Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
And man, it's new. Brand new. Good afternoon, World Series fans. This is Mel Allen at commercial Comiskey park in Chicago. There are two firsts today. This is the first time a West coast team has appeared in the Series and the first time in Gillette's 21 years of broadcasting this great classic that we're coming to you from Comiskey park in Chicago. Gillette broadcast and telecasts major attractions on the Cavalcade of Sports. The year round events that include the World Series, World's Invitational match game, bowling championships, Blue Gray football game, Rose bowl game, Kentucky Derby, All Star baseball game, and the feature fight of the week every Friday night. This is our way of thanking you for using Gillette products. This broadcast is authorized under broadcasting rights granted by the Commissioner of Baseball solely for the entertainment of our listening audience and any publication, rebroadcast or other use of the descriptions and accounts of this game without the express consent of the commissioner is prohibited. It's been a long time in Chicago at Comiskey park. Forty years, a long wait. And White Sox fans are just as excited as they could possibly be over the dramatic pennant victory of Al Lopez men. And what could be more dramatic than the Los Angeles Dodgers coming from seventh place last year, going into a playoff, winning it in two straight. And suddenly, here we are opening up the World Series a day later than scheduled because of the playoffs and under perfect weather. 64 degrees with a wind coming from the northwest at 8 mph. This is known generally as a pitcher's ballpark because as a rule, the wind blows in. And today it is doing just that. Once in a while, the wind will shift, but it is blowing in today. And speaking of the pitchers, as advertised, the great early win for the Chicago White Sox and the young man who finished sensationally after coming back to the

The Dodgers did not even work out here yesterday. They were tired. Manager Wall Austin said. Get some rest, boys. And so they saw Comiskey park today for the first time as they came out to take their practice. The umpires are coming out and we're going to give you the lineups for the opening game of the World Series for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Jim Gilliam, leading off, third base, Charlie Neal. Second base, Wally Moon, Left field, Duke Snyder, center field, Norm Locker, right field, Gil Hodges. First base, Johnny Roseboro.

Maury Wills. Shortstop, Roger Craig. Pitching for the Chicago White Sox, Louis Aparicio. Shortstop, Nellie Fox. Second base, Jim Landis, center field, Ted Klisiewski, a late season arrival in the White Sox batting order as they acquired his contract from the Pittsburgh Pirates. First base, Sherm Lawler. Catching Billy Goodman. Third base, Al Smith, left field, Jim Rivera, right field. Early win, pitching. The 1959 World Series is being brought to you from Comiskey park in Chicago.
Pharmacist / Thorexin Advertiser
May I help you?
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Yes, I want something to relieve my child's cough.
Pharmacist / Thorexin Advertiser
My family takes Thorexin, the guided cough medicine.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Guided? What do you mean?
Pharmacist / Thorexin Advertiser
Well, Thorexin is guided right to the spot where coughing is controlled, the cough control center. You see, doctors know coughing is not controlled in the throat. Your throat merely follows orders from the cough control center, which sends the message and you cough. Now, ordinary cough syrups don't even touch the cough center. Until now, only cough medicines with narcotics could depress this cough center. But narcotics may leave undesirable side effects. Instead of narcotics, Thorexin contains Demetorphan. Thorexin soothes your throat, then speed through your bloodstream directly to the cough control center. Thorexin relieves coughing like aspirin, relieves headaches.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Fast.
Pharmacist / Thorexin Advertiser
Sure, safe for the whole family. So try Thorexin, the guided cough medicine.

The Los Angeles Dodgers came into this World Series with a sensational finish and beating the Milwaukee Braves and the defending champions in the National League in a playoff. And it was the third playoff for a Dodger ball club and the third in National League history. The Dodgers in 1946 lost to the Cardinals. And in 1954, they lost to the Giants. But this time, they won the playoff. Manager Walt Alston, who twice before has led the Dodgers into World Series competition, did a magnificent job in bringing his team from seventh place last year to first place. And that's the first time in National League history that has ever been done. The last time that happened in the American League, the New York Yankees in 1925 finished seventh and jumped back to first place in 1926. And the Boston Red Sox finished seventh in 1945 and jumped to first place in 1946. This ballpark, to give you a bit of an idea of its layout is standardized in the distances all around the park. From home plate down the left field line is 352ft. 352ft down the right field line. At a point in left center it's 375. At a similar point in right center, 375 straightaway center are the two bullpens divided. And a little fence about 4 or 5ft high and it's 415ft away. It's a double decked affair. It is a pitchers ballpark as a rule. Plenty of running room for the outfielders to go get those drives. We will have different dimensions of course, when we go to the Los Angeles Coliseum there is a fence 12ft high. The double decked stands will run of course, somewhere in the neighborhood of oh 75 or 80ft high to the top of the pavilion to get to the starting pitchers. Roger Craig for the visitors won 11 and lost five. He's had quite a comeback year. Just as has Early Win. Last year Roger Craig, after having been demoted by the Dodgers because of a sore army, lost 17 games in the American association with the St. Paul and the 6 foot 4 North Carolinian from Durham. Bothered by arm trouble plagued him last spring. The Dodgers farmed him out to Spokane, brought him up in mid June and he went on to win 11 and he lost five and he did a tremendous job. Ended the 1959 season with a five game winning streak. Pitched complete games in his last three starts. He has pitched in three World Series games, two of them starts. Starting the fifth game of the 55 series against the Yankees at Ebbets Field, winning five to three, giving up two runs, four hits and six innings. And in 1956 he started the third game at Yankee Stadium, lost at 5 3. He was used in relief in the seventh game of the 56 series at Ebbets Field. His overall series record 12 innings, 14 hits, 10 runs, all of them earned. Eight walks and eight strikeouts. Early win is one of the all time winning pitchers. At 39 years of age, he won 22 games. He lost 10. He pitched in only one World Series against the Giants at the Polo Grounds and lost it. He has won 271 major league games and stands 15th among the all time winners. He led the majors in victories this year and in his Only previous series game he started for Cleveland against the giants in the second game in 1954, losing it three to one, giving up only four hits in seven innings. These two ball clubs sport good defense. The Dodgers figure to have a little more power. The Dodgers have depth and pitching, though, as Walt Austin says, a great deal depends on control. When they have control, they can pour the ball by you. The White Sox with early win, the bellwether have Billy Pierce and a surprise

Right now we have at home plate a color guard and we'll have a band in the moment playing as we have our national anthem. But this series promises to be one in which you will find both teams playing close to the best baseball quite a lot. The White Sox have won an amazing number of one run games. And so have the Dodgers. They get a man on, they sacrifice him. They have Men who can steal bases. And so it's going to be an exciting series in that respect. And you also have catchers on both sides, Roseborough and Lawler, who can fire that ball. Louis aparicio, who stole 56 bases this year, is a man to be watched. And a fellow like Maury Wills is one of the fastest men in the majors. And the young man who came along later in the season with the Dodgers took over at shortstop and helped solidify the team. Both managers really know their baseball. Walt Alston has had previous World Series experience. Al Lopez has always been a bridesmaid, but never quite a bride. He has never finished lower than second in Cleveland or Chicago. But this is the year for the senor Al Lopez, one of the best liked men in baseball. And so we're looking forward to one of the most exciting World Series.

This is America's greatest sports spectacle.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
The umpires, Bill Summers, the American League at home plate. And this will be his eighth appearance. He's from Upton, Massachusetts. Frank Dascoli of Danielson, Connecticut at first base of the National League. Summers from Upton, Mass. And Daniel Dascoli from Danielson, Connecticut. Ed Hurley from Holyoke, Massachusetts of the American League and his third series will be at second base. And Frank Sicore of Port Huron, Michigan will be the umpire at third base. It's his second series. Johnny Rice of the American League in his first series, a native of Chicago along the left field line. And Hal Dixon will be stationed along the right field foul line. He of the National League and he's from St. Petersburg, Florida. So the 28 year old Roger Craig and the 39 year old early win will be the opening game pitchers. And already both managers have named their pitchers. For tomorrow it'll be George Shaw for the White Sox and Johnny Podras for the Dodgers. The weather today is a little bit on the cool side, but fine. 64 degrees. And of course they're jam packed here. Comiskey Park's seating capacity is 46,540 but with standing room they may move closer to 50,000 while at the Los Angeles Coliseum they can pack in close to 100,000. But right now

And so the scene is set for the first game of the 1959 World Series, the 10th World Series and the 57th World Series game for the Dodgers. This is the fourth series in the 21st series game for the White Sox. Ten Dodger players have had previous World Series experience. Perillo, Hodges, Snyder, Gilliam, Lebein, Craig, Padres, Drysdale, Neil and Zimmer. Koufax was eligible for 55. There go the White Sox on the field. Smith, Ferguson, Lawler and Wynn are previous series men that are on the White Sox team and they were with other clubs. As the White Sox take the field and get set for the first game of the World Series, it is with great pleasure that I turn the microphone over to my colleague, one of America's great sports voices. Our paths crossed many times on national sports events during the season he broadcast the Philadelphia Phillies games. Byram sound
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
thank you very much, Mal. And right now Red Faber, who was on the championship team in 1917 when the White Sox last won the World's championship makes the first draw. His old battery mate Ray Shock is also here. And of course it's great to see these old timers. As Mel mentioned, the White Sox are already on the field. You couldn't ask for a better baseball day. And now the Dodgers are getting ready to go to bat. Now this World Series as you know, has to go four games and it can go as long as seven. Matter of fact, over the last three years the series has carried to the full seven games. 39 year old right hander early win is now warming up. His only World Series performance in 1954 he was defeated and the fellow that actually knocked him out of the game was the fabulous Dusty Ross. Now the Dodgers have come into the World Series after winning two over the Milwaukee Braves. It's been a fantastic Cinderella team that comes here from Los Angeles. And as Mal mentioned earlier, they were so tired after their plane trip back to Chicago, but they did not work out here yesterday.

Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
And here to lead off, Kim Gilliam,
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
third baseman, a switch hitter and over the season in the national league was batting at.282. Now wins, has most everything at his control. He's a fierce competitor. He's fast. He throws slow tantalizing curveballs. He throws a screwball. Here comes the first pitch of the ball game. Gilliam takes it down. The fight to strike one. Gilliam will be followed by Charlie Neal and Wally Moore Roseborough later on of course. Coming up batting seven. Craig against Wynn today. Inside and low one and one win. One more games than any other pitcher in the major leagues. Quite a comeback. He won 14 a year ago. But this season a 22 game winner. The Husky swings into action. Strike two is called on. Junior. Gilliam, of course, is the ideal leadoff man. He draws a lot of walks. He's an excellent butter. Billy Goodman, who was playing up a bit shallow, is now back up to normal depth. Wins ahead on the count. One ball, two strikes. There's a bounding ball to shortstop Louis Aparicio. Makes the first out as he hooks the ball to Ted Kozewski. And that's all for Junior Gilliam. One gone. Yes, it's been a long time since the Chicago fans have had a World Series in the windy setting. You have to go back to 1945 when the Cubs were in the World Series. And of course way back to 1919, when the Sox were last in the Series. Here's one of the finest infielders in baseball. His name is Charlie Neal, second baseman and a right handed batter. Goes into the series with a.287 average over the season, including the two playoff games, swinging. Strike one. Charlie will be a tremendous threat back at the Coliseum. That's where the third game will be played next Sunday. For he has hit Most of his 19 home runs at the Coliseum. The Sox are playing him straight away. Fastball, he cuts and fouls it off.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
Strike two.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Now Charlie is rated as one of the best curveball hitters in baseball. And these first two pitches offered up by Win have been fast ones up around the letters on the coaching lines today for the Dodgers. The veteran Greg Maleevi at first base. And Peewee Reese, one of the all time greats, is coaching at third base. One out and nobody on win ahead. 02 inside above. It's very interesting to notice the skipper Al Lopez standing here at the extreme right end of the home team dugout, which is located just off to our left on the third base side. He was trying to make an adjustment on his right fielder. Jim Rivera, outside breaking pitch.

Most of the streets in Chicago have been designated as one way avenues. Later on, when the game is over, they all lead back to of the Loop. Even new street signs have been added here to show people, the visitors, how to get to this famous Comiskey Park. Two balls, two strikes long. Fly ball, but it's curving foul to left. Al Smith coming over, but it disappears into the upper deck. Two balls and two strikes

in the

on deck circle is Wally Moore. Now some of these Dodgers have never seen this ballpark. And these teams did not even meet in spring training. They had a couple of games scheduled, but they were rained out.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
Two, two.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Another foul. Neil stays alive. Now you're in field for the Sox. Billy Goodman operating at third, Apariccio at short, Nelly Fox at second base. Ted Kluzewski, the huge first baseman who came over on the 25th of August at first. And in the outfield it's Al Smith, Jim Landis, Jimmy Rivera, Lawler, catcher given to him. Ball three is low and outside. Neal standing fairly deep in the batting box. This fella has a real good level short swing. He taps one wide of third. Billy Goodman can't handle it. The ball skids off the glove and goes back of Aparicio. And Charlie Neal is safe with a base hit. A base hit. The first of the World Series of 1959. Manager Walt Austin will tell you Wally Moon coming to bat. This wiry Texan was the most consistent ball player he had all year. He came from the St. Louis Cardinals and he played in practically every game. Wally is a left handed butter. Mal and I were trying to decide whether he was in left or right, but today he is starting left field. Now Win keeps an eye on the baserunner, Charlie Neal. A token throw. He's safe. One out and one man on at the top of the first inning. The Dodgers at bat. Win throws. Strike call to get fastball. On the season. Wally hit 3:02 and on the bases. He's a very, very good daring baserunner. You'll take a base when you least expect it now. Well, again, flips over to first base. Neal still
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
all right.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
The cagey right handed throws and Moon sends a high fly ball to left. It's playable. And Apariccio is coasting back and getting under. And Louie puts it away for the second. Up, two gone. Duke Snyder, veteran of many World Series, batting in the cleanup spot now coming in. It's amazing that Duke has been in six World Series. He's been in 32 ball games. And of course, in a couple of those series against the Yankees, he was red hot. I think another one of the reasons that Los Angeles came back so strongly from seventh to win the title was a couple of their old pros, fellas like Snyder and Hodges. Carol Cuke's a left hander, they playing deep to right. And strike one is called. Now the wind at all times in Chicago is a factor and it is blowing directly in from center field at about eight miles an hour. Neil gets a pretty good lead. And there he goes. The pitch is outside and Charlie Neal steals second base. He got a great lead on early win that time and a successful steal of second base. Well, this is one of the things that we were looking for from the Chicago White Sox. And Charlie Neal, who during the season was the second best base stealer on the Dodger ball clock, has come up with the first steal in the series. Now they've got a runner at second base. The count on the Duke. One ball, one strike. Now, Lawler's straw was accurate enough, but it was a late. Here we go foul, but sent directly back into the screen. Well, the press box today is completely overloaded down in front of us. The visiting strides from all over the country are actually sitting in some of the choice seats here that would be utilized during the regular season. And Mel and I have a wonderful position to call the game today, we're directly behind home plate, sitting up high, just under the rooftop. Two Minor gone, no score. But the Dodgers have Charlie Neal at second base. Win is very slow, very deliberate stretches. Throw outside. Two balls, two strikes. Little Nie Fox, who plays the hitters about as well as anyone, plays a very deep second base on Snyder. Zewski playing deep and fairly close to the line at first, outside low. That ball just missed the strike zone. You can see Win sort of clinch his fist out there and says, gee, I thought I had it a full count on Snyder. Charlie Neal came up with an infield single and then moved into second base with a successful steal. Now something's got to give when on the stretch. Here's a pitch high for ball four. Snyder walks and the Dodgers have runners at first and second place. Now you could see Wynn was certainly trying to work the corners and he didn't give Snyder too much.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
Now Norm Locker is hitting in the

Norm Locker, blocker,

Blocker.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Hit.290 on the season. They've got him in right field. And there was a time when Gil Hodges was hurt and he took over at first base. Sends one foul. A high twisting ball. It's off on the third base side. Strike one. Locker has to be one of the most underrated players on the Dodger Ball club. It reminds me a lot of Nelly Fox. He's had to fight his way into the major leagues. And this Fellow was a consistent.300 hitter four years in a row in the minor leagues before he got a chance in the big show. Austin loves to rave about this fellow's swing. A short swing and a very level swing. He's a left handed butter win cuts loose outside one on one. This batter, Norm Locker, is considered to be the Dodgers best butter. And he won a few games for LA this year with a squeeze. Bunch strength, good breaking pitch. The booming voice of Bill Summers, the veteran of the American League working behind the plate today. Also, we have two added umpires today. One down the right field line and one down the left field line. This is the first game of the World Series. The Dodgers are posing a threat here in the first inning. Two on, two out and Locker the better win ahead.
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
He throws.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
There's a well hit ball to right field. Jimmy Rivera is over though waiting. And the White Sox have come out of the first inning. Los Angeles, no runs, one hit, two left. There were no errors. The score completing a half inning from Comiskey park today, Louisiana. Nothing, Chicago nothing. Well, the leadoff man in the bottom of the first inning will be Louis Aparichio. And what a ball player. He is unanimously voted the top shortstop in the league. He is a leading candidate for the most valuable player award. Of course, Louis is a Gillette user and one of our top boosters. Now listen what he has to say about the new Gillette adjustable razor. Yes, there's nothing like a razor you set to your own skin and beard. Boy, what comfort I get. Now fans, you'll agree with Louis. I'm sure that once you try that amazing new Gillette 195 adjustable. And here's why. This sensational new razor has a dial located right on the handle, you adjust it instantly to match your particular combination of skin and beard. Now, there are nine different numbered stops at the settings. With the lower numbers, you expose less blade edge. As you dial a higher number.

Right hander Roger Craig warming up. Easygoing North Carolinian who has been the hottest Dodger pitcher over the last three weeks. Here is Louis Apariccio. He stands only 58 but he is the darling of the fans here in Chicago. He is batting at.257 from Maracaibo, Venezuela. A right handed battery. Here's Craig's pitch. Strike one call. Craig one time with a fine fastball pitcher. However, he encountered arm trouble today. He is principally a slider and sinker ball artist. Straight to is caught and he prides himself in getting the ball over the plate. Boston has already pointed out to beat the White Sox, you've got to keep this little fellow off the bases. He pops one up near second base and the shortstop is coming over. That's Murray Wills who makes it one down.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
Nelly Fox, number two.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
The second baseman, Nelson Fox. Nelly is the only.300 hitter in the Chicago lineup today, batting at 3:06. But what a competitor he is. Batsam left handed from St. Thomas, Pennsylvania. And I suppose that about half of that little community in Western Pennsylvania is attending this World Series. Outside low one and all, it's Craig pitching with Roseborough. Catching your infield is Junior Gilliam, Mari Wells, Charlie Neal and Gil Hodges. Locker Snyder and Moon holding down the outfield. Now Fox steps out and apparently has asked the plate umpire to look over the ball one and oh. Outside of all now, Fox is an unusual hitter. He cataloged as a spray hitter. He stands right on top of the plate and he gets many of his hits to left field. High for ball three. Now the Dodgers had two men on in the first inning but could not score. It's nothing to nothing in the first game of the World Series from Chicago.

Jimm Landis coming up, Jimmy Landis, one of the bright stars coming along. You just can't beat this fella in the outfield. And Lopez gets a lot of credit for the patience he's had with his youngster in bringing him along as a batter. Strike one call. Over the past season he has at 264. Jimmy Landis and I noticed the Dodgers and they've scouted this club very very well. They play him to left. Here's a pitch Out. A throw to first base. And there goes Fox sliding in. He's back safely

And of course, pitched a wonderful game last Sunday against the Cubs right here in Chicago to help clinch the pennant. At least a tie for it. Outside and low. Two balls, two strikes, One gone. Fox edging off at first base. Outside and low. He just misses with his slider pick. Three balls, two strikes. Now the coaches for the White Sox.

One out. Here's one of their late additions. He's been quite a ball player. Who was born and raised right here near Chicago, but today makes his home in Cincinnati. He joined the White Sox coming over from Pittsburgh on the 25th of August. Outside a ball. On the season, he hit.275. And about three years ago, it was doubtful if Ted was going to stay in baseball at all. He had a very, very severe hip and back condition. Strike one. Ball one. Strike. Roger Craig and a bit of hot water here in the first. Fox got a walk and Landis had a 32 pitch. Lined it over Charlie Neal's head into right side. 1 and 1.

Landis took off and of course just the movement of the baserunner sometimes throws the infield a bit off and there was a hole between first and second and Klasiewski poured it through there. So the mighty Ted has fed it across the first run of the game. 1 Nothing Chicago Although Klaswski has been in baseball for many years, this is the first time he's ever played in the World Series.

He believes that the Chicago team of this year is the greatest he's ever played for. He's a right hander and of course over the last week or so he's been out with an injured hand. Jim Bunning of Detroit hitting accidental pitch got away and it was a bruise and he was held out of competition there for a few days. But he's the real leader of this Chicago pitching staff. He operates like Dale Crandall of that Milwaukee Brave team. There's a full foul to left.

Strike two.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Sherm hit 22 home runs during the season, which was the highest total of all of the Chicago ball players. Chuck Chern is now starting to throw a few in the bullpen and I might add here in Comiskey Park. The two bullpens are located straight away in center, the Dodger bullpen to the right of the flagpole and the home team bullpen just to the left and the huge scoreboard just above it. Every seat taken here for the first game of the series. Terrific first inning so far. The Sox are leading outside low one ball, two strikes. Now Craig did get into A World Series in 1955, as a matter of fact, he was a winner over the Yankees the next year. In 1956, he was defeated by Whitey Ford in a World Series game. Five to three. Two men are on the stretch of the pitch. And it's a slap foul. It's just off to our right. And caught by one of the visiting strides. Needless to say, there were hundreds and hundreds of writers talking with Craig before the game. He seemed to be more concerned about his hitting. He says, you know, I'm not a bad hitter. He throws outside long. Two balls and two strikes. Nelly Fox has already scored the first run of the 1959 World Series. He scampered home on a single by two Ted Klosinski. And Craig is not out of the woods by any means. Landis is now at third, Klasiewski at first. One out inside and high ball three. And they've got Craig working. It's a second three, two count. He's run up. And the last half of the first inning. One to nothing's the score of the Chicago White Sox League. Three balls, two strikes, a pop foul. It's carrying, I believe, out of play. Yes, coming over just beyond the photographer's ledge. One of the most terrific things about the Dodger team and it's amazing stretch run, has been their terrific pitching. As Mel Allen told you earlier, this club won 15 out of its last 20 games. And if they were not strong in the starting, they had some terrific youngsters to come out of that bullfen. All right, three and two to Lawler. He swings a line five.

Now your batter is Billy Goodman, a very much underrated ball player. Who takes strike one. Now in this series, you can look for Billy Goodman and Bubba Phillips to alternate at third. Here's a fly ball into center. Schneider backing off, has the room. And the Duke has it for the final lap. Well, that was quite a first inning, wasn't it, for Chicago two runs, two hits, one man left on There were no errors and at the end of the first inning, the score Chicago 2, Louisiana. Nothing.

Hodges, over the last couple of weeks of the National League pennant race, usually was batting in the number five batting spot. He's an old pro. He's been in seven World Series. And of course Gill has had his ups and downs. Two weeks ago he was almost bandaged from head to foot, but he kept playing.

He has it. That ball was hit a good 350ft away. And it's only 352ft to the left field wall. We'll give you an idea. One down, Number 44, the left handed hitting catcher of the Dodger ball team, John Roseborough. Johnny Roseborough from Compton, California. Johnny didn't hit too high on the average, but he certainly came up with some big hits over the last week. Fouls just went out of far his strike one. Many of you remember his home run at Milwaukee on Monday. Won the first game in the playoff three to two. Good power to right. Nobody on. One out. Wind cuts loose. A change. It's high. One on one. Even at 39 years of age, Wynn has one of the most graceful moves and pitching motions of anyone I've ever known. Too high ball to him, anytime the Sox were in difficulty this year, he was a man that won the key game. There was a stretch in September when the Sox lost three in a row and they were starting to worry. And he stopped that losing speak in a hurt. Two and one. A foul up and overhead. Two and two. It's nice to be talking with you. The World Series is underway. The first two games, as you know, are to be staged here in the American League park. The next three will come from Los Angeles, the Coliseum and if more games are needed back here in Chicago. Two, two win throw, fly ball infield, third base side. And Apariccio is making the call. And Louie stays with it, you know, with a glove and on base. There is no equal to that little fella. Apariccio.

The score is two to nothing. The White Sox lead in the first game of the World Series. Mari Wills, shortstop, is being announced now. Murray has certainly been an integral part of his Dodger success.

This is by song. We're sitting in on the first game of the World Series. The Sox lead two to nothing. Roger Craig getting ready to go. And the batter is Al Smith. Smitty was in one of the World Series. A matter of fact he got a home run in the first inning. He's happy to be here in Chicago on the season. He at 237 and Craig pitches. A quick sinker inside and low one and all. They play Al Smith as a full hitter to left. Strike, says Bill Summer. Her. Roger Craig throws and Smith ran up on the pitch, try to bunt and it is fouled off one ball, two strikes. The White Sox made good use of a walk, two singles and a sacrifice fly to get two runs home in the first inning. Strike three called. And that's all for Al Smith. Craig hangs up. A strikeout. Number seven, right fielder Jim Rivera. Jim originally hailed from Brooklyn but now lives here in the state of Indiana and he will be alternated in right field. According to the pitching are out of foul at the beach a lot the first baseline strike one. Over the season, Jimmy hit at.226, but he's a real live wire and he keeps this Chicago ball club very loose. Left hander with a slightly open batting stance sends a high twisting foul. It might be playable. Hodges coming off the line and Gill backs up and makes it. And that is all for the Chicago outfielder. Two to now. Here comes early win. Having a nice round of applause. It's going to be interesting to see. Lopez will rotate his starting pitchers, but the Chicago writers have been speculating all week this fellow is likely to be a starter in three different games if the series goes that far. Now when is considered to be one of the best hitters in baseball and he's a switch hitter. He had a.244 batting average over the season. He had 22 hits and he also hit a couple of home runs. Runs. He is batting left handed against Craig swinging. Strike one. Most of the managers I've talked with always point to early win. They were asked, what pitcher would you like to have if you had to win one ball game Strike two. Call. I noticed that Craig works a little more faster between the pitches than win 2 gone 2 nothing. Chicago leads, taps the ball to the mound. Craig bobbles, recovers and throws. And that's all for early win. Three up and three down in the second inning for the Go Go Sox. We have now completed two innings in World Series game number one score White Sox 2 LA nothing.

Roger Craig will be leading off in the top of the third inning. Roger Craig A right handed batter leading off against wind. And high and inside one and all. It's been a fantastic story on Craig. He came up from Spokane midway through the season. He had a losing record in the minor leagues and Last year at St. Paul he lost I believe more games than anyone in the league. But what a comeback. Here's a foul upstairs. 1 and 1. Of course the reasoning on that is that he had a sore arm and he was trying to work it out. He claims today that he's a lot smarter pitcher, although he doesn't throw quite as hard. One and one straight two is called. Lead off better and he'll be followed by Jim Gilliam. Now Craig has almost every bit of information on his baseball career at his fingertips. He was telling us he got one hit in the World Series. I believe that was in 1956 even though he lost the game to Whitey 4.

So Craig has been knocked out after two and a third innings and what salvos a double by Fox, a single by Landis and a home run by Ted Klosinski. After two and a third innings, Craig is out.

Ground ball wide of first. Hodges can't get it. A base hit. Here comes a runner around third and while Lawler is not a Speed Merchant.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
He scores.
Sports Commentator / Analyst
Chicago leads six to nothing.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Hollow back passes. Team certainly has looked terrific. Here it is early in the World Series, but they're hitting that ball. That six run will be charged against Roger Craig. And left hander Sandy Koufax is starting to tune up for the west coast team. The last five batters to come to the plate have all been able to get off. The highlight of this inning, a home run by Theodore Kinski. Ch side armor pitching low and outside to Al Smith. 1 0. Right hander cuts loose inside a ball. Smith struck out as a lead off batter in the second. Don't underrate this Al Smith. His batting average is not something you write home about, but he can be dangerous. Right hander swings and there's a ball
Sports Commentator / Analyst
well tagged to left. It is over the head of Moon. Ricochets off of the concrete wall. Billy Goodman they're sending into third. Wait a minute. They're going to have no. The ball gets by Hodges. And here comes the man home. They had held Goodman up, but the ball got by Hodges and another run scored. Seven nothing Chicago.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Now there's going to be an error, I'm sure. First of all, take nothing away from Smith. He doubled that ball clear over Moon's head. Moon then threw the ball towards second but base. And they had held at one time. Goodman at third. But then the ball got by Hodges and Goodman took off with the plate and he scored. And with it Smith arrives at third base. The infield is up. The batter now is Jim Rivera and it's a strike one call. There's a mounting ball to the second baseman. They're coming to the plate.
Sports Commentator / Analyst
Roseborough lets it get by. They had the man dead coming home. But the ball gets by Roseborough. Another run score. It's now eight to nothing Chicago.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
Charlie Neil, with the infield drawn in made the pickup and it appeared he
Sports Commentator / Analyst
made a good throw. But it's sked by Rose Barrow and Smith is allowed to come in.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
And Rivero takes off and makes second base.
Sports Commentator / Analyst
While the White Sox are having a big time of it. They rolled an error on Snider on
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
that two base hit off the wall by Al Smith. Snider made the throw and Snyder was charged with the arrow. Now here is still another arrow added against the Dodgers. The batter is early. The pitch is a ball long.
Sports Commentator / Analyst
The Go Go Sox have batted around. Line drive to left center. That might be a hit.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
It is.
Sports Commentator / Analyst
It's in there for extra bases. Here comes another on home. Rivera scores an early win. Chips in with a double. Oh, Are these White Sox going to town? They lead nine to nothing. It's a double for early win. On the last play they rolled an ERA on Neil.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
So this has really been a hectic inning for the California 9.
Sports Commentator / Analyst
Early win doubles home a run.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
White Sox fans can hardly believe it, but are they having a lot of fun. Seven rocks have poured across in this wild third inning. The batter now is Louis Apariccio batting for the second time. Luis sends one to the mound. Chuck Churn stops it. He made a look at second base and goes to first. And Louis Aparicio is up two guys. Ellie Fox stepping in. It'll be the second time up for him in this inning. Yes. Milwaukee scored seven runs against Bob Turley and knocked him out in the very first inning. The second game of the World Series at Milwaukee Last year. There were no errors in that barrage. However. Walks and hits. Now ball one is served up to Nelly Fox. He walked in the first inning and scored. He doubled in the third inning and scored. Turn draws late. Swing and he sends the one twisting the left foul out of play. One and one. The Sox have nine runs on eight hits. Early win at second. Fox sends one spinning right out by Cinella. Just missing one ball, two strikes. Roger Cragg started the game. He was lifted midway through this third inning. The towering right handed Karen throws as a grass cut it down to short. The pickup is made by Mari Wills. Over to first in time. And that's the final left. What an inning. Goal for Chicago. Seven runs on six hits. There were three Dodger eras and one man left on. And at the end of three innings of play, the score reads Chicago nine, Los Angeles nothing. Look sharp, feel sharp, be sharp.

comes up
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
with a record two arrows and one inning in World Series competition.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
Seven runs were scored and I do
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
believe three arrows and one inning might hit on a World Series record. But with it all, the White Sox have really stepped out front. Wally Moon will be leading off in the top half of the fourth inning. Now ready to go. Esposito playing at third base. And you'll find that Lopez will be juggling that position quite a bit during the Series. All right. A tap ball toward a second base. I doubt if they got a play. They do not. Moon beats it out. A drag bunt and a base hit for Wally Moon. Most of you probably remember this if you followed baseball for any length of time. But the most runs scored in any one inning by one club was the Fabulous Athletics in 1929. They scored 10 runs in one inning to beat the Cubs. That was a day that they were trailing eight to nothing.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)

It is a foul. Into those lower box seats. Strike one. To some of the fans who haven't seen the White Sox during the season, they have really put on a show today. They're out front, nine to nothing. We're waiting now for the second pitch to go. Hodges sends one spinning out over second base. It's a hit. And Wally Moon moves on down the line. Line to second. Sawrunners at first and second base. Waiting for Johnny Roseborough. The Dodgers, of course, have been behind in games this year. They haven't been behind nine to nothing early in the game very often, I can tell you that.
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
But we have seen them on many
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
occasions come from behind a win. And you'll remember, in the middle of September, they were trailing and came on to beat out two ball clubs, Milwaukee and San Francisco. Now strike one is caught. The official ruling on the play a moment ago on the ball, it was hit towards second baseman Neil. They ruled an arrow against Neil on a low throw that got by Johnny Rose. Barrow. Two on, two out.

Hey, but some World Series history is being made. This is truly a tremendous ball club, at least through the early rounds of this first game.
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
The White Sox. This is quite surprising in view of the fact that the White Sox have
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
been a team known as a team
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
that beat you with the base hit or a walk, a sacrifice, a stolen base, another base hit, and suddenly they have broken loose with tremendous power. So that has been a complete reversal of form. And that's of course, if I may be a little bit nice is what makes it all so wonderful.
Mel Allen (Sports Broadcaster)
You really don't know what's going to happen.
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
Of course. Records have been tied right and left. I don't know whether you want to bore the people all of these statistics. Most home runs in a game, the Babe hit three. And of course been many who have hit two. And of course this two in a row here. But we'll give them the statistics insofar as the records a little bit later.
Baseball Play-by-Play Announcer
I believe too that Mel could tell you that the White Sox were practically last in their own league and home runs. I do believe they hit more home runs against Cleveland though than Cleveland hit against Chicago. But be that as it may, Klasicki has really led the parade so far. Now Clem Levine, the old curveballer, is up there working and his opponent is now Sherm Lawler, outside ball. The third Dodger pitcher has entered the ball game. Clem Levine, right hander from Woonsocket, Rhode island has been considered over the years one of the top relievers in the game. Ball two is low. Now catcher Lawler hit a sacrifice fly which was good enough to get a run home in the first place, and he was safe on a two base error by Duke Snyder in the third inning. 11 to nothing. Chicago leaves nobody on. Klasiewski took care of that.

That's all for Sammy Esposito. Outfielder Al Smith. He was out on strikes, but then he turned and got a double to left. He hit one over the head of Wally Moon that ricocheted off of the concrete wall in left and later scored. The eighth Chicago run, piling up an 11 to nothing lead. That's the story of the White Sox. A fly ball hit pretty deep to right center. Schneider and Locker coming together. Who wants it? Locker for the out. So in the fourth inning, two runs on two hits, including a homer by Klisicki and nobody left on. And at the end of 4, 4 It's the White Sox EL11, Los Angeles Dodgers, nothing. In Chicago.

Swings to the wind. Up round comes the right arm. In comes the pitch and it's in there for strike. Johnny Kirchstein is warming up for the Dodgers. While Austin said before the zero. Not making any excuses but just merely analyzing the situation. Result of the playoffs and the big finish. The pitchers retired. Here's the pit. Swung on and fouled back. The most rested man was Roger Craig who started but the White Sox quickly got him out of there. In the fourth inning, Craig was charged with five runs, Chuck Chern was six. Lebine and Kufax have come in to stem the White Sox tide. Now the two strike pitch to the right hand batter. Gil Hodges takes it into the dirt. Is it out in front and skipped by Sherman Lawler.

In the last half of the seventh inning, Johnny Kupstein comes in to pitch. White Sox fans, who of course predominate here today, are up for their seventh inning stretch. They waited 40 years for this World Series. Not all of them, of course, because some of them not 40 years old, but the last pennant the White Sox won was in 1919. They had, of course, won three pennants previously, and now Johnny Klipstein comes in to take over. Sandy Koufax, who came on in the fifth, worked two perfect innings, three up and three down in each inning. Sherman Lawler will be leading all for the White Sox in the last of the seven. Sam Esposito on deck and Al Smith to follow. The White Sox won the first American League pennant in 1901, but there was no World Series. The first World Series was played in 1903. The White Sox won again in 1906 and beat the crosstown rivals, the Chicago Cubs, four out of six. And then in 1917, when the White Sox next won, they beat the Giants four out of six, but lost to Cincinnati in 1919, five out of eight. The Dodgers, on the other hand, have been in nine World Series. This is the 10th, and they've only won one out of the nine line, which they participated. Right hander Johnny Klipstein, who had a record of 4 nothing on the season, pitching to Sherman Lawler, the delivery low outside for a ball. Klippstein only appeared in 28 games, mostly in relief, worked only 46 innings. Here's the pitch. Swung on and fouled off out of play, A one one count. The brilliant sunshine that prevailed when the first game of the World Series began has now given away to cloudy skies and the temperature Is dropping somewhat below the 64 that it was at noontime. Klippstein delivers to Lawler, low and away, ball two, two and one. Lawler hit a sacrifice fly to right center in the first inning, was safe on an error by Snyder in the third on a fly ball to center. And he flied to center again in the fourth. Here's the pitch. Swung on and fouled off at the plate. White Sox 11, the Dodgers nothing. It's the last of the seven. You know by. It's an oddity. If a team ever has to look lose a game, they'd rather lose it. Eleven and nothing. Not that this one is over, but they'd rather lose it this way than three to two or one to nothing. I mean, Val, I think you're absolutely right. And I just looking.

course, early keeps going. Lawler swings at the next pitch, grounds at the third. Gilliam, who's left up with it, over to first in time. And there's one way now. Sam Esposito, who took over defensively in the fourth inning for Billy Goodman, a native of Chicago. Al Lopez, trying to get a little more punch in his batting order, starts Goodman. If he gets ahead, he puts Esposito in the right hand. Batter takes low outside for a ball. One ball, no strikes. Esposito appeared in 69 games this year, batted 167. Klipstein's pitch gets the outside corner of the fastball. Account is 1 and 1. One ball, one strike. Outfield shaded a little toward left. Kubstein working rapidly. Here's the pitch. And it's low outside, 2 and 1. One away in the last of the of the seventh inning. The 21 pitch. Swung on, fouled off, back to first out of play, up onto the pavilion roof. Got a kick out of seeing Red Faber and Ray Shaw as a battery. Throwing out the first pitch. Here's the delivery. Swung on, hit right back the box. Beautifully grabbed by Klipstein. The throw to first in time. One of those shots that most of the time go right through the middle. Johnny went down to the glove and spirited. And Esposito was retired. Now Al Smith, who took a third strike double to left and flied to center, appeared in the World Series of the Indians in 1954 and they lost four straight to the Giants. Hit.214 in that series. A clutch player. Klipstein's delivery over that outside corner for a strike. As the series develops, plays may not develop. But Smithy Smithy is the kind of a guy may throw the key, run out the plate or come up in the late innings and get the key base hit. He swings and loops one down the right field line and is in there for a base hit. He had Larker playing over in the right center and Smith rounds first and goes into second with the double. He sliced it along the right field

line

and gets himself a double. His second double of the ball game. He said three extra base hits now in World Series playhead of Homer in 1954. Jim Rivera fouled the first, grounded to second and flied to right. He's got quite a hitch in his swing. Flips down to the stretch and the pitch. Curveball line, foul down the right field line, parallel to the right field line, into the upper deck. One strike in the punnett clinching game for the White Sox. Smith and Rivera hit back to back homers to break a 22 tie and give the White Sox a 42 win over Cleveland that clinched the pennant. The 37 year old left hand batter takes a strike. Fastball in there just above the knees. He's quite a hustling ball player. Doesn't mind climbing walls or diving. Two men out. Smith on second and two strikes on Jim Rivera. Outfield shaded toward right. Johnny Klipstein ready. In comes the pitch. Fastball swung on, it missed. Strike three. Really powdered it by. No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on. And at the end of seven innings, the score is the White Sox 11, the Dodgers, nothing.

Two balls, one strike wins. Delivery swung on line between third and short. Short into left field for a base hit. Al Smith up for the ball, tossing it back into Louis Aparicio. Jim Gilliam holds up after the turn with a single to left. And now Charlie Neal, who's had 2 for 3. An infield hit in the first inning. Grounded to short in the third, single to left in the sixth. He has played great ball for the Dodgers, one of the finest feeling second basemen in the game. His timely hitting late in the season helped the Dodgers move into the pennant. Wind of the stretch checks Gilliam. Now the pitch outside. Gets away from Lawler but not far enough for any advance. Wind throws almost everything in the book, including a knuckleball. And he gets ahead of you, changes his speeds on all of his pitches and keeps that ball moving in, out, up, down and around. Right hander checks the runner. Here's the pitch to kneel low, outside, ball two. And now we're having some action in the White sox bullpen. At 39 years of age, early during the season, has sometimes begun to weaken in the late innings. Nelly Fox now trots in from second base to talk to him. And here is Al Lopez coming out of a White Sox dugout to talk to win. Jerry Staley is loosening up for the White Sox. And Jerry Staley's coming in. Apparently, Win either tired or may have sustained some type of injury, but you could see as he began to lose his control by all of a sudden his control was beautiful and he gets a hand. Now, if you leave, We shall make every effort, of course, to get some information from the White Sox dugout as to the exact reason for when leaving ahead 11 to nothing. There was no indication, in other words, of his being knocked out, though he'd given up the base hit and fell behind on Charlie Neal. During the course of the season, win appeared in 37 games, all of them in a starting role, and completed 14. So that that indicates, as we told you before, the freaking retire in the very late innings. Jerry Staley coming in. Staley appeared in 67 games for the White Sox this year, all in relief, had the magnificent earned run average of 2.17, and in the clincher against the Indians, the Indians in the last of the 9th, loaded the bases with one iron out and they brought Staley in to pitch to big power. One pitch he grounded to Aparicio, who stepped on second and threw to first for the double play that ended the game and brought the first American League pennant to the Chicago White Sox in 40. Staley came up with the Cardinals in the National League in later years, developed into quite a bullpen expert. He moved on to the Yankees and came onto the White Sox on waivers in 1956. He has pretty good knuckleball, but his prime pitch in a clutch is a fine sinker and has enabled him to save many decisions for other staff members. His most successful season from a one and loss standpoint was with the Cardinals in 1951. He chalked up 19 victories and 18 in 1953. We've had word from the White Sox dugout that early wins, right? Elk Bow began to stiffen up. And so Al Lopez, rather than risk, of course, any serious injury and with this big lead, removes him in favor of Jerry Staley. Early win, then went seven innings plus nobody out in the eighth allowing six hits, walked one, instructor out six. A2 nothing count now on charlie neal. Gilliam leading away from first. Staley, a right hander, delivers. It's in there for a strike. The next pitch. Swung on and grounded foul down the third baseline. 2 2. Should Neil walk, the walk would be charged to win with a count of two and nothing. Or two and one or three and one or three and nothing. That situation exists. Here's the pitch. Swung on, ground ball hit to Apio, over to Fox for one. Back to first. It's a double play. Boy, it was a close one at first base. Frank Bascoli of the National Indian up for the right hand. And that's been typical of Staley. Coming in with men on and throwing that sinker and getting the double play. Although Neal, with his speed, almost beat it. It was a very close play at first. Here's Wally Moon. Popped to short, had an infield hit and grounded to first. Left hand. Batter takes a strike. Nothing in one.

inning, Jerry Staley will be the first batter, followed by Louis Aparicio and Nelly Fox. The five runs batted in by Ted Klosewski ties a World Series record. Most runs batted in the game. Tony Lazzari for the Yankees in 1936 and Bill Dickey for the Yankees in 1936. Jerry Staley at bat. Johnny Klipstein's pitch, misses outside.

Ball one.
Color Commentator / Sports Analyst
Al Lopez, ever ready despite the score of a ball game, has a couple men loosening up. Here's the pitch and it's in there for a strike. One and one tomorrow. Johnny Padres, who won the big game for the Dodgers against the Yankees when they won the World Series few years back, will go against Bob Shaw now. The pitch. It's in there one and two. Jerry Staley at bat from Vancouver, Washington. Billy Pierce suggests loosening up and Barry Latman along with him. The 12 pitch to Staley swung on and fouled back out of play. It is speculation on our part, but we think Pierce is simply loosening up for a future start. There was some thought that he might pitch here tomorrow and not in the Coliseum because of the left field, the shortness of the left field fence there. Next pitch is a curveball over for call. Strike three. But on the other hand, Al Lopez figured he better go with a young in case the series goes six, seven games, who might come back. Because in a short series, you got to go with those fellows who can come back with short rest. And Pierce has been having some arm trouble this year, though on any given day, he's one of the best in the business. Louis Aparicio, nothing for four right hand hitter. Klippstein's pitch is over the outside corner for a called strike. Louis popped his shirt, short line to right, get to the box and fly to left. Gilliam shortened up to Third to protect against the bunning ability of this man. Aparicio swing sends a slow roller out to second. Charlie Neal up with it, flips on to Hodges and Aparicio is retired. Andy High in his scouting report said the one fellow have to keep off base to beat the White Sox is Aparicio. Well, they've kept him off base today, but the White Sox just turned the form sheet upside down with a power explosion. Here is Nelson Fox, who walked, double grounded to short, popped to short, swings and grounds one to second. Neal scoops it up, flips on to Hodges and that retires the side. No runs, no hits, no errors, no one left on.

Tomorrow's game from Chicago gets underway at 1:45pm on NBC and WGY, your exclusive world Series station. First half of the ninth inning, the White Sox 11, the Dodgers nothing. Back in 1934, Dizzy Dean shut out the Detroit Tigers in the World Series 1111 to nothing. And so far this ties then the World Series record for the largest shutout in Series play. Jerry Staley pitching to Don Demeter. Right hand batter takes it inside. Demeter had replaced Snyder. Last inning. Demeter, tall right hand hitter, batted.256 on the season. Jerry Staley's pitch is a breaking pitch outside the count. Two balls, no strikes. Demeter from Oklahoma City, 6 foot 480 pounder, 24 years old. The pitch, swung on and missed. Threw him a knuckleball in tight. Two and one. The 21 delivery, gets the outside corner. Breaking pitch. Two balls, two strikes, Norm Larker on deck and Gil Hodges to follow. First of the ninth. First game of the World Series. The veteran Jerry Staley delivers. Swung on and missed. Strike three. One down in the ninth. The seventh Dodger to go down on strikes. Win before he retired, had struck out six. Norm Locker flied to right, flied to center and struck out.

In fact, for those of you who are just on your way home or might have just gotten home or just had a chance to tune in, the White Sox got two in the first, seven in the third and two in the fourth. The one two pick swung on, looped over short into left center and it's in there for a base hit. Landis goes over, cuts it off nicely, whips a throwback.

To a single. Landis is capable of showing you some exciting defensive play in center because of his great speed. That's that's one of the reasons Cover a lot of ground out there. That makes a difference, of course, with teams that win a lot of one run ball games when you can hold a man to a single instead of a double or a double instead of a triple. The White Sox won 35 out of 51 run games this year and the Dodgers were very much the same kind of A team, winning 33 out of 55 one run games. Gil Hodges fouls the pitch off to the left of the plate. Strike one. Gill flied to left, single to center and hit to the box. Here is one of the nicest men it has ever been our pleasure to meet in baseball. Staley delivers to Gill Hodges Swings and grounds it by off the glove of Esposito.

He can't make a play.

It's a base hit. Move. Moving on to second is Norm Larker. Esposito made a fine play, even getting a glove on it. Ball spun away from him. Aparicio going the other way, was too far by him to even take the deflection. And Hodges is credited with a base hit. Runners on first and second.

One out.

And here's Johnny Roseboro. Popped to short, struck out and fouled out to first. One out in the ninth, two on. Jerry Staley delivers. Swung on and missed strike one. Outfield straight away. Staley's next pitch, outside ball one, one and one. If you go by precedent, you can dismiss this first game, assuming that the Dodgers are defeated.

Swung on and fouled off to the right of the plate. The St. Louis Cardinals won a playoff for the national league pundit in 1946 and went on to win the World Series. The Giants did the same in 1954. The Indians did the same in 1948. The 12 pitch. Swung on. There's a ground ball grabbed by Klisiewski. Throws down to Aparicio to force Hodges. And Big Clew took a base hit away from Johnny Roseboro as he broke to his right. Being a left handed thrower, reached out with the right hand, the gloved hand, and speared the ball when it appeared as if it would be a base hit to right. He threw on to Aparicio to force Hodges. Larka moving on to third.

And they did The Stoney Creek Mills, Pennsylvania, now resides in Manhattan Beach, California. He's had 33 World Series hits, swings and grounds it. Foul down the third base line. Two strikes. Clark on third, Rosebur on first, two outs in the ninth, 11 to nothing. Chicago. Staley's pitch to Perillo. Swung on and grounded foul down the first baseline. Stan Williams is loosening up for the Dodgers. The second game of the World Series at Comiskey park tomorrow, an open date Saturday, and the Series resumes in Los Angeles on Sunday. Larker leads off third, Roseboro off first and the pitch to Pirello is inside. 1 and 2. Outfield toward left and center and left. Straightaway right. Runners leading way now from first and third. Jerry Staley in relief of wind, delivers. And it's inside. Ball two. Two. Two balls, two strikes, two outs, two on first of the ninth. Staley to the stretch. Runners lead away from first and third. The pitch to Pirello. Swung on. It's a high fly ball out into left field. Al Smith moving under. It makes the catch. And the first game of the World Series is history. And the White Sox went it 11 to nothing. No runs, two hits, no errors, and two men left on. With Jerry Staley coming on to finish up for Early Win, relieving him in the eighth inning. When early wins right elbow stiffened up. And while we have learned to expect anything any day at any sports event, we were surprised today with a sudden power unleashed by the White Sox and the final score.

To the Giants in the 1954 classic. Roger Craig is the defeated pitcher today. He formerly had a victory and a loss in World Series competition against the Yankees. He was driven out in the third inning. The White Sox, you could see, were often running in the very first inning. A walk to Fox, a single and a single on a hit and run with Klasiewski. And a sacrifice lie by Shermlater gave them two. But they exploded in the third inning to score seven times. And in that inning, the Dodgers threw
