Yanks Own Two-Up Margin As Teams Move to NY’s Stadium (Continued from Page 1) The Yanks had Roberts in a jam in the first but failed to score. They pushed over a run in the second on a walk to Gerry Goeeman, a single by Reynolds and an infield single to shortstop Granny Hamner by Gene Woodling. Woodling's hit drove in the run. And that was all the Yanks were to get until Casey Stengel's "big fellow" smashed a Roberts pitch into the seats leading off the tenth inning. The Phils shut out yesterday by Vic Raschi in the 1-0 opener, hadn't scored a series run in 15 innings until they finally moved Mike Goliat home in the fifth. It was their first series run, in fact since their last series appearance in 1915. Goliat singled on a bouncer toward second that Coleman had no license to stop. The Yank second baseman made a sensational play to knock down the ball but threw wildly to first with no chance to get the runner. Fine back-up work by Yogi Berra kept Goliat on first base. Trying to bunt him over, Roberts popped to Reynolds, but Eddie Waltkus moved Goliat all the way to third with a bad hop single over Coleman's head into short right field. The ball skidded off the edge of the infield grass and careened wildly over Coleman's head for a single. Ashburn tied it up with a fly to Gene Woodling so then that out. Coleman threw out Ennis.

"Don't get excited." "There is a place in a fellow like you." First Relieved With Toronto PHILADELPHIA (P) — Long after the 1950 World Series is forgotten they'll tell the story of Jim Konstanty. How Eddie Sawyer, a Johnny-come-lately to the major league scene, dared to start his relief pitcher against the brawny Yankees in the opening game of his first World Series. How he almost won his daring gamble—might have won it if Vic Raschi didn't pick the same cool October afternoon to pitch a 1-0 two-hit shutout. Why did Sawyer take this chance with his reputation at stake? It goes back in a spring day in 1948. Toronto was getting ready to open the International League season. Sawyer moved up from Utica NY. During the winter, had graduated into triple A. Konstanty was just another pitcher on the club. Just another pitcher who was getting a little old too. During spring training Konstanty watched Sawyer loss with the young pitchers—the whiz kids to be—the kids with the blazing fast ball. He felt left out. "Eddie," he asked. "Where do I fit in? I'm 30. Last winter you told me I would get a chance with the Phils. Then you changed your mind." "Everywhere I look ball clubs want young fellows with the high hard one. What happens to me?

Bienemann, who might have ended the list last season but being forced out at the half-yard mark with a broken leg, made his 16 successful grabs in first three games played by Drake. That total puts him two on Gordon Cooper of Denver. Bienemann got the jump on Coop when they hooked up in their respective season openers, catching passes to Cooper's four in head-on clash. In the punting department, the game currently is held by Milt Smith of the University of Utah. Bienemann is booting Letter than ever after a two-year leave as a Morrison missionary.

They are Alabama's Butch Ringer, with 46.5 on seven kicks, and Fordham's Jim Erickson, with 45 for five. Ron Harworth of the Detroit Lions excels through graduation; only seven monogram winners grace the 1930 squad. Phone: 218 ERMISCH "MY CLEANER" Branch: 350 W. Center Plant: 117 W. Center Anaheim Colonists Quite Unimpressed With Citrus Scoring Power Citrus high school is going to be mighty easy pickings—at least, that seems to be the general impression running rampant among the Colonists. As a whole, they seemed quite unimpressed with the report given them yesterday by William Hicks, the coach who scouted Citrus in its 33-6 loss to Downey last week. Citrus, it appears, was outplayed all right, but Downey also looks to have one of the most powerful teams in the near locale. Head Coach Clare Van Hoorebeke spent most of the afternoon setting up a Colonist defense to meet the T-formation that they will face this Friday night. And he also decided to concentrate on stopping the specialties of the various Citrus backs. Despite his warnings, there appeared to be a general mood of joylity among the Colonists during the workouts. The jayvees futilely attempted to run some of the Citrus plays, but it is highly doubtful if the varsity received any benefit from this. The jayvees were pretty ragged. About 80 per cent of their plays either ended in fumbles, poor pitchouts, jumped signals, or forgotten assignments. The remainder were a poor man's version of how Citrus does it. Anyhow, the varsity did get a couple of looks at how the Citrus offense works. And the implied opinion was that it was very silly even to consider these weak Citrus endeavors. “You guys win a game by 25-0,” Van Hoorebeke roared at them, “and right away you begin to believe that newspaper stuff.” Boudreau Rumored For Chisox Job By JOE REICHLER Philadelphia (PA)—Is Lou Boudreau, popular manager of the Cleveland Indians, Chicago-bound at last? The question, first broached a year ago when Bill Vecck came close to trading Boudreau to the White Sox, and revived again last June when Lou again was offered to the same club, may be answered within the next two weeks. The Sox will be without a manager after next week when the board of directors meet in Chicago and officially hand current skipper John (Red) Corriden his release. Sox officials are mum on the matter, but it was learned they already have decided to replace the 63-year-old Corriden, who took over the reins in mid-season. Sawyer Offered Jim His Chance Where am I going?" Sawyer, quietly efficient, calmed his fears. "Don't get excited," he said, "there is a place in baseball for a fellow like you." Nothing more happened. Sawyer never mentioned the conversation. Neither did Konstanty. He took his regular starting turn. But one day in May, Eddie turned to Jim and said, "will you go down there in the bullpen for an inning or two?" Konstanty reached for his glove and went. In July, Sawyer moved up to manage the Phils, saying nothing to bespectacled Jim. But his successor, Jack Sanford, told Konstanty "Sawyer is going to take care of you." After the 1948 season, Konstanty was called up to the parent club. Sawyer started using him on relief. He pitched in six games and won one. Next spring it looked like Konstanty had been forgotten. The Phils bought Ken Trinkle, a reliever, from the Giants during the winter. He was the "fair hairred boy" of the training camp. He got the writeups in the papers. But as Trinkle failed, Konstanty found Sawyer calling for him to "go down there for an inning or two." He was in 53 games in 1949, all on relief. Most of them were tight "win or lose" games with either ended in fumbles, poor pitchouts, jumped signals, or forgotten assignments. The remainder were a poor man's version of how Citrus does it. Anyhow, the varsity did get a couple of looks at how the Citrus offense works. And the implied opinion was that it was very silly even to consider these weak Citrus endeavors. "You guys win a game by 25-0," Van Hoorebeke roared at them, "and right away you begin to believe that newspaper stuff." Your Gazette correspondent, who was seated on the sidelines and heard this remark uttered several octaves above a whisper, quickly hid behind a tall blade of grass. the decision hanging in the balance. This year he pitched 74 games, breaking the modern major league record. Not once all season did Sawyer ask "are you tired Jim?" or "do you feel like working?" Konstanty knew what was needed. He was anxious to serve the only manager who ever gave him a break. "I'd do anything for Sawyer," said Konstanty, "I have confidence that if I should go out there and break my arm he wouldn't say 'we can't use you anymore.' I know I couldn't pitch like this for anybody else but Sawyer." That was why Sawyer knew what he was doing when he took the big chance and started Konstanty against the Yankees yesterday. He lost but it's a near-miracle that will live long in baseball history. CINA-CAR DRIVE-IN THEATRE 8012 Lincoln Ave. Dut Center, 5 M.I.
