  The Boston Braves faced the Brooklyn Dodgers at Ebbets Field for a Saturday afternoon game on May 13, 1950.
• 0:14
  The Braves were managed by Billy Southworth and were trying to rebound after a disappointing below 500 season in 1949 that had followed their trip to the World Series in 1948.
• 0:24
  The Dodgers were managed by Bert Schotton and were coming off a loss to the Yankees in the 1949 World Series during Schotton's first year as skipper.
• 0:31
  Things were changing in the Brooklyn front office, however. By the end of 1950, Walter O'Malley would own the majority share of the Dodgers and force General Manager Branch Rickey out of Brooklyn entirely.
• 0:41
  This audio recording is from the Brooklyn Radio broadcast featuring announcers Red Barber and Connie Desmond.
• 0:47
  Hi folks. Join us now for another Brooklyn ball game here at Ebbets Field brought to you by your favorite Post Serials and their terrific new teammate, Post Sugarcrisp.
• 0:59
  Yes sir, Post is right back to bring you the Dodgers again as they take on the Boston Braves in the first of a three game series here at Ebbets Field, Brooklyn, USA.
• 1:10
  This is the old redhead, Red Barber, saying a hi hello to you and Connie Desmond will be along here in a few minutes between the two of us while we'll send you to play by play.
• 1:19
  And your seat right spang behind home plate is reserved thanks to your loyalty to Post Serials and to your all-out cheers for a sensational new Post Sugarcrisp.
• 1:30
  So with Post as our host, let's see what's going on in the docket. Oh man, it couldn't be a nicer afternoon.
• 1:38
  Red goodness, this is the one we've been waiting for. This is it. This makes you feel like it's spring and baseball and like there's no more measles and free tickets to the circus.
• 1:51
  Anyhow, we'll have a repetition from a fine pitching struggle that took place for its first copy up at Boston earlier this year.
• 2:00
  Joe Hatton, left-hander for the Dodgers and Byrne Bigford, right-hander for the Braves. They met at Boston and Hatton pitched a two-hit shutout to beat Bigford and the Braves.
• 2:11
  And thereby Mr. Hatton earned himself the award which comes to the fellows who deliver shutouts, the same as those who hit home runs. A case of Post Sugarcrisp.
• 2:20
  All right, let's go with the batting orders. Oh, the sun shines bright in Kentucky and right here in Brooklyn too. It's a lovely afternoon for the Braves who have not won a game in the two that played with Brooklyn this year.
• 2:35
  Jeff Rowe is leading off in center field. Sam Jeff Rowe. Earl Torgerson is hitting second at first base. Bobby Elliott, the big third baseman, bats third.
• 2:50
  And Gordon, the ex-giant, a Brooklyn boy who lives in a couple of blocks right out back of right field here at Epitts Field. And he's wrecked a vengeance on the Dodgers. Gordon in left field for the Braves. The umpire is now walking out, three of them.
• 3:05
  Another ex-giant isn't right. Walker Cooper, who was just recently traded, you'll recall, from the Cincinnati Ball Club. Cooper catching. Sisti at second base, S-I-S-T-I, Sibi Sisti. Buddy Carr, who came in at three, at four for two deal with the Giants.
• 3:22
  Carr is short and Bickford, who hasn't won and lost three times, is on the mound. Lifetime, he's beaten the Dodgers three times, lost to them once. Batting order for the Braves as the meeting at home plate takes place now between Captain Pee-wee Reese of the Dodgers, the three umpires, and Billy Southworth of Boston.
• 3:40
  Reese is leading off for Brooklyn, playing short of course. George Schuber is in left field. Duke Snatter in center. Jackie Robinson at second base, hitting fourth.
• 3:55
  Bob Perellaw, the running rifle, and right batting fifth. Big-Gil Hodges with those meat hooks for hands at first base. Billy Cox at third. Bruce Edwards is catching to give Campanella a little more rest there with that torn muscle in his leg.
• 4:12
  And the pitcher is Joe Hatton. The umpire is Larry Gets, back of the plate, falling balls from strikes. Two associates on the bases will be Lou Jordan, stationed at first, Frank Dastoli at third. That's the original station before you have any base run.
• 4:28
  That's where the base umpire's shift, depending and reflecting upon how many rain you've got on and when you've got it.
• 4:35
  Now we were just giving you the book and batting order a moment ago. Talking about the Dodgers, well you ask, and they'll tell you that it's good to be champs, but that it's better to stay champs.
• 4:46
  And because they want to keep that kind of flying right here at Everett Steel, they're mighty careful about physical condition. Ask an expert like Jake Pitler.
• 4:56
  Oh, sugar for Jake, the Dodgers pepper at first base coach. What that involves, and he'll tell you, friend, you'll never get the first base to talk to me in any conditioning program unless you start with the right kind of meal.
• 5:11
  Jake got a point there for every one of us.
• 5:15
  Remember friends, you just aren't eating the right kind of meals unless you start with a proper breakfast. One that includes fruit, bread and butter, beverage, and cereal.
• 5:27
  That's what you should have to get a bright start every new day. When you're choosing that cereal for your breakfast, you make that cereal a nourishing post cereal.
• 5:38
  So do yourself a favor here, eat a butter breakfast every live long morning with your favorite post cereal included.
• 5:49
  Discussion going on at home plate, going over the ground rules. Whenever you have the first game of a series in a ballpark, and especially if teams have not been in the park in some time, the Braves haven't been here since last year,
• 6:03
  by then you have to go over the ground rules. For example, the umpires and the two team representatives must be in thorough agreement as to whether a ball is in play at this particular point of real estate, and whether it is out of play there.
• 6:18
  What about a long ball here? What about a pitch ball there? What about a ball that gets up against the bench out there in the bullpen? What about a ball by the exit gate, right center field?
• 6:30
  What about a ball that may get down in that queer little corner in left field where you have an angle of six that jumps right down?
• 6:38
  What about the screen here that's 20 feet high on top of this 20 foot concrete wall? Suppose you hit a ball through there.
• 6:44
  I suppose a ball bounces back to the scoreboard and comes out on the playing field. Those are the things that they discuss. Maybe you're walking around, what do those guys do when they get up there and talk?
• 6:53
  Ask each other where to have done it? No, it isn't that at all. It's just the business of a thorough understanding, and you can never go wrong if you've got a thorough understanding beforehand.
• 7:03
  Some of the bitter arguments that come up in baseball are on situations that come up that were not canvassed in the pregame discussion and are not covered by the ground rules.
• 7:13
  And as far as ground rules, Breach Park are concerned, each manager makes out the ground rules for his own park. In other words, it is the job of the Boston Braves to understand what the ground rules are as set up by the Dodgers here at Ebbets Field.
• 7:31
  When Brooklyn goes to Boston, they then have to understand what are the ground rules that the Braves have undertaken to put the ball park.
• 7:39
  Now, first base on fire, Jordan walking down the line toward his second. Big Frank that's calling. Going down toward third, Billy Southworth, who's his own third base coach.
• 7:49
  Going down there and in just a second, the Brooklyn Cubs will go out and take the field and we'll be off.
• 7:56
  It's always news about anything in Brooklyn, especially the Dodgers. A ball game is always news. I don't think it's news that we've got to find crowds before they come here.
• 8:08
  I mean, however, it is news and it's wonderful news. This one.
• 8:16
  Why this is the afternoon.
• 8:30
  Brooklyn opening up its first home stand. Tomorrow is a single game at two o'clock. Then Monday night, the Braves here tonight.
• 8:38
  Then the Western clubs come in left by the Cardinals who will be here Tuesdays, Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon and Thursday will be ladies day.
• 8:46
  Never a dull day for the Dodgers and certainly never on ladies day.
• 8:49
  Pittsburgh is in for a night game Friday next week, Saturday game a week from today and then next Sunday, May 21, it is Cincinnati remaining for Monday night, May 22.
• 9:00
  Then the Cubs, the 23rd, 24th, 25th and on the 24th a night game. Now the Star Spangled Banner.
• 9:23
  A
• 9:45
  Oh
• 10:15
  Oh
• 10:32
  The status building is just played and song the national anthem which is a customer
• 10:39
  Every ball game is played not just special occasions
• 10:43
  The Dodgers are a field in their white home suits
• 10:47
  in the light blue which is called Brooklyn blue
• 10:51
  Joe Hatton on the mound won a game which was a shutout to his affair at Boston's expensive of a
• 10:58
  Hatton has been uniformly successful since he got into the league against Boston
• 11:02
  He's beaten him ten times and he's got four reversals
• 11:05
  Bruce Edwards catching, Hatton at first base
• 11:08
  Jackie Robinson now mostly picks the stars at second
• 11:12
  By the way I haven't seen the picture
• 11:15
  But my wife got to see it at the premiere which was held in New York last week while the Dodgers were still out on the road
• 11:22
  And she told me what I've heard from so many other people
• 11:26
  That it's a very excellent picture and that Robinson is fine
• 11:30
  Plays his role extremely well on the plate
• 11:33
  Robinson is second, Reese is short, Billy Cox is at third
• 11:37
  The rookie Bobby Morgan is being arrested on the bench a little bit hoping that'll perk him up
• 11:41
  Out in left field is George Schuber
• 11:44
  Center fielder is Duke Snyder
• 11:47
  Right fielder Pirello
• 11:49
  Sam Jutthorpe is the most hits in the league
• 11:53
  32 Obin, leading the 352ers up
• 11:56
  Outfield to the left, curveball is in
• 11:59
  Also that was mid-faceted, just ball wide
• 12:03
  Ball one, no strikes
• 12:06
  The outfield is around toward left
• 12:08
  The wind is blowing from right to left
• 12:11
  First base to third
• 12:13
  The tend to happen deals, fastball swung on, hit down to third, Cox is up with it
• 12:17
  The ball is over the face and Jutthorpe is out for three running spots
• 12:21
  So Sam Jutthorpe, the lanky speedster
• 12:25
  Throwing out third to third, one up and one ball
• 12:29
  Just to start a thing, that was the first batter, naturally no score
• 12:33
  And here is Earl Torgerson
• 12:36
  The tall, lanky, almost draw-bound, left hand hitting first baseman
• 12:40
  Wears glasses, outfield back into right, he pulls
• 12:44
  Earl hitting 289
• 12:46
  The tend to happen pitches, a slow curve, over for Carl Schreiber
• 12:50
  Johnny Cooney, slender veteran, is coaching that first base for the Braves
• 12:55
  The southwards, facing along like a restless cat in a new house, coaching at third
• 13:00
  Throw, slow curve, low and away, left hand pitcher
• 13:04
  The tend hitter, one and one
• 13:09
  Not a cloud in the sky, air is soft
• 13:13
  Just sort of see the leaves and the birds just popping out of the trees
• 13:18
  One and one pitch, swung on, a ground ball down to second, Robinson up
• 13:22
  Fires to first and Torgerson's up
• 13:26
  Two up and three go
• 13:29
  The Dodgers, if they can win today
• 13:32
  And if the Phillies get beat, both of them can go on to first place, so they should see what this means
• 13:37
  If you look at your national standings, you'll find out that you've got 16 with a bunch
• 13:41
  All of them are then breathing distance to first place, which makes a very tight race
• 13:46
  Bob Elliott, big, blonde, right hand hitting third baseman, he can blast that ball
• 13:51
  Hit there in the fall, wear out into left field
• 13:54
  Also the wind is blowing into left
• 13:56
  Outfield's going drastically that way, the infield back
• 13:59
  Now he's hitting 244, swings in, let's see if he can blow out that fair ball
• 14:04
  Back one
• 14:12
  It is better than 19 runs, he leaves the ball from that department
• 14:17
  Go, swung on, back ball, out to third
• 14:20
  Two
• 14:28
  Coach Sturrios, mighty happy to be sending you this ball game from Brooklyn
• 14:32
  Sending it to you wherever you're listening from coast to coast
• 14:37
  No balls, two strikes
• 14:42
  Elliott dug in, two out, nobody on, pitch, curve into the dirt in front of the plate
• 14:47
  Oh, hadn't tried to put a little too much on that, snap it off
• 14:51
  He's also trying to pitch it low and make Buston Bogg go after a bad ball
• 15:01
  Fine crowd here at Brooklyn, one or two pitch, swung on, a line drive hit through left field to a base hop
• 15:07
  Elliott on, ball kept by left field to Schumacher, going into second
• 15:11
  First second by Robinson and it's the first pitch of the game, the first runner
• 15:17
  Now the Buston boys, Sid Gordon, he's up, right man hitter
• 15:23
  He's always hit well against Brooklyn, fighting a 262
• 15:28
  He leaves the brave in the matter of home runs, he's got seven
• 15:32
  Sidney Northam-Stantz, strong, stocky, slow curve, high outside, ball one
• 15:42
  Elliott at first
• 15:54
  Hatton down, checks the runner first, pitches, curve ball just low and inside
• 16:00
  Ball two, run off
• 16:10
  Hatton reaches the side, now stops in his pitching move, deals, curve, high outside, ball three
• 16:17
  So it goes behind, three nothing, all curve, ball one
• 16:20
  Here's the third pitch, Sid Gordon, Chris Edwards, playing the 12th pitcher, off and from the plate, a couple of paces
• 16:27
  Before he would return the agate
• 16:36
  Here's the three nothing pitch, fastball low, ball four
• 16:40
  Ball is placed in the crowd on simple, empty bounces, single by Elliott, it's colored by a base on Buster Gordon
• 16:47
  And now Willard Marshall gets in, the players are threatening with two fouls, he's in the first inning, he'll score
• 16:52
  Man at first and second, Edwards out the mound, stocky, good batter, he'll have it
• 16:57
  Marshall is a left hand batter, hitting 261
• 17:02
  Hit them to pull, the outfield shifting back now to right
• 17:07
  Outfield has been almost like it was on a shuttle train here in the first inning, where they've been switching back and forth
• 17:13
  Very extreme on these hitters
• 17:17
  Marshall's winning from the end
• 17:20
  Elliott being down off second, Gordon off first, left side of the infield back, left side up step, the pitch is
• 17:26
  Fastball for a false strike, going above the knee, in the inside
• 17:31
  Now he gets
• 17:33
  The ball and strike indicator
• 17:37
  Gordon is now on first place side of second, and the runner to first and second, that's called remains on the line behind third
• 17:44
  Secret of them probably of course should have the proper angle
• 17:48
  I think in one pitch, curveball's come on top, got stopped, reached, he's under, under, waiting
• 17:55
  And he loses, the ball's up, and Elliott scores, the runner's remain at first and second
• 18:00
  Peewee is in his 11th year, and I have never seen him lose one before, but he lost it, he has no sunbathers, he usually wears them
• 18:07
  He told you a few moments ago, there is not a cloud in the sky, and Reese, one of the most capable of players, in fact first shot
• 18:14
  And says that he's so good he calls him his ringer, meaning that he's really too good for the professionals
• 18:20
  Peewee lost the pop line and dropped two feet behind him
• 18:25
  Peewee's standing there sort of wiping the tears out of his eyes, and there are tears of complete frustration too
• 18:32
  As well as looking into that scar
• 18:34
  So Peewee, the ball has to be scored as a base hit of course
• 18:37
  Ball wants to touch
• 18:39
  You have to win for your flower, you know, with two outs
• 18:43
  So Elliott, who was running, scores
• 18:47
  And there is a sunsingle with a simple pop line, directly at short, not too hard
• 18:52
  But Reese just lost it, and you lost it, you lost it
• 18:56
  And Big Walker Cooper making his first head pass now for the Braves, he's going to catch it today
• 19:02
  Hadn't rolled, curve ball low and soft
• 19:05
  Well that was a tough break for Joe
• 19:09
  A good break for Marshall, giving him a base hit and an unbatted end
• 19:12
  Short, touch and a back of ake, Elliott of course running with two outs, scored
• 19:16
  One-nothing Boston, well there is never a dull day at Brooklyn, you see it all with the Dodgers
• 19:21
  Cooper swinging from the end, hits the Cincinnati at 191
• 19:26
  Nine hits, 47 up back
• 19:28
  Swings and hits the ground ball down to short, Reese is up, throws the second, in time for the fourth play
• 19:34
  So the Braves and the Elder are four outs, and got a run home
• 19:38
  Cooper hitting into a force out at second base, Reese to Robinson
• 19:43
  On run, two hits, and the bright sky and the sun intervene to matter
• 19:52
  Well friends, I want to tell you about a marvelous new cereal that has everything
• 20:02
  It's post-sugar crisp, the newest member of the family of famous post-series
• 20:07
  Delicious, sweet, coated with just the right combination of sugar and honey
• 20:12
  Now an old red says it's got everything, he means just that
• 20:16
  It's delicious for breakfast with milk or cream and no sugar needed
• 20:21
  It's wonderful for between meals, snack
• 20:24
  Or you can just eat it right out of the bag like candy
• 20:27
  Now think of it, wherever your fun takes you, for a drive to the beach or out to the ballgame
• 20:33
  That handy package of post-sugar crisp can just go right along with you
• 20:38
  So get yourself a bag of sugar crisp, try it
• 20:41
  Hey, on second thought, you better make that several bags
• 20:45
  Look for it in the big red and white blue cellophane bag at your grocery
• 20:49
  This sun-shining Saturday afternoon
• 20:51
  Now that's post-sugar crisp, a cereal that's just plain fun to eat
• 21:02
  Now move along, the last and first, the new Reese coming up
• 21:05
  Well, all things happen to you, you can stay up here long enough
• 21:08
  I never thought he would lose one before in the sign, but he lost that one
• 21:12
  I noticed that the Boston infielders, especially short-stop cars, very busy
• 21:16
  Putting up their gloves and curing out from behind them, check the sky
• 21:20
  Ryan Bickford on the mound, one nothing play with the Braves
• 21:22
  And Reese up hitting.256, a called strike
• 21:27
  Fastball off the hand over the inside
• 21:33
  Reese, 20 hits
• 21:35
  Play down the deals, curve ball coming up, short-stop cars up
• 21:40
  It goes over the first infielders up
• 21:43
  Short-stop to the court, first strike
• 21:46
  One up, one away
• 21:49
  George Sugar, hitting at.224
• 21:53
  Stepping in
• 21:55
  He has been hitting with a great deal of power
• 21:58
  Left hand batter
• 22:02
  So far he's gotten a nod in left field whenever the opposition has started the right hand
• 22:07
  This is the case with Bickford, who pitches, curve low inside
• 22:11
  Ball one
• 22:13
  For the Braves, it is Bickford on the mound and Walker Cooper is making his first appearance back of the bat
• 22:20
  Cooper returned to Billy Southwood, they used to be together at St. Louis
• 22:24
  Fastball low, ball two
• 22:27
  Infield as Earl Targisson at first, city sisters at second base, looks like he'll play there with Connie Ryan, traded for Cooper
• 22:34
  Gone to Cincinnati
• 22:36
  Bickford wastes a little time, pitches to all
• 22:39
  Low inside with a fastball for ball three
• 22:43
  But a car, the X-Giant, it's a short and the third base by Ballyas
• 22:48
  Sid Gordon in last
• 22:50
  Center fielder is Sam Jethro
• 22:53
  Right fielder, Willard Marshall, outfielder well around for the right, by Saddlin, field deep, three nothing pitches
• 22:58
  Ball forward, shooter off, fastball just missing the outside
• 23:03
  First target then to get on, shooter with a walk
• 23:06
  And that makes the potential time run at first
• 23:11
  Foul hitting a few ninety-four
• 23:20
  Post cereals and post nearest, Sugarcrisp keeping the post it on the ballgame
• 23:25
  One nothing, favor the Braves
• 23:27
  Snider takes a slow curve low inside his chin, ball one
• 23:32
  Bickford always gives the Dodgers a very sparing argument
• 23:39
  Always has
• 23:45
  Stops
• 23:47
  Heels
• 23:50
  Ball two, two and off
• 23:57
  Two balls and strikes, one gone
• 24:01
  Sugar leading off first and Ferguson holding the corner carefully against him
• 24:04
  Jake Fittler coaching the first base for Brooklyn, Milton Stock is coaching the third
• 24:09
  And the sun is shining brightly, it's a tough sky up above
• 24:14
  Curve low inside the foul, ball three
• 24:17
  Bickford cutting himself in the jam now, three and off
• 24:21
  Also a curve to Duke
• 24:26
  Foul, Willoway, very strong through the shoulders and chest, left hand hitter
• 24:35
  Three nothing pitch, fastball high outside the ball four
• 24:40
  And the man out, Mr. Wolf's the next two
• 24:46
  There's a fellow who won the batting championship last year and was voted beneath the most valuable player, Jackie Robinson
• 24:55
  There's nobody now who is being as ripped up, but it is well known as this fellow
• 25:02
  This star in the motion picture, Jackie Robinson's story
• 25:07
  Running, hitting the three twenty nine, leading the Dodgers and hitting as you'd expect
• 25:14
  Now Fularan to a lefty infield up one or two steps and double play depth
• 25:18
  Pitch is, fastball in for him
• 25:21
  Back out of the way, ball one
• 25:23
  We're going to have some action now on the Boston bullpen down in the left field corner
• 25:28
  Bickford in position, Neal's curve high outside, four ball two
• 25:42
  Walked in behind two and all
• 25:51
  Two balls, no strikes
• 26:05
  Sister, the second baseman has come over to the mound, taking a little time right now, trying to slow Bickford down
• 26:11
  Changes mind
• 26:19
  Boston bullpen, going to work, right in the left hander
• 26:25
  Now the familiar cat at the infield, we want a hit, probably some leading up there, the catch two and all
• 26:31
  Pitch is, curve outside, four ball three
• 26:35
  Two balls, no strikes
• 26:42
  Back, in addition to being a fine hitter, has a very fine curve eyes
• 26:52
  Three nothing pitch, four strikes
• 26:55
  Left hander for the Braves is the bonus player, Johnny Antonelli
• 27:00
  Right hander is Norman Roy
• 27:03
  Left and right hander, working for the Braves
• 27:06
  Brumson has the instructions through Milton Stock, how to manage your bridge shotting, once you see one pitch confided
• 27:13
  Here it is, the runners go, and it is a curve outside for ball four
• 27:18
  Still not knowing whether the pitch will be a strike or not, couldn't be sure, but there was no throw
• 27:23
  All four at the plate, the ladies now up for B, they are full of looking
• 27:28
  Three baseman balls, and catch the two, but goes off the cross to Bickford
• 27:33
  The batter up is Paul Peretto, who is hitting a 275
• 27:38
  Way along the way, we got a big minute here at Brooklyn
• 27:45
  And folks, the post serial people from Bible Creek are very happy to send you this broadcast to know in New York as it always is
• 27:55
  Over at WMGM, and on Saturdays from at home at Brooklyn, over the Columbia broadcasting system
• 28:03
  So, got lots of ears right back, and we're glad to have you, we got plenty of room
• 28:07
  All right, Bickford's in a jam, he's about to jump right over in the pickle bag, please be careful
• 28:13
  Dwellow up, three all, one out, one nothing Boston pitch, a curve good for a called strike
• 28:18
  Bickford's been staying with that curve ball, Cooper's been calling for one right after the other
• 28:23
  This is Walker Cooper, catching for the Braves, catching for his fourth team in the league
• 28:29
  He was a catch, you know, for Billy Southwick when those Cardinals were winning those pennants
• 28:33
  And little Billy, runners take their lead, the pitch is hung on
• 28:39
  Foul, Johnny Adgenale warming up, the left-handed pitcher caught the ball
• 28:47
  Throws it out, so he caught it way back in, foul ground to both ends, felt Dwellow, hit a whistling foul ball
• 28:54
  And it's a loud strike, a ball to strike, one nothing, paper to Braves, Schuberth third, Smarter second, Robinson first
• 29:02
  Three walks from the road by Bickford, pitch is a curve just outside, fast ball, one ball, two strikes
• 29:12
  See that this wonderful set of reflexes to stand at the plate, take a curve ball just on the outside
• 29:18
  Especially with two strikes on you
• 29:21
  That's the mark of the finished major league player that you're not unduly trigger happy
• 29:26
  Now let's see what Bickford does, he's actually trying to cross up the hitter
• 29:31
  He deals, it's called strike three, back ball, from the outside
• 29:37
  And Dwellow turns and slowly walks away, so they tricked him, they gave him a curve just outside
• 29:42
  Member of the college is looking for another curve, they snuck the fast ball over
• 29:46
  And more than that, it wasn't a completely fast ball, it was a two-quarter speed fast ball, just a change
• 29:51
  A little off of it, but a highly artistic pitch, and quite successful
• 29:56
  That's the first strikeout, so now here we are, down to cases
• 30:02
  Big Hodges with two down and three on, last to the first inning
• 30:08
  Not too long to what left, one nothing in favor of the Braves, the cause of the sun
• 30:14
  Reese with two down, lost a little pop fly at shortstop, never touched, ball dropped, foot behind him, the run came in
• 30:20
  Pitch, sharp curve low outside, four ball one
• 30:26
  Victor trying to work out of this, sharp work, he's not come out of the dugout at all
• 30:33
  Just let the battery go, very experienced catcher back at the plate, walker Cooper
• 30:41
  Three runners, ready to go, two up, there's a ground ball back up the bounce, over to our second base
• 30:46
  And the throw is over the first base in time, and Hodges is up, nice play by Siskie
• 30:51
  The bounce over the mound is Hodges, Siskie's swing, Siskie's cut right in, with the second base right in front of the bag
• 30:57
  And throw off, across his body, without having any time to wait, he couldn't
• 31:02
  So, Victor pitches out of a jam, and he walks through the hot water and doesn't get stolen
• 31:09
  No runs, and no hits, three men were left
• 31:13
  So at the end of the first inning it is a run, two hits, no errors for the Braves, no runs, no hits, and no errors for the Braves
• 31:20
  Here we go again, and other where around the National League at the end of three and a half innings
• 31:26
  With Coslow, left-handing them to the Giants at Philadelphia, and Kyrgyzstan is also southward going for the Phillies
• 31:32
  It is one-nothing for the Giants, the Phillies right now in first place by a game over Brooklyn
• 31:37
  Chambers, a left-hander will start for the Pirates of Chicago, and Hiller, a right-hander will go for the Cubs
• 31:45
  Those Cubs have been doing alright, haven't they? Since that, it is at St. Louis tonight
• 31:50
  In the American League, hooks wise for the Athletics at the stadium against Vic Rashie
• 31:55
  That's just about to begin
• 31:58
  Washington at Boston, Hudson for Washington, Stubbs for Boston, and it is two-nothing for the Red Sox at the end of the first inning
• 32:05
  No score between the White Sox and the Indians at the end of the first inning, Kane for Chicago, Fulop for Cleveland
• 32:10
  Nothing yet on St. Louis at Detroit, and here we go on to the second inning, the system first up
• 32:15
  Second baseman, who just played a nice play closing the first inning
• 32:18
  Right-hand hitter, and Hatton-Kirch in low-ing side for ball one
• 32:25
  Sisti is off for six this year
• 32:30
  Half-field, good left, right-hand batter, fast ball is over, ball strike
• 32:34
  Stubbs, over the last couple of years, is probably South-West's most dependable hitter at Boston
• 32:43
  Hatton-Pomps, deals, curve, butted foul, Sisti's working first for a base hit
• 32:52
  One ball, two strikes
• 32:54
  One-nothing play for the Braves
• 33:07
  Osterio sending it all the way, and a little bit later on will tell you how you can get the 1950 Dodgy yearbook
• 33:14
  Keep the ears open here
• 33:17
  Good job, good job
• 33:21
  Draw, high, very high
• 33:23
  Good job
• 33:25
  Hatton-Pomps, two-two, does, fast ball, strike three
• 33:43
  And Sisti has not had a hit in seven official at-batch this year
• 33:47
  So Hatton-Kirch, fast ball, strike three
• 33:57
  Call, right-hand batter, hitting 175
• 34:06
  Choke that stick a little bit
• 34:09
  Half-field back in the right, not playing into call, Hatton-Trolls, ball strike, fast ball on the outside
• 34:15
  The car has an open stance
• 34:23
  Spreads his feet
• 34:26
  Wind blowing into the left-field corner from right
• 34:29
  Third ball, hit five, run around, outside third
• 34:34
  Nothing to do
• 34:40
  The car's done a good job, it's short for the Braves
• 34:43
  Talking with Billy Southworth before the ball game this afternoon
• 34:47
  And he said that he was very pleased with the deals that he had made
• 34:51
  One in which he's been stanky and dark to the Giants, the Tar, the Gordon and Washington
• 34:57
  Third ball low outside, ball one, one and two
• 35:00
  And then the recent deal in which he gave up Connie Ryan, an infielder, to get Woff Cooper, the big veteran catcher from Cincinnati
• 35:09
  On a two-pitch, third ball, left miss, high outside, and she's still into it
• 35:16
  Two balls, two strikes
• 35:20
  Don Newcomb is sitting down in the back of the bullpen for the Dodgers
• 35:25
  Says his arm feels a great deal better
• 35:29
  Two-two pitch, fast ball's thrown on, there's a high five all out in the deep center
• 35:34
  Madder is back, sunglasses down, he's under, he has it
• 35:37
  Pull up the center guard now, two up, two away, the second in
• 35:42
  And the pitcher, Ben Bickford, who has one hit for 11 tries, kicks in
• 35:48
  Bad hand, Madder
• 35:58
  After, back in the right, they're not playing him to get around on the ball
• 36:01
  Pitch, thrown on, fast ball, really fast, had to turn out in the loop
• 36:08
  The ball's run straight
• 36:13
  Boston one, I don't know, here in the second inning
• 36:20
  Joe throws a curve, thrown on the miss, doesn't break him down for the knee catch
• 36:24
  Two, three, two
• 36:26
  Hadden Beals curve ball in there, Bickford Newark in terms of giving the ball
• 36:31
  And that's Edward, the end of the third, ball straight to three
• 36:35
  So the Braves went down one, two, three, and then second in
• 36:40
  Big to feel, leading one to nothing
• 36:42
  Well look here, fans, here's a breakfast combination, it's just as smooth as a ball
• 36:48
  And the Braves are back, they're in the lead, they're in the lead
• 36:51
  Well look here, fans, here's a breakfast combination, it's just as smooth as a million dollar infield
• 36:58
  Post-Raisin' Grant
• 37:00
  Crackling fresh tasty brand flakes, plus tender seedless California raisins
• 37:06
  Yes ma'am, that's Post-Raisin' Grant for you
• 37:09
  A fruit and a cereal combination, that's just double the list
• 37:14
  The flakes give flavor to the raisins, and the raisins give flavor to the flakes
• 37:19
  And like all post cereals, Raisin' Grant is guaranteed fresh
• 37:24
  So try Post-Raisin' Grant some morning real soon
• 37:28
  You'll see why, it's post for flavor, post for freshness, post for the most of everything good in cereals
• 37:36
  Now before we get along into the second inning, let's pause briefly, 20 seconds worth for station identification
• 38:02
  The first pitch lasts the second inning, the Billy Cox is a curve right over, Brian Bickford returns
• 38:07
  And Cox is proud of it, it's a high foul ball, out of play
• 38:10
  And the left field stands to strike two, Bickford pitches that to you
• 38:15
  In a hurry there, could have gone someplace, he didn't waste any time at all, he always does pitch and roll
• 38:22
  Cox is off to four
• 38:25
  He plays the ninth game at Cincinnati, last in Brooklyn played before this one, which is his only game play in third base
• 38:35
  Slaughter William is outside for ball one, fastball replaced it down there, it's an image of a cheat
• 38:42
  One ball, two strikes
• 38:52
  Curve outside, ball two, two and two
• 39:01
  Cox is a back that is stained dark brown, the throw is a curve, that's two strikes after the pitch
• 39:26
  One out, last to the second, one nothing, Boston, Bruce Edwards, stocky, acrobatic, strong catcher, hitting 167, fastball low outside, ball one
• 39:39
  Boy that Bickford got himself out of about all it took before he could get out of the first inning, when there was one gone he walked Schubas, Madeline Robinson, three straight
• 39:47
  Then struck out for a low, he really pitched to him and got Hodges in the cap to second
• 39:52
  Pitch is swung on, five ball, the right field, the wind holding it up, Masters underneath, the right field is set and makes the grab
• 40:01
  For Edwards, two up, two gone and pitching happening, now what's up with that, he has one hit for seven at bats
• 40:14
  One thing he does well is prompt and beat them out, so we'll see what third baseman Edwards does, step up inside the bat
• 40:26
  Robinson is also up close to first, he's super down, give him a sign, top five, batting, bases to go, going to make the call, happens trying to check his swing, high inside fifth, without the second baseman
• 40:43
  At the end of two innings, a run, two hits, no errors for the Braves, no runs, no hits, no errors, but we're very glad you came along to be with us on the broadcast, the best wishes of both serials
• 40:57
  As you know on the at home Saturdays, the post folks are very happy to keep you posted on the doings of the Dodgers, and if we'd like to sort of keep them touched for future Saturdays, well the very next one on May 20th, Pittsburgh will be here
• 41:14
  The ears right back for that one, and the Cardinals will be here at Brooklyn on June 17, Pittsburgh again on June 24, Philadelphia, oh there's a hot one, on July the 8th, Chicago on July 29, 690, August 5, these are all Saturdays, home Saturdays at Brooklyn
• 41:35
  The Braves back again on August 19, Giants on September 2, St. Louis again on September 16, and Philadelphia on September 30, it'd be funny if they'd fight for the 10th on September 30, wouldn't be a surprise, would it to you?
• 41:51
  Now Sam Jethro, first up and the third, not here, around toward left, Sam is which hitter batting right handed, just throw the most hits of any player in the league, batting in 3.48, he's got 32 good ones, down the ball game being thrown out third to first
• 42:14
  He'll go back to the plate, swings at a high top fly, going in the short left center, let's see, send a few of his smatters in, glasses down, he has, ready to go for Jethro, one up and one away, beginning the third inning, by nothing, they were the Braves
• 42:32
  End of two innings, the Red Sox lead in Washington, the American lead 2-0, end of two innings, the White Sox lead in Cleveland, Indians 1-0
• 42:44
  Earl Torgerson is the batter, lead 286, right up to here, left hand hitter, fastball in his knees, ball wide
• 42:54
  The Phillies have just come up with four runs in the fourth inning, they go ahead of the New York Giants, 4-1, the end of four
• 43:02
  Now you're up to date on the post scoreboard, happens to throw to Torgerson, curve, he's flying, top of the out of the center field for a base hit
• 43:09
  Earl Torgerson goes right around first base, makes his turn, that holds up, snatter, cut the ball off, slipped to his knees with the cover and threw in, the reach is relayed on to the Robinson
• 43:24
  Little conference out of the mound between Ketchum Edwards and Ketchum Hatton, Elliott hit a solid single until he left field for the first two of the game
• 43:43
  The first inning moved to second as Gordon was locked and scored as Reese in the Sun lost the simple pop by the short, simple, well not simple today with a sky like that
• 43:57
  Curve ball is low outside, ball wide
• 44:00
  For those of you all around the country listening to this post serial broadcast, who may not have heard the first inning, don't want you to misjudge Peewee Harsher, that's the only pop five ever seen him lose in 11 years, the only one
• 44:17
  So Curve swung on here at the end of the bat, up to first base, Puggett picks it up and puts the tag on Elliott for the out
• 44:26
  That's the way it talks, no play made on him, moves down to second base
• 44:32
  Pug on, Elliott retired, Chris Bichman unassisted
• 44:41
  Gordon, hit in at 2 62, took those four curves and then took his base, passed, first inning, he's a dangerous hitter, he's always hit well against Brooker and always well in this ballpark
• 45:00
  Brings on Curve and counts the ball deep on the left side of field, it is in there for a big home run, he's set that first in time, hit it to the left side of field, section 32, it's three nothing play for the Braves, here's Gordon running between second and third
• 45:15
  There he comes on his way up to the plate, out of the south, takes it by the hand and it's a case for the host to the quick to the Sid Gordon household, that's the awards in all for home runs and shut-ups
• 45:30
  That's home run number 8 for Sid, gives him a total of runs that have been 17
• 45:45
  He's tough man now, he's in the nice today, he can try to get Ted Williams at the major, the most homer, 8
• 45:51
  Here's the big hitter, David Marshall swinging and missing, high curve ball, it's no longer a 1 to 0 game, she's three nothing and play for the Braves
• 46:05
  Sidney a boom run, hadn't comes back, curve ball high outside, one and one
• 46:16
  That ball was wall hit.
• 46:18
  When she got up high, you could see it hooking.
• 46:20
  Boy, that one was a...
• 46:24
  ...from a kind of Desmond's tee shot.
• 46:26
  Get in here to tell you about him in a minute.
• 46:28
  There's a ground ball off the pitcher's ball,
• 46:30
  hitting the tree, and takes him off the...
• 46:36
  That's out number three.
• 46:38
  The ball count off the pitcher's ball
• 46:40
  before it's first hit and retrieving the ball
• 46:42
  was right up against the runner when he came up with it.
• 46:44
  Two runs on two hits.
• 46:47
  How it hits two.
• 46:49
  Big home run by Six Lord.
• 46:51
  Well, speaking of my Desmond,
• 46:53
  I don't know whether he's going to talk about his drop drives
• 46:57
  or his house out in Florida, Long Island,
• 46:59
  or about what a nice day it is or anything,
• 47:01
  but honey, have you got a word for us?
• 47:03
  Ah, sure have, Red.
• 47:05
  I got the word on that swell new cereal, Sugarcrisp.
• 47:09
  Man, it's so delicious, folks eat it right around the clock.
• 47:13
  Yes, sir, post-Sugarcrisp is such fun to eat.
• 47:16
  It makes a hit for the whole family.
• 47:18
  For breakfast, you just pour on the milk or cream.
• 47:22
  Remember, you can skip the sugar,
• 47:24
  because Sugarcrisp is just sweet enough.
• 47:27
  Sugarcrisp, you see, is wholesome puffed wheat
• 47:30
  coated with honey and sugar,
• 47:33
  and that makes it a tasty snack any time of day.
• 47:36
  And you can eat it right out of the bag.
• 47:39
  It's just the kind of nibbling the whole family will go for.
• 47:42
  So remember, as a cereal it's dandy,
• 47:45
  or snacks it's so handy,
• 47:47
  or eat it like candy.
• 47:49
  Look for post-Sugarcrisp at your grocery store
• 47:52
  in the big cellophane bag with the three little Sugarcrisp bears on the outside.
• 47:56
  Okay, Red.
• 47:58
  Alright, Comedius, hey, what were you talking about, Tommy?
• 48:01
  No, Dirk.
• 48:03
  So here's where he's first up against Big, the last of the third.
• 48:08
  Right hand hitter, we're in deals.
• 48:11
  Last ball over for a false strike.
• 48:14
  Peely hitting a 2.53, takes a pitch outside.
• 48:18
  One and one.
• 48:20
  One ball, one strike.
• 48:22
  She's 3-0 in favor of the big, bold Braves of Boston.
• 48:26
  Peely swings, there's a high fly ball,
• 48:28
  hit by the left field corner.
• 48:30
  Gordon on the left field, it goes over,
• 48:32
  and makes the catch.
• 48:34
  Peely, the fire.
• 48:37
  Well, it just made the catch as the guy that hit the two-run home run just now, Sid Gordon.
• 48:44
  The Braves actually have put together,
• 48:47
  except for Johnny Mize,
• 48:49
  the batting order for the Giants three years ago,
• 48:51
  used to make all those home runs.
• 48:53
  They got Big Cooper back on the plate, Marshall out there in right field.
• 48:58
  Gordon out in left.
• 49:01
  There's George Schumer, who plays the Brooklyn Swing,
• 49:03
  the ground ball down to the right side, the second baseman,
• 49:07
  handles it over the first bend, and that's all for Schumer.
• 49:10
  They're all too long.
• 49:12
  And of course, for the Braves, they've got a fellow who can hit their ball a long way.
• 49:18
  Sam Jetsler, out in center field, doesn't come up with so many long hits.
• 49:23
  That is as far as home runs go, although he has three triples.
• 49:27
  But he comes up with a lot of hits.
• 49:30
  Snider, up the rook, the left-hand batter,
• 49:33
  takes a high inside fastball.
• 49:36
  All right.
• 49:37
  Duke has walked in the first game.
• 49:39
  He's pregame off, 2-94, still riding.
• 49:44
  The wind is toward left field.
• 49:47
  Duke swinging, causes it, and they stand on the mark.
• 49:53
  While the wind was blowing the way that Gordon hit his home run,
• 49:57
  he didn't need the wind.
• 49:59
  This was bellied.
• 50:04
  Make the deal, a smatter swing, high five all out into deep left center,
• 50:09
  left field there, Gordon, under, makes the catch for out number three.
• 50:16
  End of three innings.
• 50:17
  Let's check out Total's county before you grab the tiller here.
• 50:21
  I speak in multiple times because I know that all your life
• 50:24
  you just like to go out and sail those little things around.
• 50:27
  At the end of three innings, it's three runs, four hits,
• 50:30
  and no errors for the Braves.
• 50:32
  Do you concur, sir?
• 50:33
  Right, sir.
• 50:34
  Sir, for the Dodgers?
• 50:36
  Gee, I don't see anything at all, do you?
• 50:39
  Nothing at all.
• 50:40
  No runs, no hits, no...
• 50:42
  Well, kind of, I would ask you a personal question,
• 50:44
  or an honest answer.
• 50:46
  Have you ever seen a nicer day?
• 50:47
  Oh, this is wonderful.
• 50:49
  Now we can only shoot golf.
• 50:51
  Boy, you and I are lucky we got a job.
• 50:54
  Go ahead.
• 50:55
  We got it.
• 50:57
  Robinson, Frillo, and Hodges, of course,
• 50:59
  will come up if you're looking ahead on that part of the list,
• 51:02
  because the Dodgers got to start making some runs.
• 51:05
  Their pitching has been sort of wobbly,
• 51:07
  and that Western trip was accrual as far as they're concerned.
• 51:11
  But right now, at the present moment,
• 51:13
  Mr. Haddon must contend with Big Walker Cooper,
• 51:15
  Sivy Sisti, and Buddy Kerr.
• 51:18
  The outfield plays his big fellow around to the left.
• 51:25
  Cooper batting at 188.
• 51:27
  Nine base hits.
• 51:29
  He got to hit his first home run.
• 51:31
  He better be quiet.
• 51:33
  Three-nothing in favor of Boston here,
• 51:35
  top half of the fourth inning.
• 51:37
  Haddon's first pitch swung on, and there's a high five-all,
• 51:40
  and it's hooking foul and going back into the stand.
• 51:44
  Schubel is over, right up against the barrier there
• 51:46
  to watch it sail in, and it's a long, loud strike.
• 51:53
  Boston out in front, three-nothing.
• 51:56
  Top half of the fourth inning.
• 51:58
  Cooper the first time up, the ground ball down to Reese.
• 52:05
  Big strong, right hand batter.
• 52:07
  Haddon shows another one.
• 52:09
  Oh, this one's flying to the left center field.
• 52:11
  Snyder comes in, under it, and takes it to the off.
• 52:13
  Ball was probably swiped.
• 52:15
  Got it flying in position there, left center field,
• 52:18
  hold it down.
• 52:20
  So there's one away in the top half of the fourth inning.
• 52:22
  Brings up City Siste.
• 52:26
  Siste made a very fine play to get Bickford out of a trap
• 52:30
  there in the first inning.
• 52:32
  Hodges checking the swing, and the ball hit over the mound,
• 52:34
  and Siste scooped the ball up, and got the big gill
• 52:38
  for the third off.
• 52:40
  Swings out, that's one of the five-all in the right field.
• 52:43
  Sweet come for a little in, under it now.
• 52:45
  Oshade over 드�le line, takes it to the out,
• 52:47
  makes it two up, three down.
• 52:49
  Bobby Feller has just did a home run for Cleveland
• 52:54
  in the last half of the third inning.
• 52:56
  The inning is not complete.
• 52:57
  Chicago is leading 1-0.
• 52:59
  As Cleveland came to bat in the last half of the third inning.
• 53:03
  Here's Buddy Kerr.

  Just our building up three here
• 53:31
  the first base and waiting on
• 53:39
  the arrival of the coming up
• 53:42
  towards home plate.
• 53:43
  You have a sort of a spasm of
• 53:45
  control troubles.
• 53:48
  Walk three men back to back in
• 53:49
  the first inning and then get
• 53:50
  out of it.
• 53:51
  Stalking out Perillo and getting
• 53:52
  Hodges and a bouncer to second
• 53:53
  base.
• 53:54
  Three nothing Boston.
• 53:56
  At first pitch one on bounce
• 53:57
  down on the third base line.
• 53:59
  That says it goes to first base
• 54:01
  and that is all for the Boston
• 54:04
  side.
• 54:06
  Five to three of you're putting
• 54:07

  And takes it for the.
• 56:55
  Carl was telling us.
• 56:57
  For.
• 56:58
  Game.
• 56:59
  Red Nile on the batting cage
• 57:01
  that he only hit one ball
• 57:02
  solidly on the entire Western
• 57:04
  trip.
• 57:05
  And that one he hit Paul.
• 57:09
  You have a little trouble.
• 57:10
  Every.
• 57:10
  Day.
• 57:15
  Big Hodges.
• 57:16
  Got a chance to get the Dodgers
• 57:18
  well on the first inning and
• 57:19
  grounded out the system.
• 57:20
  Turned it a nice play on it was
• 57:22
  up to out.
• 57:22
  Nobody on a curve.
• 57:24
  Busts in there for a call
• 57:25
  strike.
• 57:26
  Hodges about to get three oh
• 57:28
  six.
• 57:29
  Twenty two base hits.
• 57:34
  I feel the shade around in the
• 57:36
  left and they're backed up.
• 57:37
  You can bet.
• 57:37
  That one way outside the big
• 57:39
  hook that got off Cooper Smith.
• 57:47
  Ball one strike one.
• 57:55
  Big fruit picking up his time
• 57:56
  from the veteran receiver.
• 58:00
  How the one one pitch.
• 58:01
  Inside.
• 58:03
  Both of these are anxious days
• 58:04
  around ball clubs you know the
• 58:06
  cutting down data.
• 58:08
  Paints.
• 58:13
  Ball to strike one.
• 58:18
  I'll just have to offer what he
• 58:20
  are.
• 58:20
  Last half of the fourth inning
• 58:21
  Braves lead three to nothing.
• 58:24
  Both serials very happy to be
• 58:26
  selling it all your way.
• 58:27
  Becker's let's.
• 58:29
  I'll just go back to it.
• 58:30
  I'll just go back to it.
• 58:36
  All the deuces up to to the
• 58:38
  count to off nobody on.
• 58:42
  Last half of the four three
• 58:44
  nothing Boston.
• 58:45
  Big Bird comes in with a hook
• 58:47
  for not knocked off the end of
• 58:48
  the bat.
• 58:48
  He hit the ball right off the
• 59:07
  end of his deck and he could say
• 59:09
  it.
• 59:09
  Sort of spinning.
• 59:11
  Like you would.
• 59:15
  Take a massive shot.
• 59:16
  And.
• 59:18
  They said.
• 59:21
  Oh go on it first base and that
• 59:23
  is the first hit off.
• 59:31
  Billy Cox up struck out first
• 59:33
  time he's over five since he got
• 59:35
  back in the lineup.
• 59:36
  How does it first do out curve
• 59:38
  ball misses outside ball one.
• 59:41
  Pickford is sneaky fast.
• 59:44
  He's got a good fastball although
• 59:46
  he he doesn't rely too much on
• 59:47
  that.
• 59:49
  He likes to fool around with
• 59:50
  those fast speed hooks.
• 59:52
  So to spot.
• 59:54
  But.
• 59:54
  After.
• 59:56
  I'm going to second base 50 up
• 59:57
  with a close the first for the
• 59:59
  office.
• 59:59
  And.
• 1:00:00
  Pickford must have some
• 1:00:01
  penalizing stuff out there.
• 1:00:03
  That's about the third Dodger
• 1:00:04
  hitter that rather undecided
• 1:00:06
  whether or not to go over the
• 1:00:07
  pitcher not.
• 1:00:08
  And checking his swing the ball
• 1:00:09
  went out the second base and
• 1:00:10
  system made the play.
• 1:00:12
  No runs one hit one man left on
• 1:00:14
  and just like that.
• 1:00:15
  And that's what's brought back
• 1:00:16
  again with our post serial
• 1:00:17
  scoreboard.
• 1:00:23
  At the end of five innings.
• 1:00:25
  And Simmons.
• 1:00:26
  Philadelphia is out in front of
• 1:00:28
  the Giants four to one four runs
• 1:00:30
  in the fourth inning.
• 1:00:31
  Coslow didn't come back for the
• 1:00:33
  fifth.
• 1:00:33
  So I'll make it look over there.
• 1:00:35
  And in that fourth inning.
• 1:00:37
  Dick Sistler who is just as hot
• 1:00:39
  as a 79 cent pistol.
• 1:00:42
  Hit a home run his fifth of the
• 1:00:43
  season and the second inning
• 1:00:45
  going on.
• 1:00:46
  Pittsburgh has just made two
• 1:00:47
  runs in the second inning.
• 1:00:48
  Go ahead to nothing over the
• 1:00:49
  Chicago Cubs.
• 1:00:50
  Stop.
• 1:00:51
  There's the same noise tonight.
• 1:00:53
  On the American League.
• 1:00:55
  Washington's in Boston.
• 1:00:56
  And the Red Sox are leading to
• 1:00:58
  nothing at the end of four and
• 1:00:59
  a half innings.
• 1:01:00
  The Stubbs pitching for Boston
• 1:01:02
  Hudson for Washington.
• 1:01:03
  It is a two one ball game.
• 1:01:05
  The White Sox over the Cleveland
• 1:01:06
  Indians came to play for Bobby
• 1:01:08
  Foller pitching for Cleveland.
• 1:01:09
  And it's kind of just told you
• 1:01:10
  follow her home run the third
• 1:01:11
  inning for Cleveland.
• 1:01:12
  And the guys will start for the
• 1:01:13
  athletics the Polo Grounds
• 1:01:14
  against the big rash.
• 1:01:17
  At the.
• 1:01:18
  I'm not.
• 1:01:19
  I said Polo.
• 1:01:20
  The Yankee Stadium and the
• 1:01:21
  Yankee Stadium today.
• 1:01:22
  One of the great men all time in
• 1:01:24
  baseball at Barra is being
• 1:01:25
  honored.
• 1:01:27
  This is a day in honor of that
• 1:01:28
  bar.
• 1:01:29
  Funny.
• 1:01:30
  Bad Red Sam just all bleeding
• 1:01:32
  off.
• 1:01:32
  He's the Boston Lightning Bolt
• 1:01:34
  boy can he run.
• 1:01:37
  Swick hitter batting right
• 1:01:38
  handed against this lefty Joe
• 1:01:39
  Hatton the first pitch dealt
• 1:01:41
  him low for ball one.
• 1:01:47
  Just will play in Montreal last
• 1:01:49
  year stole eighty nine base.
• 1:01:53
  Wings on the high fly ball.
• 1:01:55
  Deep back.
• 1:01:56
  One may be gone.
• 1:01:57
  And it is.
• 1:01:59
  Way back.
• 1:02:02
  Tagged up.
• 1:02:03
  High.
• 1:02:04
  Far.
• 1:02:06
  And.
• 1:02:07
  He touches the ball.
• 1:02:08
  He leads the league.
• 1:02:09
  You know.
• 1:02:09
  He's got a hole in the number of
• 1:02:11
  base that.
• 1:02:12
  Is his thirty third.
• 1:02:14
  And he brings home his twenty
• 1:02:16
  third run.
• 1:02:16
  So.
• 1:02:17
  Topped in that department.
• 1:02:21
  Just roll really got a hole in
• 1:02:23
  one of Hatton's curve balls and
• 1:02:24
  straighten it out.
• 1:02:26
  Back in section thirty two.
• 1:02:28
  This is a must on the field and
• 1:02:29
  it is now.
• 1:02:30
  A ball to nothing ball game.
• 1:02:33
  Earl specs Torgerson stubbing up
• 1:02:35
  batting at two ninety five.
• 1:02:37
  Steps away from a sidearm curve
• 1:02:39
  ball.
• 1:02:39
  One.
• 1:02:41
  So the Dodgers got a lot of work
• 1:02:43
  to do.
• 1:02:47
  Who threw.
• 1:02:49
  Three.
• 1:02:50
  Home run balls at Chicago has
• 1:02:52
  tossed two today.
• 1:02:53
  One to Gordon and now this one to
• 1:02:55
  Jeff throw.
• 1:02:56
  Squeaking curveball outside.
• 1:02:59
  Bankhead.
• 1:03:00
  Continues to toil down on the
• 1:03:02
  bullpen.
• 1:03:03
  For Brooklyn.
• 1:03:06
  Dodgers have the tail end of
• 1:03:07
  their hitting was coming up.
• 1:03:09
  And the last half of this
• 1:03:10
  fifth inning.
• 1:03:10
  That was over and fastball gets
• 1:03:12
  over for a strike.
• 1:03:15
  All to strike one.
• 1:03:19
  Dodgers down for nothing.
• 1:03:20
  Top half of the fifth inning.
• 1:03:23
  Post serial very happy to be
• 1:03:24
  sending it all your way
• 1:03:25
  wherever you may be around the
• 1:03:26
  country.
• 1:03:27
  To one pitch up high ball to.
• 1:03:31
  All three.
• 1:03:31
  Three.
• 1:03:36
  Also strike one.
• 1:03:38
  Targusson has twenty three base
• 1:03:40
  hits.
• 1:03:41
  Move along quite solidly.
• 1:03:45
  Patent shows three one and this
• 1:03:47
  is inside a pipe for ball four.
• 1:03:50
  So after the home run.
• 1:03:52
  Patent deals up a walk.
• 1:03:55
  Walk Gordon in the first inning
• 1:03:56
  and then as Russ told you that
• 1:03:58
  little pop fly.
• 1:03:59
  That's why the Boston
• 1:04:03
  Boston got their first run.
• 1:04:06
  Home run by Gordon after a
• 1:04:07
  single by Targusson got him two
• 1:04:09
  more and just to open up this
• 1:04:10
  frame with a home run.
• 1:04:17
  Busted Bob Elliott up one for
• 1:04:18
  two this afternoon Targusson
• 1:04:20
  jumps down all first base.
• 1:04:21
  Here's the pitch to Bob.
• 1:04:22
  Right.
• 1:04:27
  In the center field and Targusson
• 1:04:29
  easily cruised around the third
• 1:04:31
  base.
• 1:04:31
  Boy that was a solid rep.
• 1:04:39
  Over Elliott that's his second
• 1:04:40
  hit.
• 1:04:43
  Edwards goes to the mound.
• 1:04:46
  Captain Reese comes in from
• 1:04:47
  shortstop.
• 1:04:48
  Bankhead continues to coil down
• 1:04:50
  on the bullpen and here is Mr.
• 1:04:52
  Gordon again.
• 1:04:58
  No friends.
• 1:05:01
  Is going to get the Derek.
• 1:05:04
  And now Dan Bankhead after
• 1:05:05
  throwing down a fast blazer out
• 1:05:08
  there starts walking in towards
• 1:05:10
  the mob.
• 1:05:13
  Born having scored top half of
• 1:05:15
  the fifth inning.
• 1:05:17
  Bankhead as we told you before
• 1:05:18
  while he was tuning up came up
• 1:05:20
  with a little arm trouble was
• 1:05:22
  more in his back.
• 1:05:25
  And he's back on the firing line
• 1:05:28
  now.
• 1:05:30
  Dan came up with a sparkling
• 1:05:32
  relief job at the Polar Grounds
• 1:05:34
  and big Don Luke started a ball
• 1:05:37
  game and only won a couple.
• 1:05:40
  Dan took up the torch.
• 1:05:42
  Went on to win the ballgame and
• 1:05:44
  that kind of cemented him around
• 1:05:46
  the plate.
• 1:05:47
  Then as he pitched the ball out
• 1:05:49
  from the west then the sore back
• 1:05:51
  and the shot that had put him on
• 1:05:53
  the.
• 1:05:54
  Shelf for a while.
• 1:05:55
  But here he is and it's going to
• 1:05:56
  be a rather interesting
• 1:05:57
  experience to see how he's going
• 1:05:59
  to come along.
• 1:06:01
  There's a power packed Boston
• 1:06:03
  lineup.
• 1:06:04
  And they can really swing that
• 1:06:06
  wood.
• 1:06:07
  There's one of them up there
• 1:06:08
  right now.
• 1:06:09
  He's going to do it a home run
• 1:06:10
  his last time up.
• 1:06:15
  Bankhead looking the situation
• 1:06:17
  over now is back to the plate.
• 1:06:20
  The field is deep you bet you
• 1:06:22
  they are with Gordon.
• 1:06:24
  Up there swinging that mace.
• 1:06:26
  They're around in the left field.
• 1:06:28
  Carl Erskine starts walking down
• 1:06:29
  the bullpen.
• 1:06:31
  Bankhead had a fine year last
• 1:06:33
  year at Montreal he won 20 ball
• 1:06:35
  games and lost six.
• 1:06:37
  He's rather a willowy fellow
• 1:06:39
  with a very good move.
• 1:06:42
  He shows you a lot of motion out
• 1:06:44
  there and that ball comes
• 1:06:45
  whiskey and out of nowhere.
• 1:06:47
  Really good kick to spins come
• 1:06:49
  down the curve ball to Gordon.
• 1:06:51
  I'm going to play.
• 1:06:55
  One of the score favor of the
• 1:06:58
  Braves from Beans.
• 1:07:04
  Bankhead now to his stop
• 1:07:06
  position runners on it first and
• 1:07:07
  third.
• 1:07:09
  Spins comes in with a curveball
• 1:07:10
  and is over.
• 1:07:11
  And.
• 1:07:19
  Larry gets the ball.
• 1:07:20
  What a beauty.
• 1:07:24
  Like to.
• 1:07:25
  Erskine is now often showing
• 1:07:27
  down on the Dodger bullpen.
• 1:07:28
  Billy Southworth.
• 1:07:30
  Hoping for a little more
• 1:07:30
  business.
• 1:07:31
  Coaching down here at third base.
• 1:07:34
  Johnny Cooney is over at first
• 1:07:35
  today.
• 1:07:35
  He alternates with Jimmy Brown.
• 1:07:37
  Former Cardinal captain.
• 1:07:39
  And.
• 1:07:42
  Bankhead ready to deliver the
• 1:07:43
  strike to pitch now.
• 1:07:44
  Now he comes to Gordon and he
• 1:07:45
  takes a half.
• 1:07:47
  The.
• 1:07:48
  Goes right into the Dodgers
• 1:07:49
  dugout.
• 1:07:54
  You all can be here.
• 1:07:55
  Correctly.
• 1:07:55
  Went right down that ramp.
• 1:07:56
  Center.
• 1:08:02
  Just did a home run of the
• 1:08:03
  sixth inning with one on his
• 1:08:05
  fourth of the year.
• 1:08:06
  We know that Philadelphia
• 1:08:08
  has a six to one.
• 1:08:09
  The.
• 1:08:10
  Last half of the six.
• 1:08:14
  Bankhead set to work again.
• 1:08:15
  Come down the big.
• 1:08:16
  Curve.
• 1:08:18
  Bow.
• 1:08:20
  Way back in the left field.
• 1:08:21
  Seat.
• 1:08:23
  Or just one out ahead of the.
• 1:08:25
  Bit too much.
• 1:08:26
  Pull it.
• 1:08:27
  Bow.
• 1:08:30
  The Braves leading four to
• 1:08:31
  nothing.
• 1:08:33
  Top half of the fifth inning.
• 1:08:34
  The.
• 1:08:35
  Left.
• 1:08:36
  Center.
• 1:08:37
  Really.
• 1:08:38
  Going steady with that left
• 1:08:39
  center field fence out there.
• 1:08:40
  And.
• 1:08:41
  Gordon.
• 1:08:42
  Way around.
• 1:08:45
  Be up in the stands.
• 1:08:46
  Do more.
• 1:08:47
  This.
• 1:08:49
  Bankhead working on a tough
• 1:08:50
  hitter said Gordon.
• 1:08:53
  Out of the pitch.
• 1:08:54
  First.
• 1:08:55
  Ball.
• 1:09:01
  Bankhead.
• 1:09:02
  Really let him have it.
• 1:09:03
  He's got a good pitch on Saturday
• 1:09:04
  afternoon and got him.
• 1:09:05
  Swinging.
• 1:09:08
  One out.
• 1:09:10
  And brings up.
• 1:09:11
  Willard Marshall.
• 1:09:15
  Marshall hitting a two six seven.
• 1:09:21
  Bankhead.
• 1:09:22
  Try to.
• 1:09:24
  Help the Brooklands here.
• 1:09:25
  Get out of this bad spot.
• 1:09:28
  One run already in.
• 1:09:29
  Runners on it first.
• 1:09:30
  And at third.
• 1:09:31
  One out.
• 1:09:32
  And.
• 1:09:33
  Marshall up.
• 1:09:35
  Left down here.
• 1:09:36
  It's like a curve that is low
• 1:09:37
  for the ball one.
• 1:09:40
  Willard has twenty four base
• 1:09:42
  hits.
• 1:09:43
  Couple of home runs.
• 1:09:45
  And he's one for two this
• 1:09:46
  afternoon.
• 1:09:48
  Single his first time up but
• 1:09:49
  that was a little pop fly the
• 1:09:51
  grease lost in the sun.
• 1:09:56
  Bankhead comes in with his
• 1:09:58
  pitch.
• 1:09:59
  Outside.
• 1:10:00
  And.
• 1:10:02
  Dan is pitching away from.
• 1:10:03
  Marshall.
• 1:10:04
  Hoping to cut down his power to
• 1:10:06
  pull the ball.
• 1:10:09
  Although the defensive set up
• 1:10:10
  for Brooklyn at the outfield
• 1:10:11
  around toward the right to the
• 1:10:12
  line.
• 1:10:15
  Would.
• 1:10:16
  Post about everything he gets
• 1:10:17
  his stick on.
• 1:10:18
  Big and strong.
• 1:10:21
  Now the two nothing pitch.
• 1:10:22
  One on and.
• 1:10:23
  Cut foul.
• 1:10:26
  Back up over the.
• 1:10:27
  Brave Wigwam and back into the
• 1:10:29
  game.
• 1:10:30
  And.
• 1:10:31
  The.
• 1:10:32
  Ball to strike one.
• 1:10:36
  Top of the fifth running.
• 1:10:38
  Four to nothing Boston.
• 1:10:42
  The mother you drive sugar
• 1:10:43
  crispier.
• 1:10:45
  Or if you haven't.
• 1:10:47
  Put that right on top of your
• 1:10:48
  grocery list.
• 1:10:52
  Back and working diligently
• 1:10:54
  here on a tough man.
• 1:10:55
  Send the fastball outside the
• 1:10:57
  ball three.
• 1:10:59
  First.
• 1:11:00
  To warm up.
• 1:11:04
  Maybe.
• 1:11:05
  Shot.
• 1:11:06
  Will want the pitch hitter for
• 1:11:08
  Bankhead will be the second round
• 1:11:09
  up in the last half of the
• 1:11:10
  fifth inning.
• 1:11:11
  First.
• 1:11:12
  Getting tuned up.
• 1:11:13
  Got him on the back of the
• 1:11:14
  stove.
• 1:11:17
  Back at right deliver now three
• 1:11:18
  one.
• 1:11:21
  Shucks.
• 1:11:22
  One of its first base.
• 1:11:23
  And there goes Elliott the pitch.
• 1:11:24
  High.
• 1:11:26
  And this one.
• 1:11:27
  Is.
• 1:11:28
  Up.
• 1:11:29
  Against.
• 1:11:30
  The.
• 1:11:31
  In the score.
• 1:11:32
  Comes.
• 1:11:33
  Targas.
• 1:11:34
  Right in the back of him.
• 1:11:37
  Comes.
• 1:11:38
  Elliott and so.
• 1:11:39
  It is now.
• 1:11:41
  Three runs in.
• 1:11:42
  Bankhead got by one man.
• 1:11:44
  With a big booming tipple by
• 1:11:46
  Marshall off the right
• 1:11:47
  center field fence gets two more
• 1:11:49
  in.
• 1:11:50
  Targas and Elliott.
• 1:11:52
  Come home to the roof.
• 1:11:55
  Marshall his second hit.
• 1:11:56
  A couple of runs about it and
• 1:11:57
  gives him now a total of 16.
• 1:12:00
  These.
• 1:12:01
  Blackholders.
• 1:12:05
  Six to nothing.
• 1:12:06
  Favor of Boston.
• 1:12:08
  Not bad for the fifth inning.
• 1:12:10
  Better wait for the call on that
• 1:12:11
  because.
• 1:12:12
  For a while it took back there
• 1:12:13
  might be enough to carry to get
• 1:12:14
  the ball.
• 1:12:15
  And.
• 1:12:16
  The.
• 1:12:17
  Wall is not a practically crawl
• 1:12:20
  up.
• 1:12:21
  Rob.
• 1:12:22
  It.
• 1:12:24
  Up there now is Big Cooper.
• 1:12:26
  Walker.
• 1:12:27
  Swings at the fly ball the
• 1:12:28
  center.
• 1:12:29
  Looks like it's going to be deep
• 1:12:30
  enough to get this run in there
• 1:12:31
  started making a terrible.
• 1:12:33
  Here comes Marshall tugging of
• 1:12:34
  the plate and he makes it easy.
• 1:12:40
  Number four.
• 1:12:41
  Comes over.
• 1:12:43
  And.
• 1:12:44
  The.
• 1:12:45
  Number four.
• 1:12:47
  Comes over.
• 1:12:50
  Seven to nothing.
• 1:12:55
  Bravely the Dodgers here at
• 1:12:57
  Evans Field.
• 1:13:00
  Thought to run about it and for
• 1:13:01
  a big Cooper.
• 1:13:06
  Brings up.
• 1:13:07
  Sivy Sisti.
• 1:13:09
  The second baseman.
• 1:13:11
  He got a chance to play as you
• 1:13:12
  have to come up with a base hit
• 1:13:13
  and a three.
• 1:13:18
  To.
• 1:13:20
  Back in with a curve ball up to
• 1:13:22
  my.
• 1:13:23
  One.
• 1:13:26
  I just got a lot of work to do.
• 1:13:29
  Really.
• 1:13:30
  Seven to nothing.
• 1:13:34
  About the fifth inning.
• 1:13:38
  That kid spins in with a curve
• 1:13:40
  ball and gets it through for a
• 1:13:41
  strike.
• 1:13:49
  Raise him counted four times
• 1:13:50
  here in the top half of the
• 1:13:51
  fifth inning.
• 1:13:52
  And they're still at it.
• 1:13:53
  Two out.
• 1:13:56
  A little looper hit out back the
• 1:13:58
  second race goes over.
• 1:14:01
  Down goes Peeley.
• 1:14:02
  And Robinson gets the ball.
• 1:14:04
  I think it hurts.
• 1:14:06
  Reese went charging over Jack
• 1:14:08
  went after the ball.
• 1:14:09
  The two of.
• 1:14:10
  The first right back to second
• 1:14:11
  base and they smacked.
• 1:14:13
  Robinson got the ball but.
• 1:14:14
  Reese.
• 1:14:15
  Had the wind knocked out of the
• 1:14:16
  bat.
• 1:14:17
  Printer one.
• 1:14:19
  Billy Southworth the Braves.
• 1:14:21
  A few more of them are running
• 1:14:22
  out there.
• 1:14:24
  Dodgers of course are all around
• 1:14:26
  there.
• 1:14:28
  Little captain.
• 1:14:30
  And he's got jobs.
• 1:14:31
  Boy that was a bang bang.
• 1:14:34
  He's going to like run into a
• 1:14:35
  brick wall.
• 1:14:36
  Peeley was not looking and he
• 1:14:38
  just kept going after the ball
• 1:14:40
  and Jack came on to both of them
• 1:14:42
  watching the point of it.
• 1:14:44
  And.
• 1:14:45
  Together.
• 1:14:46
  Now.
• 1:14:47
  He was up.
• 1:14:48
  Walking around.
• 1:14:53
  Everywhere.
• 1:14:54
  Folks are talking about the new
• 1:14:55
  cereal sensation called sugar
• 1:14:56
  crisp.
• 1:14:57
  Yes sir.
• 1:14:58
  And sugar crisp is really
• 1:14:59
  something to talk about.
• 1:15:01
  And entirely new cereal that's
• 1:15:02
  more than a cereal.
• 1:15:04
  As a cereal it's dandy for
• 1:15:05
  snacks it's handy or eat it like
• 1:15:07
  candy.
• 1:15:08
  Sugar crisp you see is wholesome
• 1:15:10
  puffed wheat with a delicious
• 1:15:11
  coating of sugar and honey.
• 1:15:14
  Now for your breakfast.
• 1:15:15
  Why you just pour milk or cream
• 1:15:17
  on top and.
• 1:15:18
  Skip the sugar.
• 1:15:19
  Eat.
• 1:15:20
  This.
• 1:15:21
  And you're going to enjoy sugar
• 1:15:23
  crisp between meals for a
• 1:15:24
  special snack.
• 1:15:25
  I'll take it along wherever you
• 1:15:26
  go.
• 1:15:27
  I just eat it out of the bag like
• 1:15:28
  candy.
• 1:15:30
  So it's better to keep the
• 1:15:31
  family.
• 1:15:32
  The post sugar crisp right away
• 1:15:33
  mom.
• 1:15:34
  How about this Saturday
• 1:15:35
  afternoon.
• 1:15:36
  I'll take it to the store.
• 1:15:37
  It's still open.
• 1:15:38
  Yes sir.
• 1:15:39
  By several bags.
• 1:15:40
  And then just watch him
• 1:15:41
  disappear.
• 1:15:42
  So look for sugar crisp.
• 1:15:43
  At your friend the grocers.
• 1:15:44
  In the big red white and blue
• 1:15:45
  cellophane bag.
• 1:15:46
  Well we got the last half of the
• 1:15:47
  fifth inning coming along.
• 1:15:48
  It's quite a collision.
• 1:15:49
  Don't.
• 1:15:50
  Want.
• 1:15:51
  To.
• 1:15:52
  Walk out of the door in the
• 1:15:53
  middle of the night.
• 1:15:54
  Wow.
• 1:15:55
  The peewees are.
• 1:15:56
  Doc Wendler motioned up to our
• 1:16:07
  booth here.
• 1:16:08
  He says that he got up around
• 1:16:09
  the windpipe knocked his wind
• 1:16:10
  out of.
• 1:16:11
  Edwards up there takes the first
• 1:16:12
  pitch over for a strike.
• 1:16:13
  To fourth is motioning down to
• 1:16:14
  the bullpen for us to get tuned
• 1:16:15
  up.
• 1:16:16
  Looks like.
• 1:16:17
  They're going to hit for.
• 1:16:18
  Mike.
• 1:16:19
  I need to run.
• 1:16:20
  Doc.
• 1:16:21
  I'm going to get.
• 1:16:22
  Nothing.
• 1:16:26
  Boston seven.
• 1:16:27
  Last half of the fifth inning
• 1:16:28
  Edwards up there trying to get
• 1:16:29
  them a start five to thirty one
• 1:16:30
  this is average.
• 1:16:31
  Swings and lines just one right.
• 1:16:32
  Third base.
• 1:16:53
  And bank has now is coming up
• 1:16:55
  the hit.
• 1:16:56
  Follow the motion from the
• 1:16:57
  bullpen.
• 1:16:58
  Mr.
• 1:16:59
  Erskine.
• 1:17:00
  He's got a little bit of a
• 1:17:02
  head walking up.
• 1:17:03
  No.
• 1:17:04
  He's going to love it.
• 1:17:05
  So Sam Laird is ready to go sit
• 1:17:06
  down and now they do.
• 1:17:10
  My kid was pretty good hitter.
• 1:17:12
  One for seven so far this year
• 1:17:14
  about one forty three.
• 1:17:15
  First day in Eversfield at a
• 1:17:16
  home run.
• 1:17:20
  Right hand batter.
• 1:17:21
  Swings on the first pitch.
• 1:17:23
  High foul back on the plate.
• 1:17:35
  And.
• 1:17:36
  We.
• 1:17:37
  I guess is going to take the
• 1:17:38
  rest of the afternoon off.
• 1:17:39
  Eddie McPherson over at the
• 1:17:40
  bat rack.
• 1:17:41
  Boy that was quite a bump.
• 1:17:45
  And.
• 1:17:46
  Still hasn't found his favorite
• 1:17:47
  stick yet.
• 1:17:48
  So.
• 1:17:49
  He's got a little bit of a
• 1:17:53
  head.
• 1:17:54
  Is.
• 1:17:55
  The.
• 1:17:56
  Afternoon.
• 1:17:57
  We got any further word while
• 1:17:58
  we're passing along to you about
• 1:17:59
  feeling.
• 1:18:00
  Wall.
• 1:18:01
  Of.
• 1:18:02
  A.
• 1:18:03
  Mixers.
• 1:18:06
  He's going to hit for each and
• 1:18:07
  unknowingly will take over
• 1:18:08
  shortstop.
• 1:18:11
  Yet he mixes one of the five
• 1:18:13
  leather men in the game.
• 1:18:16
  So.
• 1:18:17
  Boy you can't let a guy like
• 1:18:19
  this go.
• 1:18:20
  Takes the first pitch on the
• 1:18:22
  corner for a strike to off.
• 1:18:25
  Nobody on the Dodgers behind
• 1:18:27
  seven or nothing and Vernon
• 1:18:28
  Bickford who has beaten them
• 1:18:29
  three times since he came in the
• 1:18:30
  league.
• 1:18:31
  Got himself pretty good day.
• 1:18:33
  Curves fall out of us and high
• 1:18:34
  out the left field.
• 1:18:35
  Other it is Gordon waiting now
• 1:18:37
  looking up into this tough sky
• 1:18:39
  and takes it for the out.
• 1:18:40
  Well as a rainmaker.
• 1:18:44
  No three up three down.
• 1:18:46
  The Dodgers take the field now.
• 1:18:48
  The faces Boston attacked it has
• 1:18:50
  been rather rough this afternoon.
• 1:18:52
  What tomorrow.
• 1:18:54
  The seven runs so far.
• 1:18:58
  Already do.
• 1:18:59
  Serve up.
• 1:19:00
  The all redhead again with our
• 1:19:02
  post serial scoreboard and it's
• 1:19:04
  funny on it.
• 1:19:06
  The end of six innings the fill
• 1:19:08
  is.
• 1:19:09
  Leading six to one over the
• 1:19:11
  Giants system and it's his home
• 1:19:13
  run.
• 1:19:14
  And the three innings the
• 1:19:15
  Dodgers have had to do one.
• 1:19:17
  Since Saturday St. Louis tonight
• 1:19:19
  the American League the
• 1:19:20
  athletics failed to score their
• 1:19:21
  first to battle with the stadium
• 1:19:23
  the Yankees are now hitting why
• 1:19:25
  are you pitching for the A's
• 1:19:26
  against the Rashi of New York.
• 1:19:29
  This has been a very significant
• 1:19:31
  afternoon at the stadium.
• 1:19:32
  Well this has been the ball game
• 1:19:34
  in honor of Ed Farrar and the
• 1:19:37
  Yankees you know won all those
• 1:19:39
  pennants.
• 1:19:40
  While Barrow was the fellow
• 1:19:41
  putting them together.
• 1:19:42
  And.
• 1:19:44
  So a player from each of the
• 1:19:45
  former Yankee pundits winning
• 1:19:47
  teams under Ed Barrow was there
• 1:19:49
  today and a player from each of
• 1:19:51
  the National League teams that
• 1:19:52
  opposed the Yankee teams in the
• 1:19:53
  World Series was also there.
• 1:19:55
  So there's a great deal of
• 1:19:56
  sentiment there.
• 1:19:57
  And I don't know of a finer
• 1:19:59
  tribute to be paid to a more
• 1:20:01
  deserving person than the
• 1:20:02
  tribute to have a day in honor
• 1:20:04
  of Ed Farrar at Yankee Stadium
• 1:20:06
  be more than any other
• 1:20:07
  individual built it.
• 1:20:09
  And five and a half innings the
• 1:20:11
  Red Sox lead Washington.
• 1:20:13
  Two to nothing.
• 1:20:14
  And at the end of four and a
• 1:20:15
  half innings the White Sox are
• 1:20:16
  the Indians two to one.
• 1:20:17
  What's the score here Connie?
• 1:20:19
  Seven to nothing.
• 1:20:21
  As unnatural as far as the
• 1:20:22
  Brooklyn fans are concerned.
• 1:20:24
  What's the score here Connie?
• 1:20:26
  Seven to nothing.
• 1:20:28
  As unnatural as far as the
• 1:20:30
  Brooklyn fans are concerned.
• 1:20:32
  The Braves out on top.
• 1:20:34
  Buddy Kerr leading off against
• 1:20:35
  the back head here takes the
• 1:20:36
  first pitch high outside the
• 1:20:37
  ball one.
• 1:20:43
  Outfield pretty much straight
• 1:20:44
  away.
• 1:20:45
  In field normal.
• 1:20:46
  Nexus down at third and Cox
• 1:20:48
  moves over to shortstop.
• 1:20:49
  Kerr swings a miss.
• 1:20:51
  Oh a strike one.
• 1:20:54
  So Eddie's a handy man to have
• 1:20:55
  around on your bench.
• 1:20:56
  Reese in the collision with
• 1:20:57
  Robinson had to take the rest of
• 1:20:59
  the afternoon off.
• 1:21:02
  Banged his wing pipe.
• 1:21:05
  The one one pitch Kerr
• 1:21:07
  punched out on the third
• 1:21:08
  baseline.
• 1:21:09
  Mixers grabbed it close to first
• 1:21:11
  hit.
• 1:21:16
  I'll tell you that Mixers can
• 1:21:17
  handle it.
• 1:21:18
  Sleuthers.
• 1:21:22
  All of a lot of ballclubs like
• 1:21:23
  to have him around on their
• 1:21:24
  bench.
• 1:21:25
  Not only on their bench and
• 1:21:27
  quiz.
• 1:21:31
  The Braves run Big Bird.
• 1:21:36
  He said out the Dodgers for five
• 1:21:41
  innings.
• 1:21:44
  Mates have gone off and got
• 1:21:45
  seven runs off half the bank
• 1:21:47
  head.
• 1:21:48
  Fastball is high inside ball one.
• 1:21:52
  Big Bird has a hitter is one for
• 1:21:54
  13 average of 0 7 7.
• 1:22:00
  He's got a little bit of a
• 1:22:01
  split big hole in left center.
• 1:22:03
  Big Bird takes under the hand
• 1:22:05
  ball to Schumer is playing a
• 1:22:10
  normal straightaway left field
• 1:22:12
  but Snider's played it over a
• 1:22:13
  bit towards right center.
• 1:22:15
  There's a big area out there
• 1:22:16
  between the center guard and the
• 1:22:17
  left fielder.
• 1:22:19
  Now the two nothing pitch and
• 1:22:20
  this one is inside.
• 1:22:23
  All three.
• 1:22:25
  We're going to play around on
• 1:22:26
  the right side of the bank.
• 1:22:31
  Get in relief of Joe.
• 1:22:40
  That right deliver the three
• 1:22:41
  nothing push down she comes to
• 1:22:42
  high.
• 1:22:44
  Those are the first base.
• 1:22:47
  First walk of an up by.
• 1:22:51
  Struck out one.
• 1:22:55
  And then the ball to just go.
• 1:22:56
  Now coming up to hit left
• 1:22:58
  handed against this right
• 1:23:00
  hander.
• 1:23:02
  Then targets and walk Elliott
• 1:23:04
  single.
• 1:23:08
  Under bank head.
• 1:23:09
  Stuck out the first man.
• 1:23:11
  Big Lumberman said Gordon and
• 1:23:13
  then Marshall packed in for a
• 1:23:14
  triple.
• 1:23:17
  The inning was all over and
• 1:23:18
  smoke died down and four runs
• 1:23:20
  in the top of the fifth inning.
• 1:23:21
  Just throw up there.
• 1:23:23
  And then just a high five all
• 1:23:25
  deep back in the left center
• 1:23:26
  field.
• 1:23:27
  So they started racing way way
• 1:23:28
  back.
• 1:23:29
  And it is.
• 1:23:39
  For a minute and we're going to
• 1:23:40
  have another one of those.
• 1:23:43
  There are both converging on
• 1:23:45
  that baseball was it deep back
• 1:23:47
  in the left center field and
• 1:23:48
  that gave the crowd here that
• 1:23:50
  field.
• 1:23:54
  Earl Torgerson.
• 1:23:56
  First baseman is up now batting
• 1:23:58
  at two ninety five twenty three
• 1:24:00
  base hits.
• 1:24:03
  Burned back for it on it first
• 1:24:04
  base to off top half of the six
• 1:24:06
  seven and nothing.
• 1:24:07
  Favor the Braves first of a
• 1:24:08
  three game series.
• 1:24:13
  I feel playing big target to
• 1:24:15
  pull the ball towards right
• 1:24:18
  curveball don't overhand low
• 1:24:19
  from all one.
• 1:24:29
  Torgerson is one for two
• 1:24:30
  officially this afternoon.
• 1:24:32
  Granted a second single and
• 1:24:34
  walk.
• 1:24:36
  Bickford on our first.
• 1:24:40
  Which is on the corner for
• 1:24:41
  strike.
• 1:24:43
  Thank you.
• 1:24:44
  Outside corner.
• 1:24:46
  The other side of the field
• 1:24:49
  field is not on the back.
• 1:24:52
  Pulling it against the
• 1:24:53
  Bickford back in his fielding
• 1:24:55
  depth with a left hand hitter
• 1:24:57
  up there.
• 1:24:58
  Pull that ball.
• 1:24:59
  And his second.
• 1:25:02
  And out the last second
• 1:25:03
  Torgerson gets something in his
• 1:25:04
  heart steps up.
• 1:25:07
  All one strike one.
• 1:25:11
  Guy really takes a toll.
• 1:25:14
  He keeps it down very slowly
• 1:25:16
  comes in with a high pitch
• 1:25:17
  outside.
• 1:25:19
  Pull the string on it.
• 1:25:20
  Couldn't get it through and
• 1:25:21
  ball to strike one.
• 1:25:22
  Billy Southworth coaching down
• 1:25:24
  the third.
• 1:25:26
  Donnie Cooney who finished up
• 1:25:28
  managing the ballclub last year
• 1:25:30
  is at first base.
• 1:25:35
  Back and ready to serve to one
• 1:25:36
  to Torgerson does and it's over
• 1:25:38
  for call for two.
• 1:25:41
  Here is the official attendance
• 1:25:43
  of the Bickford team.
• 1:25:45
  Nineteen thousand four
• 1:25:47
  hundred and eighty eight one
• 1:25:49
  nine four eight eight.
• 1:25:52
  Top of the six to out the count
• 1:25:53
  to two on Torgerson.
• 1:25:57
  Bickford leads away from
• 1:25:58
  first base back in.
• 1:26:01
  Pitches in there and it's over
• 1:26:03
  for call strike two.
• 1:26:04
  Well this is a little
• 1:26:05
  terrible.
• 1:26:06
  It's not true there.
• 1:26:07
  And this is Torgerson caught
• 1:26:08
  with his bat on his shoulder.
• 1:26:09
  So it is no runs.
• 1:26:12
  Bickford left on the grid
• 1:26:14
  walking one away and they left
• 1:26:15
  the first base.
• 1:26:17
  Now once again here's Red Barber.
• 1:26:19
  I bet the folks all over the
• 1:26:20
  country listening to this
• 1:26:21
  post-serial broadcast.
• 1:26:22
  One in a while we're going to
• 1:26:24
  talk about post-toasters.
• 1:26:25
  Well now is a good time.
• 1:26:27
  Never a better time.
• 1:26:29
  Post-toasters.
• 1:26:30
  Boy I'm telling you that's a big
• 1:26:32
  hit in the Breakfast League and
• 1:26:34
  that's the reliable hit.
• 1:26:36
  Post-toasters.
• 1:26:37
  A long record of just making
• 1:26:39
  happy appetites happy.
• 1:26:41
  The friends you've tried
• 1:26:42
  post-toasters and judge for
• 1:26:43
  yourself and see if they are
• 1:26:45
  better than any other cornflakes
• 1:26:46
  you ever ate.
• 1:26:47
  You'll find there's a world of
• 1:26:48
  difference in cornflakes and
• 1:26:50
  it's post-toasting that makes
• 1:26:52
  the difference.
• 1:26:53
  Yes ma'am you'll notice a
• 1:26:55
  delicious grand tasting
• 1:26:56
  difference in every spoonful of
• 1:26:58
  post-toasters.
• 1:26:59
  They're extra good extra tasty
• 1:27:01
  and extra fresh.
• 1:27:02
  So next time it's a ghosted
• 1:27:04
  don't you say cornflakes.
• 1:27:06
  You just ask the man for
• 1:27:07
  post-toasters yeah.
• 1:27:08
  The better cornflakes.
• 1:27:10
  Another famous post-serial
• 1:27:11
  guaranteed threat.
• 1:27:14
  George Schuba leading off and
• 1:27:15
  he can't get away from the
• 1:27:16
  curve ball.
• 1:27:17
  He hits him right on his number
• 1:27:19
  eight.
• 1:27:20
  And after the junior ball.
• 1:27:22
  And he's on the first base the
• 1:27:23
  hard way.
• 1:27:25
  Schuba hit by a pitch.
• 1:27:28
  Bickford broke off a great big
• 1:27:29
  rainbow.
• 1:27:32
  Almost broke Schuba off too.
• 1:27:37
  Well Snyder is up.
• 1:27:38
  Seven and nothing score.
• 1:27:43
  The Dodgers have not scored in
• 1:27:44
  the last 19 innings shut out by
• 1:27:46
  Raffensperger and didn't score
• 1:27:47
  in the last five innings at
• 1:27:49
  Pittsburgh.
• 1:27:51
  Pitch is over to Snyder for a
• 1:27:52
  strike.
• 1:27:54
  Oh that's a long time.
• 1:27:57
  They are running ground.
• 1:27:59
  19 innings.
• 1:28:00
  Schub will be wondering when
• 1:28:02
  we're going to get the first
• 1:28:03
  one.
• 1:28:05
  Bickford ahead Bob and his
• 1:28:06
  pitch can dash one on pull to
• 1:28:08
  the right side.
• 1:28:09
  Sissy up with it.
• 1:28:10
  Goes to first and they get one.
• 1:28:12
  The ball was not hit too
• 1:28:13
  sharply.
• 1:28:14
  So they made sure of the front
• 1:28:16
  man.
• 1:28:17
  Cardinal rule in baseball.
• 1:28:18
  Snyder hitting into a forced
• 1:28:19
  play.
• 1:28:20
  Sissy the second baseman to
• 1:28:21
  buddy curve the shortstop.
• 1:28:23
  So Schuba is erased at the
• 1:28:24
  middle stop.
• 1:28:25
  And it brings up Jackie
• 1:28:27
  Robinson.
• 1:28:28
  Jack batting at three twenty
• 1:28:30
  three.
• 1:28:31
  Walked in the first inning
• 1:28:32
  grounded the second base in the
• 1:28:34
  fourth inning.
• 1:28:35
  And he'll set up a double play
• 1:28:37
  position.
• 1:28:38
  Now the runner on the first base
• 1:28:39
  and one out Snyder leading away
• 1:28:41
  towards the hole in the back
• 1:28:42
  tightly against him.
• 1:28:43
  Bickford takes a look goes in
• 1:28:45
  the Robinson ball right down
• 1:28:47
  below us and red made a big
• 1:28:53
  souvenir home to the driver.
• 1:28:58
  Big bad break down in Boston
• 1:29:01
  having a tea party here.
• 1:29:03
  Last time with a six seven
• 1:29:05
  another.
• 1:29:08
  Big for them with a big run.
• 1:29:09
  Hit down the short.
• 1:29:10
  Her wife one hand pick up
• 1:29:12
  touches like a double play and
• 1:29:14
  there's a three man collision
• 1:29:16
  out in second base.
• 1:29:17
  Sissy and her and then just to
• 1:29:20
  say hello to Duke.
• 1:29:22
  And dug up some of our
• 1:29:23
  ever feel real estate.
• 1:29:25
  They all went down.
• 1:29:27
  Quite a day we're having around
• 1:29:28
  here.
• 1:29:29
  Double play and for the Braves
• 1:29:32
  that is now their 26.
• 1:29:41
  Well friends before we get you
• 1:29:42
  back to the old redhead give you
• 1:29:45

• 1:29:53
  seven things the score is 61 in
• 1:29:55

• 1:29:57
  Cosmo started so Magley in the
• 1:29:59

• 1:30:14
  And it's a two to tie at the end
• 1:30:15
  of the four round.
• 1:30:17
  Cincinnati and St. Louis they'll

• 1:30:21
  tonight.
• 1:30:22
  And the American League
• 1:30:24
  Philadelphia New York as Red told
• 1:30:26

• 1:30:28
  Nothing nothing at the end of
• 1:30:29
  one and a half.
• 1:30:31
  Hooks wise former tough going for
• 1:30:33
  Philadelphia and the crash before
• 1:30:35
  New York.
• 1:30:36
  Boston for Washington.
• 1:30:38
  Nothing at the end of six innings
• 1:30:40
  Gargo and Cleveland.
• 1:30:42
  It's a two one ball game in favor
• 1:30:44
  of the White Sox Bobby Feller
• 1:30:45
  pitching and hit a home run.
• 1:30:47
  And St. Louis and Detroit will
• 1:30:49
  play a little later on.
• 1:30:50
  So that's it.
• 1:30:51
  And now once again I could have
• 1:30:52
  post.
• 1:30:53
  Here's the old redhead Red Ball
• 1:30:55
  and don't you get the
• 1:30:56
  reservation here.
• 1:30:57
  We want to hear from you later
• 1:30:58
  on.
• 1:30:59
  Seventh inning.
• 1:31:00
  My barrier who has.
• 1:31:03
  A pair of singles of three times
• 1:31:05
  up sitting now at two fifty nine
• 1:31:07
  big right hand hitter.
• 1:31:08
  We'll leave the chair back here
• 1:31:09
  ready to go and it's seven all
• 1:31:11
  Boston curveball is in all one
• 1:31:16
  back.
• 1:31:17
  It is a tall lie.
• 1:31:19
  Slender fellow is the first
• 1:31:20
  Negro in the history of the major
• 1:31:22
  leagues to pitch pitch to at
• 1:31:24
  Brooklyn if you recall.
• 1:31:28
  And went down to Montreal back
• 1:31:30
  again.
• 1:31:31
  Curve over.
• 1:31:33
  All strike one and one.
• 1:31:35
  Johnny Antonelli is throwing
• 1:31:37
  down on the Boston bullpen.
• 1:31:39
  Detroit for remains to be seen.
• 1:31:41
  At any rate he's keeping ready.
• 1:31:44
  Although as far as the Dodgers
• 1:31:45
  are concerned bigs have been too
• 1:31:46
  rough.
• 1:31:49
  I feel around to a left on Bob
• 1:31:51
  who pulls the ball.
• 1:31:53
  It's a hard up that way.
• 1:31:55
  Fastball is very high.
• 1:31:57
  It's just a reach up.
• 1:31:59
  And mid on it.
• 1:32:00
  Pull it down.
• 1:32:01
  Good one.
• 1:32:02
  The strong wind which is not
• 1:32:04
  let up.
• 1:32:05
  This is going in the dust.
• 1:32:06
  It's just constant blows from
• 1:32:08
  right field into the left field
• 1:32:10
  corner off the first base to
• 1:32:12
  third base.
• 1:32:15
  Thank you.
• 1:32:16
  Two and one.
• 1:32:24
  The Braves are running the first
• 1:32:25
  inning two runs in the third and
• 1:32:27
  four in the fifth.
• 1:32:30
  The first run was a gift from
• 1:32:31
  Tuck Scott.
• 1:32:33
  The next six have been blasted.
• 1:32:37
  The Braves had anybody hit in the
• 1:32:38
  single it sort of puny.
• 1:32:43
  Thank you.
• 1:32:44
  The Braves do a curse.
• 1:32:53
  I just have to go around this
• 1:32:54
  first game of the long home
• 1:32:56
  stand.
• 1:33:00
  Great to tomorrow afternoon.
• 1:33:02
  A lot of Collins a business
• 1:33:04
  manager.
• 1:33:05
  I just sit and wait to go.
• 1:33:07
  Serial box.
• 1:33:08
  There are 12,000 seats all
• 1:33:10
  the time.
• 1:33:15
  One out and said Gordon got a
• 1:33:16
  big home run earlier.
• 1:33:17
  Takes a fastball high inside
• 1:33:18
  ball.
• 1:33:20
  Sydney walked in the first
• 1:33:21
  inning and banged the two run
• 1:33:23
  home run.
• 1:33:27
  That was the sugar crisp.
• 1:33:28
  I did the third.
• 1:33:34
  The Braves are running the
• 1:33:40
  second inning two.
• 1:33:44
  The bank had delivered.
• 1:33:47
  You talk about some moves.
• 1:33:49
  Remember you have to see this
• 1:33:50
  bank.
• 1:33:52
  He pitches it all he does.
• 1:33:53
  Hasn't got a ball in his body.
• 1:34:00
  And Jackson down to an all
• 1:34:01
  the ball three.
• 1:34:06
  Eddie the pan who is one of the
• 1:34:07
  old settlers among the Reuters
• 1:34:09
  here in Good Fork.
• 1:34:14
  Down there hollering at Desmond.
• 1:34:19
  You know the catch fastball
• 1:34:20
  high inside.
• 1:34:29
  You folks out around the country
• 1:34:30
  anytime you come in this make
• 1:34:31
  of the word.
• 1:34:32
  You're in the second look up
• 1:34:33
  and see if the dog is the home
• 1:34:35
  where he just haven't been to
• 1:34:36
  New York to call if you haven't
• 1:34:38
  got to that field.
• 1:34:40
  You haven't seen a ball game
• 1:34:41
  in Brooklyn.
• 1:34:42
  You just haven't seen one.
• 1:34:45
  You're not the only one like
• 1:34:46
  the 10.
• 1:34:48
  You know you're in a place that
• 1:34:49
  is jumping.
• 1:34:51
  Never as all day.
• 1:34:54
  It's going to happen.
• 1:34:55
  It'll happen here.
• 1:34:58
  All right.
• 1:35:01
  It's tripled.
• 1:35:02
  Not to end.
• 1:35:03
  I'll thank you.
• 1:35:04
  You would call it.
• 1:35:05
  That's that.
• 1:35:06
  Well, let's get a swing.
• 1:35:08
  I've already got the right to
• 1:35:09
  go at the base of the scoreboard.
• 1:35:13
  Makes the catch.
• 1:35:14
  Go to the second base.
• 1:35:16
  The wind held out just enough
• 1:35:19
  to make it.
• 1:35:21
  The wind today.
• 1:35:22
  That ball would have been
• 1:35:23
  a good one.
• 1:35:28
  The dimensions down the right
• 1:35:29
  field wall to 97 right down
• 1:35:31
  the right field line.
• 1:35:33
  It is three ninety five in the
• 1:35:34
  right center field corner.
• 1:35:36
  It is three ninety three in the
• 1:35:38
  left center field corner.
• 1:35:39
  It is three fifty one in back of
• 1:35:41
  left field and then the straight
• 1:35:42
  down the left field power line.
• 1:35:44
  It's three forty eight double
• 1:35:46
  back stands all the way around
• 1:35:48
  except for directly behind
• 1:35:49
  right field.
• 1:35:50
  That's where the famous ball
• 1:35:51
  goes.
• 1:35:56
  Swings and misses.
• 1:35:57
  He has to hit the three at that
• 1:36:00
  is where he batted in the run.
• 1:36:03
  And then that seven.
• 1:36:08
  Big guys being in the end.
• 1:36:10
  I feel around.
• 1:36:11
  Good left.
• 1:36:12
  They will sit Gordon Cooper
• 1:36:13
  swing the ball over the
• 1:36:15
  wall.
• 1:36:27
  It's a big double ball.
• 1:36:28
  Good one.
• 1:36:29
  It's banged it off the left
• 1:36:30
  field wall three hundred forty
• 1:36:31
  eight feet away.
• 1:36:32
  It was a great story.
• 1:36:33
  Bangs in to makes it now.
• 1:36:40
  Eight to nothing in favor of
• 1:36:42
  Boston.
• 1:36:44
  The first six rounds charged
• 1:36:46
  as part of Joe.
• 1:36:48
  The next really good bank
• 1:36:50
  head to end on the football
• 1:36:53
  group.
• 1:36:54
  So fast that one.
• 1:36:58
  And I think he likes to play
• 1:36:59
  for South.
• 1:37:03
  And that second day.
• 1:37:04
  But he's getting back again.
• 1:37:07
  There is a system.
• 1:37:17
  Fielding field.
• 1:37:18
  Right hand here.
• 1:37:19
  Pretty good.
• 1:37:28
  Maybe the shot wants to come to
• 1:37:30
  work in a new show today.
• 1:37:32
  We'll see.
• 1:37:34
  I know that and now they
• 1:37:37
  continue to try and let you
• 1:37:38
  talk to the great.
• 1:37:42
  What's on top.
• 1:37:43
  Hey, all.
• 1:37:45
  Looking for their first win
• 1:37:46
  over the year.
• 1:37:47
  Brooklyn suffered two games
• 1:37:48
  series at Boston earlier.
• 1:37:51
  One oh pitch.
• 1:37:52
  The ball to.
• 1:38:07
  Johnny Cooney.
• 1:38:10
  Sounds like that has my most
• 1:38:12
  complete admiration.
• 1:38:17
  So.
• 1:38:22
  Had to beat himself.
• 1:38:25
  Twice.
• 1:38:29
  You know the hardest thing in
• 1:38:30
  the world is for a man to beat
• 1:38:31
  himself.
• 1:38:33
  He went out of the major
• 1:38:34
  leagues.
• 1:38:35
  One time, you know, he was
• 1:38:36
  the manager of the cardinals.
• 1:38:37
  But all the way down to the
• 1:38:38
  bottom never start up again.
• 1:38:39
  Last evil.
• 1:38:43
  Just won his own fight.
• 1:38:44
  Came back to be manager of
• 1:38:45
  the cardinals again and won
• 1:38:46
  the first time.
• 1:38:47
  He was in the first place
• 1:38:48
  championship on the ball.
• 1:38:50
  Pitch inside.
• 1:38:52
  And if it was one thing on the
• 1:38:54
  face of the earth, the South
• 1:38:55
  was loved.
• 1:38:56
  Love that son of his.
• 1:38:58
  And he was a great boy.
• 1:38:59
  He was worth that devotion.
• 1:39:01
  And he had a fine wall record.
• 1:39:04
  And then you would fall.
• 1:39:05
  What awful one way landing
• 1:39:07
  the body field his body wasn't
• 1:39:09
  found for months and saw
• 1:39:11
  the ball.
• 1:39:16
  Three one pitch now to 60.
• 1:39:17
  Low.
• 1:39:22
  He's a boy based on the
• 1:39:23
  world.
• 1:39:24
  That's three walks given up by
• 1:39:25
  a bank head.
• 1:39:26
  Should you say it looks
• 1:39:27
  slightly less than brilliant
• 1:39:28
  and you believe the son.
• 1:39:31
  Of course, the testing points
• 1:39:32
  can you throw the ball at all
• 1:39:33
  at pulling that muscle.
• 1:39:36
  I'll let Desmond spell it.
• 1:39:37
  But you tell me the muscle
• 1:39:38
  you pulled at Chicago was the
• 1:39:40
  super spy.
• 1:39:47
  Don't want run in.
• 1:39:52
  Eight nothing.
• 1:39:53
  You are hit.
• 1:39:58
  But a car has one hit for us.
• 1:40:00
  We have that.
• 1:40:02
  One eighty one.
• 1:40:05
  I feel slightly in the left.
• 1:40:09
  Thank you.
• 1:40:10
  It stops.
• 1:40:11
  You.
• 1:40:12
  Thank you.
• 1:40:41
  I just over the mouth walking through the back head
• 1:40:46
  But you're very big foot
• 1:40:48
  Well, I want to game this year sort of edging into the catbird seat. I'll thank them June
• 1:40:54
  He's had it himself and his teammates have gotten in nine runs
• 1:41:01
  For the Christmas time on the 13th of May
• 1:41:03
  I said working for the third out men at first and third
• 1:41:08
  This is my
• 1:41:09
  Make the list to get back out of the way
• 1:41:16
  This is a can run leaving Donald third and foul ground when the men who hit the batted ball
• 1:41:21
  He would not be automatically out
• 1:41:24
  For our first second base open after you're back in the right
• 1:41:27
  Make the take time side for ball to
• 1:41:30
  Make it behind now to and all
• 1:41:37
  Seven fans come up here in the seventh inning
• 1:41:43
  Waves out in front nine to nothing
• 1:41:48
  Six runs out happening three up make it
• 1:41:51
  That's all over for false front
• 1:41:53
  Preacher role is going down to the Brooklyn bullpen. I guess to carry some instructions. He's not taking a glove with him
• 1:42:02
  Going down there's talking to newton
• 1:42:06
  You can ask him both growing
• 1:42:11
  Pitch over for striking
• 1:42:16
  Well still talking with you
• 1:42:18
  He ran down into the party you got orders
• 1:42:24
  We got to get a station break here
• 1:42:30
  Long up a half of the seventh inning, but if you think it's long, what do you how long you think back yet?
• 1:42:38
  To two pitch
• 1:42:40
  To two pitch
• 1:43:10
  I
• 1:43:19
  Got a little riddle here
• 1:43:24
  How quick is quick
• 1:43:28
  Knocking off his first ball of sugar
• 1:43:31
  Give that man a case
• 1:43:33
  Sugar crisp yes friends. It's a fact you'll sail right through that first ball of sugar crisp
• 1:43:40
  Once you discover how doggone good it is now this exciting new co-serial is fun to eat
• 1:43:46
  It's wholesome top wheat with a delicious sugar and honey coating
• 1:43:50
  Just pour on the milk or cream skip the sugar and get set for the happiest new breakfast creed in years and years
• 1:44:04
  Yes, sugar crisp
• 1:44:06
  Pomp and roll first step last to the center takes a pitch in for a ball strike
• 1:44:10
  Right hander for the way it pitches the car hits it from foul up by third base first to start a value it's getting over close. He's got it
• 1:44:21
  One up and one to the center
• 1:44:25
  That was about as quick as you could say
• 1:44:28
  Sugar crisp again
• 1:44:31
  Go on Bickford has been quite efficient
• 1:44:34
  Find an executioner out here
• 1:44:36
  Very good
• 1:44:40
  You know how to do that book with one head which is sort of a scrubber very much as bill will be in the background the first
• 1:44:46
  Could have been screwed another very easily
• 1:44:48
  The other
• 1:44:52
  But the official floor like young guys got to call it now and the other so that's the only hit so far
• 1:44:58
  In fact that's why you have an official store to rule out something that is adaptive status
• 1:45:05
  Newcom continues throwing us in the stop down the book and both
• 1:45:09
  And another one of the most important
• 1:45:12
  Big the deals
• 1:45:14
  This is the change of the fastball ball
• 1:45:16
  What a ball strike
• 1:45:20
  And a big DC six bring it away
• 1:45:22
  No way
• 1:45:28
  It's
• 1:45:36
  DC six is that the one that the garbage in from Cincinnati
• 1:45:40
  That's in Harry Clark of American Island up there and it was a great flight
• 1:45:44
  And then 17 and a half thousand
• 1:45:48
  Has eaten half on the whole
• 1:45:55
  To now last the seventh and Billy Cox
• 1:45:59
  Picks a change up for a fourth ball strike
• 1:46:02
  Big good start everything working out beautiful beautiful
• 1:46:05
  Beautiful but good with one out walk three men in the first inning the pennies broke out for a long time to take a third
• 1:46:14
  Strike and got hard is on the ground book
• 1:46:16
  Otherwise we had an effect
• 1:46:18
  talk such a
• 1:46:20
  Good hit
• 1:46:27
  And it happened to take the
• 1:46:29
  Sting away from that little
• 1:46:31
  In the fourth inning
• 1:46:33
  Naturally you got along with
• 1:46:35
  People are going to say well be a shame if the guys
• 1:46:37
  Really want to
• 1:46:39
  If you just want to
• 1:46:41
  But that's the matter is now settled
• 1:46:43
  That's a clean single for Fox
• 1:46:45
  Number two off the food
• 1:46:47
  I don't think over the way is the battle is
• 1:46:50
  You said
• 1:46:52
  After I'm good last
• 1:46:54
  First
• 1:46:56
  Would take a fastball
• 1:46:58
  All
• 1:47:00
  He's asking
• 1:47:02
  Apparently to hit for back
• 1:47:04
  Head if Edwards can save him a life
• 1:47:06
  And you can as the only picture working in the book
• 1:47:08
  And both hands
• 1:47:10
  For adding up you're going down to talk to new
• 1:47:13
  Come this now except for first
• 1:47:15
  Him stopping his work
• 1:47:17
  And you can continue
• 1:47:19
  You feel it manage a shot would like to see
• 1:47:21
  You can get an ending of so
• 1:47:23
  Today
• 1:47:32
  Almost right
• 1:47:34
  The plate right hand batter
• 1:47:36
  Strange
• 1:47:40
  Just had had word from the clubhouse
• 1:47:43
  And from
• 1:47:45
  One of the trainer
• 1:47:47
  The three we raised in his
• 1:47:49
  Colleges of Jackie Robinson
• 1:47:51
  Banged his windpipe
• 1:47:53
  No abrasion
• 1:47:55
  And nothing serious
• 1:47:57
  All
• 1:47:59
  That is in the word to
• 1:48:01
  Take a step
• 1:48:03
  On the
• 1:48:05
  On the
• 1:48:07
  On the
• 1:48:09
  On the
• 1:48:11
  On the
• 1:48:13
  Of
• 1:48:15
  The
• 1:48:21
  For
• 1:48:33
  And
• 1:48:37
  And
• 1:48:39
  Now, getting the sunshine.
• 1:48:42
  Two on pitch, swung on, followed up.
• 1:48:45
  Of course, you know that's brand new.
• 1:48:47
  A lot of grand person.
• 1:48:53
  Mr. Smith, of course, is known,
• 1:48:54
  wherever there are doctors and chemists,
• 1:48:58
  as one of the outstanding contributors.
• 1:49:02
  Such fields as development of penicillin,
• 1:49:06
  fortified.
• 1:49:08
  So am I ask two to pitch your
• 1:49:10
  emotional three
• 1:49:22
  I
• 1:50:22
  on the test is right on extending against the bridge
• 1:50:27
  so
• 1:50:31
  down into the boxes way down the right field corner
• 1:50:35
  of all two strikes and skips strong must give it a fan hitter
• 1:50:42
  you can walk back into the bug out
• 1:50:45
  so happen started to book them and was jarred loose
• 1:50:52
  home run by gordon in the third and a home run by jeff ron the fifth
• 1:50:57
  rather than the first six runs makes me the bank that now nothing but
• 1:51:03
  two strikes to hamansky who takes a curve low on ball two strikes
• 1:51:08
  you can scale the gloves out onto the grass
• 1:51:11
  just in foul ground halfway between the place the first face
• 1:51:15
  so he's the next pitching
• 1:51:19
  mancy's hitting the back head donjon has been home resting at
• 1:51:22
  that arm of his all the past week let up all high outside the hamansky
• 1:51:28
  two and two
• 1:51:31
  there's nine nothing under that is the first time
• 1:51:34
  rally recruit reform and in other words get back into the ballgame
• 1:51:40
  by the whole stocky right-hander who relieves for the brave is now up and
• 1:51:44
  drawing
• 1:51:47
  two two pitch way higher
• 1:52:05
  johnny jorgensen is going over to the book and back right
• 1:52:09
  any mixes scheduled to hit next if ramansky gets on
• 1:52:14
  mixes right hand batter and as connie pointed out to you when mixes took over
• 1:52:18
  the ballgame for reese that mixes is primarily noted for
• 1:52:23
  the ability of the glove all right post-serial is happy to send you
• 1:52:28
  another big one from brooklyn
• 1:52:31
  witnesses
• 1:52:43
  Johnny Jorgensen, the spider.
• 1:52:52
  Coming on the hip for the third baseman, Mixers.
• 1:52:56
  Here we come, and there's the announcer.
• 1:53:07
  Jorgensen is also one. He's been almost forgotten mad on the ball, so to speak.
• 1:53:12
  There's John Morgan coming up, and Willie Cox around.
• 1:53:16
  He's never lost his ability to smile while he's been branding up these tough days.
• 1:53:23
  That's it, round to the right, two out, three on.
• 1:53:26
  Pitches low inside, ball one for the spider.
• 1:53:32
  I don't think he weighs 140 pounds, but he has great timing.
• 1:53:37
  Open stance, left hand hitter, Cox on third, Edward on second, and that's Jorgensen first.
• 1:53:48
  Chipp on the left hander gets up, and Annanelli gets out of there.
• 1:53:52
  Annanelli is clearly just throwing, shooting south.
• 1:53:55
  Bobby holds the right hander and Chipp on the left hander, both working in the bullpen for the wave.
• 1:53:59
  And the event that Bickford has lost his touch.
• 1:54:02
  Rogers trying to penalize him, Boston ahead, nine to nothing.
• 1:54:07
  The two men out, a single by Cox, and then Bickford adding to his own troubles.
• 1:54:14
  It walks to Ed Woodson, pinch hitter, Hermanski.
• 1:54:18
  Now she's down.
• 1:54:21
  The one on one pitch.
• 1:54:23
  Cox, that's two.
• 1:54:25
  The ball is put back and kicks on the decision to get.
• 1:54:32
  Yes, answers him back in time.
• 1:54:37
  Annanelli gets in.
• 1:54:40
  Catcher Cooper down, and he's pout.
• 1:54:43
  Harry gets working into the crack between the catcher and the left hander.
• 1:54:46
  He's off to catch his right shoulder.
• 1:54:49
  Bickford deals a high outside third.
• 1:54:52
  The ball's two strikes.
• 1:54:54
  Two-two.
• 1:54:59
  The drivers trying to do something about this nine to nothing deficit.
• 1:55:03
  The waves have slapped on him.
• 1:55:05
  This is the last of his seven-pinning two-out three-on.
• 1:55:09
  Two-two pitch.
• 1:55:10
  High outside for guy three.
• 1:55:12
  That's all.
• 1:55:13
  Couch all the way.
• 1:55:15
  Not a matter of playing here.
• 1:55:17
  Three-two and two men ball.
• 1:55:29
  Jorgensen.
• 1:55:31
  The shoulder's at stick now on his left shoulder.
• 1:55:35
  Now starts to pump it.
• 1:55:38
  Backs out of there.
• 1:55:40
  Bickford is taking a little time for him.
• 1:55:42
  Cape Cod, 19,488.
• 1:55:47
  They're hooping and hollering here at Brooklyn.
• 1:55:50
  Boy, this ballpark is always alive.
• 1:55:54
  One to go, the three-two pitch.
• 1:55:56
  Ball four, take the one-fourth game.
• 1:55:58
  Number one, the base of the main goal.
• 1:56:15
  Billy Southwaite runs after the mound.
• 1:56:17
  The first time he's gone out there today.
• 1:56:21
  He is staying with Bickford, leading him in.
• 1:56:24
  So Bickford runs his shot out and he's hoops for collecting a case of sugarcress for such a feat.
• 1:56:30
  He's walked three straight men following a single for a run of hoes.
• 1:56:41
  That is George Scuba.
• 1:56:43
  It's a nine-to-one ball game, and the first run the guys have scored now in 20 innings.
• 1:56:49
  They were forced upon.
• 1:56:51
  I feel quite right on Scuba, left-hand hitter.
• 1:56:54
  Swings at the ground ball to the right side.
• 1:56:56
  Sistine has a good lead coming.
• 1:56:58
  The canela on all hands is safe and a good run in.
• 1:57:00
  The canela is short.
• 1:57:02
  The bases are main loaded and run number two is in.
• 1:57:12
  Well, that was the break the Dodgers were looking for as they strive to have a big inning now.
• 1:57:18
  A boost by Sistine with a ground ball hit right at him.
• 1:57:20
  The bases are main loaded.
• 1:57:22
  It is a nine-to-two ball game.
• 1:57:24
  And the matter is, Duke Smarter takes a fastball high outside.
• 1:57:28
  Ball one.
• 1:57:30
  Only the first run can be earned.
• 1:57:32
  No additional runs can be earned if the Dodgers get any more.
• 1:57:35
  The second run is not earned.
• 1:57:42
  Stader-Barg gets inspecting the ball.
• 1:57:46
  The bases remain up all day for the Brooklands.
• 1:57:49
  The Braves nine and the Dodgers two.
• 1:57:52
  A single with two outs, three bases on balls, another at second base.
• 1:57:57
  We had two runs in, three on.
• 1:57:59
  What's the matter up there, I want to know.
• 1:58:04
  Swings and busts of all out, in, through, right field.
• 1:58:06
  A line drive right at the little ball.
• 1:58:08
  He grabs it from the outside.
• 1:58:10
  There.
• 1:58:12
  But ends up.
• 1:58:14
  Two runs.
• 1:58:16
  One hit.
• 1:58:18
  And a free throw.
• 1:58:20
  End of seven innings.
• 1:58:22
  Nine runs.
• 1:58:23
  They're all earned on ten hits.
• 1:58:26
  And one arrow for the Braves.
• 1:58:27
  Two runs.
• 1:58:28
  The first one earned.
• 1:58:29
  Two hits.
• 1:58:32
  And for Brooklyn, no arrows.
• 1:58:37
  It is post cereals sending it all to you from here in Brooklyn.
• 1:58:42
  You know the famous post cereals.
• 1:58:45
  Post toasters.
• 1:58:46
  Post grape nuts.
• 1:58:47
  Post raisin bran.
• 1:58:49
  40% bran flakes.
• 1:58:51
  Post pins.
• 1:58:53
  And the nearest is post sugar crisps.
• 1:58:58
  Jorgensen who hits the mixers at third, goes to third.
• 1:59:01
  Don Newcomb comes on to be the pitcher.
• 1:59:03
  And the pitcher at the top of the order, Jeff Rowe, as he moves to the eighth inning.
• 1:59:07
  Newcomb, big right-hander.
• 1:59:09
  Been home with an ailing arm.
• 1:59:11
  Managed to shot and send him home from Chicago.
• 1:59:13
  When he found he couldn't pitch, he said, OK, go home and get a complete rest.
• 1:59:16
  Can't rest around the ball time.
• 1:59:18
  Newcomb's on the mound.
• 1:59:21
  The Phillies knock off the Giants, seven to one.
• 1:59:23
  It's a nightmare hole in first place in the National League.
• 1:59:27
  It's a 2-2 tie between the Pirates and the Cubs at the end of sixth.
• 1:59:30
  It's better than St. Louis tonight.
• 1:59:32
  In the American League, the Yankees at the end of two and a half lead the Athletics 4-0 on Ed Baraday.
• 1:59:39
  Washington has come up with four runs in the seventh and tied the Red Sox at 4-4.
• 1:59:43
  And the Red Sox are now batting the eighth inning, 4-4 tie.
• 1:59:50
  Strawberry, Cleveland.
• 1:59:52
  White Sox, two.
• 1:59:53
  And the Cleveland Indians, one.
• 1:59:54
  Cleveland bat in the seventh inning.
• 2:00:02
  Newcomb's got a couple more pitches to throw.
• 2:00:04
  So what do you say that we pause briefly for station identification?
• 2:00:31
  Sam Jethro, who burned up the woods with Montreal in the National League last year.
• 2:00:39
  Switch hitter batting up handed.
• 2:00:43
  Sam, of course, is the first Negro player in the history of the Braves.
• 2:00:48
  Boy, he's been some ball player for them.
• 2:00:50
  Most hits in the league, 33.
• 2:00:52
  Five of them, home runs.
• 2:00:55
  Swings at the high, high ball.
• 2:00:57
  Three separate catchers coming back, he's under.
• 2:01:01
  He's got it.
• 2:01:03
  10-4, batting out.
• 2:01:06
  One's on, getting to the eighth.
• 2:01:09
  Brook and Infield is now Hodges at first base, Robinson at second.
• 2:01:15
  The LeCox is playing short and the third baseman is Johnny Jargison.
• 2:01:18
  First time Johnny has been able to wear a glove this year in a game.
• 2:01:25
  Earl Targison, one hit to three at bats.
• 2:01:28
  Swings and hits a ground ball slowly towards second.
• 2:01:31
  Robinson's up, close to first.
• 2:01:33
  Fist in time and Targison is out.
• 2:01:36
  The fish on College Water giving it the thumb.
• 2:02:01
  Now, Barbelliott.
• 2:02:07
  The third baseman has two lines, single, that are four times up.
• 2:02:11
  They've had the Newcomb kick throws, fastball inside.
• 2:02:15
  Newcomb is spassed.
• 2:02:17
  If he's ready to pitch again, some of the Brooklyn pitching problems may be solved.
• 2:02:21
  Boy, you don't go very far when you ace.
• 2:02:24
  Not even with you, back home resting is off.
• 2:02:28
  The Braves are tomorrow, 12,000 seats, all prices.
• 2:02:33
  Throw, put on a ground ball down to third.
• 2:02:36
  Jargison up with it.
• 2:02:37
  Fires over to first base.
• 2:02:39
  In time, a hit to five and Newcomb puts the start down one, two, three.
• 2:02:44
  It's in itself as encouraged.
• 2:02:49
  Nine to two, over the Braves.
• 2:02:51
  Trying out Brooklyn pitches.
• 2:02:52
  Did you know that the Dodger pitching staff gave up fewer hits than any other National
• 2:02:56
  League pitching staff last season?
• 2:02:58
  You didn't?
• 2:02:59

• 2:03:52
  Robinson, first up, last to be eighth.
• 2:03:56
  They have the victim.
• 2:03:58
  Delivers.
• 2:03:59
  Fair of outside.
• 2:04:01
  All up.
• 2:04:10
  9-2, Boston.
• 2:04:11
  Bickford with a 7-1 lead.
• 2:04:15
  Robinson hits the deep short.
• 2:04:16
  Carr is up.
• 2:04:17
  The short step throw is in time, and Robbie is back last.
• 2:04:20
  One up, one away.
• 2:04:23
  Last to the eighth.
• 2:04:26
  Carl Ferrello was involved in a very pivotal turn of the game.
• 2:04:31
  But in the first inning, with the Bears leading 1-0, Bickford was 1-0.
• 2:04:36
  Walked three straight yards.
• 2:04:38
  Then he induced Ferrello to look at a third strike.
• 2:04:45
  Carl swings at a high foul ball.
• 2:04:48
  Bears catch a walker kicker coming back.
• 2:04:50
  Get it under.
• 2:04:51
  And takes it.
• 2:04:52
  Leaks up to these three for out number two.
• 2:04:55
  Who are gone?
• 2:04:56
  Nice to be eighth.
• 2:04:58
  Hodges, who has one hit, an infield scratch single.
• 2:05:03
  Hodges had only two hits.
• 2:05:08
  Hodges batting 3-11.
• 2:05:15
  Then he continues going out toward left.
• 2:05:18
  Fine crowd.
• 2:05:19
  That's the sunshine here at Epics Field.
• 2:05:22
  Fair ball both.
• 2:05:23
  False strike.
• 2:05:28
  Willie Lowes, Washington, Queens.
• 2:05:31
  Back here on Long Island warming up for the Dodgers.
• 2:05:35
  Pedal ball in under the chin.
• 2:05:37
  Lowes is a bonus player.
• 2:05:39
  This could be the book of this year.
• 2:05:40
  Most of the Dodgers that wish to take their chances are losing in the waivers.
• 2:05:49
  One pitch, one long foul back.
• 2:05:53
  One and two.
• 2:05:57
  Newcomb pitched a very good inning.
• 2:06:01
  He sure managed to shot in something.
• 2:06:03
  Needed just a little work, a little tuning up.
• 2:06:09
  One and two pitch.
• 2:06:10
  Curves one on and tap foul outside the first base.
• 2:06:14
  Tomorrow's game on Sunday is two o'clock.
• 2:06:18
  For those of you out and around the country listening in on our Coast to Coast broadcast,
• 2:06:23
  in addition to our local one here in New York,
• 2:06:25
  there is a New York State Sunday Law that no athletic event,
• 2:06:30
  any athletic event, cannot start before two o'clock on Sunday afternoon.
• 2:06:37
  One and two pitch.
• 2:06:38
  Curves one on and hit high out of the short right center field.
• 2:06:41
  Second base and assist her back.
• 2:06:42
  And he's got it.
• 2:06:45
  The Dodgers go down routinely and out for the Vaseline.
• 2:06:48
  One, two, three, last three, eight.
• 2:06:51
  And Bickford regained his mastery.
• 2:06:53
  At the end of eight, it is nine to two in favor of the Braves.
• 2:07:01
  In the American League at the end of three innings, it's the Yankees five and the Athletics nothing.
• 2:07:07
  The Yankees, Bauer and Brown at the home runs.
• 2:07:10
  The A's, Wise, Scheib, and Fowler.
• 2:07:15
  Newcomb going out to the mound to pitch the ninth inning.
• 2:07:19
  At the end of eight innings, the Boston Red Sox are leading Washington five to one.
• 2:07:25
  And Dobson is pitching in the ninth inning trying to get Washington out of there
• 2:07:28
  and save the one-run lead.
• 2:07:30
  She's had her teeth on all the way for Washington.
• 2:07:32
  Stobb started with Boston, Masterson in the seventh,
• 2:07:35
  when Washington got four runs to tie it, and Dobson's come on in ninth.
• 2:07:40
  Ted Williams and Walt Dropo hit home runs for the Red Sox.
• 2:07:44
  At the end of seven innings, it's a 2-2 tie between the Chicago White Sox and the Cleveland Indians.
• 2:07:49
  Kane pitching to Chicago.
• 2:07:51
  Fowler went the first seven innings and hit a home run for Cleveland,
• 2:07:55
  and Forrest is pitching in the eighth.
• 2:07:58
  For the Browns of Detroit, Garver will go for the Brownies and Trucks for the Tigers.
• 2:08:04
  Final score in the National League, the Phillies up there in first place.
• 2:08:08
  Seven runs, seven hits in the air behind Kierg Simmonds,
• 2:08:11
  his fourth win against one setback.
• 2:08:14
  The Giants are run only three hits, so Simmons, no errors.
• 2:08:16
  Carslow, Magley, and Higley from New York and Carslow, the starters, the losers.
• 2:08:21
  At the end of six and a half innings, it's a 2-2 tie between the Pirates and the Cubs.
• 2:08:26
  And the Red Sox need to go to the west tonight, and that's that.
• 2:08:29
  The United 2, Braves leading here at Brooklyn, and Sid Gordon up,
• 2:08:34
  and Newton pitches in half of all one.
• 2:08:40
  Gordon has one hit to official that back, two walks.
• 2:08:45
  Strong stocky right-hand hitter, takes high inside, a 2.
• 2:08:51
  Simmons, 270.
• 2:09:02
  Ball, curveball high inside, and then there's ball three.
• 2:09:06
  You know, Bucum is big, about 6'5", 240 pounds, and he's 35 pounds.
• 2:09:17
  And he's big at the side of the house.
• 2:09:23
  Throws, all four, and Gordon picks up his third walk this afternoon.
• 2:09:30
  Braves now had a half a dozen free passes given to them, and Bigfoot had walked six of the Dodgers.
• 2:09:36
  The hard thing about Bigfoot is he's been wild in two spurts.
• 2:09:40
  He walked three straights in his first inning and three straight again in the seventh.
• 2:09:49
  Will Marshall has had a single and a triple.
• 2:09:53
  He's a good hitter.
• 2:10:01
  270 to.
• 2:10:06
  I feel blood right.
• 2:10:11
  Pitch is on high, top of the fly, he's got the third, it may be trouble.
• 2:10:16
  It is in there for a single.
• 2:10:20
  He's got the ball on the bounce.
• 2:10:23
  Ball drops about five feet fair, deep back at third base, or out of the short left field.
• 2:10:29
  Single for Marshall.
• 2:10:31
  Winning later on in that first pitch, and he's got to end it.
• 2:10:34
  It isn't as third in it today, number one off Newton.
• 2:10:38
  Braves are leading nine to two, they're just too soon open the gap.
• 2:10:56
  Big Cooper, they catch it up, gives a curve inside.
• 2:11:01
  That's Cooper, bounce at four.
• 2:11:10
  Got a base hit, line double is last trip.
• 2:11:14
  That field's right left.
• 2:11:17
  Cooper swings it over, drives on deep to the right center field.
• 2:11:21
  It's way out there, and it is in the center field.
• 2:11:25
  More center field stands for a big ball run for Cooper.
• 2:11:29
  That's his first home run of the year, and his second straight hit for the Braves,
• 2:11:33
  and it makes it now cross to a favor of Boston.
• 2:11:37
  And it's a case of a shooter pitch to the Walker-Cipper household.
• 2:11:40
  Yes sir.
• 2:11:43
  So he's tying that one deep in a lower right center field stand,
• 2:11:47
  right back at the sign where it says 376 feet.
• 2:11:51
  Three rows of seats in there.
• 2:11:53
  He hung it in.
• 2:11:56
  Everybody out, three runs home.
• 2:11:59
  Braves is widening the gap even more.
• 2:12:01
  They really have their hitting shoes on.
• 2:12:05
  And city sister stepping in, had no hit today.
• 2:12:09
  Cut some fouls this one in the lower first place stand.
• 2:12:17
  And Newcomb was really jarred.
• 2:12:27
  Cooper knocked in five runs today in his debut with the Braves.
• 2:12:33
  First ball over, second strike.
• 2:12:48
  Well, one run and missed.
• 2:12:50
  Fair play.
• 2:12:52
  Lake three, so city has had a rough afternoon.
• 2:12:58
  He struck out twice, he's gone 0-4, got on once for the walk,
• 2:13:03
  and he's made an error.
• 2:13:05
  But he caught his two hits before at bat.
• 2:13:09
  Lock in a run.
• 2:13:13
  He's got that average up above 200.
• 2:13:19
  Comes back one-sixth and he's ball one.
• 2:13:22
  Well, the Lowes continues throwing on the Brooklyn bullpen.
• 2:13:27
  Now, big Cooper really putting a big one in the center field stands.
• 2:13:31
  Twelve, Rogers too.
• 2:13:34
  Ball strike on the outside, one-and-one.
• 2:13:38
  Imagine Southworth now, he's very pleased to have this big Cooper with him.
• 2:13:42
  That ball looks like he's watching.
• 2:13:46
  They traded him a couple days ago for Ryan.
• 2:13:52
  Good, one side ball two, two balls, one strike.
• 2:13:57
  The Newcomb, who went along swimmingly in the eighth inning, got wet.
• 2:14:08
  Two unfits, one on the line.
• 2:14:14
  That one would have knocked the horns off Big Don if he'd had any.
• 2:14:19
  So, the line single, right over the pitcher's head.
• 2:14:26
  And Brian Bickford, a rich man all afternoon.
• 2:14:32
  He's hit on the honey side of the stick.
• 2:14:37
  Yes sir.
• 2:14:42
  Going after his year's first win.
• 2:14:44
  He's got a ten-run lead now here in the ninth inning.
• 2:14:48
  Roger looking for the bunt, he tries, misses.
• 2:14:53
  Why would you have the pitcher bunt with one out and the man on first in the ninth?
• 2:14:59
  Well, because he might go out and that moves the man from first, so he might waste it.
• 2:15:03
  Or he might, if he lines the swing, hit the double play, even worse.
• 2:15:06
  The bunt in, if he gets him out of the out, there's a bunt.
• 2:15:09
  Newcomb, off the mound, feels it, throw goes to first base.
• 2:15:12
  Bickford is out of sacrifice.
• 2:15:14
  Sacrifices himself, and so giving up the second out, which they figured the pitcher would do.
• 2:15:19
  Cost him any now, they move Carr into a better scoring position in second base.
• 2:15:23
  No matter what percentage.
• 2:15:27
  If you get one place, then get an old better place.
• 2:15:35
  Sam Jetslow, had one hit, home run.
• 2:15:39
  That in the fifth inning, switch over to the better left hander.
• 2:15:45
  In the 3.44, he's a rookie of course, Montreal last year.
• 2:15:49
  Swings and has a high foul into the third base fan.
• 2:15:53
  The ball is one strike.
• 2:15:56
  That throws extremely quick.
• 2:16:00
  He's a very slender fellow.
• 2:16:04
  Looks almost bony, but he can run.
• 2:16:09
  And running, he makes it look easy.
• 2:16:12
  There's a lot of talk about the leg, about who can outrun the other than a hundred yards.
• 2:16:17
  Jetslow or Bobby Thompson, the New York Giants.
• 2:16:22
  Jetslow spins, and it's spinning all the way around.
• 2:16:26
  The ball's too stressed.
• 2:16:29
  Two gone, third second.
• 2:16:32
  Ball to two, paper to Braves.
• 2:16:35
  A lot of people think that Jetslow is the fastest fellow in spiked shoes.
• 2:16:39
  New York, the Russians, and the Giants.
• 2:16:42
  They say that Bobby Thompson cannot outrun anybody in baseball at a hundred yards.
• 2:16:47
  Someday they may match it. I want to see it.
• 2:16:55
  Jekyll's pitch, swung on and missed.
• 2:17:02
  Three runs, big football, following a walk in a single, but a blasting walk.
• 2:17:07
  Three hits, one man left.
• 2:17:10
  Last time for the night, coming about.
• 2:17:13
  We soon have a decision to know what it is.
• 2:17:15
  It's now four to two in favor of the Braves.
• 2:17:19
  A three-way wonderful, that's post-sugar crisp.
• 2:17:22
  A marvelous new cereal that's made from wholesome puffed wheat with a delightful coating of sugar and honey.
• 2:17:28
  Folks, just let me tell you, it's just fun to eat any one of three ways.
• 2:17:33
  At breakfast, pour sugar crisp in your cereal bowl and just add milk and cream.
• 2:17:39
  And then you can skip the sugar because this exciting new cereal is just sweet enough.
• 2:17:44
  The snacks in between meals is perfect, too.
• 2:17:47
  And third, you just eat it right out of the bag like candy.
• 2:17:51
  Anytime, anywhere.
• 2:17:54
  Now, for example, you could be nibbling it right now while you're listening in.
• 2:17:58
  Yes, there's a cereal, it's dandy for snacks, it's handy, or eat it like candy.
• 2:18:04
  Look for post-sugar crisp in the red, white, and blue cellophane bag at your gross.
• 2:18:08
  Ride real soon, yeah?
• 2:18:10
  And the folks, folks, hope you're enjoying this ball game.
• 2:18:13
  We'll have another one for you next Saturday.
• 2:18:17
  Glad we got you down.
• 2:18:19
  Here's Billy Cox, who singled his last time up.
• 2:18:23
  It was the first real hit off Bigfoot, the second hit off Bigfoot.
• 2:18:27
  He's only given up two, and for Cox, this is only his first year out of seven official at bats.
• 2:18:31
  Swings of the ground ball down the short.
• 2:18:33
  Buddy Carl charges up for the pass for first, and that's all for Cox.
• 2:18:38
  One up and one gone, last time of the night.
• 2:18:45
  Bruce Edwards marching up there with the lumber, and Jim Russell, who came to the Dodgers from the Braves,
• 2:18:50
  is going over to the bat rack, a fine look to hit for Newford.
• 2:18:55
  On to the last two innings, all three of the book and pitches, first half in and bank, then Newford.
• 2:18:59
  All was scored off.
• 2:19:01
  Edwards fouls his pitch back.
• 2:19:06
  Bigfoot, he's in a long ride.
• 2:19:09
  Dan's howling over a scramble for a foul ball.
• 2:19:17
  Redhander deals. There's a high foul, close to the post base fan.
• 2:19:22
  Still close, and back in amongst the customers.
• 2:19:31
  Another loss, two strikes.
• 2:19:47
  Mars game two o'clock, 12,000 seats, all prices available.
• 2:19:51
  Pitch is swung on, grounded down to short, caught up with it.
• 2:19:55
  In time, Edwards out, so far it's the first two.
• 2:20:01
  And Russell now reports to the umpire, and here's the announcement.
• 2:20:04
  Russell arrives by the played umpire.
• 2:20:12
  You know, if you give the umpire the wrong player, you've got to get that player and get him up there.
• 2:20:18
  Wonder what happened in the World Series of 36.
• 2:20:25
  Pitch is high outside, ball one, no 37.
• 2:20:29
  And the Yankees are giants.
• 2:20:31
  Pitch high outside to pinch hitter Russell, ball one.
• 2:20:35
  Buster's 7 to 34, hitting 2 or 6.
• 2:20:39
  Switch hitter batting left handed, takes a foul strike, one and one.
• 2:20:43
  Two out.
• 2:20:45
  Boston 12, looking to.
• 2:20:49
  Dodgers with two strikes, one out left.
• 2:20:53
  Now there's two balls, one strike.
• 2:20:58
  Turn one, Cooper goes after now.
• 2:21:01
  Another World Series game, 37, Harry Gumbit was given to the umpire,
• 2:21:07
  and the public defense system said Gumbit.
• 2:21:09
  A big cop went in and out of the bullpen, if you recall.
• 2:21:12
  So we got Gumbit off the bench, made him pitch to one hitter.
• 2:21:16
  As a ball drilled in the right field for a pinch of single.
• 2:21:20
  Third hit for the Dodgers, so Russell comes up with a clean base hit.
• 2:21:29
  Number three for Brooklyn.
• 2:21:32
  Johnny Jorgensen was off the one for the year, who pinch hit in the seventh inning and drilled base on balls.
• 2:21:36
  Left of the base of the road, of course, in Brooklyn's first run.
• 2:21:41
  First run the Dodgers scored in 20 innings.
• 2:21:43
  Jorgensen left hand hitter, swings and bounces down to first.
• 2:21:47
  Jorgensen can't pound the ball for a minute, then he does, steps on the bat for the outbound ballgame.
• 2:21:52
  That's all.
• 2:21:54
  All-on, one hit in the last half of the ninth inning.
• 2:21:58
  So the Braves win the ballgame.
• 2:22:02
  The 12 runs, 13 hits in there on the Dodgers, two runs, three hits, and for Brooklyn, no error.
• 2:22:08
  We'll let some other scores in a second, but you know, when it comes to keeping an A-1 physical shape,
• 2:22:14
  it just wouldn't hurt any of us to take a tip from a championship ball club, the Dodgers.
• 2:22:20
  You know, they put a lot of emphasis on the right kind of meals in that training program.
• 2:22:24
  You'll find a steady performance, I catch a Roy Campanella saying this,
• 2:22:29
  if you want to do a good job every day, all season long, well, you just have to eat properly.
• 2:22:35
  And when you remember Roy's remarks, folks, remember this, too.
• 2:22:39
  You aren't eating properly, and they should eat a good, substantial breakfast.
• 2:22:42
  One that includes fruit, bread and butter, beverage, and a cereal.
• 2:22:46
  That's the kind of nourishment you need to keep you going strong right through the morning.
• 2:22:52
  And for that cereal in that better breakfast lineup, pick your favorite post-cereal.
• 2:22:58
  All post-cereals are loaded with solid rounds of nourishment.
• 2:23:02
  Yes, sir. Eat a better breakfast each day with your favorite post-cereal included.
• 2:23:13
  In this ballgame, one by the Braves, 12-2, it's their first win out of three meetings with Brooklyn this year.
• 2:23:19
  And for the Dodgers, it gives them a third straight defeat.
• 2:23:25
  Patton, of course, is the losing pitcher.
• 2:23:30
  His record is now one and two for the year, one and one with Boston.
• 2:23:34
  And last time, he was coming far for the Braves.
• 2:23:37
  Bigford wins his first game, he's lost three.
• 2:23:40
  He's now one and one with Brooklyn.
• 2:23:42
  And last time, he had two or one with the Dodgers.
• 2:23:46
  I think those are about the salient statistics.
• 2:23:48
  State attendance, 19,488.
• 2:23:51
  And you couldn't have asked for a nicer day than the Weatherman.
• 2:23:56
  12,000 seats of all prices available for the Mars game at 2 o'clock.
• 2:24:04
  The Braves have now moved right up on the heels of the Dodgers, only five percentage points behind them.
• 2:24:10
  Now the National League, the Phillies, tightened their hold on first place by macking up the Giants 7-1 behind Kirk Simmons.
• 2:24:17
  At the end of seven and a half innings, the Chicago Cubs at Chicago are leading the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3.
• 2:24:24
  Cincinnati plays at St. Louis tonight.
• 2:24:26
  In the American League, end of three and a half innings, it's the Yankees 5 and the Athletics nothing.
• 2:24:32
  At the end of eight innings, the Boston Red Sox 5 and the Washington Senators 4.
• 2:24:37
  Washington's at bat in the ninth inning.
• 2:24:40
  Cleveland, Chicago are tied at 2-2 with the Indians at home and bat-bat in the eighth inning.
• 2:24:46
  And the Frasher just come in, the Clark in the eighth inning, has hit a home run for Cleveland,
• 2:24:50
  so the Indians go out ahead for the first time this afternoon.
• 2:24:54
  Garver and Trucks are the starting pitchers, and St. Louis at Detroit.
• 2:24:59
  The fans, that's it. Once again, the Braves 12 and the Dodgers 2.
• 2:25:05
  So as far as the New York folks are concerned, Connie Desmond, Vince Cully, and the old redhead will be back tomorrow afternoon.
• 2:25:13
  And as far as you folks on the network are concerned, we got a date with you when the Pittsburgh Pirates are going to be here this next Saturday.
• 2:25:21
  Coming up. And it's been fun bringing you this one for Post Cereos, and we hope you enjoyed it.
• 2:25:28
  And if you have, remember that you say thanks every time you bring home a package of any one of the famous Post Cereos.
• 2:25:35
  Post toasters, Post Grape Nuts and Grape Nuts Flakes, Post Raisin Brand, 40% Brand Flakes, or Post Tens.
• 2:25:44
  Say if you're one of the folks who haven't tried Post Sugar Crisp yet, you just be sure to look for the cellophane bag with the three little bears today.
• 2:25:55
  Now this is the old redhead, Red Bob, saying so long.
