Gil Hodges aids
in victory
NEW YORK (Jf>) The Brook
lyn Dodgers finally won their
first World Championship to
day iby whipping the New York
Yankees 2-0, in the deciding
(game of the classic 'behind the
iron-nerved pitching of young
Johnny Podres and the clutch
hitting of Gil Hodges.
Hodges drove in runs in the
fourth and sixth innings while
the 23-year-old Podres. pitch
ing out of one hole after ano
ther, came through magnifi
ciently in the clutch to win his
second game of the series with
an eight hitter.
A spectacular one-handed
catch by Sandy Amores in the
sixth inning with two Yanks
on base and none out was ano
ther decisive factor.
Thus the Dodgers captured
their first championship on
their eighth attempt and their
sixth try against the Yankees.
It was the Yankees’ first defeat
in the series since 1942 .when
the St. Louis Cardinals accom
plished the feat. It also was the
first series loss for Casey Setn-1
gel ince he took over the Yan
kee helm in 1949 and won five
straight world series and six
pennants.

• Apparently everyone was
“tickled to death” that the
Bums finally won the Series.
Even those who played percen
tages and bet on the Yanks,
were just as glad as those who
had their money riding on the
Dodgers.

The Dodgers also became the
first team ever to drop the
first two games and then rally
to win the series in seven gafes
The Dodgersstruck first ag
ainst lefty Tommy 'Byrne, who
had whipped them in the 2nd
game with a five-hitter, in the
fourth inning. Hoy Campanella
the heavy-hitting Dodger cat
cher who had been hitless in
12 previous trips to the plate
at the stadium, doubled to left.
Campy went to third on Carl
Furillo’s roller to short and
came charging home on Hod
ges’ line single to left.
In the sixth, the Dodgers
loaded the sacks on Byrne, who
then was replaced by Bob Grim
a Brooklyn resident. Hodges
Hied deep to Bob Cerv in cen

That was it, although the
Yanks threatened constantly as
tension mounted and pulses
pounded in the super-charged
atmosphere.

pecially, it looked like the
Yanks were going to break the
spell of the cool lefthander
from Witheribee, N. Y. •
Billy Martin walked on four
pitches and Clem Lalbine, ace
of the Dodger bull pen corps,
started to warm up. Gil McDou
gald laid down a bunt inside
the third base line and beat it
out for a hit.
Dangerous Yogi Berra, who
safely hit in every game of the
classic, then smashed the ball
to left. Sandy Amoros, who
h<ad just gotten into the game
in left field, raced to the left
field corner and made a sensa
tional glove-handed catch that
brought a tremendous roar
from the 62,465 thrilled fans.
Without la wasted motion,
Sandy tossed the ball to Reese
who relayed it to Hodges to
double up McDougald and
break the back of the Yanks’
threat.
