Hyiiiiai DODGERS PICK Players' Numbers dljtrago Datlij dributif Thursday, October 1, 1953 Pare 3 Triple Starts Yanks on Way PLAY BY PLAY OF YANKS' 1ST I Billy Martin, Yankee second third after triple with bases loaded in first inning of yesterday's world series opener in Yankee stadium. Throw-in (arrow) from center field glanced 'off Martin's hip as Billy Cox, Dodger third and 2, restored the Yanks' original four run lead by bashing his homer into the right field seats. Shuba Hits Pinch Homer Reynolds began his- hapless sixth by pitching himself into a 3 and 2 situation against Hodges, who followed with his homer into the left field wing of the grandstandhis first hit after 24 futile attempts in world series A fly ball disposed of Then Cox singled and Shuba, batting for Hughes, drilled his homer into the right field wing. It set him up alongside Berra and John Mize as the only producers of pinch homers in a world series. Sain finished the inning successfully, but not until after Reese had walked and Snider had singled.

Robinson tapped to McDougald for the third out. The seventh was a hectic round for Sain and a couple or rifle throws by Berra probably were the only reasons the National leaguers didn't do more than tie the score at five apiece. Campanella started with a looping single to left. Hodges and Furillo drilled singles into center for the run. Cox bunted and Berra threw to McDougald for a force at third.

Labine also bunted and Berra repeated the play, after which Gilliam fouled to Berra. Collins' Home Run Breaks Tie Collins', homer that zoomed into the right field seats to break, the tie with two out in the Yanks' portion of the seventh wasn't the only disturbing happening for the delegates from Brooklya Bauer crashed a single into left. Berra rifled one into right, but Wade came dashing to Labine's rescue and closed the inning by fanning Mantle. The little clincher put on by the Yankees in the eighth didn't get under way until after one was out. Martin singled to right for his third hit and stole second after which Rizzuto walked Both raced across the plate on Sain's two bagger into right After McDougald had flied out, Collins 1 dropped a single at Furillo's feet for the last run.

after Reynolds' first pitch and it sailed along the left field line for a double, Campanella stopping as third, Wayne Belardi was rushed forth to swing for Erskine. Reynolds fanned him. Hughes Starts Impressively Hughes began his relief job impressively by permitting only three Yankees to face him in the second. He continued to be a dazzler by fanning Bauer and Berra to start the third. At this point, Mickey Mantle cut in with the Yanks' third hit, a single to right but Campanella's rifle ami took care of him when he attempted to steal second.

What the did afield in the fourth indicated they were about to fall apart. But Jthe harm resulting was a couple of marks in their error column. With one out, Martin bunted in front of the plate. Campanella started out to field the ball, but suddenly turned to Umpire Bill Grieve with a complaint that the batter had interfered. Hughes fielded the ball, but the throw was not only, too late but wild, Martin- going to second and thence to third on Furillo's wild throw.

But Rizzuto out to Cox and Reynolds, who walked, was forced by McDougald. Gilliam Hits Home Run Reynolds glided thru the third and fourth innings with the damage limited to two walks, but the fifth made it obvious that he was tiring. 1 The fifth opened with Hughes striking out. Gilliam crashed his bat against the first pitch and the ball drifted into the seats in right behind the 344 foot sign. Reese also swung at the first pitch and flied to Bauer.

Snider fouled off the first pitch but, with the count, 2 and 2, doubled to right Robinson walked on four pitches. The inning ended with Campanella flying deep to Woodling. Berra and Snider featured the Yankee half of the fifth. The latter leaped high in front of the right center field fence to snare a. drive by Collins, who led off.

Against Bauer, the count went to 1 and 2 before the rugged right fielder, shot his liner into center.

Snider played it none too well and it bounced past for three bases. Collins scored and the panic was on. Marin's Triple Scores For a few moments, Erskine seemed to have found his bearings. He fanned Berra, one of the strikes a whistling drive into the right field seats, but on the wrong side of the foul marker by inches. Four more pitches put Gene Woodling aboard, filling the bases, but not for long.

Three pitches' later, Martin sent Robinson and Snider galloping into left center for the triple that cleared the bases. Erskine's act for the day closed with Bill Cox throwing out Phil Rizzuto. Reynolds gave the Dodgers an opening in the second when Roy Campanella, leading off, was grazed on the right hand as he fell away from an inside pitch. The Negro star loitered on first while Hodges was flying gently to Woodling. The next incident was a called third strike on Carl Furillo.
