...ninth. In the fourth game, he set down the White Sox without a hit in the eighth and ninth, was credited with the 5-4 win. By the sixth game Lawrence Sherry was so eager to pitch that he swaggered in from the bullpen in the fourth inning with unconcealed, cocky cheer. He shut out the White Sox the rest of the way, won the 9-3 game that gave the World Series to the Dodgers...

First Game. Opening the series in their own Comiskey Park behind burly, 39-year-old Pitcher Early Wynn (22-10), the no-hit White Sox suddenly turned robust sluggers while the Dodger defense fell apart in a horrendous, seven-run third inning. Centerfielder Duke Snider dropped one fly ball in a collision, later threw wildly to the infield. Trying to cut off the ball, First Baseman Gil Hodges slipped ignominiously and sat down hard on the infield grass, while Sox runners scampered around the bases. Scouting reports had assured Dodger pitchers that Chicago's muscleman First Baseman Ted Kluszewski...

But in the fifth, Neal grimly homered into the lower left-field stands for a run-the first time the Dodgers had scored in 14 innings. Suddenly...

...White Sox stout pitching and tight defense went for naught yesterday. The Dodgers threw away the script (or shouldn't that be mentioned with Chicago in the Series?) and bombed Early Wynn, Dick Donovan and Turk Lown for six runs in the second inning, which offset Kluszewski's third homer, in the bottom of the frame...

...White Sox. The Sox last won a flag 40 years ago. And they did it this season with the weakest bunch of hitters in the major leagues. Catcher Sherman Lollar, with 20 home runs, was their one and only slugger. Once the Chisox treated themselves to an 11-run inning with the benefit of just...
