BOSTON, Sept. 27--Rifle-armed Bob Turley surrendered only two hits in seven innings and Harry Simpson drove in four runs today as the New York Yankees flexed their World Series muscles in a 10-2 victory over Boston...
...Second Game belonged to burly righthanded pitcher Bob Turley. Bullet Bob had come on in the late innings just the night before to hold off the Sox. Now he relieved Larsen in the sixth. His fast ball hopped over the corners, kept Chicago batters off balance and kept the Yankees teetering on top of a 5-to-4 lead...
...sixth game, back at Ebbets Field, Manager Walter Alston started his bullpen specialist, Clem Labine. Inning after scoreless inning, he matched the Yanks' bulky "Bullet Bob" Turley, an erratic speed merchant who seldom wins the way he ought to. Then, in the tenth, hefty Jackie Robinson briefly remembered the skill that once made him one of the roughest hitters in the league. He laced a rising liner over the head of aging Enos Slaughter in left field and drove in the only run of the game. It was a thin victory, but the Dodgers were still alive...
...Slaughter calmly hit him three for five, but Sal struck out ten Yanks, stranded another nine on the bases. Behind him, the Dodgers piled up nine hits (including homers by Robinson and Hodges), got rid of starting Pitcher Whitey Ford in the third inning, tormented Relievers Kucks, Morgan and Turley, and won easily...
...tense battle all the way between Labine's sharp breaking sinker and Turley's smoking fast ball until Robinson finally came through with the blow that assured Dodgers fans of a seventh game at Ebbets Field tomorrow...
