On Friday, October 6, 1950, the Philadelphia Phillies faced the New York Yankees at Yankee
Stadium for Game 3 of the 1950 World Series. The Yankees led the series two games to zero,
having won two close games in Philadelphia by one run each. This included a tie-breaking
solo home run by Joe DiMaggio in the top of the 10th inning of Game 2.
In Game 3, the Phillies were set to send Ken Heinselman to the mound to face the Yankees,
Eddie Lopat. This audio recording is from the Mutual Radio broadcast featuring announcers
Mel Allen and Gene Kelly.

For the third day running, the Yankees have won two one run classics, Rashi the victor
of the concerti. Yesterday Reynolds winning over Robin Roberts, we have Chris Autumnweather.
The sun came out strongest at about noon today, New York time. What it appears as though we're
not going to have any trouble at all with the weather for the rest of the afternoon. It's
a typical New York Yankee classic. Well, the Yankees of course have come through 17 times
to appear in World Series classics. The build of two downs, how many teams in the past,
two down to the defending world champions particularly, have come through to go on and win in Titanic
Voucher. Only one. Across the river from Yankee Stadium at the famed Polo grounds, the New
York Giants did it in 1921. That year it was a best five of nine World Series and such
famous names as Art Neff, Wade Hoyt, Jeff Burns, Paul Mays, Phil Douglas and Bob Shockey along
with the late Jack Shikas Quinn, participated in banner pitching classics. The builds know
they're down and so today, Giver Eddie Sawyer, who was brought up in the richest of Yankee
traditions as an organization man before having been selected as a pilot of the down trodden
fills has gone to a veteran left hander, the great patch South Park Ken Heinselman, 35
years of age, who's surprised one and all and possibly himself most of all in 1949 by
having won 17 games. This season, 75% of the time, his team has not given him any runs
to work on. As a matter of fact, his earned run average is less than four per game. He
has won but three. He has lost nine and of all the games he has started, only four have
been complete successes. He has gone the distance that is four times. His three wins came twice
over Cincinnati once in relief the evening when young Bubba Church was slammed under
the left eye on a line drive by Ted Krozowski of the Cincinnati Reds and then most recently
in the final week of the season against the Boston Braves when he won out 12 to four. He
is what ball players refer to in the profession as a dark draw. A fellow with a quick movement,
tremendous speed, soft stuff, a sticky fastball and as a matter of fact, his left handed opponent
today for the New York Yankees, New York born Ed Lopez, who started Major League career
with the Chicago White Sox is the same type earlier. It is the general feeling among press
and radio role and the baseball wise-eaters that if there is to be a hitting explosion,
it should occur today. Heinselman was looked upon as a possible surprise starter when
the season began or at least when the series began. Stingel has gone along playing sick
form. He hasn't had to play anything else or you can't second guess the home run. The
home run by the Immortal Jota Mongeau yesterday which defeated Roberts of the field by a score
of two to one. So that he began with Ratchey, countered with Reynolds and now two for the
good. He doesn't exactly have to gamble with a fellow who won 18 games and lost eight in
the 1950s season, Ed Lopez. Tomorrow he is scheduled to start his wonderful rookie, Ed
Ford who won nine and lost one during this fast season. Whereas today, when all those
saw his choice, it's just as it was prior to the game. He didn't make the official
announcement until one hour ago. It was to have been either the veteran Heinselman who
had just as leave shoot Ducks in his hometown of Perug, Missouri as play ball although he
loved both of them equally he tells me or Bob Miller the recruit up from Class B,
Gerro Hoed. So it is the veteran left hander Heinselman against almost the equally experienced
Ed Lopez. Now there you are for percentage six. The one team that has come from behind two
down. So that now the Yankees are our charm favorites. If not to sweep the series in
court straight then certainly possibly to keep the series in New York without a move back to
Philadelphia. Fans the nationwide membership drive being conducted by the Crusade for Freedom
ends the 16th of October not far off. This great campaign to help lift the iron curtain everywhere
has as its goal the signature of every American. As you know the Crusade for Freedom was organized
by private citizens under the leadership of General Lucius D. Clay of Berlin Airlift
Bay and is endorsed by the White House and State Department. Membership in the Freedom Crusade
involves signing the Declaration of Freedom and giving all possible support to Radio Free Europe
which supplements the voice of America. Join the Freedom Crusade in your hometown or right to
Crusade for Freedom Empire State Building New York. In the background perhaps you can hear
if your ears are not close to your loud speakers the fact that 30 of the 50 Yankee and filled players
eligible for the 1950 World Series are graduates of the American Legion Junior Baseball Program.
Here today as the guest of the Major Leagues is Captain Bill Irwin Post number 3317 from
Oakland California which has won the National American Legion Junior Baseball Championship
for the past two years. A bit of irony there for coming to the Major League to take over as the
skipper of the World Championship New York Yankees two seasons ago was Casey Stangles who had piloted
a veteran Oakland team to a championship and the methods he used on the Pacific Coast League
champions are those that he brought here to the Yankee Stadium in New York. Now the physical setup
of this ballpark is entirely different than that we had at Shy Park. Down the right field line it is
296 feet away for home run territory. Down the left field line 301 feet the barriers here are not
high. In dead right and dead left you scale a small concrete and chicken wire fence of approximately
four to five feet. In other words it doesn't matter at all of the height of the flight of the ball as it
sallies out there a home run valve but as the park tapers off to the terrace left center dead
center and right center the fence grows higher. In some sections it is as high as 10 in left center
deep close to the 461 foot mark where the monuments of the late Babe Ruth, Luke Eric and the great
manager, Milla Huggins of the New York Yankees stand. Then there is a wire fence that goes up
about 25 feet very rarely have home runs been hit there. The Bambino did it a couple of times as
did Luke Eric. Jimmy Fox of the championship athletics in the early 30s and late 20s did it as
well. But most of the home runs are hit to dead right and dead left. There is more ample territory
for the outfielders to cover. As a matter of fact the Yankees have predicted that the left
fielder, Sissler, who has had no experience at all in this mammoth ballpark is going to have a bit
of difficulty in fielding out there. For there is almost it seems always a cross wind blowing in from
left and out from right. In just a moment as the players are assembled the fields and they're
traveling pearl gray and red uniforms along the third baseline. The familiar Yankee spangles of
white with blue stripes, the umpires of the place and I believe we're going to have again the 30
seconds of silent prayer to give thankfulness of living in a straight country of ours to be
followed by the national anthem. So we are going to pause approximately 30 seconds to join in the
silent prayer.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, if you please join the guys and the amateurs all sing together.
Oh, say can you see I've never been alive. What so proudly we hailed and high like a
making through life then I
The National Anthem is starring Lee Song and led by Sopano Lucy Monroe.
Now for starting line-up in the third game, a pivotal contest.
For the Phillies, Eddie Wakers, first base.

Batting seventh and playing third base, right-handed batting, Billy Johnson.
Batting eighth and playing right field in his first world series appearance this season,
Cliff Mates, and the pitcher is Lopat, 18 and eight.
Now, ten seconds for station identification.
This is the mutual broadcasting system.
The umpires are switched around, moving clockwise as the series progresses,
and we will have Dusty Boggess calling balls and strikes,
Charlie Berry at first base, Gakko Conlin at second base,
and Bill McGowan at third, with the line umpires Al Barlich of the National League,
and Bill McKinley of the American League.
So, in a moment, the struggle is about to get underway.
The crowd has almost done capacity, at least 60,000 west-sirks.
The Yankees spot out onto the field, and led by them, well, Jota Maggio, his ninth world series.
And there's only one thing that Jota has on our contrair here today, Mel Allen.
He's got one more series than Mel.
So, here's the gentleman that's going to give you the play-by-play word from upper New York City,
the Bronx, the Bombers, Mel Allen and his eighth world series.
Melvin?
And as we get ready to move into the final four and a half innings of the third game of the world series,
it's my pleasure and privilege to introduce my colleague, who today is celebrating two things,
broadcasting a world series and his 32nd birthday.
Mmm, you're a young man.
Thanks, Pop.
Kenny Heinzelman into the motion, drawing the batter, Billy Johnson,
who struck out, swinging on a curve ball for the third out, back in the second innings.
And it's low and away, ball one.
Johnson betting right-handed.
The pitch?
This curve is in there for a full strike one.
One ball, one strike.
I'm the kind of fellow Allen that makes you feel like a grandpa, I know.
I hear you, Mr. Kelly.
One-on-one, pitching.
Low outside, slow curve, ball two.
Both left-handers today have very good hooks in there.
Low pat seems a bit quicker than Heinzelman.
But the veteran left-hander of the Phillies has done a fine job despite being behind now, one-on-nothing.
Now the two-one pitch, swinging, a ground ball,
broadsword though, quick stop by Willie Jones, up with it, over to first in time.
Willie Jones came up with the best in field play of the day by going well to his all-left.
And a ball that seemed basic bound, draw the hole between shot and third,
and speared it with his both hands, hitting over to first in time to retire.
Fairly fast run.
One away.
Here's Clipnate, left-handed batter.
And the first curve is low, ball one.
Ken Heinzelman working on the mat, on maids who pulls the ball tremendously when he meets it.
So I'd write, he's played that way right now.
One-on-one, two pumps by Heinzelman.
He delivers outside and low, ball two, slow curve.
Two ball, no strike on on Clipnate.
He pops out high, very high, through first baseman, Wakers of the Phillies, and his first strip up.
Over one.
Two-on-nothing pitch.
Strike one ball.
He crossed him up with what we've been referring to as a sneaky fastball, throwing it tight near the fifth.
Two-on-one.
One gone, nobody on.
Glass to the fifth.
Gory Yankees won, but for Lee's nothing.
No more than one run has separated these teams all the way in three games.
A pitch, swinging, and a thing for a spike two.
That was a kind of a speedy pitch with a wrinkle on it, breaking away from mates that time on the outside corner.
Big strapping left-handed slinger.
Two-on-two.
On deck, the pitcher at low pass.
A pitch, way outside and low, to run it full, free and full.
Pinesman began by running the count very deep.
He passed for Zidow and Berra, both of them in the first inning, and then walked fill again in the third.
Now he's behind again.
The string pitch.
There's a ball, locked to the short left field.
Tristler moving in, flexed down the glasses, moves under, reaches up and grabs it for the put-up.
That's all the first makes.
He's proud in left field.
His arm, Tristler.
He has not done a thing, as you know, with a stick, moving into the third game of the series.
And of course, he was a hero of the Sunday Climax.
Now the crowd again will cheer for Ed Lopez.
Stocky, long left-handed, born in New York, and now lives in Arkansas.
It's winged left-handed.
He's over one.
Let's call that on strikes in the third inning.
Pinesman's curve is taken by Lopez outside, ball one.
On ball, no strikes.
Glenda South Park in the motion, delivers.
A swing and there's a line drive to a right center field in there for a base hit.
Moving all that through field of all is Richie Ashburn and low-pattern is on with a third Yankee hit.
Coming with two outs in the last of the fifth inning.
That was a well-tagged single.
Over the head of the second base in Michael, he had to short right center.
Now, Scuder-Rosuto.
His lack of height has paid off for the Pepper Pot shortstop today.
He has been walked twice and each time the count on him when he was passed was three and nothing.
A single right center now.
Low-pattern on his first base.
Third Yankee hit.
The pitch is too risotto, batting right-handed.
It's high and wide.
For the short shot stop, ball one.
Pinesman has given up three walks and two to field.
He pitches and field swings.
Upper cuts of balls to the third row of seats upstairs.
Yankee stadium, as you know, is triple deck.
It's a beautiful ball park designed especially for the national pastime.
One-on-one on Rosuto.
New ball in play by Empire Boggots.
Strolling balls and strikes.
Pinesman stretches, delivers.
There's a bump to the left of the plate and then Boggots calls it foul.
Semineck is protesting that Rosuto ran into his own bunt at ball.
And there's a three-way conference along with Empire Boggots,
created by John from third, the pitcher Heinzelman and Gacius Semineck.
It goes as foul strike two.
Boggots saying that he immediately called it foul.
Bouncing off the left of the plate and then moving toward the right.
Draw the count on Phil.
One and two.
Score one to nothing.
New York Yankees over the Phillies.
Yankees home for the first time in the series now.
Low-pattern with a warm-up jacket leading off first.
Not too close to guard by Wake is the first-sacker.
The stretch by Heinzelman the pitch.
He swings.
There's a looper to second.
Goliath under, grabs, and loopholes out.
He hit it off the handle and the crowd for a moment got themselves a thrill
since Phil took a very healthy cut.
But it was an off-the-handle looper right through the second baseman.
High Goliath for the third out.
Dolph in the Yankee half of the fifth inning.
No runs, a single.
The right center by pitcher Eddie Lopez.
The Yankees third hit.
No errors by the Phillies and Lopez left on.
Five inning totals.
New York, one run.
Three hits.
No errors.
Three left.
The Phillies, no runs.
Four hits.
One error.
And a very costly one at that.
Four men left on.
I've noted here today that the crowd has been a bit more demonstrative.
Of course it's sizable.
There must be easily 60,000 backing the Yankee stadium fans.
The Phillies of course are so hungry for 35 years for their first tenets since 1915.
Naturally had a very partisan audience down in the city of Wethely Love.
The Phillies are down for the third straight time.
They have never held the lead in any of the games.
And their first offensive offering here in the top of the sixth inning is going to be the
tell-head Richie Ashburn who has played very well in the field and has done well enough
with a stick except in this game.
Low Pat's wide sweeping hooks.
His roundhouse is down breaking differs.
How court Ashburn paralyzed twice.
Making him swing enemies for strike three on a curve in the first and he took a fast
ball crossing him up in the third.
Lover two is Richie.
Has a choke grip on the bat, well up on the stick.
Nothing left handed.
Low Pat motion throws.
A fast ball.
One of the plates.
Ball one.
And he came down with a cross fire that time.
He was on left.
Ashburn to be followed by Puttenhead Jones and Del Initz.
Infielder Johnson at third, very shallow.
Low Pat throws.
And he half swings and gets a foul.
Zipped off the handle of his bat to the left of the plate and behind.
Ball one, strike one.
Top of the sixth.
Time running out on the Phillies who have not found the answer to producing the cluster.
Well that matter neither team has.
No more than one run scored at any one time in any one inning.
One more, one strike to Ashburn.
The left hander delivers.
He swings and cuts a high top foul out of play behind the plate.
And just missing the screen to our left.
Our position for calling this play by play.
Angela's cavalcade of sports for none of myself and Al Halford is perfect.
We are right smack jab behind the plate.
Not too high, not too low.
Just shallow enough so that none of the action out on the field escapes.
One ball to Shikes.
Low Pat ready throws.
Ashburn swings as a high foul fly moving to the stands in short right field out of play.
Some 15 or 16 rolls into the boxes.
The left fielder has no foul territory at all to play to speak of.
In other words most balls hit to the territory allowed would be handled either to the outracing shortstop or third baseman.
Left and right are pretty flush for the gardeners out there.
Again ready for one and two.
The pitch foul, Low Pat.
He swings and it's a he's stuck him out.
Now there's an Adelaide.
During the 1950 season Ashburn never struck out as many as three times in one game.
And so he does it for the first time in 1950 in the third World Series contest.
That's the third time Low Pat has napped him on strikes and at his fourth strikeout pick up.
He got him on a curve and a dandy.
One down.
Willie Jones one for two.
Single through the hole to the left field back in the third inning.
Batting right handed.
Takes inside on a cross up pass ball.
Ball one.
With a hit run on with Wakers at first base in the first inning.
Jones dribbled out.
Low Pat to my.
And then Singles a left with Thugan in the third.
Now went away.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Strike one ball.
That thing looked like a sailor.
It seemed to rise up a bit.
And then for plump into the middle of the catchy Yogi Baron.
One on one.
One ball, one strike.
One gone, nobody on.
Filled top of the sixth.
Scory Yankees one for least nothing.
Pitch a swing and a foul right to the Yankee dugout.
Now during regular season play I suppose the Yankees bring out the white Terry child.
This is kind of a grim affair for both teams.
The money is on the line.
The proficiency, four out of seven.
The first to prove.
And the Yankees of course two games up.
Now one and two count on Jonesy.
North Carolinian, Laurel Hill.
Low Pat in the motion.
Fires, Jones swings.
A chopping, zipping, ground ball foul along the third base side of the dot.
And a fan reaches over from one of the boxes.
And while they had a little effort not having taken his physical training lately,
I surmise he finally picked it up for souvenir.
Low Pat uses this moment to out rub up the ball a little bit.
Go to the rod.
Marshall has owned physical forces.
Well he is well ahead.
He has one man down.
And the count on a long ball hitter, Jones, one and two.
Now ready.
Let's see Low Pat getting the sign from Dara.
Stocky catch here in the rocking chair.
He throws, Jones cuts.
There is a high twisting pop foul.
It's going out of play.
Mise gives it a try but to no avail.
Zipping in.
So the battle now between Jones, the hitter and Low Pat the pitcher.
Dragged out a little bit.
The tempo of the first game was comparatively slow for a one to nothing duel.
It ran better than two hours.
Yesterday's was better than three hours.
But it ran into extra innings for the first time since 1946.
This is about midway between.
One ball, two strikes.
Left hand to Low Pat delivers.
Jones swings and misses.
He struck him out.
That appeared to be a curve ball thrown inside.
So he turns the first two men to face him.
In the top of the sixth.
Now tells me that Low Pat has never been known particularly as a strikeout artist.
And while he now has all told five getting ashburned three times.
And Semonik once and with Jones now.
He is really delivering that curve.
This is a well-scattered series.
It's evident.
At the Fellows of Scattered both clubs.
New weaknesses.
The pitching comes to the fore.
And now the most dangerous hitter potentially are the Phillies.
Del Ennis.
Is a high curve around the eyes of the cap all once.
Del has bounced out to third for the third out on the first and popped out to risotto.
On a handle hit curve for the third out in the third.
He has yet to get his first World Series hit.
Though he led the Phil's in hitting in 1950 with an average of 313.
Want to know on it.
Set for the pitch delivery.
Strike one ball.
Fastball.
A good half of the diamond.
That is the inner portion of it is covered now by the first base sand shadows.
As well as the entire right field sector where mates the Yankee outfielder.
The crowd drive now ready for any eventuality.
And it's primarily hits to left and left center.
They plan to pull to left.
One on one.
The pitch.
A swing.
A line drive toward right field.
Maybe good for extra bases.
Sipping in there.
Rolling to the wall.
Ennis rounds first.
Head to second.
Make place it off the wall.
Goes to second.
It's a stand up double.
The first hit of the World Series for Del Ennis.
And the Phillies now have a runner in scoring position with two and out.
The Phillies you know leave the Yankees and extra bases.
For the Phillies that is their fourth double.
They have one triple no home run.
Tamarjo's homer yesterday has been alone.
Distance clout of this landing.
A right field double hitting to the opposite field.
Del Ennis.
Sixth thisler.
Over two.
Running the finish.
Swinging.
There's a line drive.
Left field.
Basics.
The first hit of the World Series for Del Ennis.
Here's the runner.
He's going to score.
And the game is tied one-one.
Well, Dick Sisher who had been one of the hitting goats.
I shouldn't say hitting.
I should say hitting advisedly.
Batting goat.
Comes through when the Phillies need him most.
And it's a brand new ball game boys and girls.
One and one.
It comes with two outs.
Both Ennis answers for hits safely for the first time in a series and they make it stay off.
This has all occurred with two men gone just as the Yankees scored with two outs.
Back in the third inning.
The batter is Granville Handler with first goal leading off first base.
No-pant stretches.
Delivers.
And the swings in a turn.
And a down-breaking curve ball.
Like one.
First loose ball.
Barely he loaded the grass.
A point-sized risotto and it may well have been that an average size fellow could have grabbed that.
But Phil certainly gave it a try.
It rolled into short left center field.
Nothing in one count.
To Handler.
One for two.
The pitch.
A butt attempt is missed.
A snap go to first.
He's out.
A great play by Elvie Berraff as Handler attempted to choke up the defense by laying down a
bust.
They put it on.
Berraff snaps through to Johnny Mize who put the tag quickly and aptly on Sussler.
The play went to catcher Berraff to the first base and Johnny Mize and the Phillies are
retired.
The count incidentally had gone nothing at all on Handler.
One run earned.
Two hits.
The run driven in by Sussler.
No errors by the Yankees and nobody left on.
Berra and Mize took care of that.
Five and a half in eighths.
The Phillies won.
The Yankees won.
бес Gordon, if you look at what he did deer in a
drill near the Griffith Valley 27'm allowed to repair the Jewel belly.
It plays easily and rinses clean in a jiffy.
To sum it up, the Gillette Super Speed Racer is the only razor that combines real shaving satisfaction with instant blade changing and double edge economy.
What more, the Gillette Super Speed Racer is the greatest shaving value ever offered.
You get it in a handsome styrene case with a 10 blade spencer.
A big $75 value for only a dollar at any convenience store.
Now to the last half of the sixth inning.
Heinselman's set on the first pitch and about up there is Jerry Coleman who took call strike one.
A down breaking curve ball.
Coleman batting right handed is one for two and has wrapped home the one Yankee run.
Ball one is wide of the plate on the slow pass curve.
One on one.
Well, the excitement at that time and you can see that the fans, no primarily Yankee routers or for the underdog at the moment
as the bill's tied it up. Two pumps by the left hand.
Heinselman delivers wide and high.
Ball two.
Two on one count.
That's the first real excitement that the Red Caps visitors have given the fans here at Spatio Yankee Stadium.
Two on one count.
Coleman last of the sixth.
The pitch, the swing, aligned drive.
Let's field in there.
Good probation.
First the field too quickly.
Coleman turns at first and the whip comes into the relay man, Granada, holding Jerry at first place.
That is the fourth Yankee hit. All of them singles.
And Coleman has two.
Now, Yogi Berra.
Walk once on a three-two count in the first and tapped out weekly to the left of the mound in the fourth inning.
All four won officially.
Looking for the box, he cuts on the first one and fouls it upstairs third time.
And one of these World Series broadcasts are being carried to our armed forces around the world with the facilities of the Armed Forces Radio 7.
And I am sure that the numbers of the 28th Keystone Division in Indiana are happy that person is here today.
There's a quick draw over the first.
But Coleman is back with room to spare safely.
A man armed, Jerry Coleman, rightly second base under the Yankees.
With a left field single.
The pitch to Berra, the swing, aligned drive toward right foul.
And that thing was tagged.
And Berra put all of his chunky beat into that swing.
The wind today is playing half with a long ball.
And you'll know there have been a couple of Texas League singles.
Pumped back planners as they call them.
Nothing in two-count, Yogi.
But, it's handed back.
Infield looking for the double play now.
The stack behind some many pitches.
Wide and high of the play.
Ball wide.
One and two.
Wide, one one.
A Yankee run and a third.
A field run and a sixth.
Heinsman quick pitching now delivers again.
A high sweeping show turn.
Too high, ball two.
Too two.
One on, nobody else.
For the New York Yankee, last of a sixth.
And every now to get back that run.
That's a field, garnet off.
And he goes back.
The stretch, he pitches.
He swings and sends a high, off near the plate.
And the back appears to have their own.
For the right of the plate.
Under, squeezing.
He's out.
Farrell pops out about 30 feet behind and for the right of the plate.
So they catch them.
One gone.
And now, Joe DeMond, Joe.
With one away and a teammate has first base.
Joe has a single in two trips.
And his single was of a variety.
We were describing to you just a moment ago.
There's a crosswind here at the stadium.
Joe, the Yankee flipper sets in.
He's going to go, Joe takes high around the chin.
Ball one.
Joe flies through short right.
Two innings in the first inning.
And then he got his single in the fourth.
But with what's been it?
He's going to go in the fourth.
One ball, no strikes.
Infield, he's now to the left side.
Swinging, a long five ball, he's going to go in the fourth.
And the stripper has it and takes it.
The runner had first foreman picked off the back for the moment as the relay came in
by a hundred of shots at the second base.
DeMond, Joe flies, he's still at.
Two gone.
Tank power.
Broad shoulder outfield.
Playing left field today.
He has played right in the first two games.
He's going to go in the first, foreman back safely,
and Wakers didn't even bother to put the tag on him.
No count yet on Bauer who is over two.
A round to the mound and a fly ball to right.
Running right handed.
Very off the dock stand.
Infield stretches, delivers.
Bauer takes wide and high.
Ball one.
I had the opportunity of seeing Bauer and Mates in the same outfield one time
with the debugging leaders of the American Association.
There's a high twister whooping itself up toward the third deck
along the first state line and dipping down stairs.
You see the second deck here at the stadium,
got the back and the upper deck moves out.
And I think three rows of people get themselves the thrill of a chance.
And it's a good nature to cool crowd today because of the weather.
One-on-one.
Wakers, Hanks swings.
There's another one this time, definitely upstairs and out of play.
Strike two.
Goal one-on-one.
The Hanks in the pills and another thriller villain.
One to nothing.
The opening day, two to one.
In Germany yesterday and one to one with two gone and a man on
in the last of the six here today.
Hanks takes time for pause, puts him over,
in the six, the kick, he throws.
High, very high.
And Semina cut a climb up on the ladder that time to bring it down.
12-2.
Even up two and two.
Four minutes first.
Either better or no.
I've been able to move Jerry along.
Big fish, the runner breaks.
He sends a very high spot behind second base.
Well he has backtracking on the grass,
five feet back, grabs it for the footer,
and that's all for the empty foot in the last of the six.
We'll move it to the second base in Michael Lea.
For New York, no runs.
A leadoff single by Collins, the Yankee four-tip.
No errors by the pills and one man left on.
At the end of six, the Yankee's one, the Phillies one.
As we pause ten seconds for station identification.
Here's the mutual broadcasting system.
I got the Yankee stadium in New York.
Field fans, or at least those who are pulling for the field stretch.
And now, I don't know what it is.
I know that most of these folks must be Yankee fans,
but I think out of good sportsmanship of nature,
they're stretching in both hands. What do you think?
Well, they often do that here at the stadium.
There are a great many of out-of-towners.
And I think the many of them are just stretching
because it's the seventh inning without regard to partisanship.
So there are those among them, naturally,
who are Phillies' rooters and are standing.
Others decided that being a little cool
might as well get up right now.
How long my birthday cake's still hot tonight, Alan?
Yeah, it was. All those candles on there.
You want me to hire somebody?
I'll blow on my hands while I'm blowing out the candles.
Here's Danny Hammer.
Charge dot, one for two.
Single, off Johnson, the third baseman's glove.
And the second and a five ball to right and the fourth.
Pretty well hit, nice catch by Mates.
Low pass pitching, Danny swings and ticks it off foul.
There are traps of all and keeps it in play.
He dropped it.
Strike ball.
Hammer to be followed by Catcher-Andy Semnick
and second baseman Goliath.
Nothing in one.
Eddie throws, Hammer swings.
Ground ball, through the middle, out of the center.
Mates it.
Hammer takes the turn at first and a march comes in
and returns it to Rizzuto.
That incidentally is the third consecutive hit
of low pass.
You see, Hammer's had double to right,
with two down and a six and a fizzler
to the left and now here is another single.
Fengoff, who is the bench jockey or cup as they call him
and is a formy Yankee of great renown.
He's caught here for Miller Huggins.
Talks things over with Semnick.
And he has one for two.
He's single through the hole,
between the bag and the shortstop
in the second and then struck out swinging
on a low pass curve ball in the fourth.
He's down with a through the middle, ground single at center
and is called World Series hit.
Infield moved in.
Low pass stretchers delivers.
There's a bump, throw them out.
Low pass up with it, go to first, he's out.
The sacrifice works.
He turns at the left hand of Will in pivoting on a throw
and looked for Rizzuto,
but going in high on the slide was Hammer.
So that Eddie had but one play and the sacrifice goes down
to the pitcher, Low pass to the second baseman, Jerry Coleman covering.
Run out at second.
And the man upon whom it seems that every time we look up,
Mel and I has runners on for him.
But he's failed to produce quite consistently
though he has played a very sparkling game of field.
Mike Oliac, all for two, ground ball to the pitcher,
ground ball to shortstop.
And on second one away.
Low pass pitch, it's going on and grounded.
Third base side, fouled by three feet
and Johnson backhanded it that time.
And this large crowd, appreciative of every effort,
fair or foul, gives Mr. Johnson a nice round of applause.
One away.
The single by Hammer was the seventh field hit.
Score tied one-on-one, now with a seven.
A man at second and one man out.
Nothing in one, low pass set.
Six throws.
William Cling, wide-eyed for the field, in there for base hit.
Here is Hammer, rounding third, heading for the plate.
The throw comes in, he's safe.
The first time in the World Series of 1950,
the Phillies are leading in a ball game.
In right field,
Big 26 now is getting up to
a three-point lead.
And the first time in the World Series of 1950,
the Phillies are leading in a ball game.
In right field,
Big 26 now is getting up to a three-point lead.
In right field, Big 26 now is getting up to a warm-up out there.
Might be a catcher, might be a pitcher, of course.
Tom Perrick, who now lives in Philadelphia,
while he was born in this city.
And has been great in relief rolls for singles.
The Phillies have only added first.
The Marjo's roll just missed,
Tubera has had him put across the planter safely,
with a filled second run, and they now lead two-to-one.
And in the manner, the infield looking for the but.
Ten bats right-handed.
Lopez pitches, ten bunts, fouls.
Lopez made a token throw down at second base,
and little Phil Rezoodo had a leap in the air.
Like a championship herbal that time,
as Goliath stormed in high-high.
But it's foul strike one.
Yogi was like a cat on that ball,
and Goliath would have been an easy prey out there at second base.
Foul strike one on the but, attempt.
Short two-to-one now, double to seventh.
And this game picks up a intro.
The crowd, chilled by the weather,
warms up to the situation.
Johnson weigh-in on the grad.
Lopez ready to deliver.
I'll pitch out.
I'll throw the first, he's back safely,
and a good trap is made by Coleman
to save the ball from rolling away.
The foul was all in the dirt,
and Jerry filled it with these and made sure
that he's put on an old-fashioned tempera-martin body block.
Oh, Jerry was on the alert.
He played great ball this series.
Goliath, of course, was safe.
And on the pitch out, the count is one-on-one.
They're gonna well afford to pitch out behind some industry.
Very weak hitter, 0-2.
And a cute throw to first by the left-hander.
Bill White, who at one time was Yankee property
and now heralds for the White Sox.
It's supposed to have the cleverest of that motion.
He's a left-hander.
One-on-one. Here's the bunch to the right of the mound.
Up-beauty, up-loaded.
Low-patch bubbles it.
Fix it up, nose him out.
A faster-unner might have beaten that one out.
But Low-patch knew he had only one play,
and in his anxiety,
bobbled it for a moment,
but retired Heinslemen with room to spare.
It's another sacrifice, and it is scored.
The pitcher, Low-patch.
To the second base in Coleman coverage.
That's the second sacrifice in listening,
and moves Goliath to the midway.
Just as Handler was moved along by Seminix.
Giving himself up.
One-on-one.
Seconds.
The lead leads, 2-1.
Two gone.
Goliath, 15-foot lead off the bag.
Waitgis, the latter.
Eddie, 1-3.
Batting, let's net it.
Low-patch draws.
Waitgis, puffs the foul.
A real zipper off.
There is.
Mask and chest protectors.
You know, when Cucklin became injured
in the first game, he decided he was going back
to the American League.
Pat.
It's airfield, you know.
He feels he didn't get enough protection.
Gokko, I'm firing right now to the right of the bag.
It's second.
Nothing in one counter-weight.
It's Low-patch now taking a lot of his good old time.
Trunky left-hand is stretching to check
Goliath is second.
Delivers.
Swinging.
A fly, off this pretty neat guard left field.
Moving back and under his foul,
and grabs it for the third half,
he's got to retire the side.
Waitgis flies to left.
They are playing him shadow and bow.
Had a charged back.
That's the third up.
In the seventh inning for the Fils,
the lead runs.
There are two hits with a pair of sacrifices
going in.
The run is caught by Handner driven in by Goliath.
No Yankee errors, and one man Goliath left on.
Six and a half in each score.
The Fils two, the Yankees one.
I said, Gordon, how the Boston Braes told you
in his own words last inning,
the Goliath super speed raisers can't be matched
for shaving ease and satisfaction.
Men, this razor gives you shaves worth talking about.
Good looking, refreshing shaves that really rate.
What more, it saves you time and bother,
for it changes place instantly,
swings instantly, and never jams or clogs.
No wonder men everywhere say it's the most
convenient razor they have ever used.
Believe me, it's all of that and plenty more.
Why not enjoy modern shaving comfort and convenience?
Buy a Goliath super speed razor at your favorite store.
Without exception, it's the greatest shaving value
ever offered.
The Goliath super speed razor comes with a 10-way
Goliath dispenser and a handsome, serviceable
styrene travel gate.
All in all, you get a big $1.75 value for only a dollar.
The big cat, the frail hitter, John Myers,
who was rescued when it appeared that his
national league career was over by the Yankees this season
and has come through in tremendous style.
Leaves off the face-line for men in the last of the seventh
and the Yankee fans storm up for Horelli.
Myers all for two, batting the tennis, swings and cuts
a high puff bow upstairs over our heads and out of play.
Perik has now sat down in the Yankee bullpen,
which has almost completely blocked him off you.
They have an alley in all, in right and left.
Nothing in one to Myers, the pitch, taken inside
near the hand, at high, ball one.
John popped to second in the second and is bounced out
for the first baseman in the fourth.
Ball two has occurred, adjustment inside.
It was around about, but too close.
Two in line, nobody out and nobody on
for the Yankees last of the seventh.
The ball, two for the Fils, one for the Yankees.
The wind up by Hanselman, he pitches,
between a high fly to deep right field,
moving back under and it's right in the wall and grabs it.
That ball was hit just about as well as any
toward the right field second and Del Henneth
was precisely right at the base of the 344 foot marker
in right field territory.
As a matter of fact, the fans out there were all standing up,
someone ready perhaps to grab a possible souvenir,
a long fly out to right field.
One away, and now Billy Johnson,
Alphatube batting right handed.
Strike one ball, slow curve on the inside corner.
Billy, Alphatube, only a jersey boy,
now makes his home in Augusta, Georgia.
A ball's one strike, two pumps by Hanselman,
he throws, outside and low.
The rabbit's tired, John.
Imagine there might be one of our listeners today,
a leading citizen of Augusta, Georgia.
Great baseball fan Bobby.
One to one, one to two pitches,
outside ball two to Johnson.
Two and one, Russ Meyer,
through ball pitching specialist,
warming up for the field, as a safety measure.
Two and one, swinging a foul,
upstairs, third deck out of play.
Two and two, score two to one.
The pills have racked up eight hits against Alphat,
and Hanselman has four to the angst to have that total.
Four, Anki running the third,
Phil runs him a sixth and seventh.
Hanselman set now on the square count pitch.
Delivers a zipping foul,
right to the lower box,
he's in the right of the crowd.
This is safety, we fans, get out of the way.
Here it comes back ball.
Square count.
Well, he's stuck out on the second,
and bounced out the third, and the fifth.
Feeds fairly close together.
Waiting, swinging the fifth,
fucking out, a stop, third ball.
Well, there's no question that the psychology of the crowd
is the only thing that's going to be the underdog.
That is the club that has two games down,
and for that kind of rooting,
I guess that Yankee Stadium is as good a mecca
as any place in the country.
They are cheering Hanselman's great efforts,
for he won only three games during the regular season,
and completed book four.
He faces big, swift, makes,
0-2, left-handed swingers.
He pitches, and it's like one ball,
that was a sneaky fast one,
Steve Agars falling him behind the plate.
Very ruddy complexion, chucky Texas.
My size, cow-hubbers.
Nothing in one.
Swinging, a ground ball,
hits softly the second, up with a goalie,
and quicks the first, hands on.
Dive, retired.
No runs, no hits, no errors, none left.
Argyllette's seven-ending total,
we'd like this.
For the Phillies, two runs,
eight hits, one error,
and the Phillies have five men left.
For the Yankees, one run,
four hits, no errors,
and four Bronx Plumbers have been left on.
I was talking with the aforementioned Tom Sperick,
the broad-beam right-hander
of the Yankees before the game today.
Tom, as you know, is a Philadelphia.
Matter of fact, he was asking us about the chances
of a 10-football team this Saturday
at First League, California,
against Happy Waldo, flying California 11.
But the benefit switched, of course, to baseball.
He felt there's a difference between these two teams,
thus far, was not exactly proficiency
and ability, because the pitchers had the duke.
It was, he said, experience.
He said, let's face it, Kelly,
these teams have been so well-scouted
by Bill Skip and Johnny Nune of the Yankees,
and George Earnshaw and Jack Sanford of the Phillies,
that the experience here pays off.
The movement of the feet around the box,
the slight shift toward left or right,
the knowledge that you have in a World Series performer.
He says, this is my first deal with the Yankees,
but that's my observation.
And I imagine it's as clean-cut as any that you could look for.
As the series now moves into the eighth inning
of the third game of the Phillies' leading,
Goudaouan and Ashburn is the batter.
Richie cuts and gets a handled foul
to the left side of the diamond
and well into the stand, strike one.
He has been struck out three times.
Three times with charm.
Mr. Lopez.
Stuck yet, goes to the rosin.
He knows now that he has found his fellow three times.
He's got to watch him.
Johnson's shadow with third base.
To wind up, he pitches, he swings.
A ground ball, passes to the right field,
looks for the eighth inning.
Ashburn takes the turn at first,
makes up with the ball,
whips a real line to the cutoff man,
Jerry Coleman at second.
Lead off single in the eighth inning.
He's got to keep the ball in the corner.
Jerry Coleman at second. Lead off single in the eighth inning.
And again, the hurry call comes from
pitching coach, Milkman Jim Gurnas,
and manages single to the Yankee bullpen.
Where I surmise again,
Farrak will be called upon.
Now there's another one out there again now.
Now that's the bullpen catcher again.
Tom Farrak, okay.
And Mage Halk out there.
Bullpen catcher.
Ashburn on with a single.
The field's ninth hit.
The batter is Woody John.
Infield looking for the buzz.
Comes around.
The buzz belong to first baseline foul.
In the first game of the series,
when Hopps supplanted Mies,
defensively,
they said it was a great move by Stingles.
And that's gone again.
You could see that Mies
had a bit of difficulty bending to his own right.
As it went through the hole between first and second
for a ground singular right for Ashburn.
A run around.
Jones, one to three. Quick go to first.
And the fleet Ashburn is back.
In a running contest,
I should imagine he'd run one, two, three.
If both clubs were involved.
Ashburn, nothing in one.
Jones coming around again.
Squaring away for the buzz.
Mies up with it. One play.
First base, Coleman covering in time.
The third sacrifice in Kuwini.
Moving Ashburn to second with one away.
Flates scored. Mies to first-sacker.
To Coleman, the second base been covering first.
For the most part, we've had pretty straight-based
ball here. The percentage, you see, the sacrifice.
Bitch out by Daron. A fine tick-off play.
Which wound up in the sixth, you remember.
I guess this was so happy. He forgot he was on first base.
Now here's Ennis with a run at second.
And one down.
Low pat, delivers. Close.
Ball one.
Low pat now.
Ehrling a bit more consciously than he did early in the struggle.
Well, this is still a fine ball game.
So the fields have out hit the Yankees nine to four.
They leave them two to one.
So the defense has had to be on the alert.
And the pitchers have had to bear down with one of those.
Ashburn, fifteen foot lead off second.
A stretch by Low Pat.
He pitches Ennis who swings.
It's a high fly ball to medium left field.
Moving over for the ball, his power.
Damage moves in. Says, I'll take it.
And the center field makes the put-out.
All the put-out was made in medium left center field.
Ennis flies to Damageo.
Two down.
Now, sister, who had been the victim of cat balls,
particularly those seated in left field,
but now has
what is the imaginative
appetite of the fans with his
single lead,
that is home Ennis.
For the first to run in the sixth inning.
Stick one for three, they'll picked off
by Berra, Gamay's,
in the sixth. Bounced out the first
and the fourth, and grounded out the Coleman
in the second.
Two gone.
That's the end of that stretch.
Sticking, he throws.
Wide on the curve, ball one.
Sister, I'll left handed batter.
With a one ball game.
I don't know.
He pitches.
Both, ball two, inside.
Well, the field fans have been complaining
about the ball being hit.
They're certainly out hitting the Yankees today,
but the big problem has been hitting in the clutch.
With a runner on and scoring position.
Two and 0, the sister.
Left hand low pass.
Stunning, delivering.
Swinging, a foul.
Right to Argyllette,
and in and out.
Just to our left, it hit a typewriter.
I think
the New York writers who covers the Brooklyn Dodgers
during the season.
Probably saying
it shouldn't happen to Shot.
Two and one.
Outfield, pushed slightly towards the right,
but they play him straight away
in all sectors on sister. Two and pitch.
Swinging, a foul.
High towards second base.
Coleman calling forward in front of Mice.
Mice says I'll take it and he does.
Big ready complexion. John ran right in front
of the fans.
He's going to carry that time
to wind up the inning for the Phillies
by grabbing sisters pop fly.
First baseman in the eighth inning.
The Phillies no runs. One hit.
No Yankee errors and one man
Ashburn left on a second.
Seven and one half innings have gone by
in the third game. The Phillies two.
The Yankees one.
They after day, Gillette Blue Blades

Use Gillette Blue Blades
for the sharpest edges ever hauled.
64,505
have paid their way into the stadium today.
A banner stadium crowd and now
defensively, Shoya Muzin
is pleased rookie up from
Toronto. Notre Dame
Jack Mayo.
This is the second time
he has taken over a similar post
in the series.
Jack Mayo
he'll take over in left field.
Of course he hasn't batted officially yet, but for the time being
bottom number five.
Woodling is going to be
set up now in the last of the eight
and hit her for Ed Lopez.
Woodling, a left handed batter
takes high, wall one.
Gino
of course has done it the first two games. He is
three for eight on a series play hitting a 375.
Heinzmann's curve is in there.
LeCoultre strike one.
Last of the eight.
Woodling batting for the pitcher, Lopez.
Left handed swinger.
Heinzmann ready, delivers.
He swings in a turn.
Back two.
Heinzmann you'll see is not one of these
fellows that works up a perspiration very easily.
And he has
apparently kept on to a store of reserve in this game.
He's a quick worker
but paces himself.
Doesn't throw too hard. One and two.
The big pitch.
Half swing but a take low ball two.
Those umpires watch the break of the wrist.
The inset.
On those half swings.
Two, two counts to Woodling.
The pitch.
He swings. There's a lazy tough fly
going for a short stop.
Under at Hamner the short stop.
Waiting. Squeezes it for the first stop.
Wonder.
Well that means the Yankees
will offer up probably
Tom Thurick in the field path
of the ninth inning. But they easily
two to one.
The Yankees, uh, now
points out have to hit
but five bounces to the infield.
Field residual.
On twice with walks.
And the one Yankee runs scores and a pop fly
to second. Swings
and sends a zipper to third. A grasp gun.
Jones spears. Josephers
and a
two up to now.
Last three eighths.
Third to first with the fly.
First this is the big game for the Phillies.
They drop this one and there's
the far gone conclusion they're out of it.
But a two one standing
particularly since they come into the stadium
by leading, if they should win
changes the complexion
of the series entirely.
The batter is Jerry Coleman
who is two for three.
And a run driven in.
Looks at the low curve outside
right hander's swinger. Ball one.
This slender second base.
It appears whenever the chip
so down performs greatly. He did
so in his last world series
in nineteen forty nine.
One ball and no strikes.
Pinesman throwing. Jerry takes.
Inside. Ball two.
Two and oh.
Yankees is scored to try
to throw his fellow off the mark.
Especially since he gave up
the run with two gone in the third.
When Rasuda had watched,
stole second and took third on the bad
goal by Semitic and Coleman
singled him home. Two and nothing fixed.
Strike one ball.
Cut the inside corner with a pretty bad
hook.
Blender number forty two. Jerry Coleman.
Born in San Jose,
California.
Two and one. Two gone.
The pitch.
Low and outside.
Ball three. Now the curve
begins marmarite. They sense of course
that Yankees did something similar
before and there is a power driver
coming up. Yogi Berra.
Should Coleman stay alive.
And on percentage Yogi would be
due since he is hitler today.
Now three and one.
Got to make this one good.
He pitches. Strike two ball.
Pull count.
Now Coleman steps out for moments.
Talking on his cut.
Bigs in. Getting a throw hold.
Pull count.
Now Coleman steps out for moments.
Talking on his cut.
Bigs in. Getting a throw hold.
Thing runs out.
He finds him and pitches.
He swings and sends a foul just beyond
the third base coach for steady of Yankees.
Still three and two.
Ball rolls out a short left field.
And Hanner jogs over to throw it out.
Two to one.
Last Saturday evening.
Third game of the 1950s ball clasping.
Two men gone for New York.
And Coleman three and two.
New ball in play.
Hinescom and sec. Pitches.
Hinescom and the ball.
In the bullpen.
Funtzetti gets the sign to warm up for the Phillies.
All the while Farrak has been heating up.
I mean you've got to heat up today.
In the light field Yankee bullpen.
You have two premier relievers.
The National and American League.
Getting set for possible duty.
The runner at first call represents
the Central tying run.
Dara is the batter.
And Yogi looks at a high wide pitch for ball one.
That was a four clock given up by Hinescom.
He touches.
The pitch is taken inside around the chin.
Ball two.
Two and O.
And saying that his veteran left hander is in trouble.
The Phillies catch a walk out of the mound.
It's all things over.
With lefty catch.
Ten thousand bleachers.
Standing or my mission.
Go on sale tomorrow at 9 a.m.
Eastern Standard Time.
Here at New York Yankee Stadium.
For those of you with an air shot.
And travel shot.
Radio baseball arena.
Join out of error.
He has one of the four passes.
Bished out.
By Hanklin.
He grounded out weekly in the fourth to the pitcher.
And then fouled out to summon a catch.
All for two.
And two and O.
The pitch.
Ball three.
Three and O.
Hanklin has lost the target.
And ball four.
And go to our show.
Thumbs up.
And that automatically brings Mr. Eddie Sawyer.
To those pilots.
Out of the third base dugout.
That's from it here.
And LingWant.
We know.
And now I think you'll bear me out.
That Hanklin's confetti didn't get the sign to warm up.
Until a few moments ago.
He usually takes 20 pitches.
At least.
Varied deliveries.
He's been himself heated up well enough to enter a ball game.
Especially now.
With the tying run at second base.
The lead run at first base.
Join out in the last of the eighth.
And the filly is leading two to one.
Did you see that he can stand to get up a short while ago?
Just a moment ago.
That's right, Shane.
He's had.
He's almost had time to get his 20 pitches in.
But.
Not too much time.
We need to get really warm.
Heinselman will often run the count full.
As he did when he walked home.
But.
When he lost Sarah on free and all.
Shoya became a bit concerned.
They are leading Heinselman in the game.
And he is facing the man who broke up yesterday's struggle.
In the 10-10.
Jota Macho.
With one for three.
This is a big moment for Yankee Ho.
Climb his falls.
And Heinselman shoals off the mound.
Counting ball into glove all the way.
Seminik jogs up.
The module.
Like Mannequin appearance.
A great performer.
In his 9th world series.
Heinselman.
And the stretcher.
As long as the person is second.
Delivers.
Inside high.
Jota Macho.
Twisting his neck on that one.
Ball one.
He's fly to Anderson right on the first.
To short left in the fourth.
And fly to left in the sixth.
Ball two.
Is wide.
Two and 0.
Two and X. There's Hank Power.
There are two men gone.
There are at first base. Jerry Coleman.
At second for Yankee.
So these lead. Two to one.
Last for the eighth.
Two and nothing pitch.
Wide and high. Ball three.
If nothing else.
This has allowed Constanti to get warmer.
For he is now free and nothing to Demarjo.
He pitches.
Ball four.
And now.
I believe that they are going to call
Jim Constanti into the ball game.
Power is
signal for the Yankee dugout by Stingles.
As they'll talk over offensive strategy.
The bases are loaded on free straight walks.
To Coleman, Vera and Demarjo.
With Sumina.
And Constanti is being waved in.
From a field bullpen.
As he makes the long trip from left field.
We pause ten seconds.

Back at Yankee stadium in New York.
Jim Constanti is greeted with.
Cheers.
He's been playing in left.
Which will probably pick up.
As he walks in.
Draw them out.
He of course broke the all time record.
For relief appearances.
And game appearances by a Stingles pitcher.
Going to the Knowles.
74 different times during the 1950 season.
He was a surprise starter.
In the opening game of the world series.
And virtually matched.
Racky pitch for pitch.
He lost one to nothing.
In the eight innings he worked.
Hanselman will now be retired.
After having her old seven and two thirds innings.
He has given up.
One run earned.
And four hits.
But he has walked six men.
And apparently.
Undoubtedly as a matter of fact.
Was firing.
He just wasn't near the plate at all.
And to Vera he was three and all.
That means.
That he threw four eight nine.
And that was.
Another.
One.
And.
Another.
One.
I imagine even the.
Most optimistic of my woman's personal supporters.
Have been surprised that he worked this long.
Concerning.
said, give me a picture who hurls seven effective innings to tie them or head them by just one
and then Constanney will do the rest. He is not necessarily a cold weather performer
and was ineffective in the latter stage of the campaign but he certainly proved his worth
and of course did not make Sly a look bad when he started out. Now the man who has a
tremendous World Series batting average Bobby Brown who was 3-4-8 on this series and before
hit was 9-4-15 for a total of 12-4-23. How's that for batting average? That's about 5-25
batting average. In World Series play he of course got the skimming double of what Constanney
said was his sleight of pitch and it was the one blow which set up the run that won the
game for Vic Bracky and the fourth inning on the opening day of the class. So he is
going to swing for Hank Bowen who though a long ball hitter single is playing percentage
now. He sends the left handed slinger up there, Doc Brown. Two man outs, the base is loaded
and the batting average is 5-4-23. The batting average is 6-3-4-23.
Usually these are the situations that Constanney revels in. He steps off to grab the powder.
This is the last of the eighth a real exciting frame. Free walk, paces loaded. One of nothing
but a swing and a foul. Upstairs, run a play, strike one. We mentioned to Stryker and Stenney's
palm ball to you on opening day. He holds the ball at the base of his forefinger and middle
finger and releases the fingers on a pitch of the last instance. It breaks down and unlike
many other palm balls which are used as change ups by Herla's it has spin to it and breaks
away suddenly. He mixes it with a slider and screwball. He's ready for one one pitch.
One swing, a foul. Behind the plate, strike two. This is a tense inning because the Yankee
tower already has been up considering that Vera and Amarjo will get that long ball for
you and that Coleman has played very great base ball in this series. Coleman at third,
Vera at second, Amarjo first. The shot is one and two on Bobby Brown, setting for Hank
Bowers against reliever Jim Consetti. The right hander Hicks throws. He swings and lost the
foul, court left. Mayo reaches for the ball but can't make it. Defensively now you know
Mayo has supplanted Schussler in left field. Ash Vernon center and his in right. The infield
pass. Waitress Goliath Hamner and Jones and Consetti and Seminix decide to cross a little
bit out there midway between mound and plate. Two to one. So these leads while the Yankees
are in a threat. The base is ordered with two gone. Now Consetti in a motion. He swings
and comes to ground ball to Hamner. How about it? He follows it. The win starts. There
was a ball near the middle but Hamner charged up and had plenty of time for a fourth on Amarjo
at second. But he lost the handle and a flying run scores. That of course is an unarmed run.
That would have represented the third out. Coleman comes in. There is no RBI. Vera moves
to third. Amarjo to second. Brown are first on Hamner's error. And time is called. I run
out Jackie Jensen. We'll move into the game for Doc Brown. Jackie Jensen leads California
football. Blanche who turned the baseball. Bonus rookie with the Yankees. Husky Blunt.
Consetti set the pitch to Mies. Low ball one. It's Fran Huligan. Two and two last to
the eighth. Now this is a game brought with drills. The errors however have played an important
part. The fielding laps. One or nothing to Mies. Strike one ball. That's all to third.
And the runner-up Vera is back. As a matter of fact after Hamner had wobbled the ball,
Vera got back safely on that last play. The throw at her chance is a bit high. One on
one to Mies. Pitch swings on the two. Strike two. That's the second field error in this
game. The German accounting had committed one earlier. One on two counts. Consetti
pitch, Mies swings and zips the fouls wide of the bag along the first base line by a
foot. The line umpire. Bill McKinley out there throws it out of play. Red Clay serves as
the protective warning to fielders as they run near the stands for chances on the outfield
and the foul territory and the infield. Still one and two on Johnny Mies. Bases both over
the Yankees. Two gone. Ready for the pitch. He draws. He swings as they high pop near the
stands of third. John's going over. Near it and makes it. Well that was an exciting
eighth inning. The Yankees score one run unearned. There were three walks given up to
Heinsmann and the runners charged to him. The arrow was made by Hamner as Brown batted
for power facing Consetti. There were no hits. There was one error and three Yankees
were left on. Eight innings. Four ties. The Phillies two. The Yankees two. Men's modern
Gillette one piece racers are the finest shaving instruments money can buy. They give you
slick good looking shades. Comfortably and save you time as well. You see there's nothing

just loosen the holder rinse and shake. Buy a Gillette one piece razor. Any model you
select includes a supply of Gillette blue blades and is attractively packaged in a
permanent travel case. The base on balls has proven a big nemesis to the Phillies pitchers
today. The Yankees scored on a walk to Rizzuto with two gone. A still one base by
Phill and a bad throw by Seminick allowing him to move to third. Then Coleman drilled
in home with a single to last. Virtually the same thing happened in the eight except
that this time Hanselman lost the mark entirely. On the hook for this game will be
the relief pitchers for the time being with big Tom Farah moving in. Now Joe Collins
who has nurtured in the Yankee farm system is going to be the first baseman and Woodling
who batted for a low pack is going to play left field. That means Woodling will bat
night and it means that Collins will bat number five. Brown you see batted for a
bar and Jensen ran for it. So Collins is moved into the number five slot right now
and you're batting a ray. Stadies and Thurick's game now. Either to win or to lose.
Both low pack and Hanselman are off the hook. Now as to which pitcher out pitched which
in this ball game you might say that Hanselman was naturally more effective.
The runs scored on the error but he did display vast ineffectiveness by passing the
free man Coleman Berra and Imaggio. However officially at least game saying the fact
the walk did cause trouble the error was the big move. Berra's record appearing in
46 games both as a Brownie and a Cardinal 81 and he's picked he won nine and lost seven.
Brownie and the Yankee of course. St. Louis Brown's New York Yankee. Game to the Yankee
of the United States. Admit these. All the adopted Philadelphia faces. Right hander
delivers. Handers playing. A long drive to left field. Imaggio going way back.
There's Hanselman moving to second base but a great save by Imaggio. Holds him to two.
A great save. A double by Handers.
Third World Series double. And his third hit on the ball game. That was a tremendous drive
at least 400 feet away from home plate and in shy park was a home run.
Imaggio running. Caught the ball. Picked up the ball. With his bare hand while it was
hopping and but for that and it would have had three. Climb is called.
Dominic. Converting with. Sawyer. And Handler runs in from the bag at second to talk things
over with his skipper and bench police and Benny Vengar.
Now I believe that ball was hit as long as any in the series. Including Joe's Joe's yesterday.
It dropped down there pretty close to the red play and Joe of course made a great play on it.
Running away from the infield.
So Handler picks up a powering double. Number three in the series. The infield mows
these up closely. Dominic is about a one for two officially. A single is strike off and a sacrifice.
Derek in the stretch. Delivering. High outside a pitch out. Ball one.
Mera. Shipped it to his own right. In an effort perhaps to keep Handler alive at second base.
Residual as close to the bag as a shortstop. Derek in the stretch checks it. Delivers.
Off the bird. A scoop. Heavy runner runs the third base. Here's a butterfly in time.
Now Johnson had a chance to grab that ball on a fly but preferred to scoop it up and possibly hold
Handler at second base. Instead Handler with the sort of near the bag ran behind the third baseman Johnson
and virtually walled into the hot corner and Seminick who could hardly run at all,
limped down to first base. Johnson held out of the ball like it was a hot potato.
It goes as a sacrifice. He pulls Handler to third base and the play is Johnson to the first base.
Joe Collins. That was really a unique play and I'm sure we'll be talking about tonight.
They're going to put Goliath on and Whitman is going to back four come steady.
There's ball one wide and Derek throws wide again. Ball two. Well I've never seen one like that in quite a while.
It appeared as though Johnson just didn't know what to do with the ball but that his first thought was to let the ball drop
so that he could scoop it up and make sure that he could check the man at second and throw Seminick out at first.
He grabbed the ball on the fly. He still would have held the man at second who was way off the bag.
He backed at second. Wasn't covered at the time. Confused Bill.
Because you see on the putt the second base was moving over to first to cover and Rosuto was near the bag.
So Goliath has now been passed intentionally. Handler is at third. There was one man out and Whitman will back for come steady.
So Zoya must give up come steady to a finch hitter.
Whitman has been walked once in the World Series in his previous loan appearance. He bats left handed.
The infield is all the way in. Tom Perrick in the stretch delivers high and wide ball one.
This is the top of the ninth. The score is tied to a two without a lot of excitement here.
Will you fans on Gillette's cattle get a court broadcast. One or nothing pitch.
Wide but on the corner. On the corner. He threw him outside and caught the corner. Strike one. One ball one strike.
One gone. Runner's on at first and third. The stretch by Perrick. He pitches. Six swings.
The fly. Lost it foul on a play. First base side and downstairs.
Strike two. Whitman is from Oregon. First base as you reckon those folks out in Eugene, Oregon are happy about the way the field plays.
He was born in Whitman and will celebrate his 30th birthday the ninth of next month. 511 170.
The square showed a shot with sharp features and he is now making the bid in his second World Series.
He played you see for Brooklyn last season. There's the fellow that's really been playing in good fortune.
One and two counts. Whitman the finch hitter for Constati.
Perrick hides the ball behind his right knee. Gets the sign. Moves into the stretch.
Delivers. Whitman swings. A ground foul. First base side. Just to the right of the Yankee dugout. Still one and two.
Howl of a ninth. There's a hard stopper at this ball game. Two and two tie. One gone. Two on. Goldy at his first. Tanner at third.
He's still close. Perrick has the peculiar sign of hiding the ball behind his right knee.
Ready on one and two pitch. Slow stretch. Delivers. The swing. A slow ground ball. First.
Collins doubled it. Go to the plate. He is out. The other choice play and a fine one by first-saccer Joe Collins. The reserves today and the bench of Stingel is again asserting itself.
If not offensively then certainly defensively. And here comes Casey again out of the New York dugout. Wait kisses the batter.
There are two gone. The play went to first base then Joe Collins to the catcher Yogi Berra who planted his compact buddy to guard the plate to onrushing runner Granny Hamner.
That's two down. Goldy out moving to second. And Hamner retired at the play. That's what we call a three-two play if you're keeping score on a radio scorecard today.
While that building the stoppers out on the strategy today. The veteran campaigner Stingel who was once a fill. And now we have another move by Zoya, a runner for Goliath.
Goliath is what might be termed medium fast with his feet. And Ralph Cavalero, the audience lad, is making his second pinch running appearance of the World Series.
Running for Goliath. Oh that means of the game. Well of course the game will move into the last of the night.
Ludworth would be the second baseman for the Phillies. C-A-B-A-L-L-E-R-O. Now Wacus is the batter. One for four.
Swing's left handed. Runner's leading off first and second. Big turn and a motion delivers. Strike one goal. His inner defense came to his rescue that time.
And it forced the Phillies to give up their eighth-grade eaver. And Stingel you see. So that Stingel's move for the time being looks sharp.
Well the second guess is tonight. Nothing in one of Wacus. The pitch. He swings. Since a high slide, a short right. Holding in on the ball.
And with Nate falling for it, he has it. Bies retired and a big field threat is snuffed out on climberly pitching by Tom Berick and an alert Yankee defense which for the moment commited an error of omission when Billy Johnson the third baseman forgot for the moment as to where to throw the ball.
So the side is retired and the top of the night. Noron. One hit, a double by Hanner which is erased at the plate. A walk thrown in intentionally. No errors by the Yankees.
And two fills left on. At the end of eight and a half. Moving to the nub end now. A two-two tie. And let's see what manager Eddie Sawyer has to offer up in a way of a release early.
He has not as yet made his appearance. Now moving out, Russ Meyer. This is his second relief appearance. He gave up. One hit in the first game when he in turn relieved Konstadie as a scotter.
It was a topper down the third baseline on which Johns couldn't handle and then retired the side without any further trouble after that.
So he has heard one inning of series play. His national league seasonal record with the Phillies, nine and eleven. So Sawyer is going with Meyer who has some of the finest breaking stuff in the national league because a whip-crack curve and a screwball.
Well, well, are we going to have a marathon again today? Hard to say, Gene, but I know as far as the fans are concerned, maybe they don't care. Maybe they would like to have some extra innings because they love their big wall.
Well, a big break in the game, of course. I've been a bop of the short stuff. And the Phil certainly had a grand opportunity. And the double tonight on Havana's double, I want you to consider the fact that Johnson did not catch Seminix's hard hit Bunk Pop on the fly.
You, again, see the Yankee traditional courage being shored up. Also, DeLondro's play and saving the double that could have easily been a trouble against any other centerfielder.
Jimmy Bloodworth, who's in as a second baseman, he's a veteran campaigner of both leagues. He played for both Detroit and Washington, while the Pittsburgh Clarets, for the Cincinnati Reds, and were secured in a deal on the 11th of May from the Reds by the Phillies as the utility infielder has done a grand job.
Now, Russ Meyer, in the last of the ninth, he faces Billy Johnson, a third baseman. The curve is low and wide, ball wide. Johnson will be followed by Cliff Mates, and in the pitcher Tom Fering. Last of the ninth, high score 2-2.
The pitch, strike one ball, overhand curve ball. Meyer very rarely throws a straight ball except on a waist pitch or a bait. He'll throw the hook and the screw ball. One-on-one.
Blanky right-hander delivers. Wide, ball two. Two-on-one. Johnson is all for three. He's struck out twice to Heinzelman and bounced out third to first. Two-all-one strike now. Meyer winding delivery.
Ball three, low inside. That first man on in a tie game at the end, of course, is a big break. That's an explosive club, such as the Yanks, so all three games have been tighter than drums.
Three-on-one. He throws. Strike two, called. Another down-breaking jug-handled curve. Heinzelman hurled the first seven and two-thirds, and Sandy got the final man out in the eighth, but he went out for the pinch hitter, as Zoya had a gamble to take away his ace reliever.
The full count of early Johnson. The big pitch. He swings, the line drives, beats the left. Mayo moving back, grabs it. He almost overplayed the ball, moving back, and then moved in a stride, landed his feet on the side, and speared it for the put-out.
One down. Now Mates. The big fit for the Anki homerun came from another left-handed swinger, Johnny Mize, who is now out of the game.
Here is Mates batting left-handed. Take strike one call. The screwball caught the outside corner. The fast pitch. That is thrown, of course, with a risk breaking in, and a way to left-handed batters from a right-hatter.
Second pitch. Strike two call. That screwball broke a foot. This fellow is a tremendous campaigner, Mayer. He, of course, has been his own worst enemy at times, implying to curb his temper, but he has an enormous desire to win.
Nothing in two. One away, nobody on. Last of the ninth try scored 2-2. Russ Mayer delivers. Mates swings and it's in. Look him up.
Now Woodling. That is, the pitcher, of course, has moved up in a slot. Woodling, who is the left-fielder. The pitcher would then bat fifth, and the first baseman, Collins, would move up sixth.
The batting order should read, Resudo, Coleman, Berra, DiMaggio. The pitcher, Collins, Johnson, Mates, and Woodling, who is batting in ninth position, but playing left-field.
Batting left-handed. Mayer delivers. Strike one call. This is the second trip for Gene. He popped out to short.
As a finisher for Lopez, in the eighth inning. Swing and cut the foul behind the plate. A ball that was delivered high and was starting to break down low. Gene was trying to meet the ball on a hanging break and got a lazy foul rolling behind the plate.
Strike two. Strike two.
Two gone. Nobody odd. Last half of the ninth inning. Woodling with candid swingers. Fyre, way ahead, 0-2. Gortyze, 2-2. In the big, majestic motion. He kicks, delivers. As a hopper, over the mound. Moving in, blood-worth.
Hopped it. Hopped it. Goes the first. Not on time. Up, down, up again. Going out on time. It may go. No, it goes as an error. On the...
He hit it. Bait it. He switched off. An in-field single to the second baseman. Scratch. Now, Razuto. That was a high, chopping ball. It went behind the mound. Blood-worth charged it and an anxiety to throw it first, lost it entirely.
Went as a single to the second baseman. Strike one called on Razuto. Furball. Bill is offered to officially, he was passed twice by Heinzelman. Hopped a second and bounced out the third. All trips again, Heinzelman. As a matter of fact, he was the second out before Ken. Walked three Yankees in a row on that big eighth inning.
Nothing I wanted to build. The pitch. Ball one. Dust a bit. Weaves that low and outside. One-on-one. One ball, one strike. Two gone. Runner at first base. Jean Woodling. Fire and a big stretch. Six throws.
A swing. Align drive. A sweet save by Bloodworth. The runner kicks the ball. The runner kicks the ball and he may... Now he calls him safe.
Now, Bloodworth dives to his own right and has ever to trap the ball, which he did, but is suited back to the bag. And Heinz and I, Woodling, split, but was already in the bag when the ball hit his foot. So, as far as Tomlin was concerned, he had reached base safely. He had reached second court and thus did not kick the ball while in actual play.
With one of those things having already touched the field. So, everybody is safe and it goes as a single off the second base.
On that play, Bloodworth made an excellent effort to move the ball. Kick it almost as a matter of fact back to the bag so that Hamlet could kick the ball up to try to force. But it went for naught.
We've seen all silly bullpen activities. The Yankees have runners on at first and second. Woodling at second. Resid all with a single.
At first, the first hit of course was a scratcher. The second was a pretty well hit ball and Bloodworth made a college try effort on it. Residing it from Woodling to the outfield.
Now, Jerry Coleman, who knocked in the first run. So, the Yankees have scored two. The second run, officially, was not fatted in. It came home on an error.
Bobby Brown was batting for Hank Bauer with the bases loaded and two gone in the eighth inning. And as Hamlet raced towards second base to pick it up and force out Demond Joe coming in, he lost the handle.
Well, we've had some odd fielding plays but it's one of those kind of games on which the fans hear Ford. H-Ford on their feet. Ready for the break.
Now, the right hand of Meyer facing Coleman. The right hand is battered. Delivers. Strike one ball. Curve ball. The rough inning now.
Last of the ninth and a do or die threat by the Yankees here at the tail end of the regulation distance.
Now, ball one strike out. He checks it second. He comes to the plate. A high curve too close. Ball one. Jerry has two hits.
And he lined into a double play and he had a walk thrown in. Matter of fact, he batted in first run and scored the second for New York.
That came in the eighth inning. Yankees scored their first from the third and the field for sixth and the seventh. What a great opportunity.
Whiteout came the ninth. One on one counter-calling. Delivery. The swing. It drives off to a deep left center field. Moving over for the ball.
Can't get it. Dean Woodley. The Yankee twins. Three to two. Coming across the plate is Dean Woodley.
They were playing on the shuttle and the ball dropped in between Ashburn and Jackie Mayall in left center field and Jerry Coleman.
Rusty comes the hitting hero of the New York Yankees who consequently sweep the first three games of the World Series all by one run margin.
One to nothing. Two to one. And three to two. And Russ Meyer, of course, is a very, very unhappy person right now.
As he slopes, goes the dugout and gives us outfielders a dark look for two speedy man, Mayall and Ashburn, but not catch up with the ball.
So the winning run has scored and is earned with two outs. One run. Three hits. No errors. And two and left on.
New York Yankee. Three runs. Seven hits. No errors. The Phillies two runs. Ten hits. Two errors. The winning pitcher is stark. The losing pitcher is Meyer.
A great ball game brought with consistent drills all after the home with a big break game when Hamner earned in the eights to allow the tying run to score.
And the Yankees wiped out a big field threat in the top of the ninth. And that's all she wrote before 64,505.
The Sac�rate 1, on a jollette cavalque du scores.
