Next day the Dodgers fell apart. Having exhausted his slim staff of reliable starting pitchers, Manager Burt Shotton called on Don Newcombe again after only two days' rest; the Yanks bombarded him and Reliever Joe Hatten to win 6 to 4. On Sunday, even virus-ridden Joe DiMaggio came to life with his first home run-and second hit-of the Series. The Yankees slugged their way through six Dodger pitchers to a 10-to-6 victory and their twelfth World Series crown. Said Yankee Manager Casey Stengel: "We won from the bullpen.

After one set of plays, Lowenstein punted from his own 22--the slim sophomore was kicking because both Charley Roche and Carl Bottenfield had been cocked out of the game in the first six minutes--and Army's Hal Shultz ran it to the Harvard 45. Seven plays later the swiftly-moving Cadets had scored again; this time a fake-pass-and-run by Galiffa (good for 20 yards) and two runs by Jim Cain (8 and 9 yards, the latter to score) did the damage.

Carey moved into the convention hall with a slate of right-wing candidates and a do-or-die campaign to unseat the Reds and bring U.E. back into the C.I.O. parlor. But, although he had collected the biggest bloc of votes since the Communists bounced him out of the U.E. presidency eight years ago, Jim Carey's words were still louder than his deeds. With mounting rage he stormed against the well-laid plans of the left-winger's President Albert...
