Ducky Harris, so choked with the emotion of world series triumph that he could hardly speak, rais'd a glass and said over and over »• gain — ’ Joe Page, Joe Page. JoS Page.’’ It was Page who won that world series for the Yankees and it is Pagce who is pitching them Into the forthcoming one for now the odd* on them making it are almost prohibitively in their favor Page made them so last night when for the 15th time thl* year he came to the relief of his pitching buddy. Allie Reynolds. He fired hi* blaze hall past four straight batters for third strikes to end the game in a 5 to 2 Yankee triumph over the pestiferous Red Sox. Last night he came in for his 49th relief appearance and his 15th rescue job for Reynolds. Bobby Doerr had just tripled with one out in tlie eighth and the 3 to 2 Yankee lead looked precarious. Page nailed Al Zarilla on a schoolboy pop and struck out Billy Goodman. Then n« struck out the side in the ninth and the Yankees wound up 2H games In front in the most serious challenge they have faced to date For Page to emerge with the pitching honors. Billy (The Bule) Johnson, Stengel's fill-in first baseman who has beeh the club's moat consistent hitter of late, had to he a batting hero In the Yankee seventh he smashed his second triple of the night a ball which ju«t eluded Ted Williams in left, scorI eg pinch runner George StlrnweU*. Johnson himself came in with the tally that made it 3 to 2 when Vein Stephens threw the relay wildly into the dugout. Bobby Brown mad** victory doubly sure with a tworui homer in the eighth. Doerr hatted in what proved to be the only two Boston runs with a single in the first after Reynolds walked the first three batters to face him. In the slzxllng National League squabble, the Cardinals maintained tbeir one game lead over the Dodgers when Marty Marion singled In the ninth to drive in Rookie Solly Henins for a 3 to 2 decision ove.the Cuba at St. Louis. Howie I'olli-t pitched scatter-hit ball, yielding 12 blows but not too many In a bunch, for his 18th win. In a fracas at Brooklyn whicii wax highlighted by a fist fight between Spider Jorgensen and B-m---ton Eddie Stanky. the Dodger* made It four straight over the Braves, winning. SJ. on a two-run homer by Eddie Missis Mlkxis was the guy who replaced Jorgensen when he wax ejected for his battling. Roy Campanella also hit s Dodger homer. In the only other major league games the Reds drubbed the Pirates 5 to 2 on the margin of Walker ('doper’s grand slam triple and th • White Sox scored a 7 to 1 decision over the Browns on Bill Wright's five-hit pitching.
