Experts figure the Yanks have too much experience, deeper reserve strength and stronger pitching than the youthful Whiz Kids, Philly Manager Eddie Sawyer does not appear to be the least bit wor- ried about Yankee prowess. 'We w 't figured to have a . chance to beat Brooklyn for the pennant, were we?" he reminded. Great Hurling Duel ~ Rosy-cheeked Robin yesterday undoubtedly pitched the greatest game of his career, but he still got a great battle from 's Dos ) , If. Dick S8isler hadn't hit that homer with two on in the top of the tenth to snap a tie, the game might be going on yet. Oh The biow by Sisler, son of the im- mortal George, who acts as Brook- lyn's head scout, ended Brooklyn's 'eiracle" finish that for a time threaténed to throw the race into 8 last-day tie. It gave Roberts his 20th victory of the year after the Youngster had made five futile tries 6. Although Roberts yielded but five blows to 11 for Newcombe, he had to summon all his wile and cunn- ing to hold off a Brooklyn bases- loaded threat in the ninth that ap- peared destined to bring about the Phillies' six straight defeat. A crowd of 35,073, biggest of the year at Ebbets Field, went into hysterics as Cal Abrams led off the last of the ninth with a walk and took second on a single by Pee Wee Crowd Goes Wild That brought up Duke Snider, the best left-handed hitter on the club. With everyone expecting a bunt, Snider teed off and slashed le to centre. Abrams at- tempted score from second, but . 'Richie Asttirs made a sparkling i api ty of the ball and to the plate. The ball came in on a good hop right into Stan Lopata's hands Ped tagged out standing up, But Roberts was not out of the hole yet. There were still runners on second and third (Snider went to second on the throw) and only one out. Sawyer ordered Jackie Robinson purposely passed. That loaded the bases, ' Carl Furillo, swinging at the first pitch, raised a soft foul to firste baseman Eddie Walitkus. Gil Hod~es sent a long fly that went for the third out. Then it was the Phillie's pass Sawyer debated taking Roberts out for a pinch-hitter butt finally de- cided to let the pitcher hit for him- self. Roberts opened with a single to centre. Waitkus blooped an- other. Ashburn, attempting to sacrifice, bunted into a force play at third, That set the stage for Sisler's game- winning clout.

The National League lured 8,025,- 169 customers and the American 8,201,656 during the campaign which ended yesterday.

The hard-luck buy of speedboat racing has finally called quits. The 38-year-old native of Ingersoll, Ont, gave up the ghost Saturday night after his $100,000 craft balked his final bid for a world record. The 33-foot boat was taken from the water when three gears in her sDecially-designed gearbox broke uo, Wilson looked at her and said: "We're licked." Asked if he were determined to | retire now, he said: "Very definite- {ly--for all t! ie." Miss Canada IV has been a hex to her owners since she was launch- ed in June, 1940, At that time, she was probably the most ballyhooed boat in the world. Wilson was look- ing to her to capture the world's speedboat record as a climax to his 16 years in the game. Wilson had won, the Gold Cup {and the Silver Cup, but thé third, the biggest, trophy. ---the Harms- worth -- escaped his grasp when Miss Canada IV became tempera- mental both last year and this. He managed to establish a North Am- erican record of 138.648 miles an hour 'a year ago today, but this was later nullified when Slo-Mo-Shun IV took the world's record at Seat- tle last June with a 160.3235 mark. Harold Wilson and his father, E. A. Wilson, vent all out to make this boat the one to take the rec- ord. A top-flight Rolls Royce en- gine, the 2,500-horse power Grif- fon, was imported from England, as was a speclally-designed propel- i, which gave them a lot of trou- ble. What finally killed all hopes last | week-end was a special gearbox, made in Ingersoll. Three of the gears were a total of steel chips. Wilson said one one of the gears could have been re- placed, but the loss of three to- gether finished the boat's chances. The boat hit a reported 155 miles loss; the oil in the box was a mass | try World Series Facts' N' Figures New York, Oct. 2 (AP) --Here's the facts of the World Series be- tween New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phils, opening at Shibe Park, Wednesday.
