FIRST GAME HEROES! This pair of Orioles were flying high yesterday, as they led Baltimore to a 5-2 victory over L.A. Dodgers, in the first game of the World Series.

He gave up only one hit, in more than six innings and tied a world Series record that has stood since 1919, when he struck out six batters in succes- sion.

Wirephoto Drabowsky Brilliant LOS ANGELES (CP) -- Moe Drabowsky came a long way to win the opening game of the World Series for Baltimore Ori- oles. The Polish - born right-hander earned a bonus contract with Chicago Cubs after earning the reputation of a pitching-hitting sensation with Truro Bearcats of the Halifax and District League in 1955. He worked for three other He pitched 6 2-3 innings of re- liet-as the Orioles defeated Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2 Wednes- ane §239 595.8 it 'eee ay tha a3 : the ig in 17 games that sea- jbowsky compiled an 8-2 allowing 72 hits in 96 in- . He gave wp 27 runs, 26 of them earned, while striking out 85 for a 2144 earned run av- erage. It's just possible the Balti- more bullpen brigade has been the one factor measured incor- rectly by the experts who tabbed Los Angeles Dodgers 8-5 favorites to win their second straight World Series. Drabowsky, a part - time stock broker who considered re- tiring before the season, came = of the Baltimore bullpen in 538 ae z = : third inning Wednesday and} shackled the Dodgers while breaking one Series strikeout record and tying another. Ever since the Orioles have arrived in Los Angeles, man- ager Hank Bauer has been pelted with questions suggesting the Orioles couldn't possibly win| ue Series vecause of pitching. All pointed to the fact that the entire Orioles' staff had completed only 23 games--to 27 for Dodger left - hander Sandy Koufax. SHOWS STRENGTH As game No. 1 started, Bauer their bullpen crews in history down the right field line -- sending| every available pitcher to the bullpen with the exception of the starter, Dave McNally, and Jim Palmer, today's d Drabowsky came on with the bases loaded and one out, struck out Wes Parker, walked Jim Gilliam to force in a run and drafted me I might have re- tired," he said. "But when I had a chance to go with a club that could win the pennani, I hanged my mind." then got John Roseboro to foul out. That was it or the Dodgers. Drabowsky went on to strike out the next six batters in or- der and finished with 11 in all while allowing the Dodgers only a harmless seventh inning sin- gle by Willie Davis. The six straight strikeouts tied the Series record set by Hod Eller of Cincinnati Reds against Chicago White Sox in 1919 and the 11 was the most for a relief pitcher in Series his- tory, bettering the 10 by Jess Barnes of New York Giants -- ist New York Yankees in 1921. Drabowsky just did what the Baltimore report said, according to er Andy Et- chebarren. FOUND SECRET "That told us that a good fast ball can be thrown past the Dodgers," the rookie receiver said, 'Walt Alston, the Dodger man- ager didn't comment on that, but he did on Drabowsky. "You've got to give him credit," Alston said. "I re- member he was a_ strong thrower as a youngster when he was with the Chicago Cubs. Then he had a sore arm. But it looked like he threw as good as he ever did." Drabowsky agreed but admit- ted he was close to retiring when the Orioles drafted him from the Cardinals last winter. "T suppose if Baltimore hadn't| The Orioles started off against the Dodgers the same way they won the American League pen- nant--with Frank Robinson and Brooks Robinson hitting consec- utive first inning homers off Don Drysdale after Snyder drew a one-out walk. SINGLED IN RUN An inning later, Snyder sin- gled in a run after a waik to Etchebarren and a sacrifice. Ta the bottom half of the sec- ond, Jim Lefebvre hammered McNally for a leadoff homer, the lead to 4-1, Then, in the |, McNally walked three consecutive batters and Bauer signalled for Drabowsky.
