Yankees Win Fifth World Series In Row NEW YORK UP —Thelfabulous New York Yankees, theirTeign extended to an unprecedented five straight years, planned today to strengthen an aging pitching staff seemed to offer their frustrated opponents their only hope of ending the greatest sycc«ss story in baseball history. , General Manager George Weiss hinted that the Yankees? already were negotiating to acquire a star pitcper when he singled /out the pitching corps as "our N<ji? 1 problem- for 1954." “We have a good youpg team that could go On to win-ja. sixth straight pennant next season,” Weiss said. “Throughout jhe winour basic aim must be. how-* ever. to solidify out pitching." Weiss gave no indication of the pitdfter that the Yankees itjight be seeking but it was believed their first choice would be powerful right hander of the Cleveland Indians. Others tjie Yankees migtyt be dickering for included 22game winner Bob Poterfleld of the Washington Senators, if rookie Bob Tuirley of the St. Louis frowns and either Bobby Shantz o$ Harry Byrd of The Philadelphia Athletics. Fo|r the present, howeve|. managed Casey Stengel and his'players exulted in their astounding’ string of successes —a record whjfzh not even the fabulous the Bab£ Ruth era, ‘John' McGraw’s greatest New York Giant or Connie Mack’s finest teanjs could match. \ . For with Monday’s dramatic 4-3 triumph over the Brooclyn Dodgers, the Yankees wrote a new page in baseball history—five consecutive American League pennants crowded with five consecutive series triumphs. - Baseball Experts, may contend that thesis Yankees are not the! greatest team in baseball history, but the l|ttle| agate line n the record book speaks for itself. » . There were heroes galore in the Yankee camp — beginning, of course, with Stengel, who for bears was. regarded, in basebjall circle? as a “humorous fellow- -but 'a second division manager.” Nd man in baseball history ever, answered the slur attached to his Dime in more (convincing fashion. I Stepgel, of course, will be back next Reason in an attempt t(| write still another record into the hooks. He is| working on the- second year\ of a two-year Contract which calls for SIOO,OOO a year—the highest salary ever paid a manager. • ' x Secbnd in the Yankee line of heroes was the stringy, combative

Billy Martin, who capped one of the greatest individual performances history Wtih a ninth-, inning sihgle that drove in the winning run in Monday’s sixth and final game. The Yankee “brat," as Stengel refers to him, not only ended the series with his ground single into center field that scored Hank Bauer from second base with the winning run. but equalled the record of 12 hits by a player in a series. Only Sam Rice of the \1925 Washington Senators and Pepper Martin of the 1931 St. Louis Cardinals ever collected <2 hits in a series before, and both did it in sevengame series. Next in line, of course, came Allie Reynolds whose victory Monday enabled him to tie former Yankee Red Ruffing’s record of seven victories in series competition. Reynolds and Ruffing now the mark with identical 7-2 marks. Reynolds’ victory was tainted by the fact that he served up the game-tying, two-run homer to Carl. Furillo in the ninth inning, but it was embellished by the fact that his three strikeouts enabled him, to set a new’ series standard of 62 strikeodts in series competition.

Notre Dame had 332 out of a possible 350 points and Michigan State, now- working on a 26-game winning streak, had ,291. Although the Irish attracted two'more place votes and sevep more points than last week, Michigan State narrowed the margin between them from 61 to 41 points. The Spartans were the first place choice of four coaches. No coach voted Notre Dame lower than fifth place. UCLA had two first place votes and 200 points, and Ohio' State had 194 points. Maryland, Southern California and Michigan were hundred closely for the iiext three places, with 147, 144 and 142 points, respectively. ‘Baylor, with 85 points; Georgia Tech, with 69. and Duke, with 66 rounded out, the top 10 teams in that order. ‘Maryland, Southern California and Rice which ranked 11th each received one first place vote. This week’s top lo thus was made up of four Midwest teams, three from tire South, two from the Pacific Coast and one from the Southwest. (Maryland and Southern California swapped the places each held last week; Michigan held seventh; Baylor and Georgia Tech each jumped up one notch, while Duke advanced from 12th to 10th.
