00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:15,000
On October 2nd, 1954, the New York Giants faced the Cleveland Indians at Cleveland Stadium for Game 4 of the 1954 World Series.

3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:30,000
The Giants led the best of 7 series three games to none, and this is the mutual radio broadcast of Game 4 featuring announcers Al Helfer and Jimmy Dudley.

4
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:59,000
From Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Gillette presents the fourth game of the World Series between the New York Giants and Cleveland Indians.

5
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:04,000
Good afternoon baseball fans, this is Al Helfer speaking for the Gillette Safety Racer Company.

6
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Gillette is on the air the year round with America's leading sports events for your entertainment.

7
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
These include the Friday night boxing matches and such classics as the Rose Bowl game and Kentucky Derby.

8
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,000
It's our way of thanking you folks who used Gillette products for your patronage.

9
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:30,000
Now we switch to the clubhouse for Frankie Frisch, the Fordham Flashers standing by with Bobby Avila and Hank Thompson to discuss highlights of yesterday's game and perhaps a few guests or two about today.

10
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Come in Frankie Frisch.

11
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000
Come in Frankie Frisch.

12
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
Good afternoon fans.

13
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Well, our guest this afternoon is Henry Thompson, and folks I'd like to brag about this fellow a little bit before I ask him a question.

14
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
Henry you don't mind, I want to talk a little bit about you.

15
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:51,000
Here's a fellow we haven't heard too much about, but he's been doing a tremendous job, an outstanding job.

16
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000
He's got two of his routers here, Paul LaPorte and Arthur Suskin.

17
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,000
They are really two great routers of yours.

18
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:11,000
But here's a fellow who has done a tremendous job defensively, and he's been hitting the ball in the clutch, and the outstanding thing is the base running job he did the day before yesterday.

19
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000
Remember Henry when you were on first base?

20
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Yeah.

21
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,000
And Dusty Rhodes hit the ball to left center field with a little blooper?

22
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Yes.

23
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
That play was right in front of you, wasn't it?

24
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Yes, I could see that Larry couldn't have caught them all.

25
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
You could see and you kept right on going?

26
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Yes.

27
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000
And piece of base running had a great deal to do with the guys winning that ball game.

28
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,000
You went to third and Dusty Rhodes followed you right to second, right?

29
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,000
That's right.

30
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Henry, how's this thing going to come out now?

31
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Well Frank, I hope we can win today and get on back to New York City.

32
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,000
What about that Cleveland pitching? You've been hitting them pretty good, haven't you?

33
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
I didn't hit them too good. They got good pitching.

34
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
I know they got good pitching, but you are leading the club in scoring, aren't you?

35
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Well I don't know how I haven't looked up.

36
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
Well I know you're not looking up the records, but I know you are.

37
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
Henry, where did you start playing ball?

38
00:02:54,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Well I started down in Dallas, Frank. I used to work at the ballpark there and kept playing around and jagging balls and so on and so forth.

39
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000
Did you work around the ballpark in a parking lot or anything?

40
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000
No, I hit the ballpark.

41
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Oh, at the ballpark.

42
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,000
I got a good friend of mine named John Hopps there. I hope he's looking at it.

43
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:17,000
All right, Henry. And now look, I got this, how much do you weigh?

44
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:18,000
170 right now.

45
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
170, how tall?

46
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,000
5'8".

47
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000
5'8". Little guys can play ball too. How well I can recall being back in the St. Louis Cardinals.

48
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
Bill Shaddell, air-jagged pitchers, slow ball, change of pace.

49
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Arthur Neff, another great World Series pitcher.

50
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,000
Arthur's living in Phoenix now, a terrific guy.

51
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000
And Harvey Haddix, Bobby Shands, and a number of other guys.

52
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:44,000
And also Dick Ridon. And they've done a fine job.

53
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Henry, what are you going to do after the season's over?

54
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
What are you going to do with your World Series money?

55
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Well, my wife, she got that all planned up. She'll take care of that, frankly.

56
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
I mean, you're going to get a little bit of it, aren't you?

57
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Every now and then I will.

58
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
Henry, it's well to have you on our program.

59
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:05,000
But first, I'd like to present you with this new Gillette one-piece razor set and the 1954 World Series record book.

60
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
And fans, look for this Gillette display at your favorite store.

61
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
And Henry, will you take that, please?

62
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,000
But this Gillette World Series record book is a dandy.

63
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,000
You're going to find this big little book filled with baseball facts with diagrams of all the major league ballparks.

64
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:29,000
And it's got 112 pages of real dope on World Series history.

65
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:36,000
But there's a picture in here, and it's a picture of the 1953 Yankees, the World Series Yankees.

66
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
It's a terrific picture.

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And Henry, nice to see you.

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Thank you very much.

69
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
And have a good winter, boy, and keep bearing down.

70
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Thank you very much.

71
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
Goodbye, everybody. See you later.

72
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Now, fans, we have another treat here.

73
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:56,000
We have a fellow that's done a tremendous job all year long at second base for the Cleveland Indians.

74
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
Bobby Avila. Do I pronounce that right?

75
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Yeah, this is right from the system with my name, Frankie.

76
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Let me have that again, please. Bobby?

77
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Bobby Avila.

78
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
Avila. Avila.

79
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,000
Well, I got it down then, didn't I?

80
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:08,000
Yeah, you're right.

81
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
Bob, what do you think you fellas are going to do today?

82
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Well, I'm going to try to win today and then take the next three games.

83
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
You're going to win today and then take the next three?

84
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,000
That's right.

85
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Who's going to pitch for you today?

86
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Lemon.

87
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
Lemon is a good pitcher.

88
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Your pitching hasn't been too bad outside of yesterday. It was a little shaky.

89
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Well, I think the pitching's been wonderful. Yes, we don't score any runs for them.

90
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Pitching seems to dominate in all World Series.

91
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,000
What do you think about the giant pitchers?

92
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Well, they didn't pitch a good ball.

93
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
They think we don't score too many runs for them.

94
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,000
I don't know if it is the pitching or maybe it is us. We've hit nothing.

95
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,000
Well, you haven't. There's no secret about that, Bob.

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,000
You fellas haven't been hitting in the clutch, isn't that right?

97
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,000
That's right.

98
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:50,000
And I think the Giants, I don't mean to say this because some people might say that your flash likes to see a good ball game.

99
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:56,000
You know, I'm not crazy about who's going to win this thing, but I'd like to see a good, real hot ball game.

100
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Like all three have been good ball games.

101
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Pretty good.

102
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:03,000
But the Giants have been running those bases pretty good, Bob.

103
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Well, the reason is because they're getting on base. We don't get on base.

104
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
Now we're on the base.

105
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,000
You've had some men on bases, but you haven't been getting that key hit.

106
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000
You haven't been really getting the hit that means something.

107
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
That's right. We don't hit in the clutch so far in this series.

108
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000
How about the umpiring in this series?

109
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000
Well, I'd say they've been pretty good playing.

110
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:27,000
And you know, can't tell because in three or four games, anybody can make a mistake and call a bad ball like anybody.

111
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,000
They are human beings.

112
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
That's right. And I think the umpiring has been outstanding in this series.

113
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
I think they've been doing a fine job.

114
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:38,000
Tell me something about a fellow that used to play for me that I thought was a grand guy and still is a great guy to me.

115
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:39,000
Your manager, Al Lopez.

116
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,000
Well, he's a really nice fellow and I'd say he's one of the best managers in the business right now.

117
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
You like to play for Al, huh?

118
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,000
Yeah, I wish I could play for a long time for him.

119
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,000
Well, you will. How old are you now?

120
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,000
28, Frank.

121
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,000
28? You'll be playing until you're old second baseman. They just keep going.

122
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
I wish I could play for a minute. You'll play, Frank.

123
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,000
Wait a minute. You'll play. You'll play. The old flash is a second soccer.

124
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
It's an interesting place to play, isn't it?

125
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
I love to play second base.

126
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:09,000
Yes, and stay at that second. Of course, when you get a little older, you can always shift over to the old man's home, you know, third base.

127
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Third base.

128
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:15,000
That's not a bad spot. All you got to do over third base, you know, look in the glove, it might be there. That's not a bad place.

129
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,000
But that Thompson has been playing a great ball, hasn't he?

130
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Well, certainly he's been catching a few balls that he put in hard to third base.

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
He took a few off you, didn't he?

132
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
That's right.

133
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:29,000
Say, Bobby Avila. Here's a Gillette. Oh, now you're going to enjoy that. I know you will. And the record book is a dandy.

134
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:36,000
And it's a, of course, you know, it's a one-piece razor. And a 1950 World Series record book goes with it.

135
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:39,000
Fans, you can get your copy at your favorite store.

136
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:44,000
Bob Avila, lots of luck to you, young man. And I hope you have many years in Big League Ball.

137
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Thank you, Frank.

138
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:53,000
That's all we have time for now, folks. If this proves to be the final game, I'll be on the air after it's over with some of the stars of the winning team.

139
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,000
Otherwise, we'll be back tomorrow with more pregame interviews.

140
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:02,000
And now we switch to the Gillette broadcasting booth.

141
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:12,000
And here at Cleveland, everybody, the weatherman has been specifically kind because we have a blue, cloudless sky overhead, very little breeze blowing, and bright sunshine.

142
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:18,000
And the broadcast this afternoon is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Commissioner of Baseball solely for the entertainment of our listening audience.

143
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And any publication, rebroadcast, or other use of the descriptions and accounts of this game without the express consent of the Commissioner is prohibited.

144
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:34,000
And the broadcasting of today's game, the fourth of the 1954 World Series, marks not only the 16th year in which these games have been aired over this network,

145
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:40,000
but today the mutual broadcasting system is proud to be presenting itself on its 20th birthday.

146
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
So it's sort of a joyous occasion, and we expect the same here at Cleveland.

147
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
The starting lineup for this afternoon's ball game, the fourth in the series, three of them have been won by the New York Giants.

148
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
And for the visiting New York Giants, Widy Loughlin will lead off at first base.

149
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Hitting second will be Alvin Dark at shortstop.

150
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
The right fielder is Don Mueller.

151
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Hitting number four is the center fielder, Willie Mays.

152
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Hank Thompson will be the third baseman batting in the number five position.

153
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
Hitting sixth is Marty Ervin in left field.

154
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
David Williams, the second baseman.

155
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
And the catcher is Wes Westrom.

156
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
The pitcher here this afternoon is Mount Carmel, Illinois' little left-hander, Don Little.

157
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:24,000
And we'll give you the Cleveland lineup just as soon as all stand to attention for the playing and singing of our national anthem.

158
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,000
Now the movie star Jeff Chandler has sung our national anthem for us.

159
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,000
We can give you the starting lineup for the Cleveland Indians.

160
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Al Smith will be in left field leading off.

161
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Hitting number two is Bobby Avila at second base.

162
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Hitting the number three position will be Larry Doby in center field.

163
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Al Rosen returns to third base this afternoon.

164
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
For the Indians, he'll bat in the number four position.

165
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
Then comes Victor Wirtz at first base.

166
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
Vic Wirtz at first base.

167
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
In right field is Wally Westlake.

168
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Sam Dente gets the call at shortstop this afternoon for Al Lopez Tribe.

169
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
Jim Higgins, the catcher, and the pitcher is Bob Lemon.

170
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Coming back after having lost the first ball game in a series, it is he called upon this afternoon to see what he can do about stopping the onrushing New York Giants.

171
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Lemon has pitched nine in the third innings in this year's World Series losing the ball game.

172
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,000
He's a 23-game winner from Long Beach, California.

173
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,000
The umpire and chief behind the plate this afternoon from the American League is Johnny Stevens.

174
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
Al Bartek of the National League at first.

175
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Charlie Berry of the American League at second.

176
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
Jocko Conlon of the National League at third.

177
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,000
And it's going to be Nathanael Warnocky on the baselines.

178
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:54,000
And now before we turn the microphone over to our very good friend Jimmy Dudley for the first portion of the ball game, let's pause here 10 seconds for station identification.

179
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:58,000
This is VIRTUO, the radio network for all America.

180
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:10,000
WGN, your exclusive World Series station in Chicago.

181
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:20,000
And so this afternoon it's a battle between the veteran Bob Lemon, the 23-game winner this year for Cleveland, and little Don Little, the low-pitching left-hander for the New York Giants.

182
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,000
He's known for his low-breaking stuff.

183
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000
Well, let's see how the two are going to fare here this afternoon.

184
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,000
And stepping up to the microphone is Jimmy Dudley.

185
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:35,000
And Jimmy, this I guess we'll have to say is the do or die game as far as the Cleveland Indians are concerned.

186
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,000
You're absolutely right, Al, and thank you very much.

187
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,000
And hello again baseball fans everywhere.

188
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:47,000
Yes sir, as Al stated, this is a do or die day for the Cleveland Indians trailing three games to nothing.

189
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
Al Lopez is sending his ace right-hander Bob Lemon to the mound.

190
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
He started the first game of the World Series at the Polo Grounds.

191
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Just a couple of days ago.

192
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:02,000
It seems like an awful long time ago, I'm quite sure, to a lot of Indian fans all over the world.

193
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,000
But then this is baseball, and a lot can happen.

194
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Even when you're trailing three games to nothing, Whitey Lockman steps into the batter's box, batting 154 left-hand batter.

195
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:16,000
The first pitch of the ballgame is a strike to the outside corner waist-tie.

196
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
Strike one called, Whitey Lockman, number 25.

197
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Only 28 years old, he's still one of the veterans of the Giant team.

198
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Here's the windup.

199
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Lemon's next pitch is fouled back into the stand, up to the left.

200
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
And the count is strike two.

201
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,000
On to the count on the batter.

202
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:47,000
Lemon turned in a fine performance in the first game of the World Series at the Polo Grounds on Wednesday afternoon.

203
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:58,000
But as we all know, lost on a home run to Dusty Rhodes, who has been without a doubt the hitting star of the 54 World Series.

204
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
Lemon checks his sign, works into the windup.

205
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
The 0-2 pitch, Lockman takes ball one low into the dirt.

206
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Ball one and strike two.

207
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:12,000
Whitey Lockman joined the New York Giants back in 1945.

208
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:18,000
An 18-year-old ballplayer out of North Carolina.

209
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,000
But he's found the Polo Grounds and the rest of the Major League parks to his liking.

210
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
Ball one and strike two, the count on him.

211
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,000
Whitey stands deep in the batter's box.

212
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:30,000
Here's the pitch.

213
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Strike three called with a fastball to the inside corner.

214
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
He's struck him out.

215
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:41,000
And lemon starting off today's game with a strikeout.

216
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:51,000
And of course, in baseball tradition and superstition, that is the good sign for the pitcher.

217
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,000
The opposite of course is walking the first man.

218
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000
They say he'll always come home to roost on you.

219
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Here's Captain Alvin Dark, number 19, the Giants shortstop, batting 333 in the series.

220
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Take ball one outside, curveball breaking down and away.

221
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Dark has four hits in the series thus far for a 333 average.

222
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Lockman, the leadoff man, had two so far.

223
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,000
One out and nobody on.

224
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,000
Lemmon's next pitch.

225
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Dark swings and hits a high fly ball into short right center.

226
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:26,000
Bobby Abila goes back but Wally Westlake is in, calls him off and makes the catch.

227
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Alvin Dark, fly to Wally Westlake, the right fielder, coming in fast.

228
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
To a short right field position.

229
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:38,000
You know there have been only four home runs in this series, two for each team.

230
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,000
There was a World Series that didn't produce a single home run.

231
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,000
Though it had as its hero the greatest circuit platter of them all, Babe Ruth.

232
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:49,000
I find in the Gillette World Series record book that was back in 1918.

233
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
And the Babe Pidston won two games for the Red Sox.

234
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
And now up is Don Hewler.

235
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:59,000
He swings on the first pitch, hits a fly ball out into that center, dropping in there for a base hit.

236
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Harry Dolby made a run for it but couldn't get to it.

237
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
So there is the first hit of the ball game, that's Hewler's.

238
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:12,000
That's a top fly single into that center.

239
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
That's Hewler's fifth World Series hit for this year.

240
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
And it brings up Willie Mays.

241
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:27,000
There's not much more that you can say about this board that hasn't already been said or written.

242
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:34,000
In the thousands of articles that have acclaimed him as one of baseball's most exciting ball players.

243
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Right hand batter, Mays had three hits in yesterday's game.

244
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Swings on the first pitch, pops it up, foul, down the first base line.

245
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,000
Vic Wirtz moves into foul territory.

246
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000
He has it and the side is retired.

247
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000
Mays foul to Vic Wirtz.

248
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
And for the Giants in the first inning, no runs, one hit, one man left.

249
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,000
And going into the last half of the first inning, the score is New York nothing, Cleveland nothing.

250
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,000
You know fans, to be right in all the thrills that make this series the biggest thing in sports,

251
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,000
you need the new Gillette World Series record book.

252
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
You don't have to be a red hot fan to get a big boot out of this handy reference book.

253
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,000
It's indexed so you can put your finger right on what you want to know.

254
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000
It's pocket size and crammed full of scores of past series games.

255
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:26,000
It names the record of every player, all the basic rules and scoring tips,

256
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,000
modern record breaking performances, this year's player rosters,

257
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:34,000
and a lot of baseball information you won't find in any other book.

258
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,000
With it you get more fun out of the World Series and the Hot Stove League coming up this winter.

259
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000
And as far as that's concerned, next year's games too.

260
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
Why don't you get this book?

261
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Remember it's free. It comes attached to the Gillette Super Speed Razor Set.

262
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
You buy it for just one dollar.

263
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,000
You better pick up a copy tonight though because that supply is going mighty fast.

264
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,000
And now going into the last half of the first inning, the Indians coming to bat.

265
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,000
And for the Indians this is the big play.

266
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:21,000
I notice that Al Lopez is sending Mike Garcia early win his entire pitching staff to the both ends.

267
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:27,000
We'll have them ready, ready for duty on a minute's notice.

268
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,000
Leo DeRosha's in the spot to do the same thing.

269
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Stepping into the batter's box to lead off for the Indians is Al Smith, left fielder,

270
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,000
batting 273 in the World Series thus far, has three hits.

271
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Fuzzy, his teammates call him, Fuzzy Tough.

272
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Little's first pitch to end this ball went inside and low.

273
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Little Don Little, the giant left-hander, noted for his pinpoint control.

274
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:58,000
He's a curveball artist, one nine lost four during the regular season.

275
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Last half of the first, the next pitch is ball two, over but low.

276
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000
Umpire Stevens right on the ball, all the way down into the catcher's bow.

277
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:19,000
This has been a series kept well in hand by the umpires.

278
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Little okays the sign. The two-and-nothing pitch is a strike of beauty right down the middle.

279
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:31,000
The captain moves to ball two and strike one.

280
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,000
American League umpire Johnny Stevens working back of the plate on the balls and strikes.

281
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:41,000
Barlich at first base, Berry at second, Conlon at third.

282
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Knapp on the left field foul and Lahn-Wanakee on the right.

283
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:50,000
The two-one pitch, ball three, high and outside, it's a fast ball, took off.

284
00:19:50,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Sailed out of the strike zone, the count is ball three and strike one.

285
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000
The fourth game of the 1954 World Series coming your way from Cleveland's big municipal stadium

286
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,000
before better than 70,000 people.

287
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Here's the windup, the three-one pitch is a strike to the inside corner and the string is out.

288
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:22,000
Full count of three and two.

289
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,000
McCloud always sympathizes with the batter, of course, on that pitch when he starts toward first.

290
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:33,000
But the yellow of the umpire, the strike two, calls him back.

291
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Full count.

292
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
Little working carefully into the windup.

293
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
The next pitch is swung on and a fireball is hit just back to second base.

294
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Into short center, second base from Davy Williams.

295
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Back under it, he has it, we're up number one. One away.

296
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000
That brings up number one, Bobby Avila, the Indian second baseman.

297
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:02,000
Well, Willie Mays was hitless up until yesterday's game.

298
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:08,000
He got three and his World Series average of 54 is now 300.

299
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Bobby Avila, American League batting champion, has only two hits in the three games played thus far.

300
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,000
Average of 182.

301
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:25,000
Right-hand batter, a fellow from Veracruz, Mexico.

302
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,000
One out, nobody on, he takes the strike.

303
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Race-tide pitch.

304
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,000
In less than ten days from the time the World Series has concluded,

305
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:43,000
Avila will be in Mexico City playing baseball, the Winter Leagues.

306
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:47,000
The next pitch joined, he swings and he misses, strike two.

307
00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,000
And Little crossed him up.

308
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
He was looking for that famous little curve, but he got a fastball.

309
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Up around the shoulders and went for it.

310
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:00,000
The count is strike two.

311
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:04,000
The giant outfield, Irvin, in left, Mays in center.

312
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
Mueller in right.

313
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:11,000
They're shaded toward left for this right-hand batter.

314
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
Oh, and to the count. Here's the windup.

315
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000
The next pitch is ball one high and inside. One and two count.

316
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:27,000
Now, umpire Stevens wants to take a look at that ball.

317
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:31,000
Avila won the American League Batting Championship with an average of 3.41.

318
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:39,000
He packs a lot of power. Also hit 15 home runs during the regular season.

319
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Ball one, strike two, the count.

320
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000
One out and nobody on, no score in the last half of the first inning.

321
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:47,000
Here's the windup.

322
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:53,000
The next pitch is ball one and a line drive is hit to the second baseman, Davy Williams, for out number two.

323
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:09,000
That brings up number 14, Larry Delby, the Indian center fielder.

324
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:13,000
Delby has only two hits in the World Series.

325
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:20,000
First three games. His batting average is 167.

326
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Two out and nobody on, left-hand batter.

327
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
First pitch is ball one high and inside a fastball.

328
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,000
Delby hit the dirt. Get out of the way of it.

329
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,000
Little is not noted for his speed. Depends on his curveball, honestly.

330
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,000
And excellent control.

331
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:41,000
Two out and nobody on in the last half of the first inning.

332
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:51,000
The next pitch, ball two inside. Ball two, no strikes.

333
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:58,000
After watching Johnny Antonelli work the other day, especially pitching to Delby and Wirtz,

334
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000
we have a suspicion that Leo DeRoscia has told Little,

335
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:07,000
stay away from the curveball when you pitch to these two boys.

336
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Wirtz and Delby, two left-hand batters.

337
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:14,000
The next pitch is a strike to the outside corner.

338
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
Ball two and strike one.

339
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:21,000
Coaching at third base for the Indians, number 44, Tony Cuccinello.

340
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,000
At first base, the coach here is Red Crest, number 42.

341
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
Two out for the Indians in the last half of the first inning.

342
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
The count of the batter, ball two and strike one.

343
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:38,000
Next pitch, he swings and he misses. Strike two.

344
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:47,000
On deck is now Rosen, the Indians' third baseman, back in the lineup.

345
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:51,000
A beautiful day for baseball here in Cleveland.

346
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Skies are clear.

347
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Two-and-two count. Here's the windup.

348
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,000
The next pitch is swinging and he misses. He struck him out on a curveball.

349
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Delby goes down swinging.

350
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
And there is the first strikeout for Little.

351
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,000
That is the fourth time that Delby has struck out in the World Series.

352
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:15,000
For the Indians, no runs, no hits, nothing across.

353
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,000
And at the end of the first inning, the score, New York Giants, nothing.

354
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,000
The Cleveland Indians, nothing.

355
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:29,000
You know, the New York Giants won the National League flag,

356
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:32,000
but Walt Alston, the freshman manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers,

357
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:37,000
certainly gave the Giants a battle for first place.

358
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
And you should see Walt's beard. It's a mean one.

359
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:46,000
But he says shaving isn't hard at all, and it's always refreshing with the one-piece Gillette razor.

360
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Walt Alston is mighty particular about the way he looks.

361
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Like everyone else, he wants quick, comfortable shaves.

362
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,000
Why don't you try this convenient, easy shaving razor?

363
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:09,000
It'll give you a slick-looking shave that'll last and last.

364
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Well, the first inning completed.

365
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
No score for either team. One hit.

366
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:18,000
That's far. That by Don Mueller.

367
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Coming up in the first half of the second inning for the Giants is number 16, Hank Thompson.

368
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:30,000
He's batting 333 in the series with three hits.

369
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Mr. Henry, as the ballplayers themselves call him.

370
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:44,000
He was the fellow that worked in 43 double plays back in 1950,

371
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:50,000
equaling a record set by the famous Pytraner.

372
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:55,000
That record had stood for some 25 years.

373
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,000
Henry Thompson, left-hand batter.

374
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:07,000
Lemon, into the windup. The first pitch, his ball went outside and low.

375
00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And talking with many of the Indians this morning,

376
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
they are disappointed that they are showing thus far against the Giants,

377
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
but still in there to give it a battle all the way.

378
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Lemon pitches ball two inside with a curveball.

379
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:26,000
Ball two and no strikes.

380
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
The outfield pulled around toward right.

381
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Westlake deepened straight away back to the edge of the track.

382
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,000
They'll be well over in right center.

383
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,000
Nothing to nothing ball game.

384
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:43,000
The two-and-nothing pitch. Thompson takes ball three outside and low.

385
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Coaching down at first base, number six.

386
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,000
That's Freddie Fitzsimmons.

387
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,000
At third base, Herman Frank.

388
00:27:53,000 --> 00:28:00,000
The two-one pitch to Thompson is ball four of the three-one pitch. Excuse me.

389
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Ball four. Thompson takes a walk.

390
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:21,000
And Thompson now has five bases on balls in the Wales series.

391
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
The next batter, number 20, Marty Irvin.

392
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
Right-hand batter, left fielder, still looking for his first hit in the series.

393
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:37,000
He takes a strike, a fastball right in there.

394
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
Runner on first, Hank Thompson with nobody out.

395
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,000
The walk to Thompson, the first of the game.

396
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Here's the stretch.

397
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:56,000
The pitch is ball one outside and low, a curveball that almost got away from catcher Jim Hegan.

398
00:28:56,000 --> 00:29:01,000
Here's Irvin, one of baseball's real, steady ball players, day in and day out.

399
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,000
He gives you that same fine performance.

400
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:10,000
An all-star athlete from New Jersey, Orange High School.

401
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
The one-and-one pitch is one of the best.

402
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,000
There's a line drive, a vicious hit into left center, going for extra bases.

403
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Here's Thompson racing around second.

404
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:17,000
He's coming to third.

405
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
And Irvin goes for two.

406
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
He's in there with a double.

407
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:28,000
The Giants have runners on second and third with nobody out.

408
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:33,000
Marty Irvin coming through with his first base hit of the season, the series.

409
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:38,000
You always want to say season when you're thinking about the series.

410
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:44,000
So that base on balls to Thompson, has Lemon in trouble, has Irvin followed with a double.

411
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:49,000
Runners on second and third with nobody out in the batter is Davey Williams.

412
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:52,000
The infield now closes in.

413
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:55,000
They'll try to cut this run off of the plate.

414
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Williams is hitless in the series, right-hand batter.

415
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Swings on the first pitch, a line drive has hit the Wurz.

416
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Wurz goes to Davey and the throw goes over left field.

417
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Davey did not get back to second and Thompson comes on to score.

418
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Irvin moves to third.

419
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:16,000
There's an error, charge to Vic Wurz.

420
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,000
That was a rough break for Bob Lemon.

421
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Williams lined to Wurz.

422
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Indy could not get back to second in time to cover on Irvin.

423
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Wurz attempted to throw anyway and threw badly into left field.

424
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:40,000
So Thompson scores and the Giants lead one to nothing.

425
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
One out, the batter is Wes Westrom.

426
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
The infield is still in, one out.

427
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Westrom has three hits in the series for 300 average.

428
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
Lemon works into the windup.

429
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000
First pitch is thrown and there's a fly ball out into right field.

430
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
Westlake moves in, 100 now.

431
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,000
The runner tags up, there's the catch.

432
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,000
Westlake drops the ball and the runner comes on to score.

433
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:14,000
And I believe Westrom is going to be called safe at first on an error.

434
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Now Lopez comes out of the Indian dugout.

435
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:22,000
Hump by Charlie Burry, back to second base.

436
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:26,000
Motion safe on the ball hit by Westrom.

437
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:36,000
In other words, he is stating that Westlake did not have complete control of the ball.

438
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
He got the ball in his glove all right, but in shifting from the glove's hand to the throwing hand,

439
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
he let the ball drop to the ground.

440
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,000
And that is an error on Wally Westlake, the right fielder.

441
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000
The Indians' second error in this inning.

442
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:53,000
And the Giants lead by a score of two to nothing.

443
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Westrom is on first as a result of the error.

444
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Actually, it turns out to be a rough break on Westrom as far as getting credit for a run that at illness concerned.

445
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:18,000
The error takes away the RBI, unless the official score could want to make a ruling in that particular case.

446
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:29,000
An error takes away the RBI.

447
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:40,000
We'll check with the official score now to see whether Westom is given a sacrifice five.

448
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:43,000
Now the score is New York 2, Cleveland nothing.

449
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,000
First half of the second inning, only one out.

450
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:50,000
Westom is on first base.

451
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
That is a ruling based on umpire's judgment.

452
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,000
You must have complete control of a ball, even though you just catch it.

453
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:59,000
It's like a swan-o'-can of corn in any ball game.

454
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:07,000
In shifting from the glove's hand to the throwing hand, you must control it at all times and get that throw away.

455
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
The batter is Don Little, the pitcher.

456
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
He gets him on first, two runs are home.

457
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,000
Now the outfield, moving around toward left.

458
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:30,000
Two very costly errors have allowed two giant runs to score.

459
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Westom takes the lead off first.

460
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Little is the left-hander all the way.

461
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:37,000
Left-hand batter cuts over the plate.

462
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,000
First pitch to him, he tries to bunt and fouls it off to the left of the plate out of play.

463
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Strike one.

464
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:52,000
Batter on deck is Whitey Loughlin.

465
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,000
Strike one to count.

466
00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Rosen, the third baseman for the Indians, moves in.

467
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Right near the infield grad in case of a bunt try.

468
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:06,000
Here's the stretch.

469
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:09,000
The next pitch is strike two, calls.

470
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Little had the bat out there for the bunt, but pulled it back.

471
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Takes strike two.

472
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Going to the count.

473
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,000
Where's the cap?

474
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Very gently on his head.

475
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:28,000
Reminds you a little bit of the Yankees' famous Whitey Ford.

476
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:29,000
Strike two count.

477
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:31,000
Westom ready to travel from first.

478
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:32,000
One out.

479
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000
The pitch is ball one, high and inside.

480
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,000
Ball one and strike two.

481
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:47,000
The score is New York two, Cleveland nothing.

482
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,000
Left batter to the infield and close.

483
00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:56,000
The next pitch is ball two, over but low, and the count is even, two and two.

484
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:04,000
Little steps out now, looks down to his coach at third base, Herman Franks.

485
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Lemon juggles the ball in the glove.

486
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:16,000
Worst is holding against the runner, Westom at first base.

487
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,000
Two and two count.

488
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:20,000
Fourth game of the 54 World Series.

489
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:23,000
The Giants lead three to nothing in the series.

490
00:35:23,000 --> 00:35:26,000
The next pitch, ball three, outside.

491
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
Full count of three and two on the batter.

492
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Had two strikes on him.

493
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Now Little has worked it to the full count.

494
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Let's watch Westom at first base.

495
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000
He may be moving, with caution, the count three and two in the pitcher up.

496
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:46,000
One out.

497
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:50,000
The next pitch is strike three call, right in there, and he's stuck him out.

498
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000
Little called it on strike.

499
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:58,000
Westom holding at first base, very wisely so, against that very thing.

500
00:35:58,000 --> 00:36:04,000
That's the second strike out for Lemon, both on a call, third strike.

501
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000
That brings up number 25, Whitey Lockman.

502
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:13,000
Lockman, a left-hand batter, will call that on strikes in the first inning.

503
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:16,000
The Giants lead two to nothing.

504
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:20,000
Lemon's first pitch to Lockman is ball one, outside and low.

505
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:24,000
They're now playing straight away.

506
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Fine bleacher crowd today with the sun out, nice and warm,

507
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:34,000
and a lot of folks in the area back of the fence, between the bleacher and the fence.

508
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,000
Lemon checks the runner.

509
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:40,000
The pitch is a strike three high to the outside corner.

510
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Ball one and strike one to count.

511
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:53,000
That's Bob Lemon, the Indian base right-hander from Long Beach, California.

512
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Here's the catch.

513
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,000
The pitch is inside and low, ball two, two and one to count.

514
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:10,000
On deck is the other dangerous Alvin Dowd.

515
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000
Pepper in the Indian infield, Al Rosen, Sam Bendy,

516
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:17,000
and the other starting in for the pitcher.

517
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:21,000
A walk and a double. That Lemon and Trouble, two others, didn't help.

518
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:29,000
The next pitch, ball three, over but low, and the count is three and one.

519
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:36,000
Ball three, strike one.

520
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:39,000
That's Weston, there's the runner at first.

521
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Now it's moved away from the bag.

522
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:45,000
The three-one pitch, the runner's on the go, swinging a miss, a photo second.

523
00:37:45,000 --> 00:37:49,000
Bendy takes it and taps it on the runner, he's out.

524
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:53,000
A hit and run was on, and Weston is out.

525
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:58,000
A second base, he's in to Bendy, two-pitch.

526
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:03,000
The Lachman will get another chance in the third inning.

527
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:07,000
In the second, now for New York, markup two runs.

528
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:13,000
A hit with one rock, two Indian errors, very costly, and nobody left.

529
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:17,000
Going into the last half of the second inning, the score is New York two,

530
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,000
proven nothing.

531
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:27,000
Look shot, feel shot, be shot.

532
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:33,000
We spend a lot of effort, sir, to make sure you're jealous.

533
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:40,000
Align the blade exactly right, so fast with shape you'll get.

534
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:46,000
It's mighty sturdy, made to last, but if you drop it, brother,

535
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:52,000
and spoil the blade alignment, then it's time to get another.

536
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:57,000
To look shot, every time you take two, feel shot.

537
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:04,000
On the ball, we see the just be shot, in the whiskers, off with the mighty Gillette,

538
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:08,000
two first feet.

539
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,000
Buy one now, folks, and get with it.

540
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:18,000
The handy vest pocket Gillette, well through his record books.

541
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:24,000
We're heading into the last half of the second inning, a nice big hand for Al Rosen as he steps up.

542
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,000
He's leading off for the Indians, right hand batter,

543
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:34,000
was out of yesterday's game with that bad leg.

544
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:39,000
Here's the windup, and the first pitch to him is a set call, inside corner, way side.

545
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:45,000
Rosen has two hits in the series, the first two games he did not play in number three,

546
00:39:45,000 --> 00:39:49,000
batting average 250.

547
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:52,000
The Giants lead in this game by a score of two to nothing.

548
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,000
They lead in the World Series, three games for nothing,

549
00:39:55,000 --> 00:40:00,000
and a victory for them today would close the book on this year's classic.

550
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:06,000
The Indians hope, of course, to prevent that.

551
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:09,000
The next pitch, Rosen swings the ground ball over the pitchers head out of the second base,

552
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:13,000
knocked down by Williams, there's a throw to first, and in time on a beautiful play.

553
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:19,000
Rosen is out.

554
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:25,000
Fine play by Baby Williams, who had Rosen take perfectly,

555
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:33,000
the play in, over close court second, one out.

556
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:37,000
That brings up the quarks, number 23, the Indian first baseman.

557
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:42,000
There's a batting average of 500 for this season.

558
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:48,000
In the series thus far, he has six hits, 500 batting average.

559
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:56,000
Six out of 12.

560
00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:11,000
Big left hand batter, swings on the first pitch, and fouls it back into the upper deck out of play.

561
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:21,000
Right one, the outfielders are pulled around toward right for work.

562
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:28,000
The Giants coming up with two runs in the half of the second inning, the lead to the nothing.

563
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Little's next pitch, ball one high and inside, one and one to count.

564
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:41,000
That foul off the bat of Vic Woods back into the upper deck here.

565
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Hank Greenberg, the general manager of the Indians, tried for it, up to charge him an error I guess.

566
00:41:47,000 --> 00:42:03,000
The one and one pitch to work, there's ball two inside with a curve that failed him, ball two and strike one.

567
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Right side of the infield playing deep back to the edge of the outfield grass is David Williams, the second baseman.

568
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Deep along the line at first is Wiley Lachman.

569
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:14,000
The two one pitch is ball three, over but high.

570
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:18,000
Tried to get him with a fastball.

571
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:25,000
Three and one.

572
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:33,000
John Little, wearing number 37.

573
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:37,000
He's a pick-pick pitcher, a fellow you like to watch.

574
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Very smooth delivery, good follow through.

575
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:46,000
Check back to his outfielders now, taking the position to count three and one.

576
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
Works maybe gunning and he knows it.

577
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000
One out and nobody on, here's the windup.

578
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:56,000
The pitch and work attempts to pull away from it, fouls it down the third baseline and the count is three and two.

579
00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Ball was fielded by Tony Cucinello, going back into play.

580
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:04,000
Works failed to get the bat back and he started his swing.

581
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:09,000
Checked it, but still fouled it off.

582
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:12,000
The Indians still looking for their first hit.

583
00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Little has retired the first four men in a row, striking out Dobie for his first strike out of the game.

584
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:23,000
In through the count, on deck is Wiley Lachlake.

585
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:28,000
The payoff hit then works his, I believe the ball hit his bat, but it's rolled foul.

586
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:30,000
Yep, it hit the handle of his bat.

587
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000
Umpire Stevens, very alert on that play.

588
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,000
Very much alert.

589
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:45,000
Now works his swing to the umpire, but the ball hit his fist.

590
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:51,000
Umpire Stevens is probably not arguing against the fact that the ball hit him, what he is claiming.

591
00:43:51,000 --> 00:44:01,000
And from the crack of the ball on the bat, you have to say that Stevens made a great call on that.

592
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Now the ball hit the bat, and it's like the ball hit worse after you.

593
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:17,000
It must hit you first.

594
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:24,000
But there's the type of play that will give you some idea of how tough the job the men in blue have.

595
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:28,000
They're on their toes, these umpires.

596
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Lopez came out to see if Wetz was all right, so they'd train a wally bat.

597
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Second position, went out, nobody on.

598
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:39,000
The three-two pick, works his swing to miss the fireball out into short left field.

599
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:43,000
Coming over fast with Monty Oven, he can't get it and drops on the line foul.

600
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Works outside the white shot ball.

601
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,000
Umpire Larry Knapp, right out there on top of that play as the ball hits.

602
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Foul by Hitches, and Wetz now must again come back to the plate.

603
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:16,000
Well, the fans are getting a big feel out of it, and that's baseball.

604
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:21,000
In the last half of the second inning, the Giants lead by a score of two to nothing, one out.

605
00:45:21,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Wetz to bat it with a count three and two.

606
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:30,000
An exciting time at bat, that's for sure.

607
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,000
Now the fans calling for Wetz to come through.

608
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:38,000
Little checks his sign into the windup.

609
00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000
The big pitch, there's a line drive out into right center for a long base hit.

610
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:46,000
Going all the way to the fence, Wetz makes the turn at first, he's going for two.

611
00:45:46,000 --> 00:46:07,000
The two outfielders run together. Wetz comes in the second with a standup double.

612
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:14,000
And then the fans, there's one of the greatest examples of the basis of all baseball.

613
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:19,000
A never-ending battle between Pitcher and Paddow.

614
00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And Wetz won with a long double into right center.

615
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:32,000
The stars, New York 2, three to nothing.

616
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:38,000
That's the seventh series hit of this week.

617
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:41,000
There's two doubles, one triple, and one home run.

618
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Among these seven hits, the second is one out in the batters, Wally Westlake.

619
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Westlake has one hit played in one game.

620
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
Swings on the first pitch, it's a ground ball to the shortstop.

621
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:55,000
Big hop taken by Darts, a throw to first and Westlake is out.

622
00:46:55,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Westlake rounding out, short to first, six to three.

623
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:11,000
That brings up number 36, Sam Dente. The shortstop in today's ball game.

624
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:20,000
First game in the series that Dente has started.

625
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,000
He has been in two of the games, best ball.

626
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,000
As a utility player, after second was lifted for a panchetta.

627
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000
It's a right-hand batter, has no average.

628
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Takes ball one low into the dirt, good stop by Westlake from the giant catcher.

629
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:38,000
Block the ball with his check.

630
00:47:38,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Two out here in the last half of the second inning.

631
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000
The Giants lead by a score of two to nothing.

632
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,000
Westlake is on second.

633
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,000
He has the first Indian hit of the game.

634
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:53,000
Outfield is a shallow.

635
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:56,000
Little is ready, takes it back to the runner.

636
00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:01,000
The pitch to Dente, a trick to the outside corner, one and one to count.

637
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:05,000
Right now it's past ten seconds for station identification.

638
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,000
This is Mutuo, the radio network for all America.

639
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:19,000
WGM, your exclusive World Series station, Chicago.

640
00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Out set for the next pitch is strike two, foul, the curve ball breaking over at the knees.

641
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:30,000
The count now is ball one and strike two.

642
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Umpire Stevens to take the heat off, dressing off home plate.

643
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:47,000
Dente clapping home plate with the heavy end of the bat, flashes it around as he steps back in.

644
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:53,000
Lads from New Jersey, fine utility ball player, good job, man.

645
00:48:53,000 --> 00:49:01,000
Runner on second. The next pitch is fouled into the stands, off to the right of the plate, and the count remains.

646
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Ball one and strike two.

647
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:06,000
The two out.

648
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:11,000
As the Indians come up with their first bit of excitement in the ball game, a runner on second.

649
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:14,000
The two out. Dente the batter.

650
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:21,000
The Giants showing two runs lead by that score two to nothing.

651
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:27,000
On deck, hoping for a chance to come up, it's Jan Huygen.

652
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Little checks to the runner. The pitch is low into the dirt and gets away from Westrom.

653
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:35,000
Rolls off to the left of the plate, which moves the third.

654
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:38,000
Westrom recovers the ball and it's a wild pitch.

655
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:46,000
Dodge to Don Little.

656
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:56,000
The pitchers are really uncorking some wild throws in this game and in others of the 1954 World Series.

657
00:49:56,000 --> 00:50:10,000
Always get to thinking about records, but of course when you talk about records, just have your handy Gillette World Series record book with you, and you'll never be lost.

658
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:15,000
Both lemon and wind come up with wild pitches.

659
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000
The runner's two and two. What's now is one goes closer to home.

660
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,000
Two out. The two-two pitch.

661
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:24,000
Dente swings and hits the far ball into right center.

662
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Willie Mays going back. I'm going to close it down and makes the catch.

663
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Dente slides to Mays in center.

664
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:36,000
The fad is retired.

665
00:50:36,000 --> 00:50:42,000
Mays, evidently not realizing they were two out, turned and quickly threw into the infield.

666
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,000
The Indians in the second. No runs, one hit. One man left.

667
00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:54,000
And at the end of two, the score is New York 2-0.

668
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:03,000
The fourth game of the 1954 World Series, and Alton, the way things have started here in these first two innings, we could have a little bit of excitement.

669
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:10,000
We certainly could, particularly with the New York Giants having the door open for them in the second inning by Peravere.

670
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:23,000
After all, if it should be as tight from here on as it has been loose on the defense up until now, we could have a ball game that would cook along in the next inning this afternoon, couldn't we?

671
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:26,000
You mean part of one of those wild scoring jabs, huh?

672
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
That's right. I'm looking forward, aren't you?

673
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,000
Well, there's nothing the fans like better than a wide-open ball game.

674
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:39,000
And we certainly hope that you folks all around the world, the men at two, the men and women over three,

675
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:48,000
as I'm drawing now play by play over mutual and the rest of the stations all over the world, bringing you to the count of the 1954 World Series.

676
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:58,000
First from the Polo grounds in New York, now here at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland on the shores of Lake Erie.

677
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:10,000
In two innings, the Giants had two runs, they've made two hits, no errors. The Indians have no runs, one hit, and they have made two errors.

678
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:16,000
And now the first of the third, moving into the batter's box is number 25, Roddy Lockman.

679
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:30,000
He was up when Westrom was out at second. The hitting run was called, but Lockman missed the hit. Westrom was out easily, he didn't get it.

680
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:37,000
So lemon served in five pitches in the second inning. First one came here in the third is ball one, two low.

681
00:52:37,000 --> 00:52:48,000
Lockman was called out on strikes in the first inning. Here's the windup.

682
00:52:48,000 --> 00:53:03,000
The next pitch is one and the line drive is hit. Foul, down the left field line, landing on the track, rolling into the Giants' bullpen.

683
00:53:03,000 --> 00:53:09,000
Four umpires around the infield, two on the foul line, lying up.

684
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:17,000
Let's drive the left field foul line. Way down the right field foul line is Lon Wanakee.

685
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:26,000
Lemon is heading into the one and one, pitches fouled into the dead. Rolls back to the screen. The counters ball one and strike two.

686
00:53:26,000 --> 00:53:33,000
One and two counts.

687
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:44,000
The Giants, of course, looking for that fourth victory that would wrap up the World Series for this year.

688
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:53,000
Bob Lemon, Indian right-hander, versus Don Little, the Giant left-hander. Lemon okays the sign. The count is one and two.

689
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,000
The pitch is swung on the ground ball to the right side of the infield.

690
00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:01,000
Wirtz moves over to cover. Throws to Lemon at first base and Lockman is out.

691
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:11,000
Lockman grounding out. First baseman to pitch in. Three-one, Wirtz, three-Lemon.

692
00:54:11,000 --> 00:54:16,000
Every manager would like to have a Bob Lemon on the mound in every ball game.

693
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:20,000
Lemon is not only a pitcher, he is that fifth infielder.

694
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:27,000
He knows how to come off the hill to cover it first. Cover either left or right on the bunch.

695
00:54:27,000 --> 00:54:30,000
He knows that the batter is topped into the dead.

696
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,000
He can get you into a lot of trouble if you can't see the position.

697
00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Kerspick to Doc. He swings and hits the line drive into left field. A base hit.

698
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Hanging the old clothesline out there with a sharp single.

699
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:46,000
Doc has his fifth hit of the World Series. On first.

700
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:50,000
With one out and the batter is Don Mueller.

701
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:58,000
Mueller dropped a single into left center in the first inning with two outs.

702
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:07,000
They call them pop fly singles or bog and basement singles, but they all count just as big as the others.

703
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,000
Mueller is a left-hand batter, one of the real pros of the game.

704
00:55:12,000 --> 00:55:20,000
Runner on first. Alvin Doc. One out. First pitch to Mueller. Ball went inside.

705
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:25,000
Too close to the batter.

706
00:55:25,000 --> 00:55:29,000
Giant players. A lot of the writers around the league.

707
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Follow this for Don Mueller. Man breaks the magician.

708
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:36,000
He's a magician with that bat most of the time.

709
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:39,000
Runner up to maize for the batting crown.

710
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:42,000
He's down the next pitch and lines run into right fielder. Base hit. Doc makes the turn.

711
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:45,000
A second is going to third. Westlake's throw coming into the infield.

712
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:55,000
He fumbled the ball just briefly. The Doc is in it third easily.

713
00:55:55,000 --> 00:56:00,000
Runner down first and third and only one out.

714
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:11,000
The score is New York 2, Cleveland nothing.

715
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:16,000
So Mueller now has his second hit. A single this time into right.

716
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000
That is the fourth hit for the Giants.

717
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000
They really have their hitting clothes on in this series.

718
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:32,000
Going into today's game, the Giants as a team were batting 232 as compared to the Indian average of 196 for the

719
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,000
the ends of the World Series.

720
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,000
Willie Mays right hand batter is up.

721
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:40,000
Hakes ball went outside and low.

722
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:43,000
Activity on the Indian bullpen.

723
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Number 16, Hal Newhousey warming up.

724
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:57,000
Westlake fumbled that ball just briefly in right field but it had no bearing on the play.

725
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:59,000
One out. Next pitch.

726
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,000
Ball two outside. Another curve.

727
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,000
Mays is refusing.

728
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:08,000
This is the different Mays.

729
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:17,000
Train training. The first part of the year he was going for a lot of bad pitches but no more.

730
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:21,000
No strikes. Batter on deck is Henry Thompson.

731
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,000
Now Lemon comes up with a stretch.

732
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:27,000
The pitch is a strike. A curve ball. Broken the shot blade.

733
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:34,000
Mays started for it but changed his mind.

734
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Dark on third and Mueller is on first.

735
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:40,000
With only one out in the first half of third inning.

736
00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000
Outfielders are deep and around toward left for Willie Mays.

737
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Number 24.

738
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,000
The 2-1 pitch. He swings and bounces one over the third baseman's head.

739
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:49,000
Rolling down the line.

740
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:50,000
A one run score.

741
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
Here is Mueller racing around second going for third.

742
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:56,000
And Mays goes for two. In there standing up with a double.

743
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:02,000
A two base hit and the score is New York 3, Cleveland nothing.

744
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,000
The bounce went off the plate and bounced it over the third baseman's head.

745
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
Good for two bases.

746
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,000
That's his fourth hit of the series.

747
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
The third defending for the Giants and the fifth of the game.

748
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Only one out here in the first of the fourths.

749
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Mueller on third and Mays is on second.

750
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:28,000
They're going to flip Henry Thompson on.

751
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
An intentional pass for the Giants third baseman.

752
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:33,000
He walked his last time up.

753
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:46,000
This will load the bases and of course makes possible the fourth play at any base.

754
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,000
Unbatted end for Willie Mays.

755
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:52,000
There's ball three.

756
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,000
Monty Irvin is on deck.

757
00:58:55,000 --> 00:58:58,000
There's ball four to Thompson and the bases are loaded.

758
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,000
An intentional pass.

759
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,000
Irvin is going to do his own hitting here.

760
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,000
The Giants lead. He did nothing.

761
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Irvin is looking back toward the dugout.

762
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:18,000
I have a suspicion that a lot of the fans were expecting to see Mr. Desi Rhodes come out.

763
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:27,000
The manager Leo D'Orocha expressing confidence in his regular left fielder.

764
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,000
Irvin got off to a fine start the first part of the season.

765
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,000
It plumps a little bit.

766
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:36,000
First pitch for him is going inside a fastball.

767
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:48,000
He doubles hard into left center the first time up.

768
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:50,000
One out. The bases are loaded.

769
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:52,000
Newman walks into the winged up the pitch.

770
00:59:52,000 --> 00:59:54,000
Just swinging the miss just like one.

771
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,000
One and one to count.

772
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Out the open.

773
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Just about straight away.

774
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Dolby is pulled off center toward left.

775
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,000
A shade.

776
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:07,000
Right side of the infield.

777
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Good way in on the thin part of the infield.

778
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
Hoping of course for the double play.

779
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Mueller on third. Mays on second.

780
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:17,000
Thompson on first.

781
01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,000
The pitch is ball two outside.

782
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Ten one to count.

783
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:31,000
The Giants lead by a score of three to nothing.

784
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Batter on deck is Baby Williams.

785
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:41,000
Newman taking of his cap.

786
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:42,000
Tucks on the sign.

787
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:43,000
The count's two and one.

788
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000
Here's the pitch.

789
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:46,000
Fouled back into the stands.

790
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:48,000
Off to the right of the plate and the count is even up.

791
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Ball two and strike two.

792
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:58,000
Way in on lefty.

793
01:00:58,000 --> 01:00:59,000
Right-hander.

794
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:00,000
Rookie right-hander.

795
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:02,000
Cross ball out of.

796
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,000
Starts warming up.

797
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Alongside Hal Uhozard, the veteran left-hander.

798
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:18,000
And they've seen a lot of service in World Series play as a member of the Detroit Tigers.

799
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:19,000
There's the winged up.

800
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,000
The runners move out.

801
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:21,000
The 2-2 pitch.

802
01:01:21,000 --> 01:01:24,000
And a cloud into the dirt, rolls back of the plate.

803
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:28,000
The bat goes out to the shortstop position.

804
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:34,000
That slips out of Irvin's hand when flying to the left side of the infield.

805
01:01:34,000 --> 01:01:41,000
The count is still ball two and strike two.

806
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Herman Franks searching at third base, shouting down to Monty Irvin.

807
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:50,000
New ball is tossed into play.

808
01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Lemon in a tough spot, working very carefully.

809
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,000
Wheeler is on third.

810
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,000
Mays on second.

811
01:01:57,000 --> 01:01:59,000
Thompson on first.

812
01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:01,000
With only one out.

813
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:08,000
The count is ball two and strike two.

814
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:10,000
Ready on the sign.

815
01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:18,000
The wind up and the 2-2 pitch fouled back to the test bounce.

816
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:33,000
Fine catch by one of the television cameramen who has a glove, a baseball glove today.

817
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:44,000
There's a fellow that really came to play.

818
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:48,000
Ball two and strike two.

819
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:50,000
The next pitch is ball three inside.

820
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,000
Lemon tried to get that inside corner.

821
01:02:53,000 --> 01:03:05,000
3-2 was mighty close and the string is out.

822
01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,000
Now Monty Irvin backs out of there.

823
01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:11,000
It's a tense moment in the ball game for the fans.

824
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:15,000
And one for the batter, the base runners.

825
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:17,000
One out and they will be moving.

826
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,000
Here's the wind up and the big pitch.

827
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:21,000
A swing and a miss.

828
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:24,000
He's stuck in now.

829
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:26,000
Got him on a curve ball.

830
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,000
And that was the famed lemon slider.

831
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,000
They're two gone.

832
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Third strike out for Bob Lemon.

833
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,000
That one a mighty important one.

834
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:47,000
Still a rough little customer, Davy Williams stepping in.

835
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:51,000
The blonde kid from Texas out of Dallas.

836
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,000
Right hand batter.

837
01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,000
Takes ball one, a curve ball over but low.

838
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:58,000
Williams lined to the first baseman.

839
01:03:58,000 --> 01:04:04,000
Vic Wirtz his first time up.

840
01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:08,000
It's a very slick little field of this Davy Williams.

841
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:10,000
$65,000 purchase from Atlanta.

842
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:11,000
Swings on the next pitch.

843
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:12,000
A ground ball is hit to Rosen.

844
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:17,000
He takes it, races to the bag ahead of Willie Mays for the out that retires the side.

845
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,000
And Bob Lemon pulls out of it as Williams hits into a force play.

846
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Forcing Mays at third.

847
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:27,000
Rosen unassisted.

848
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:33,000
And for the Giants in the third inning, one run on a total of three hits.

849
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,000
They came in succession.

850
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,000
There was one walk.

851
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:39,000
No errors and three men left on the bases.

852
01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:45,000
Going into the last half of the third inning, the score is New York 3 Cleveland nothing.

853
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Say, would you like to hear from one of the greatest ball hawks going?

854
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Well, here's right fielder Jimmy Pearsall of the Boston Red Sox.

855
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:56,000
Who's spectacular leaping catches really leaves them gassing.

856
01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,000
Say, what brings you to Cleveland, Jim?

857
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:00,000
I'm a reporter, Jimmy.

858
01:05:00,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Covering a series for a Boston newspaper.

859
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:03,000
A reporter?

860
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:05,000
Well, man, I've got news for you.

861
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
You know, Boston is home base for Gillette.

862
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:10,000
You can report Gillette razors are selling like crazy.

863
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
And most of these fine looking young guys playing out here today use them too.

864
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,000
That's no news to me, Jimmy.

865
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
Most big leaguers go for Gillette shave.

866
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:21,000
They're fast, they're clean, and they sure give you a swell lift.

867
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Thanks a lot, Jim.

868
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:26,000
Say, how about giving that new Gillette super speed razor a try, man?

869
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:29,000
It's all in one piece for easy blade changing.

870
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:34,000
It costs you only a dollar, and the Gillette World Series record book is attached free.

871
01:05:34,000 --> 01:05:40,000
Going into the last half of the third inning, it was a real pleasure visiting with Jim Pearsall,

872
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,000
that fine ball hawk from up there in Boston.

873
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:50,000
Good old Fenway Pop was the scene of a lot of fine ball games this year.

874
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:52,000
Jim Hegan leading off.

875
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:58,000
The Indians now will try to get back in this ball game, trailing three to nothing.

876
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,000
Hegan, then the pitcher, and back to the top of the batting order.

877
01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:10,000
First pitch to Hegan is ball one outside and low.

878
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:17,000
The pitching performance by Lemon will give you some idea of why the experts call him one of the game's great competitors.

879
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:19,000
There's ball two inside.

880
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:24,000
Ball two, no strikes on Jim Hegan.

881
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:30,000
Little has struck out one man, giving up only one hit, a double to Vic Wirtz.

882
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:33,000
As yet to walk a batter.

883
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,000
The count ball to no strikes.

884
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:37,000
The outfielders are around toward left.

885
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
There's ball three, high and outside.

886
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:48,000
A shade, the count is three and nothing.

887
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:52,000
A few more standees have come in since the game started.

888
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:58,000
There'll be a bigger crowd than yesterday's.

889
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:03,000
Certainly gives you a great thrill to sit in with a big crowd watching a ball game.

890
01:07:03,000 --> 01:07:05,000
The players get a big boot out of it, too.

891
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,000
They like to play before the big houses.

892
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Here's the windup.

893
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:11,000
The three and nothing pitches a strike.

894
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:15,000
Better high right in there.

895
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:23,000
It's for sure this boy, Don Little, will not go too long without getting one in for a strike.

896
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:24,000
Three and one to count.

897
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:29,000
Hegan takes ball four outside.

898
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:33,000
A base on balls.

899
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:42,000
First walk, given up by Little, and Hegan becomes the second Indian base runner of the game.

900
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:48,000
That brings up Bob Lemon.

901
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:54,000
Henry Thompson, the guy in third baseman, and to talk with the pitcher, Don Little.

902
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:58,000
Helping to settle down.

903
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:03,000
Little, of course, knows he's facing a tough aggregation of ballplayers.

904
01:08:03,000 --> 01:08:07,000
A team that won 111 games to set a new American League record.

905
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:09,000
Lemon, left-hand batter.

906
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:13,000
Hicks ball one outside with a curve.

907
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:21,000
Lemon, through the years, has proved himself a pretty good hitting pitcher.

908
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,000
The Giants lead three to nothing.

909
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,000
Hegan leads off.

910
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:28,000
Nobody out.

911
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:29,000
The pitchers a strike.

912
01:08:29,000 --> 01:08:30,000
Fast ball.

913
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,000
Little high to the inside corner.

914
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:36,000
He'll take a bit off his fast ball occasionally.

915
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:39,000
One and one to count.

916
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:43,000
Batter on deck is Al Smith, the leadoff man.

917
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:47,000
Thompson, the third baseman, still expecting the bunters, in on the grass.

918
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Next pitch is strike two.

919
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Knee high.

920
01:08:51,000 --> 01:09:00,000
Count is ball one and strike two.

921
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Outfielders are straight away.

922
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:08,000
Hegan started it off with a walk.

923
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:11,000
Little checks his sign.

924
01:09:11,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Here's the stretch.

925
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,000
He'll look to the runner at first.

926
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:17,000
And the pitch is swung on and popped up to the left side of the infield.

927
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Alvind D'Arc takes charge.

928
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,000
He's under this one now, and he has it.

929
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:22,000
We're out number one.

930
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:33,000
One away.

931
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:36,000
That brings up the leadoff batter.

932
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Al Smith, number 32.

933
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,000
First time up with a count three and two.

934
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:50,000
He pops to the second baseman, Davy Williams.

935
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:54,000
Now the outfielders moving around toward left, deep in all fields.

936
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,000
Big hole open out in right center.

937
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000
First pitch, strike call.

938
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:05,000
Better high.

939
01:10:05,000 --> 01:10:08,000
Here's a fastball working to the outside corner.

940
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Strike one.

941
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Bobby Avila moves into the on-deck circle.

942
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,000
Off to the right of the plate.

943
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:19,000
Whitey Lockman holding at first base against Jim Hegan with the right-hand batter up.

944
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Next pitch is swung on.

945
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:22,000
A ground ball is to the third baseman.

946
01:10:22,000 --> 01:10:23,000
And nice stop by Thompson.

947
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:24,000
A throw to second.

948
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:25,000
One away.

949
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:27,000
Back to first at the double play.

950
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:29,000
Around the horn.

951
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:34,000
Hank Thompson moving to his left to spare that ball as it was heading into left field.

952
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,000
Of course, Hegan with a throw to Williams.

953
01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Williams' throw to first was in time for the double play.

954
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,000
For the Indians in the third, no runs, no hits.

955
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,000
Nothing across.

956
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:55,000
At the end of three, the score is New York three, Cleveland nothing.

957
01:10:55,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Thompson has come up with some great plays in this series.

958
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:30,000
He's played great baseball at third, taking care of some rough chances.

959
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:36,000
And there was a ball that would have gone by at many third basemen in the majors, into left field.

960
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,000
He stayed with it, caught it in the webbing of his glove.

961
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,000
Rifled his throw over to second.

962
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:46,000
Back to first, it was a double play.

963
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Now Lemon out taking his warm-up throws.

964
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:53,000
And the first man up for the Giants in the fourth inning will be Wes Westrom.

965
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:58,000
A giant catcher.

966
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Tony Cucinello is taking Lemon's warm-up throws.

967
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:10,000
Al Rosen, the third baseman, moves out on the grass right back to the pitcher.

968
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:14,000
Talking to his infielders.

969
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Denty of Elam and Wirtz.

970
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:21,000
Now here comes the Indian catcher Jim Hegan out.

971
01:12:21,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Takes a little time to get all that gear on.

972
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:31,000
The shin guards, the mask, and the chest protector.

973
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,000
Once around the infield and back to the pitcher on the mound with the ball.

974
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:47,000
And it's Wes Westrom leading off, number nine.

975
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:53,000
Westrom is having a fine world series for himself. Two RBIs, three hits.

976
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:58,000
Takes the strike, a curveball breaking to the outside corner.

977
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:05,000
It was safe at first on an error, charged to the right fielder, Wally Westlake, in the second inning.

978
01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Had a run batted in.

979
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Next pitch is fouled back into the upper deck, landing in the press box.

980
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:19,000
And the counter strike two, 0-2 on the batter.

981
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:25,000
In case some of you are still wondering about it, the official ruling on the fly ball by Westrom in the second inning

982
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:33,000
was a sacrifice fly and then an error charged to the right fielder, Westlake, who had the ball but dropped it.

983
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:37,000
Next pitch is wide of a plate, gets away from the catcher, back to the screen.

984
01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:45,000
Strike one and strike two.

985
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:49,000
The Giants have a total of five hits as against only one for the Indians.

986
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,000
The Giants have three runs.

987
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:56,000
An all-important baseball commodity.

988
01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Outfield is a round toward left.

989
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,000
The one and two pitch, a swing and a miss.

990
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:03,000
He struck him out.

991
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Westrom goes down swinging.

992
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:07,000
Strike out for Bob Lemon.

993
01:14:07,000 --> 01:14:11,000
Coming up is the pitcher, Don Little, while we're waiting for him.

994
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Let's pause ten seconds for station identification.

995
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:19,000
This is Mutual, the radio network for all America.

996
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:30,000
WGN, your exclusive World Series station in Chicago.

997
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:40,000
Number 37, Don Little stepping into the batter's box. He was called out on strikes in the second inning.

998
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
Lemon's first pitch.

999
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Ball one. Over but too low.

1000
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:51,000
Ball one to count.

1001
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:55,000
The fourth game of the 1954 World Series being played here at Cleveland.

1002
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:58,000
Next pitch to Little. He swings and hits it foul into the dirt.

1003
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Hit him on the foot, in fact.

1004
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,000
He reaches down to the end step.

1005
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Trying to shake it off.

1006
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:17,000
Those little foul tips can really hurt you.

1007
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:21,000
Count is even. Ball one and strike one.

1008
01:15:21,000 --> 01:15:25,000
One out and nobody on right now.

1009
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:33,000
Lead off batter, Whitey Loughman, swinging the bat in the on deck circle.

1010
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:37,000
Lemon chewing that gum a mile a minute.

1011
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Comes down to the next pitch, a strike call.

1012
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:45,000
Better high. Little step back from it.

1013
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:51,000
Ball one and strike two.

1014
01:15:51,000 --> 01:15:53,000
Here's the windup.

1015
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:56,000
The next pitch, just swinging the mitts. He struck him out.

1016
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:59,000
Little goes down swinging.

1017
01:15:59,000 --> 01:16:03,000
A total of five strikeouts for the Indian right-hander.

1018
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:08,000
And it brings up Whitey Loughman, who was a strikeout victim in the first inning.

1019
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:22,000
In the third inning he grounded out to the first baseman, Vic Wirtz.

1020
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Barry Dolby pulled off center toward right.

1021
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,000
Wally Westlake is deep and straight away.

1022
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:34,000
Someone okays the sign. The first pitch to Loughman. A strike it is to the outside corner waist-side.

1023
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Strike one and the count.

1024
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:45,000
Whitey Loughman still makes his home down in Charlotte, his native North Carolina.

1025
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
Next pitch, a line drive right back to them and he knocks it down, picks it up.

1026
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:55,000
Here's the total first in time. A fine recovery. Loughman is out. Pitcher the first.

1027
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:57,000
One-three.

1028
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Boy, that's one of those line drives. You throw up your glove and say a little prayer.

1029
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:10,000
The Giants go down in the fourth inning. No runs, no hits, nothing across.

1030
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:18,000
And going into the last half of the fourth inning, the score is New York 3, Cleveland nothing.

1031
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:23,000
I know plenty of you men swear by Gillette's three-piece razor. And more power to you.

1032
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:26,000
Sure, you're getting slick shaves, but here's news for you.

1033
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:30,000
Today's Gillette's super-speed razor gives you all that and then some.

1034
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:35,000
It's made in one piece, so you don't take it apart and put it together again when changing blades.

1035
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:39,000
All you do is twist the handle, hook on a blade, and twist again.

1036
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:44,000
Blade changing is that easy, and a quick rinse cleans the razor for your next shave.

1037
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:48,000
Then you get this wonderfully convenient razor for just one dollar.

1038
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:53,000
We've been telling you about the new and large Gillette World Series record book, too.

1039
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:55,000
Well, it's attached and it's free.

1040
01:17:55,000 --> 01:18:01,000
Better tie down your copy before the fast-moving supply is all gone.

1041
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:06,000
Last half of the fourth inning, and Don Little has finished his warm-up shows,

1042
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:13,000
ready to pitch to Bobby Avila, Indian second baseman.

1043
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:18,000
There's a more exciting atmosphere here at the ballpark in Cleveland today.

1044
01:18:18,000 --> 01:18:23,000
Maybe it's the weather. Maybe it's the fans calling for the underdogs,

1045
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:29,000
hoping to help the Indians to that first victory that will carry the series into more games.

1046
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:33,000
The Giants lead three games to nothing, and are ahead in this fourth game.

1047
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:36,000
The score right now, three to nothing.

1048
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:43,000
First pitch to Avila is a strike, right in there at the knees with a curveball.

1049
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:53,000
Watching this little left-hander, you know now why they call him the boy with pinpoint control.

1050
01:18:53,000 --> 01:19:00,000
Here's the windup. Next pitch, ball one, over but low. One and one to count.

1051
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:11,000
Avila laced into a pitch in the first inning, but lined it right to the second baseman, Davy Williams.

1052
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,000
Irvin, the left fielder, is deep and straight away.

1053
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:16,000
The one and one pitch is swung on and popped up.

1054
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:22,000
Back of second base, Alvin Doth, moving back onto the grass, is under it, and he has it.

1055
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:28,000
Out number one.

1056
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:34,000
Sort of looks like that Giants we've been talking about so often is following Bobby Avila.

1057
01:19:34,000 --> 01:19:39,000
Many batting champions have found it very rough when they did get into a World Series,

1058
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:45,000
and certainly Avila is. He's had only two hits.

1059
01:19:45,000 --> 01:19:49,000
Got one the first time up. Has had rough going since then.

1060
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:56,000
Larry Doby, the next batter, left-hand batter, takes ball one outside, a curveball breaking away from him.

1061
01:19:56,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Doby struck out his first time up in the first inning.

1062
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,000
Little's only strikeout thus far.

1063
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:06,000
Last to the fourth, one out and nobody on.

1064
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:10,000
Next pitch, Doby pulls it foul, off to the right.

1065
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Ball one and strike one. Even count.

1066
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Little has been in no trouble thus far.

1067
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
The Indians open the third with a base on balls, but after them it had popped out.

1068
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,000
Smith hit into a double play.

1069
01:20:28,000 --> 01:20:34,000
Wirtz doubled in the second inning for the only hit off the giant left-hander.

1070
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:38,000
The one-and-one pitch. Doby swings and hits a ground ball to the right side of the infield.

1071
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:42,000
Williams scoots over up with it, the throw to first, and Doby is out.

1072
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:49,000
Doby grounding out. Williams to Loughman, four-three.

1073
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:53,000
I don't know whether this series goes past four games, there's still anybody's guess.

1074
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:59,000
But you know something, back in 1887, under different rules, the series lasted fifteen games, believe it or not.

1075
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:04,000
You've got this and a raft of other dope in the Gillette World Series Record Book.

1076
01:21:04,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Right-handed for you.

1077
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Al Rosen steps in with two outs. Nobody on. He takes ball one high and outside.

1078
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:23,000
Last half of the fourth inning. The score is New York three, Cleveland nothing.

1079
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:26,000
Outfielders deep and around toward left.

1080
01:21:26,000 --> 01:21:29,000
Next pitch is swung on. The fly ball hits foul down the right-field line.

1081
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:34,000
It'll be in the stands, but out of play.

1082
01:21:34,000 --> 01:21:46,000
It's a long strike.

1083
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:54,000
Batter on deck is Vic Wirtz, the best of the only hit off Don Little.

1084
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,000
Rosen looking for hit number three in this series.

1085
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:04,000
There's the pitch. He swings, fouls, hits it into the catcher's glove for strike two.

1086
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Ball one, strike two to count.

1087
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,000
Willie Mays playing over in left center.

1088
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:19,000
Monty Irvin back to the edge of the track, straight away in left.

1089
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:25,000
Little rocks into the windup. The one and two pitch is ball two.

1090
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:40,000
Missed by a half. Two-two count.

1091
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,000
Rosen steps back into the batter's box.

1092
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:50,000
He uses the closed stance, front foot up close to the plate.

1093
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Then strides forward into the pitch.

1094
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:55,000
Here it is, swung on, a ground ball, a grass cutter.

1095
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:58,000
Hit to the shortstop. Donk is up with it. The total first in time.

1096
01:22:58,000 --> 01:23:01,000
Rosen is out, and the Indians light the dust.

1097
01:23:01,000 --> 01:23:06,000
One, two, three. No runs, no hits.

1098
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:11,000
And so at the end of pointing the score, the Giants have three runs on five hits.

1099
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:15,000
No errors. The Indians, no runs, one hit, and two errors.

1100
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:19,000
You know, folks, it may surprise you to know that every 20 seconds,

1101
01:23:19,000 --> 01:23:22,000
there's a fire somewhere in this great nation of ours.

1102
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:29,000
Every year, fires kill over 12,000 people and cause $800 million of property damage.

1103
01:23:29,000 --> 01:23:34,000
Now, to help prevent a fire in your home, why don't you try to observe these four rules?

1104
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Number one, don't smoke in bed or discard lighted cigarettes or matches carelessly.

1105
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:45,000
Number two, clean out old newspapers, mattresses, broken furniture, and other flammable materials.

1106
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Number three, promptly repair defective electrical equipment.

1107
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:51,000
Replace worn or frayed wiring.

1108
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:54,000
And number four, use cleaning fluids that won't burn.

1109
01:23:54,000 --> 01:24:05,000
In other words, don't gamble with fire. The odds are against you.

1110
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,000
Bit of excitement down to our left here.

1111
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Some of the folks peering into the giant dugout, trying to get a look at the boys.

1112
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:19,000
And of course, folks wanting to see what notables are around them, and there are a lot of them here.

1113
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:29,000
From everywhere, movie stars, stars of radio and television, notables in public life.

1114
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:34,000
Out on the field, the two championship teams, champions of the National League, the New York Giants,

1115
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:37,000
champions of the American League, the Cleveland Indians.

1116
01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:42,000
The fourth game, the Giants taking the first three games.

1117
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:45,000
This one, they could lock it up.

1118
01:24:45,000 --> 01:24:47,000
They lead by a score of three to nothing.

1119
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:51,000
And Bob Lemon is ready to work now as Alvin Dock steps into the batter's box.

1120
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Dock has one out of two in this game.

1121
01:24:53,000 --> 01:25:01,000
Fouls the first pitch back into the screen, strike one.

1122
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,000
The Dock is doing all right.

1123
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:08,000
He now has five hits in the 54 World Series.

1124
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,000
This is his 16th World Series game.

1125
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Next pitch is too low.

1126
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:18,000
Ball one, one and one. The count is even up.

1127
01:25:18,000 --> 01:25:21,000
Giants got two in the second.

1128
01:25:21,000 --> 01:25:25,000
Loose Indian play. Added one in the third to lead three to nothing.

1129
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:28,000
Next pitch, Dock swings and hits a fireball going out into left center.

1130
01:25:28,000 --> 01:25:34,000
It's going to drop in there for a base hit.

1131
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:42,000
He's single for Alvin Dock as he drops one into left center.

1132
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Those are the ones the boys kid you about in the clubhouse.

1133
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:54,000
Come on and say, what are you hitting with, a bamboo stick?

1134
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:57,000
Banjo, Red Creston's favorite expression.

1135
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,000
What are you batting with? What are you hitting with?

1136
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:04,000
Sporting nudes?

1137
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:07,000
Don Mueller is up. A left hand batter with the runner on first.

1138
01:26:07,000 --> 01:26:10,000
Nobody out.

1139
01:26:10,000 --> 01:26:14,000
A pitch out called for, but Dock is holding it first.

1140
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Two pitches again warming up in the Indian bulk then. Left hand to Hal Neuhauser.

1141
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:24,000
Right hand to Ray Nalesky.

1142
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Outfield straight away for Mueller.

1143
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:28,000
He has two for two.

1144
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,000
Devin checks the runner.

1145
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,000
The pitch is swung and there's a line drive hit into right field for base hit.

1146
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,000
Dock races to second, makes the turn.

1147
01:26:34,000 --> 01:26:37,000
West leg is up with the ball. The throw over the third is cut off by Dentie.

1148
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Mueller holding it first.

1149
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,000
There's that man Mueller coming through with his third straight hit.

1150
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:56,000
The Giants now have a total of seven.

1151
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:59,000
This was the set up we had in the third inning.

1152
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:01,000
Dock single into left.

1153
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:05,000
Mueller moved into third with a single into right.

1154
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:09,000
Nobody out and the batter is Willie Mays.

1155
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:15,000
In the third inning they did have one out.

1156
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:18,000
Mays doubled his last time up.

1157
01:27:18,000 --> 01:27:21,000
Infield back in normal position.

1158
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:24,000
Mueller leads off first. Dock on third.

1159
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:29,000
The pitch to Mays is ball one outside and low.

1160
01:27:29,000 --> 01:27:33,000
Mueller now has seven hits in the series.

1161
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:37,000
That ties in with big work.

1162
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,000
Here's the stretch by Lemon.

1163
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:48,000
The pitch is too low for ball two. Two in no count.

1164
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Three straight hits so that's a fine performance.

1165
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Last two have been dropped singles into right field.

1166
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:02,000
Hitting behind that runner moving away from first.

1167
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:05,000
That's the reason the runs had left deep in all fields for Mays.

1168
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:07,000
And he can hit the all field.

1169
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,000
The turn up in pitch.

1170
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:10,000
Gouled off into the stands back of first.

1171
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,000
He was trying to hit the right field.

1172
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:14,000
He moved up on the pitch.

1173
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,000
The count is now two and one.

1174
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:26,000
Ball two, strike one to count.

1175
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Seven hits for the Giants as against one for the Indians.

1176
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:33,000
The Giants have hit safely in every inning except the fourth.

1177
01:28:33,000 --> 01:28:39,000
Lemon retired the minota.

1178
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:44,000
That's the only time that he has been able to do it.

1179
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:46,000
The Giants had three hits in the third inning.

1180
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,000
We had a like situation.

1181
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,000
That's what we have now.

1182
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:55,000
The two on pitch fouled back to the screen.

1183
01:28:55,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Ball two and strike two.

1184
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:04,000
Mays in the first inning fouled out to the first baseman work.

1185
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:14,000
But in the third he bounced a double over Rosenfeld down the left field corner.

1186
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:18,000
Right now he's trying for a base hit or a fly ball.

1187
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Sacrifice fly that would bring a run home.

1188
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,000
Rock on third.

1189
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:26,000
Mueller on first.

1190
01:29:26,000 --> 01:29:29,000
Rock in yesterday's game showed us a brilliant bit of base running.

1191
01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:35,000
And he trapped the team third and home allowing runners to move up to second third before he was tagged out.

1192
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,000
The two to pick is low into the deck.

1193
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Good stop by Jim Hegan to avoid trouble.

1194
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,000
And the string is out.

1195
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:47,000
Full count of three and two.

1196
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:51,000
Semmon tosses the ball into the umpire who wants to look it over.

1197
01:29:51,000 --> 01:30:03,000
Umpire John Sheevan of the American League umpiring staff.

1198
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:08,000
Long with the other American League umpires under Kyle Hubbard all season long.

1199
01:30:08,000 --> 01:30:12,000
He did a great job of calling 154 games.

1200
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:18,000
In the case of the Indians, 156 they played two tie games.

1201
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:21,000
Count three and two. Here's the stretch. Semmon checks to the runner first.

1202
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:24,000
The pick fouled back into the stand.

1203
01:30:24,000 --> 01:30:28,000
Count remains three and two.

1204
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:30,000
This is the first of the fifth.

1205
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:37,000
With the Giants leading by a score of three to nothing.

1206
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:40,000
They scrambled for the first two games in New York.

1207
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Won yesterday's game easily.

1208
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:46,000
And came out slugging in this one.

1209
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:50,000
Time is called. A ball gets away from Bill Lobey,

1210
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:59,000
Indian captain coach who is working with Ray Narleski down in the bullpen.

1211
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:03,000
Lobey has been with the Indians for 25 years. He and Mo Harder,

1212
01:31:03,000 --> 01:31:12,000
two of the men who have been around the Indians and Cleveland baseball picture for a long time.

1213
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:16,000
New York is on third. He led off with a single. Mueller on third. He singled in the right.

1214
01:31:16,000 --> 01:31:19,000
The third, go here. Nobody else.

1215
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:21,000
Semmon has his time.

1216
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:23,000
There's the pitch.

1217
01:31:23,000 --> 01:31:26,000
Ball four, up side and low with a curve. He walks in.

1218
01:31:26,000 --> 01:31:29,000
And the bases are loaded. Here comes our locals.

1219
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:34,000
The manager out of the Indian dugout.

1220
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:40,000
Henry Thompson is the batter.

1221
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:45,000
And Thompson, now on deck, has walked five times.

1222
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:57,000
Three of them were intentional walks and he has scored five times.

1223
01:31:57,000 --> 01:32:02,000
The pitcher being called in by our locals is Hal Neuhaezer.

1224
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:12,000
The change left-hander, Tommy Rupsey, the short-tiger, being called into the game to fix to Henry Thompson.

1225
01:32:12,000 --> 01:32:15,000
We're talking about Thompson's bases on balls. He has walked six times.

1226
01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:23,000
The last time up he got an intentional pass, remember?

1227
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:25,000
So that is us to Bob Lemmon.

1228
01:32:25,000 --> 01:32:29,000
Leaving the game now.

1229
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:35,000
He has worked four innings, nobody out.

1230
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:41,000
Lemmon used 74 pitches in working four and the fashion innings,

1231
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:46,000
now he gets no credit for more than the four innings and for an in-out, the bases are loaded.

1232
01:32:46,000 --> 01:32:56,000
To give up a total of seven hits.

1233
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:04,000
He walks three men, cuts out five, and has allowed three runs and is leaving the bases loaded.

1234
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:10,000
If any or all of these men score, they will be charged to him.

1235
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:17,000
And on the other side of the pitcher, the giant left-hander, John Little, wasn't given up a run yet, only one hit.

1236
01:33:17,000 --> 01:33:23,000
Here back in 1905, Christian Matheson, hit three shutouts in one World Series.

1237
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:28,000
You're going to get worse without your fingertips in the Gillette World Series record books.

1238
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:34,000
Al Neuhauser, left-hander.

1239
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:38,000
And the first man to face him would be left-hand batter Henry Thompson.

1240
01:33:38,000 --> 01:33:42,000
He's walked twice and scored one.

1241
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:46,000
The bases are loaded.

1242
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:53,000
Pitchers by one high and inside.

1243
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:59,000
He proved to be a very valuable asset to the Indians in 1944 during the regular season.

1244
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:07,000
He appeared in 26 ball games.

1245
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:10,000
He won seven and lost two.

1246
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:18,000
The next pitch, the base strike with a pair of letter highs to the left-hander and batter Henry Thompson.

1247
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:25,000
Neuhauser, about an 8-1 average of 2.51.

1248
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:36,000
In 1945, he took from the World Series as a member of the Detroit Tigers, working three games, one two and lost one.

1249
01:34:36,000 --> 01:34:40,000
The one-and-one pitchers, no under the desk, good pick-up by Jim Hedon.

1250
01:34:40,000 --> 01:34:45,000
The bases are loaded.

1251
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:48,000
Nobody out for the dance in the first half of the fifth inning.

1252
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:56,000
The score is New York 3, three to nothing.

1253
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:04,000
Neuhauser's shot from the play.

1254
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:07,000
Neuhauser will come on with the microphone shortly.

1255
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:09,000
We'll remember that 1945 series.

1256
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:10,000
He did it.

1257
01:35:10,000 --> 01:35:19,000
The next pitch is ball three, outspout and low, and Neuhauser is in a block of trouble.

1258
01:35:19,000 --> 01:35:20,000
The bases are loaded.

1259
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:24,000
No place to put this runner unless he won a left-hander and scored.

1260
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:26,000
That's what will happen if he walks in.

1261
01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:27,000
Here's the windup.

1262
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:30,000
The 3-1 pitch bowed back to the screen.

1263
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:36,000
Thompson was swinging on that 3-1.

1264
01:35:36,000 --> 01:35:39,000
The swing is out, four-counter, three and two.

1265
01:35:39,000 --> 01:35:55,000
It's back on third, Neuhauser on second, and Neuhauser on first.

1266
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:57,000
Neuhauser tightens the cap on his head with his left hand.

1267
01:35:57,000 --> 01:35:58,000
Here's the windup.

1268
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,000
The pitcher puts his ball for a high-hand inside.

1269
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:05,000
Failed to break that curve, and the course is in the run.

1270
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:06,000
The bases are still loaded.

1271
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:12,000
Still nobody out, and the Giants now lead by a score of 40-nothing.

1272
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:20,000
Run batted in for Thompson and his third walk in today's game.

1273
01:36:20,000 --> 01:36:24,000
That brings up the right-hand batter, Monty Irvin.

1274
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:33,000
First pitch to Irvin is bow-one-two high.

1275
01:36:33,000 --> 01:36:43,000
The run scored there by having bow to charge against Bob Lemon.

1276
01:36:43,000 --> 01:36:47,000
Giants lead 40-nothing.

1277
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:52,000
Neuhauser checks his hand, moves the windup, and the pitch fouled out.

1278
01:36:52,000 --> 01:37:04,000
They go out of the plate, going back into the stands.

1279
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:11,000
One-and-one the count.

1280
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:17,000
Now we'll have Neuhauser on third, Neuhauser on second, Thompson on first.

1281
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:18,000
Fast man on the bases.

1282
01:37:18,000 --> 01:37:21,000
The next pitch is a strike to the inside corner.

1283
01:37:21,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Irvin pulled out of the way.

1284
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:30,000
It is now bow-one and strike two.

1285
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:32,000
Batter on deck is Ovi Williams.

1286
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:36,000
Irvin opened up twice, a double in the second inning.

1287
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:37,000
He struck out in the third.

1288
01:37:37,000 --> 01:37:40,000
The count, bow-one and strike two.

1289
01:37:40,000 --> 01:37:42,000
Neuhauser rocks into the windup.

1290
01:37:42,000 --> 01:37:45,000
The pitch is high for bow-two, two-and-two count.

1291
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:49,000
Try to get a fast ball in there.

1292
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:54,000
Neuhauser, he really had a quicker of a fast ball.

1293
01:37:54,000 --> 01:38:01,000
He was a pitcher that really blown by a batter.

1294
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:02,000
All right, the pitcher picks.

1295
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:04,000
Irvin claims and wraps one into that field.

1296
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:05,000
A base hit.

1297
01:38:05,000 --> 01:38:06,000
He looks for a good move.

1298
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:07,000
He's raising the round for it.

1299
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:08,000
He comes down to score.

1300
01:38:08,000 --> 01:38:12,000
The throw by Alton is under the wind to loose that.

1301
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:13,000
Thompson at second.

1302
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:17,000
And here comes Al Lopez out of the Indian dugout.

1303
01:38:17,000 --> 01:38:25,000
As two runs come home, a single in the left for Marty Irvin and the Giants lead by a score of six to nothing.

1304
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,000
Two runs batted in by the Giants left fielder.

1305
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,000
He started today's game with a zero batting effort.

1306
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:39,000
Now has two hits and two runs batted in.

1307
01:38:39,000 --> 01:38:42,000
All three of these runs that are scored are charged to Bob Lemon.

1308
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:47,000
So he has given a fixed run in the four innings that he worked.

1309
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:51,000
The Giants lead fixed to nothing, and that is going to be all for Al Neuhauser.

1310
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:56,000
Ray Narlaski, a right-hander, is being called into the game.

1311
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:03,000
Runners on first and second with nobody out.

1312
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:08,000
So Neuhauser had a brief play on the mound.

1313
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:11,000
The Kings are just two men.

1314
01:39:11,000 --> 01:39:17,000
The Giants lead with no innings, nobody out.

1315
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:20,000
They'll have one hook, one man.

1316
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:31,000
And while he was allowed no runs of drop, to be the lead for them in score, they will be charged to him.

1317
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Ray Narlaski, the hard-nosed rookie, right-hander, coming on.

1318
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:43,000
He earned him 89 innings during the regular season.

1319
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:53,000
Now that's the first with a fine earned one average of 2.22, charging us 52 batting.

1320
01:39:53,000 --> 01:40:02,000
Taking his warm-up pose now.

1321
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:07,000
Ray Narlaski, like all youngsters, wanted to be a starting pitcher.

1322
01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:20,000
Down at Indianapolis in the American Association last year, Teddy Kovitz, then manager of that ball club, and Ted Wilk, a pitching coach, also on the roster during the season, last season,

1323
01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:27,000
Wilk was then discussed it and recommended that he take over relief pitching for us.

1324
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:35,000
And under their tutelage and encouragement, Narlaski came on to be one of the fan relief artists of the American Association.

1325
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:43,000
And they did during the Indianapolis Spring training of this year.

1326
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:46,000
Runners were on first and second with nobody out.

1327
01:40:46,000 --> 01:40:50,000
Three runs are home for the Giants. They lead by a score of 6-0.

1328
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:52,000
First half of the fifth inning.

1329
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:55,000
Stepping into the batter's box is Jody Williams.

1330
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,000
He goes for two.

1331
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:13,000
He hits the first pitch foul down the first base line out of place, like one.

1332
01:41:13,000 --> 01:41:18,000
Thompson on second. Monty Irvin on first.

1333
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:22,000
So Irvin is a much happier boy right now than he was before today's game.

1334
01:41:22,000 --> 01:41:27,000
John Hickness in the first three games lifted for a 10-20.

1335
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:34,000
Next pitch into Williams is Bowen inside. He was going to bounce back about out of the way.

1336
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:38,000
Even up front, Bowen in second.

1337
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:43,000
Williams, ever alert, back of the post, boom up over the plate, but the runners were holding.

1338
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:46,000
Thompson on second. Irvin on first.

1339
01:41:46,000 --> 01:41:52,000
The refs will lose it. Round toward left.

1340
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:57,000
Batter on deck is Russ Weston.

1341
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:59,000
Now let's take the stretch.

1342
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:01,000
The Putschman has the bounce. Puts down the first base line.

1343
01:42:01,000 --> 01:42:03,000
West is up with a 10-megapixel second.

1344
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:08,000
A third post to Putschman. Williams is out on the sacrifice.

1345
01:42:08,000 --> 01:42:18,000
The runners on second and third went out, and the batter is Weston.

1346
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:22,000
Sacrifice for Williams. He goes out.

1347
01:42:22,000 --> 01:42:24,000
And the ref is just going.

1348
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:29,000
3-4, first baseman to second baseman covering the post.

1349
01:42:29,000 --> 01:42:33,000
The Weston. Now steps into the batter's box. The infielder's in place.

1350
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:43,000
First pitch is by one, too low.

1351
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:47,000
Thompson on third. Irvin on second.

1352
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,000
Andrew Lindsay at in-place.

1353
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:52,000
The next pitch is done on a far ball going into shot right center.

1354
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:54,000
Weston closing their own movement.

1355
01:42:54,000 --> 01:42:56,000
He's under now the runner third.

1356
01:42:56,000 --> 01:42:59,000
The first coming in throws the runner in too late is the throw.

1357
01:42:59,000 --> 01:43:00,000
Irvin moves to third.

1358
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:03,000
On the third of the plate is Thompson's third.

1359
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:11,000
Sacrifice for Weston, his second one today, and his second one batted in in today's game.

1360
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:17,000
Thompson's third, the first grand run of the inning.

1361
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:21,000
They lead now by a score of 7-0.

1362
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:26,000
On the third of the plate by Weston, Irvin moves to third base.

1363
01:43:26,000 --> 01:43:38,000
They're two away and the pitcher down little is coming up.

1364
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:41,000
The Weston now has three runs batted in this game.

1365
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:49,000
Little left-hand batter swings and misses. Take one, the first pitch is in.

1366
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:53,000
Three runs in this inning, a charge to Lemon and one to New Yorkers.

1367
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:56,000
Looks like swing on a ground ball to the right side of the wimpy.

1368
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,000
The real charge is a batter with a plenty of time.

1369
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:06,000
The fellow person living his life as bad as he's had.

1370
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:08,000
Down they're kicking into the ground.

1371
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:10,000
Big better here.

1372
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:19,000
Four runs and a total of three hits and one man left on the base.

1373
01:44:19,000 --> 01:44:22,000
There are a few walks in there.

1374
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:28,000
Coming into the last half of the season, he destroys New York's seven Cleveland Nets.

1375
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:33,000
Hey, man, there's something really special about a shaving cream field with today's

1376
01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:35,000
alert super speed laser.

1377
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:39,000
Listen, it's clean. Just as clean as a shave possibly can be.

1378
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,000
And looks good for a long time, too.

1379
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:44,000
Yes, and it's wonderfully refreshing.

1380
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:47,000
Better give your lips when you're trying to get started in the morning

1381
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:49,000
or keep going in the evening.

1382
01:44:49,000 --> 01:44:52,000
If you're not using this up to the minute, one to three minutes,

1383
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,000
then you're passing up a mighty good thing.

1384
01:44:54,000 --> 01:44:57,000
The clean blades in their jiffy.

1385
01:44:57,000 --> 01:44:58,000
A quick rinse, clean it.

1386
01:44:58,000 --> 01:45:01,000
There you save time and you save batter.

1387
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:03,000
Be sure to ask for a deluxe super speed laser.

1388
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:07,000
This three-blade, the concern travel kit is just one dollar.

1389
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:12,000
A tax is a free copy of the handy Deluxe World Series record book.

1390
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:13,000
So you better get yours right away.

1391
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:17,000
That's a plow. It won't last for long.

1392
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:20,000
Going into the last round for the fifth inning where at Cleveland's Municipal Stadium,

1393
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:22,000
the brand-new seven to nothing.

1394
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:26,000
And now taking over the microphone to tie on in this bargain over neutral

1395
01:45:26,000 --> 01:45:29,000
and facing all over the world is Al Helfer.

1396
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:30,000
Al, come on in.

1397
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:32,000
How about Jimmy? It's been rough.

1398
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:35,000
Four and one half an inch so far as far as the three and the Indians are concerned.

1399
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:37,000
The Indians are eating in seven to nothing.

1400
01:45:37,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Only one here having been surrendered here by Brown Middle.

1401
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:41,000
The left-handed delivers now.

1402
01:45:41,000 --> 01:45:44,000
The Vick was the swinger and there's a high five ball hitting the straightaway center field.

1403
01:45:44,000 --> 01:45:50,000
And the north-hundred makes the catch and we have outnumbered runs in the last half of the number five.

1404
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:55,000
And before Wally Westlake comes up to the plate, let's pause for a 10-second full-station identification.

1405
01:45:55,000 --> 01:46:00,000
This is Newt Road, the radio network for all America.

1406
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:10,000
Seven to nothing, the Congress of the Indian State serving the Midwest.

1407
01:46:10,000 --> 01:46:15,000
The plate steps to Wally Westlake. The big right hand here to take the first pitch, fired in there by Liddy.

1408
01:46:15,000 --> 01:46:17,000
It blows a big one.

1409
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:20,000
Westlake came up in the second and he hit first time after the play today

1410
01:46:20,000 --> 01:46:43,000
and the left side being thrown out by Sharks, Swab, Alvin, Vance.

1411
01:46:43,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Westlake after the next pitch, cuts a high five ball after the right of the screen, coming back by the spectators and into the side.

1412
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:56,000
Great throw on Wally. One ball and two strikes.

1413
01:46:56,000 --> 01:47:05,000
We were talking yesterday about a team that had won three games in the World Series.

1414
01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:08,000
They'd won three games, they hadn't gone on to lose it.

1415
01:47:08,000 --> 01:47:13,000
And there's several guys that come around to say that that was so.

1416
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:15,000
We'll tell you why it isn't in a moment.

1417
01:47:15,000 --> 01:47:19,000
Two balls to the other Westlake to swing on. There's a half-up up off the first base line.

1418
01:47:19,000 --> 01:47:30,000
They're just in foul territory outside of first. The catch is made by Westlake and Wally left.

1419
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:33,000
The better now is Sam Gendry. The set-up.

1420
01:47:33,000 --> 01:47:36,000
The wind is coming up in the second. The wind goes really nice back in the center field.

1421
01:47:36,000 --> 01:47:40,000
It's a good round-tile ball. Good play on it for both sides.

1422
01:47:40,000 --> 01:47:47,000
We said the first team had overlapped three ball games and then come back to win.

1423
01:47:47,000 --> 01:47:49,000
That's the first three.

1424
01:47:49,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Well, some of the fans around the center said it's first in the 1925 World Series.

1425
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:57,000
It's held between Washington and Pittsburgh.

1426
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:00,000
The first pitch for Gendry is World Football 1.

1427
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:08,000
But it's, you'll go back to the World Series record books published by the Lefty of Congress through the period.

1428
01:48:08,000 --> 01:48:10,000
Westlake swing under them far back to the back.

1429
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:13,000
The count is running out.

1430
01:48:13,000 --> 01:48:18,000
In that World Series, Pittsburgh took the second ball game.

1431
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:28,000
All-rigged beating Kovaleski.

1432
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Now they're set.

1433
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:32,000
Time comes to pitch. Gendry swings on it.

1434
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:34,000
He can never have a looping foul ball after the right of the play.

1435
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:37,000
The swings are back into the freshman side of the field.

1436
01:48:37,000 --> 01:48:39,000
Down and for Gendry, his rim ball two strikes two down.

1437
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:41,000
Last half of the first inning, nobody on for Cleveland.

1438
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:45,000
Then the score is down to New York 7 and Cleveland's nothing.

1439
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:49,000
Don Little, not a surprise starter, but certainly a surprise to the Indians.

1440
01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:52,000
The way he was hit here this afternoon has given up on a one-day hit.

1441
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:54,000
That's an awkward sort of double.

1442
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:57,000
As Jimmy tells you in his second inning, he's hit in the alley in right turn of field.

1443
01:48:57,000 --> 01:48:59,000
All the way back to the fence.

1444
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:02,000
That's the only day's blowout, Don Little.

1445
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:04,000
The left-hander twists, hits and throws.

1446
01:49:04,000 --> 01:49:08,000
That's a curve to Gendry, and it stays outside. That's all two.

1447
01:49:08,000 --> 01:49:12,000
Two balls and two strikes.

1448
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:15,000
If I remember right, there was a score in that second game of the World Series in 1925.

1449
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:16,000
That's a curve to Washington.

1450
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:21,000
The score is three in favor of that third.

1451
01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:23,000
The big deep end was a bit too much of an interesting time.

1452
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:24,000
It was all-rigged to Kovaleski.

1453
01:49:24,000 --> 01:49:26,000
The put the swing on by Gendry, a bounding ball off the plate.

1454
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:27,000
Down first base to Joe.

1455
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:28,000
There it is.

1456
01:49:28,000 --> 01:49:33,000
Little trying to cover a first base taking the cross from Yadie Loughlin, and it's not in time.

1457
01:49:33,000 --> 01:49:36,000
Where did the forecourt look at that?

1458
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:37,000
We'll go on a minute.

1459
01:49:37,000 --> 01:49:41,000
Whether it's going to go as an error or a base hit.

1460
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:45,000
Waiting for the officials for her to give us a verdict.

1461
01:49:45,000 --> 01:49:51,000
It's going to be an error, but for him, is there a charge on the throw or is it a charge on the pitcher?

1462
01:49:51,000 --> 01:49:57,000
It's a charge apparently on the throw.

1463
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:58,000
It's not done the pitcher.

1464
01:49:58,000 --> 01:50:00,000
Thank you very much, Mr. Jones.

1465
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:05,000
Now, down the pitcher, there's Sam Gunter as the winner of first base.

1466
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:10,000
Don Hewley, failing to cut first base as he took one of the rocks and flew.

1467
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:16,000
Well, we have the first guy there here this afternoon, charge at the pitcher middle.

1468
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,000
Now, little is going to pitch to Jim Hegan.

1469
01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:22,000
He dies and Jim takes a lot of cold ball from there for a start.

1470
01:50:22,000 --> 01:50:24,000
He was a little early on the board, Dad.

1471
01:50:24,000 --> 01:50:28,000
Don Hewley is known as a shot-off in front pitcher.

1472
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:34,000
And he does a lot of his pitching low, right down to the knees.

1473
01:50:34,000 --> 01:50:35,000
Now, it's up to the pitcher.

1474
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:38,000
He can swing on it and loses it back a second.

1475
01:50:38,000 --> 01:50:41,000
There is David Williams over there, caught it to the ball and all hands are safe.

1476
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:45,000
They made a nice knockdown but couldn't come up with it.

1477
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,000
They couldn't come up with the ball.

1478
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:51,000
So, the Indians have winners at first and second.

1479
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:56,000
And now, once again, we go to Mr. McCullough, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Comenco to see what they've decided on this play.

1480
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:58,000
It's a hard smash back to second base.

1481
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:04,000
David Williams over knocked it down, made a nice play of it, and he was being charged with the air.

1482
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:13,000
As when he tried to pull the ball out of his glove, connected flow, he got it on the wind field.

1483
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:16,000
So, Hans Magresti comes up now to bat for Naileski.

1484
01:51:16,000 --> 01:51:20,000
Magresti batting for Naileski, who went winning here this afternoon.

1485
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:28,000
Then Magresti comes up to bat.

1486
01:51:28,000 --> 01:51:32,000
The Indians are trying to make a little hay here while the Sun's trying down the Nistle Stadium.

1487
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:40,000
And here in the last half of the first inning, up comes Magresti, Hans Magresti to bat for Pitcher Lillian Naileski.

1488
01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:48,000
That means we'll have the fourth pitcher in for the Cougar Indians.

1489
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:54,000
Magresti who played yesterday, coming up to the third right now.

1490
01:51:54,000 --> 01:51:57,000
He has no batting for second. He is 0-5 in the third game.

1491
01:51:57,000 --> 01:52:00,000
Swings on the first pitch and fires it back to the screen.

1492
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:03,000
Looks like that.

1493
01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:05,000
Down the bullpen.

1494
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:07,000
Got a left hander, John Murphy, warming up.

1495
01:52:07,000 --> 01:52:09,000
Looks like there'll be a few coming on.

1496
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:14,000
The first game, they drop out for second for third.

1497
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:24,000
Two errors. The two down here in the last half of the first inning have given the Redmond Indians the best opportunity of the entire day.

1498
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:30,000
One error tried to Pitcher Lillian, the other one tried to the second baseman, Williams.

1499
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,000
Now the Indians are both delivers.

1500
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:34,000
Magresti swings, hits a long drive deep in the left field.

1501
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,000
There's a pretty well-hit ball.

1502
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:46,000
It's a home run for Magresti.

1503
01:53:06,000 --> 01:53:18,000
And this it is, the oldest eligible player here in this World Series.

1504
01:53:18,000 --> 01:53:24,000
Hank Magresti comes running off the bench and puts Cleveland back into the ball game with a 3-1 home run.

1505
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,000
It's now 7-4 over the Giants.

1506
01:53:26,000 --> 01:53:28,000
A guy Smith steps up here for the Cougar Indians.

1507
01:53:28,000 --> 01:53:32,000
The two down in the base of the front. He takes the first pitch low for ball one.

1508
01:53:32,000 --> 01:53:35,000
A hard smash by Hank Magresti.

1509
01:53:35,000 --> 01:53:38,000
That'll be the third home run for Cleveland in the series.

1510
01:53:38,000 --> 01:53:41,000
The pitch to play is taken high and off the shoulder by Smith.

1511
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,000
That's our two.

1512
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:47,000
And we have double-barred activity down in the bullpen for the New York Giants.

1513
01:53:47,000 --> 01:53:49,000
We've got a right-hander up there for him.

1514
01:53:49,000 --> 01:53:51,000
We'll have a left-hander in a moment.

1515
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:52,000
Brown Ridders.

1516
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:55,000
He's almost invincible up until his fifth inning.

1517
01:53:55,000 --> 01:53:56,000
And certainly he has been cut.

1518
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:58,000
Two errors, of course.

1519
01:53:58,000 --> 01:54:00,000
Open the door.

1520
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,000
These ones will not be earned.

1521
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:05,000
And Hank Magresti is not in here in the first inning or not to be earned.

1522
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:07,000
Brown comes to pitch to Smith to throw.

1523
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:10,000
That's the first pitch.

1524
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:13,000
So we've had two 3-1 home runs in this world series.

1525
01:54:13,000 --> 01:54:16,000
One by Dr. Yorke, who was down from the first game.

1526
01:54:16,000 --> 01:54:18,000
And here's Magresti this afternoon.

1527
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:20,000
I'd like to find the fouls he threw.

1528
01:54:20,000 --> 01:54:23,000
Minister Shademan-Cubans with a 3-1 home run.

1529
01:54:23,000 --> 01:54:26,000
Cranked over the left field barrier.

1530
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:29,000
Not even went high and couldn't make the catch.

1531
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:34,000
The left field bar was hit about 380 feet from home play.

1532
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:37,000
The house-maker was hit one of the home runs for Cleveland in this series.

1533
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:38,000
He's up at the plate now.

1534
01:54:38,000 --> 01:54:40,000
The three-yard pitch is going to go fast.

1535
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:46,000
Lady North is straight.

1536
01:54:46,000 --> 01:54:48,000
They look to stand for opportunity.

1537
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:51,000
Rapidly running through the man-net for the hourglass of time.

1538
01:54:51,000 --> 01:54:58,000
Cleveland is trying to do something about it.

1539
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:00,000
The pitcher puts the plate, there's the fastball.

1540
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:06,000
It's open on the outside, goes right through.

1541
01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:09,000
Good-ass pitch, right?

1542
01:55:09,000 --> 01:55:14,000
That's the same number that our snooker was in about to be uniformed for from the 32.

1543
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:16,000
Looking up at the plate, right hand-header.

1544
01:55:16,000 --> 01:55:18,560
Going in, drive, good play,

1545
01:55:18,560 --> 01:55:21,000
Now down to the left side with his 3-2 pitch.

1546
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:23,000
Down at the whistle.

1547
01:55:23,000 --> 01:55:25,000
And so it's coming on the hung of the center field.

1548
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:28,000
The pitcher's looking up into the fan out there, 3-2 chance for Willie.

1549
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:31,000
There's a basket catch to be tried to tie.

1550
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:32,000
There they go.

1551
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:34,000
Here in the first inning, the craving for three-up along.

1552
01:55:34,000 --> 01:55:35,000
Takes up three runs.

1553
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,000
The justice thinks it's a hundred.

1554
01:55:37,000 --> 01:55:39,000
That was the hit in the inning.

1555
01:55:39,000 --> 01:55:42,000
There were two errors, and nobody was left behind.

1556
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:45,000
So the time now at the end of foul, full inning to play.

1557
01:55:45,000 --> 01:55:47,000
What's going on at the World Series?

1558
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:51,000
It is the first in New York's giant seven.

1559
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:55,000
The Cleveland Indies three.

1560
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:59,000
The difference this time is the great man at the back.

1561
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:01,000
He's a great guy to know too, great.

1562
01:56:01,000 --> 01:56:04,000
When asked in about 37 yards,

1563
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:08,000
if you make the world series this year, if you get the right, you feel right,

1564
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:12,000
you can forget about only those who've got the one thing to love.

1565
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:18,000
OK, now you've got a man up there.

1566
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:23,000
The official time attendance has just been announced here at the National Stadium.

1567
01:56:23,000 --> 01:56:26,000
78,102.

1568
01:56:26,000 --> 01:56:30,000
78,102 played here this afternoon.

1569
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:38,000
For the third game in the series, the attendance has reached 360,507.

1570
01:56:38,000 --> 01:56:50,000
John Marcy comes in to fix for the Cleveland Indians now.

1571
01:56:50,000 --> 01:56:53,000
John Marcy to Ricky LaCander.

1572
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:58,000
John Marcy from Redwood, Philly, California, 6195.

1573
01:56:58,000 --> 01:57:01,000
As far as checking the missers is concerned,

1574
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:04,000
John Marcy has appeared in two ball games.

1575
01:57:04,000 --> 01:57:05,000
He's got two innings.

1576
01:57:05,000 --> 01:57:10,000
Two hits, check out one man.

1577
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:13,000
Coming up to the third half of the New York Giants, Reddy LaChan.

1578
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:15,000
It's a seven to four ball game.

1579
01:57:15,000 --> 01:57:19,000
It goes suddenly, Cleveland exploded in the last half of their winning.

1580
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:23,000
That was two down, two errors were committed by the New York Giants,

1581
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:26,000
allowing two men to get on and then Hank Adeski came up to hit for an hour and a half.

1582
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:30,000
Let's go and crack a home run over the left field wall.

1583
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:31,000
Now Marcy's ready.

1584
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:38,000
Marcy had a lot to do since he's been in the Giants since like one.

1585
01:57:38,000 --> 01:57:42,000
John Marcy, I'm here to fix you in the sixth inning.

1586
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:52,000
It's not his ball game as it now stands, but it could be.

1587
01:57:52,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Marcy Reddy takes it down from here.

1588
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:58,000
He doesn't serve in the middle of the plate and LaChan pulls the bench down the first base line.

1589
01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:03,000
Victor Chazak, that's his second up and goes to first base.

1590
01:58:03,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Victor Chazak takes him on uniform block, goes to New York.

1591
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,000
And that's all for LaChan.

1592
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:16,000
A lot of times Reddy's led one down the first base line and did, but he missed a three-five.

1593
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:26,000
Well, we'll have one out here in the top of sixth inning and the batter coming up is Alvin Dard.

1594
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:31,000
Alvin Dard has had three base hits in three times, two things up to that field.

1595
01:58:31,000 --> 01:58:37,000
Dives into a curve, doesn't often take to get over first strike.

1596
01:58:37,000 --> 01:58:41,000
That's Alvin, one strike to come on Alvin Dard, one out, nobody on top of the sixth.

1597
01:58:41,000 --> 01:58:45,000
Down side in front, seven to three and the Cleveland Indians literally battling here this afternoon.

1598
01:58:45,000 --> 01:58:52,000
Not good mid of the curve and Dard's got to take that right here and go foul.

1599
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:57,000
We have a great minute here this afternoon, way back 11 years.

1600
01:58:57,000 --> 01:59:00,000
As Jimmy Dudley told you, Hal Newhouser came on the set.

1601
01:59:00,000 --> 01:59:08,000
Might remember very vividly saying Hal Newhouser wins two ball games and loses one against the Seville Cubs back in 1945.

1602
01:59:08,000 --> 01:59:10,000
The road to delivery now to Alvin Dard.

1603
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:15,000
Swing on there to bounding ball, hit back the first base, put first up with it, races to first, first down first.

1604
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:16,000
And that's all for Alvin Dard.

1605
01:59:16,000 --> 01:59:21,000
The two Giants fight to get here in the top half of inning number six.

1606
01:59:21,000 --> 01:59:25,000
11 years ago, that's quite 11 years ago, I'm getting a little ahead of myself.

1607
01:59:25,000 --> 01:59:30,000
Nine years ago, 1945 World Series.

1608
01:59:30,000 --> 01:59:37,000
I've come up with the name of Bill Skater, very well known in the sports trade and the place of work in that World Series with Bill.

1609
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,000
He's a nice couple of years younger than J.B. Allen.

1610
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:43,000
I understand he's recuperating down in Florida and you can surely hope that he might be listening in today.

1611
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:46,000
John Mueller, old man, breaks up at the plate, swings on the first pitch,

1612
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:51,000
hit the plate, back to the nine, that's his cut across the first guess in time, and Mueller's out.

1613
01:59:51,000 --> 01:59:55,000
Northbound eyelash.

1614
01:59:55,000 --> 01:59:57,000
The Cleveland team is just working up here.

1615
01:59:57,000 --> 01:59:59,000
The Giants are made down and order here.

1616
01:59:59,000 --> 02:00:03,000
And a big turning by, Mueller without getting the ball out of the infield.

1617
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:06,000
That's nothing fast to Giants here, they have to take turning.

1618
02:00:06,000 --> 02:00:08,000
And they're moving to basketball.

1619
02:00:08,000 --> 02:00:13,000
Six, four at the end, about five and one half and the play remains.

1620
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:20,000
Two at seven, the Cleveland Indians three.

1621
02:00:20,000 --> 02:00:23,000
Well, you know that attendance, that seven years past,

1622
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:28,000
could give us a record share to go to the ball players this year.

1623
02:00:28,000 --> 02:00:34,000
We've found shares in the past year in the Flood World Series record books.

1624
02:00:34,000 --> 02:00:38,000
Three million copies of last year's book were in the way to go around for Indians.

1625
02:00:38,000 --> 02:00:39,000
Uh-huh.

1626
02:00:39,000 --> 02:00:41,000
So has this year's edition moving out?

1627
02:00:41,000 --> 02:00:42,000
It certainly is.

1628
02:00:42,000 --> 02:00:47,000
That's because this year's records will get you a lot more fun, not a baseball.

1629
02:00:47,000 --> 02:00:52,000
It has a score of every World Series game, winning hits, all-time records of every player,

1630
02:00:52,000 --> 02:00:56,000
diagrams and dimensions and hitting ranges of every part,

1631
02:00:56,000 --> 02:00:59,000
with your terror rosters and post-season scoring instructions,

1632
02:00:59,000 --> 02:01:01,000
and you have up about everything.

1633
02:01:01,000 --> 02:01:05,000
Five July FIFA Speedwriters set for just one dollar at a regular price.

1634
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:09,000
The bigger and better 1944 edition of the Flood World Series book

1635
02:01:09,000 --> 02:01:16,000
will be a match in Jackson, South Carolina.

1636
02:01:16,000 --> 02:01:19,000
The last half of the sixth inning, Bobby Avila.

1637
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:22,000
The captain's power of the bird series comes up to the plate here for the Cleveland Indians.

1638
02:01:22,000 --> 02:01:27,000
And of course, anticipating that perhaps the Cleveland Indians have snapped out of their lethargy,

1639
02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:33,000
the fans start the last half of the sixth inning with Bobby Avila coming up with a round of applause.

1640
02:01:33,000 --> 02:01:37,000
Little tires the first six to Avila and gets it over to waste her third set.

1641
02:01:37,000 --> 02:01:39,000
And there is over two this afternoon.

1642
02:01:39,000 --> 02:01:42,000
She's super-focusing for the entire series.

1643
02:01:42,000 --> 02:01:46,000
Two hits, but they're too not bad.

1644
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,000
Bobby batting right-handed, standing just off the plate.

1645
02:01:49,000 --> 02:01:51,000
Holds up that way down to the nod.

1646
02:01:51,000 --> 02:01:53,000
Little spins the pitch in, and the bill is slinged on,

1647
02:01:53,000 --> 02:01:55,000
and there's a high-five ball hanging from the field.

1648
02:01:55,000 --> 02:01:59,000
Willam-O's after he's left the front, it's great for it to come down, he's got it.

1649
02:01:59,000 --> 02:02:01,000
There it is, out number one.

1650
02:02:01,000 --> 02:02:03,000
Went out, the bottom of the sixth inning.

1651
02:02:03,000 --> 02:02:06,000
The batter coming up to the plate is Larry Goebbich.

1652
02:02:06,000 --> 02:02:08,000
Ron Kroesman here for a long time.

1653
02:02:08,000 --> 02:02:10,000
He was known as the sense-buster.

1654
02:02:10,000 --> 02:02:13,000
Kroesman here, let the home run, let the batter be back up and home run.

1655
02:02:13,000 --> 02:02:15,000
He's going to start it in.

1656
02:02:15,000 --> 02:02:21,000
So far in the series, Kroesman has had two very good hits.

1657
02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,000
Four-thirteen times his back.

1658
02:02:23,000 --> 02:02:26,000
Little Kroesman fast-balled through, and then picked up the knees on the right-side turnip,

1659
02:02:26,000 --> 02:02:28,000
or called stretch.

1660
02:02:28,000 --> 02:02:34,000
Kroesman has struck out a third with four-times, and he's lost twice.

1661
02:02:34,000 --> 02:02:39,000
Larry Lovell got that off, left-hand hitter, turns it to the knees.

1662
02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:42,000
Little Lovell's turn, puts it in line, there's a bounding ball hit,

1663
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:47,000
drive it around, little is off the field, tires to face, and baby is out.

1664
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:52,000
Well, the Indians, the three, have two men away here in the bottom of the sixth inning.

1665
02:02:52,000 --> 02:02:54,000
The batter coming up is Rosen.

1666
02:02:54,000 --> 02:02:56,000
Flip hasn't hit a ball out of the infield in two-times.

1667
02:02:56,000 --> 02:02:59,000
That's the sustain out.

1668
02:02:59,000 --> 02:03:02,000
In the second inning by second baseman, Baby Willam.

1669
02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:10,000
And in the fourth inning he's just hard to drive by driving the third stop out and back.

1670
02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:14,000
Rosen's trying to start a bad time, I think.

1671
02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:15,000
Just got back to step in.

1672
02:03:15,000 --> 02:03:26,000
Little throws up a big curve ball in the car, right off the peak of the tackle ball, then.

1673
02:03:26,000 --> 02:03:32,000
Guess what? Guess what, then, here's what.

1674
02:03:32,000 --> 02:03:36,000
There he is, over the giant in the fourth series, points the sign out for the living.

1675
02:03:36,000 --> 02:03:40,000
Down is ready, goes over his head, six, throws the fast ball, and Rosen after sends in,

1676
02:03:40,000 --> 02:03:41,000
help it on the third.

1677
02:03:41,000 --> 02:03:43,000
Thompson's got it, fires over the first base, low end of the dote,

1678
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:46,000
why do you like them good with it, throws out number three.

1679
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:49,000
There, Rosen, down, drives out, round for the first,

1680
02:03:49,000 --> 02:03:54,000
three-times the side, nothing in the car, super-cleaned in the last half of the sixth inning,

1681
02:03:54,000 --> 02:03:57,000
and the fourth, he under-flicks, full in, and into play.

1682
02:03:57,000 --> 02:04:03,000
There's New York seven and the Cleveland Indians three.

1683
02:04:03,000 --> 02:04:05,000
Well, if the Indians could come back and take the base game,

1684
02:04:05,000 --> 02:04:13,000
their all-time world series record will be 10-1 and 7-1 for a percentage of 5-88.

1685
02:04:13,000 --> 02:04:19,000
So that is top-heavy record, who have won 71 and got 35 for a percentage of 6-70.

1686
02:04:19,000 --> 02:04:25,000
Last time was left, Lord James Leckard, don't be scoffing at that now.

1687
02:04:25,000 --> 02:04:28,000
Seven.

1688
02:04:28,000 --> 02:04:33,000
The only number that's top of the seventh inning is going to be Mary Thompson Williams.

1689
02:04:33,000 --> 02:04:36,000
Here he goes, back one, two, three, four, five, six, pitches.

1690
02:04:36,000 --> 02:04:38,000
Six pitches in the last half of the sixth inning.

1691
02:04:38,000 --> 02:04:43,000
By the way, that's the shortest women's world series so far.

1692
02:04:43,000 --> 02:04:47,000
Six pitches.

1693
02:04:47,000 --> 02:04:51,000
That's pretty quick. That's good when there are men in the hurry.

1694
02:04:51,000 --> 02:04:54,000
Up to the plate now comes Willie May, the cap of the seventh inning is John Murphy.

1695
02:04:54,000 --> 02:04:55,000
He goes back to work.

1696
02:04:55,000 --> 02:04:57,000
Setting the Cleveland ball club for you defensively,

1697
02:04:57,000 --> 02:05:00,000
John Murphy is on the down-tune, he can behind the plate.

1698
02:05:00,000 --> 02:05:02,000
At first is Vic Wirtz,

1699
02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:03,000
Fabio Villa at second,

1700
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:04,000
up short is Sam Zetti,

1701
02:05:04,000 --> 02:05:06,000
at third is Al Roach,

1702
02:05:06,000 --> 02:05:07,000
Al Smith in left field.

1703
02:05:07,000 --> 02:05:08,000
Get the rest of them going in a moment.

1704
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:09,000
Murphy's third.

1705
02:05:09,000 --> 02:05:12,000
Mays is up and over for his second.

1706
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:13,000
Willoughby is the center fielder for Cleveland.

1707
02:05:13,000 --> 02:05:15,000
He likes his well-a-web play.

1708
02:05:15,000 --> 02:05:17,000
It's a seven to three ball game.

1709
02:05:17,000 --> 02:05:19,000
The Giants having seven runs on eight hits,

1710
02:05:19,000 --> 02:05:20,000
the Indians three runs on two hits.

1711
02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:22,000
Both sides are committed to errors.

1712
02:05:22,000 --> 02:05:26,000
Murphy-Pickers, Mays takes outside and high for a ball one.

1713
02:05:26,000 --> 02:05:28,000
One ball and one strike.

1714
02:05:28,000 --> 02:05:35,000
Last half of the seventh inning.

1715
02:05:35,000 --> 02:05:37,000
Mays shining inside against the plate.

1716
02:05:37,000 --> 02:05:40,000
He drives straight ahead and he's got that time to the north.

1717
02:05:40,000 --> 02:05:43,000
Mays has been blessed with that ball, as I expected he might have been.

1718
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:45,000
Willoughby's third.

1719
02:05:45,000 --> 02:05:46,000
It's his family.

1720
02:05:46,000 --> 02:05:48,000
Make sure he's outside for Murphy.

1721
02:05:48,000 --> 02:05:50,000
Run the count to a one.

1722
02:05:50,000 --> 02:05:52,000
He balls and one strike.

1723
02:05:52,000 --> 02:05:54,000
The off field turns around the left for Willie Mays.

1724
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:57,000
Plays in deep.

1725
02:05:57,000 --> 02:05:59,000
For quite a while during the regular season,

1726
02:05:59,000 --> 02:06:04,000
he thought he had an opportunity of breaking the home run record.

1727
02:06:04,000 --> 02:06:05,000
Set by their blue.

1728
02:06:05,000 --> 02:06:06,000
Pitch to end.

1729
02:06:06,000 --> 02:06:07,000
This time it's outside.

1730
02:06:07,000 --> 02:06:11,000
Four, four, three, three and one.

1731
02:06:11,000 --> 02:06:13,000
We're going to have a look at the number of runs in the match here.

1732
02:06:13,000 --> 02:06:21,000
The player's share in this World Series will amount to $244,843.60.

1733
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:23,000
A three-one pitch to Willie Mays.

1734
02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:24,000
Half ball.

1735
02:06:24,000 --> 02:06:26,000
Willie Swinton bounces it down back a first base.

1736
02:06:26,000 --> 02:06:34,000
Wirtz comes up with his steps on first and Willie Mays is out.

1737
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:37,000
So that's the first out.

1738
02:06:37,000 --> 02:06:40,000
In the sixth inning, Rockman bounced down to Wirtz.

1739
02:06:40,000 --> 02:06:44,000
And here in the seventh, Willie Mays bounced to it.

1740
02:06:44,000 --> 02:06:46,000
So he's been a busy little fellow down that first base.

1741
02:06:46,000 --> 02:06:48,000
Now hitting left-hander is Hank Thompson.

1742
02:06:48,000 --> 02:06:52,000
One of the unsung heroes of this World Series.

1743
02:06:52,000 --> 02:06:54,000
Great defensively.

1744
02:06:54,000 --> 02:06:58,000
His storm is high up above the cap, right over the head for ball one.

1745
02:06:58,000 --> 02:07:01,000
By the way, Thompson has walked seven times in this series,

1746
02:07:01,000 --> 02:07:04,000
and if this series should end with this ball game,

1747
02:07:04,000 --> 02:07:08,000
he will have set a record for the number of walks in a four-game series.

1748
02:07:08,000 --> 02:07:11,000
Bases on both, record for four-game, six.

1749
02:07:11,000 --> 02:07:13,000
Down the goal.

1750
02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:15,000
There's another curve ball.

1751
02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:17,000
This is Maddie the Moler.

1752
02:07:17,000 --> 02:07:19,000
Thompson backed off from that one.

1753
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:21,000
He thought it was going to be way up there.

1754
02:07:21,000 --> 02:07:22,000
Not too good.

1755
02:07:22,000 --> 02:07:26,000
They curve up, but good.

1756
02:07:26,000 --> 02:07:28,000
Dude, I wonder where first base.

1757
02:07:28,000 --> 02:07:30,000
Down to one-one pitch on left-hander, batting constant.

1758
02:07:30,000 --> 02:07:32,000
He runs up on it, spins it, and a fast ball, and doesn't get it.

1759
02:07:32,000 --> 02:07:35,000
That's quite true.

1760
02:07:35,000 --> 02:07:40,000
Very honest, he came in here yesterday, old hard nose, as Jimmy Dudley calls him.

1761
02:07:40,000 --> 02:07:42,000
Really fired that rock.

1762
02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:49,000
Today, Don Massey has come on, and he's been showing plenty of mastery with his catchers.

1763
02:07:49,000 --> 02:07:50,000
The one-two delivery.

1764
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:51,000
Fast ball.

1765
02:07:51,000 --> 02:07:52,000
Swung on, bounced down off the rubber for him.

1766
02:07:52,000 --> 02:07:53,000
Played a bounding ball to Bobby Avila.

1767
02:07:53,000 --> 02:07:57,000
He comes in, can't figure that pitch to ball away from him.

1768
02:07:57,000 --> 02:08:00,000
And far from there, Thompson going to first to hold on.

1769
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:01,000
Right and low, alpha base hit.

1770
02:08:01,000 --> 02:08:03,000
Bobby Avila coming in, tried to scoop it.

1771
02:08:03,000 --> 02:08:06,000
It was one of those two-year-old players, and Bobby wasn't quite able to make it.

1772
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:09,000
It was always a base hit.

1773
02:08:09,000 --> 02:08:11,000
Well, Thompson's on.

1774
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:15,000
That's the first pitch given up by Massey.

1775
02:08:15,000 --> 02:08:25,000
That'll be hit number nine for the Giants.

1776
02:08:25,000 --> 02:08:28,000
Down off the pitch to Monty Urban, with one out and one on.

1777
02:08:28,000 --> 02:08:30,000
Massey checks his liners, delivers a big curve to the plate.

1778
02:08:30,000 --> 02:08:36,000
Urban takes it outside and high for ball one.

1779
02:08:36,000 --> 02:08:38,000
One ball, no strikes.

1780
02:08:38,000 --> 02:08:40,000
One on, one out here in the top of the seventh.

1781
02:08:40,000 --> 02:08:44,000
The Giants lead seven to three.

1782
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:47,000
Urban flails up back and forth, leans over the plate.

1783
02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:49,000
Thompson leads it first.

1784
02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:51,000
The fast ball is fired by Massey under the knees.

1785
02:08:51,000 --> 02:08:55,000
That's ball two.

1786
02:08:55,000 --> 02:09:00,000
The first world series, this guy Thompson, a third base, has been on 11 times.

1787
02:09:00,000 --> 02:09:04,000
That's just about power for the course two.

1788
02:09:04,000 --> 02:09:08,000
These big makes are here, loosening up down in the Cleveland Dope end.

1789
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:10,000
Yesterday's starter and losing pitcher.

1790
02:09:10,000 --> 02:09:11,000
Massey delivers fast ball.

1791
02:09:11,000 --> 02:09:16,000
Urban taps out at the hip, about to handle foul.

1792
02:09:16,000 --> 02:09:18,000
Two balls, one strike.

1793
02:09:18,000 --> 02:09:22,000
Top of the seventh inning, Giants leading the four runs, the score's 97-3.

1794
02:09:22,000 --> 02:09:30,000
They're bidding to split this one in four.

1795
02:09:30,000 --> 02:09:35,000
Andy Urban, who went until today, second inning before he got his first base hit in the series,

1796
02:09:35,000 --> 02:09:38,000
and then he broke out with a double up there.

1797
02:09:38,000 --> 02:09:41,000
Takes the fast ball up to the plate, that's ball three.

1798
02:09:41,000 --> 02:09:44,000
Andy doubles to left corner field in the second inning,

1799
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:47,000
struck out in the third, and singled the left in the fifth.

1800
02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:48,000
He's driven in two runs.

1801
02:09:48,000 --> 02:09:56,000
That single belet in the fifth drove in two of the Giants' four runs in their big four runs this inning.

1802
02:09:56,000 --> 02:10:01,000
Andy Urban, the world at number 20.

1803
02:10:01,000 --> 02:10:03,000
Thompson steps away from first.

1804
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:06,000
Massey serves up the plate, and Urban taps out and hits the foul ball

1805
02:10:06,000 --> 02:10:09,000
off to the right of the screen, and it's going back into the stretch here.

1806
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:11,000
He's out of the way.

1807
02:10:11,000 --> 02:10:13,000
Over the collar, Andy Urban, it's three and two.

1808
02:10:13,000 --> 02:10:17,000
Three balls and two strikes.

1809
02:10:17,000 --> 02:10:19,000
Andy Urban, nine hits for the Giants.

1810
02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:21,000
For the Cleveland Indians, three runs, two hits.

1811
02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,000
One, a three-run home run by Hank Majewski.

1812
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:28,000
That was a pinch batter in the last half of the fifth inning.

1813
02:10:28,000 --> 02:10:31,000
All through the Cleveland Runs, Andy and he were unearned,

1814
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:34,000
but nevertheless they're up on that score sheet for everyone to see.

1815
02:10:34,000 --> 02:10:35,000
Massey's ready now.

1816
02:10:35,000 --> 02:10:37,000
Go to three-two as he wants to make the pitch a song on.

1817
02:10:37,000 --> 02:10:39,000
Hits down, Greener makes the nice shot, comes up to the court,

1818
02:10:39,000 --> 02:10:47,000
and he's got a double play.

1819
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:53,000
Sam Denny, utility infielder, makes the pitch and look easy.

1820
02:10:53,000 --> 02:10:56,000
The double play goes on the stretch that Sam Denny, who made a nice stop,

1821
02:10:56,000 --> 02:10:59,000
over to Bobby Avila, who had the Phillips to be in a hurry to make the slowdown

1822
02:10:59,000 --> 02:11:01,000
to first base, and he did.

1823
02:11:01,000 --> 02:11:03,000
Thompson was caught on the front end of the double play.

1824
02:11:03,000 --> 02:11:06,000
That's the race to side here in the top of the seventh inning.

1825
02:11:06,000 --> 02:11:08,000
And that was the second double play the Indians had come up with.

1826
02:11:08,000 --> 02:11:14,000
In the World Series, the runs one hit for the New York Giants in the top of the seventh inning.

1827
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:16,000
There were no errors, nobody was left on.

1828
02:11:16,000 --> 02:11:19,000
And the score at the end, the prediction run happening to play now,

1829
02:11:19,000 --> 02:11:22,000
it's New York seven, Cleveland three.

1830
02:11:22,000 --> 02:11:28,000
Ladies and gentlemen, Gillette presents the sharpest edges ever honed.

1831
02:11:28,000 --> 02:11:38,000
Every time you say to be a shot, and you off the ball just be a shot,

1832
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:44,000
Gillette's blue-grey for a quick-to-click in case of all.

1833
02:11:44,000 --> 02:11:50,000
Gillette blue-grey for me to fit your razor to a piece.

1834
02:11:50,000 --> 02:11:56,000
They're double-edged lines on the line for real economy, to love the shot.

1835
02:11:56,000 --> 02:12:03,000
Every time you say to be a shot, and you on the ball just be a shot,

1836
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:11,000
you can't let you get all the quick-to-click in case of all.

1837
02:12:11,000 --> 02:12:14,000
Gillette's blue-grey in modern defenses with used bench compartment,

1838
02:12:14,000 --> 02:12:20,000
so 24.98 cents, 10.49 cents.

1839
02:12:20,000 --> 02:12:22,000
Now to the last half of the seventh inning.

1840
02:12:22,000 --> 02:12:26,000
West-hand hitter takes a throw from south far down middle,

1841
02:12:26,000 --> 02:12:29,000
and it's loaded beneath for called strike one.

1842
02:12:29,000 --> 02:12:33,000
Woods has done it for two hits.

1843
02:12:33,000 --> 02:12:35,000
The Cleveland backs are picked up for tap in home.

1844
02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:38,000
Both of them have been extra-base blow, exactly, ladies.

1845
02:12:38,000 --> 02:12:42,000
Woods swings on the next pitch and he sends a foul right up over a microphone.

1846
02:12:42,000 --> 02:12:45,000
That's strike two, and while we're getting the ball in play down,

1847
02:12:45,000 --> 02:12:47,000
let's pause here ten seconds for station identification.

1848
02:12:47,000 --> 02:12:52,000
This is Muriel, the radio network for all of America.

1849
02:12:52,000 --> 02:13:01,000
WGM, the Chicago Tribune station, for the UniverWest.

1850
02:13:01,000 --> 02:13:05,000
Right back to the diamond here at the Mississippi Stadium in Cleveland.

1851
02:13:05,000 --> 02:13:08,000
The coach has one for two this afternoon, a double-edged right center.

1852
02:13:08,000 --> 02:13:09,000
That's the end of the second inning.

1853
02:13:09,000 --> 02:13:11,000
We fly the center in the first.

1854
02:13:11,000 --> 02:13:12,000
Little works for another one, too.

1855
02:13:12,000 --> 02:13:17,000
And throws the ball behind him, behind his head.

1856
02:13:17,000 --> 02:13:21,000
Weston takes out the keeper from going through, and that's a one on Woods.

1857
02:13:21,000 --> 02:13:27,000
Woods will be followed by one at west lake and then by Sean Dunning.

1858
02:13:27,000 --> 02:13:29,000
Little push firing down there in the mound.

1859
02:13:29,000 --> 02:13:33,000
Glovers will be in gray uniform, saturated.

1860
02:13:33,000 --> 02:13:39,000
Little color gives you impressions of a little bull-legged.

1861
02:13:39,000 --> 02:13:44,000
Coach takes time, slips back through, drives hands.

1862
02:13:44,000 --> 02:13:49,000
Seven to three, end of the drive.

1863
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:51,000
Now a little skips and throws.

1864
02:13:51,000 --> 02:13:53,000
Works, gets you the curve ball.

1865
02:13:53,000 --> 02:13:55,000
That's a pretty high one off the floor of the ten.

1866
02:13:55,000 --> 02:13:58,000
Ball through.

1867
02:13:58,000 --> 02:14:00,000
Two balls, two strikes.

1868
02:14:00,000 --> 02:14:02,000
Now it's half of the seventh inning.

1869
02:14:02,000 --> 02:14:04,000
Bam, it's going short.

1870
02:14:04,000 --> 02:14:12,000
No one knows when to go, the defendant's down there wearing those right home uniforms.

1871
02:14:12,000 --> 02:14:17,000
The two-two pitch, an overhand curve to work the five of the letter.

1872
02:14:17,000 --> 02:14:21,000
Around the ball pan, the lead rusher has left-hander Johnny Hanson, L.A.,

1873
02:14:21,000 --> 02:14:26,000
who has won a ball game in this series, and points will help.

1874
02:14:26,000 --> 02:14:28,000
He will lead to yesterday.

1875
02:14:28,000 --> 02:14:33,000
Make one and ready in case Little should stumble here in the late stages.

1876
02:14:33,000 --> 02:14:37,000
Ron Little from Montgomery, Illinois, ready to make his three-two pitch here to Vic Wirtz,

1877
02:14:37,000 --> 02:14:39,000
the up-hander when you're born.

1878
02:14:39,000 --> 02:14:43,000
In the drive, touch ball, swing on, jump out in the center field, left hand over the base hit.

1879
02:14:43,000 --> 02:14:49,000
Works his arm.

1880
02:14:49,000 --> 02:14:53,000
Works the line shot single into center field.

1881
02:14:53,000 --> 02:14:55,000
That's here for Victor Wirtz.

1882
02:14:55,000 --> 02:14:58,000
That's his eighth base hit.

1883
02:14:58,000 --> 02:15:03,000
Eighth base hit, and 15 times up.

1884
02:15:03,000 --> 02:15:08,000
This uphills batting percentage by dividing 15 into 8.0.

1885
02:15:08,000 --> 02:15:10,000
You'll have it.

1886
02:15:10,000 --> 02:15:13,000
One of us like coming up, he's over two.

1887
02:15:13,000 --> 02:15:18,000
The Indians are trying to surge back a little.

1888
02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:23,000
That's a third hit off Little.

1889
02:15:23,000 --> 02:15:31,000
It's from the plate, the west lake is taken, and it's off the end. It's over for a strike.

1890
02:15:31,000 --> 02:15:36,000
Up until today, Ron Little has pitched only one third of an inning in the World Series,

1891
02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:38,000
which got him a relief.

1892
02:15:38,000 --> 02:15:41,000
A couple of days back, over a total of rounds.

1893
02:15:41,000 --> 02:15:42,000
That's his runner at first.

1894
02:15:42,000 --> 02:15:43,000
The weather's a break.

1895
02:15:43,000 --> 02:15:45,000
West lake takes the fast ball under the knees.

1896
02:15:45,000 --> 02:15:46,000
That's ball one.

1897
02:15:46,000 --> 02:15:55,000
One ball and one strike.

1898
02:15:55,000 --> 02:15:58,000
West lake can be followed by Denny.

1899
02:15:58,000 --> 02:16:00,000
Wirtz has opened his seventh with a single to center.

1900
02:16:00,000 --> 02:16:04,000
He had authority. It was hit.

1901
02:16:04,000 --> 02:16:08,000
West lake swings on the next pitch and trickles one out to the left of the plate foul.

1902
02:16:08,000 --> 02:16:21,000
Two balls, two strikes on west lake.

1903
02:16:21,000 --> 02:16:23,000
Little gets a new ball to work with.

1904
02:16:23,000 --> 02:16:25,000
Looks around and checks his in-heel not to.

1905
02:16:25,000 --> 02:16:27,000
Finds the out-heel, finds around the left.

1906
02:16:27,000 --> 02:16:29,000
Going pretty deep for west lake.

1907
02:16:29,000 --> 02:16:32,000
Hits up that long ball.

1908
02:16:32,000 --> 02:16:36,000
A little power.

1909
02:16:36,000 --> 02:16:38,000
Red bird's moving off the first base.

1910
02:16:38,000 --> 02:16:39,000
In comes the pitch.

1911
02:16:39,000 --> 02:16:40,000
West lake swings on the run-up third ball.

1912
02:16:40,000 --> 02:16:41,000
There's the edit.

1913
02:16:41,000 --> 02:16:46,000
That's that game.

1914
02:16:46,000 --> 02:16:51,000
Strangely enough, Little has only two strikeouts for his credit here this afternoon.

1915
02:16:51,000 --> 02:16:55,000
He's got Dobian first and he now has west lake here in the seventh.

1916
02:16:55,000 --> 02:16:57,000
One out, one on for Cleveland.

1917
02:16:57,000 --> 02:17:01,000
Last half, the seventh inning, and Sam Denty coming up to the plate.

1918
02:17:01,000 --> 02:17:09,000
The ball is to two, slide out in the second inning through center field, and there's a base runner on the pitcher's yard in the fifth.

1919
02:17:09,000 --> 02:17:13,000
Sam's chipping up on the hand with the bat, stands just off the plate and strikes.

1920
02:17:13,000 --> 02:17:14,000
Turns it to me.

1921
02:17:14,000 --> 02:17:15,000
Little turns him.

1922
02:17:15,000 --> 02:17:16,000
There, it's over.

1923
02:17:16,000 --> 02:17:18,000
Right under the letters on the outside plate.

1924
02:17:18,000 --> 02:17:25,000
Right run.

1925
02:17:25,000 --> 02:17:26,000
Nothing in one.

1926
02:17:26,000 --> 02:17:27,000
A down on Sam Denty.

1927
02:17:27,000 --> 02:17:33,000
Down on house of the seven, score seven to three in favor of New York over Cleveland.

1928
02:17:33,000 --> 02:17:34,000
Little checks his runner.

1929
02:17:34,000 --> 02:17:35,000
Works it first.

1930
02:17:35,000 --> 02:17:36,000
Delivers the ball.

1931
02:17:36,000 --> 02:17:39,000
Pitchers in there under the leaves, Denty, for a ball one.

1932
02:17:39,000 --> 02:17:42,000
One ball and one strike.

1933
02:17:42,000 --> 02:17:43,000
Delivered in, working around out of the man.

1934
02:17:43,000 --> 02:17:44,000
Takes the work.

1935
02:17:44,000 --> 02:17:45,000
Cuts the particularly sharp steps up on the rubber.

1936
02:17:45,000 --> 02:17:47,000
Looks down at Denty.

1937
02:17:47,000 --> 02:17:50,000
Works his nut being held down by Randy Loughnan.

1938
02:17:50,000 --> 02:17:54,000
Raddy's cut way back in fielding that.

1939
02:17:54,000 --> 02:17:55,000
Down on the stretch.

1940
02:17:55,000 --> 02:17:56,000
Hits and throws.

1941
02:17:56,000 --> 02:17:59,000
And a miss by Denty for track two.

1942
02:17:59,000 --> 02:18:01,000
Finally, the monitor.

1943
02:18:01,000 --> 02:18:07,000
Drops the drone at that low wind.

1944
02:18:07,000 --> 02:18:13,000
Towers one and two on Denty.

1945
02:18:13,000 --> 02:18:18,000
Out there to go next will be catcher Jim Heaton.

1946
02:18:18,000 --> 02:18:19,000
Down at his nuts.

1947
02:18:19,000 --> 02:18:21,000
Down he goes and jumps through pitch.

1948
02:18:21,000 --> 02:18:23,000
Swing on there, he's going to try to hit out into the left field.

1949
02:18:23,000 --> 02:18:27,000
And the monitor makes the grab and works hard to come back to first base.

1950
02:18:27,000 --> 02:18:30,000
Denty hits the ball a while, but hits right where monitor Irwin.

1951
02:18:30,000 --> 02:18:32,000
He's got his hands on it.

1952
02:18:32,000 --> 02:18:33,000
So they have two outs in the last of the sevens.

1953
02:18:33,000 --> 02:18:36,000
And Jim Heaton moving up to the plate.

1954
02:18:36,000 --> 02:18:40,000
Jim started today, one for ten, hitting at 100.

1955
02:18:40,000 --> 02:18:42,000
He had a double.

1956
02:18:42,000 --> 02:18:47,000
Today he has lost them in the fifth and eighth base run-in.

1957
02:18:47,000 --> 02:18:50,000
And an error committed by second baseman David Williams.

1958
02:18:50,000 --> 02:18:52,000
So Heaton's 0 for 1 today.

1959
02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:54,000
1 for 11.

1960
02:18:54,000 --> 02:19:07,000
Now he's trying to get to the plate right now.

1961
02:19:07,000 --> 02:19:12,000
Little tries to pass the ball on him and he can't get back to the left field, so they hit.

1962
02:19:12,000 --> 02:19:14,000
And second goes low to hold on.

1963
02:19:14,000 --> 02:19:19,000
Not even comes up to that bound unless he even feels it in.

1964
02:19:19,000 --> 02:19:24,000
And the Indians now have runners at 13 seconds.

1965
02:19:24,000 --> 02:19:27,000
And sluggers have come up to the plate going massive.

1966
02:19:27,000 --> 02:19:29,000
Let's see what our low-priced is going to do.

1967
02:19:29,000 --> 02:19:34,000
He's got the best food down in the bowl pan, warmed up and ready, all heated.

1968
02:19:34,000 --> 02:19:38,000
And it looks as though Rudy Regalado is coming up the bat.

1969
02:19:38,000 --> 02:19:40,000
Here's the announcement.

1970
02:19:40,000 --> 02:19:51,000
The match is 52 innings here this afternoon.

1971
02:19:51,000 --> 02:19:53,000
He gets by giving up only one base hit.

1972
02:19:53,000 --> 02:20:05,000
Rudy Regalado is coming up.

1973
02:20:05,000 --> 02:20:08,000
This is just thinking a little bit ahead everybody, but if the Indians can do anything here,

1974
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:13,000
and this is all about tying it up or running perhaps in their trainings,

1975
02:20:13,000 --> 02:20:19,000
Rick Ward for second base right now may get a second chance at the high-race record of 10 hits in four games.

1976
02:20:19,000 --> 02:20:25,000
Jake right now has eight.

1977
02:20:25,000 --> 02:20:30,000
Rick established that record back in 1928 in the World Series.

1978
02:20:30,000 --> 02:20:33,000
Rudy Regalado batting for down-mess.

1979
02:20:33,000 --> 02:20:38,000
They're hitting right-handed.

1980
02:20:38,000 --> 02:20:39,000
And time is all.

1981
02:20:39,000 --> 02:20:40,000
The good doctor was in there.

1982
02:20:40,000 --> 02:20:46,000
Besides a little of second glass, he's taking too much time.

1983
02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:59,000
Regalado has 0-0-0 over batting percentage if he takes the first pick high and tries to ball one.

1984
02:20:59,000 --> 02:21:03,000
Tries to save him the first to second, two down, last half of the seventh.

1985
02:21:03,000 --> 02:21:05,000
Seven to three in favor of the Giants.

1986
02:21:05,000 --> 02:21:09,000
Steven making her base.

1987
02:21:09,000 --> 02:21:11,000
And a 1-0 pick by Don Little.

1988
02:21:11,000 --> 02:21:21,000
An overhand fastball taken on the outside corner, and a half-or-fifth.

1989
02:21:21,000 --> 02:21:26,000
One ball, one strike on Pinchmutter Rudy Regalado.

1990
02:21:26,000 --> 02:21:29,000
Woods ready to set Taylor second.

1991
02:21:29,000 --> 02:21:32,000
Higgins ready to step out to first.

1992
02:21:32,000 --> 02:21:33,000
Regalado leads over.

1993
02:21:33,000 --> 02:21:35,000
Little comes in with a fastball.

1994
02:21:35,000 --> 02:21:38,000
Tom, a good back-to-the-middle in the centerfield for a base hit.

1995
02:21:38,000 --> 02:21:39,000
Woods coming around third.

1996
02:21:39,000 --> 02:21:40,000
Willamette still goes to third.

1997
02:21:40,000 --> 02:21:43,000
There goes Higgins into third.

1998
02:21:43,000 --> 02:22:01,000
Taylor's a first-and-third in the run for.

1999
02:22:01,000 --> 02:22:06,000
Now it's a seven-to-four ball game by Steven.

2000
02:22:06,000 --> 02:22:17,000
And starting back, and Leo DeRosa calls for Tom and comes out with a giant dugout.

2001
02:22:17,000 --> 02:22:19,000
Jim Higgins at third base.

2002
02:22:19,000 --> 02:22:21,000
Rudy Regalado batting for Don Maffey.

2003
02:22:21,000 --> 02:22:24,000
Singles back to the middle.

2004
02:22:24,000 --> 02:22:29,000
And hardly coming out with a giant dugout and going down to the bullpen is right-hander Mark Berkham,

2005
02:22:29,000 --> 02:22:35,000
who leads so magnificently in the first game of his World Series and picked up the win.

2006
02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:43,000
It's a relief for Magley.

2007
02:22:43,000 --> 02:22:45,000
I don't think there's another opportunity to lead Magley.

2008
02:22:45,000 --> 02:22:51,000
And Leo DeRosa is going to call on Hope Wilhelm.

2009
02:22:51,000 --> 02:22:52,000
Hope Wilhelm is coming on.

2010
02:22:52,000 --> 02:22:55,000
He relieved here yesterday.

2011
02:22:55,000 --> 02:22:58,000
And Hope Wilhelm is coming on to pitch here in the seventh inning.

2012
02:22:58,000 --> 02:23:02,000
As John Wibble, who pitched magnificently up until the fifth,

2013
02:23:02,000 --> 02:23:06,000
the ball game started to pop a little on him in the fifth inning.

2014
02:23:06,000 --> 02:23:09,000
And Cleveland squared three runs after two hours.

2015
02:23:09,000 --> 02:23:16,000
Two hours committed, allowed two men on, and Hank Magetsky came up to hit a three-run home run for the Cleveland Indians to get them back in the ball game.

2016
02:23:16,000 --> 02:23:18,000
Then the eighth to the sixth inning was rather routine.

2017
02:23:18,000 --> 02:23:21,000
And the seventh inning here, it has been trouble again for Don Little.

2018
02:23:21,000 --> 02:23:27,000
So he goes out of there after having hit six and two third-anys of balls.

2019
02:23:27,000 --> 02:23:28,000
He's given up four runs.

2020
02:23:28,000 --> 02:23:29,000
He's given up four base hits.

2021
02:23:29,000 --> 02:23:32,000
He's left one man stuck out two wild hits one time.

2022
02:23:32,000 --> 02:23:37,000
But the two men on the bases right now are the responsibility of the now-departing Don Little of Mount Carmel, Illinois.

2023
02:23:37,000 --> 02:23:38,000
There's a round of applause for him.

2024
02:23:38,000 --> 02:23:44,000
He's picked a good ball game today.

2025
02:23:44,000 --> 02:24:04,000
I'm going to go to the third inning.

2026
02:24:04,000 --> 02:24:09,000
Hank Wilhelm coming on to make his second appearance in the 1964 World Series.

2027
02:24:09,000 --> 02:24:15,000
They came on in yesterday's ball game after Gomez had gone seven and one third innings and finished it out.

2028
02:24:15,000 --> 02:24:17,000
New York winning the ball game 62.

2029
02:24:17,000 --> 02:24:23,000
Now it's Wilhelm coming on to try to stay vigilant for the drive and for the starting 50-pound middle.

2030
02:24:23,000 --> 02:24:27,000
And it looks as though he's going to come up and do a little batting here for the Cleveland Indians.

2031
02:24:27,000 --> 02:24:28,000
Here's Dr. Smith.

2032
02:24:28,000 --> 02:24:38,000
There he is home.

2033
02:24:38,000 --> 02:24:42,000
Joe Schoepf, a left-hand hitter, coming on the back for Al Smith, a right-hander.

2034
02:24:42,000 --> 02:24:50,000
Schoepf may stay in the ball game to play out in left field or he may have a realignment of the outfield position for Cleveland.

2035
02:24:50,000 --> 02:24:51,000
Well, let's see.

2036
02:24:51,000 --> 02:24:52,000
It's a seven-four ball game.

2037
02:24:52,000 --> 02:24:57,000
And the guy stepping up to the tape, Schoepf, represents the tying run for Cleveland.

2038
02:24:57,000 --> 02:24:59,000
Higgin is up first.

2039
02:24:59,000 --> 02:25:03,000
Regalado, who singles back through the middle to drive in the run, is in charge at first.

2040
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:05,000
A pretty good runner.

2041
02:25:05,000 --> 02:25:08,000
Well, this is a left-hander, Joe Schoepf is coming up now.

2042
02:25:08,000 --> 02:25:11,000
Let's see what happens with him with two down and two on.

2043
02:25:11,000 --> 02:25:12,000
Last half for the seventh inning.

2044
02:25:12,000 --> 02:25:21,000
Cleveland making their move in the seventh, trying to do the same thing they did in the fourth inning.

2045
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:28,000
The reason for Schoepf being sent in this spring, Joe Schoepf looks like Wilhelm pretty well in the spring exhibition game.

2046
02:25:28,000 --> 02:25:30,000
Jimmy Dudley rubs his pants together.

2047
02:25:30,000 --> 02:25:32,000
He's on his home ground here.

2048
02:25:32,000 --> 02:25:36,000
Let's see what folks are going to do, and I know there are thousands of crazy fans going to fans.

2049
02:25:36,000 --> 02:25:38,000
That was a giant fan call over the country.

2050
02:25:38,000 --> 02:25:40,000
They have their fingers crossed right now.

2051
02:25:40,000 --> 02:25:42,000
Well, let's see what happens with Higgin Wilhelm with relief.

2052
02:25:42,000 --> 02:25:43,000
Down little.

2053
02:25:43,000 --> 02:25:45,000
The knuckleball and right-hander gets up.

2054
02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,000
Shecksey is the runner at first and second.

2055
02:25:47,000 --> 02:25:48,000
Look down at folks at the pinch battle.

2056
02:25:48,000 --> 02:25:49,000
Delivered to him, the knuckle.

2057
02:25:49,000 --> 02:25:50,000
And looks outside, way outside.

2058
02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:52,000
And that's him.

2059
02:25:52,000 --> 02:25:54,000
Almost had the ball get away from him.

2060
02:25:54,000 --> 02:26:06,000
And he's got a pretty tense situation here in the last half of seventh inning.

2061
02:26:06,000 --> 02:26:26,000
And that's Wilhelm, the left-hander, and that's Schoepf.

2062
02:26:26,000 --> 02:26:27,000
Third time, it's gone.

2063
02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:31,000
While a ball is retrieved out on the right field, it's got away from the ball point crew working for Cleveland.

2064
02:26:31,000 --> 02:26:36,000
That's him still throwing down there for Cleveland.

2065
02:26:36,000 --> 02:26:40,000
There will be heat coming on here for Cleveland in the top of the eighth inning.

2066
02:26:40,000 --> 02:26:42,000
Wilhelm with runners at first and third.

2067
02:26:42,000 --> 02:26:43,000
Second is open.

2068
02:26:43,000 --> 02:26:45,000
Delivered to folks, the knuckleball.

2069
02:26:45,000 --> 02:26:47,000
Punched by up to the left-handed fan.

2070
02:26:47,000 --> 02:26:51,000
Comes down those pins and the ball catch him loose.

2071
02:26:51,000 --> 02:26:53,000
Two balls, one strike on folks.

2072
02:26:53,000 --> 02:26:54,000
He tried to hold up on it.

2073
02:26:54,000 --> 02:26:56,000
Swung that down, but it went too far around.

2074
02:26:56,000 --> 02:27:01,000
Wilhelm with the wind.

2075
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:02,000
Two balls, one strike.

2076
02:27:02,000 --> 02:27:07,000
Wilhelm below number 49, a big flip arising bag.

2077
02:27:07,000 --> 02:27:09,000
A serious take, young fellow, steps up.

2078
02:27:09,000 --> 02:27:10,000
Makes his start, checks his runners.

2079
02:27:10,000 --> 02:27:13,000
He can step that up for him.

2080
02:27:13,000 --> 02:27:14,000
Regalado out first.

2081
02:27:14,000 --> 02:27:16,000
Down comes the pitcher, knuckleball, swung on.

2082
02:27:16,000 --> 02:27:17,000
Again, punch foul.

2083
02:27:17,000 --> 02:27:21,000
Richmond out for his third base line, way back into the second tier on the play.

2084
02:27:21,000 --> 02:27:24,000
A hard ride for two balls and two strikes on Dave Pope.

2085
02:27:24,000 --> 02:27:29,000
A good starting for Al Smith, the leadoff man, the president.

2086
02:27:29,000 --> 02:27:37,000
Regalado batted for Massey and hammered a run in by ripping his finger right back through the middle.

2087
02:27:37,000 --> 02:27:38,000
Oh, there it was.

2088
02:27:38,000 --> 02:27:39,000
Gave up four runs and five hits.

2089
02:27:39,000 --> 02:27:42,000
He's responsible for the two men on right now.

2090
02:27:42,000 --> 02:27:45,000
Wilhelm trying to send the tie.

2091
02:27:45,000 --> 02:27:48,000
Get out the far.

2092
02:27:48,000 --> 02:27:52,000
Two to six now, a very quick left-handed hitter.

2093
02:27:52,000 --> 02:27:54,000
Here's the knuckleball, swung on and punched foul again.

2094
02:27:54,000 --> 02:27:56,000
Looking down the left-hander line.

2095
02:27:56,000 --> 02:27:59,000
That goes into the tie-down play.

2096
02:27:59,000 --> 02:28:00,000
That saves the two and twos.

2097
02:28:00,000 --> 02:28:01,000
Wilhelm puts the tie on the match.

2098
02:28:01,000 --> 02:28:22,000
He's giving Wilhelm a workout.

2099
02:28:22,000 --> 02:28:23,000
Now away to the yard again.

2100
02:28:23,000 --> 02:28:25,000
It's a good time, stocking battered box.

2101
02:28:25,000 --> 02:28:26,000
Wilhelm, that's his winner.

2102
02:28:26,000 --> 02:28:27,000
Goes to the top of the stretch.

2103
02:28:27,000 --> 02:28:29,000
Comes down, has a take, kicks and blows.

2104
02:28:29,000 --> 02:28:32,000
Knuckleball, swung on, he goes back to the yard.

2105
02:28:32,000 --> 02:28:35,000
Wilhelm has a par space base for Roddy Rockman.

2106
02:28:35,000 --> 02:28:38,000
Focus out on the enemy hook.

2107
02:28:38,000 --> 02:28:42,000
So Wilhelm comes on here to get the last shot for Gordon Dunning.

2108
02:28:42,000 --> 02:28:46,000
The Indians body back, picking up one run.

2109
02:28:46,000 --> 02:28:47,000
On three base hits.

2110
02:28:47,000 --> 02:28:51,000
There were no errors and two men were left behind.

2111
02:28:51,000 --> 02:28:55,000
He's got the score here at the end of seven full innings of play.

2112
02:28:55,000 --> 02:29:02,000
Now they know that Giants seven and the Cleveland Indians four.

2113
02:29:02,000 --> 02:29:03,000
That's right.

2114
02:29:03,000 --> 02:29:07,000
Cleveland's doing these two teams a lot of hammer and tongs.

2115
02:29:07,000 --> 02:29:09,000
They're at Minnesota Stadium.

2116
02:29:09,000 --> 02:29:14,000
Seven or eight thousand, a hundred and two folks have come in here to see the excitement we've been telling you about.

2117
02:29:14,000 --> 02:29:19,000
And Cleveland Stadium here is one of the two perfectly proportioned ball stocks in the majors.

2118
02:29:19,000 --> 02:29:21,000
Quite a few of them here.

2119
02:29:21,000 --> 02:29:34,000
In the Third World Series record book, you see that a home run has to travel just as far and just as high to clear any fence in right field or right center as one in a comfortable direction in left field or left center.

2120
02:29:34,000 --> 02:29:38,000
And there's a many people saying that that should be in all ball stocks.

2121
02:29:38,000 --> 02:29:42,000
And if that be true, then the record should be much more even.

2122
02:29:42,000 --> 02:29:46,000
Ball law there has been a great move in that direction.

2123
02:29:46,000 --> 02:29:48,000
The ball stock here is a very fine one.

2124
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:51,000
The ball stock is at Chicago.

2125
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:55,000
The one down in Baltimore is going to be a ball stock that will have dimensions.

2126
02:29:55,000 --> 02:29:59,000
That is just about the trend.

2127
02:29:59,000 --> 02:30:03,000
Now, Gauffer has won the left field at the

2128
02:30:03,000 --> 02:30:05,000
and Gauffer has been on the pitch for the Cleveland Indians here in the eighth inning.

2129
02:30:05,000 --> 02:30:08,000
So Gauffer on the mound.

2130
02:30:08,000 --> 02:30:10,000
Gauffer the right-hander.

2131
02:30:10,000 --> 02:30:14,000
Lost yesterday's ball game so he's also won.

2132
02:30:14,000 --> 02:30:15,000
No win, one loss.

2133
02:30:15,000 --> 02:30:17,000
Won the World Series up until now.

2134
02:30:17,000 --> 02:30:20,000
So Gauffer comes on and Dane Polk remains out in left field.

2135
02:30:20,000 --> 02:30:23,000
Being on the back of Smith.

2136
02:30:23,000 --> 02:30:34,000
And the first man to come up here in the eighth inning for the New York Giants will be Dave Williams.

2137
02:30:34,000 --> 02:30:37,000
So moving to the top of the eighth inning with the Giants leading 74.

2138
02:30:37,000 --> 02:30:39,000
They left seven runs on nine hits.

2139
02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:41,000
That's committed two errors.

2140
02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:48,000
The Cleveland Indians four runs on five hits and they're up also two errors.

2141
02:30:48,000 --> 02:30:53,000
Dave Williams still looking for his first World Series base hit to go for 11.

2142
02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:57,000
Such a far successfully his last time out that was his fifth inning.

2143
02:30:57,000 --> 02:30:59,000
Comes on the right-hander's batter from Dallas.

2144
02:30:59,000 --> 02:31:09,000
Brings back from Bursfield fastball and takes it off the hips and sides to ball one.

2145
02:31:09,000 --> 02:31:13,000
Bursfield going around the trade with the big ball.

2146
02:31:13,000 --> 02:31:14,000
Picks and throws another fastball.

2147
02:31:14,000 --> 02:31:18,000
Williams cuts the foul off to the right of the plate.

2148
02:31:18,000 --> 02:31:21,000
Goes way back up into the second tier.

2149
02:31:21,000 --> 02:31:25,000
One ball and one strike.

2150
02:31:25,000 --> 02:31:26,000
That's a very number eight.

2151
02:31:26,000 --> 02:31:28,000
Giants having a front for three runs.

2152
02:31:28,000 --> 02:31:31,000
Trying to wind us up.

2153
02:31:31,000 --> 02:31:35,000
That's a very close and overhand curve at the end there for strikes and the count is one and two on Williams.

2154
02:31:35,000 --> 02:31:38,000
One ball and two strikes.

2155
02:31:38,000 --> 02:31:40,000
What's going to come back to go next?

2156
02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:48,000
It's going to be the pitcher Wilhelm.

2157
02:31:48,000 --> 02:31:49,000
First thing with fouls.

2158
02:31:49,000 --> 02:31:50,000
Got your curve in there low.

2159
02:31:50,000 --> 02:32:01,000
That's ball three.

2160
02:32:01,000 --> 02:32:02,000
That's air pumps.

2161
02:32:02,000 --> 02:32:03,000
Picks.

2162
02:32:03,000 --> 02:32:04,000
Throw a sweet tour.

2163
02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:06,000
Fastball inside off the knees.

2164
02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:09,000
That's a back six ball three.

2165
02:32:09,000 --> 02:32:13,000
That's first count on Williams with three balls and two strikes.

2166
02:32:13,000 --> 02:32:16,000
That's going to be a training, the first run up for the Giants.

2167
02:32:16,000 --> 02:32:19,000
Bursfield falling away out there at the end there.

2168
02:32:19,000 --> 02:32:20,000
Six counts.

2169
02:32:20,000 --> 02:32:22,000
Egan.

2170
02:32:22,000 --> 02:32:23,000
Three two pitches to plate.

2171
02:32:23,000 --> 02:32:24,000
Overhand curve.

2172
02:32:24,000 --> 02:32:25,000
Come on by Williams.

2173
02:32:25,000 --> 02:32:26,000
There's a long drive deep in the left field.

2174
02:32:26,000 --> 02:32:29,000
It's curving and it goes foul into the seat.

2175
02:32:29,000 --> 02:32:32,000
That's Mrs. Dana home run for Davy Williams.

2176
02:32:32,000 --> 02:32:36,000
She tagged that ball pretty well.

2177
02:32:36,000 --> 02:32:40,000
That's about as close as he'll ever come to making a home run and that's actually getting it.

2178
02:32:40,000 --> 02:32:46,000
You can see the kid's shoulder sort of sag when that ball first foul down at the 320 foot line.

2179
02:32:46,000 --> 02:32:48,000
Davy hasn't hit too many home runs this year.

2180
02:32:48,000 --> 02:32:51,000
Actually he's battled that stick all year long.

2181
02:32:51,000 --> 02:32:56,000
His batting percentage hasn't been anywhere near where he or the Giants think it should be.

2182
02:32:56,000 --> 02:32:59,000
But he's been really stuck to it all year long.

2183
02:32:59,000 --> 02:33:02,000
He's shot in the arm for the kid had that ball gone in.

2184
02:33:02,000 --> 02:33:05,000
Didn't quite make it.

2185
02:33:05,000 --> 02:33:06,000
Three two pitch drive.

2186
02:33:06,000 --> 02:33:08,000
I got to see an overhand fastball taken by Williams.

2187
02:33:08,000 --> 02:33:10,000
Blowing foul at the ball four.

2188
02:33:10,000 --> 02:33:13,000
Ball Williams gets some compensation by drawing the off.

2189
02:33:13,000 --> 02:33:16,000
Out front here the first base on balls.

2190
02:33:16,000 --> 02:33:18,000
First base on balls given up here.

2191
02:33:18,000 --> 02:33:20,000
And through the knee outside.

2192
02:33:20,000 --> 02:33:22,000
And Weston comes off.

2193
02:33:22,000 --> 02:33:25,000
He's going to pass the pass right field in the second inning.

2194
02:33:25,000 --> 02:33:26,000
He's got his batting in the run.

2195
02:33:26,000 --> 02:33:28,000
He's stuck out in the fourth.

2196
02:33:28,000 --> 02:33:30,000
Passed by the right field in the fifth.

2197
02:33:30,000 --> 02:33:31,000
He's driving his second run.

2198
02:33:31,000 --> 02:33:33,000
Well he's driven in a pair today.

2199
02:33:33,000 --> 02:33:36,000
And has gone 0-1 action.

2200
02:33:36,000 --> 02:33:38,000
Stuck out in the fourth inning.

2201
02:33:38,000 --> 02:33:41,000
Weston can give that ball for the right too.

2202
02:33:41,000 --> 02:33:44,000
Minnesota ball so glad about his bat.

2203
02:33:44,000 --> 02:33:45,000
Right there.

2204
02:33:45,000 --> 02:33:47,000
Firestorm and expecting the bunt.

2205
02:33:47,000 --> 02:33:49,000
The infield comes charging in.

2206
02:33:49,000 --> 02:33:50,000
It's the Giants running.

2207
02:33:50,000 --> 02:33:52,000
It's too close up against the uniforms now.

2208
02:33:52,000 --> 02:33:57,000
It's a fastball run.

2209
02:33:57,000 --> 02:33:59,000
He's got a jet up overhead here.

2210
02:33:59,000 --> 02:34:05,000
He's really going through a lot of tricks and tactics.

2211
02:34:05,000 --> 02:34:06,000
All set.

2212
02:34:06,000 --> 02:34:07,000
Weston scores off the bunt.

2213
02:34:07,000 --> 02:34:09,000
Both puts the bunt down the first base now.

2214
02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:10,000
And Wirtz plays it.

2215
02:34:10,000 --> 02:34:12,000
His only play is back to Avila covering at first base.

2216
02:34:12,000 --> 02:34:15,000
And Williams has to pass the pass down the second.

2217
02:34:15,000 --> 02:34:18,000
So Weston runs and takes the pass to the second.

2218
02:34:18,000 --> 02:34:19,000
Wirtz handling.

2219
02:34:19,000 --> 02:34:22,000
Avila taking it at first base.

2220
02:34:22,000 --> 02:34:25,000
So it's a 3-4 put out if you're scoring with it.

2221
02:34:25,000 --> 02:34:29,000
Williams runs for his position second and the batter coming up is quite well held.

2222
02:34:29,000 --> 02:34:30,000
Up ahead first at bat.

2223
02:34:30,000 --> 02:34:36,000
He came in and pitched one third of the seventh inning.

2224
02:34:36,000 --> 02:34:37,000
But moving up to the plate.

2225
02:34:37,000 --> 02:34:40,000
He's not a great shaker to the batsman.

2226
02:34:40,000 --> 02:34:46,000
And a friend wave at him anyway.

2227
02:34:46,000 --> 02:34:50,000
If you're looking into the last half of the eighth inning and would like to know who's coming up for Cleveland,

2228
02:34:50,000 --> 02:34:53,000
it'll be Avila, Joby, and Williams.

2229
02:34:53,000 --> 02:34:57,000
If you're looking at that order, anybody else neither, it'll be a bit worse.

2230
02:34:57,000 --> 02:35:01,000
I know many times putting in the ballpark folks like to look at the programs

2231
02:35:01,000 --> 02:35:04,000
and see who's going to come up the next inning.

2232
02:35:04,000 --> 02:35:05,000
Now they're ready.

2233
02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:08,000
So it's the real home of the Coons on the first pitch and dribbles it foul.

2234
02:35:08,000 --> 02:35:10,000
Off to the left of the plate, beat me down in the ground.

2235
02:35:10,000 --> 02:35:15,000
That's the second.

2236
02:35:15,000 --> 02:35:16,000
Seven runs, nine hits.

2237
02:35:16,000 --> 02:35:24,000
Good job.

2238
02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:25,000
Down the set.

2239
02:35:25,000 --> 02:35:27,000
Garcia overhands the pick.

2240
02:35:27,000 --> 02:35:28,000
Pass ball.

2241
02:35:28,000 --> 02:35:30,000
Fires with the knee to Wilhelm for a strike.

2242
02:35:30,000 --> 02:35:31,000
That's the second one.

2243
02:35:31,000 --> 02:35:34,000
Down they're going two.

2244
02:35:34,000 --> 02:35:36,000
Garcia checks his runner back at second.

2245
02:35:36,000 --> 02:35:37,000
Delivers the plate.

2246
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:39,000
Puts a swing on the Wilhelm and misses.

2247
02:35:39,000 --> 02:35:41,000
That's the pass ball.

2248
02:35:41,000 --> 02:35:43,000
Wilhelm goes down striking out for Garcia.

2249
02:35:43,000 --> 02:35:45,000
That's the second out here in the inning.

2250
02:35:45,000 --> 02:35:49,000
Garcia has walked him in, struck him out out.

2251
02:35:49,000 --> 02:35:53,000
About to coming up is Whitey Lachman hitting left handed.

2252
02:35:53,000 --> 02:35:56,000
Starting to flip batting around for New York.

2253
02:35:56,000 --> 02:35:58,000
Whitey hasn't hit a ball out of the infield today.

2254
02:35:58,000 --> 02:36:01,000
He's called out on strikes in the first inning, tapped back to Wurtz in the third

2255
02:36:01,000 --> 02:36:03,000
and was thrown out to the pitcher covering.

2256
02:36:03,000 --> 02:36:05,000
And with the reverse when he came up in the fourth inning,

2257
02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:09,000
he hit a smash back to the mound and was thrown out by the pitcher.

2258
02:36:09,000 --> 02:36:13,000
And in the sixth inning, rolled to Victor Wurtz for the first out of the sixth.

2259
02:36:13,000 --> 02:36:17,000
Whitey choking up on the bat handle, steps in.

2260
02:36:17,000 --> 02:36:19,000
Garcia checks Williams back at second.

2261
02:36:19,000 --> 02:36:21,000
Big ball chested right handed delivers.

2262
02:36:21,000 --> 02:36:23,000
There's a curve inside and low.

2263
02:36:23,000 --> 02:36:24,000
Right into the dirt.

2264
02:36:24,000 --> 02:36:25,000
Higgin comes up with a nice hit.

2265
02:36:25,000 --> 02:36:28,000
That's ball one.

2266
02:36:28,000 --> 02:36:31,000
The most sacrifice hits in a game held by Joe Pinker of Chicago,

2267
02:36:31,000 --> 02:36:34,000
but actually 1906.

2268
02:36:34,000 --> 02:36:38,000
And West Western is credited with three here this afternoon.

2269
02:36:38,000 --> 02:36:42,000
Two sacrifice flies to right hander sacrifice.

2270
02:36:42,000 --> 02:36:45,000
So I imagine that that will tie it up right.

2271
02:36:45,000 --> 02:36:52,000
The pitch to Whitey Lachman is over but low and this time it's two balls, no strikes.

2272
02:36:52,000 --> 02:36:56,000
Of course you know the sacrifice fly just came back into existence.

2273
02:36:56,000 --> 02:37:01,000
And it has to be figured along I would imagine with the tabulation of a sacrifice.

2274
02:37:01,000 --> 02:37:02,000
So Western has three.

2275
02:37:02,000 --> 02:37:05,000
That will tie Pinker.

2276
02:37:05,000 --> 02:37:07,000
Overhand pitch is swung around by Lachman and hits foul.

2277
02:37:07,000 --> 02:37:09,000
Off to the left of the plate.

2278
02:37:09,000 --> 02:37:10,000
Up into the second here out of goal.

2279
02:37:10,000 --> 02:37:24,000
Somebody humble that one and drops it back down to the lower deck.

2280
02:37:24,000 --> 02:37:26,000
Two ball one strike counter Lachman.

2281
02:37:26,000 --> 02:37:27,000
Two down.

2282
02:37:27,000 --> 02:37:31,000
Baby Williams still at second.

2283
02:37:31,000 --> 02:37:33,000
In comes the pitch.

2284
02:37:33,000 --> 02:37:34,000
Lachman takes it low.

2285
02:37:34,000 --> 02:37:43,000
That's ball three, three and one.

2286
02:37:43,000 --> 02:37:53,000
Williams driving away from second now waiting for Garcia to wheel that next pitch up to Lachman.

2287
02:37:53,000 --> 02:37:55,000
Garcia settles.

2288
02:37:55,000 --> 02:37:57,000
Looks at his runner and delivers the plate and overhand curve.

2289
02:37:57,000 --> 02:37:58,000
Lachman swings on it.

2290
02:37:58,000 --> 02:38:00,000
Hits a high fly ball to deep right field.

2291
02:38:00,000 --> 02:38:08,000
Wally Westlake back on the center track.

2292
02:38:08,000 --> 02:38:09,000
That's all here in the eighth inning for the Giants.

2293
02:38:09,000 --> 02:38:10,000
No runs, no hits.

2294
02:38:10,000 --> 02:38:11,000
No Cleveland errors.

2295
02:38:11,000 --> 02:38:16,000
One man, the sixth man, in the front of the Giants and going about eight times.

2296
02:38:16,000 --> 02:38:18,000
Throw the score at the end.

2297
02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:20,000
About seven and one half innings of play.

2298
02:38:20,000 --> 02:38:24,000
It's New York seven and Cleveland four.

2299
02:38:24,000 --> 02:38:33,000
Well, only one way to get crisp invigorating shaves that look fresh and feel that way too is with shaving cream and a Gillette razor.

2300
02:38:33,000 --> 02:38:38,000
Now that's why nine million Gillette razors were brought last year in these United States alone.

2301
02:38:38,000 --> 02:38:39,000
Just think of it.

2302
02:38:39,000 --> 02:38:42,000
That means one for every six men who shave.

2303
02:38:42,000 --> 02:38:46,000
Enough for the million or more young men who begin shaving each year.

2304
02:38:46,000 --> 02:38:52,000
Plus the men who discard other razors that don't give the comfort and convenience of the modern Gillette superstition.

2305
02:38:52,000 --> 02:38:56,000
To pick you up and make you look on top, you can't match a Gillette shave.

2306
02:38:56,000 --> 02:39:03,000
Buy a one-piece Gillette super speed razor that shaves so easily, changes blades so quickly, and comes simply by rinsing.

2307
02:39:03,000 --> 02:39:07,000
Complete with blue blade dispenser and styrene travel case, it's one dollar.

2308
02:39:07,000 --> 02:39:09,000
And hold everything.

2309
02:39:09,000 --> 02:39:16,000
With it, you'll get the new Gillette World Series Record Book, free.

2310
02:39:16,000 --> 02:39:23,000
Now to the last half of any number eight here in Cleveland. Has a total of just six more hours remaining.

2311
02:39:23,000 --> 02:39:26,000
We'll do something about free run deficit.

2312
02:39:26,000 --> 02:39:33,000
As we told you, the last half of the eighth inning, we'll find Bobby Avila, Larry Doby, and Al Rosen coming up in that order.

2313
02:39:33,000 --> 02:39:38,000
But Wilhelm has his work cut out for him. At least a whole list of them.

2314
02:39:38,000 --> 02:39:41,000
And a round of applause for Bobby Avila as he steps up to the plate.

2315
02:39:41,000 --> 02:39:45,000
A coaxer Cleveland trying to get something started and cooked up.

2316
02:39:45,000 --> 02:40:00,000
Wilhelm, the knuckleballer delivers, and there is that knuckle. It's high inside to Avila, for ball one.

2317
02:40:00,000 --> 02:40:03,000
Wilhelm ready, delivers again, Avila takes. There's the fastball.

2318
02:40:03,000 --> 02:40:06,000
Down across at the waist, first ball strike.

2319
02:40:06,000 --> 02:40:12,000
And the wind kicking up now from behind left center for you, blowing right across the diamond out behind first.

2320
02:40:12,000 --> 02:40:18,000
So to poke it into that breeze, you're going to have to hit the ball pretty stiffly.

2321
02:40:18,000 --> 02:40:21,000
Bobby Avila holds it free this afternoon. Wilhelm delivers, there's the knuckle.

2322
02:40:21,000 --> 02:40:24,000
Avila runs up, knocks the ball, takes the fix, and it's in there anyway.

2323
02:40:24,000 --> 02:40:27,000
Strike two.

2324
02:40:27,000 --> 02:40:29,000
Run ball, two strikes on Avila.

2325
02:40:29,000 --> 02:40:34,000
Doby on deck to follow.

2326
02:40:34,000 --> 02:40:40,000
Aggress and down in the bullpen, along with Johnny Antonelli going for the chance in case Wilhelm should have trouble.

2327
02:40:40,000 --> 02:40:42,000
White pitchers one and two.

2328
02:40:42,000 --> 02:40:45,000
Curveball, it's one-one, and this is just away from West Western.

2329
02:40:45,000 --> 02:40:48,000
He comes back to the screen, picks up, and throws.

2330
02:40:48,000 --> 02:40:53,000
The first base for the Blue Lanes there.

2331
02:40:53,000 --> 02:40:56,000
There's the first, a brilliant, on-the-wire one.

2332
02:40:56,000 --> 02:40:58,000
On the first strike.

2333
02:40:58,000 --> 02:41:02,000
And of course, it's going to be charged to the pitcher.

2334
02:41:02,000 --> 02:41:19,000
Avila will be charged to the pitcher for throwing that one wide.

2335
02:41:19,000 --> 02:41:22,000
So, hook well out, a charge with the error.

2336
02:41:22,000 --> 02:41:25,000
Throwing that one wide, way back to the screen.

2337
02:41:25,000 --> 02:41:26,000
Western couldn't hold it.

2338
02:41:26,000 --> 02:41:30,000
On strike three.

2339
02:41:30,000 --> 02:41:33,000
Avila went down the post.

2340
02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:37,000
Up the plate is Goebb, he takes the first pitch in there for a strike.

2341
02:41:37,000 --> 02:41:41,000
So, Avila.

2342
02:41:41,000 --> 02:41:48,000
Goes on on first base.

2343
02:41:48,000 --> 02:41:51,000
Well, that's the end of all game, and the way to get on.

2344
02:41:51,000 --> 02:41:53,000
There, Doby up there, is a round of the cross.

2345
02:41:53,000 --> 02:41:56,000
The woodland clapping starts to the stands here.

2346
02:41:56,000 --> 02:41:59,000
Wilhelm checks his runner at first, Bobby Avila.

2347
02:41:59,000 --> 02:42:01,000
Throw to the plate.

2348
02:42:01,000 --> 02:42:02,000
A knuckle that's outside.

2349
02:42:02,000 --> 02:42:05,000
As Doby starts to go and changes his mind.

2350
02:42:05,000 --> 02:42:16,000
One ball and one strike to count on the eye of Doby.

2351
02:42:16,000 --> 02:42:20,000
One ball, one strike to count on Doby.

2352
02:42:20,000 --> 02:42:23,000
Wilhelm in trouble, by his own making.

2353
02:42:23,000 --> 02:42:26,000
Delivers a knuckle, or Doby takes it low into the dirt.

2354
02:42:26,000 --> 02:42:27,000
That's ball two.

2355
02:42:27,000 --> 02:42:37,000
Two balls and one strike.

2356
02:42:37,000 --> 02:42:40,000
The Giants have seen here this afternoon their 7-0 lead.

2357
02:42:40,000 --> 02:42:45,000
Lindelbauer now to a three run lead at 7-4.

2358
02:42:45,000 --> 02:42:48,000
Wilhelm on here in trouble in the eighth inning.

2359
02:42:48,000 --> 02:42:51,000
Avila at first.

2360
02:42:51,000 --> 02:42:57,000
Doby is on.

2361
02:42:57,000 --> 02:42:58,000
That's your on.

2362
02:42:58,000 --> 02:42:59,000
That's the plate.

2363
02:42:59,000 --> 02:43:00,000
Takes the pitch outside.

2364
02:43:00,000 --> 02:43:01,000
That's ball three.

2365
02:43:01,000 --> 02:43:03,000
Two balls, one strike on Doby.

2366
02:43:03,000 --> 02:43:06,000
On the ball pan is Wiccan and Johnny Atamela going hard.

2367
02:43:06,000 --> 02:43:11,000
Johnny ready for the Giants.

2368
02:43:11,000 --> 02:43:14,000
Now one thing about it, these Indians haven't given up here this afternoon.

2369
02:43:14,000 --> 02:43:18,000
No battling.

2370
02:43:18,000 --> 02:43:20,000
Wilhelm ready for the three one pitch.

2371
02:43:20,000 --> 02:43:24,000
That's the ball two.

2372
02:43:24,000 --> 02:43:31,000
So instead of his knuckle, Wilhelm came in with his fast ball.

2373
02:43:31,000 --> 02:43:39,000
There it is, down on Doby.

2374
02:43:39,000 --> 02:43:41,000
Avila steps away from first base.

2375
02:43:41,000 --> 02:43:42,000
Will he be running three to eight?

2376
02:43:42,000 --> 02:43:43,000
Does not.

2377
02:43:43,000 --> 02:43:44,000
That's a swing arm.

2378
02:43:44,000 --> 02:43:45,000
There's a half-foul ball after third base time.

2379
02:43:45,000 --> 02:43:52,000
Thompson's going to get this one that's over behind the dugout, out of play.

2380
02:43:52,000 --> 02:44:00,000
Avila playing it safely down there, first base.

2381
02:44:00,000 --> 02:44:03,000
Now for the next three-two pitch on Larry Doby, the center fielder.

2382
02:44:03,000 --> 02:44:08,000
Avila on.

2383
02:44:08,000 --> 02:44:09,000
That's out of course.

2384
02:44:09,000 --> 02:44:11,000
Doby waits.

2385
02:44:11,000 --> 02:44:12,000
Wilhelm delivers.

2386
02:44:12,000 --> 02:44:13,000
There goes the other little pitchers.

2387
02:44:13,000 --> 02:44:15,000
Here we go.

2388
02:44:15,000 --> 02:44:17,000
That's one to rip right through the broadcasting booth.

2389
02:44:17,000 --> 02:44:19,000
Didn't hit you did it, Jimmy.

2390
02:44:19,000 --> 02:44:20,000
How about you?

2391
02:44:20,000 --> 02:44:21,000
Scared you all right?

2392
02:44:21,000 --> 02:44:22,000
Okay fellas.

2393
02:44:22,000 --> 02:44:24,000
I thought you would hit somebody.

2394
02:44:24,000 --> 02:44:28,000
Ripped right through the broadcasting booth.

2395
02:44:28,000 --> 02:44:30,000
Almost hit our start of session.

2396
02:44:30,000 --> 02:44:36,000
Frank Zuzalo in the face.

2397
02:44:36,000 --> 02:44:41,000
Three-two pitch now, coming up, Larry Doby.

2398
02:44:41,000 --> 02:44:43,000
Wilhelm ready, checks his runner.

2399
02:44:43,000 --> 02:44:44,000
Throws over, first base.

2400
02:44:44,000 --> 02:44:46,000
Keep Avila close.

2401
02:44:46,000 --> 02:44:51,000
Robbie was well enough on that last three-two delivery.

2402
02:44:51,000 --> 02:44:54,000
So was the crew up here in the broadcasting booth running.

2403
02:44:54,000 --> 02:44:56,000
The pitch, the other break, pitch swing arm there.

2404
02:44:56,000 --> 02:44:57,000
The line's out deep in the center field.

2405
02:44:57,000 --> 02:44:58,000
William Mays back is under.

2406
02:44:58,000 --> 02:45:00,000
It makes his throw all the way to first base.

2407
02:45:00,000 --> 02:45:03,000
And Avila has to hurry back.

2408
02:45:03,000 --> 02:45:04,000
Well Doby lines up.

2409
02:45:04,000 --> 02:45:05,000
William Mays in center.

2410
02:45:05,000 --> 02:45:08,000
We're at number one here in the eighth inning.

2411
02:45:08,000 --> 02:45:12,000
Still have a base runner.

2412
02:45:12,000 --> 02:45:15,000
Spongum really got us slowly now.

2413
02:45:15,000 --> 02:45:17,000
Just a little under two and a half hours old.

2414
02:45:17,000 --> 02:45:20,000
You know they passed the series game in history.

2415
02:45:20,000 --> 02:45:24,000
It was played with the Tigers and the Cubs back in 1908.

2416
02:45:24,000 --> 02:45:27,000
It lasted just an hour and 25 minutes.

2417
02:45:27,000 --> 02:45:31,000
With teams records like this, as well as all the important individual series records,

2418
02:45:31,000 --> 02:45:35,000
a handy source I know is, well, that's where I got this one.

2419
02:45:35,000 --> 02:45:42,000
In the threat world series record book.

2420
02:45:42,000 --> 02:45:44,000
Now we're home ready.

2421
02:45:44,000 --> 02:45:47,000
Breshtove, Flip Rosen.

2422
02:45:47,000 --> 02:45:53,000
He does the right hand hitter takes a curve inside under the chin for ball one.

2423
02:45:53,000 --> 02:45:55,000
Now Rosen, who hasn't caught the ball out of the injury on the side,

2424
02:45:55,000 --> 02:45:57,000
he's gone over three.

2425
02:45:57,000 --> 02:46:00,000
Runner first, one out, last half of the eighth.

2426
02:46:00,000 --> 02:46:02,000
Seven to four in favor of New York.

2427
02:46:02,000 --> 02:46:03,000
Knuckleball swung on the roads.

2428
02:46:03,000 --> 02:46:05,000
Rosen hammered him to let center field.

2429
02:46:05,000 --> 02:46:07,000
Bobby Avila, fast second.

2430
02:46:07,000 --> 02:46:08,000
He's on his way.

2431
02:46:08,000 --> 02:46:09,000
Coming in the third.

2432
02:46:09,000 --> 02:46:10,000
Willie Mays, up the ball, throws in.

2433
02:46:10,000 --> 02:46:11,000
Avila slides, he's safe at third.

2434
02:46:11,000 --> 02:46:31,000
Rosen, that's a win.

2435
02:46:31,000 --> 02:46:34,000
Leo DeRosa coming out of a giant dugout now.

2436
02:46:34,000 --> 02:46:39,000
Out the box to Holtwell Hell.

2437
02:46:39,000 --> 02:46:43,000
Right has ran to a snag here in the last half of the eighth inning.

2438
02:46:43,000 --> 02:46:45,000
The Indians have runners at first and third.

2439
02:46:45,000 --> 02:46:47,000
Second is open, one out.

2440
02:46:47,000 --> 02:46:49,000
Nick Wirtz is scheduled to beat about her,

2441
02:46:49,000 --> 02:46:52,000
and Leo DeRosa says let me go out there and talk to my pitcher.

2442
02:46:52,000 --> 02:46:56,000
Down the bullpen, it's Gwysum and Antonelli, both warmed and ready.

2443
02:46:56,000 --> 02:46:58,000
Should DeRosa need either one of them.

2444
02:46:58,000 --> 02:47:00,000
And I think he's going to bring in Jeremy Antonelli.

2445
02:47:00,000 --> 02:47:01,000
Yep, here he comes.

2446
02:47:01,000 --> 02:47:05,000
Johnny Antonelli is going to be called upon as the fireman here this afternoon.

2447
02:47:05,000 --> 02:47:08,000
So Wilhelm pitched one third of the seventh inning, pitched one third of the eighth inning.

2448
02:47:08,000 --> 02:47:13,000
He's pitched two thirds of the inning.

2449
02:47:13,000 --> 02:47:23,000
And coming on will be Johnny Antonelli.

2450
02:47:23,000 --> 02:47:26,000
Johnny Antonelli has won one ball game.

2451
02:47:26,000 --> 02:47:32,000
And the series, Johnny Young called up on Massachusetts, came called on again.

2452
02:47:32,000 --> 02:47:36,000
Antonelli in winning his ball game for New York,

2453
02:47:36,000 --> 02:47:39,000
the second game of the series that was back in the 30th of September.

2454
02:47:39,000 --> 02:47:42,000
The league concludes in Indians 3-1.

2455
02:47:42,000 --> 02:47:47,000
He gave them eight base hits.

2456
02:47:47,000 --> 02:47:52,000
They stranded 13 men on that afternoon.

2457
02:47:52,000 --> 02:47:59,000
Johnny Antonelli comes on in the lead.

2458
02:47:59,000 --> 02:48:03,000
That's the business is picking up in the Wigwall.

2459
02:48:03,000 --> 02:48:06,000
Antonelli comes on, hits the works.

2460
02:48:06,000 --> 02:48:11,000
Take Wilhelm out of the ball game.

2461
02:48:11,000 --> 02:48:13,000
Johnny Antonelli relieves him.

2462
02:48:13,000 --> 02:48:20,000
He's a fair kicker to the viewers by DeRosa.

2463
02:48:20,000 --> 02:48:22,000
He's drawing a few warm-up pitches down in the mound now.

2464
02:48:22,000 --> 02:48:24,000
What a number 43.

2465
02:48:24,000 --> 02:48:25,000
It's quite a lot of difference.

2466
02:48:25,000 --> 02:48:27,000
Johnny Antonelli's a fastball pitcher.

2467
02:48:27,000 --> 02:48:29,000
He's got a good curve and a good slider.

2468
02:48:29,000 --> 02:48:33,000
Weston and Fernando are catching the knuckleballs to put Wilhelm out.

2469
02:48:33,000 --> 02:48:39,000
Well, Jimmy Dudley, you said before this ball game started that we can expect a lot of fireworks.

2470
02:48:39,000 --> 02:48:41,000
I guess you're absolutely right.

2471
02:48:41,000 --> 02:48:56,000
Before I have to really pass away here to the courts, let's pause ten seconds for placement identification.

2472
02:48:56,000 --> 02:48:59,000
This is Mirage World, the radio network for all America.

2473
02:48:59,000 --> 02:49:12,000
This is WGN, your exclusive World Series station in Chicago.

2474
02:49:12,000 --> 02:49:14,000
Ripworth's standing just outside of better spots.

2475
02:49:14,000 --> 02:49:21,000
Well, Antonelli goes his warm-up pitches, gets field to my arm.

2476
02:49:21,000 --> 02:49:24,000
Things are sort of broken loose here for Cleveland in the fifth and the seventh.

2477
02:49:24,000 --> 02:49:29,000
They scored three times in the fifth, once in the seventh, and they're bidding here to score again in the eighth.

2478
02:49:29,000 --> 02:49:30,000
Ripworth's coming up.

2479
02:49:30,000 --> 02:49:33,000
There's one home run for the Cleveland Indians in this series.

2480
02:49:33,000 --> 02:49:38,000
The series would say a pick-up three.

2481
02:49:38,000 --> 02:49:43,000
Now, with anticipation, the fans are beginning to give applause for Victor Wirtz.

2482
02:49:43,000 --> 02:49:49,000
He represents a tying run for Cleveland.

2483
02:49:49,000 --> 02:49:56,000
I was on the first. I'll be available at third with one out and second open.

2484
02:49:56,000 --> 02:49:59,000
Four is seven to four and play for the Giants.

2485
02:49:59,000 --> 02:50:06,000
The Indians make it come right down to the wire.

2486
02:50:06,000 --> 02:50:08,000
Wirtz has eight base hits in this series.

2487
02:50:08,000 --> 02:50:11,000
He can get his length right now.

2488
02:50:11,000 --> 02:50:16,000
Ten is a record of base hits in a four-game series.

2489
02:50:16,000 --> 02:50:20,000
Of course, this would go more than four now.

2490
02:50:20,000 --> 02:50:27,000
Down comes the pitch to Wirtz, the fastball off the shoulder inside.

2491
02:50:27,000 --> 02:50:29,000
Come down those strikes on Wirtz.

2492
02:50:29,000 --> 02:50:31,000
Wirtz has three runs batted in.

2493
02:50:31,000 --> 02:50:34,000
Majestie has three runs batted in.

2494
02:50:34,000 --> 02:50:39,000
So they're tied in the RBI department in this series for Cleveland.

2495
02:50:39,000 --> 02:50:46,000
Anthony ready. Wirtz back and deals off the fastball.

2496
02:50:46,000 --> 02:50:52,000
One dollar, one strike as Anthony goes for the fastball.

2497
02:50:52,000 --> 02:50:58,000
Now we've got John McCall, the left-hander in the bullpen, and Mark Grissom, the right-hander for the Giants.

2498
02:50:58,000 --> 02:51:00,000
That is the first and third to Cleveland here in the last of the eighth.

2499
02:51:00,000 --> 02:51:01,000
One out.

2500
02:51:01,000 --> 02:51:02,000
Big word's up there.

2501
02:51:02,000 --> 02:51:05,000
This afternoon he's two to three, double and a single.

2502
02:51:05,000 --> 02:51:09,000
The curveball to him is overnice with the waste of his time.

2503
02:51:09,000 --> 02:51:11,000
A half-dollar chip.

2504
02:51:11,000 --> 02:51:15,000
He's good all the time and put in the change-up curve.

2505
02:51:15,000 --> 02:51:19,000
One ball and two strikes.

2506
02:51:19,000 --> 02:51:23,000
Also, this is going to be one wheeler, remember.

2507
02:51:23,000 --> 02:51:28,000
Show us which way the cat jumps in this one.

2508
02:51:28,000 --> 02:51:30,000
Lots of ball games in this series.

2509
02:51:30,000 --> 02:51:33,000
That's really been exciting.

2510
02:51:33,000 --> 02:51:36,000
Ratnello sets, delivers. It's a big curveball.

2511
02:51:36,000 --> 02:51:37,000
We'll see the misses.

2512
02:51:37,000 --> 02:51:39,000
Ball strike three.

2513
02:51:39,000 --> 02:51:41,000
That's the big out.

2514
02:51:41,000 --> 02:51:44,000
Ratnello comes on, strikeout Victor Wirtz.

2515
02:51:44,000 --> 02:51:46,000
That's the third strikeout against Cleveland.

2516
02:51:46,000 --> 02:51:56,000
The batter coming up now is Wally Wesley.

2517
02:51:56,000 --> 02:52:01,000
Wilson steps out in front of the plate and shots words of encouragement to John Ratnello.

2518
02:52:01,000 --> 02:52:04,000
Ratnello standing at third base, ready to step out now.

2519
02:52:04,000 --> 02:52:12,000
Wally Loppen goes back to his steaming depth and allows Al Rosen to take his lead at first.

2520
02:52:12,000 --> 02:52:15,000
And now he settles down in the position, checks his runners.

2521
02:52:15,000 --> 02:52:21,000
Here's the pitch into the plate and Westlake takes it low and outside for ball one.

2522
02:52:21,000 --> 02:52:25,000
Last half of the opening, Cleveland, two men on, two down.

2523
02:52:25,000 --> 02:52:29,000
Score seven to four in favor of the New York Giants.

2524
02:52:29,000 --> 02:52:33,000
They're trying to sweep this series in four.

2525
02:52:33,000 --> 02:52:39,000
Ratnello sets, kicks, throws a lot of curveball, slam foul down the third baseline.

2526
02:52:39,000 --> 02:52:51,000
Westlake scops, one ball and one strike.

2527
02:52:51,000 --> 02:52:54,000
Westlake, a big right hand hitter, feet wide spread apart.

2528
02:52:54,000 --> 02:52:59,000
Stands about three quarters deep at the plate.

2529
02:52:59,000 --> 02:53:02,000
Pretty much close up on it.

2530
02:53:02,000 --> 02:53:07,000
Ratnello asks Westlake for the sign again and gets it.

2531
02:53:07,000 --> 02:53:09,000
Avila taking a slight lead at third.

2532
02:53:09,000 --> 02:53:11,000
Now Linton's at lead.

2533
02:53:11,000 --> 02:53:12,000
Rosen is first.

2534
02:53:12,000 --> 02:53:17,000
Ratnello pitches fastball, swung on and hit foul.

2535
02:53:17,000 --> 02:53:22,000
Goes right back into the stands.

2536
02:53:22,000 --> 02:53:26,000
Down on Westlake is the ball and two strikes.

2537
02:53:26,000 --> 02:53:35,000
Score seven to four in favor of the Giants.

2538
02:53:35,000 --> 02:53:41,000
Seventy-eight thousand, a hundred and two pair of eyes looking on here this afternoon.

2539
02:53:41,000 --> 02:53:44,000
Waiting to see what Johnny Abnall is going to do.

2540
02:53:44,000 --> 02:53:47,000
Waiting to see what Wally Westlake is going to do.

2541
02:53:47,000 --> 02:53:50,000
Johnny checks his runners, delivers one and two.

2542
02:53:50,000 --> 02:53:53,000
A curve over for 12-strike three.

2543
02:53:53,000 --> 02:53:55,000
That had Westlake all tied up.

2544
02:53:55,000 --> 02:53:57,000
So Westlake is calling out on strikes.

2545
02:53:57,000 --> 02:54:00,000
After five to five here in the eighth, no runs.

2546
02:54:00,000 --> 02:54:05,000
There was one base hit, there was one error, there were two men left off.

2547
02:54:05,000 --> 02:54:07,000
So the score at the end of eight, four, and these are playing now.

2548
02:54:07,000 --> 02:54:13,000
It's New York seven and Cleveland four.

2549
02:54:13,000 --> 02:54:24,000
Do you show? Do you show? Do you show?

2550
02:54:24,000 --> 02:54:30,000
Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp and listen, this is how I do it.

2551
02:54:30,000 --> 02:54:33,000
Oh, Blade, do you have bladings? How are you big?

2552
02:54:33,000 --> 02:54:38,000
Oh, Blade, you better check. Please make sure you have enough.

2553
02:54:38,000 --> 02:54:43,000
Cause a worn out blade makes shaving mighty tough.

2554
02:54:43,000 --> 02:54:52,000
How are you big? Oh, Blade, you better look. You'll look too great with me.

2555
02:54:52,000 --> 02:54:54,000
It's to the top of the ninth inning.

2556
02:54:54,000 --> 02:54:57,000
And the first man up for the Giants will be Al Bindar.

2557
02:54:57,000 --> 02:55:00,000
We'll have Mueller and then Mays following it in that order.

2558
02:55:00,000 --> 02:55:04,000
Well, just a minute ago, we were talking with Jimmy Dudley.

2559
02:55:04,000 --> 02:55:09,000
And we're asking him some questions about what he could expect in the last portion of the ballgame.

2560
02:55:09,000 --> 02:55:13,000
Did he expect fireworks? And what did Jimmy Dudley tell us?

2561
02:55:13,000 --> 02:55:15,000
Well, Big Al, I thought you had it there for a while.

2562
02:55:15,000 --> 02:55:19,000
Those fireworks were in the making, but all of a sudden that Antonelli came on.

2563
02:55:19,000 --> 02:55:22,000
And you know something? He did today just what he did the other day.

2564
02:55:22,000 --> 02:55:25,000
Against the Indians, he had two men to stop in the lineup.

2565
02:55:25,000 --> 02:55:30,000
Those two men were Dobie and Wirtz, the two tough, long ball-hitting left-handers.

2566
02:55:30,000 --> 02:55:32,000
And he turned in the trick again today.

2567
02:55:32,000 --> 02:55:36,000
And yet, as so many people have said all over the world, they're probably still saying,

2568
02:55:36,000 --> 02:55:39,000
the ballgame is never over until the last man is out.

2569
02:55:39,000 --> 02:55:42,000
And there's three more outs to go for both teams.

2570
02:55:42,000 --> 02:55:47,000
Well, that's right, Jim. And the Giants are sending up now in the ninth inning Al Bindar,

2571
02:55:47,000 --> 02:55:51,000
John Mueller, and Willie Mays, and if anyone else has made a touch.

2572
02:55:51,000 --> 02:55:54,000
Al Bindar has had two for four here this afternoon, two singles for left field.

2573
02:55:54,000 --> 02:55:57,000
And he's facing Mike Garcia.

2574
02:55:57,000 --> 02:56:01,000
Yesterday he got a single off Mike in the third inning at the left center field.

2575
02:56:01,000 --> 02:56:04,000
One for two off Mike yesterday.

2576
02:56:04,000 --> 02:56:07,000
See how he fares today with the big right-hander.

2577
02:56:07,000 --> 02:56:11,000
Michael came on in relief in the ballgame.

2578
02:56:11,000 --> 02:56:14,000
Comes down with first pitch and it's swung on.

2579
02:56:14,000 --> 02:56:17,000
There's a long drive into center field. Good for a base hit.

2580
02:56:17,000 --> 02:56:19,000
O'Dark is on.

2581
02:56:19,000 --> 02:56:25,000
This is Alvin Dark's 16th World Series game, as Jimmy Dudley has already told you.

2582
02:56:25,000 --> 02:56:29,000
By the way, talking about World Series games, a guy we all know pretty well,

2583
02:56:29,000 --> 02:56:32,000
Jolton Joe DiMaggio, appeared in 51 World Series games.

2584
02:56:32,000 --> 02:56:34,000
That's an all-time record.

2585
02:56:34,000 --> 02:56:40,000
That even tops the Great Bay Brookes by ten games and Lou Gehrig by 17.

2586
02:56:40,000 --> 02:56:42,000
Mike Garcia pitching down to Don Mueller, who squares off,

2587
02:56:42,000 --> 02:56:43,000
funds the ball back to the mound.

2588
02:56:43,000 --> 02:56:47,000
Garcia has it, clips it over to Bobby Avila at the second baseman covering it first.

2589
02:56:47,000 --> 02:56:51,000
And Dark has been sacrificed on down.

2590
02:56:51,000 --> 02:56:53,000
So we have one Giant out here in the ninth inning.

2591
02:56:53,000 --> 02:56:59,000
They're playing for an insurance run.

2592
02:56:59,000 --> 02:57:02,000
Mays coming up to the plate.

2593
02:57:02,000 --> 02:57:12,000
And so you can find every player's World Series record in the new Gillette World Series record book.

2594
02:57:12,000 --> 02:57:15,000
Willie Mays moving in.

2595
02:57:15,000 --> 02:57:17,000
He has one hit in three times, a double.

2596
02:57:17,000 --> 02:57:20,000
Swings on this pitch and hits a one-hopper to Bobby Avila.

2597
02:57:20,000 --> 02:57:26,000
The play goes over to first base to Vic Wirtz as Alvin Dark moves on over to third.

2598
02:57:26,000 --> 02:57:32,000
So we have the second out here, hitting number nine, drives up at bat.

2599
02:57:32,000 --> 02:57:36,000
Hank Thompson coming up to the plate.

2600
02:57:36,000 --> 02:57:41,000
Thompson, who has walked a total of seven times,

2601
02:57:41,000 --> 02:57:49,000
has had one base hit, a scratch hit in the seventh inning, second base.

2602
02:57:49,000 --> 02:57:52,000
Thompson hitting left-handed.

2603
02:57:52,000 --> 02:57:54,000
Garcia over his head, pumps, throws the fastball.

2604
02:57:54,000 --> 02:57:55,000
There's another bounding ball.

2605
02:57:55,000 --> 02:57:56,000
This one hit down to second.

2606
02:57:56,000 --> 02:58:00,000
Avila has it on the second hop, throws to first, and the inning is over.

2607
02:58:00,000 --> 02:58:03,000
So for the Giants, they have Alvin Dark open with a single to center,

2608
02:58:03,000 --> 02:58:05,000
but he goes to third and gets no farther.

2609
02:58:05,000 --> 02:58:06,000
No runs, one hit.

2610
02:58:06,000 --> 02:58:08,000
The Giants had one man left on.

2611
02:58:08,000 --> 02:58:11,000
That was their seventh left on here this afternoon.

2612
02:58:11,000 --> 02:58:13,000
And there were no Cleveland Bears.

2613
02:58:13,000 --> 02:58:16,000
So the score at the end of eight and one-half and he's a play.

2614
02:58:16,000 --> 02:58:20,000
It's New York 7 and Cleveland 4.

2615
02:58:20,000 --> 02:58:22,000
When the last man is out here in this ballgame,

2616
02:58:22,000 --> 02:58:26,000
Bill Corm, one of the nation's number one sports columnists,

2617
02:58:26,000 --> 02:58:30,000
will make a mad dive for the press box to get up here to the broadcasting booth.

2618
02:58:30,000 --> 02:58:32,000
He'll be primed with the expert's view of the game,

2619
02:58:32,000 --> 02:58:36,000
not only his own but that of the other top newspaper guys.

2620
02:58:36,000 --> 02:58:38,000
You'll get a new picture of the game when you hear him.

2621
02:58:38,000 --> 02:58:53,000
Stay tuned now for Bill Corm, will you?

2622
02:58:53,000 --> 02:58:54,000
Now for the last half, opening number nine.

2623
02:58:54,000 --> 02:58:56,000
Johnny Antonelli comes out.

2624
02:58:56,000 --> 02:59:00,000
Just a little note we'd like to pass on to you.

2625
02:59:00,000 --> 02:59:03,000
The most men left on bases, the record that is,

2626
02:59:03,000 --> 02:59:06,000
in World Series play for a four-game series,

2627
02:59:06,000 --> 02:59:08,000
64 men left on by both teams.

2628
02:59:08,000 --> 02:59:11,000
That was the Yankees and the Cubs in 1932.

2629
02:59:11,000 --> 02:59:18,000
And these two teams here playing in this World Series have already tied that one.

2630
02:59:18,000 --> 02:59:20,000
The last half of the ninth inning, Sam Dente,

2631
02:59:20,000 --> 02:59:22,000
is going to be the first man up for Cleveland.

2632
02:59:22,000 --> 02:59:25,000
They have four runs on six bases, six and two errors.

2633
02:59:25,000 --> 02:59:27,000
Four, six, two. Four Cleveland.

2634
02:59:27,000 --> 02:59:32,000
Let's see, they have left one, two, three, four, five men so far.

2635
02:59:32,000 --> 02:59:36,000
Five men have been left on. The Giants have stranded seven.

2636
02:59:36,000 --> 02:59:38,000
First pitch by Johnny Antonelli to Sam Dente.

2637
02:59:38,000 --> 02:59:41,000
It's a fast ball. It's outside for ball one.

2638
02:59:41,000 --> 02:59:46,000
Seven runs, ten hits, three errors for New York.

2639
02:59:46,000 --> 02:59:50,000
Seven left.

2640
02:59:50,000 --> 02:59:53,000
Next pitch by Antonelli is another fast ball.

2641
02:59:53,000 --> 02:59:57,000
It's high for ball two, and Dente's count now is two balls, no strikes.

2642
02:59:57,000 --> 02:59:59,000
Last half of the ninth inning, Dente, Hegan,

2643
02:59:59,000 --> 03:00:06,000
and probably a pinch better for Garcia.

2644
03:00:06,000 --> 03:00:08,000
In comes the pitch to Dente.

2645
03:00:08,000 --> 03:00:21,000
Antonelli's fast ball is good at the knees for a strike.

2646
03:00:21,000 --> 03:00:26,000
Antonelli tries again, and Dente strides into a lot of fast ball.

2647
03:00:26,000 --> 03:00:37,000
Takes it high for ball three. Three balls, one strike.

2648
03:00:37,000 --> 03:00:43,000
Plus Weston takes his sign from the dugout, relays it on out to Antonelli.

2649
03:00:43,000 --> 03:00:45,000
Gets down, pops the mid up as a target.

2650
03:00:45,000 --> 03:00:48,000
Antonelli starts his pumping motion for the three-one pitch.

2651
03:00:48,000 --> 03:00:51,000
Rears back, deals it off. Fast ball outside for ball four.

2652
03:00:51,000 --> 03:00:54,000
So Sam Dente opens the ninth, little off.

2653
03:00:54,000 --> 03:00:56,000
Off Antonelli, that's the first place on balls,

2654
03:00:56,000 --> 03:00:58,000
and Strangeling up and with the second.

2655
03:00:58,000 --> 03:01:05,000
The Indians have picked up here this afternoon.

2656
03:01:05,000 --> 03:01:07,000
That's Jim Hegan, Leo DeRoscher.

2657
03:01:07,000 --> 03:01:10,000
Lost the time, comes out, wants to talk to his catcher.

2658
03:01:10,000 --> 03:01:13,000
Not his catcher, he wants to talk to West Weston.

2659
03:01:13,000 --> 03:01:17,000
West has cut the entire series.

2660
03:01:17,000 --> 03:01:24,000
DeRoscher standing in the circle just off the left home plate.

2661
03:01:24,000 --> 03:01:30,000
Bumping their gums together and cooking up a little strategy for Jim Hegan and the Indians.

2662
03:01:30,000 --> 03:01:33,000
Sam Dente, open the ninth with a walk.

2663
03:01:33,000 --> 03:01:35,000
Hegan coming up there.

2664
03:01:35,000 --> 03:01:38,000
Hegan himself walked in the third.

2665
03:01:38,000 --> 03:01:40,000
Was a baserunner in the fifth on an error.

2666
03:01:40,000 --> 03:01:42,000
And singled the left in the seventh.

2667
03:01:42,000 --> 03:01:45,000
So he's had one for two today.

2668
03:01:45,000 --> 03:01:47,000
Super 12 all told in the series.

2669
03:01:47,000 --> 03:01:48,000
An overhand fastball to Jim.

2670
03:01:48,000 --> 03:01:49,000
It's pulled right through off the fifth.

2671
03:01:49,000 --> 03:01:53,000
Good first strike.

2672
03:01:53,000 --> 03:01:54,000
No balls, one strike.

2673
03:01:54,000 --> 03:01:57,000
It's a count on Jim Hegan.

2674
03:01:57,000 --> 03:02:00,000
Right down to the last three outs for Cleveland.

2675
03:02:00,000 --> 03:02:04,000
The Sands are really running through the arc last night.

2676
03:02:04,000 --> 03:02:05,000
An overhand run up pitch is swung on.

2677
03:02:05,000 --> 03:02:07,000
A pop foul off to the right of the plate.

2678
03:02:07,000 --> 03:02:08,000
There comes Wadie Loughman in.

2679
03:02:08,000 --> 03:02:10,000
He calls for it and Weston falls away

2680
03:02:10,000 --> 03:02:13,000
and allows Loughman to come all the way down from first to make the catch and foul territory.

2681
03:02:13,000 --> 03:02:15,000
Of course Dente holds on at first.

2682
03:02:15,000 --> 03:02:16,000
That was a little number.

2683
03:02:16,000 --> 03:02:19,000
A little pop foul off to the right of the plate.

2684
03:02:19,000 --> 03:02:21,000
Weston would have had a tough time with that one.

2685
03:02:21,000 --> 03:02:23,000
Wadie Loughman had to jump on the ball.

2686
03:02:23,000 --> 03:02:27,000
And run it on through.

2687
03:02:27,000 --> 03:02:30,000
All right, we're going to have a bench fighter now for Garcia.

2688
03:02:30,000 --> 03:02:37,000
Dave Philly.

2689
03:02:37,000 --> 03:02:41,000
He's a switcher.

2690
03:02:41,000 --> 03:02:46,000
Fouting here in the ninth inning for Mike Garcia.

2691
03:02:46,000 --> 03:02:48,000
One out, one on.

2692
03:02:48,000 --> 03:02:50,000
Score seven to four in favor of the New York Giants.

2693
03:02:50,000 --> 03:02:53,000
They have seven runs on ten hits, three errors.

2694
03:02:53,000 --> 03:02:54,000
The Indians four runs, six hits.

2695
03:02:54,000 --> 03:02:59,000
They have two errors.

2696
03:02:59,000 --> 03:03:02,000
Giants trying to sweep it in four.

2697
03:03:02,000 --> 03:03:07,000
The member serves me rightly, Mr. Corum, told us before this series started to look out for something like this.

2698
03:03:07,000 --> 03:03:08,000
There's a fastball.

2699
03:03:08,000 --> 03:03:17,000
Fired to Philly, hitting right handed and he swings and it doesn't get it.

2700
03:03:17,000 --> 03:03:19,000
Dave Philly standing just off the plate.

2701
03:03:19,000 --> 03:03:22,000
Keeps his feet pretty much together.

2702
03:03:22,000 --> 03:03:24,000
At Nellie, very careful with his delivery.

2703
03:03:24,000 --> 03:03:25,000
Looks at Dente at first.

2704
03:03:25,000 --> 03:03:26,000
Delivers a lot of pitch to the plate.

2705
03:03:26,000 --> 03:03:27,000
Philly swings and misses.

2706
03:03:27,000 --> 03:03:29,000
All strike two.

2707
03:03:29,000 --> 03:03:36,000
Dave is going to hit that one clear out into Lake Erie.

2708
03:03:36,000 --> 03:03:44,000
Sam Dente is not being held on at first base by Wiley-Lockman.

2709
03:03:44,000 --> 03:03:48,000
So the result is that Sam can take a pretty good lead.

2710
03:03:48,000 --> 03:03:59,000
I'd like to say once again, here's we have the opportunity that the umpires that have been assigned here have done a magnificent job in calling the plays in this series.

2711
03:03:59,000 --> 03:04:00,000
Now the O2 delivery.

2712
03:04:00,000 --> 03:04:02,000
An overhand fastball off the face.

2713
03:04:02,000 --> 03:04:15,000
Little high for ball one. One ball and two strikes.

2714
03:04:15,000 --> 03:04:16,000
Now we're set.

2715
03:04:16,000 --> 03:04:17,000
At Nellie checks his runner Dente.

2716
03:04:17,000 --> 03:04:18,000
Delivers the play to fastball.

2717
03:04:18,000 --> 03:04:20,000
Philly swings and misses for strike three.

2718
03:04:20,000 --> 03:04:21,000
And that's all for Dave.

2719
03:04:21,000 --> 03:04:23,000
Finch batting for Garcia.

2720
03:04:23,000 --> 03:04:25,000
At Nellie, strikeout number two.

2721
03:04:25,000 --> 03:04:29,000
The fourth man to go down in the Cleveland batting order by strikeout.

2722
03:04:29,000 --> 03:04:31,000
Dave Pope.

2723
03:04:31,000 --> 03:04:36,000
Who batted in the seventh inning for Al Smith and stayed on the play in left field in the eighth.

2724
03:04:36,000 --> 03:04:38,000
Maybe that's a Dale Mitchell. Yes he is.

2725
03:04:38,000 --> 03:04:51,000
Dale Mitchell was coming on the bat here in the ninth inning.

2726
03:04:51,000 --> 03:04:53,000
What kind of batting Dale Mitchell comes on?

2727
03:04:53,000 --> 03:04:59,000
The bat for Pope who batted for Smith in the seventh.

2728
03:04:59,000 --> 03:05:02,000
The attendance as we are told here is 78,000.

2729
03:05:02,000 --> 03:05:05,000
Here is the boost of the total.

2730
03:05:05,000 --> 03:05:08,000
The ball going to 161,507.

2731
03:05:08,000 --> 03:05:10,000
The pass is directed to established 1927.

2732
03:05:10,000 --> 03:05:19,000
That record going to be 201,705 between Pittsburgh and the New York Yankees back in 1927.

2733
03:05:19,000 --> 03:05:20,000
Now at Nellie the pitch to Dale Mitchell.

2734
03:05:20,000 --> 03:05:23,000
He swings on the first pitch to Dale and touches a foul.

2735
03:05:23,000 --> 03:05:24,000
That act is a lot to buy broadcasting.

2736
03:05:24,000 --> 03:05:29,000
Dave right up over on your left microphone.

2737
03:05:29,000 --> 03:05:30,000
Last half of the ninth inning.

2738
03:05:30,000 --> 03:05:34,000
One on, two out.

2739
03:05:34,000 --> 03:05:37,000
Starts from right down to the last out.

2740
03:05:37,000 --> 03:05:47,000
1954 World Series drawing rapidly to a conclusion right here at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland.

2741
03:05:47,000 --> 03:05:48,000
That now is set.

2742
03:05:48,000 --> 03:05:52,000
Brothers a curve taken by Mitchell over for a second.

2743
03:05:52,000 --> 03:05:54,000
That was a great big jib handle curve.

2744
03:05:54,000 --> 03:05:58,000
Mitchell fell away from it and slipped right over.

2745
03:05:58,000 --> 03:06:03,000
Dale one of the nice guys in business out of Oklahoma City.

2746
03:06:03,000 --> 03:06:07,000
Down and in.

2747
03:06:07,000 --> 03:06:09,000
Ready for the row to pitch.

2748
03:06:09,000 --> 03:06:11,000
Gently leaps away from first.

2749
03:06:11,000 --> 03:06:12,000
Seven four score giant.

2750
03:06:12,000 --> 03:06:14,000
At Nellie's pitching.

2751
03:06:14,000 --> 03:06:15,000
Higher on the inside.

2752
03:06:15,000 --> 03:06:18,000
McHale one ball two strikes.

2753
03:06:18,000 --> 03:06:21,000
Mitchell batting for Pope.

2754
03:06:21,000 --> 03:06:27,000
And Nellie trying to close it out and pick the win up for Liddell.

2755
03:06:27,000 --> 03:06:33,000
If it should end this way, Lemon will be charged with a second loss in the 54th period.

2756
03:06:33,000 --> 03:06:37,000
Lemon, Neuhausen, Nalersky, Martin, Garcia have all worked.

2757
03:06:37,000 --> 03:06:38,000
Set on curve ball.

2758
03:06:38,000 --> 03:06:41,000
Swing on and top down the third base man Hank Trotkin comes over and fouls.

2759
03:06:41,000 --> 03:06:46,000
Gets the ball and the Giants are the World Champions of 1954.

2760
03:06:46,000 --> 03:06:47,000
That's it.

2761
03:06:47,000 --> 03:06:48,000
It's all over.

2762
03:06:48,000 --> 03:06:51,000
Johnny Atteneley does it.

2763
03:06:51,000 --> 03:06:52,000
And there they are.

2764
03:06:52,000 --> 03:06:54,000
The Marlins are at Justin McJohn and Atteneley right now.

2765
03:06:54,000 --> 03:06:58,000
While the Panthers score the New York Giants seven runs, ten hooks, three errors.

2766
03:06:58,000 --> 03:07:01,000
The Cleveland Indians four runs, six hits, two errors.

2767
03:07:01,000 --> 03:07:02,000
The winning pitcher is John Little.

2768
03:07:02,000 --> 03:07:04,000
The losing pitcher is Bob Lemon.

2769
03:07:04,000 --> 03:07:10,000
Now in just a moment Bill Cohn will review the highlights of today's game for us.

2770
03:07:10,000 --> 03:07:21,000
The new VIV lipstick by Tony.

2771
03:07:21,000 --> 03:07:23,000
Yes because VIV is a new kind of lipstick.

2772
03:07:23,000 --> 03:07:26,000
Never before a lipstick so red.

2773
03:07:26,000 --> 03:07:29,000
No never before a lipstick so red.

2774
03:07:29,000 --> 03:07:32,000
In six vivid red shades, from pink to plum.

2775
03:07:32,000 --> 03:07:34,000
One shade is redder than a fire engine.

2776
03:07:34,000 --> 03:07:36,000
Another is redder than a rose.

2777
03:07:36,000 --> 03:07:42,000
Each new shade is more vivid than reds have ever been before because they have a new depth of color.

2778
03:07:42,000 --> 03:07:45,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

2779
03:07:45,000 --> 03:07:48,000
It makes you look and feel so vividly alive.

2780
03:07:48,000 --> 03:07:51,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

2781
03:07:51,000 --> 03:07:58,000
VIV stays on yet keeps your lips soft, moist and smooth because VIV is the comfortable long lasting lipstick.

2782
03:07:58,000 --> 03:08:02,000
See what VIV, the really vivid lipstick can do for you.

2783
03:08:02,000 --> 03:08:05,000
VIV makes you look so wonderful.

2784
03:08:05,000 --> 03:08:11,000
VIV, new VIV lipstick by Tony.

2785
03:08:11,000 --> 03:08:14,000
Well the Giants did with a play didn't they?

2786
03:08:14,000 --> 03:08:23,000
For the first time since the 1914 Miracle Waves against the Athletics and the second time in World Series baseball history,

2787
03:08:23,000 --> 03:08:27,000
the National League team has won a World Series in 4th State Games.

2788
03:08:27,000 --> 03:08:31,000
It's been a couple of games, a series where it was 4-0 in a tie,

2789
03:08:31,000 --> 03:08:36,000
one by the American League and one by the National, or maybe both by the National, but it doesn't matter.

2790
03:08:36,000 --> 03:08:42,000
This is the second team ever they sweep for and that was way back in 1914 when the Braves did it.

2791
03:08:42,000 --> 03:08:46,000
This is a good ball team, but not a great one in this World Series.

2792
03:08:46,000 --> 03:08:52,000
Fine kicking, how about that little 23 year old kid from Massachusetts named Johnny Annanelli

2793
03:08:52,000 --> 03:08:58,000
who walked out there in the finish in trouble brood and they had to hold that lead that they had built up in the early innings

2794
03:08:58,000 --> 03:09:02,000
from 1.7 to nothing and struck out three men in the last two innings.

2795
03:09:02,000 --> 03:09:07,000
The Pudas chasing in the eighth and winning the ninth and then finally a music pop up to Hank Thompson

2796
03:09:07,000 --> 03:09:11,000
to send the Giants home singing in the sunshine.

2797
03:09:11,000 --> 03:09:19,000
Now I may be on you a little bit later, but right now I want to wish to thank our engineers Jim Wigan and Al Ravdick,

2798
03:09:19,000 --> 03:09:27,000
our statistician, Greg Giro and this program was directed and produced under the supervision of mutual sports director, Paul Jonas.

2802
03:09:44,000 --> 03:09:58,000
And now to wind up this World Series World Cup let's pick up Flanky Flake and some of those victorious Giants in their dressing room.

2803
03:09:58,000 --> 03:10:15,000
We're in the Giants Clubhouse, the World Champions and before we have the captain of the Giants, Mr. Alvin Dock, high five for the most valuable player of the year. Alvin congratulations, you did a wonderful job. What about this World Cup?

2804
03:10:15,000 --> 03:10:21,000
Oh it's been great, everyone on the ball has done a wonderful job, I'm just proud of everybody.

2805
03:10:21,000 --> 03:10:32,000
Oh you did a wonderful job, Alvin what are you going to do this winter? I'm going to work for Megabore, my company, out of Houston, Texas. Great, congratulations, get my best of your parents, thank you guys.

2806
03:10:32,000 --> 03:10:55,000
Here now let's get Mr. Leo, Leo D'Orocha, and oh this club did a tremendous job and it's marvelous to have the way these boys played, it was terrific. Hey, Monty, Monty Urban, come on over here.

2807
03:10:55,000 --> 03:11:04,000
Monty, come on out here. Hey what did you hit Monty? What did you hit those balls with today? I hit a fast ball with curve ball.

2808
03:11:04,000 --> 03:11:26,000
Really felt good, I'm real happy right now. Now I've got to get Mr. Harris Donovan over here. Mr. Commissioner won't you come up here please. Oh he's got a little commotion here. And the Commissioner of Baseball, Mr. Frank.

2809
03:11:26,000 --> 03:11:39,000
Look at this, what a terrific series Frank, it really was a marvelous series, the Giants played a beautiful ball, Cleveland I know is kind of downhearted, I do feel that that club probably is a much better club than they showed out there, but what a terrific series.

2810
03:11:39,000 --> 03:11:53,000
It was an interesting series, thank you very much Mr. Commissioner of Baseball Frank. Now I'd like to have Mr. Warren Giles, the President of the National League. Warren Giles, this is terrific, this is terrific, this is great.

2811
03:11:53,000 --> 03:12:02,000
It's great for a great reason, what did you think of your ball club? Wonderful, I knew they were in all the way but I wasn't sure about four but I think it's great.

2812
03:12:02,000 --> 03:12:16,000
Mr. Giles, didn't you think this was sort of an underrated ball club all year long? Has been all along, they've been tugging along, they've had a lot of guts, they've been a solid ball club that's made very few mistakes. Thank you Mr. President.

2813
03:12:16,000 --> 03:12:35,000
Hey Leo, come on up here. Here's a fellow who did a terrific job. Hey Leo, boy we're having a lot of fun in this clubhouse and before I have Leo say a few words I want to say a few words to Leo.

2814
03:12:35,000 --> 03:12:52,000
You did a tremendous job Val and you did it, you worked hard all year, you were a great leader with a fine ball club, congratulations. Well Frank, I certainly am Frank and I've always dreamed and had an ambition to be on the same club that won a World Championship to be part of it.

2815
03:12:52,000 --> 03:13:07,000
And I really am deeply grateful for the New York players and I'm sure Mr. Stoneman and all the New York fans out here Frank, they were wonderful all year and it was a great thing. Everything we did seemed to be right and everything that the Cleveland club seemed to be wrong and go against them.

2816
03:13:07,000 --> 03:13:24,000
I will say that my pitchers, pitchers, the players were great and I'm very thankful to the New York ball club. Bye Leo, hey let me get a little kiss up here now Leo. Can I get a kiss up here? Come on Donald.

2817
03:13:24,000 --> 03:13:48,000
How did you think your daddy did? He said bye Leo. I'm going to get Horace if I can. I've got to get Mr. Horace Stoneman here. Great folks, we're going to have a great time here in the clubhouse and thanks and I hope you fans have enjoyed hearing from the very happy New York Giants.

2818
03:13:48,000 --> 03:13:59,000
The series is over but the Cavalcade of the sport is on every Friday night. Gillette airs the major boxing bout of the week. Thank you folks.

2819
03:13:59,000 --> 03:14:13,000
Try to tune in and enjoy the fun. This is the old flash, the smooth coloring, smooth shaving and good afternoon from your host, the Gillette Safety Razor Company.

2820
03:14:13,000 --> 03:14:19,000
The third state game for the All-State Roundup was Bill Cern, Marty Marion and Pete Hibbett, which follows in a few moments.

2821
03:14:19,000 --> 03:14:28,000
Then 15 minutes from now you'll hear the Camel football lineup and Newtwills broadcast of the gridiron game of the week, Purdue versus Notre Dame.

2822
03:14:28,000 --> 03:14:33,000
This is Newtwills, the radio network for all America.

2823
03:14:33,000 --> 03:14:45,000
WGN, the Chicago Tribune station. You know the Giants and the Indians are terrific teams but another all-star lineup that will give you a thrill is Coalfinder's lineup of brand new mercuries for immediate delivery.

2829
03:15:25,000 --> 03:15:36,000

2830
03:15:36,000 --> 03:15:40,000
Hello baseball fans everywhere. This is Bob Elston again, studying for Bill Stern.

2831
03:15:40,000 --> 03:15:50,000
Well, it's all over with the Shouting and the Giants, our new world baseball champion. It's been a thrilling series, one that baseball will be talking about for a long time to come.

2832
03:15:50,000 --> 03:16:02,000
And right now we're going to get to professional opinions of managers Bertie Pettis of the Cincinnati Redlegs and Lonnie Marion of the Chicago White Sox on how this year's football series looks through the eyes of a big league manager.

2833
03:16:02,000 --> 03:16:07,000
Your host as always is your friend and neighbor, your off-state insurance company agent.

2834
03:16:07,000 --> 03:16:16,000
I'll have more to say about him later, but I'll tell you why he's one of the nation's most successful insurance men and a mighty good man to know and do business with.

2835
03:16:16,000 --> 03:16:22,000
And why Bill Stern always says, you're in good hands if your off-state is up at the edge.

2836
03:16:22,000 --> 03:16:32,000
But right now let's join Bertie and Lonnie for a final review of the 1954 Earl of Cury and the two big league managers' thoughts.

2837
03:16:32,000 --> 03:16:38,000
First we want to send our good wishes and congratulations to manager DeRosha and the New York Giants.

2838
03:16:38,000 --> 03:16:42,000
And we've heard the jubilation in the Giants' clubhouse.

2839
03:16:42,000 --> 03:16:51,000
Bertie, I'm wondering, and perhaps the fans are too, what the feeling must be like in the clubhouse of a loser that has just lost the World Series in fourth grade.

2840
03:16:51,000 --> 03:17:03,000
Well, I went through that in 1940. We didn't lose in fourth grade games, but it's just a feeling of loneliness and frustration and the feeling that we'll do it next year.

2841
03:17:03,000 --> 03:17:08,000
It's just something that's indescribable. It's a great luck down because the World Series is a great thrill.

2842
03:17:08,000 --> 03:17:12,000
Lonnie, have you expressed that? Have you been on the leading team in the World Series?

2843
03:17:12,000 --> 03:17:17,000
Yes, Bob, one time back in 1943 when the Institute is. That was the only time.

2844
03:17:17,000 --> 03:17:25,000
But just like Barry said, it's a great luck down. Everybody's taking names today and saying hello, boys, and good-bye, and it's a way to do it next year. That's about it.

2845
03:17:25,000 --> 03:17:31,000
Well, that's one thing about baseball and sports. It's part of a game. There has to be a winner and there has to be a loser.

2846
03:17:31,000 --> 03:17:36,000
And to be a great disloyal loser is just as important as winning as long as you're going to have to lose.

2847
03:17:36,000 --> 03:17:41,000
Now, the Giants really won this series, and they won it in Sadiqe. Bertie, what did you think of the game today?

2848
03:17:41,000 --> 03:17:48,000
Well, I thought it was quite a ballgame from the point of view of excitement, and as I had said all the way along the line,

2849
03:17:48,000 --> 03:17:55,000
the Giants took the staffel, grinded it out. They've got the starters. If they don't have the stuffers, they have the relievers.

2850
03:17:55,000 --> 03:17:58,000
They still had this unless the next bullpen, Bob.

2851
03:17:58,000 --> 03:18:03,000
A little, real good ball, and of course, Anfonelli coming in on the gate from the 9th century.

2852
03:18:03,000 --> 03:18:07,000
He got them out of there when it took flight. They might be able to break through.

2853
03:18:07,000 --> 03:18:12,000
He did a great job. He just did the kind of a job he's been doing all year.

2854
03:18:12,000 --> 03:18:18,000
Well, today, it was course seven-nothing, Cleveland coming back and trying to make a big difference.

2855
03:18:18,000 --> 03:18:23,000
The game was certainly a lot of excitement for the Giants. Cleveland, throughout the series, just didn't have their coach.

2856
03:18:23,000 --> 03:18:28,000
The Giants had a great tour throughout the pitching, their defense, their defense, their hitting, their running, everything.

2857
03:18:28,000 --> 03:18:31,000
The Giants had a great ball coming to go to win.

2858
03:18:31,000 --> 03:18:38,000
What about the pitching of the New York Giants against the Cleveland ball clubs in the entire series?

2859
03:18:38,000 --> 03:18:45,000
They had something that I think stood out, the effectiveness of their right-hand pickers against the Cleveland left-hand hitters.

2860
03:18:45,000 --> 03:18:50,000
Well, it was the story of one man in the Cleveland ball club, Vic Wipps, who was called Hitty,

2861
03:18:50,000 --> 03:18:57,000
and we know in the National League that Gomez with the screwball and Anfonelli and Litty can take care of the left-handed hitters.

2862
03:18:57,000 --> 03:19:03,000
And I think that the failure of the right-handed hitters on the Cleveland ball club to get hot was the difference between the series.

2863
03:19:03,000 --> 03:19:08,000
The Giants' pickers in hand were left-handed hitters to a fit.

2864
03:19:08,000 --> 03:19:13,000
Monty, of course, everyone knows that it's easy to pick up heroes on a team.

2865
03:19:13,000 --> 03:19:16,000
There's just four straight World Series fall games.

2866
03:19:16,000 --> 03:19:22,000
It can almost go down the Giants' lineup because it certainly is obvious this was a real team victory.

2867
03:19:22,000 --> 03:19:24,000
But what about the Cleveland ball club?

2868
03:19:24,000 --> 03:19:29,000
You and I can talk them off this year. We talked about great clubs, and I think you'll still throw us back.

2869
03:19:29,000 --> 03:19:30,000
Yes, they are a great club.

2870
03:19:30,000 --> 03:19:34,000
They're a club that won $111 to be a good ball club.

2871
03:19:34,000 --> 03:19:37,000
They had a bad World Series.

2872
03:19:37,000 --> 03:19:41,000
The Ropes is not the only out-turning thing. I talked to them about the series.

2873
03:19:41,000 --> 03:19:48,000
He was great. Other than that, I think they had a good season. They had a very good start in the series.

2874
03:19:48,000 --> 03:19:54,000
Let's go back to the first game. The Giants won it five runs, nine hits, two errors.

2875
03:19:54,000 --> 03:19:58,000
Gleamon, uh, Glickham won that game.

2876
03:19:58,000 --> 03:20:01,000
And Cleveland had two runs, eight hits, and no errors.

2877
03:20:01,000 --> 03:20:06,000
Let's quickly cut off the features of that first game. Bertie, do you recall the first game?

2878
03:20:06,000 --> 03:20:13,000
I think the only thing that we can talk about in that first game is Ropes' base hit and his pinch hitting.

2879
03:20:13,000 --> 03:20:20,000
Of course, May was getting on base and so forth, but Ropes came into his story in the first game.

2880
03:20:20,000 --> 03:20:24,000
Oh, what about you, Marty? That's not going to get that good.

2881
03:20:24,000 --> 03:20:29,000
The second game, New York won it three to one on three runs, four hits, and no errors.

2882
03:20:29,000 --> 03:20:33,000
Cleveland won on eight hits, four errors. The winner, Anthony Nellie, and the loser, wins.

2883
03:20:33,000 --> 03:20:34,000
Marty, what about the second game?

2884
03:20:34,000 --> 03:20:41,000
The second game was down and hanging back, McNeely and it was Gordon Picking, and they, uh, they couldn't get it, Mr. Ropes.

2885
03:20:41,000 --> 03:20:49,000
The third game, it was New York six runs, ten hits, and one error. Cleveland two runs, two hits, and two errors.

2886
03:20:49,000 --> 03:20:54,000
And they made a circus. And they were very happy, Vernon Gomez, because he thought,

2887
03:20:54,000 --> 03:20:58,000
we Gomez have not lost the World Series game, and Ruben Gomez was the winner.

2888
03:20:58,000 --> 03:21:01,000
Uh, Mr. Ray, what did you think about in your opinion in the first game?

2889
03:21:01,000 --> 03:21:06,000
Well, Gomez did a great job, but Ropes came in, and, and, and, and, and, and the baseball game,

2890
03:21:06,000 --> 03:21:11,000
the, the base hit with the bases loaded, and Wilhelm came in and did a great job,

2891
03:21:11,000 --> 03:21:19,000
but I think the play that I remember in that ball is Alvin Duck getting hung up and allowing his runners to advance into the position they did before.

2892
03:21:19,000 --> 03:21:24,000
Well, that was, uh, I think, was caught there between the puck and the plate.

2893
03:21:24,000 --> 03:21:29,000
That really took something. Uh, Duck was really a standout player in the whole series.

2894
03:21:29,000 --> 03:21:36,000
Uh, you see a lot from when he, when he was in the 19th league, and you know that, and we're in the 11th league, but I heard so much about him.

2895
03:21:36,000 --> 03:21:40,000
Certainly, that's what he's crowded to be. A really great ball player.

2896
03:21:40,000 --> 03:21:44,000
The question about that is, as a matter of fact, he's out of the three alleys today.

2897
03:21:44,000 --> 03:21:50,000
He's a real fine team ball player, and the New York Giants, as we have said earlier in this program,

2898
03:21:50,000 --> 03:21:54,000
are a great bunch of professional baseball players.

2899
03:21:54,000 --> 03:22:01,000
Back to the final game in just a moment. Now, as we all know, it's fun to discuss a world series or anything else,

2900
03:22:01,000 --> 03:22:04,000
but to come up with the right answers beforehand really calls for an expert,

2901
03:22:04,000 --> 03:22:08,000
and believe me, there's one man you can always count on for the right auto insurance answers.

2902
03:22:08,000 --> 03:22:12,000
He's the all-state insurance company agent in this neighborhood.

2903
03:22:12,000 --> 03:22:20,000
You know when you recommend any product or service to your friend, you like to make sure they'll be getting quality of service.

2904
03:22:20,000 --> 03:22:27,000
That's why I always tell my friends, fix our auto insurance problems for the all-state insurance.

2905
03:22:27,000 --> 03:22:34,000
So, the all-state agent in your neighborhood is founded by you because he has the insurance plan,

2906
03:22:34,000 --> 03:22:38,000
which is enlightened by your state after long history and examination.

2907
03:22:38,000 --> 03:22:41,000
He knows your problems and the kind of protection he needs for your family,

2908
03:22:41,000 --> 03:22:45,000
because he's a family man himself, working actively in your community,

2909
03:22:45,000 --> 03:22:50,000
with traffic safety, vet schools, recreation programs for your children.

2910
03:22:50,000 --> 03:22:53,000
He carries this same sincere, conscientious attitude,

2911
03:22:53,000 --> 03:22:57,000
finding the very best auto insurance program for you,

2912
03:22:57,000 --> 03:23:01,000
and then backs it up to fast, dependable personal service.

2913
03:23:01,000 --> 03:23:04,000
That's why Bill Stern, in over two and a half years,

2914
03:23:04,000 --> 03:23:08,000
you're in good hands with your all-state insurance company agent.

2915
03:23:08,000 --> 03:23:10,000
And here's more good news.

2916
03:23:10,000 --> 03:23:16,000
Your all-state agent can provide complete fire insurance coverage for your home

2917
03:23:16,000 --> 03:23:22,000
at a savings of up to 20 percent compared to most common coverage.

2918
03:23:22,000 --> 03:23:27,000
In the state agent now, you'll find all state officers in most serious stores,

2919
03:23:27,000 --> 03:23:30,000
in distant service officers, and other convenient locations.

2920
03:23:30,000 --> 03:23:36,000
You'll also find your all-state agent listed in the yellow pages of your telephone directory.

2921
03:23:36,000 --> 03:23:39,000
Let's get back to the final game today, the totals.

2922
03:23:39,000 --> 03:23:42,000
The Giants, seven runs, ten hits, committed three errors.

2923
03:23:42,000 --> 03:23:45,000
Cleveland, four runs, six hits, and two errors.

2924
03:23:45,000 --> 03:23:48,000
The winner, little, and the loser, lemon.

2925
03:23:48,000 --> 03:23:53,000
Now, Marty, today, Lopez came back with lemon after two days away,

2926
03:23:53,000 --> 03:23:55,000
and he took quite a gamble.

2927
03:23:55,000 --> 03:23:57,000
If you think you have it, if you flip it over again,

2928
03:23:57,000 --> 03:24:01,000
knowing the lemons ability, you're thinking you've still got lemon.

2929
03:24:01,000 --> 03:24:06,000
If you ever hear a word, Bob, Lopez is more by a picture than anybody in the world.

2930
03:24:06,000 --> 03:24:10,000
There's no difference what you can do, and after all, lemons are better than they had.

2931
03:24:10,000 --> 03:24:14,000
And when you have your back to the wall, you come back to do that, and that's just what they did.

2932
03:24:14,000 --> 03:24:17,000
I find it, they say, but lemon just didn't even have it today,

2933
03:24:17,000 --> 03:24:21,000
but don't forget, the New York Giants are up.

2934
03:24:21,000 --> 03:24:22,000
They're really up.

2935
03:24:22,000 --> 03:24:26,000
Today, they can get the game, but I just don't think they can play by everybody.

2936
03:24:26,000 --> 03:24:28,000
How do you feel about that, Marty?

2937
03:24:28,000 --> 03:24:32,000
Well, in 1951 and 52, I was a catcher on that bar club,

2938
03:24:32,000 --> 03:24:38,000
and Lopez didn't have the depth in pitching that he had this year, and he pitched lemons last year and won

2939
03:24:38,000 --> 03:24:42,000
many times with two days' rest, and to prove that they could do the job,

2940
03:24:42,000 --> 03:24:46,000
the last part of the season, I believe we won around 21 out of our last 26 games

2941
03:24:46,000 --> 03:24:49,000
on that two-day rest rotation.

2942
03:24:49,000 --> 03:24:53,000
The reason we didn't touch the bench is because they had the same kind of a record, so

2943
03:24:53,000 --> 03:25:01,000
Lopez knew that lemons could do it, and he just kept picking his best man to take you had to win.

2944
03:25:01,000 --> 03:25:05,000
What about just a comment on next year's Senate race?

2945
03:25:05,000 --> 03:25:09,000
Marty, what effect do you feel that this loss will have on Cleveland,

2946
03:25:09,000 --> 03:25:13,000
and what about the chances of your team in the White Sox in the race in 55?

2947
03:25:13,000 --> 03:25:16,000
Being beaten a little through a four-straight ballgame,

2948
03:25:16,000 --> 03:25:20,000
Portland will take a little side job to put them in the district at their time.

2949
03:25:20,000 --> 03:25:25,000
By the time the next year rolls around, the Cleveland club, maybe they'll forget all about this,

2950
03:25:25,000 --> 03:25:28,000
and Portland will be out there trying to win the flag next year.

2951
03:25:28,000 --> 03:25:30,000
But I can say this to the White Sox, Bob, we are, too.

2952
03:25:30,000 --> 03:25:34,000
I think it would help with a little bit of things if we were working on the right math,

2953
03:25:34,000 --> 03:25:36,000
the White Sox may be battling this race next year.

2954
03:25:36,000 --> 03:25:38,000
Now, Bernie, what about the Cincinnati Reds?

2955
03:25:38,000 --> 03:25:40,000
That was a team that gave everybody a lot of headaches this year.

2956
03:25:40,000 --> 03:25:44,000
What effect do you think the team in fourth straight will have on DeRosia and the Giants?

2957
03:25:44,000 --> 03:25:47,000
Will they go into the next campaign, let's say, overconfidence,

2958
03:25:47,000 --> 03:25:52,000
or do you anticipate the second kind of real tough, rough-and-tough races you had in the national league this year?

2959
03:25:52,000 --> 03:25:55,000
Bob, there isn't any club in our league that's going to be overconfident.

2960
03:25:55,000 --> 03:26:01,000
We've had two couple leagues, and any one of the first seven ball clubs that finished among the first seven this year

2961
03:26:01,000 --> 03:26:03,000
are allowed to win that national league tennis.

2962
03:26:03,000 --> 03:26:06,000
Nobody's going to get two questions in our league.

2963
03:26:06,000 --> 03:26:08,000
What are your plans now, Marty?

2964
03:26:08,000 --> 03:26:15,000
I'm going to take my wife and we're going away for a 10-day vacation trip, then I'm going back to work.

2965
03:26:15,000 --> 03:26:17,000
What are your plans, Marty?

2966
03:26:17,000 --> 03:26:20,000
Well, Bob, I'm going out to Oregon on a vacation trip for about two weeks

2967
03:26:20,000 --> 03:26:24,000
to actually South Dakota for a little second-hand, and that's the only way.

2968
03:26:24,000 --> 03:26:27,000
Would you like to just say a word, Bertie, about this?

2969
03:26:27,000 --> 03:26:32,000
It's almost hard to pick out one or two players, because I think we're pretty certain

2970
03:26:32,000 --> 03:26:35,000
four-game win for the New York Giants was a team victory.

2971
03:26:35,000 --> 03:26:40,000
Were there any clear other players that you would like to just comment on in getting closer?

2972
03:26:40,000 --> 03:26:49,000
Well, I think Jesse Rhodes did a fabulous job, and what we were overlooking was the fact that DeRosia

2973
03:26:49,000 --> 03:26:55,000
picked Jesse Rhodes for the spot that he needed him the most. As a matter of fact, he didn't use Rhodes today.

2974
03:26:55,000 --> 03:27:04,000
The pass out was a very fine managerial position to place himself in, because if this thing ever did get tied up,

2975
03:27:04,000 --> 03:27:07,000
we always had Rhodes for that hot spot.

2976
03:27:07,000 --> 03:27:11,000
What about Cleveland? They're just in close, then, Marty?

2977
03:27:11,000 --> 03:27:13,000
Back there, you put oil to them.

2978
03:27:13,000 --> 03:27:15,000
Yes, I was, but I thought they could win.

2979
03:27:15,000 --> 03:27:20,000
Bob, that's the only advice that Cleveland had throughout the entire series, just like the first phase.

2980
03:27:20,000 --> 03:27:24,000
He did a good job, especially with his big bat. I'm sure the low pass did the best that he could.

2981
03:27:24,000 --> 03:27:26,000
The ball did the best that he could.

2982
03:27:26,000 --> 03:27:32,000
Thank you both very, very much. And, friends, that's it. A new bit of ball-hunting has been born,

2983
03:27:32,000 --> 03:27:40,000
so it's all hail to the New York and Rio Duos, the New Kings of the baseball world.

2984
03:27:40,000 --> 03:27:45,000
And, friends, that's the last of the World Series Roundup. I was thinking for Birdie Pettis, Marty,

2985
03:27:45,000 --> 03:27:50,000
and the Dibbitts turning myself. You know, we was a real kick out of bringing the second series.

2986
03:27:50,000 --> 03:27:55,000
We hope you've made this year's World Series a bit more enjoyable for you.

2987
03:27:55,000 --> 03:28:03,000
Now, many thanks to our hosts. We offer $2,000 all to save the first couple of days throughout the United States and Canada.

2988
03:28:03,000 --> 03:28:11,000
Once again, I want to recognize that before you buy or renew our insurance, you can also get insurance company

2989
03:28:11,000 --> 03:28:16,000
against this neighborhood. He's a mighty good man, you know, and he's a good man, too.

2990
03:28:16,000 --> 03:28:21,000
I also give you the help of a personal free and defiant local insurance service if you want.

2991
03:28:21,000 --> 03:28:28,000
It would be a real privilege for me to tell you about this outstanding insurance man and community leader.

2992
03:28:28,000 --> 03:28:34,000
I'm very glad to join my good friend Bill Stern and the over $2.5 million policyholders who say,

2993
03:28:34,000 --> 03:28:40,000
you are in trouble with your all-state insurance company.

2994
03:28:40,000 --> 03:28:58,000
My name is Bob O'Hara. It's been a real pleasure for Bill Stern on today's Allstate Show.
