Winning Pitcher: Ruben Gomez
Losing Pitcher: Mike Garcia

Noteworthy Stats:

• Willie Mays: 3-for-5, key RBI hits.
• Cleveland stranded numerous runners; their bats stifled by Giants pitching.

Summary: The Giants’ combined hitting strength and pitching depth, especially Dusty Rhodes’ clutch bat, overpowered the Indians.

The Giants take a 3–0 lead in the series, seemingly on course for a historic sweep.

[Frank]

Good afternoon, fans, and it's really a pleasure to have Al Rosen, the capable third baseman of the Cleveland Indians, on our Gillette program this afternoon. Al, they tell me you're not going to play this afternoon.

[Al Rosen]

That's right, Frankie. Due to this thigh injury of mine, my right leg has been acting up quite bad. You remember seeing me run and we feel that possibly I'd be of more value to the team in a pin sitter's role or even playing in the later innings of a ball game, if necessary. And certainly I can't help the ball club by trying to go all the way.

[Frank]

Well, I know you would help it if you were in there. Now, look, Al, what's happened in these last two games from a player's viewpoint?

[Al Rosen]

Well, strictly from a player's viewpoint, we feel that one base hit an either ball game, or even a fly ball in either ball game. The game might have gone the other way. We ran into magnificent pitching, terrific defensive ball club, even though I must say for our own pitchers, I think our pitchers were as good as anything we saw from the Giants.

[Color Commentator]

We.

[Al Rosen]

We just didn't get the runs at the Giants. Did they capitalize more on opportunities than we thought?

[Frank]

Win picked a terrific game yesterday. But how about that little Antonelli?

[Al Rosen]

Johnny's come a long way since I saw him this spring. And he certainly deserves the reputation that we've received, that we've heard about him. Johnny certainly is one of the finer left handers in the game. He's certainly as good as anything we've seen in our league.

[Frank]

Did you hit against him in the All Star Game?

[Color Commentator]

Yes, I did.

[Frank]

How'd you do?

[Al Rosen]

Well, I think John had a bad day. And by the great stuff.

[Frank]

Wait a minute. Did you hit a home run? You hit two home runs in the All Star Game?

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Yes, I did, Frank.

[Al Rosen]

I did.

[Frank]

Now, what happened yesterday with the man on second base?

[Al Rosen]

Well, I think Johnny was just a better pitcher yesterday. Maybe I was the worst hitter, I don't know. But Johnny fooled Me, yesterday, I certainly wasn't looking for a fastball with man on set, a tying run on second base.

[Frank]

Al, didn't he throw you two fastballs?

[Color Commentator]

Yes, he did.

[Al Rosen]

He got one up around my letters, which I think is my long ball.

[Color Commentator]

The fastball up.

[Al Rosen]

And then he got another one right down around my knees. And I should have been swinging.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Frank.

[Color Commentator]

Yeah. You know, we've been hearing so much

[Frank]

about playing in a state and ballpark. Do you think a ballpark makes any difference?

[Al Rosen]

No, I really don't. I think that sometimes the ballpark looks funny to you when you first walk in it.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

But most fellas that have been around

[Al Rosen]

the big leagues for a few years have managed to see most of the ballpark. Now, our club has seen the Polo Grounds. We played numerous exhibition games there. And at the end of our spring training season. So actually, there's no advantage, I don't

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

believe, to any pitcher working in a

[Al Rosen]

certain ballpark or any hitter having to hit against a certain wall in the ballpark.

[Frank]

Well, it's certainly been a terrific series so far. I know profella, in my case has

[Color Commentator]

been in as many World Series games.

[Frank]

I. I've been getting a terrific thrill out of this thing. Say, Al, I got a little gift here for you. And it's a new Gillette one piece razor set.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

And in the back Here is the

[Frank]

1954 World Series record book.

[Color Commentator]

I know you'll enjoy that.

[Frank]

And just stick around with me for

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

a minute, will you?

[Frank]

I want the fans to look for this Gillette display at your favorite store. You'll find this big little book filled with baseball tracks. And they got the diagrams of all the ballparks, all the major league ballparks. Now here's a Cleveland Stadium, seats 73,500. That's quite a stadium. The seating section and everything's right in there. And you got 112 pages of real dope on World Series history. And then we turn back here.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Al, this is important.

[Frank]

I think this is a great little

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

thing in this book.

[Frank]

Hands on winning baseball. And then you got batting.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

You know, it's good for little leaguers,

[Color Commentator]

good for semi professional ball players, college ball players.

[Frank]

In fact, I get a kick out of reading it. It's got base, running, fielding, pitching, and the player rosters of all clubs. And I hope the fans will get this quick. Last year a lot of fans waited a little too long and thousands of fans miss out. So I hope they'll bear down this

[Color Commentator]

year and get them soon.

[Frank]

Al Roen, lots of luck to you. Thank you I hope that leg comes along because fans, he's a great guy on the field and off the field. Thanks for being on. Our lot of luck to you. And our next will be a young fellow that did a courageous job yesterday. I admire this young guy. He walked out his first world sewage game. Johnny Antonelli. How old are you now, John?

[Color Commentator]

24.

[Frank]

Frank, 24. Now, I want to ask you one question. I felt for you in that press sitting yesterday with the three men on. What did Leo say when he walked out to the mound? Were you nervous?

[Color Commentator]

No, I don't think I was nervous. I believe I was trying a little harder.

[Frank]

Well, I would have been, but I

[Color Commentator]

mean, he just tried to calm me down. I believe he didn't actually say much about the game. He just came out there to talk to me and that was it.

[Frank]

Say in the last inning you had a man on, first and third, one out. What were you aspiring to, Vic Worth?

[Color Commentator]

Mostly fastballs at that time, Frankie, that's

[Frank]

when you did a. Let me brag about you a little. I know you don't. You don't care about it too much. But for a young guy, 23, 24 years old, pitching his first World Series game, this kid, the man sending the Giants leading three to one, did a terrific job to count three and two.

[Color Commentator]

I think he saw off about five or six pitches.

[Frank]

Five or six pitches and still you didn't walk. What about the double play ball? The ball went there. Regaldo, wasn't that the fellow? Rudy Rigaldo hit the ball with a shortstop dance. Were you ready to go to the

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

clubhouse And I play.

[Color Commentator]

Actually, I thought we had it and I was jumping up and down if you had seen me. But I guess I was stepped off on that one. Say, John, where's your home right now I'm living in Lexington, Massachusetts.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Oh, right outside of Boston.

[Color Commentator]

That's right, about 12 miles.

[Frank]

You're married, aren't you?

[Color Commentator]

Yes, I am.

[Frank]

And how about the little youngster?

[Color Commentator]

A little daughter, one year old.

[Frank]

And how about Papa and Mama? They here?

[Color Commentator]

Yes, my father and mother are in here. Here at Cleveland, right.

[Frank]

Boy, I bet they got a kick

[Color Commentator]

out of that baby yesterday, didn't they? They certainly did.

[Frank]

Hey, John, you're a great kid. You know, I had on that baseball all summer long. 25 wins and you owe me a couple of Coca Cola's. You know that, don't you? But look, here's a Gillette Razor and that little World Series record book. I know you'll like it and I want you to take that New Gillette one piece Razor and the 1954 World Series record book. And you can get your copy at your favorite store. And John, I know you'll get a

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

kick out of that.

[Color Commentator]

Thank you very much, Frank. Huh? Hey, I can certainly use that.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

There's a lot of good stuff in there.

[Color Commentator]

When are you going to pitch again? Well, I don't know, Frank. If he needs me Sunday, I'll be ready to pitch. If not, probably Monday. Fine.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Lots of luck here.

[Color Commentator]

Okay.

[Frank]

Well, fans, the clock says it's time to go until we take you back to Gillette's broadcasting booth.

And out of the business at hand here at the vast Municipal Stadium in Cleveland, Ohio. Well, this afternoon Al Lopez has sent in a Patch cup lineup to meet the New York Giants, who have won two of the two games already played in the 1954 Classic. At third base, we have Hank Majeski. As Jimmy Dudley has already told you, Hank Majeski, one of the veterans of major league play, taking over for Al Rosen. Al tried it. His leg was too bad and he figured that he was in there hurting his ball club rather than helping it. So he and Al Lopez got together. Now, Rosen is on the bench this afternoon and will be utilized as a pink hitter if needed. Hank Majeski is at third base. So let's set the Indians for you defensively now, as Big Mike Garcia, the Visa right hander, is on the mound for the Cleveland Indians. Old Balchest is throwing down to his battery mate, Jim Higgins. At first base is Victor Wirtz. At second base, Bobby Avila. At shortstop, George Strickland. At third base, Hank Majeski. Out in left field is Al Smith. The center fielder is Larry Doby.

Hitting left hand standing deep at the plate now broadcasting spot here at Cleveland is a very fine one right behind home plate, just slightly off on the left hand side of home plate. Yum. The plate umpire looks down over the shoulder of Jim Higan and we're about to get started on the third game of the 1954 World Series. Please remember the Giants have won two and Cleveland has one run. So this is the game as far as Cleveland is concerned. Big Mike Garcia delivers a fastball. Whitey Lockman queen zones, this line drive hitting the right center feet. It's going to be in there for the base hit over a study to cut it off. Lockman down to first base to hold on. So the first pitch here this afternoon is a Lang shot single into right center field by Whitey Lockman. That is the first hit given up by Garcia who surrendered only 220 base hits all year. Now coming up to the plate, batting at.375 is Alvin Dart. He has 3 for 8 in the series so far. Outfield places just about straight away. This is a big ball orchard here, 320ft down the left and right field lines to 410ft through the restraining bench and center and plenty of room to go get them here in the small park. Mike Garcia, the big right hander from Pike Stadium, kicks third around at the mound, looks down at Alvin Dark who has that wide Freddy stance leaning over White Elachman leads off first. Down comes the pitch. Fastball fired in at the knees for a called strike. When Big Mike is right, that fastball of his comes dipping in there. Hank Majeski expecting a bunch, is playing a shallow third and Vic Schwartz holding Whitey Lockman on at first base will come charging in when the next pitch is made. They're expecting that the New York Giants will try to get that runner down in scoring position. Whitey Lockman is pretty fast and he's liable to be moving anytime the pitch is made. And this time it's swung on. Elvin Dark hits a foul ball down, up first straight line back into the crowd, out of play. Hank Majeski, number five, moving back there

[Color Commentator]

to take his station at third.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

It's been a long time since we've seen Hank Majeski start a ball game, but he's always on tap and ready. You know, I got an interesting note on Hank Majesty for you here in just a moment and I'll pass it along to you. Mike Garcia check his runner over at first base. That's Whitey Lockman taking a pretty good size lead. Vickwerts on the inside corner. We'll look at Alvin Dark now. The pitch to him at Swinhong. A pretty good hit and run man. Trying to find punch to right field. Fouls it off again. And that's right 2. Hank Majeski, the oldest player among all of today's World Series eligible, is playing at third base for Cleveland. He'll be 38 next December 13th. Now you'll find the ages, the heights, the weights and the records of all the series players in the Gillette World Series book. Hope you have yours next to play this Alvin Duck and this the first Black Cabin World Series. But he strikes out here for Big Mike Garcia. Mike Garcia had 130 strikeouts over the course of the regular season. Now here's John Mueller, the pesky guy at the plate. Pesky from the standpoint that he's laying that base hit for you when you need it the most. Don Mueller has 2 for 9 in the series, batting at 222, has struck out only one time. Whitey Lachman, who opened with a line shot single into right center field. Still on the first lead for the Giants. Mike Garcia has to bear down from the opening pitch.

[Color Commentator]

He's ready to go here.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

It's a left handed batting, Don Mueller, the choke hitter. In comes the first pitch, the nice fastball over to nbsp called strike. Big Mike when he throws is a little off balance. That is when he finishes up, he

[Color Commentator]

falls towards first base.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

When he started out in the spring this year he tried to correct that and finish up in a squared away position in order that he may field bullet balls and balls of were hit back to his right the left of the pitches mound as we looked out from the diamond. But he found that he was not as effective with his pitches. So he went back to his old style. He delivers now. Fastball swung on, hit down off the rubber of home plate to high bounce it to Avila. The play goes to Sticklands along.

[Frank]

The throwback is not in time.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Gets away from big work. Higgins backing up. There goes Mueller trying the second. The throw goes down and he's in there. The throw got away from Victor Woods. They had to reach for it. It was a hurried throw by George Sickens and we'll probably have an error charge on the play. So we'll wait for the official scorers, Mr. McCauley, Mr. Jones and Mr. Tremento, to see what their decision is going to be on this one. To allow the runner to go from first down to second. It's going to be an error on George Strickland. He'll put Don Wheeler on at second base. On the error committed by George Strickland on his overthrow at first base trying to get a double play. And incidentally, we have not had a double play in the World Series up till now. So Mueller was at first on the fourth out of Wy Lockman at second base. And the play went from Avila to Strickland. So we have two outs, one on and Willie May's coming up who's yet to get a base hit in the series. Garcia throws him the fastball and brushes the uniform glove, driving the batter away from the plate. That's ball one. Willie Mays in this series so far has walked three times. He struck out once. He has gone all for five. No hits for five. A single time. Done. May, the right handed batter wet a ball hawk. And the National League batting champion steps away from the plate. Now his count is one ball and no strike. Up until just this moment when George Strickland committed the error, the throwing error at first base, allowing Don Mueller to scoot on down to second. They cleared that. He meant to. Absolutely, absolutely. Errorless in the World Series. RC Texas runner at second order to play. The soft curveball. It's swung on by Maze and punch back foul right off of the right of our Gillette microphone, bouncing up into the press section and bounces down into the television cameras. So somebody goes home over there and that camera crew very happily this afternoon with the souvenir of the World Series. There are two outs here in the top of the first inning. Don Mueller is the winner of second base. The New York Giants, there is no score here. With leaden overcast sky trucking the poor rain down on us any minutes, the pitch of the plate is high inside to Willie May. The count is two balls and one strike. We got more airplanes flying over this municipal stadium. Here this afternoon that even Jimmy Dudley, an old pilot himself, can shake a stick at. But he's flying high right here in the broadcasting group. He doesn't have to be in that plane this afternoon. Afternoon Jimmy invited me to take a plane ride with him and I said what's the simmer down after the series is over, we'll do it. Willie Mays up at the plate with the count of one ball and two strikes. Big Mike Garcia has a runner on a second behind him. There are two outs for the Giants here in the top half of the first inning. There is no score out here. Playing sand around the left and deep as Mike Garcia throws the overhand fastball. May swings and nothing. Strike two. The Vice Bailey right hander came right back and poured that ball in over the fifth from the inside corner. Maze like it. Two balls and two strikes, the count on number 24, Willie Mays. Jocko Conlan handling the plate here this afternoon in the third game of the World Series. Down comes the pitch to Mays. Fastball swung on, hit the right field, the Calandra. So he comes in, he cracks the ball, it bounces off his chest. He goes to second base as Wheeler comes on in the score. So Willie Mays get the first base hit. William, a single into right field driving around here and the Giants lead one to nothing. John Mueller scooting around and coming on in from second base to score. So the error definitely has hurt right up till now. That's the second hit of Mike Garcia and run number one. So Cleveland's behind here in the top half the first inning. The Giants have a runner on the first base and Willie May, the pretty good hit and run guy up at the plate, a pretty good hit and run guy with a stick in his hand is Henry Thompson. He's batting at.333 in the series, 2 for 6. And he's played spectacularly at third defensively. A fastball comes from the tie in outside as the sun breaks out to cast a shadow here at Cleveland for the first time. One ball of no strikes is the count on Hank Thompson. Little left handed hitter standing deep at the plate. The water man said exactly at one o' clock we'd expect the heavens to open up and rain the pour down on us, but it hasn't happened so far. Garcia leans forward, puts back over his left shoulder, checking Willie Mays at first. The pitch is made to the plate. Thompson takes it high inside. Willie Mays holding right on there first base. Two balls, no sights to count on Thompson. Hank Thompson batting at 3:33 in series play. Hank has walked twice. Struck out once in the two games that have preceded this one. Percy leaning forward to take his sign checks his runner Willie Mays. He's always a threat to go. Down comes the pitch. Mays fluff going and the pitch is taken at the plate for ball three. Garcia asks Jocko Conlon for another baseball and gets it. I wish you liked here at the start of the third game of the World Series to compliment the umpires for the work they have done done in this World Series so far. We've had two fine jobs behind the plate in first and second games. Al Barlick of the National League in the first game, a mighty fine job behind the plate. And Charlie Berry, the veteran American League umpire came up with a lethal performance yesterday. And here's Jocko Conlon, a very fine veteran working the plate this afternoon. An overhand fastball is in there for strike. And the count on Thompson now is 3 and 1. Garcia back to biz with the Rosinbag number 25 standing down there on the mound. Steps up, takes his position on the rubber. Willie Mays will take a lead at first now as the quirk holds the inside corner on him. The check of the runner. Down comes the pitch taken. It's outside by shade on a let up curveball. So Thompson drives his third base on balls in the series. The first one here this afternoon. The first walk given up by Garcia. Garcia walked 71 over the regular season. Now hitting right handed is Monty Irvin. Monty has gone 0 for 4 in the series. He's batting across at 000. Right hand hitter has an opportunity of knocking in his first run as Willie Mays has moved down to second on the walk handed by Arthur Thompson. The first pitch for Monty Irvin is a strike. Monty backs his group up. A handful of dirt Dry's hands shoves him down along his uniform trousers. Steps back in. Beats the bat down on the rubber of home plates. Garcia now standing out in sunlight. The sun has broken forth in all of its brilliance here for at least the moment. Delivers to the plate. It's taken high and inside for ball one. One ball and one strike to count on. Monty Irvin. The big left field of the New York Giants batting number six in the order. He'll be followed by Davey Williams if he's needed. Five men have come to the plate. One run is has been scored by the Giants. They lead one to nothing. Willie Mays at second. Hank Thompson's on it. First two down. Garcia comes in with an overhand Let up pitch. That's outside at the shoulder. That's ball two. Two balls and one strike and there's going to be some activity down in the bullpen now for the Cleveland Indians. The right hander up and starting to throw for Cleveland. That'll be Arthur Art Hman up throwing for Cleveland in the Cleveland bullpen. Down back of the right field line. Interesting note that CJ has just put up here. And I believe that to be true as I quickly glance back through the books. The first team to score in both games that have already been played lost the ball game. The pick is swung on. There's a high foul ball hit off to the right of the plate and way back in of the customers. Two balls, two strikes on Marty Irvin. Yeah, that's right, Paul. Cleveland scored first in the first game and scored first in the second game. And they went on to lose both of them. And now the Giants score the first time here in the top half the first inning. Just an oddity going along in the series that we'd like to note for you. Two Boston strikes to count on Marty Irvin with Renner the first and second two down, top of the first. The Giant leading one to nothing now Garcia is set, checked his runner. Willie Mays at second delivers. Played an overhand fastball. Monty Irvin punches the trial off the first baseline. There goes Hegan over near the Cleveland dugouts. And Hegan's the guy gets in and makes the catch. Running catch on the foul ball by Jim Hegan. So here in the first inning for the New York Giants, one run on

[Color Commentator]

a pair of base hits.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

There was one lock mixed in there. There was an error committed by Cleveland and two men were left on. So the score at the end of the top half of the first inning is the New York Giants won. They're now coming to back Cleveland Indians nothing.

But hurry, they're running out fast. Now into the last half of inning number one here at the Minnesota Stadium in Cleveland. One to nothing in favor of the New York Giants. They scored one time on two base hits, took advantage of a Cleveland error and we have the first unearned run in the 1954 World Series. Now stepping up to the play, hitting right handed is Al Smith, young fellow who led off for Cleveland yesterday by poking a home run out of the park at the Polo grounds. He has three hits for eight at bat batting at.375. The crowds up on the plate stands three quarters deep and is the choke hitter. Reuben Gomez from Kentucky Puerto Rico is on the mound for the New York Giants. Makes the first pitch a fastball that's under the knees for ball one. Reuben Gomez on the regular season for the New York Giants won 17 ball games, lost 964 shutouts. His battery mate is the very dependable West Western. At first base, Whitey Lockman. Second is Davey Williams, the shortstop captain Alvin d' arc at third, Hank Thompson out in left field, Marty Irvin. The center fielder is Willie Mays and at right field is Don Mueller. Al Smith up at the plate waiting now as Gomez the right hander throws the sidearm fastball. And it's outside the crossfire. Missing for ball two. Two balls, no strike out here on alpha miss. Thompson playing a rather shallow third base on his right hand hitter. Right hander throws another side armor. This one's in off a hip quite tight. Up against the batter for ball three. Hfield fanned around the left for Smith. He'll poke that long ball for you. He proved that yesterday. Leading off ball, Clement, beware of number 30, looks down over the shoulder of Weston. Here comes Gomez. Pick, sidearm let up is upside with all four leaving script the pangun on. That's the second time Smith has walked in the series. First base on ball is given up by Gomez. Here's Fabio. Bobby Avila, he's batting at 222. He has two for nine in series one on nobody out here in the last half the first inning. Reuben Gomez looked over at first place to see what Whitey Luckman's doing about holding him close. And he Is Bobby Avila standing in batting right handed, the American League batting champion. Gomez throws, the pitch for him is around a break to swung on and foul tip. So Al Lopez wanted to get that man down to second, get him around.

The Gates Senior are playing hit and run ball here before the thousands that have jammed in here to the Municipal Stadium in Cleveland. The Giants are leading in the ball game one to nothing by virtue of their one run slow to top the first and where of number one himself, Bobby Avila, the pet and pride of Veracruz, Mexico up at the plate here for the Indians. Gomez comes in with a pick. There's the bunt down to the left remind Gomez comes off fields, throws the first base in time.

So Avila is out sacrificing very successfully a very nicely placed bunch for the left of pitchers mound as you look out on the diamond. Gomez in a big hurry made the play to Wadiloxi.

Here is Ryodoby,

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Alvin Dark talking to Ruben Gomez as this Puerto Rican right hander gets ready now to pitch through left hand hitting. Larry Doby, the center fielder for the Cleveland Indians has been quite a star for them over the years, particularly this year in the run sided in department and in the home run department. So Smith is on at second base, a pretty free to foot guy who can really move around the bases. Doby has a chance of trying this ball game up should he come through with a base hit. Sidearm fastball to Doby's low into the dirt and that is well one. Doggo makes that. Down comes the pitch, A fastball that drives Doby back from the plate, is flipped over the inside corner Chuck high right under the letters for a called strike. One ball, one strike to count on Larry Doby. He holds that bat way down by the end, starts to bend his knees as though he were about to get down on him. Opens his pants just slightly down toward first base. The outfield is around right and deep pitch to him. Another curveball is outside knee high for ball two. Drew balls.

[Color Commentator]

One strike on Larry Doby.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Run out to the Indians here in the last half of the first inning. Al Smith, the leadoff man walked, was sacrificed by Bobby Aviva down to second base and he's in strong position at second in this one nothing ball game. Favorite the Giants, Tony Lucianello waiting to wave some traffic by third, yells upwards of encouragement as Gomez Pitches outside again to Doby for ball three. Three balls in one strike. Smith hanging pretty close there at second base. He doesn't want to be caught off. The Giants use the count play quite often, Central, whirl around and make sure across back there. Waiting for the man designated to cover. And in the hopes that he does. Time is called as Larry Doby steps away from the plate. And Gomez, about ready to pitch. Has to break back off the mound now. He's set. Smith takes his lead. In comes the pitch. It's taken by Doby over on the outside corner for a foul strike. And that's the second one. Three balls and two strikes. Oh, we've got thousands umpires in the stands here this afternoon, I can tell you that for sure. Oh, everybody sees that pitch just a little bit differently, first of all. Depends on which side you're rooting for, too. It's the payoff pitch now to Larry Dobie. 3 and 2. Gomez checks his runner a second, delivers, plays fastball. Doby swings, hit the high fly ball through short center field. Coming in is Willie Mays. Says he has it and he has. So there's the second out. Dobie flying out to Willie Mason, center. Smith holds on at second. And here is Victor Wirtz. Victor Wirtz carrying the highest batting percentages of anybody on the field right now for Cleveland in this series. Brickwork obtained from the Baltimore Orioles about the middle of the summer. Has five for eight, including extra bay flows. And he is batting right this minute at 6. 25 in World Series play. Big fella from York, Pennsylvania, hits him left handed prematurely. Bald guy, stepped up to the plate. He's got pretty good sized wrists and forearms. Hits him left handed, stands almost straight away to the pitcher. The outfield comes around slightly to right, particularly right field of Don Mueller playing deep. Then right field inside off the hip for ball one. Last half the first inning. Cleveland has the tying run on its second two down. Victor Wirtz up there. In comes the pitch again. Wirtz backed off, one inside. That's ball two.

Gomez delivers a knuckler that's one on a missed first strike. Gomez will flash that knuckler at you every once in a while. And I notice he throws a sidearm pitch. Much in the manner of Larry Jansen, who is now on the coaching staff. You know, Larry was taken off of the active staff. He's now coach. But they tell me he's going to make a comeback for next year. He's been working with these pitchers. And in one of the pitches, Gomez sort of emulates the old guy from Forest Grove. The two one delivery. There's the knuckler again. It's outside. Three balls and one strike to count on Victor Wirtz. Thought for a moment I felt a drop of range. Guess it was my imagination. Three balls, one strike to count on Victor Wirtz. Smith is on a second in scoring position. The outfield around to right and deep. Gomez sat, comes in 31 with the fastball swung on and hits right on

lines out. The darkest short for Cleveland. Their threat goes for the boards. No runs, there were no base hits, there were no giant errors. And Cleveland has Now left their 27th man on the first one here this afternoon. Of all these players on the field this afternoon, one guy stands out in my mind. Opponent to pitch the magnificent ball game yesterday for five innings before he was presented. And I went down to the locker room and ran into Early Wind in that locker room. And he was shaving yesterday. He's a fine guy, just as fine as you ever hope to meet. And he's a real rooter for Gillette. He told me. Sure, I use the Gillette razor, Al. There's nothing like it. A quick shave puts me back in form after a tough workout. Early uses that easy shaving one piece Gillette I've been telling you about. Remember, you get the Gillette World Series record book with it. Free. Now we move into the second inning here at Cleveland. The first man up for the New York Giants will be Williams, starting the last third of their batting order. Williams will be followed by West Western. And then will come Reuben Gomez as Mike Garcia goes back to the mound. Mike Garcia from Visalia, California. Big, likable right hander working with his battery mate, Jim Hegan. Davey Williams batting in the series at 000. He's 0 for 7. Is coming up. The wearer of number 10, Davy, stands about 3/4 deep at the plate. Feet wide, spread apart, slightly open. Stands down towards third. The jetty comes up to play shallow at third base. The outfield pans around to the list for dating. And all hands are ready to go one to nothing in favor of the Giants here over the Indians at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland in the third game of the 1954 World Series. Garcia is ready. Throws an overhand curveball outside. It's ball one. Garcia will give you a lot of that big motion and throw you that slow stuff sometimes this is best pitch. It's probably the quieter than the fastball. There's the fastball. It's under the knee, knees. Two balls, no strikes to count on Davey Williams. West on deck to go next. Herman Franks is your coach for the Giants. Down behind third at first is Freddy F. Simmons. Boy, that Freddy really was a pitcher in his day. Wasn't he great? Goodness, I can remember him many times. Pitch. A fastball fired through at the knees for a called strike. And he counted two and one. Now on Williams. Higgin down to Pumpkin. Garcia leaned forward to take it. And the pitch now to Davey Williams. Garcia, overhand fastball. They're slow and outside. Ball three. Three balls in one strike. Field isn't playing as deep for Davey Williams as they would play. Say for a guy like Weston, Williams don't hit that long ball too often. Fastball to him, is fired across at the knees. An overhand fastball. They run the counts clean too. Williams moves that stick back and forth rather nervously. Garcia seems to operate the same whether he's ahead or behind. Delivers three.

[Color Commentator]

Two.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

The fastball inside off the knees for ball four. So Williams blocked for his first time this afternoon and the first time in the World Series. That's the second base on balls given up by Sea. And the batter is West Westrom. Wes has two base hits for six at bats and his percentage for World Series play this year is 3. 33. Right hand hitter with a slightly open stance down towards 30. Sort of catty corners across batter spot. Looks up somewhat on the handle. Walks up on the first pitch and takes it under the knees for ball one. David Williams opens the second inning by getting walk here for the New York Giants. He's on the first base. Pickworth holds the inside corner. Garcia taking plenty of time. Texas runner Williams at first, delivers the plate. An overhand fastball. It's through there for a strike right off the pitch. Weston just shook his head as if to say he didn't quite think so. He looks around at Herman Franks to pick up the sign. Sting relay from the bench. Williams has that sign already been informed as to what it might be from Freddy Persimmons Charters. One. Ball one. Strike On Weston. Garcia settles down, deals it off and Weston trying to bun the ball, misses it completely. The ball gets away from. He now goes to Williams down through second base. So we'll know in a minute whether it's going to be a wild pitch or a pass ball. It's a wild pitch.

[Color Commentator]

So we have a wild pitch moving

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

David Williams down to second base. Charge the wild pitch to Garcia. So Davey Williams now is in scoring position. Garcia and Majesty are talking things over. Wynne had a wild pitch yesterday, if you recall and Lemonhead won the first day. So all three of the Cleveland pitchers have come up with a wild pitch now in one of the series games. Westwestermouth are played with a count of two balls, one strike, Davey Williams now in scoring position, one to nothing favor the New York Giants. They scored in the top of the first inning. Garcia pitches worstrom tries to bump this one and fouls it off to the right of the plate. So they're trying to get Williams over to third to score him on that second. Fights fly if no other way. But Western now has a counter strike too. So the big danger of the bunt

[Color Commentator]

goes to the board.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Two bosses strike to count on Weston. Weston's a very determined guy, very hard working guy. They call him the bulldog behind the plate. I guess he is in a way. He sort of sticks in there all the time and hangs on first. He ready to pitch one, two and two. He does. It's one on the miss for strike three. Well, Gomez putting that fastball and got him. That's the second strikeout for Garcia and Ruben Gomez a pretty fair hit and pitcher comes up to the plate. Western from Clearbrook, Minnesota, now living in Hyde Park, New York strides back to the Giant dugout down the third base line to sit down. Reuben Gomez coming up to the plate. Reuben Gomez hits them right handed just as he picks them. So could be Puerto Rico right handed. He has an overly closed stance, left foot forward to the plate, tall and slender. Memory serves me rightly. Ruben Gomez hit a home run this year for the Giants. And please remember, let's fix that in memory. Queens on the first pitch and doesn't get it. I see a Reeves throwing that fastball in there. Davey Williams still on there at second base. One out here in the top the second inning. Giants leading one's nothing.

Next is the giant leadoff man, first baseman Whitey Lockman. He started everything off here in this ball game with a blind drive single in the right center. Garcia again a check of the runner at second. That's Davey Williams. Looks down at Gomez, then delivers to him an overhand fastball. Gomez pounds it into center field. Larry Dobie off to his left, gets under, takes the line drive, hurriedly whips that ball in. And David Williams has to hold on at second. Gomez hit the ball well, all right, but lined it right to Larry Doby. We have a second out here in the top half. Albany number two, Whitey Lachman moves in the old Carolina Comet. One of the most quiet guys you'll meet in a long time. Whitey Lockman, he and Don Mueller. I think if you put them in a room all by themselves, they probably wouldn't have 50 words of conversation in 24 hours. Mike Garcia ready to pitch to Whitey Lachman. Only seen Whitey gets hopping mad twice on playing field. And Don Mueller only one time. Always steady performance, both of them. Now Garcia gets set, takes a time from Higgin after shaking one off, he's ready. Looks at Williams second, hesitates and then breaks back off the mound and chases Williams back into second. Majeski is playing shallow at third base. Down comes the fix of the plate now to Lockman. Is slow down as one ball and no strike. I can imagine it's really something for Hank Majeski to be down there playing at third base in the World Series. As he's been a utility man for several years. He probably figures this is a real opportunity, a renaissance, so to speak. Garcia delivers, the fastball is over to Knees. One ball and one strike. Now is the count on Whitey Rockman. Garcia is taking plenty of time kicking dirt. Two out, one on Williams at second. He was walked and was wild. Fixed a second. Garcia trying to get out of his trouble here. With the Giants leading one to nothing, Torpers Loughman swings and beats one foul. And while we have a new ball going in, Tyler Fossen, second station identification. This is Mutual, the radio network for all Americans. WGN Chicago, your exclusive World Series station. Right back to the business at hand here at Cleveland. It's Mike Garcia pitching to Whitey Lachlan with the count of one ball and Two strikes and down in the Cleveland both end. Art Haldeman, right hander, warming up from Cleveland just in case Garcia should have any more trouble here in inning number two. Mike has been touched for one run and two hits. All of that coming in the first inning. One error behind him, of course, did not help him. The run, incidentally, is unearned in case you tuned in late. Garcia is ready. Delivers a curveball swung on by Lachman. A dribble up the first baseline where Vic Wirtz picks it up. One ball and two strikes down on Whitey Luckman. Hanging around hoping to get a chance to hit the inning as Alvin Dark, Cleveland infield, the Victor Wirtz at first, Bobby Avila at second, George Strickland at short and Hank Majeski at third. Stockman, choking up on the handle of the bat, standing away from the plate with an open. Stands slightly down toward first outfield. Playing him as a punch hitter in the left field. They're not even playing him straight away. Big hole in the outfield's in right center. Looks of daylight too. Down the right field line. Garcia delivers. Whitney Lockman swings and cuts his foul back to the screen. One ball, two strikes on Whiting. David Williams out of second base there so long he's about to grow. Root steps down now, takes his lead. Garcia keeps checking back there to make sure Whitey, make sure David Williams is not taking too much of a lead. Now he delivers the plate to Whitey. Walkman swung on. There's a high fly ball hung along the right field line. It could be trouble if it's in there, but Avila goes back and sits over in foul territory. Takes that ball and stumbles and turns on the defender track and goes down. He's all right. A very, very nice play by Bobby Avila in foul territory. Steps across the line deep behind first base. Oh, made a great play out of that one. So Whitey Lachman is out. Fouling out for the second baseman, Bobby Avila. Go for the Giants. No runs, no hits, no errors. One man was left on. A round of applause for Bobby Avila as he comes off the playing field. He richly deserves it. Another straw at the end of one and a half innings of play is New York 1 and Cleveland nothing.

Now, Hank Majeski, he was used as a pink spatter over in New York. And Hank Majeski's 0 for 1. So he's coming up for his second time in world Series play. Hank Majeski batting right handed. He's a little fellow, very stockily put together. Heavy set through the legs, pretty good sized chest on him. Gomez tries the fastball on him and misses with it outside low for ball one. It gets away from Western, shoots back to the screen. Majesty came on as a pinch batter in the ninth inning, the first game of the World Series and didn't even get a chance. Chance to get up to the plate. Mitchell came in the bat for him when Drocher pulled some strategy and shifted pitches from little to Grissom. This next pitch is over, but low. And the count is fall too on the jet ski. Good ball. Some strike. Gomez sidearm fastball, flails it through there to knees for a cold strike. Two balls and one strike on Hank McChesky. I can guarantee you that should the Cleveland Indians pop up with anything in this ball game this afternoon, this crowd and there's a good one here will really tear the place down. The Giants have won a pair and the Indians are trying to dent it. There's a curveball to Majesty. Grubbed Athenese for salt strike. Two balls, two strikes on Hank Majetki. He's the number five hitter in the Cleveland order, coming up for his first time in the ball game. Leading off here in the second inning, Giants leading one to nothing. Gomez set, delivers 2, 2. A sidearm curveball swung on and bounced foul down to Tony Cucinello. Coaching behind third. Flips it over to Gomez. Probably you can hear in the background the rattle of the telegraph keys sending the description of this ball game to parts of the world where radio probably has not been able to get to. And that would be very small, I think, because Evans knows this one's going all over the place. Fastball is swung on by Majeski. There's a high puck foul off the first baseline. Whitey Luck, when he gets over under it, makes catch and Majeski down. That brings on Dave Philly. Dave Philly is looking for his first World series hit. He's 04 but hitter from Paris, Texas will be batting left handed against Ruben Gomez. He's been quite a defensive man for Cleveland this year. Dave Philly, obtained from the Philadelphia Athletics by the Cleveland Indians, ready to work to him. Delivers a sidearm curve. It stays outside about.

Gomez will throw you the screwball every now and then. And he works it, particularly to left hand hitters. Looks like that's what that might have been. Comes down again with an overhand fastball and misses Willard again. That's ball two, rolling outside. Two balls, no strike, one out, nobody on. Last half the second inning. Cleveland up at bat and trailing one to nothing. Gomez, sort of a spindly leg guy, standing out on the mound, leaning forward, taking a sign from Western pump. Goes to the top of the pump. Comes down with a curveball that Philly strides into and takes shoulder high for ball three. Three balls, no strikes. Continues to be dark and overcast here at Cleveland. Now the 30 delivery. A fastball inside for ball four. O' Clinne picked up. The second walk given up by Gomez. Here's George Strickland.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Strickland in the World series has gone 0 for 6, so he has no batting percentage. George has been a victim of strikeouts twice. He has a completely closed stance and bats right hand. Carl Finfeller from New Orleans, Louisiana. Gomez checks his runner. The tying, the potential tying run for Cleveland at first. And Dave Philly then wheels the pitch into the plate. Strickland takes it over for a strike. No balls. One strike to count on George Strickland. One out, one on here in the last half of the second inning. These Cleveland Indians are grim and determined this afternoon. This is a game they've got to win. Curveball to Strickland. Is under the knees. Counted one ball at one strike. Gomez bouncing that ball around and he's mitt stepped up, puts his foot on the rubber, looks around the infield mass field and then peers down to his batter, George Strickland. Dave Philey takes his lead at first base. Whitey Lockman inside on the Corner. The pitch is swung on by Strickland, the mitt. Gomez came in with a sidearm, medium speed pitch. He throws a lot of except 3/4 overhand and some of it tight arm. Very rarely does he go completely overhand with his pitch. One ball and two strikes. Wouldn't be a bit surprised that Gomez daddy might be listening in this afternoon. There's an overhand pitch outside 3/4 overhand. Reuben Gomez Daddy is a pitcher on his stand down in Puerto Rico. Two balls, two strikes is the count here in. George Strickland, the wearer of number two. Two and Dave fell, ready to run on anything. Takes his plate at first base and strides off a couple of steps. Gomez 2 2's the plate. Curveball swung on and pounded right back to the mound. Gomez is high off the mound, takes the ball close to Davy Williams for the out. The field of first base is not in time. Gomez came off that mound like a small kitten. Hans high on that ball, made the throwback to second base to Davey Williams, who was taken out of that play very nicely by Davey Williams, but he got it by Dave Philly, but he got his throw off anyway. Jim Higgin, the batsman, Two down for Cleveland in the second. George Strickland, the runner at first base. And Jim Hegan, batting at 125, is coming up to the plate. Jim has had one base hit. A double he hit into left center field. That was in the second inning of yesterday's ball game. He was sacrificed down to third, but died there in that second inning. Jim Higgins, right hand batter, Massachusetts boy leaning over the plate, takes Gomez fastball outside for ball one. Those fast pitches with this gray overcast here today are going to look even faster. George Strickland, Texas, leading out. First two down here in the second pitch to Higgin is a low curveball under the knees. That's ball two. Jim Higgin has struck out just one time in the series. He's caught for Cleveland all through the series with the exception of the time he was lifted. And Mickey Bresso in the first game came on to catch an inning. Two balls, no strikes on Higgin. Right hand batter, sidearm curveball Egan goes a little bit too far around trying to check himself. And it's called against infant. Strike one. Cleveland has come up with a pitching here in this World Series, but the highly bonded bats of the Cleveland Indians have been in a way rather silent. So that might be the answer to the edge. The Giants now have Gomez ready with the two one delivered to Higan. Wheels it up there and Hegan swings on it. Sends a bounding ball down the third baseline. Foul. Two balls and two strikes to count on Jim Higgins. Two outs, one on. Last half of the second inning score one to nothing in favor of the New York Giants. It was figured by most of the experts that Cleveland had a pretty good opportunity to win this ball game this afternoon. Going with Mike Garcia, a pretty good fastballer. And they still have a lot of time to win this ball game. We're just in the last half of the second inning. Two down for Cleveland, one on the tying, runners first. Gomez pretty tough right hander in his own right, delivers quick order, overhand pitch, is outside and low. Three and two. Three balls, two strikes now. George Strickland will be off and moving towards second base when Gomez fires away to Higgins. Strickland about to step off and take his lead. Gomez goes to the top of the stretch, hesitates and quickly throws over to first. That is, his motion was quick, but his thought was easy because Strickland hadn't wandered away too far. Count remains three and two on Higan as he digs in at the plate. Now Gomez sets, delivers. There goes the run of the pitcher. Swung on and fouled. Back to the screen.

[Color Commentator]

Off to our right.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Climbs right up into the television booth. Off to our right, our good friend Jack Brickhouse and Ross Hodges are working. Out. Remains three and two on Jim Higgin. Gomez search gets ready. Check George Strickland. Down comes the pitcher. Goes Strickland. The ball is swung on, hit down to third. Deep behind third. Thompson comes up with a throws into the dirt at first. But Whitey Lockman comes up with it. And Higgin is out. So that retires aside, Blockman taking out Thompson's low throw at first base. And here in the second inning again, the Cleveland Indians have the tying run on cannot capitalize no runs, there were no base hits, there were no errors, and one man was left on. So right here at the end of two full innings of play, it's New York 1 and Cleveland nothing and a ball game that promises to give us just as many frills as we have had in the first two that were played over at the Polo Grounds in New York City. And while Mike Garcia comes out there, just get ready for inning number three. I just like to switch over here to my sidekick, Jimmy Dudley and see what his comments in the first two innings might possibly be. Jimmy, how about that? What do you think?

[Color Commentator]

Well, I'm getting a great deal of pleasure out of watching this. Reuben Gomez Work. This is the first time that we've actually seen him in tough competition. And I'm telling you, that screwball that he has really has the boys up there baffled. They don't know exactly what they're swinging for, and so far he's been master of the situation. But the game is sort of moving along just like the first two. The Giants broke on top. And it's one of those days when you sort of figure that the Indians must have the break coming, coming somewhere.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Well, all that, Jim, that we can expect this afternoon. As it wears on to see both of these fellows, Gomez and Garcia find that fastball right up until the last minute. And one thing we can caution you to be watching for, as far as Gomez is concerned, as the afternoon goes on, he'll come in more and more sidearm with his pitches. Mike Garcia, of course, the biggest benefit basketball pitching is of the overhand variety. Now let's see what he's going to do here with the Giants in the top half the third inning, he's behind one to nothing as the Giants lead by that margin. Alvin Dark is the batsman who struck out the first inning. He'll be followed by Don Mueller and then by Willie Mays. Mike Garcia, big right hander, delivers an overhand fastball. Dark queens on it, loops it out into left center field. That's going to be in there for the base hit. Coming over is Dolby to pick it up on the first skip and fire it into George Strickland. So Dark opens with a single in the left center. That'll give him his first hit this afternoon, giving him his fourth World Series hit. That's at number three off Garcia. So Alvin Darks first, Don Mueller four shots, Whitey Lockman at second. And he himself went on to second when George Strickland committed the only Cleveland error in the series by throwing wild at first base. Down comes, the pitches are on a break. Pitcher swung on and get through the hole between short and third and out into left field. There goes Alvin Dark all the way around the third. Don Mueller hitting through the left side of the infield into left for a single.

had died about halfway out into left field and by the time Script got it was able to make the throw in Alvin Dark running on the blow, has moved all the way into third base. So now Garcia is in trouble again. That's the fourth hit given up by Mike. That's the third hit Mueller has picked up in the series. Going to battle 11 times. Willie Mays has one base hit for one time up today. And is he standing in? Runners at first and third. Majeski playing just off third, works on the inside corner on Mueller at first and the second base combination Playing a double play death pitcher swung on by Mays as they drive down to third. D. Majeski. He's got the ball. Fires it into Higgins. They've got Alvin Brock and a horsey between home and third. There is Keegan tagging him out. And while the horseshoe is going on for the tag out, the runners moved on down to second and third. So Mueller has moved in to third base on the fielder's choice. Willie Mays gets all the way down to second. And the play went from Majukie, the third baseman, to Higgins, back to Majeski and back to Higgins trying to make the tag on Alvin Dark. So we have one out here in the top third inning. Runners of second and third and the batter coming up now is Thompson. Alvin Dark caught in the rundown. Hank for Jetski's first opportunity in. Team pulls up tight now and Hank Thompson on there is going to be be going to be put on intentionally. They're not going to monkey around with him at all. They're going to put him on and set it up for a possible chance for a double play. Oh, there is ball three now.

[Color Commentator]

Ball four.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Well, Thompson is intentionally watched. That'll be the third baseline ball given up by Garcia. He's standing out there at second base. Al Barlick, you know, fans of second base, umpire is standing in fair territory. That raises a question. If a batted ball strikes him before reaching a fielder, is the hitter safer out? Well, you'll find the answer in the Gillette World Series record book. To get a copy free, just buy the new one piece Gillette razor at the regular price. Been giving the freedom Indian trip. Dusty Rose, who's hammered two home runs in World Series play for the New York Giants. He's standing for money. Irvin with a bases loaded one out here in the top half the third inning. Dusty Rhodes R H O D E S. He'll probably stay in the ball game to play in the field. Garcia delivers to him. Rhodes swings and it's a base hit for right field. In comes John Mueller to score the second run. Right behind him, some squadron Willie Mace Thompson moves over to firm now. There are two more runs batted in. Dusty Rhodes batting here in the third inning. Let's check up on this guy Rhodes. He's still batting a thousand. That gives him four hits for four at bat. He has now batted in seven runs batted in. Seven runs for the New York Giants. Get two here this afternoon. Hit number five runs two and three off Garcia.

And he.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

He now ties Dr. Bobby Brown, who held the record as a pinch batter in World Series in three hits. Now Dusty Rhodes has three pinch hits in World Series. Up to the plate is Davey Williams taking the first pitch over for a called strike. Rhodes assembled to right field, moving Thompson around to third and scoring a pair. Darts 3 nothing in favor of the over Cleveland. Dustier delivers. Davey Williams snaps his head back and takes a fast barrel. It's the pin point for ball one. And so what was it they said this morning about Dusty Rhodes? Give him an inch, he'll take a mile. Boy, he's taking a mile against Cleveland this year.

The Giants squeeze in that fourth round. It's now four to nothing and the official scores are talking over the situation now. Whether it's going to be a base hit or not, we'll know in a moment. Mike Dresser is going to be charged with an error for holding that ball too long. So it's going to be a sacrifice for Williams on an error on Garcia. But the run has been squeezed in. Up at the platers.

Time is over. First strike. RC's next delivery evens accounted 1 and 1. Rhodes on that squeeze play sacrifice, which was the squeeze play, move to second to pitch to Western low for ball two. Two balls and one side. So the Giants are sort of broken out in the rash here in the third inning, taking up three runs to go out in front four nothing. Garcia protects his runners, Bears back, delivers to Westcom, who hits the ball back to the mound. Garcia has it close to first base to work for the out as the run is advanced. Now Williams moves down to second. Dusty Rhodes, who batted here in the third inning for Marty Irvin, singled in a pair of runs, has now moved down on the infield.

Third base. Two out, two on. The Giants have runners in scoring position at second and third. The batter coming up is Reuben Gomez. Probably feels a great deal better about the situation down the bullpen for Cleveland. Art Houdelman back up and throwing again. Darte wheels the pitching end. Gomez swings on it. Doesn't get it the last minute he tried to check himself but he'd gone too far. Road too battered for Irvin is on at third. Bas. Williams the second baser first is open. Garcia delivers a let up curve taken right up half at the peak of the cap. Runs his count to one and one. Just looking through the record book here, Gehrig has nine runs batted in according to the Gillette World Series record book to lead in single series. Rhodes now has seven. Lomas swings on the next pitch and follows it down the first baseline. Way back into the crowd. Joe Otto skyroad to third base has to do to tie Garrick's record in the way of Brent's batted in the single series. Let's pick up a pair now he's got maybe the rest of today. It all depends on what LaRouche is going to do, where he's going to allow LaRoche to stay in left or not. He's got today and tomorrow to do it for sure. And if Cleveland should come back and win this one and go more than. The pitch to play to Gomez is over for call.

Well, that's all eight men come to bat here for New York. The third inning. Gomez gets his third or Garcia gets the third strike out. Gomez the victim. And in the third inning, three big runs for the New York Giants picked up on 1, 2, 3 bases. There was one error and there were two men left on the score here at the end of two and a half innings of play. The New York Giants four and the Cleveland Indians nothing. Well, Alvin Dark shouldn't have been sparking this ball club as far as the Giants are concerned on the inner defense. And Alvin not only goes all out in baseball, but Alvin Dark goes all out on what a clean, brisk Gillette shave does for a fellow when he's voiced Alvin.

Reuben, like early win yesterday, has been just about as tough as anyone could imagine the picture to be. If you recall, it was early win pitching for Cleveland yesterday. Promote the Giants down in with surprising rapidity until he ran into a pitch ball in the fifth inning. And let's see what's going to happen with Gomez as he steps in for the fourth inning to pitch for Larry Doby. Dobby, who has gone over one with a fly ball to center field. Gomez throws him the fastball and Dobby takes it high. That's ball one. That's where a ball gank turned right around in the twinkling of an eye. Gomez trapped, delivers. Doby swings on the slow curve and doesn't get it. That's strike one. One ball and one strike. Gomez had him completely pulled on the screwball. Now the 1:1 pitch. There's the fastball. Swung on by Dobby. Luke, traffic lefty. Let's go. Drop there for the first base hit off Gomez. Goby is on. GS comes in, fires that ball back in. Goby opens the force with a single to left field. Victor works, gets a round of applause. The first base hit comes off Gomez here in the fourth. First base hit off. Early win came yesterday by the Giants in offican. So it may be that the call has gone out just one inning early. We're on a minute four to nothing. Ball game in favor of New York. Cleveland trying to battle their way back. They know this has got to be the game. Victor Wirtz, the batter works, came up in the first inning and retired the side by hitting a sharp line drive to shortstop to Alvin Dart. Throw my second. His runner at first delivers the plate. Wirtz takes the screwball outside for ball one. Getting appreciably lighter here at Cleveland. Hope it continues to do so. Run nothing. Delivery. Her ball looks like another screwball. And that's low on outside. Victor woods count two balls, no strike. Playing just about straight away for words. And they're playing in beach.

You know, I've been using that term for years without knowing just how it began. And now I know because the answer is right there in the Gillette World Series book along with the answers of other important baseball freshmen. Willie Mays after the next pitch with a high fly ball in the deep left center field. There goes Ryan Doby back. He's still going back. He's under it. And he makes the catch. He bleed well. Willie Mays is out. Doby taking care of that one. Dobie slides around out there in center field like Greaves, like Thompson is about an hour for New York. Hank Thompson hitting left handed. Giants have four runs right now on five base hits. Almost Garcia. They've committed no errors this afternoon. Slow curveball by Halman is taken by left handed batting Thompson outside for ball one. The Giants so far in this ball game have stranded five men a run for a total of 17 for the series. Alderman delivers the plate. Thompson takes the curve and it's over. One ball, one strike, one out. Top of the fifth. No base runners for the Giants. They're leading here while the score 4 to nothing. CR has no runs on one base hit. They've committed a pair of errors. And that standard two men. Thompson swings on the next pitch and loops it out into left center field. It's in there for the base hit. Doby comes in quickly to pick up. There goes Thompson. He's going to try for two. Goby spoke, comes hurriedly in the foot on the slide and Thompson's in there. Joe Thompson gets a double into left center field that'll be hit number one off Art Haldeman hit number six that's the first debate hit other than Dust Rhodes is two home runs for the Giants. Well not going on here in the fifth inning Dusty Rhodes coming up there and they're going to walk him. So this time Dusty, you're not going to park it for us. Dusty Roads is in getting intentional base on ball that'll be the first walk by Haldeman the fourth walk picked up by the Giants here this afternoon Dusty Rose, they respect his back they might not worry too much about him out in the field but when he comes up there swinging that lumber he's an old time slugger and they say so. He starts off first base now and with one out we have runners at second and first the batter is Davey Williams Davy who sacrificed successfully in the third inning and there was charge to Garcia When I face that sacrifice successfully. Please, no I mean the success of his sacrifice was.

There is a possibility that Hatterman may

First pitch, the Higgin makes a strike call with a curve getting the outside corner. Gomez is not only fast, he's been very quick with all of his pitches. The curveball, the screwball and the fastball. He won 17 ball games during the regular season, losing nine. Next pick Hegan springs and misses a bad kick. Good stop by the capture. West Western going through the count on the batter, the outfield. A round shot left. He's in his first time up in the second inning.

Otfield playing straight away. Gomez pictures a strike, a short ball, knee high. That curve has worked to perfection for him this afternoon. We have noted many of the Indian batters looking back to the umpire in great surprise on the call of the pitch, which is in there just about knee high. The next pitch, rigamarotto fouls into the dirt to strike the. Going to the count. The Giants after winning the first two games in New York, moving out in front of this one, five to nothing here at Cleveland's huge Municipal stadium before approximately 70,000 people this afternoon. Straight to the town. Batter on deck is out. Smith ready to travel, leads up the pitch is flung on a ground ball slowly hit to the left side of the infield. Thompson charges it up with it, the corner person Regalado is out. Another fine play by Hank Thompson at third base on a slow roller down the third base lane. But he got his man. And for the Indians in the pick. No run, one hit, one man left. At the end of five, the score is New York, five even nothing. Early win of the Indians, who lost a real heartbreaker yesterday, giving up only four hits says that when you're all in, there's nothing more breaking than a quick slit Gillette race. It really makes you look good and feel good. The boy. To know you do look better and feel better too. Try a refreshing saving cream save with today's one piece Gillette razor. Going into the first half of the sixth inning. We have a new picture coming on for the Indians. Ray Nalester Young right handed. While we're waiting for him, we pause now 10 seconds for station Identification. This is mutual. The radio network for all America W Now back at Municipal Stadium here in Cleveland. The Giants leading five to nothing the first half of the sixth inning. The new picture Ray Nar lefting relieving Art Hotelman who worked two innings of the ball game, gave up two hits, walked one, struck out one and allowed one run. Four of the Giant runs are charged to Mike Garcia. Valesky is a member of Al Lopez pitching staff. In the relationship. Here's one of the twin firemen along with Ray Naleski. Here's Don Martin. Those two boys have done a whale of a job this year. Now Lewesky's record is 3 and 3, but he started only two ball games throughout the regular season. He worked in 42 games and posted an earns run average of 2.22. First man to face him will be Whitey Lachman. Ottoman came in in the fourth inning, faced the top of the batting order. And now Reynoldski, the third Indian pitcher. The Giants lead 5 to nothing. The first pitch to Lockman is 412 high. Honeski is what the boys refer to as a hobnose. A lad who comes from there in relief just rears back and really fires. Next pitch is too high. Another fastball taking off high and outside. This time the count is ball to no strike. Last year he played under Bertie Tepetz, then manager of the Indianapolis Indians in the American Association. Moved up with the parent club this year. The two and nothing pitches. The strike right over about knee high. The count is two and one. Hank Mageca, the Indian third baseman in today's ballgame and on the edge of the infield grass, the outfield straight away, the two unpicked is high for ball three. Three and one the count. Brockman led off for the single in the first inning. The Giants went on to score a run, added three in the third and one in the fifth to lead five to nothing. Here's the winning the of and a three one pick a foul hit back into the stands. Off to the right of the plate. Out of play. And the count is ball three. Strike two. It's a very happy hot baseball bouncing around. It dropped from the upper deck and down below. Now the 32 pitch is ball four outside. Lachlan takes the base on balls. Blackman on first with a base on balls. He is the first man to face each of the three Indian hurlers. Here's Alvin Dodd. He bunts the first six down the first baseline. Word comes in up with it. Can't make a pay attention. Second Throw to Avila covering first. And Doc is out on the sacrifice play going three, four. First baseman and second baseman Covering Lachman moves to second with one out. Now in scoring position. Alvin Dodd, captain of the New York Giants, one of the key players on this ball club. This is at 1512 series game. Next lane up is John Muley. Swings on the first stick and chops it up to the left side of the infield. Hank Majeski is under and he has it for the second out. There are two gone. And coming up is Willie Mays, number 24, a giant center fielder, batting champion of the National League. Throughout the regular season. Neither batting champion has been able to do very much in this World Series up to date. Two out with the runner on second. Alexi's first pick. Base swing to Mercury.

sixth inning for the Giants. Score. One run on one hit. One walk, one man less. And we're going to the last half of the picture of the score. New York Giants 6, the Cleveland Indians. Nothing. Whether you know your baseball inside and out, just a casual fan. You'll get a real kick out of the new Gillette World Series record book. Small enough to fit in your pocket, big enough to answer thousands of questions, this handy reference book will get you more fun out of baseball. It has the score of every World Series game, winning pictures, all time record of every player, diagrams dimensions and shooting arrangements of every part. This year's player rosters, basic rules, scoring instructions, just about everything. To get a copy free, ask for that Gillette Super Speed Razor set. We Told you about a dollar. Checks on razor blue blade dispenser, travel case book and all. But don't delay, the supply is getting low. And now going into the last half of the sixth inning, it will be Al Smith leading off. Ruben Gomez has completed his warm up throws and is all ready to work on Al Smith. Up twice, he walks in the first inning line. Back to the pitcher in the third, swings on the first pitch. It's the bounding ball to the short stop. Big hop taken by Dark Dakota first and flip is out one six. One man out six three. In case you're scoring along with us, give you some idea of how effective Gomez has been. Proud of ascending the last three and in he has thrown just 33 50. Not wasting the batter is Bobby Avila 0 for 1, officially sacrificed in the first inning. The Giants lead 6 to nothing. Gomez picked his ball one outside, a curveball breaking away from him. The outfield is playing him straight away. Bobby Avila, Indian second baseman, batting champion of the American League. There is ball two high and outside two and no count. Gomez has given up just two hits. A bargain basement single for Larry Doby in the fourth inning. A single on the ground in to right center by Dave Philly to open the fifth inning. Next pitch is a strike hitting the inside corner. And that has been Gomez throughout this ball game up to this point. Putting that ball just where he wants to ball to strike one into the wind. Up it pitches and Gomez now has the count of ball and strike to Avila. Swung on that ball. I believe he foul tipped it out of the catcher's glove. It dropped to the ground. Turn 2. Umpire Conlon picked up the ball. Johnny Cucinello coaching at third base shouting encouragement. Down to the batter, Red Crest the coacher at first. One out and nobody on in the last half of the six innings. Avila steps out, Now in position. The tutu pitch is swung on and there's a fly ball hit into left field. But Dusty Rhodes moving back is under it and has it all the way for out number two, Hugon as Avila fired to left fielder Dusty Rhodes, who has certainly been one of the outstanding performers in this World Series. It just seems to work like magic for Leo De Rocha. The Giant manager Larry Dovey stepped into the batter spots. He has one out of two, left hand battery takes a strike with a fastball blaze through the middle. Strike one called. Ties are very much overcast. Well, well, great day here at Cleveland. The next pitch is ball one high and outside. The count is even up one and one, Two out and nobody on. They're playing Doby to pull deep and well around to right. The one and one pitch is a change up. Ball two. It was over but high. Ball two and strike one. Gomez takes his time from Cacti Weston. He rocks into the wind, up the pitch in, Dobby swings. It's a pop fly into left center. Over into this one is Willie Mays and he makes the catch. Mays backs off from a ball, makes you believe he's having trouble, but he just wants to give it that basket treatment. He holds the grub right down around the belts. Most of those catches Doby flag to maze and center. Three up and three down for the Indians. No run, no hits, nothing across. And at the end of six, the score is New York six, Cleveland nothing. You know, when Dusty Road blasted that long homer yesterday at the Polo Grounds in New York, I thought about the chapter called Hints on winning Bases Baseball in the new Gillette World Series record book. Among other things, it illustrates the golf like twing that's best for connecting with those long low ones. This is just one of the many things that makes this book so valuable to have handy anytime baseball is played or discussed. Now these six inning totals. The Giants have six runs, eight hits, no errors, the Indians no runs, two hits and two arrows. The Indians have left three men on the bases. The Giants have left a total of eight. It'll be Dusty Roads leading off in the first half of the seventh inning. Many of the fans here at the stadium have come up for the Giants half of the seventh inning. The old lucky feature seventh inning stretch, Number 26, dusty rose. Reynaleski. A swing and a miss on the first pick. Noweski working into the winder very hurriedly came out with a fastball. Boy approach that one. He could put it in lake series. Strike one. The next pick just swing and a miss with strike two. Umpire Al Bolic at second base. Now moves over to the first base side of the Keystone. Here's the wind up the orange who pick is playing a miss. Here's trouble now. So a rookie by the name of Ray Narleski stops the mighty Dusty Rose. He struck him out. The fans here get a tremendous kick out of it. David Williams has got three queens on the first kick and misses. Strike one. Dodge, of course, has been the sensation of this World Series thus far. Next pitch by now let's get to Williams is ball one outside and low with the curve count is even up one and one. One out of the first half of the seventh inning, the Giants lead six to nothing. Now let's see pitches. Ball two over but low. The count is two and one. He doesn't waste any time. Takes a short wind up and just pump. He had 52 strikeouts in 89 innings during the regular season. Next hit. Williams swings but misses. Strike two. Far too unstructured account. One out and nobody on the now let's get a third Indian picture.

From the all time series roster. In the Gillette World Series record book, Ted Williams averages 200, Stan Musial 256 and Jackie Robinson 242. The World Series is the best four out of seven. The Giants won the first two games in New York and lead the Indians on their home grounds right here in Cleveland in this third game by a score of 6 to 1. As we head into the first half of the eighth inning, the Giants will lead off with pitcher Gomez getting a nice hand from the crowd as he comes up. He's turned in a fine performance. Right hand B lined to center field and struck out twice. Alaska's first pitch, he swings and misses.

You know fans, this is only the third World Series for Cleveland. Yet its players have achieved the greatest single batting and fielding feats possible. In 1920. Elmer Smith slammed a homer with the bases loaded. Bill Wamgantz made a triple play unassisted. Now this is the kind of valuable baseball information that's packed into the 112 pages of the Gillette World Series record book. Be sure to get yours. Now. Umpire Jocko Conlon goes out and it looks like a new pitcher is going to be called into the game

[Baseball Analyst]

for

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

Wilhelm Derocha making with the knuckle sign his right hand. And that is going to be all for Reuben Gomez. Bart Wilhelm, a knuckleball pitcher, is coming

[Color Commentator]

into the game

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

to face Larry Doby. So Gomez, running into a bit of trouble here in the last half of the eighth inning, has worked 7 1/3 innings. He has given up five hits. He has walked three men. He has struck out two and is allowed two runs and is leaving two men on. Should they score, they will be charged against him. And now we have a change in our scoring. We've just had word from the official scorers that Al Smith does not get a base hit. However, he does get a run. Batted in is a two base throwing error charged to Alvin D. So Gomez has given up only four hits. That and you're scoring seven and a third innings given up four hits, walk three, struck out two, gave up two runs and is leaving two men on. Wilhelm, wearing number 49, taking his warm up throws. He is different from most knuckle ball pitchers in that he throws a fast knuckler. It's a knuckle ball, but it's very fast. Still works the same and is just as hard, if not harder to hit. Larry Doby, who was the hitting star of the 1948 World Series against the Boston Braves, now has a chance to come through for his ball club. All right. W. Helm says he's ready to work. No, he steps in. Smith is on second, Bobby Avila is on first. Mick Works is on deck. Indians trailing by foreruns. Marv Grissom now joins Wendy McCall, the left hander warming up in the bullpen. Grissom is the right hander that helped in the first game. Actually won it. All right. Wilhelm is ready. Here's the stretch. The pitch to Doby. He swings and misses. Strike one. Boy, and there was no question about what he wanted. He was swinging for the distance. As Al. He was swinging for defense. Runners move off. The next pitch swung on. A ground ball is hit to the first baseman. Lockman takes it, races to the back ahead of Doby. And Doby is out in a close play. The runners move up. Doby tried a slide in the first base, but Lockman beat. There are two out and the batter is Vic ws. The Giants lead by a score of 6 to 2. Now time is called. Westrom goes out to talk with Wilhelm. The other direction, Grocer proving that he can reach into the bag and come up with some prime relief pitching. Marv Grissom got credit for winning the first game of the World Series. Yesterday was Johnny Anginelli all the way. First pitch to words. Now his ball went outside. They'll try to keep it away from his power. Batter on deck is a right hand batter, Hank Majeski. Smith is on third, Avila on second. The Giants lead six to two. They're two out. Here's the wind up. The next pitch is a strike hitting the outside corner wayside. Ball one and strike one. Wor has certainly been the hitting star of the series for the Indians thus far. Just as roads has been for the Giants. Next pitch fouled. Back to the screen and now the pitcher has him in the hole. Ball one and strike two. One and two count. Will didn't like the ball that he got there. Tossed it back into the catcher and

the little left hander. The umpire back of the plate.

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

Jacques o' Connell throws another out.

[Color Commentator]

Into the wind.

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

Up the 1 and 2 pitch. Work swings and he misses. He struck him out. Works, goes down swinging. And Mr. Wilhelm did a mighty fine job. A right hand pitcher against two left hand batters. The Indians in the eight hang get just the one run on one hit. There was one giant error and two men were left on the bases. At the end of eight innings, the score is New York 6, Cleveland 2.

Better look you'll let the blades we need and our fans. We're back at Municipal Stadium in Cleveland going into the first half of the ninth inning of the third World Series game between the New York Giants and the Cleveland Indians. The new Tribe Pitcher is number 12, Darren Mossy. Mossy is making his second appearance in the World Series. Appeared in 40 ball games during the regular season. And young Narragan is the Indian catcher. Number 18, Al Narragan. He has just recently returned from the Marines this year and was carried by the ball club as that extra serviceman. He hails from Robertson, Ohio. He appeared in 45 ball games, posted a batting average of.238. And now in the first half of the ninth, it'll be Don Mueller leading off for the Giants. Left hand batter, number 22 against left hand pitcher, Don Mossey. Mueller has one out of four and has scored two runs. Swings on the first pitch and reps a line drive out over the third baseman's head into left field. A base hit. Smith is up with it. The throw to the infield, holds it to a single. Mueller line the first pitch end to left. His hit into left field in the third inning was a beautiful thing to see. With a hit and run on Dark was moving. Mueller hit one through the hole into left field. Now here's Willie Mays. Here's two out of four, two singles, both in the right field. He's a right hand batter, nobody out. First pitch is a strike. A fastball, letter high. Runner on first, John Mueller leads away. Nobody out. The next pitch is high and outside with a curve that refused. Ball one and strike one. May is today coming up with his first World Series hits. Has two of them now. The Giants have a total of nine as against four for the Indians. One and one the count. Here's the stretch the pitch is swung on and fouled back into the stands.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Out of play.

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

Count, moves to ball one. And strike two on the batter, Woody Mays, number 24 four on deck is Hank Thompson. All right, Marcy. Okay. The sign from his young battery mate, Al Narragan checks the runner. The one and two pitch is high. Ball two. Ball two and strike two. Maze has made his hits pay off today. Two hits, two runs batted in. Mueller takes the lead off, ready to travel. Katucho pitch, and it is ball three, a bit too high. Ball three. Strike two. Maze almost went through the swing, but held back just in time. Did not break the wrist. Ball three.

[Baseball Analyst]

Strike two.

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

And now Mueller will be moving the stretch. And the payoff pitch is swung. There's a line drive hit sharply into left center. Mueller makes the turn at second. He's going for third. He'll be in there standing up.

[Baseball Analyst]

Dobies.

[Additional Baseball Commentator]

Throw is to second. Mays holding it first. Three hits for Maes, and he has come through each time with Minnesota on base. That's the kind of a hitter you like, the guy that can deliver when there are runners on the sacks. Giant runners on first and third. Nobody out. The batter is Henry Thompson, third baseman. He has two walks and a double. Getting more action down in the Indian bullpen now as Bob Hooper starts to warm up. Right hander. First pitch to Thompson. Hits a line drive to Strickland. Strickland's throw back to first, and Mays is doubled. Maze was halfway to second and had not the slightest chance of getting back. And with one pitch, Marcia races two men. Mueller is holding at third. That's the first double play for the Indians, and just the second of the World Series. Thompson line to Strickland, who doubled Mays at first. Here's Dusty Rhodes up, two out, Runner on third. Mays was struck out by Naleski in the seventh inning. First pitch to him, he switched. And it's a ground ball foul down the first baseline. Out of play, and the count is strike one. Seven runs batted in in this World Series. And this is just the third game. The Giants are leading by a score of 6 to 2. And unless the Indians can pull their forces together, it looks like an abbreviated one. Next pitch is ball one, high and inside. One and one the count. Neither manager has named a starting pitcher for tomorrow's fourth game. Here's the wind up. The pitch is too low for ball two. Two and one the count. Mueller on third. He let off for the single, move to third on Maze's hit into left center. Thompson lined Into a double play. The outfield playing straight away. The next pitch to me to Rhodes is ball three inside and low pin one account. Ball 3. Strike 1. Rhodes came on in the third inning as a pinch hitter for Monte Irvin. Singled into right field, driving in two runs. Green run. The county may be gunning for it. Here's the wind up. And the pitch is a strike call. Little high. Full count of three and two on the batter. Fans start buzzing a little bit as Marcy gets ready for the big pitch. The count three and two with two out in the first half of the ninth inning. The Giants lead by a score, six to two. Marcy in action, the three two pitcher swinging a miss. He struck him out, gave him a high curveball and Rhodes went for it. Struck him out second time and. And two rookies turn the trick. So in the eighth inning for the giants, no runs. They had two hits, one man left. And going into the last half of the ninth inning, the score is New York 6, Cleveland 2.

Well, it's the last half of the ninth inning and the Indians have just

game and to get into the World Series. They have yet to push the victory victory. The Giants holding the lead two games to none and leading this game by four run six to two. Giants have collected 10 hits off Indian pitching. Five of them coming off Scott of Garcia, two off Art Hman relieved in the fourth.

[Bill Corum]

Now Lewesky gave up one hit and

[Color Commentator]

Marcy gave up two. However, the Giants failed to score against Marcy in the one inning that he worked. Hank Majeski will lead off for the Indians. Bottom half of the batting order is up. Clark Wilhelm, the knuckleball hurlo pitches.

[Color Commentator]

Well, the Indians have used four pitchers today. They could sure use a pair like Busy and Paul Dean. Right? Remember, they pitched and won all four games of the 34 World Series for the St. Louis Cardinals. Information like this gives you more baseball pleasure and the Gillette World Series record book is filled with it. One out, Nate Philly is up. Swings on the first pitch.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

It's a ground ball for second base

[Color Commentator]

and knocked down by Williams, but short of first. And Philly is out on a close play. There's that hustle in that giant infield and it'll pay off every time. Jimmy Dykes used to say, stop them with your chest, your knee, your elbow, anything, but go and get him and throw that back her out. Philly grounding out, taking the first four three. They're two gone and we're getting a pinch hitter. Dave Pope batting for George Strickland. Two up and two down for the Indian here in the ninth. The Giants lead by a score of six to two. Pope is the left hand batter, first pick. He swings on at the ground. Ball to the right side of the interior.

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

Williams covers over, pass up with it. The quarter first, and on a pretty play.

[Bill Corum]

Well, the clash stop the pressures and

[Color Commentator]

laid all news, I guess, of this

[Bill Corum]

third World Series game here in beautiful Municipal Stadium in Cleveland. Before this breakdown this afternoon was that the Indians finally got Dusty Rhodes out. In fact, they got him out twice, lay nor less descending and then dying. Morphy that last time he was at bats in the ninth inning, the last out.

[Color Commentator]

The Giant before that happened, the Dusty

[Bill Corum]

one had driven in two more runs

[Color Commentator]

to bring his total up to that

[Bill Corum]

point up to seven. And the record for four games is only nine held by Lou Geh. So he was still in there swinging when he went up the pig hit. And in the season and in this series as a pig hitter, he's gone 18, 448. And that is some 10th hitting. And Reuben, Reuben, I've been thinking that Gomez was quite a pitcher out there this afternoon. I don't know for sure that when the Indians put on their little sir there in the eighth inning, De Rocha would have had to take him out. But of course he's got such a tremendous bullpen. And that one fella, particularly with the

[Color Commentator]

weighted go ball, had finished up.

[Bill Corum]

Nobody hits him when he's like this much. Tony Cucinelli was over in Brooklyn, sitting with Tom Skihan, scouting the Giants, one of those teams over in Brooklyn. And Hoyt came in, Wilhelm and Fresco Thompson, some of them sitting there and they were watching this fall. If you ever notice it and see Western try to catch it, you have to jump at it. Knuckleball just goes everywhere and anywhere. So Thompson said to Kitchenella, said, Tony, maybe you better not knock their siding picture up. And that's the way well down finish up here this afternoon. For Gomez, it was a laughing game. For the Giants, you might Say. And right now it would look very much as if they had the Indians well on the run even here in their home to peace their own wig hump.

[Color Commentator]

They didn't look very good.

[Bill Corum]

Their picking wasn't too strong. Mike Garcia, the Big Bear, just didn't have it this afternoon. And after Rhodes came in and his daily act replacing Irving at Savannah and

[Color Commentator]

made his a big finch yet driving

[Bill Corum]

in the two run, well, that was pretty much the ballgame. Of course, Thick work finally found out how to get a ball over Willie May's head. He hit it over the fence for a tremendous home run. The ball was really tattooed. And that's one way the Indians can keep from leaving men on bases. As things stand now, they've left more men on bases in this series than some armies have soldiers. They have loaded them up and two

[Play-by-Play Announcer]

on and went on right through the series.

[Bill Corum]

But it seems almost impossible for them to get the big hit when they need it.

[Color Commentator]

Need it.

[Bill Corum]

And they needed it badly this afternoon

[Color Commentator]

because the Giants had their hitting clothes

[Bill Corum]

on right down the line. They were whacking that ball solid. Little, little Willie Mays came up with three rousing hits. Good clean hits and dark and all the gang. Mueller, the whole bunch was hitting that ball very well. Friday, Cochlan and West west from driving in the run. And it was a team victory for the Giants with a very fine pitching job by Gomez. And of course now tomorrow Deloitte can do pretty near anything.

[Color Commentator]

He's got some other pretty good pitches

[Bill Corum]

in there and he could use them two or three at a time or anything he wants to. Now, I don't know when an American League team, I mean a National League team ever won four straight from an American League team in the World Series. I would have to go back to 19.
