Dodgers, Yanks '”T Boast Game's lop Catchers (Editor’s note: Thip is the last of a series comparing the , Dodgers and Yankees for the ' 1953 World Series.) By CARL LUNDQUIST (Un(tbd Press Sports Writer) NEW YORK UP —So brilliant are the catchers in the 1953 World Series that both are strong contenders for their league's most valuable pjlayer awards. This would be nothing new either for Roy Campanena of Tne Dodgers or Yogi Berra of the Yankees, for they were the award winners in 1951. J They are the best receivers in the game and Campanella rates a definite edge over Berra at the bat and behind it. Buxom, brawny, brainy Campanella this , season compiled the best hitting record of any catcher in the history of the game, surpassing such heroes as Gabby Hartnett and Bill Dickey and hall of famer Mickey Cochrane. His 41 homeys and 142 runs batted in are all-time tops for catchers and the final returns, of course, are not in. , i and the dozens of bumps and Despite aching feet, sore hands bruises that accure to any hustling catcher. Campy has played in 142 games and of his 161 hits to date 73 have have been for extra bases. Berra, who has risen to the occasion better than Campy in past I Series competition, is no patsy at bat either and his .297 average is misleading. He has batted in 107 runs, drilled 27 homers and of his 147 hits, 5'2 have been extra base | blows. ' _ ■ |

But the comical Yogi, who is anything but funny to opposing pitchers, currently is enjoying the I best September hitting splurge in his career. That is offsetting his ■ bad start this year when during the early months of the caihpaign • he was troubled with coilit.s. He « lost a lot of weight and his bat- , ting average became pretty ane- « mic, too. But after mid-season he I was the Yogi of old, a devastating i clutch hitter and a consistent long ball hitter. Defensively, Campanella has no , equal. It takes a fan with a long ' memory to recall when he ever r dropped a pop foul. He cuts down ' woud-be base thelves at second . with the sharpness of a scythe and is tops at handling pitchers. Berra can’t match that all-round ; talent behind the bat. He hash"! a strong' throwing arm, but it is far j better than it was when in his rookie year of 194 V the Dodger base runners had a. field £ay . against him. Under the patient tutelage of ' Yankee Coach Dickey r an old master catcher, Berra has become ; what the trade ealls a “smart" receiver and the pitchers have strong confidence in him. a
