltimore. Wings into the winder. Good strike, three swinging.
Strike guard number seven for Pappas. And that was that fast-breaking pitch we told you about.
It starts to the outside part of the plate. And then just as a batter swings for it, it goes away from them.
And just the reverse to a left-hander. It's on the inside part of the plate. When they swing, it comes in on their fifth.
So even if they do hit it in there, they can't hit it very far off the handle.
Yogi Berra struck out his first time at that. Two out, nobody on.
This is Yogi outside. Pappas out of Triandos close. Picked up by Johnny Blanchard who's on deck, ball one.
And Yogi started to ask Berra to take a look at the ball, but then Triandos threw it back for the pitcher, so Yogi didn't even bother.
One ball, no strikes on Yogi.
Here's the winder. Low inside, ball two, two and up.
Two-nothing pitch inside, ball three, three and up.
So Pappas is in danger of walking his first man tonight. He's behind Yogi, three and up.
Pitch strikes, ball three and one.
Wind up, pitches pop, ball in the upper deck, strikes two, both out on Yogi. So Pappas came right back with two strikes.
Grubs up the new ball.
Now the wind up. The payoff pitch, five foul going out of play.
Again back in the upper deck. Out holds it three and two on Yogi. Baltimore leads three-nothing. We're in the top of the fifth inning, two out, nobody on.
Three-two count on Berra.
Johnny Blanchard swinging the big weight at bat on deck.
Three-two pitch, pop in the air. The shortstop Ron Hanson is moving back in short left field. He's under it and makes the cut.
And for the fourth consecutive inning, Pappas sets the Yankees down one, two, three, nothing across.
Baltimore at the end of four and a half innings, Baltimore three and the Yankees nothing.
Two-two count on Berra.
Two-three, the beer must be ice-free. Two-large flavors, ice-free.
The mold is whistling clear. The crisp, free pressure. Hey, get cold beer. Hey, get cold cold beer. Get cold, fast, fast beer.
Gene Woodling, who is open two and has his 17-game heading streak on the line, leads off of Baltimore here in the bottom of the fifth.
With the Birds leading the Yankees three to nothing. Gene flying to right and struck out.
The only left-hand hitter in the Baltimore lineup tonight. Takes the curve low, ball one.
Ready for it. He's been in trouble. Three of the four Yankees so far.
The curve swung at him. That's strike one, one-on-one.
You don't usually see Woodling go after the change-up curve ball.
The curve ball hit in the ground at second base. Richardson up with him. Over to Scour and one away.
One-on-one that brings up Brooks Robinson, who doubled the right field to drive in a run in the first inning and then bounced the short in the third.
One-out, nobody on. On deck, walls drop out.
Switch to Robinson. It's popped in the air. Johnny Blanchard, the catcher, is getting under it in foul territory.
Makes the catch and it's two away.
This boy had come all the way in from third base in case Blanchard was going to have any trouble with that high pop.
And here's walls drop out, who lined into a double play in the first inning and then lined a single at deep center. He also scored in the fourth inning.
One for two is a big drop out. Two out, now nobody on.
Curve to hit deep to left field. That's gone if it stays there. And home run for Walter Droppo.
Walter Droppo gets his fourth home of the year and his 21st run batted in at Whitey Ford's home at J.J.
Baltimore now leads four to nothing. Here's Gustiano. He's been up twice and walked both times. He's scored one run. Makes the curve outside, ball one.
He's got a little low outside, ball two. Two and nothing. Whitey has had trouble pitching to Trianto so far tonight. He walked him in the second and fourth inning. In the fourth inning on fourth, Grace Fitches.
Here's the wind up. Slow curve foul back in the seat.
He's scored one strike.
Ryan Gurer now is down to Yankee bullpen.
Whitey Fitch, slow curve hit high in the air to left center field. Way back, Yogi going back. Falling for it. And Mantle there and Mantle makes the catch right in front of Yogi.
And deep left center field. Baltimore on the bottom of the fifth. One run on one hit to Homer by Walt Droppo. No Yankee errors and nobody left. The score at the end of five full innings. Baltimore four and the Yankees nothing.
On the scoreboard, Washington beat Boston in the first game for 29 doublehead of five, one Lemon Dobeck and Ted William Coleman in that game. In the second game is Boston one, Washington nothing at the end of one.
Detroit is at Chicago. Regan against score. Cleveland is down to city starts later on. The national league, Milwaukee and Cincinnati, Jay against McLeish. Chicago at St. Louis, Cardwell against Jackson. Los Angeles or San Francisco starts later on. And Philadelphia and Pittsburgh not scheduled.
This is a good time for you to get your tickets for the important Labor Day doublehead of Monday with the Red Sox. The Tuesday afternoon Boston game and the big weekend series here with Baltimore. Friday night, Saturday afternoon and the Sunday doubleheaders, September 16th, 17th and 18th.

Johnny Blanchard who struck out in the third inning leads off against Milt Papas here in the top of the sixth with Baltimore leading Florida nothing.
First pitch by the right hander is low ball one.
On deck, Gil McDougal looks like Mack is going to bat for Richardson.
Wind up the pitches foul back on the screen.
Ryan Durant is loosening up in the Yankee both and looks like Stangles going to go to his bench.
Will have a pinch hitter for Richardson and possibly a pinch hitter for Whitey Ford who is due to follow.
Touched to Blanchard change up a long strike to again Blanchard try to check his swing but went far enough around.
Charlie Berry puts up that big right hand.
One ball two strikes.
Wind up.
There is his strike three called. He got Blanchard for the second time.
And his eighth strike out of the ball game.
And that is the first called strike out that Papas had the other seven with swinging strike out.
And here is Gil McDougal batting for Bobby Richardson.
McDougal batting 259. 13 doubles, 3 triples, 5 homers and 27 runs batted in.
Bobby is the only apparent struck out in the third inning.
Papas quickly into the wind up the pitch to McDougal as the curve over strikes one called.
Gil had just about time to get set on that batter's box.
You got to be ready with this boy out there.
Gil is trying to slow Papas down a little bit. Now he is ready.
Wind up.
Curve strike two cleaning.
He took a little bit off the curve ball that time and had McDougal out in front.
Nothing in true on Gil.
Charlie Berry little house cleaning down at home plate.
Here is the wind up.
Best ball is high. Ball one.
I figured he had McDougal set up for the high hard one as he threw him two breaking pitches before that.
Now the one ball two strike pitch. Inside two and two.
Two balls, two strikes, one out. Nobody on. Four nothing. Baltimore leads. Top of the sixth.
The two two pitch. A broken bat fly ball right at the shortstop.
Two outs. McDougal broke his bat hitting it on the handle right at Ronnie Hanson.
That's your way. And here is Dale Long coming up to bat for Whitey Four.
Long wearing uniform number 25.
Kent Hadley's old uniform number.
Is batting 429. He's three for seven. One homer and two runs batted in.
Two outs. Nobody on.
Here's the wind up. Pitch is popped in the air.
In back of the plate Gus Triando throws an ass away.
Coming under it. And makes the catch for the outs.
Three more men in a row. That's 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 17 men in a row.
That's Papas, Hesring, and Sire.
Nothing across for the Yankees in the top of the sixth.
And the score at the end of five and a half.
It's Baltimore four and the Yankees nothing.
You see this bat here is actually nice.
tones of love.
Howdy
Just a nice, golden, bound, I see
For the Yankees, Ryan Duren has come on to take over for Whitey Ford on the mound
and Gil McDougal moves into play second base in place of Bobby Richardson
Duren is making his 35th appearance of the year
He is 1-3 and lost 4
With a total of 38 in the third inning, giving up 22 hits
23 runs, 3 home runs
He walked 39 and struck out 49
He has a 4.74 earned run average
So these red hot Baltimore Orioles, leading 4-0 here in the bottom of the sixth
have Ronnie Hanson ready to lead off against Duren
Hanson pops to second base and was hit by a fixed ball
On deck is Jim Busby
We might see a few changes now with the right hand hooker out there
We might have some left handed pinch hitters, but we'll wait and see
By Duren on the mound, big, slow windup
Hicks to Hanson, high, no it's not, strike one
That's not to say high for a ball
Hanson was crouched way over that place
That's a good one
That's ball inside
One and one
The count on Ronnie Hanson here in the bottom of the sixth inning
Nobody out and nobody on
Baltimore 4, the Yankees nothing
The same two teams meet tomorrow afternoon and Sunday afternoon
Be on the air at 1.55 both days
1-1 pitch, low outside, gets away from blanket, rolls to the screen, balls 2, 2 and 1
Browd gets a big charge out of that
There's the windup, big tie inside, balls 3, 3 and 1
3-1 pitch, high inside, balls 4
After getting the first strike over, Duren threw four bad ones and Hanson walked
And Jim Busby is being called back now
And just as we figured the left handed hitters are going to strike
The Yankees are going to strike
And Jim Busby is being called back now and just as we figured the left handed hitters are going to start coming out
And it looks like Dave Billy who was just purchased from the San Francisco Giants making his appearance here tonight
Dave Billy
Wearing uniform number 22
Billy born May 16th, 1920 is 40 years old
He's broken into the Major Leagues in 1941 with a white stock
So this is the switch hitter batting left handed against Ryan Duren
The threat and the pitch to Billy, high ball worn almost a wild pitch
Bowen is holding first base against Hanson
Boyer is in it third
Billy is a fierce competitor and he has split in a second base against me many times
Knock me strong
Play hard, hard and plain
Here's the stretch
The pitch, inside ball 2, 2 and nothing
And going down to the bullpen
We have some action
Duke Marsh is opening down there
Jim Hagan has been put on the active list for the Yankees
He has been the catching coach
Jim Hagan was one of the finest catchers in the big leagues
Real fine receiver
The man when he handled that staff of Feleper, Winsostea and Lemmon
Over at Cleveland he did quite a job
Four tough men to handle
By 2 and nothing on Billy with Hanson leading off first
Nobody else in the bottom of the sixth ball to ball lead 4-0
Here's the stretch
The pitch, strike ball, fastball down the middle
Two balls, one strike
And Charlie Berry is telling one of the young photographers to move back
He's only about 10 feet from home plate
And if Billy could ever foul one off the end of his bat
He could really hurt that youngster
And he was in a dangerous spot
Now he moves way down by the third base coaching block
Better off getting a telephoto lens and getting down the left field corner
All right, Hanson with a good size lead off first
The pitch, the pitch, foul pitch held by Blanket strike 2, 2 and 2
On deck the second base coach is going to be the Yankees
On deck the second baseman Mark Greedy
Two balls, two strikes
Here's the stretch and the endurance steps off the rubber
And yelling ball up again
And endurance steps once again
There he goes, he's got a good jump to throw to second base
And he's going to be in there
Why did he get a running jump on Ryan Duren?
He was bouncing up and down off first base
And then he took off just after Duren took his last look at first base
The shoulder base for Hanson, only his second of the year
And a pitch was lined at the 3-2 count on Jay Philly
Nobody else
Ready for the tail of Prince of Philly
Here it is and he's leading at the strike 3
Philly strikes out, here's Mark Greedy, who's single
And Hanson on fourth play, driving in a run on a fourth inning
And here's the stretch by Duren
One out, Hanson down at second base
Here's the stretch by Duren
It's the greeting, Frank wanted, women are missing
Boy, he's going after that ball
And he's going to be in there
That's right, and going to miss
And boy, he's going after that ball with fire
Looks like Dean Stevens is lifting up down in the Baltimore bullpen
Stephen, who throws right-handed, bats left-handed
Maas rating. Ryan Durham and release of whitey four with the first five in is giving up six
and four runs. That's the new ball from Charlie Barry the Played On Five.
The bottom of the sixth inning.
And now Casey Stang will move the infield in on the edge of the infield there for a possible play at the plate.
Here's the wind up. Strike three. He's got the first ball right down the middle.
Maas rating is fall out on strike for during second strike out.
And that'll bring up Milt Pantus who's been up twice struck out both times.
And now Durham wants for it to play in at third and Milt Pantus starts to beat out a bunch.
Here's the wind up.
He's lost coming down the line.
Durham takes that big slow wind up and that time at least he didn't bother to take a glance over at third base.
Now he looks over there. Here's his wind up.
Pantus is having some good cuts out there but he's not hitting the ball.
Nothing in his shoe. It's too out.
Durham taking time out to wipe his glasses.
Put them back on.
Jackie Brand is on deck.
Here's the wind up. Strike three swinging.
Third time in a row that Pantus has gone down a strike.
Durham strikes out the side after walking Hanson lead off the inning.
And for Baltimore no runs, no hits, no Yankees errors.
One man left and the score at the end of sixth for the inning.
Baltimore four runs, six hits, no errors. The Yankees no runs, one hit and no errors.
On the scoreboard Washington defeated Boston in the first game of the Twineye Doublehead a five to one.

On the right side, the bright side of your dial, this is Quality Modern Radio, 1460 WLKO Albany, New York.
Hello there everybody, we're ready to move now into the seventh inning. We have some changes. Gene Stevens has gone to right field.
And in center field, Jackie France, Woodingham, Maine to the left.
Today Philly had hit for Jim Busby.
Now we go into the seventh inning, four to nothing in favor of the Orioles. Top of the order, Tony Kuvek takes the strike fastball.
Milt Pappas, pitching a brilliant ball game, gave up a base hit to Kuvek to start the game and has knocked off every Yankee since, including getting Maris drowning into a double play.
There's a bounce of draft by Pettit with a total of first ten times.
The pay to tenants is 44,518.
18 men in a row retired by Pappas after giving a base hit, Kuvek to open the game.
The police boyer is struck out and blind to left. The pitch is just outside for a ball.
The right hander's next delivery, in there for a strike, one and one. Boyer, just used his ball.
One ball, one strike, one out. Four to nothing Orioles in the seventh inning. Milt Pappas' delivery backs him away. Ball to good one.
Two-one count on Klee Boyer. Pappas into the windup, in comes the pitch, point on line in the right field and it is in there for a base hit.
Now Hoyt Wilhelm goes down to the bullpen.
Ball Richards has depth and pitching and he's got plenty of the use in easy. Two balls, one strike, and the pitch is accidentally tapped toward the mound.
They throw to first base, gets Maris. On the second goes Boyer. Maris is not swinging, he's pulling away from the plate.
Ball both hands get to bat. And he's an easy out at first base. So it's two down, Boyer on second, here's Mantle out on a drag punt to reading in the second inning and struck out on the fifth.
Four to nothing ball aboard in the seventh inning. Two out. Pappas into the stretch and the pitch to Mantle, in there for a strike.
Ball hits the middle of the plate and is tailed away from it. No balls, one strike. Pappas working fast and the pitch is outside. Ball one, one and one.
One and one count. Yankees have scored four runs in our last three ball games. This is the fourth. And the stretch.
Next pitch is going on and one high in the air. Down to third base line. Now on the foul territory goes Brooks Robinson and he has it.
And the side is retired. No runs, one hit, no errors and one left on. At the end of the sixth and a half inning the score remains Baltimore four and New York nothing.
You know I'm sure you've heard the expression that's in the bag. Well, you know what that means to everything. Uncle Dory okay.
I'll tell you this, your holiday weekend will go a lot smoother and pleasant if you just remember to take home a big bag full of frosty Ballantyne six-pack.
Yes sir, you keep those easy-carrying Ballantyne beer six-pack candy and when you and your friends feel like they're more fragment just flip open one of those six-packs and treat yourself to Ballantyne.
It's the light beer with true lager flavor. That's what makes Ballantyne the crisp for pressure. So when you're shopping for the weekend look for the icy blue six-pack and enjoy its smooth delicious Ballantyne beer the crisp for pressure.
This is a fifth largest crowd they've ever had for an Oriole ballgame 44,518. Gives them their largest total attendance for any given season.
As we go into the last half of the seventh inning it'll be the top of the Oriole order Jackie Brandt, Gene Woodling and Brooks Robinson. Tomorrow afternoon Art Dittmar will face Jack Fisher, our airtime 155.
The Yankees will be home on Labor Day with the Boston Red Sox, double header and Tuesday afternoon.
Jackie Brandt one for three. Ryan Durin pitches outside ball one. Brandt opened the game with a single, sixth second on a fly to right and short on Brooks Robinson's double into the right field corner.
Ryan Durin took over for the beginning of the sixth inning after Whitey Ford has been removed for a pinch hitter. Ford gave up all the Oriole runs.
Durin pitch in there. Strike one, one and one.
One ball, one strike.
