Raschi, Roe To Pitch Second World Series Game
New York, Oct. 6—(U.P.)-The Brooklyn Dodgers, down as they have been so often this season, called on skinny Preacher Roe today to get them back off the floor and on an even footing with the New York Yankees in the second game of the world series.
It was an assignment the left handed ace of the Dodgers has filled
It was an assignment the left na so well this season that, for the first time since he has led a world series team, manager Burt Shotton of the Dodgers went so far as to name a starting pitcher a day in advance.
Roe drew as his opponent Vic Roschi, a big right hander who won 21 games in the Yank's drive to the American league pennant. Roe has won 15 and lost six, while Roschi has lost 10.
Like Roe, Raschi, except for one spell, has been a Yankee stopper. But he saved his greatest victory until the last day of the season, beating the Boston Red Sox in the game which meant the pennant for the Yankees.
Manager Casey Stengel's men got off winging in the first game yesterday on Tommy Henrich's ninth inning home run and the two-hit pitching of Allie Reynolds.
That added up to a 1 to 0 Yank victory and a heart-breaking defeat for big Don Newcombe, the Dodger rookie hurling ace, who became the first negro pitcher ever to start a world series game. But despite that bitter defeat, the Dodgers looked to the future hopefully;
There was little second guessing on the opening game, but the Dodgers openly were critical of one call made by plate umpire Cal Hubbar of the American league.
It was the second pitch which Newcombe made to Henrick in the ninth innning. His first pitch was a ball and on one disputed that. But his second one was close and Hubbard called it a ball.
Behind on Henrich, Newcombe came down with a fast curve ball which was too fat and Henrich, an old pro at that sort of thing, blasted it into the right field stands for the ball game.
