Sports Parade By OSCAR FRALEY NEW YORK (UP)—The New York Yankees owned their record fifth straight world championship today and according to little Phil Rizuto—"we had it all the way." The little man they call the sparkplug of the Yankees wiped the shaving lather off his face in the quieting locker room last night after Billy Martin's dramatic series-clinching hit and looked back calmly over the whole season. "I thought all along we'd win the series," he grinned. "We had more confidence that we would do that than we had that we would win the pennant." "But we had 'em both all the way," he added. Never Cocky The "scooter" wasn't being pompous in victory. "Don't get the idea we were cocky about it," he said. "We just had a good, solid feeling that, we were going to make it, both the pennant and the series. This has been that kind of a ball club. It knows it has to win one, and it goes out and does it." But once the pennant was wrapped up, Rizuto admitted, the Yankees had no qualms about beating Brooklyn in the series. There were some people who called this the greatest Brooklyn club in their history, said little Phil. "I don't believe it was. Their team last year in my mind was every bit as good as this one. Lost Strength "It sort of felt that they gained pitching when they got Russ Meyer this season, but they lost a lot of power, too, when they let go of Andy Parko. As it turned out, they sure could have used him quite a number of times." “What Do You Do To Beat the Yanks?”, Reese By JOHN GRIFFIN NEW YORK (UP) — Pee Wee Reese looking every bit as woebegone as he felt, summed up the bitterness of the dejected Dodgers in one despairing question—what do you have to do to beat the Yankees? "I don't know what the answer is," the Dodger captain said, answering his own question in a voice that echoed hollowly with futility. "I've been trying to find it for 12 years now. "Wait 'til next year?" said Reese, quoting the old Dodger rallying cry. "Who knows? Maybe I won't even be here next year. Anything can happen in this racket, you know." By anything, Pee Wee apparently meant anything but a Dodger triumph over the lordly Yankees in the World Series. Reese has been a member of all five Dodger teams that have clashed with the Yankees in the fall classic and lost everytime, 1941, 1947, 1949, 1952, and now 1953. "Let's face it," said the shortstop. "We just didn't have enough." That was a strange but true summary of a team that had been called the "greatest Dodger team in history" as it clinched the National League pennant at the earliest date in league history, set a new team record for victories in a year, and smashed records almost every day as it collected the second largest season homer total in baseball history. There were some people who called this the greatest Brooklyn club in their history, said little Phil. "I don't believe it was. Their team last year in my mind was every bit as good as this one. Lost Strength "I sort of felt that they gained pitching when they got Russ Meyer this season, but they lost a lot of power, too, when they let go of Andy Pafko. As it turned out, they sure could have used him quite a number of times." There have been insinuations from time to time that Rizzuto was at the end of the trail, but the "mighty mouse" of the Yankees shrugs off those stories. "I had my troubles this year," he acknowledged, "but I feel fine now, aside from a headache I got when one of the guys belled me over the head when Martin got that last hit. I don't see any reason why I should worry about being at the end of the road." "After all," the shortstop contended with a chuckle, "I don't see why I shouldn't stick around—and help us make it six in a row!" Derr Announces New Plunge, Gym Schedule Don Derr, City recreation director, announced yesterday that the high school plunge will be open and staffed with lifeguards on Monday and Thursday nights only.

Fabulous Yanks Extend Reign to Five Long Years BY LEO H. PETERSEN NEW YORK (UP)—The fabulous New York Yankees, their reign extended to an unprecedented five straight years, planned today to strengthen an aging pitching staff which seemed to offer their frustrated opponents their only hope of ending the greatest success story in baseball history. General Manager George Wels hinted that the Yankees already were negotiating to acquire a star pitcher when he singled out the pitching corps as "our No. 1 problem for 1954." "We have a good young team that could go on to win a sixth straight pennant next season," Wels said. "Throughout the winter, our basic aim must be, however, to soldify our pitching." Watching New Talent Wells gave no indication of this pitcher that the Yankees might be seeking but it was believed their first choice would be Mike Garcia, powerful righthander of the Cleveland Indians. Others the Yankees might be dickering for included 22-game winner Bob Porterfield of the Washington Senators, rookie Bob Turley of the St. Louis Browns and either Bobby Shantz or Harry Byrd of the Philadelphia Athletics. For the present, however, manager Casey Stengel and his players exulted in their astounding string of successes, a record which not even the fabulous Yankees of the Babe Ruth era, John McGraw's greatest New York Giant teams of Connie Mack's finest Athletic teams could match.

Baseball experts may contend that these Yankees are not the greatest team in baseball history, but the little agate line in the record book speaks for itself. There were heroes galore in the Yankee camp, beginning, of course with Stengel, who for years was regarded in baseball circles as a "humorous fellow," but a second-division manager." No man in the slur attached to his name in more convincing fashion. Stengel, of course, will be back next season in an attempt to write still another record in the books. He is working on the second year of a two-year contract which calls for $100,000 a year, the highest salary ever paid a manager. Results Are the Proof of Newspaper Circulation.

LOS ANGELES STREET SPORTS HAL THOMAS, EDITOR Billy the Kid Proves Ole' Case Correct Again Editor's note: Billy Martin's ninth inning single drove in the run that gave the Yankees their fifth straight world championship yesterday. By BILLY MARTIN As Told to the United Press NEW YORK (UP)—The ball I hit in the ninth inning went out into center field, they tell me, but I'll always believe it rolled into the promised land. When I crossed first base and realized that we had won, a thousand sensations seemed to pass through my body all at once. It was just like stepping under a needle shower on a hot day. "You did it, kid!" That's what I kept telling myself over and over again. But I just couldn't believe it. It seemed to me like it was happening to somebody else, not me. Now I know how Bobby Thomson of the Giants felt when he hit that pennant-winning homer against Brooklyn in 1951. He said he didn't run around the bases that day, but that he rode around them on a cloud. Believe me, the cloud I was on after that hit was higher than Thomson's. When I came up to face Clem Labine in the ninth I thought to myself how nice it would be if I could come through with a hit. I saw Hank Bauer dancing off second base and I figured how great it would be if I could wind up the year with just one more R.B.I. Labine came in with a fast ball and I followed it from the moment it left his hand. When I hit the ball, I wasn't sure it would go COMBAT—Yanks' Bill Martin, the ball still clutched in his outstretched right hand, falls around without throwing to first after tagging Peewee Reese of the Dodgers in the first in the sixth World Series game at Yankee Stadium, New York. Martin, fielding Jackie Robbins, tangled with Reese and was unable to throw to Joe Collins for the double play, charged interference by the base runner. The Yanks won, 4-3, and swept to an unprecedented night world championship. Oous Yanks had Reign to Long Years REO H.

Record History With yesterday's dramatic graph over the Brooklyn Yankees wrote a new "Bruins Biggest Worry-Ameche", Quoth Sanders LOS ANGELES (UP)—Coach Henry (Red) Sanders says UCLA's biggest worry Friday night will be trying to stop Wisconsin's fullback Alan Ameche. With Ameche rolling better than ever, Sanders thinks he might have to assign two men to the job. "Ameche is the kind of player that only has to have the 'ball handed to him and he beats you,' he told the Southern California Football Writers' meeting yesterday." I consider him the strongest runner in college football today." No Moomaw "I haven't got Donn Moomaw this year," Sanders said, recalling that last year, when UCLA beat the Badgers, he assigned the All-American to do nothing but stop Ameche. At the same time, Sanders praised Oregon which UCLA beat 12 to 0 Saturday. "I've never seen the T-formation operated better in college than Oregon quarterback Georg Shaw worked it and I include Don Henrich and Dale Samuels when I think back over the T-formation quarterbacks UCLA has met," he said. Seek Revenge Meanwhile, Wisconsin advance man Art Lents admitted the Badgers will be out for revenge after suffering defeat by both UCLA in regular season play and Southern California in the Rose Bowl. Southern California Coach Jess Hill praised Indiana's team which the Trojans defeated last Friday. "Indiana fielded a good team even though we beat them, and they are going to give teams plenty of trouble the rest of the year," he said. UCLA Leads PCC Both on Offense And Defense LOS ANGELES—UCLA's sharp-blocking running attack is outdistancing its eight Pacific Coast Conference foes, while Washington and Washington State are struggling for the passing supremacy, statistics from the POC Commissioner's office showed today. Red Sanders' Bruins have piled up an average of 265.3 yards per game in their first three outings for a big bulge over Southern California, which has averaged 215.7, and Oregon, 182.7. Washington has netted 157.7 yards a game in the air for a narrow lead over Washington State which has 152.3. Calington State which has 152.3. California is third, 131. Four teams are over the 300-yard mark in total offense with Southern Cal leading the pack. The Trojans have gained 105.3 yards passing in addition to their solid running game, for 321 yards. Washington has 316.7; UCLA, 311.0 and California, 301.3. UCLA's defense also ranks at the top. The Bruins have given up but 172 yards a contest. The Trojans have gained 105.3 yards passing in addition to their solid running game, for 321 yards. Washington has 316.7; UCLA, 311.0 and California, 301.3. The Trojans are second in rushing defense, 123 yards, and Cal, third, 169. Oregon has allowed the fewest yards in the air, 55, followed by the Bruins, and then Stanford, 80.3. California has the top marks in kick returns with an 18 yard average on punt reunks and 24.8 on kickoffs. Washington leads in interceptions with eight for 60 yards while UCLA has seven. UCLA has the best punting game with a 45.2 average, trailed by California that day, but that he rode around them on a cloud. Believe me, the cloud I was on after that hit was higher than Thomson's. When I came up to face Clem Labine in the ninth I thought to myself how nice it would be if I could come through with a hit. I saw Hank Bawer dancing off second base and I figured how great it would be if I could wind up the year with just one more R.B.I. Labine came in with a fast ball and I followed it from the moment it left his hand. When I hit the ball, I wasn't sure it would go through the box but I got a glimpse of it as I started down the baseline and I think I said, "hot dog!" Now I'm just going some place quiet and relax for a long time. Any minute, I expect someone to jab me in the ribs and say: "Hey, Martin, wake up! You're dreaming!"

BULLETIN — Kuenn, Gilliam Named Top Major Rookies of Year Harvey Kuenn, shortstop of the Tigers, and James (Junior) Gillam, second baseman of the Dodgers, were named the Rookies of the Year in the American and National Leagues, respectively in the eighth annual selections by The Sporting News, national baseball weekly, following a canvass of sports writers, players and umpires. Publisher J. G. Taylor Spink, in making the awards, established a clear-cut definition for a major league rookie as a player who has not had more than 45 days of service in the big leagues, regardless of the number of games played. Kuenn, who was signed out of the University of Wisconsin by Detroit for a handsome bonus, spread-eagled the American League field. He rolled up 194 votes out of a possible 217, with only three other players receiving consideration. Tom Umphlett, Red Sox outfielder, was second with 17. Billy Hunter, Browns' short-temmate, Pitcher Don Larsen, two. Gilliam, in the senior circuit balloting for The Sporting News award, also had a decisive margin, 116 votes to 53 for his nearest competitor, Harvey Haddix, southpaw of the Cardinals. Another Redbird, Outfielder Rip Repulski, garnered 11 votes and a third, Third Baseman Ray Jablonski, had eight. The division of opinion about the Cardinals' outstanding rookie was a factor in making Guenn's triumph so clear cut. Others who collected votes in the National League were BILLY MARTIN and BILLY MARTIN to the United Press.
