Yankees Pick - “ . iC Cleveland In World Series NEWxYORK INS) — The New York Yankees pick Cleveland in six games and concede the Indians all the trimmings that go with a world championship. But the deposed Bronx Bombers are claiming some of the crumbs, like 'lßookie of the Year” honors and possibly the “most valuable player” award to go with their handful of statistical titles. Their virtually unopposed candidate for 1954's star rookie is 24-year-old Bob Grim, who not only became the second freshman in Yankee history to win 20 games Tuesday but made the Yanks the winningest second-place team In American League annals. A strong candidate to repeat as MVP is star backstop Yogi Berra, whose .308 average has helped the Yanks tremendously and whose 124 runs-battbd-in leads the league. The failure of some pitchers to win as anticipated coat the Yankees plenty this season but Grim was money in the bank. He more than made up for the loss of Vic Raschi and came a lot cheaper. Casey Stengel, who picks the over the New' York Giants in the World Series, was impressed enough with Grim’s pitching in spring training that he signed him for the new major league minimum of $6,000. He already has won seven more games than did Raschi, who drew something like $40,000. And he helped much more by serving as a reliefer as well as starter. Grim joins such distinguished company as the 1910 Yankees’ Russ Ford (20-6), the 1911 Phillies’ Grover Cleveland Alexander (26-6) and more recently the Cards’ Harvey Haddix as flrstyear 20-game winners. Ford, now 71, was on hand for Grim’s four-hit, 3-to-l victory over Washington, Tvhich enabled the Yanks to surpass the previous of 100 victories by a second-place team, set in 1915 by Detroit. Grim’s lone twx> walks set up the only Senator run in the fifth inning but after that he retired 11 men in a row, striking out seven, until Jim Busby's ninth-inning single. The Yank’s winning run came in the seventh when Dean Stone walked Gil McDougald, who went around on Mickey Mantle’s single and Pete Runnels’ overthrow Grim now owns a record of 20-6 and Stone, 12-9. The Indians held a gigantic victory parade and then marched into Municipal stadium only to be defeated. 9 to 7. by Chicago. A win would have tied them with the 1927 Yankees as the all-time winningest team in tpe league (110). Boston took a two-game hold on fourth place by beating Philadelphia. 4 to 3, in ten innings and then by the same score over the regular distance. Baltimore clinched seventh place by beating Detroit, 4 to 3. The New York Giants followed up their pennant-clinching victory over Brooklyn with a 5-to-2 decision over the Dodgers. Milwaukee blew a chance to gain on the Dodgers for the second money by losing 5 to 0, to Cincinnati. Chicago dropped St. Louis behind Philadelphia into sixth place by beating the Cardinals. 4 to 3, in ten innings and then 3 to 2, in a nightcap called after seven innings by darkness.

Giant's Chief Mound Reliable Is Antonelli

j (Editor's note: The New York Giants go into the 1954 World Series m underdogs to the Cleveland Indians. What are the chances of the National League champions to pull an upset? In the first of two articles on the successors to the Brooklyn Dodgers, International News Service discusses the pitchers who won the . flag for Leo Durocher.) By HOWARD BIGMAND NEW YORK (INS) — Broadway has it that the Indians have such a strong "pitch," theyTl con the New York Giants right out of Manhattan Island. But when Cleveland brings its influential pitching staff to the Polo Grounds next Wednesday for the opening of the World Series, the Giants won’t be bought without a debate. Leo Durocher’s hurlers are talented, experienced and showed a convincing ability for winning the big ones during the hectic National League pennant chase. Leo believes they can do likewise in the big show. . . 7 The Giant skipper's’ optimism centers around Johnny Antonelli, sure-bet starter in the series opener. The book says that the best way to stop the rampaging Indians is to do it from the left side and Antonelli certainly has been baseban’s top southpaw in 1954. The 24-year-old pitcher is the Giant meal ticket, the first lefty to win more than 20 games for the club since king Carl Hubbell fashioned the feat in 1937. Equally important is the fact that Johnny boy is a mighty stingy fellow when it comes to yielding runs to the opposition. The former Braves bonus baby who grew up as a Giant has a leading 2.35 earned-run figure and six shutouts to his credit. That Cleveland is likely to see Antonelli early and often is regarded as a distinct possibility. The Giant mainline doesn't measure up to the trio of Sal Maglie Larry Jansen and Jim Hearn, which carried the Polo Grounds banner into the 1951 series. Maglie and Jansen were both in the 20game class that season and Hearn was a 17-game man. Only the 37-year-old Maglie remains in Leo's present big three, along with Antonelli and ißuben Gomes, extrerpely capable Puerto Rican import. Jansen is now a pitching coach and Hearn has gone backwards since hie tremendous season in ’sl. Maglie. too, isn't Ssfrsame barber of the “miracle" year. The curveball specialist will be happy to settle for a 15-game season even though win No. 14 was the one that clinched the crown. Gomez has been a big factor, with his 17 victories and Durocher considers the slim righthander to be his No. 2 pitching gun. The staff has won 56 of 59 games in which it gave up two runs or less and has turned in 18 shutouts, and 21 one-run games. The key to the whole picture lies in the New York bullpen.. There, the Giants boast two _of the game’s best, knuckle-bailing Hoyt Wilhelm and 38-year-old Marv Grissom. Wilhelm has an Unpressive 12-4 record and his earned-run-mark is helow the three run figure in 53 relief appearances. Grissom, righting himself in the stretch after a mid-season slump, has *lO-7 mark and hie ERA is below three runs, too. .Don Liddle, the second lefthander the Giants Milwaukee in the deal for Bobby Thomson, could very well be Leo’s dark horse. When little Don has his control he can be rough — as his 8-4 record indicates. Another southpaw who has contributed some outstanding fireman work is John (Windy) McCall. While Al is in a position to name his pitchers four or five days in advance Durocher has to do it one game at a time. But you can win only one game

at a time even in a best-of-seven series. (Next: Willie Mays and Friends.) BOWLING SCORES G. E.
