Yankees 5,Dodgers 3; Branca Blows In Fifth
New York—(UP)—The New York Yankees sent a refuge Creek Indian from Cleveland, Allie Reynolds, out after the second game of the World Series today, hoping to make it two straight over the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Reynolds, a fast balling right-hander who is rough when he has control and who has been most effective at Yankee stadium this season, was expected to face little Vie Lombardi $ \textcircled{*} $
Reynolds, a fast balling right-han and who has been most effective atpected to face little Vic Lombardi, the Dodge southpaw ace whom manager Burt Shotton called upon time after time this season to go after the games the Brooks needed most
Apparently convinced his young and inexperienced pitching staff is too jittery to bear the responsibility of an overnight assignment, Shotton followed his first game pattern and refused to come out definitely with his second game hurling nominee.
But it would surprise everyone. Pit Bucky Harris of the Yankees most of all, wasn't little Vic Holmes, his all-match break curve ball and his change of pace.
"You can bet all the tea in China it's going to be Lombardi, even if Shotton apparently is bent upon playing a waiting game." Harris said. So, it's going to be Allee and of course, Joe Page in the bull pen."
Reynolds won 19 games for the Yankees this season with 13 of his victories coming at the stadium the scene for Tuesday's record-breaking opening game which the Yankees won with a five-run fifth inning. 5 to 3.
Only twice did Reynolds leave the mound a defeated pitcher at the stadium, and Harris was counting on him to put the Yankees in a position where it would be going against the World Series scheme of things for 26 years for the Brooks to lose today's game and come back to win out. For no team since the Yankees of 1921 has won the first two games of the Series and then wound up on the short end.
Harris' gamble came in the fifth inning of the opener when it appeared that Ralph Branca, the Dodgers' 21-game winner, was well on the way to proving that Shotton's master-minding in refusing to reveal his starting pitcher might be a wise move. For Big Ralph with his fast ball singing and his curves breaking snarply, retired the first 12 men to face him only to blow sky high just when the fans who jammed the stadium to capacity were wondering if they were going to see something never accomplished before—a World Series no hitter.
But they didn't have to wander long for Joe DiMaggio, first up in that fifth when the Yankees were trailing 1 to 0, rapped a sharp grounder on which Pee Wee Reese made a spectacular stop, but could not recover his balance in time to get the blower to first base. The Yankees won. It went for a hit and seemed to upset Branca. He later confided that a no-hitter was on his mind and that when he lost it on that DiMaggio grounder, he couldn't seem to get back in the groove.
He walked George McQuinn, hi Billy Johnson to fill the bases, and then grooved a fast one which Linddell drove down the left field line for a double to score two runs and put the Yankees in the lead. After Branca walked Phil Rizzuto to fill the bases, he decided that it was time to make a daring move and lifted rookie Frank (Spec) Shea, who had yielded only two hits and was ahead, for pinch-hitter Bobby Brown.
Harris was the first to admit that if Brown had failed to come through that he would be open to criticism. But as it turned out, Brown didn't have much of a chance to do anything about it. For Branca threw him two wild ones before he was taken out and reliefer Hank Behrman gave him two more to force him around and leave the bases still filled. Then after George Stinwell hit into a force play at the plate, Tommy Henrich, with two strikes against him, rifled a single into left to score two more runs—and they turned out to be the winning margin.
The Yankees got only one more hit after that and it has been a long time in World Series history since a ball club has scored five runs and been credited with only four hits.
As for the Dodgers they got six, two off Shea in the five innings he
worked before being lifted for Brown, and four off Page, who wasn't too effective in his relief chores.
Today's crowd was expected to come close to matching Tuesday's—a record-breaking 73,365, which broke the old mark of 69,990 set at the stadium on Oct. 7, 1943, when the Yankees met and defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. The receipts for the 1947 opener also established that man Matt Hollins will be $325,828.70 against the previous high of $269,408 taken in at the stadium in another Yankee-Cardinal series — Oct. 4, 1942.
Kansas City, Mo. — (UP) — Iowa State stood high in the statistical columns this week, leading the Big Six in net yards gained with 590 for two games. Missouri trailed by a scant 18 digits, boasting 577 yards for the same number of tussles.
Scott A Top Ball Carrier
Abe Stuber's Cornhuskers have capitalized on the throwing prowess of Ran Norman, Iowa State quarterback, for 279 yards via the aerial route to keep up there in the yard gaining competition. Missouri, number two in the yards gained passing column, had only 98 yards to compare with the northern Big Six school's record.
But Faurot's Tigers were way out in front on the ground, marking up 479 net yards in two weeks. Oklahoma, with 202 yards in one game, came next in line. Iowa State totaled 311 yards on the ground.
Missouri's Bill Day, rapidly acquiring a reputation as the man with the educated toe around Mid-West gridirons, kept the Tigers out in front by five yards in punt averages — an impressive 45.4
The leading ball carriers after two weeks of play were, in 1-2-3 order Jack Mitchell, Oklahoma, and Tom Scott, Kansas.
On top in the passing department, with the Cornhusher lad 200 net yards in the lead, were Norman, Braznell, Missouri, and Wiegand, Nebraska. Norman's throwing arm put teammates Laun, Jensen and Weber far beyond competition in the leading pass receivers column.
Bill Day, Missouri, and Harold Bryan of Kansas State vied for kicking honors. Day averaged 46.1 yards in eight trys, with Bryan marking up 45.8 in 13 boots.

Black Horse Troop Reactivates In Chicago
Chicago — (UP) — The famous Chicago Black Horse Troop which fought with Patton's Third army in the engagements has been reactivated here.
St. Louis. —(UP)—The Yankees were 11-to-20 favorites to win the second game of the World Series today and 2-to-9 favorites to win the series in the line of betting Commissioner James J. Carroll.
Its colorful Coldstream Guards-style uniforms and black horses were discarded in 1941 when it became part of the 106th cavalry reconnaissance group and was mechanized. The troop was formed in 1929 as part of the 33rd Illinois Division of the National Guard.
A Yankee better on today's game must put up $20 in hopes of winning $11, and on the series, $9 to win $2.
A Dodger better can bet $2 against the Brook's $3 on today's game and $1 against $3.50 on the series.
Look Out For Tulane,LSU
Atlanta. Ga. — (UP) — Louisiana State and Tulane, nestled within 80 miles of one another in the bayou corner of the Southeastern conference, loomed today as the big powers in this country where the cotton grows high and the grid attendances higher.
That doesn't mean that you can concede either of them the championship. L.S.U. has had powerhouses for two years now, only to be toppled off somewhere along the murder-schedule line. Tulane still is supposed to be building under Henry Fnkra who is in his second season at New Orleans.
But the results of last week's games go a long way toward pointing the finger of glory at Tulane and L. S. U..
Tigers Won From Rice
The Tigers from Baton Rouge scored a 21 to 14 victory over Rice in their debut and the Owls were touted as the big boys in the wild-and-wooly Southwest. Tulane raced up from the underdogs at home, which still had the flinging fury of Harry Gilmer on its side, 21 to 20.
At the same time, Georgia, Cochampion with Tennessee last year, was being beaten 14 to 7 by North Carolina of the Southern conference.
Of course, that Georgia defeat has no disgrace even though it reversed the decision the Bulldogs scored over the Tar Heels in the Sugar Bowl last New Year's day. The Heels Changed.
They Have Charley
After all, Carolina still has Charley (Choo-Choo) Justice while Georgia obviously misses the talents of one Charles Trippi.
Harry Mehre's team, along with its bitter rival, Mississippi State, still rate as strong contenders in the conference.
This week's Tulane-Georgia Tech game will be one of the several show-down battles required in the league.
Tech roared to a 27-0 victory over Tennessee, the co-champ, last weekend. And that's the sort of victory which is ominous in a conference which seldom has less than three outstanding teams in competition.
Mississippi State also should be a team to reckon with this season. The celebrated Shorty McWilliams is once again in the lineup, and he is only one of a host of flashy backs who figure to give State a maximum of offense.
State is untested as yet, with only a win over Chattanooga as a means of basing opinions.
State Untested
Ole Miss, the other Mississippi school in the conference, holds a victory over the up-and-coming Kentucky as part of its bid for the consideration. It's a passing combination that makes the Johnny Rebs particularly dangerous—Chuck Conerly pitching and Barney Poole catching. Kentucky was bounced out of the title picture by the Ole Miss defeat.

Russia's Oak Ridge Compares With Ours
New York_(UP) — One hundred new industrial cities and an atomic energy development comparable to America's Oak Ridge are being built up in Russia today with so little fanfare that they are as unknown to most Russians as they are to the outside world, according to an article in the United Nations World published today.
Ellsworth Lester Raymond, author of the article, was former chief of the U.S. Army's Russian Economic section. The facts in his article, Raymond said, were based entirely on original Soviet sources unavailable to most technicians and were published for the first time in his article.
Raymond said most of the 100 cities have been built so fast they have as yet no names but are known collectively to Soviet planners as "Bezimyanka" or "nameless city." Many of them still are only clusters of hastily built huts around huge steel plants or hydro-electric works.
