NEW YORK ? It was the last
Saturday of the 1949 baseball sea
son. The Yankees, hobbled' by
countless aches and bruises, were
! one game off the American League
' lead with only two games to play
against the first place Boston Red
I Sox.
Man> columnists had deserted
i Yankee Stadium. Kor want of
what they felt would be a mote
I exciting event, they traveled to
, Belmont Park and saw Guillotine
I win the $112,285 Futurity. They
' didn't believe the Yankees had a
chance, especially since Boston
I Manager Joe McCarthy was tossing
i his 25-game ace, Mel Parnell. at
Casey Stengel's battered crew.
Yet. there were 69.551 fans In
the Stadium, including TOO who
eame down from New Haven by
rail on the Joe DiMaggio Special
to honor the Yankee clutch player.
It was Joe DiMaggio Day.
The Yankees had to win this
one to stay in the running. A Red
Sox win meant the pennant.
The Red Sox scored a run In the
first Inning off Allie Reynolds and
in the third Yankee fans began to
moan when the Bosox tallied
three more runs on just one puny
single and five walks. Reynolds
had given up three of the walks
and relief specialist Joe Page had
yielded two more to force home
the second and third runs of the
inning. Thus, the Red Sox led. 4-0
Yanks Scored Two
In the bottom of the fourth the
Yankees bounded back with two
runs on three solid hits.. Fittingly,
| Joe DiMaggio, who had been out
j 13 days due to a virus infection.
I launched the attack with a line
| drive that bounded into the right
' field stands for a ground-rule
I double. After Bill Johnson fanned.
Hank Bauer singled, scoring Di
Maggio. Johnny Lindell singled
and Bauer made third. Bauer
counted when Gerry Coleman
died to Dom DiMaggio in center.
In the fifth, Parnell frittered
away the rest of his lead. Phil
Risnito began with a single to
center. Tommy Henrich singled
over second and when Yogi Berra
singled to center, Rizzuto scored
and McCarthy called on Joe Dob
' son to quell the Yankee uprising.
But Joe DiMaggio h^ a smash that
caromed off Dobson's glove for the
, Yankees' fourth straight hit and
fourth run to tie the score.
In the next two frames the dead
' lock remained. But in the last of
the eighth, ileft fielder Johnny
Lindell came to the plate with two
out. Lindell, wallowing in a season
long slump with a meager .229 bat
ting mark, drove one of Dobson's
fast balls into the left field stands
to make the score 5-4. It was only
Lindell's sixth homer of the season
but it was a big one.
Page Proved Superb
He was the Yankees big hero
along with Page who had allowed
but one hit in the last six and
two-thirds innings to achieve his
13th victory of the campaign, plus
a Yankee tie for the lead.
The following day 68.055 fans
turned out to see the final game
of the season. Vic Raschi racked
up his 21st victory, 5-3, in pitch
ing a five-hitter.
While this game gave Stengel
his first of four straight champion
ships. it was the Lindell home run
game on Joe DiMaggio Day that
left the farts gasping.

Pro. Desert Inn,
Las Vegas, Nev.
The art of "scrambling"?pitch
ing and chipping for one putt when
the green is missed?is well de
veloped by ail the top golfers.
It is virtually impossible for one
to play all four rounds of a big
tournament with perfect shotmak
ing. On at least one round the
player's touch will not be "on"
and he will have to make "saves"
time and time again.
If his short game is good, his
_ I
total for that day will not reflect
many of his misplays. Invariably
the good chipper and pitch player
is a consistent scorer.
Probably the most common error
in playing the short shots, within
100 yards of the hole, is that of
uncocking the wrists early in the
return stroke. The stars never
let the clubhead catch up with the
hands. Even at the completion
of the downswing the clubhead
lags.
Dubbers frequently "flip" the
clubhead. This results in the "fat"
or "chunked" shot in which the
clubhead passes completely under
the bell or hits the turf and never
reaches the ball. These shots
sometimes result in topping the
ball.
Body, arms, hands?everything
?should precede the clubhead on
the through stroke.
