Beating the Yankees would give Spahn, 36, a special pleasure. For beating the New Yorkers would be beating Casey Stengel-the same Casey Stengel who was managing the Boston Braves 15 years ago and was scornfully unimpressed by Spahn's talents. Now the veteran pitcher has a great deal more to show his former manager. He still has his old speedball when he needs it, but he backs it up with a variety of curves and a brand-new screwball that he calls a sinker.

Their pitching staff was riddled with walking wounded: Little Bobby Shantz, who had carried the Yanks all summer, was nursing a sore pitching finger; Whitey Ford was worried with a shoulder that throbbed whenever he thought of throwing; World Series Hero Don Larsen was in disrepair. Their heaviest hitter, Center Fielder Mickey Mantle, was hobbled with shin splints...
