Reynolds vs. Erskine In First Series Game
New York — (U.P.)- It'll be Allie Reynolds against Carl Erskine when the Yankees and Dodgers square off in the first game of the World Series.
That was virtually certain today, although manager Casey Stengel of the world champions and Charley Dressen of the National League champions won't make the official announcements until next Tuesday. For whatever lingering doubts the managers might have had must have been dispelled by the key righthanded aces' performances yesterday and last night.
Reynolds, flashing the overpowering stuff that has made him the key Yankee pitcher in three previous series, mowed down the Athletics in one of his most impressive performances of the year in New York's 7-2
victory last night. The big fireballer, who has a 6-2 World Series record, struck out 11 A's and held the Nets to just two shots before retiring in favor of Bob Kuzava, who yielded Philadelphia's single runs in the fifth and ninth.
The Dodgers, scoring the winning run in a 5-4 victory on Junior Gilliam's eighth-inning triple, completed their home season with a 69-17 record—tying the league record for home triumphs in a season set by the 1942 Cardinals.
Erskine, Brooklyn's logical pick for the opener, was only scarcely less impressive as he struck out six Pirates in a three-inning tuneup. Carl allowed two hits in the first inning but fanned four straight Pirates during one stretch and Dressen announced he would start his 20-game winner in another short tune-up against the Phillies on Friday night.
In the American League, the Cleveland Indians took a three-game lead over the White Sox in their battle for second place when they beat Chicago. 8-3. Bob Feller went the distance to outpitch Billy Pierce and score his 10th victory of 1952
the distance to sulphur pit Billy Fife-Pierce
of 1953 and the 24th of his career.
Satchel Paige pitched one-hit hit for seven innings and got relief aid from Don Larsen in the last two as the St. Louis Brown's beat the Detroit Tigers, 7-3, in the other American League game.
Ed Mathews hit his 47th homer as Milwaukee beat St. Louis, 4-3, but the Cardinals bounced back to win the nightcap, 10-7; the Chicago Cubs downed the Cincinnati Redlegs, 4-1, after Fred Baczewski shut out his former teammates, 1-0, in
Ailing Dodgers Recovering Fast
Brooklyn—(U.P.)—Manager Chuck Dressen received encouraging news from Brooklyn's "accident ward" today and there were growing indications that all Dodger regulars would be ready to start against the Yankees in the World Series opener, Sept. 30.
Outfieldder Carl Furillo, the club's number one invalid, reported that his broken finger is "healing fine."
"I guess I could play before the World Series," declared Furillo, "but I don't want to take any chances. I'll be ready to play in the Series opener, though."
First baseman Gil Hodges, who has been on the sidelines with a rib injury, revealed that he is completely sound again and that he intends to play in the Dodgers' next game against the Phillies' Friday.
Catcher Roy Campanella showed that his bruised thumb isn't bothering him by collecting one hit in two official times at bat against the Pirates yesterday and handling 12 putouts. By doing so, he raised his season putout total to 790, erasing the former major league mark of 785 set in 1905 by catcher Ossie Schreckengone of the Athletics.
Second baseman Junior Gilliam showed up with an upset stomach yesterday but he was sufficiently improved by the eighth inning to double as a pinch hitter and score the winning run.
With Gilliam out, Billy Cox moved over to second yesterday and Jackie Robinson played shortstop for the first time in his career, handling five chances without a bobble.
their opener, and Curt Simmons' seven-hitter enabled the Philadelphia Phillies to down the New York Giants, 9-3, in N.L. night games.
