1962 07-13 Dodgers at Mets

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
A victory that enabled the Dodgers to maintain their one
and a half game league in the National League. Punted raid
and the only day game played in the National League.
This afternoon, cal Coons, the rookie right hander of the
Chicago Cubs, pitched a one hit shutout. This youngster was
signed only last summer by the Chicago Cubs, was dispatched

(00:24):
to Class B Baseball to Wadashe and shortly after joining
the Wanashe club, pitched a one hitter. Now, in only
his second year of professional baseball, twenty one year old
right hander from Paydeville, North Carolina has hurled a one
hit shutout, and he knocked off one of the classiest
pitchers in baseball this year, in the knuckle balling right

(00:46):
hander of the Cincinnati Reds, Bob Perky. Quite a feat
for young cal Coons, a twenty one year old right hander.
Today's game was certainly no flute for him. He has
pitchwell all year. He now has won eight games while
losing only two twenty to seven. Ari will check it
for you now. Maury Wells will lead off in the

(01:11):
game against lefty Al Jackson. Maury hitting at two eighty
one the game last night against Roger Craig. Moury was
held in chucky his first three times up, then got
a base hit of the eighth and eight. Betting right handed,
he bunched down the third baseline, it goes foul. Maury
trying to bunny his way on and the bunk goes foul.

(01:35):
Setting up the defense for the New York Mets. Marv
Croenberry at first, Charlie Neal playing second, Elios should con
it short, and Felix Mantilla is the third. In the
outfield Geen woodling and left, Joe Christopher in center and
around and right field Richie Ashburn, Al Jackson pitching, with
Sammy Taylor behind the plate, Junior Gilliam waiting on back,

(02:04):
and then Willie Davis. Here's the wine that pitched by Jackson.
Bunnet's foul off the plate for the second time. Maury
tries to bunny his way on, and he's trying to
bunny his way on base against one of the truly
outstanding fielding pitchers in the game in the New York Mets. Diminuey,
you have little left hand or Al Jackson. Jackson out

(02:34):
of his land up the two strike pitched way up high.
He took him up the ladder on mat one, but
Maury wouldn't bite, and the count one ball and two strikes.
Next pitch outside and low and the count is even

(02:55):
two and two. Well in the ninth game, the Mets
had come very close and could surpassed the half million
mark in home attendance. A crowd the night is needed
of eighteen thousand, seven and sixty four, and we have
a good crowd on hand. Jackson cranks up the two
two pitchs ground ball, hit down the man tee you

(03:16):
back handed by Phelix, long curl out of purs real
good throw by a Phelix man tea. He made a
backhand play going to the lion and he was set
deep behind third when he fired. Maury Rolls, who streaks
down the line, was out by a running stride on

(03:39):
away and nobody the veterans Junior Gilliam up. Gilliam hitting
at two to eighty. He'll be batting right handed against
Al Jackson, left hander. Wines and pitches seeky fastball in
the out back corners, drank one call. Jackson throws a
lot of breaking pitches, but he sneaky with that fastball. Too.

(04:01):
He lacks to set it up and zip it through
on you. Mister Gilliam, breaking ball. This is the outside corner,
one ball in one strike, Junior Gilliam, one of the
elder states, one of this young flying Badger ball club.

(04:22):
Gilliam and I and you're a veteran blacks and foul
back upstairs and out of play. Junior's lifetime batting average
after nine years with two hundred and sixty seven. He's
a real handy man. He can play around the enfield
and play on the outfield for you. Throughout his nine
years with the Dodgers, Junior has had to win a

(04:43):
job every year in spring training, and every year he's
done it, and every year he's really helped the ball club.
One two delivery of foul balls, putting back upstairs and
over our ran goold broadcasting moping out of play well,
Bill mcketney and Charlie Dressing, Zach Wheet dal Eve Oars

(05:04):
had a rouser already. Here they were down and shaking
hands around the dug out and renewing all acquaintances with
Jasey Spingle pitching one and two a high pop fowl,
hoping for a place Sammy Taylor. He runs hired towards
the field boxes and it's out of breaks. One and

(05:37):
two of the count now one out of nobody on
top of the first in all the pregame ceremonies, the
introduction of all the celebrities being honored baseball greats in
the Old Timer's Day game. It augets underway at one
point thirty regular game between the Mets and Dodgers. At

(05:59):
three o'clock up Jackson winding the pittsback Gilliam. He lays
off and it's taking ball to two and two, two
and two on Junior Gilliam, Gilliam, Fete White apart bends

(06:23):
from the waist. The pitch hit of the air right
down the right field line and may go foul fowl
ball into the upper deck. He hit an outside pitch
down the line and into the upper deck of foul ball.
Jackie Robinson and Bobby Feller will be here tomorrow. They'll

(06:44):
be going on to one of the most beautiful spots
in America, Cooper's Town, New York. The two two pitch
a line drive the left center for a pace up
toward the alley. It's going back toward the bleacher wall.
Christopher running him down. Gilliam is Honey's wait at second,
He's done, standing up with a double line drive in

(07:10):
between Jean Woodling and Joe Christopher, a two base hit
for Jim Gilliam. Willie Davis now batting against Al Jackson.

(07:41):
Willie hitting at three h five on the air with
forty five runs batted down. Now Iliosha Khan shades over
towards second man Tilla even with a bag white of
a line of third fits bad Jackson down around the
ankles inside and low one ball in those stripes. Oh,
we haven't absolutely a perfect night for a ballgame, and

(08:05):
the weather man is forecasting more of the same for
our big old Timers Day game tomorrow. Charlie Neil back
on the rint of the outfield, grafts the second against
Willie Davis. Al Jackson kicks the leag deliver slow bounder
foul I went off of his ankle. Greg mldy on
the Lions at first, slipping this one out of play.

(08:27):
Leod Roacher coaching a third for the Dodgers. This is
game two of a fourteen game road trip. Dodgers have
been a good road club this year. They've won twenty
eight and lost fifteen playing away from home out on
the West Coast. At home, the Dodgers have won thirty
one while losing sixteen one one delivery. He bunts down

(08:51):
the third baseline of its day's pard. They haven't got
a chance. It's rolling right on the line and letting
it roll. Give foul, it move foul. Now we hold
the roger inspecting the line. Ralph, that ball stayed Fara's stage,

(09:16):
Farah's page fair and Bammy triple foul. I wonder what's
going through Leo's man. He's trying to figure out why
that ball. After curving back towards parade, Jerry finally decided
to go the other way. While the worm turned. That
looked like one of those Ouiji board things, take one direction,
then take another direction. They put the magnetic glove on
it and drew right off the fair part of the

(09:37):
fifth playing field. Now Sammy Taylor, who was right hovering
on top of the ball waiting for darrol foul I,
guess Anna can put the magnet Meganese backpocket down. One
ball in two drags on Willie Davis and Walter Alston
has the Dodger's bunning against the Mets and Al Jackson
here in the first thing. This is about the last
pitcher on the Mets squad. You'd expect the opposition to try,

(10:00):
but on Al pitched a real good ballgame against the
Dodgers his last start out there on the West Coast.
Next pitch a half swing, but he held up in time.
Jamna's even on Willie Davis at two balls and two

(10:21):
strikes in field. In the outfield that swung around or ride.
Playing Willie as a full hitter, Willie is only three
hits away from the one hundred marks. Tommy Davis needs

(10:42):
only one more hit the matches total output of all
last season. Alice Jackson takes too much time. Willie Davis
steps out Game one last night by the Dodgers. Willi
knocked in the first run. Tommy knocked in the second one.
Here's the pitcher on the way. He struck him out

(11:04):
in a low breaking ball. Sammy Taylor fires down to
first after dropping the ball, come in down. Well. We've
had occasional rang Gold riddles throughout the season. Roulph, here's
a ran Gold riddle. I've always heard that if you
found a hair fin it meant a Bay's hit. Thought
about if you find the squirrel in left field, well,
that's exactly what they got out and left field the squirrel.

(11:26):
Maybe that has something to do with the old times,
playing tomorrow something like squirrely baseball. We may have to
fight him after that. That little fella probably saw a
baseball and thought it was an acorn. He was going
to stow it away in a tree. Tommy Davis up

(11:49):
and the pitcher's inside and lowess ball won. Johannas Wagner
went threw a rabbit at the first base and threw
a runner around of it, the first time anybody was
ever thrown out by a hair. Oh, come on, that's
like Dean Stone. They always say. He was only one
a stone scroll away from winning. Now the pitch to Tommy,

(12:10):
fastball in the outside corner, one ball at one straight,
two men down, Gilly him on second, top of the
first inning. Tommy Davis, who leads to the National League
in batting hitting in three hundred and fifty three. Tommy
also leads in bass. Hets, he leads and runs batted

(12:31):
in ground ball slashed hard to his right, turning Neil.
He's up with a cruise in time. Turlie had great
defensive position that time on Tommy Davis. He was playing
Thomas to pull, playing Tommy Davis to pull, and went
almost behind second to feel the ground ball and throw
him out. No runs, one hit, no errors, one left on.

(12:56):
So the score in the middle of the first that's
the Dodgers nothing and the Mets coming to bat. Well,
there's another weekend that just around the corner. And if
it's as hot as some of them have been already
this summer, no doubt about it, you'll need plenty of cold,
refreshing rain gold extra dry on hand. Why not make

(13:17):
a note right now to be sure to add rain
gold to your weekend shopping list. You know you don't
have to look any further than the label to find
out why rain gold tastes so good. Yes, sir, those
two little words extra dry tell you why it would
be smart to keep plenty of cold rain gold on
hand all summer long. They tell you that rain gold

(13:38):
is brewed the long, slow, costlier way, or a taste
that's breasking, bright and clean, clear through any wonder. Millions
say my beer is rain gold, the dry beer. Here

(14:03):
are the warmups at Philadelphia Billy Odell for the Giants
and Dennis Bennett will pitch for the Phillies. Houston playing
at Pittsburgh to night. Turk Ferrell for the Houston Cold
forty five against Bob Friend of the Bucks. Saint Louis
will be at Milwaukee. The night of the American League.
The Yankees play at Los Angeles. The Red Sox will

(14:24):
be at Kansas City. They're underway in Baltimore, Cleveland nothing,
Baltimore nothing. At the end of one, Jim Perry against
Steve Barber. It's raining in the windy city of Chicago.
In that game delayed because of rain, Richie Ashburn jumps
back in Drysdale's initial pitch. He's inside in lowis ball one.

(14:45):
The Cleveland Baltimore game is Jim Perry against Steve Barber.
Taggers and White Sox held up because of rain. Washington
plays at Minnesota. Drysdale's wind up and pitch a fastball
hit back into the crowd at strike one one and one.

(15:08):
The count now on Richie, Charlie Neil and Deck and
and Jean Woodleigh. Big Die wines and fires off the
outside corner. He came over the top against the left
hand hitter on that one of the count two balls
in a straight Last year, drives Dale won thirteen and
lost ten. This year, he already has won fifteen, ball three,

(15:38):
three and one of the count goes on Ritchie Ashburn.
This is the third time this year that Walter Austin
has started Drysdale against the Mets. He has won two
in two starts, just a four hitter and pitch to
five hitter. Now the tall right hander wins in comes.
He's pitch ball four outside. And Ritchie Ashburn, who over

(16:07):
the years, I'm fifteen of them in the major leagues,
has been a real walking man in the game. Now
needs only two more walks to pass Max Bishop in
the all time walk Derby. That makes him thirteenth on
the all time list and fourth among the active Major
league players. Eddieostan museealand Mickey Manlow the only active players

(16:29):
who have walked more than Ritchie Ashburn. Now Charlie Neel
is up against Don Drysdale. Now down off the stretch,
there goes Ashburn swinging a mess. Here's the peg by
Rose Pearl, the slide. It goes into center field. Richie's
on his way to third. He'll go into third standing

(16:51):
up stolen base or Ritchie Ashburn, and he scrambled to
his and goes on to third. When the throw goes
into center field, there'll be an error charge. And the
errors turned to Larry birr Right, and the pair of

(17:13):
the throw was all right, and burr Ride failed to
get over there, and the ball might have gone right
over the bag. We couldn't tell. So ash Burn is
on third, nobody out. Dons are shortened. The end field
up now not to the edge of the grass, but
the shallow enough to have a chance to make a

(17:35):
play at the plate. Charlie Neal cocks the bat. The
pitch by Drysdale swung on and foul tipped, and the
counts drank two on Charlie Neil hitting at two sixty two.
Larry burr Right, perhaps trying to make the tag a

(17:57):
bit too fast, and the throw got through and went
on in the center field. Roseboro's throw looked like a
good one and had a lot on it and set
it right over the bag. Whether or not it was
going to be in time to get Ashburn is doubtful.
Ashburn had a good jump on the hit and run play.
Here's the two strike pitch inside the high he had

(18:18):
to lean back. Don Drysdale, who throws real flame, is
number two in the National Leg and strikeouse, trailing only
his teammates Sandy Kopax Jean Woodling waiting on deck. How

(18:39):
Drysdale cranks up the one two pitch of swing Animus.
He struck him out. He got in with a high,
hard one. Well. While the attention of the National Leg
has been focused squarely on the Dodgers and Giants, Dandy

(19:01):
Danny murdtoss Pittsburgh Pirates have been silently winning just about
every day. The Pirates are a team just steaming in competence.
They really feel they can win it. They are in
good position right now. They're up in third, only four
and a half games out. With a return to form
of Vernon Law and Joe Gibbon and the hitting of

(19:24):
Bob Skinner, the Pirates have come fast inside and load
of Jean Woodling. It's balls one one ball in those rips. Oh,
New York Mets baseball fans will have a chance to
make their own comparisons, because right after the Giants come in,
the Pirates come in for two doubleheaders Wednesday and Thursday
of next week. The Wednesday twin bill is a day

(19:46):
up fair and the Thursday at twin Bell will be
a twin eyder. Jean Woodling waiting swing animus one on
one on the gentleman farmer from Remsen Corners, Ohio. Jean
woodlan Enfield in closed. Now Drysdale wins and pitches of

(20:10):
qing animes A high fast ladder thrown by Drysdale. One
ball in his strifes. Here's one of the really outstanding
pitchers in baseball, Big Dime Drysdale. Drysdale has won fifteen

(20:33):
and lost only four, and he has earned run averages
two point eight. His last five starts have all been
complete ballgames. He shares the National League lead in complete
games with Juan Marichelle and Billy Odell. Sandy Cofax ride

(20:53):
behind him. Sandy has eleven complete games. Swinging the mouse.
He struck him out Woodling fan by Don Drysdale in
the All Star Game Tuesday down in Washington the New
District of Columbia Stadium. Louis Aparicio let off of the
American League with a free base at and then Don

(21:15):
Drysdale started reaching back and firing. Three men were retired
and Louis was still stranded on third. Now Sammy Taylor
will try and get Richie Ashburn home from third. Last
half of the first. Don't score on the ball game.

(21:37):
Drysdale as the runner at third. Here's the wind that
hits to him. Fastball a little bit outside. Sammy started
to go, and then he held up. He certainly can't
take much time in making up your mind against Don Drysdale,
mister Taylor inside and high fastball walls in those strides.

(22:10):
Most games won in one year by Don since coming
to the Dodgers twice, he won seventeen. He won seventeen
back in fifty seven when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn,
and won seventeen in LA in fifty nine. Two oh
delivery ball three and three and zero on Sammy Taylor,

(22:33):
donstand six section, weighs two hundred and fifteen pounds. Next
putcher on the way. A powel ball cut back upstairs
and out of play, and Sammy had a green lad
on that three nothing fits Casey figuring with it with

(22:58):
Man t right hand batter on and Sammy Taylor a
left hand batter up there. He wanted to go with
the percentages and let Sammy if you had a good
pitch to swing at, try to whack it. Count now
three and one, right Paul on the inside, winner, three
and two. Don Drysdale will be celebrating his twenty sixth

(23:22):
birthday on the same day that the four new inductees
and the Baseball's Hall of Fame are formally inducted at Cooperstown.
Jackie Robinson, Bobby Feller, at rys and Bill mckecton. All
four will be here for the Old Timers game tomorrow.
Now the free two pitchs get off the fist, the

(23:42):
pop foul toward the field boxes, running hardest, Killy embody
can't get there in time. The ball was got high
up in the air to let Gilliam get over there,
and so the count is three and two. On Sammy
and Taylor will have to come back for another bat.
Drysdale with a hummer a jammer in off the fist
and Sammyler broke his back. The Mets need almost nineteen

(24:10):
thousand at the night scheme to reach the half million
mark in home attendants. Now Richie Ashburn with the leadoff third,

(24:34):
here's the three two pitch to Taylor. Now he's on,
He's doing tried long. So Drysdale has walked to and
struck out to here in the first and the hit
her and now is Felix man via Felix hitting in
two seventy two, the six home runs and twenty nine RBI,

(25:05):
A thrownberry waiting on deck. Now dry is Dale up
and putching the sision delivers to the plate high fly ball.
If he's selected by Felix. There it goes home on

(25:57):
Felix man Tea putting the New York mess in front,
free and nothing with a towering fly into the upper
deck in left field or Felix's seventh home run of
the year. He now hikes his RBI total of thirty two.
Our Throneberry is up. Here's the pitch by Drysdale, fastball
in their strank one call a free run homer by

(26:26):
Felix Fantia. Drysdale's delivery on the way is whacked foul
back into the screen. Ralph, I guess there's no wonder
the managers get gray if he had to make a
decision when he had tenor up there three and Ozero
while Mantia came through and evidently Drysdale, after walking Taylor
decided to make the first pitch too good and like

(26:47):
Frankie Brish says, those based on balls, they'll make you
gray swing and a Messana Hardwin and Throneberry has struck
out on three pitches by Don Drysdale, but the Mets
took advantage of two walks by Drysville, the timely home
run by Phelix Vandia three runs on one hit, no errors,

(27:08):
none left on at the end of one, the score
the Mets three and the Dodgers nothing. Well. Everything is
in readiness for the New York mets very first Old
Timers Day game right here at the Polo Grounds tomorrow.

(27:29):
We certainly hope that you're making your plans to be here.
The weather man says that it's going to be a
beautiful day for the big occasion. The New York Mets
will be paying tribute to the two great ball clubs,
the Giants and Dodgers, who fought for the pennant back
in nineteen fifty one and played the dramatic three game playoff.

(27:49):
In addition, many men who contributed so many memories to
this historic ballpark, including no fewer than nine Hall of Famers,
will be here, perhaps to see the Polo Grounds for
the last time since the mescal winto their new plushing
middle home next season. Men coming back who fouled memory

(28:12):
upon memory. Also here tomorrow will be a Brooklyn boy
who played first base for the Dodgers and became quite
famous as the rifleman. Chuck Cunners, the clown Prince of baseball,
Al Shack will be here. The ceremonies on the field
will be getting underway at one point thirty. Why don't
you plan to come early? You won't want to miss
a thing. That's tomorrow the old timers day games. Right

(28:35):
here at the polo ground half Frank Howard up and
the pitchers outside in Lowit's ball one. Howard, big right
hand batter, waiting a line drive up the middle for

(28:57):
a base at the left center and is kind of
over toward the alley. Christopher runs over quickly. Howard takes
to turn at first. He'll hold there with a hard
hit ground single. Now the first baseman, Ryan Fairley coming up. Boy,

(29:21):
he has been real poison to the Mets this year.
Hand some young redheaded fellows celebrated his twenty fourth birthday yesterday,
is hitting four hundred and sixty three against the New
York's Messad eleven ball games barely left hand batter takes
the first one in there for a call. Strake Ran
hitting at two ninety three on the year with forty

(29:41):
RBIs Greg Malevy coaching at first, Leo de Rocher at third.
Mets lead read nothing on Mantillas, three run Homert Jackson
off the stretch delivers outside and low one ball, one stray.

(30:12):
After the Dodgers wind up their three game series here
at the Polo Grounds, they go to Philadelphia. The Giants
are in Philadelphia now and they come here for a
double header Sunday afternoon in a night game Monday night.
Through the first save, but it was closed. Roenberry was
not holding against Frank Howard. He was back all several

(30:33):
steps off the base. They put the playoff and Marv
cut in to take the throw. Hal Jackson makes the stop.
The pitched fairly outside its ball two, two balls and
one scry. Tomorrow the Dodgers will be pitching Stan Williams
and the New York Mets will have Craig Anderson on

(30:54):
the mount now have the two one bitch bowel ball
back upstairs and out of play two and two on
Ryn Fairley. Johnny Roseboro will be up next to then

(31:16):
Larry Burray Let's hand the infield laying fairly to pull

(31:37):
Ilioshi Coon shaded towards second pitching two and two layed
hard in the right field for a way, said Hashpurn,
chasing the ball back to the wall, juggles for a
moment a fairly around first for the hole there and
on the third of those Frank Hollars would that Drews
have opened up the second on back to back pays
this by Howard and fairly before Roseborough steps in. Let's

(31:58):
step out for a station identification.

Speaker 2 (32:01):
At the eight ten spot on your radio dial. This
is w G wise connect today.

Speaker 1 (32:07):
Sports temperature eighty two degrees well. Ron Fairley has been
almost impossible for the metster retire this year. He has
twenty hits and forty two times at bat against New
York Johnny roseborow up round ball hit toward Charlie Neal
heel up with a prow the secondary one back the

(32:28):
first of high wide throw say the first Frank Howard
coming into score, Roan Fairley taking off the baseline. Charlie
Neely Ilo HiCon Ilio's throw was wide on the right
field line side. Groenberry had to leave the bag and
go get the throw. How upright, boy? Give Johnny Roseboro

(32:58):
an RBI on the planet is a three to one game.
Larry Burwright theater and the rookie second baseman takes outside
in lois Ball one Barose Burrow, who was hitting two
eighty is twenty sixth RBI. Next pitch by Jackson, fastball

(33:23):
outside two and oh on bur Ride. Bur Ride hitting
a two twenty three. That's lead three one top haulf
of the second to nothing delivery. He holds up and

(33:45):
it's ball three. Jackson goes behind him three and oh
pitching three and zero strength one called. He bluffed that
step toward first and it's brought back by Jack O'Connell.

(34:12):
Mary Wills in the circle. Don Drysdale will be up next.
Don's had a pretty good year hitting. He already has
fourteen hits this year. He's batting two forty one down
three and one now on burr right. The pitch by Jackson,
the runner goes, the ball has bunnet and it's foul
off to the right. On three and one. They changed

(34:35):
the offensive strategy and burr Wright was trying to bunt
Roseburrow over the second for Drysdale. Listen too often you
see the number eight man in the batting winder with

(34:57):
one down, trying to bun a runner over for the
number nine man, the pitcher pitching three and who ground
ball hit down the third nine t at the Charlie Neil.
There's one Neil, the pronberry, a couple of play off,
the battles out one run, two hits, no errors, none

(35:26):
left on at the end of an inning and a half,
the score that's three and the Dodgers one. And now
an all time great song sung by an all time
great singer.

Speaker 3 (35:38):
This is Helen Trouble.

Speaker 4 (35:39):
I put some new words to a fool song. There
are thought of taverns in the towne, in the town.

Speaker 1 (35:47):
Spot, where you can sit.

Speaker 4 (35:49):
You down, hit you down, friendly, fond and plaster by
and by the last range should cry rhyme most fret
to ronsome taverns. Here sir Frank, who knew your favorite
beer is friston rid and cleans her through, Yes, please.

Speaker 3 (36:06):
Clear through the best You should really came, really case,
take my advice and sees make p please the hey
water ice Pase Ryan holds the beer that.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
Takes the pride, the fears that.

Speaker 1 (36:21):
You came by you and you're kind rended you.

Speaker 4 (36:26):
That's all now one continue want the wrong one for
all next time you're in a tavern if you find
me mis spangled extra time.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
Now New York will have Joe Christopher leading off against
Don Drysdale on the last half of the second. And
for those of you you're planning to come early for
tomorrow's Old Timers Day game, the gates and the bleacher

(37:05):
seal will be at nine to thirty in the morning.
The ceremonies start at one thirty. Joe Christopher holds up
on the swing of breaking ball outside one ball at
those rikes. Big story in baseball this afternoon, a one
hit shutout by rookie right hander Cal Coons, his eighth win.

(37:28):
Here's the pitch on the way, hopped up on the
right side of the nfield, out behind second, under the
ball second basement, burr right, and in shallow right center.
He has it for the eye, one away and nobody.
Cal Coons, who puts the one hitter today for the
Chicago Cubs, is only twenty one years old. He's had

(37:50):
only one year in professional baseball. He was signed by
the Cubs only last year. He's had a Fayetteville, North Carolina.
Drysdale winding to pitch the ilo ground ball, hit down
a third Gilliam moves in to grab the hotpot at

(38:11):
sign proves the first two menda two up and two
sets of side by Drysdale and coming on to it
now will be Al Jackson. American Legion Baseball has sent
so many stars to the major leagues, and Cal Couns

(38:32):
one of the newest members out of American Legion Ball
to rite the headlines in baseball. He starred in collegiate
play at Campbell College in Dewey's Creek, North Carolina, went
out to Winache and Glass b last year. He won
six and he lost ten in a B league last
year and now he's eight and two in the National League.
In his second year. Round Ball hammered toward the hole

(38:53):
of the day, sat running in the right field Al Jackson,
a round thirst is going to cry for a double
the twelve cunning out of he toyed a slide see
two bays hitting the right field for Al Jackson. Little
hell really turned it on. He is one of the

(39:16):
fastest men, if not the fastest, of the entire squad
of the New York Mets. He hit a hard grounder
and threw the hole in the right field, and he
actually hesitated just for a moment going around first. Then
he opened both jets. Maury Wills, who was standing at second,
was giving him the old possum play and though there
was no play to be made for him, but Alison,
you're not fooling me, and he made a fast line

(39:39):
into second for a two bays hit. Ritchie Ashburner to
down Jackson on second bow ball whacked back upstairs and
out of play. Clubs in baseball like the New York

(40:02):
Mets and the Houston Cold forty fives. Undoubted he got
a great deal of encouragement on performances such as the
one turned in today by Cal Coons, who was signed
only a year ago when he came out of college.
Mets who have signed many fine young college players this year.
We'll be looking forward to their development now. Ash burn

(40:24):
up round ball, hit toward the hole fielded by Ryan Fairley,
Drysdale racing over covers in time for the eye. Good
play by Fairly. He went off to his right toward
the hole on the right side of the infield to
feel the ground ball. So the Mets threatened on a
double by Al Jackson, but failed a score, and there
half of the second no runs, one hit, no errors,

(40:45):
one left on, twinnings complete and the score the Mets three,
and the Dodgers won. Mets lead on a three run
homer off Drysdale hit by Phelix Mantilla Well tomorrow. Among
the Giants to be honored Leo de Rocher, who's on
the lines at third here today, Herman Franks, Sid Gordon Big,

(41:08):
Jim hern Monny, Irvin Monny. Was on Ralph Kiner's post
game show last night, Monty Kennedy, Dave Coslow, Jack Lorkey,
Don Mueller, Eddie Stankey, Casey Stinger, Body Thompsonman, Sally Bars
and Alvin Dark of the San Francisco Giants as granted
permission to West westrom to miss the game tomorrow in

(41:30):
Philadelphia that he might be on hand for the Old
Timers Day game. Wes, of course, was the Giants' first
ring receiver back in nineteen fifty one. Dodgers to be
honored will be Charlie just dressing. Charlie is already here.
Gee looked good. He was down in the dugout visiting
with everybody before the ballgame, cal Abrams, Ralph Branca, Roy Campanella,

(41:52):
Billy Cox, Carl Urskin, Gil Hodges, Flag King. It'll be
good to see Clem le Bien back in the polo
grounds again. Cookie have a jetto Jake Kittler, Jim Russell
and Duke Snyder and Ralph. Out of the many, many
great and wonderful stars who will be here tomorrow, It's
pretty hard to single out and guess the crowd reaction
as to who will get the biggest single round of applause.

(42:15):
But you know, I think if I had to guess,
I'd have to single out free men, and this is quickly.
I guess I'd say Casey Stingle, Roy Campanella and Gil Hudges. Oh,
Gil and Casey have been getting the flaws all through
the league, and that certainly wouldn't be a bad guess.
And certainly Roy Campanella, who was so greatful the dog,

(42:37):
really will pull the flaws out of the fan. But
a lot of stars out here, and I think all
the fans will be about clapped out see all their
old favorites back here in the follow ground on top

(42:57):
of the third Any Now, as we move along, hung
the ball game, in favor of the Mets three to one,
and the first batter up for of the Dodgers against
Al Jackson Don Drysdale, and Al's first pitch to down
is a slider down low for ball one. Jackson so
far has given up three bay sits, two of them

(43:19):
scoring one run. He has struck out one and walked none.
Al with a record of four and nine, and the
pitch back to Drysdale, batting from the right hand side
is outside ball two, two balls, and those strides. Drysdale,
with eight runs batted in and a two forty one
betting now reached good hitter for a pitcher. It will

(43:41):
be Drysdale, Mary Wills, and Jim Gilliam against Jackson. Here
in the third two old pits swung on and missed
for strike one. Jackson with a record of zero to
two against the Dodgers. He has made three starts against

(44:02):
them this year. Now into the wind up and back
to the plate with a two to one pitch, and
it's bound slowly down towards third. Mantilla cuts across in
front of Shot, picks it up, throws the first pace
easily in time out Number one. Old Drysdal is down
and Mory Wills, waits patiently in the on deck, are
going to give Drysdale a chance to get back to

(44:24):
the dug out and rest up a bit before his
start of the third inning. Moriy Wills betting for the
second time. He was retired on a good play by
Mantia third his first time up. Came into the game
betting two to eighty one. He leads the major leagues
and with forty six Dolen bases Wills, a switchitter batting

(44:52):
right handed, and the pitch to him is a fastball
right through for strike one. Morey Wills, the All star
shortstop for the National League. He, along with Dick Gross
now set says. Jackson returns to the play with a
curve that's outside, one ball, one strike, with one out

(45:16):
Mets three on a three run home run by Mantilla,
Dodgers won Al Jackson back to work with a one
one pitch to Wills, and he misses with a fastball
down all football to two balls and one strike. Con
deck batter Jim Gilliams al twenty six years of age

(45:43):
into the windup and back two Will and it's a
swing and a file down in the ground and the
cat going to two balls and two strikes second game
of this three game series, final of the series tomorrow afternoon.
Then on Sunday the Giants come in. They train all
the Dodgers by one half game in the National League
Giants on Sunday for a doubleheader, a night game on Monday,

(46:08):
and then the third place Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday and
Thursday doubleheaders. And to two. Pitch to Jackson hip through
the hole on the right hand side at the right
field for a base hit and Morey Wills the major
big base. They're all at first base with one man out,
and it brings up Junior. Give him William double the

(46:36):
left field his first time up, Bullshad off al Jackson's
score three to one in face in the first base.

Speaker 6 (46:45):
Jackson with a good move, looks there, then goes there.

Speaker 1 (46:47):
It was a love lead first Dace jacks up Steel
Wills the first base. You can bet that Jackson will
be throwing their plenty. Will's bigger now when his lead
and the pitch to the plate is a basketball on
the inside corner halls strike one by Jack O'Connor. Jackson
surprised even Gilliam with that base. He went into the

(47:09):
stretch and this game right to the plate without wasting
any time at first base. One strike count to Gilliam.
Will's at first base now leading off, and the throw
there chases him back again. Jackson just going over there
with a noosance throw. That's not his best move. Now
Jackson over again, this time was more on the ball,

(47:31):
but Will's back easily. Moy Wills has only been throwing
out or picked up six times this year, twice by
Roger Gray. There's a quick throw to first base, but
Will's back in standing up safe playing. Wills has tolen

(47:54):
off Jackson and he leads off about six steps and
it pits back to the plate. Season stay there as
Paul strike two, William taking the fastball on the outside
corner at the knees, all in two to the second
place hitter. The on deck man is Willie Davis. Dodgers
trail by two, the Mets three. Dodgers won Mal Jackson

(48:21):
again into the stretch, looking at his runner, he does
not go the pitches. Bouncing the turret, he gets away
from Sammy Taylor and moving on down to second base.
On the wild pitch Moreywell wild pitch charged to Al
Jackson Will's moving to second base now Gillian with a
one to two count. The last night's game, will single,

(48:50):
his last time up was bun at the second base
and he moved on over but did not have a
chance to steal. Did not attempt to steal. Jackson coming
in to doctor sam miteo that pits bounced and the
dirt and bounced up and hit him on the chest
protector and then rolled about seven or eight feet away

(49:15):
one two count.

Speaker 6 (49:16):
As Jackson looks at the runner comes to the plate
with a basketball.

Speaker 1 (49:19):
It's lying in the right field. Here comes back from
with a throw. Here comes well, the crows are up
on the fire. The tackets in time. Perfect call. Why
as for that ball with ball hit and Ashburn took

(49:56):
it quickly. Will did not get a good jump at
second base, but came on in any way. Leoda Roacher
setting him in. The throw was perfect and they got
well just in time. You out now moving on down
the second base after the single, Junior Gilliam and the
batter is Willie David score three to one in favor
of the messages they battled to they gleating Dodgers and

(50:18):
the first pitch to the left handed batter is hit
out the right center field. That's fort hurrying over to
his left. Not for it? Why not who third base?
Said Billy Davis, And the throw comes in and holds
him there, scoring ahead of Davis Junior, kill him and
the score is three to two. That was a long

(50:49):
line drive hit the right center field. As for going
over quickly to is right, got his glove on the ball,
almost caught it, but it bounced off as glove. It
scored a three bays and the score of the game
now three to two. That's tip number six off of
Al Jackson. And the batter is Tommy Davis, the league leader,
and runs battered in. Tommy Davis, who has a fourteen

(51:24):
game hitting street going batting in the batter's box. Now,
the first pitch to the right handed batter is down
low for ball one. Tommy grounded out to second base
his first time up. He hit the ball well, Charlie
Neal making a good play. He came into the game
as the Major league leader hitting with a three fifty
three average. Willie Davis on third base. Two outs and

(51:49):
the wind up as Davis breaks halfway down, then stops
and the pitches low for ball two. Two balls and
those strikes. Jackson working low to the league leader in
runs battered, in batting average, and in bases Tommy David.

(52:15):
Now the pitch back to Tommy and it's bounced down
the shore. The tough chance for tir Cone. He can't
handle it. The throw is off line, but Tommy David
beats to throw and scoring from third base Willie David
and the scored an error on Elio Chakan. So the
game is all tied up with three to three, and
the batter.

Speaker 6 (52:34):
Now with the runner at first base is Frank Howard.

Speaker 1 (52:37):
That was a tough chance. The bouncing ball should go
and charge it, got it on the half hop.

Speaker 6 (52:41):
The tough hop couldn't handle it with the glove had
bounced away.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
He picked it up but threw late the first bait.
The throw is wide and it's the first air of
the ball game for the Mets. Now Frank Howard, the
right handed batter, and the first pitch to Howard is
splashed off on the right side, going down the right
a line and file a long strike to Frank Howard

(53:16):
moving back to first base. Now Tommy Davis. Howard single
to center field is first time up and he scored
the first run of the game for the Dodgers. There
goes the runner. The pitch is high. Taylor has trouble
getting the ball out of his glove and fighting them
safely with a stolen base, as Tommy Davis evidently on

(53:40):
the pitch. Sammy Taylor and his anxiety to get to
the ball, got his finger in ahead of the ball
and the ball jammed him. And now Gush mosses out
to talk to him and look it over. Sammy got
the finger in ahead of the ball before the ball
arrived and got jammed up by the pitch moving down
the second base on the play. Tommy Davis with this

(54:01):
eleventh stolen base of the year. Now time goal is
Jack o'connen along with Gus takes a look at the
injured digit three three game. It's two outs in the
top of the third inning, and while we have a
second heir, let's check the scores in the National League.

(54:23):
In a day game, Chicago defeated Cincinnati one and nothing,
a one hitter by Kyle Koontz. He now has won
eight games. The Blasting game. Got the only hit in
the ball game, a single in the fourth inning at
Philadelphia Nothing Nothing. San Francisco against the Phillies through two
and a half, Odell pitching against Dennis Bennett Pittsburgh with

(54:44):
two runs in the bottom half of the first and
they have taken a lead over Using two to nothing
through one and a half. Churt Ferrell going for the
cold forty five and Bob brind for Pittsburgh. Saint Louis
of Milwaukee. The starting pitchers Gibson and Spawn now Casey's
Dingles coming out to take a look at the finger
of Sammy Taylors in the American League of the game

(55:06):
to start at eleven o'clock New York time, the Yankees
against Los Angeles. The Angels won the first game of
that series five to four last night. Big crowd over
forty six thousand now at Dodgers Stadium. Boston will play
Kansas City game time at ten o'clock New York time,
and Baltimore now leading Cleveland two to nothing through three innings.

Speaker 6 (55:29):
Perry pitching for the Indians.

Speaker 1 (55:31):
And Steve Barber going for the Orioles in a nine
o'clock game, and it's being held right now because of rain.
Detroit playing the White Sox in Chicago. We don't have
the starting pitchers for that game as of yet, and
Washington playing Minnesota with Chenie pitching for the Senators against
Passual for the Minnesota Twins. In the National League, of course,

(55:54):
the Dodgers' lead for San Francisco Giants by one half
game in third place pittsburghe and a half back since
that in fourth place, they trail by eight and one
half games in Saint Louis, ten games back in fifth.
In the American League, the Yankees lead Cleveland by four
percentage points, a virtual tie for first place, Los Angeles

(56:15):
in third place, a game and a half back Minnesota
in fourth. They are four and a half games back,
and they have lost five in a row to drop
behind the Yankee Detroit playing in the fifth position. As
they start play to night, they are five games behind
the league leaders. While time is in and Sammy Taylor

(56:35):
is still in the ballgame, two outs now, the score
all tied up at three to three, and the count
one ball, one strike gone. Frank Howard al Jackson, looking
for the sign from Taylor, takes a long look, now
goes into the stretch.

Speaker 6 (56:55):
Position, checksas runner at second base, and comes to the.

Speaker 1 (56:58):
Play with a slow curve that's low ball to two
balls and one strike, two balls and one strike to

(57:18):
Frank Howard and the pitch back as they change up
line right at Charlie Neal and he comes up with
the ball to retire the side. That ball was a
shot just to the right of Charhnny Neal, and he
took it about a foot off of the ground, and
the inning for the Los Angeles Dodgers two runs on
three hits, one air, one man left and the score

(57:42):
at the end of showing what happening to play the
Dodgers three the New York message three. Well, now here's
a familiar tune. Well worth marching.

Speaker 6 (57:51):
Two musicians play it, people say it.

Speaker 1 (58:28):
My beer is Ryan Gold, the dry beer, and dry
tells you why, Yes, their dry tells you Ryan Gold
has a brisk, bright, clean taste. All it's all discover
the difference drive makes for yourself a tall, refreshing glass
of ryding Gold extra drive. Why don't you enjoy it
right now, right now along with the game. And this

(58:49):
game is certainly an enjoyable one to score all tied
up at three to three, and it's a practically a
duplicate of the first game of this series, won by
the Dodgers with Sandy Kolpax and Larry Sherry teamed up
to pitch a three hitter in a very exciting ball game,
the Dodgers winning the game against the Mets. They lean

(59:10):
against the Mets in the season series, then to one,
and they are four and all here at the follow ground.
First batter up for the Mets here against Don Drysdale,
Charlie Dale. It'll be Neil, Woodley and Taylor as Drysdale
pitches here in the bottom half of the third and
the first pitch to Neil has swung on and fouled

(59:31):
away strike one. Charlie was the first strikeout victim picked
up by Drysdale. He struck out the side and the
first inning as a Mets scored three pitch back to
Neil just off the outside part of the play, one ball,
one strike.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
Charlie batting two sixty two, and the right hander winning
now is Drysdale.

Speaker 1 (59:59):
Fire is a fastball let her high swung on a
mis for strike two. Twenty five year old Don Drysdale,
with quite a career behind him. He'll be twenty six
on July twenty third. Lives in Van Eys, California, looking

(01:00:19):
for the sign he's six foot six in the mountain,
goes into the windup and comes back with a one
to two pitch. It bounces back to the mount. Drysdale
a good play, takes it on the first half turn
throws in time out number one as Don flagged that
one down just to his right. Now the batter Jean,
Woodland and Gene also struck out, following Charlie Neale in

(01:00:41):
the first inning, zero for one, batting two twelve At Philadelphia,
the Phillages have scored three runs in the bottom half
of the third. The lead San Francisco three to nothing.

(01:01:01):
First pitch to Jean is outside ball one. Woodleean batty
from the left hand side, one ball. Those strikes one out.
Score tied to three to three. Now Drysdale back to
the plate with a fastball. It's outside for ball two.

(01:01:22):
A full years ago, the American leg used to be
the fastball leg. The National League was a curveball leg.
Right here with the Dodgers, they've got some flame throwers. Colfax,
Drysdale and Williams. Williams schedule to go in tomorrow afternoons game.
There's a fastball again outside and high ball three and
if you don't like those three for hard throwers.

Speaker 6 (01:01:43):
Take Larry Sherry.

Speaker 1 (01:01:46):
He pumps it pretty hard too. Then there's always Johnny
Podreves the three old pitch to Jean. It's a little
bit high for ball four, and Woodleam's saying in the
batter's box almost pulled me. He moves on down to
first base. That is the third walk of the game

(01:02:07):
issued by Drysdale. His two previous walks cost him two runs.
They preceded a home run by Phoenix Mantia, two hits
off Drysdale and three runs. The Mets have given up
three runs and sixty's to the Dodgers. It's all tied up.

Speaker 6 (01:02:23):
At three to three.

Speaker 1 (01:02:25):
Now the batter Sammy Daylor Sammy walked his first time up.
He's betting two eighteen and he hits one the center field,
chasing Willie Davis, who has left. He cuts in now
calls for the ball, makes a catch and the Laws
go to first base says one. He hurried back, is
not in time, and it was a close playing. Drysdale
now was in there arguing for that. Two dollars on

(01:02:46):
Leae came on in there, and that's all hurried in
there and just about got him. Oh you don't often see.
I'll fit a throw back to first base, and Gene,
evidently not thinking that the throw is coming, did not

(01:03:06):
fly it. It was a close play, but wasn't He's
safe with two outs, and the batter is Phoenix Mantia
and Phoenix the producer of the three runs for the
mess let's say three to three games. It was Mantea's
seventh hold one of the year that gave the Mets,
say three hunhing lead. And the first pitch of the

(01:03:29):
right hander bounces in the dirt, gets away from Roseboro,
bouncing out in front of the plate, but winding holes
at first base. And while we have a second, we'll
take this opportunity to pause for a station identification.

Speaker 2 (01:03:40):
Missus w g wis connected the eight ten on your
radio dial. The time two minutes passing nine o'clock.

Speaker 1 (01:03:51):
Ralph Conner along with Bob Murphy and Lindsey Nelson from
the polar ground as and drives. Deal goes into the
stretch and the one old pitch to Mantia is outside,
gets away from Roseboro again. He can't find the ball,
but holding at first base woodlane, rosebroo like a cat
when he didn't find it, pouncedown, it came up ready
to throw, but Jean Holding at first base. Two balls

(01:04:12):
and those strikes. Prior to Phoenix Mantia's three run home run,
the Dodger pitchers had given the Mets only one run
in their last three games. No Mantia breaking through the

(01:04:32):
strong Dodger bitching, and he has a two old count
as Dale goes back to work and the pitch of
the fat ball line at center field, Dave aspects that
he tried after the ball that bounces in for a
base there and coming on in the throw to Morey
Wills and holding at second base Jean Woodlane. No Phoenix
Mantia two for two off Don Drysdale. The matter now

(01:04:54):
Mark Drowberry Mars druck Out swinging his first time up.
He's betting two forty four and the Mets dollars runners
at first and second base and two out three three games.

(01:05:21):
First pitch to Marb's outside ball, one the fastball. It
was Mark Brumberry who got the Mets off to a
fine start as they started this home stand against the
Saint Louis Karnos. He had a pinch hit home run
the ninth ending to give the Mets their first win

(01:05:43):
their second win. There's a play on a second winning
dies back in the ball is off world club rolling
back at second.

Speaker 6 (01:05:49):
Base, but winning does not go as the second baseman.

Speaker 1 (01:05:54):
Larry Burrwright huffes over to retrieve it, running diving back
into second base, now dusting himself all one ball and
nose strike. Two outs runners at first and second. Guys

(01:06:16):
d All, looking for the sign from miss Getri Roseborough,
goes into the stretch.

Speaker 6 (01:06:21):
And comes to the plate inside and low for a ball.

Speaker 1 (01:06:24):
Two basketball let no Drumberry's left foot out of there.
Two balls and nose strike. Guysdale has two wins and

(01:06:44):
no losses against the men's. He's pitched the four hitter
and a five hitter and the two oz pitches swung
on and miss strike one basketball let her high over
the outside part of the plate, two balls and one strike.
Don's two wins, a four hitter and a five hitter,
and in this ball game, the Mets have picked up

(01:07:05):
three hits while scoring three runs. Drysdale backs off the
pitching rubber asked for another sign. He's been throwing mostly
fastball out here tonight, especially in the early stages of
the game with the twilight. Now it's completely in the
hands of the artificial light. No twilight at all. Here's

(01:07:28):
the two to one pitch and this one catches the
inside corner call strike two.

Speaker 6 (01:07:32):
Rowberry didn't like the call.

Speaker 1 (01:07:51):
Two balls and two strikes, two outs, and the next
pitch to the left handed batter has swung out of
miss strike three, go drive Helpi up. Strikeout number four
a big one to retire the side. In the ending
for the Mets, no runs on one hit, there were
no errors, one walk, two men left on, and the

(01:08:12):
score at the end the three innings of play the
Mets three, the Dodgers three. Well after the Dodgers leave
down after the Old Dimers game on Saturday afternoon, it's
the end of that game starts at one thirty. The
Old Timers game. The regular game starts at three. The
Mets will play the San Francisco Giants and the Big

(01:08:33):
double header on Sunday, a night game on Monday, have
the day off on Tuesday, and then play a doubleheader
on Wednesday against the third place Pittsburgh Pirates, who are
a red hot that are really sticking up on the
Dodgers and Giants. They are only four and a half
games behind. And also there will be a twilight night
doubleheader on Thursday and that will complete the homestand and

(01:09:41):
Top of the fourth inning, the game all tied up
three to three. Al Jackson now working to Ron Fairley
and Ron certainly the hottest man against the Mets on
the Dodger squad, and the first pish to the left
handed batter is a check on the swing, but it
cost him a strike as he fouled it off. One
strike and no balls Ron Fairley with twenty hits in

(01:10:01):
his last forty two times a bat against Cements. He
is one day over twenty four. Incidentally, today is Daryl
Spencer's birthday. There's a pitch back to Fairly a little
bit high for ball one. One ball one strike. Daryl
Spencer is thirty three years of age today. Three to

(01:10:24):
three game. As Jackson works in the top of the broth,
he has given up three runs on six.

Speaker 6 (01:10:29):
It's struck out, one walk, none and the one one
pitches a let up curve ball.

Speaker 1 (01:10:33):
It's just off of the plate for ball two. Two
balls and one. Now a left hander into the windup
and back to Fairley and it's inside for ball three.

(01:10:56):
Ron deck batter John Roseboro. He'll be following by Larry Burwright.
Jackson went into the wind up and back to the
play with a three to one pitch and he misses
again for ball four, and that's the first walk issued

(01:11:17):
by Al Jackson, giving the Dodgers a runner first base
with no one out and bringing up John Roseboro. John
drove in the run his first time up when he
hit into a force play, forcing Fairly at second base
and allowing Howard to score from third. Base on the

(01:11:38):
attempt the double play, which didn't come off. Roseboro betting
to Eddie for the year and betting from the left
hand side. The first pitch to him is hit up
in the air to shadow left field. Woodlean under the ball.
I'm moves in a couple of steps and makes the
catch out number one, returning to first base, Ron Fairy,

(01:12:01):
Now the better Larry Burwright, we're riding into a double
play his first time up. He came into the game
with a two twenty three average. Bur right playing at
second base, that's on the right hand side Jackson. With

(01:12:25):
his first pitch to the right hander hit on the
ground and the short stop Sha Cone, he takes second
base by himself. So it's the first pasion time for
double play. And that is the second time that bur
Ride has entered an ending by hitting it into a
double play. And that double play the seventy ninth of
the year for the New York Mets and the inning
for the Dodgers. No one's, no hits, there were no errors,

(01:12:47):
one walk, no one left in his care. At the
end of three and one half innings of play, the
Dodgers three, the Mets three. Hey, did you ever notice
how manager Juggles is lining up until he comes up
with a winner. He keeps moving his players around until
he finds the right man for the right position. You

(01:13:07):
know what makes sense.

Speaker 6 (01:13:08):
And filler cigarettes too, spoke all seven leading feller cigarettes,
and I bet your taste will tell you to stick
with Vice Roy because some cigarettes taste too strong, like
they didn't have a fielder at all, and others, well,
others taste too light. They take all the fun and
flavor out of squaking. Vice Roy tastes the way you'd

(01:13:29):
like a filler.

Speaker 1 (01:13:30):
Cigarette to taste, not too strong, not too light. Vice
Roy's got the taste. That's right. Weice Roy and the
familiar softback are the exclusive new slidetop case. You've heard
about the field on this cigarette. But the Viceroy taste
is the best thing. He means. Vice Roy tastes the

(01:13:52):
way you'd like to filter cigarette to taste, not too strong,
not too light. Vice Roy's gone that taste that stripe,
that's right. Incidentally, those two double plays turning in by
the Mets to run their total to seventy nine, sending
one thousand Vice Roy cigarettes apiece to the north Port

(01:14:14):
Betteran's Hospital in Long Island courtesy of the Brown and
Williamson Tobacco Corporation. Guys score three to three game and
the first batter up for the Mets will be Joe
Christopher on the mound on Drysdale and his first pitch
is pulk foul out of play for strike one. Riisdale

(01:14:35):
has given up three runs, allowed only three hits. He
has struck out four and walked three. Big John looking
for his sixteenth win of the year. He's lost only
four games, and he comes back with the curve and
misses outside ball one. For years, Drysdale claimed the reason

(01:14:55):
why he didn't win twenty games every year he has
never done it was that he had to pitch in
the coliseum with a short left field fence. Actually, his
record was better in the Colisseum than it was in
the road during those years through fifty eight to sixty one.
Now he comes back with a fastball for strike two.
This year, Don seems to be well on his way

(01:15:15):
to becoming the pitcher that everyone claimed he would be.
And the big right hander back in the wind up
for the one to two bits, and this one is
just a little bit outside for ball two. Don Roseborough
thought he had that one two balls and two strikes

(01:15:43):
going out the bottom half of the poor thinning, and
the two pitch by Drysdale bounced through the pitcher's mound,
coming over his Wills back a second up with the
ball over the first in time, wary Wills, with a
lot of range at shortstop, moving the back of the
bag to take that bouncing ball next to three of
you scoring in the batter. Now it is your Gonnell.

(01:16:07):
For years we thought that Louis Appartio was the best
shortstop in baseball during the present plane, but this year Wills,
with a stolen bases, he's way ahead of Apparratio, certainly
taking over as the top shortstop in baseball. There's a
pitch to Chicagon hit out the right field, coming on
Big Frank Howard, and he takes it in. Frank sharrounds

(01:16:31):
that ball out in the outfield. Two men out now
and the batter will be the pitcher. Al Jackson Al
double down the right field line and took advantage of
some speedy base running to smids the single into a
double against Frank Coward's fine drawing arms. He has one

(01:16:52):
of the three hits off Drysdale, not even the left
hand side. But two outs, three to three game, and
the first pitch by Drysdale has swung on a miss,

(01:17:13):
strike one, Jackson with a big swing. You ever want
to check how the opposition regards the opposing pitcher when
he's batting, just check how they play. Right now, you
can tell the Dodgers respect Jackson by playing him as
a pull hitter against Drysdale. There's a big swing and
another miss for strike two. Whenever you can figure a

(01:17:35):
batter to pull Drysdale, you have to figure he's a
pretty good hitter. Now the two strike pitch to Jackson,
this one is an attempt at a bunt strike three. No,
Drysdale retires aside by picking up his fist strikeout and
in the ending for the Mets three up and three down.

(01:17:55):
The score at the end of four and is complete,
the Dodgers three, the Mets three. I'm we're moving now.
At the top of the fifth Indy and once again
here's Bob with the scores. All right, Ralph in the
games away from the Polo Grounds. At the end of
four and a half, Phillies three and the Giants one.
The Giants picked up a run on the top of

(01:18:16):
the fifth hunning. That's Billy Odell against Dennis Bunnett, Pittsburgh three,
Houston nothing at the end of three, Turk Farrell against
Bob Friend. Saint Lewis did not score in the first
off Warren spot Bob Gibson pitching for the Cardinals. In
a day game at Regular Feel, the Cubs beat Cincinnati
one to nothing on a one hit shutout by twenty

(01:18:36):
one year old Kyl Coons from Fayetteville, North Carolina. In
the American League, the Yankees at Los Angeles tonight. That
game will not start untill eleven. The Red Sox play
at Kansas City. Those two teams slipped a twin bill
last night. Paulomore got three in the last of the fourth,
I think and chasing Jim Curry. And now at the
end of four, the Birds lead the Indians five to nothing.

(01:19:00):
Throwing Steve Barber is on the mind for the Orioles,
and Bill Daily relieved Jim Perry in the fourth inning.
They have a game delayed because of rain in Chicago
tonight the Tigers and White Sox. They're underway in Minnesota.
Washington did not score off Camilo Pasquall. Tom Cheney will
pitch for the Washington Senators. So that's the rundown on

(01:19:21):
scores of other ballgames right here at the Paulo Grounds.
Tomorrow's big one with the Dodgers and the old Timers, game,
double hitter with the Giants on Sunday night. Game of
the Giants Monday Night Tuesday will be off. Danny murd
toss red hot Pittsburgh Pirates coming in for two double
hitters Wednesday in the afternoon and Thursday Dwin Eier fans

(01:19:44):
light up of Ice Roy and find out what we
mean when we say Vice Roy has got the taste.
That's right now. Dom Drysdale is up against Al Jackson
in the fifth inning and the pitcher's bounced foul off
the plate coming back to Don will be followed by

(01:20:09):
Maury Wills and then by Jim Gilliam. Dodgers three runs
on six hits and one air. New York three runs
on three hits, one air. Jackson wines and comes he's pitch,
and this time Drysdale holds up in time and the
count is even, one ball, one strike. Both of the

(01:20:29):
pitchers in this ballgame, Al Jackson and Don Drysdale are
respected as hitters. Pitching one in one and the ball
is a foul pop up over toward the field boxes.
Thronberry may or may not have room over he goes
he's got it. Good catch, good play by Marv Thrownberry.

(01:20:52):
One handed a foul ball over near the field box.
Really Drysdale retired and on to it and now will
be more. Harry Wells Mariy was thrown out on a
real good backhand play made by Felix Mantilla at the
opening inning. Then he singled to right field. In the third.
He took second on a wild pitch. He tried to

(01:21:12):
score from second base on a base hitt the Wright
field by Junior Gilliam and Richie Ashburn uncorked a perfect
road and nail Murray Wells at the plate. Little Maury,
hitting right handed, chokes up on the handle of the bat,
tries to butt. He misses strike one. Mary does not

(01:21:37):
have a stolen base so far in the series. Roger
Craig kept him off the basis three st eight times
from the game last night. He singled in the eighth inning,
taking up high one ball, one strike to Mariy Wells.
Mariy has a great chance to ride an inw National
League record in stolen bases. He has an outside chance

(01:22:00):
at the modern record held by a tie Cob of
night Cob of ninety six. Of course, Ty had one
great thing going for him over Maury Wells, the one
one delivery hip field line that may stay fair to
the seats. That's going. It's called a home run to
right field. Marriy Wells hitting his third home run of

(01:22:32):
the year. All three have been hit right here at
the Polo runs. He hit the other two in one
ball game. One was an inside the park home run.
So little Mary Wells has put the Dodgers in front
by a score of four to three with a home
run into the lower deck in right field, not too
far from the foul pole. He hit it off Al Jackson,

(01:22:52):
Batting right handed. He hit the ball to the opposite
field and into the lower deck. So Maury is at
three home runs, all of them here on the polo grounds,
outside and low. It's ball one. He sent two into
the right field seats, and then, batting left handed, he
hit it inside the park home run the right center field.

(01:23:16):
Jackson out of his land a pictures to gilliam a
strike on the outside corner. One ball and one strike.
Have a picture on the way. That's a strike on

(01:23:38):
the outside corner. One ball and two strides one two
delivery a ground or slash. Deshort comes up on an eeh,

(01:23:59):
how freely the pig that Thronberry is in time. It
was back on Memorial Day, May thirtieth that Maury Willis
had two home runs in one ballgame. He homered in
the fifth inning off Bob Morehead and then homered in

(01:24:21):
the ninth inning off Niger Ben Mysell. Wibbe Davis takes
a pitch in there for a call. Stracked. Maury has
hit only four home runs during his major league career.
He at one last year. He hit none in nineteen
fifty nine and sixty. He now has three this year.

(01:24:46):
Brown Ball hammered down the first pig hot taken by Thronberry.
The race to the back he beats him. Davis is out.
That ball took a sudden bad hot, but Thronberry reacted quickly,
reached up and glow the hand of it, and he
beats Willie Davis to the base to retire the side.
But the Dodgers take the lead on the home run

(01:25:07):
by Maury well one run, one hit, no errors, then
left on, so we've come halfway on the score at
the end of four and a half innings, the Dodger's
four and the Mets three. An hour word from Viceroy's Cigarettes.
I was at the races and the track was fast,
and the horse's eye back round dead last. I couldn't

(01:25:29):
believe it. At the gal next to me had just
finished picking three out of three. It was plain to
see I could use some advice, so I offered her
a smoke, just to break the eyes. She said, I
only smoke filters.

Speaker 6 (01:25:41):
The summer's so mild.

Speaker 1 (01:25:42):
You can hardly taste, and I just smiled. I said,
Vice Roy tastes the way you'd like to filter cigarette
to chase. Not too strong, not too light. Vice Roy's
got the taste. That's right, that's right, that's right. Now
that I go to the track high win, how I

(01:26:04):
bring along my next to kids. That's right. So I
want you to know, and I'll take all bets. If
you smoke all seven Builders cigarettes you find some too
strong and some too light. With Vice Roys God, that
tastes such right, that's right, that's right now. The last

(01:26:28):
of the fifthpenning that's treading for the first time tonight
Thatdger's out in front four to three on the homer
by Moray Wills, and Ritchie Ashburn is up against Don Drysdale.
Ritchie has drawn a walk and grounded out big Don
Winding in comes his bench blazer inside of an eave
one ball in those rights. Ritchie was on base when

(01:26:50):
man Tea parked a three running homer into the upper
deck and left field. Ground ball had tore the whole
back Catty reached it, go ship to the outfield for
a base. Will's trying to make a backhand play deep
in the hole, but Richie's on with a quan bass head.

(01:27:15):
Let's base hit number four off Drysdale. Let's have the
tying run on Richie Ashburn. Nobody out the Hitterus Jarvy
Neal Jarvy has struck out and grounded out Pitcher. The
first ground ball that he was thrown out on by
Don Drysdale was hit harder. Drysdale reached out flagged it
down with a backhand staff. Now we had time out

(01:27:43):
being asked for five of New York message. They get
straightened out on the sands. Charley Neil stepping in enthusiastic
crowd backing up the Mets now hoping they can get
it going against Grysfield. The winning was pitcher and major
league ball way outside a good stab by John Roseburg.

(01:28:04):
He had the lunch out and back ended Jean Woodland
cross to the on deck circle with Sammy Taylor to follow,
last half of any number of five Dodgers in front.
Four three. Rysdale up in pitching position, rose the first,

(01:28:25):
not in time. Ritchie Ashburn hustling back. Richie came up
with a great throw to cut down Morey Willis trying
to score from second on a single to ride earlier
in the game. For the first Ritchie has to dive
to get back. Real close play at first base. Rysdale

(01:28:52):
with a real good, hard fast move the first base.
That one was closed. John agreement, you and this might
be playing hit and run, and he's trying to keep
Ashburn boats throw the first save the after again. Blome's back.
Get along, John Drysdale really going to work on Richie Ashburn.

(01:29:19):
Now Richie up with his lead once again. Throw the
first four in a row and he's back again. Last
three times which he said to come back here with
a belly walker. Now Drysdale into the supposition deliver us

(01:29:46):
to the plate outside in law of breaking ball missing
in a count goes to nothing on. Charlie Neil. Now
Charlie out of the batter's box, getting his sign from Sallyhemos,

(01:30:13):
Ashburn leading out first and comes to pitch blazing fastball
over a call Strake two and one. Now Ashburn grabsy lead,

(01:30:39):
draws the throw dives back once again. It's four times
the Ritzie has had to come sprawling back head first
in order to get back ahead of the throw by
Don Drysdale. Ashburn the tying roll on first. Nobody out.
We're in the last half of the finn at. This
has been a ball game packed with excitement. Charlie Neil

(01:31:03):
checking with Sally Hemus and Sally relays the signs along
from manager Casey Stingles. Dodgers have the in field straight
away against Charley and the on field straight away pitching
two and one ground ball hit hard, that's the middle
of base heads Ashburner around second, vote trying for third.
Willie Davis rowing the fair of the slide, but on
the second gosteal runners of second and third. Charley Neil

(01:31:47):
racing in the second on the throat of third by
Willie Davis, and now the Mets have runners on second
and third. Nobody out. Neil single the center with a
hot smash. Ashburn one around a third, and Charlie took
second on the float of third. I've seen Woodland winning.
Here's the Pitts filling a high fly ball the left

(01:32:10):
center field. Ashburn is tagging up, Willie Davis getting under it.
He makes the catch. Here comes Ashburn, he'll score. The
pro comes across cord Burn and the game is past.
Jean Whodling ties it up with a fly ball the

(01:32:30):
left center field. Now in New York, that's with the
tie breaking run on second, one out in their cleanup batter,
Sammy Taylor facing down Drysdale down looking in to take

(01:32:58):
his sign from Johnny Roseboro the nfield playing Taylor to
pull back deep and swung around toward right Grisdale off
the stretch. Here's the pitch on the way. A ground
ball on the right side, run down by per Right.
The play is the first in time, hitting Sammy Taylor
and moving on to third, goes Charlie Neil. Now it's

(01:33:18):
two minue away and Mantilla coming up. Warm up action
in the Dodger bullpen for the first time to night.
Ron Paranowski, a left tender ed roebucker right hand are
both giving the sign to get ready. Now here's the
slugging star of the game, Pelix Mantilla. Pelix hit a

(01:33:40):
three run homer in the first and he singled a
center field in the third. So Phelix has two for
two and three. RBIs ball one a little bit high
and he takes it. Mantilla hitting it two seventy six

(01:34:02):
at Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia. They're going into the
seventh penning now with the Phillies leading the Giants by
a score of three to one. Outside in load of
Mantilla two balls in those strips on two occasions this year.

(01:34:22):
Mantilla can really get hot for you. It's had five
hits in a row swing animals. Mantilla's last time up

(01:34:45):
prior to tonight's ball game, it was against the Cardinals
and he had a triple. So he's had a triple,
a home running a single in his last three times up.
Here's the wine that fits by dry deal outside in
Lowest's ball three three and one. Chris cannezero is coming

(01:35:13):
in from the bullpen of the dugout, he may have
to go behind the plate. Sammy Taylor was hit on
the ring figure of his right hand when he got
his hand in front of the ball. And he's has
to throw out a runner, a high pop flat, a
shallow left field. Marie Will scooting in the shallow left
says I'll take it, and he makes the catch to

(01:35:33):
side his eye. But the Mets tie the game up,
and there half of the fifth unning, one run on
two hits, no errors, one left eye, and now five
innings complete. Dodgers four runs, seven hits, one air, the
New York Mets four runs, five hits and one air. Well, say, lindsay,
here's a rang, goold reddle. That's pretty tough. You know what?

(01:35:56):
Manager one penance with three different clubs. Yes, they're on
a like this. I do, indeed, Robert, because he is
sitting right down there in section number twenty seven right now,
Bill mccagney, who won him with the Cards, the Pirates
and the Reds. Yes, sir, there's a fellow that goes
on to Cooper's town to be inducted in Baseball's Hall
of Fame. Well, how about this one who managed the

(01:36:16):
Yankees between Miller Huggins and Joe McCarthy. Well, of course,
that's an easy one, Bob Shawkey, Well, if you plunk
this one, we're all out of work. You know what
makes Ryan Gold extra dry tastes so good? That's that's
sure an easy one, all right, Roberts. In fact, the
answers right there on the label. You can read it
extra drive. Those two little words tell you that Ryan

(01:36:37):
Gold is beer as beer should taste. It's frisk, it's bright,
it's clean, clear through and dry tells you that Ryan
Gold is brewed the long, slow, costly away. It's brewed
extra dry to be extra refreshing, just right to enjoy
well along with every baseball game, Chris Canezaro, we'll take

(01:37:00):
over behind the plate, replacing Sammy Taylor. Sammy's on his
way to the clubhouse to undergo some repairs. I'll tell
you catching in baseball it's not the easiest job in
the world. So while we get sett now to go

(01:37:21):
along to the sixth th thing, let's pause for a
station identification than is in readiness for the big day tomorrow.
The weather man is going to cooperate beautifully. Where you're

(01:37:42):
at a convenience because we realize so many of you
will want to come in early tomorrow. The gates will
be open at nine thirty and the bleacher and ger
admission seats will be on sale. Hope you're planning to
be here, good seats are still available. Now. Here's Tommy
Davis up against Al Jackson in the top of the sixth.

(01:38:04):
The flyball the center field fairly deep, ambling back as
Joe Christopher he draws a beat on it makes the
catch one down on a way, nobody out in the
sixth thing that will bring up rightfielder Frank Howard. The
Pittsburgh Pirates made Houston three to nothing at the end
of five behind the pitching of Bob Frinch and almost

(01:38:26):
unnotice Danny Murtas. Pittsburgh Pirates have been gaining on everybody.
While the attention has been focused sharply on the Dodgers
and Giants, the champions of two years ago. The Pittsburgh Pirates,
with burn Law and Joe Gibbon back and form and
Bob Skinner really hitting, have been making huge strides. That's
a strike on a foul tip. Right now, the Pirates

(01:38:48):
are third in the National League race. They're only four
and a half games out. We were talking to one
of the Pirates cost just a couple of days ago,
and he says that the Pirates to a man, feel
that they are going to won the pennant this year. Now,
Jackson winding the pitch to Howard, bouncing ball hits to
the left of Nell yoshit cone a facit going into

(01:39:10):
left center field. So the fans of the National League
of the New York metsiner, you will have a chance
to make their own comparisons, because the Pirates will be
in here for a double header next Wednesday afternoon and
a double header a twilight night up there on Thursday.
Four big games with the Bucks Wednesday and Thursday, two

(01:39:33):
double headers. How the hitter is Ron Fairley Town comes
to pitch outside and low fairly has really been tough
for the New York Mets. He's been tougher to get
out than trying to get mosquitoes out of your back porch.

(01:39:54):
He's sitting about five hundred against the Mets this year.
Ryan has singled a ride and drawn a watch breaking
ball over for the first back cannisera not in time.
Chris has a good arm and he really whipped the
one down to Marv Croanburry as they tried to get

(01:40:14):
Big Frank Howard. This is a good one. All tied
at four to four. Jackson makes the set. Now the
pitch to fairly a fly ball the right center. It's
deep back, goes Christopher back to the warning path. He's under.

(01:40:36):
It takes the catching deep right center. That ball hit
well over four hundred feet to the warning path and
distant right center where it was taken by Joe Christopher.
Two outs now, with Howard on first, the hitter will
be Johnny Roseborough. Roseborow had one hit and that was

(01:40:57):
a long one in the game last night. He was
denied to hit on a hard hit drives, but his
last time up he trimbled with a long drive up
the alley and left center field, left hand batter up
toward the front of the batter's box that pits to
him in the dirt. Good scoop by Chris Cannazero on
an off speed breaking ball thrown by Al Jackson. The

(01:41:23):
Dodgers on a big edge over the Mets this year,
but some of these ball games have been great. Ones
have a pitched by Jackson and he pops the ball
up near the plate. He could have hit that one
in a silo. Chris Cannazero is under it and he
takes up to the outside and retire bow pop up

(01:41:44):
taken by Canna zero no runs one hit no er
of one left and now at the end of half
of school, by man, it's got the flavor to spare,
frisk and bright and clean, clear, through and dry. Tells
you why groomed if the choice ingredients the long slow way,
no wonder. It's the most popular beer in town. The

(01:42:07):
Ta Rhinos right because it's brewed just right brood, long
and slow for flavor, clean and extra dry. That Rhyngo
extra dry, Now that's a beer too, by it's extra dry.
That's why Rhano beer tonight, Maddy good advice, My friends

(01:42:34):
have a Wrango extra dry tonight. Now. Marv Roanberry will
be up against Don Drysdale in the last half of
the sixt Sunday Marv over two will be followed by
Joe Christopher and then Ilios should go big down into

(01:43:02):
his land at pitches to marb fastball inside across the letters.
One ball in those strikers. Here's the one oh delivery
lazing fastball inside ball to two and zero, Rysdale has
walked through. He struck out five, Don banking up and

(01:43:34):
the pitcher to marb He goes after the foul pop up.
This will be out of play beyond the reach of
Johnny Roseboro back into the crowd. The big story and
the big concern with the Dodgers who are fighting for
the National Lake Pennett is Sandy Kopax. Sandy, who has
emerged as a truly great one, had the leave of

(01:43:56):
last night's ball game due to a numbness in the
index finger of his pitch again and also in his thumb.
Fouled back no play at it's two and two on
Marvin Throngberry go Banks has been absolutely brilliant and without him,
Dodgers could encounter all kinds of problems in trying to

(01:44:16):
win a pennant. Now the two two pits fouled again
out of play. However, since he suffered the bruise that
caused the numbness, and he's pitching again. Sandy has started
four ball games and all four have been victories, and

(01:44:38):
he's pitched extremely well. But he's had to go almost
entirely with his fastball. But he has to kind of
basketball that a fella can go with. As they say,
Walter Johnson drew a basketball for twenty years now. The
two two pits dragged to left senter field, hit up
a hose by mar pro Face. Hid over quickly is

(01:45:00):
Willie Davis. He'll hold Cronberry to a single hard hit
liner in the left center, a clean hit for Throanberry.
Willie Davis, with a great speed out in center field,
gets over into those alleys and left center and right
center in a real hurry, and he gets balls and
holes runners to singles and what normally would have a

(01:45:21):
real good chance to go for a two base hit.
Joe Christopher has been up twice, bopped the second and
grounded out short to first team tied four four. We're
in the last half of the sixth sunning. How Don

(01:45:47):
Drysdale looking into Roseboro to get his signed Croanberry with
a short lead at first in comes the pitch. They
look for the bun, but he takes all away and
it's over a calls drive. Sammy Taylor suffered a laceration
on the ring finger of his throwing hand. Printer Gus
Miss came out and taped the finger, and Sammy, who

(01:46:09):
has a line of grit. Stayed with it for a while,
but it had been deemed advisable that he checked out
of the lineup, that x rays might be taken to
take no chances. Now throw the first in the dirt,
but Ron Fairley dicked it out. He almost threw that
one away. Now Christopher getting his sign from Sally Hemos.

(01:46:36):
Los Angeles four runs on eight hits in one air.
New York four runs, six hits and one air. Grysdale said,
down Hensey's pitch. Bunnett back toward the mountain. Drysdale rams it,
throws the second first play on Thrownberry. As Drysdale came
off to mind to get the bun he slipped, went

(01:46:57):
down to one knee, but then just kind of spun
her while on one knee and fired back the second
on a good throw to Forest Marvin Thrownberry. Christopher on
first on the attempted sacrifice in fielder's choice and the
hit her. Now is Elo shokon. Ilio has ground that

(01:47:20):
I third the first in skied to right. He sent
Usen two times up a Drysdale working off the stretch,

(01:47:50):
delivers to Ilio. He swings to bad flass. I'll have
for the first he picked him off, rows far around fairly,
and Christopher is picked off. They might have had a
hit and run and play going that time, although Christopher
was not too far off first base. Ilios just about

(01:48:11):
three is bat at the ball, indicating that the hit
and run might have been on and rose Burrow whipped
a strong throat to Ron Fairley, and Christopher, trying to
dive back in, is picked off. Strike to Elio Chicon,
and now Drysdale has him two strikes, one ball, two

(01:48:41):
strikes on Elio Chicone. The game tied four to four.
The Mets took the early lead on a three run
homer by Felix man t Off Drysdale in the opening inning.
The Dodgers got one run back in the second, Roseburrow's
ground ball driving in the run. Willie Davis knocked in
the second run, and the third scored on an error

(01:49:02):
chance to Chicone to tie it up. Here's the pitch
on the way, powle ball off the plate, no play.
Mary Wills gave the Dodgers a lead in the fifth
putting when he hit a home run to the opposite field,
but the Mets bounced right back to tie up the
ball game on basits by Ashburn and Neil and a
sacrifice fly by Gene Woodley pitching one and two swing

(01:49:26):
and a messy strug him out. Elio Chakhon fanned number
six in the game for Don Drysdale. In six innings,
no runs, one hit, no errors, none left on and
now six innings complete the score. The Dodgers four and
the Mets four now all set to step in behind

(01:49:47):

Taking a look at the scoreboard now and the lone
afternoon action, the Chicago Cup defeated the Cincinnati Red one,
and I think Kyle conch pitching a one hitter, Perky

(01:50:55):
taking the lot. The end of seven innings of play
in Philadelphia, it is the Phillies three. In the San
Francisco Giants, won Odell against Bennett Chuck Hiller holding the
fifth with nobody on for the Giants. The end of
six innings of play, the Pittsburgh and Pirates three, the
Houston Gold forty five nothing, Dick Barrell against Bob Frin
the end up two innings of play with the Saint
Louis Cardinals nothing, Milwaukee Braves nothing, Bob Gibson against Warren Spawn.

(01:51:20):
That's the way the action is going elsewhere in the
National League. Right here, Larry Burwright steps into the batter's box,
right hand batter, left hander Al Jackson dips into the
wind up and here's the pitch. It is swung on
and miss for strike one. Scry tied four to four.

(01:51:48):
Second game of the series between the Dodgers and the Metcheers.
Is swinging a file ball off to the right side.
It's a two strike count to Larry Burwright. Al Jackson
is the leading strikeout artist on the pitching staff of

(01:52:09):
the New York Mets. He came into the Nights Ball
Game with seventy strikeouts to his credit as a pitch
missing little hide is one ball and two strikes to
Burrow right. The gates will be open here at the
Polo Grounds tomorrow morning at nine thirty am. Here's the

(01:52:31):
one two pitch swung on as a ground ball, taking
a third by Mantia. Throws on the first in time
and got him. Nice play by Felix Mantilla moving to
his left to glovet and then threw on the run.
Ras one man out and pitcher gone. Drysdale is coming up.

(01:52:52):
He has been a twice without it, oh rangy right
hand batter. Drysdale his pitcher in the Major League with
fifteen victories to his credit, the only National League pitcher
ever to take fifteen victories into the All Star Game
at Midsummer the season at Disney, Dean won thirty games

(01:53:15):
he took fourteen into the All Star Games. And if
it's the Drysdale Quagan at the fly ball high the
center field, Joe Christopher moves underneath. He makes the catch
for the hout. Two way, nobody on and that will
bring up Twitch hitting leadoff man Murray Will. Tonight Will

(01:53:36):
grounded out third the first single and homered into the
right field fans. Murray Wills likes the friendly confines of
the Polo ground. Starting this season, he had only hit
one home run in his entire Major league career. He

(01:53:57):
hit three this season, all three of them coming. You're
at the Polo ground, two men out of nobody on
base at Jackson is into the wind up and the
pitcher the curveball in there for calls strike one. Sammy

(01:54:21):
Taylor as retired from action with an lacerated ring finger
on his throwing hand, the fingers giving him a lot
of trouble during his career. There's a pitch tight, a
fastball right across the top of the letters. It's one
and one rocked him back. Jackson's pitch swung on and

(01:54:49):
lined the fall ball, missing by inches, and Leo d Rocha,
the coach at third base, it's coming out now the
question Tom Gormer and the umpire who made the call
of all In a couple of feet in front of
Gorman is the bow ball Mary Wells pulled up at
second base and it's being called back by Jack o'conlin,
the umpire behind the plate line, right down the left

(01:55:18):
field line and miss by the barrass fraction Leod. The
roasier's still standing in that, pointing with his should of
the line and saying something to Tom Gorman. Marie Wills
is talking to umbari Jock O'Connell at the plate. The

(01:55:38):
roacher is still out there along the left field line,
walking now reluctantly back towards the coacher's box at third.
Marrie Will steps back into the battles box, now choked
up a little bit on the bad he has. He
got a one ball and two strikes, and here's the
pitch that'sing blowing away. It is two and two, score tied.

(01:56:04):
Here the Diet four in the Mets four in the
top half of the seventh inning, including game of the series,
will be played tomorrow afternoon. There's a pitch low, so
the count is full to Maury Wills at three and
two Jackson takes a moment now to a just Legabies uniform.

(01:56:35):
There now he has set end of the lineup and
the playoff fit swung out and followed off. The count
holds at three and two. The New York Mets got
off to a big start in this ball game in
the bottom half of the first inning when Felix Mantilla
hit a three run homer lets The I just came

(01:56:59):
back to at one in the second and two in
the third and tired three to three. Mary will jump
the Diches ahead, and the pours and the Mets tided

he tows the free tenth time and he's house. Nice
fielding played vice cha Cohen having to his left frying
on in time to get Murray will go. In the

(01:57:22):
top of the seventh the Dodger's rout with no runs,
no hips, nors, and nobody left down at the end
our sixth and one happening is a player. The score
is the a lot of angele is IDEs four in
the New York Mets. For well here it is the
uh seventh inning, and you know what that calls for?
Uf Danner I certainly do the good old seventh inn stretch.

(01:57:46):

All right, raph kinda. We go to the bottom half
of the seventh inning and the New York Mets the
schedule to send up pitcher Al Jackson. He walks out

(01:58:45):
of the dugouts stopped along the on deck CIRCULARI to
get a bat from Ritchie ash Sprinting continues down up
to the plate. Jackson has about twice he double Land
struck out trying to buntes sery strike trying to utilize

(01:59:07):
his speed, and he has an abundance of it. It's
the four fourth time the Mets battling the league leading
Dodgers at the fastball in there fo called strike and
in Philadelphia they're going to the eighth inning with the

(01:59:28):
Phillies leading the Giants by a score of three to one.
Drysdale's pitch he swung on a miss for strike too big.
Don Drysdale using a sidearm delivery, blazing fastball his best pitch.

(01:59:57):
He has the sign into the wind up and if
it's swung on and miss strike three, that is strike
out number seven or Don Drysdale. In the night's game,
one away, nobody on and Richie Ashburn is coming up
with the Mets. He walked, was on base when Mantia
hit his three run home in the first inning. The

(02:00:18):
second inning, he grounded out the first base barely played
it over the Drysdale's covering and Ashburn single and scored.
In the bottom half of the fifth inning, scored on
the talk of five fly by June Willing the center
field Drysdale switched to the left hand batteries swung on
and followed off the strike one again Drysdale. It's set

(02:00:59):
to work, and the pitch is low football. It's one
and one. The gates will open here at nine thirty
tomorrow morning. The old timers activity will start at one
thirty tomorrow afternoon, and the game between the Dodgers and
the Mets will be at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. That

(02:01:22):
pitch is high football. It's two and one. Charlie Neil
kneeling in the on deck circle. Now for the New
York Mets. Again, Drysdale lifts into the line up. The

(02:01:44):
pitch swung on and lined on the left field line,
curving fowl and out of cloves off the law revited
onto the playing field, and Tommy Davis runs it down
a patented Richie Ashburn type, hitting down the left field line,
but this one curved fowl and it's two and two.

(02:02:09):
The man who twice won the batting championship of the
National League in nineteen fifty five and again in nineteen
fifty eight, Jack o'connlan, now comes around to say something
to Ashburn comes around in front of catcher John Roseborough. Now, Conlin,

(02:02:33):
are you as some disposition behind the plate and the
two two bits swung online, foul off on the ground
back a third count holds it two and two to
Richie Ashburn. He's back in there now waiting as Gysdell

(02:03:04):
leans way over to get the sign, dips into the
wind up and the pitch swung on and it is
a file ball back a third giving it a run.
There's sim Gilliam and he's over there to make the
catch for the out. So Ashburn has fouled out the
Gillium behind the back of third, two way and nobody
on and Charlie Neil's coming up. Neil struck out, grind

(02:03:26):
it out, pitched the first and single. It's the Dodgers
bour and the Mets four. The Dodgers started the night
one half game ahead of the second place San Francisco Giants.

(02:03:54):
There's a pitch for us ground ball to third. Gillium
takes it deep, now up and throws on the first
in time for the so in the bottom half of
the seven right as they all got the Mets out
in order with no runs on, no hits, nors, and
nobody left them. At the end of seven complete innings
of player the score is the Los Angeles Didges for
the New York Mets. For now, we have the official

(02:04:21):
paid attendance figures for tonight official paid twenty three, nine
hundred and ten service and press six thirty five total

the New York Mets are over the half million marking attendance,
and the Met management wish used to thank the fans
of New York and Vicinity for their support during the
first half of this season or turning out to see
National League Baseball back in the city of New York.
Right now, in order to allow our stations to identify themselves,

(02:05:08):
we pause for station identification Ralph Conner and Bob Murphy
at the Polo Grounds. As we move to the top
half of the eighth inning of the all game time

(02:05:29):
four four, it'll be Jim Gilliam, Willie Davis, and Tommy
Davis coming up for the Los Angeles Adders. If you'd
like to mark your baseball calendar with the dates of
events coming up tomorrow, of course, at Old Timer's Day.
August fourth is Rhyangold Day. The sixth finalists for Miss

(02:06:13):
Right now, the pitch to Jim Gilliam is in there
for calls strike one. Gilliam double single and grinded out short.
The first left hander, Al Jackson at the sign, dips

(02:06:35):
into the wine death kicks and fires, and here's the
ground ball. The shortstop taken by Ilio Shakhan. He plays
over the Srongbury in time and he's out. Gilliam is
grinded out short, the first won away, and Willie Davis
is coming up. Davis struck out, trip pulled the driving around,

(02:06:57):
Lady scored Himselven grinded out the first base. Davis, a tall,
rangy left hand batter waiting for Jackson's pitch and he
takes it in there fastball for a call to strike one.

(02:07:21):
The Dodges four and the Mets four battling here in
the top half of the eighth inning. Again the pitch
let up pitch that has swung out and pull fouled
on the first baseline on the ground, it's a two
strike County Davis. The National League. This afternoon, the Cups

(02:07:46):
defeated the Cincinnati Reds one to nothing. Al Coinch pitched
a one hitter. Going to the bottom half of the
eighth inning in Philadelphia, it's the Phillies three, in the
Giants one. Going to the eighth inning. In Houston, it
is Pittsburgh three and the code forty five is nothing.
Going to the bottom of the third. In Milwaukee, it's
the Cardinals. Two of the brave is nothing, which is
low and away to Willie Davis gets away and comes

(02:08:08):
all the way back. It's one and two to him.
Now there is action in the bullpen for the Los
Angeles Dodgers. Joe Moler, a tall right handers out there
throwing nineteen year old Joe Moler. In the American League,
all the action is night action. The Yankees at Los
Angeles against the Angels. In the latest start the Red
Sox at Kansas City, and the latest starting mom Bauquet

(02:08:30):
against Walker. The end of six and a half, it
is Baltimore five, Cleveland three. It is a swing in
a fileball Detroit at Chicago, delayed because of rain had
not yet begun, and at the end of three innings
a play the Minnesota Twins one. The Washington Centate do's nothing.
Chaney against Pasqual. That's how the action is going elsewhere.

(02:08:56):
Right here, it's a four point tie with a kunt
of one ball and two strikes. Willie Davis at the plate.
Al Jackson with a line up in the pitch, slow curveball,
cut out and pull ball on the first base line.
Count holes at one and two. Knowing from the scoreboard

(02:09:29):
that the Giants are trailing in the game at Philadelphia,
Dodges especially, who would like to pull this one out.
They're just swinging a gumble on the first base line.
Feel it deep by Thrownberry, fair ball, he plays the Jackson,
He's out. Jackson flips the ball right back to Thornberry
because though you're pulling off a basketball play, but he
is out at first base. The ball went over the bag,

(02:09:51):
was fielded deep by Thornberry and then he had to
play it under hand of Jackson covering. He took it
at the bag, the call with Art and he gave
it right back to Thronberry coming and to bag him
up to away. Nobody on and Tommy Davis coming up
grounded out was on on Chicuan Jerro and flied to
center field. Twenty three year old right hand Battery takes

(02:10:20):
a pitch high, pops out of the big glove of
Chris count zero and comes on back. Tommy Davis has
one hundred and twenty seven base hits. He leads the

(02:10:41):
major leagues in that department. All of last season he
only had one hundred and twenty eight. That's a fastball
getting in there. It's one and one. Jackson before coming

(02:11:20):
up on the rubber, dropped the ball out of his glove,
walks over to pick it up. Now now the one
one pitched to David Low and inside it is two
balls and one strike. Two home runs in the ball

(02:11:46):
game tonight, three run homer by Felix Mant of the
Mets in the first inning, homer with nobody on by
Murray Will's and the Dodgers in the fifth pitches in
the dirt and they're on his short hop. It's three
and one out of Tommy David. Miank Howard kneeling in
the ondeck circle for the Dodgers. Joe Mueller continues to

(02:12:18):
throw on the boat and here's the pitch, swung on
a popped up and files there at the account is there.
I got a late start and can get there off
to the right off the plate, so it is simply
a fallball three and two of the couch there Tommy David.
Now Jackson gave it up big effort. He came down

(02:12:39):
off that mound and gave it the big Runny, it's
just not coming back. Jackson lost his cap on the way,
taking his time going back to the moun Bog. Paul

(02:13:04):
is at the home run for the Volivo Orioles and
the seventh inning with one man on. So the Orioles
are leading the Cleveland Indians at least by a score
of seven to three and still batting in the bottom
had of the seventh innings. Right here the score is
tied four four, and here comes a payoff pitch to

(02:13:25):
Tommy Davis, swung on in line in the right field
for a base fence taken by Richie Ashburn relays it
then David told it first, or Tommy Davis. That is
base hitting number one hundred and twenty eight this season.
It keeps his consecutive game hitting streak alive at fifteen
consecutive games. That ties Ron Fairley's fifteen game hitting streak

(02:13:47):
as the longest for the Dodgers this season. All of
last season, Tommy Davis got only one hundred and twenty
eight basins. That is his one hundred and twenty eighth
of this season, and he leaves the Major leagues. That
department time has been called. As Chris Cannazero goes out
to check with Al Jackson halfway to the mound with

(02:14:07):
Big Frank Howard swinging a beat. He's two for three
tonight and the other time he lined out second base.
Always have to go once again, Frank Howard six feet

(02:14:31):
seven inches tall, swinging a bet. Jackson checks and deals
her balls going out and miss go to first. He's
back safely. Canazaro with a good arms to show it
off and he's fired down the first to strike one.

(02:15:00):
Agan Jackson is in the sub position and the pitch
swung on as a ground ball to short stout taking
by Chaconi place at Charley Neil for the force tomy.
Davis goes sliding in, but he is out at second
undersided retires. So in the top half of the eighth innings,
the Dodger's got no runs on one hit, no evers in,
one left energy under seven and a half innings to

(02:15:21):
play at the Polo Grounds. The story is the New
York Mets four and the Los Angeles Dodgers four. You
know what separates the men from the boys, and pro
ball consistency and the lights yesterday after day. You can
count on a real big leaguer to make the play
that's right. And among filter cigarettes, there's one brand you

(02:15:43):
can count on to give you the taste that's right
every time, Viceroy, Because Vice Roy tastes the way you'd
like a filter cigarette to taste. Not too strong like
some filter cigarettes that taste as if they didn't have
a filter at all, not too light like the Weeks.
This is a good through all the fun and flavor
out of smoking, Viceroy has got the taste that's right.

(02:16:05):
That's why I'd like you to put it to the
toughest test of all smoke, all seven leading filter cigarettes.
And I'll bet dollars to donuts you'll find some taste
too strong, some taste too light. But Viceroy has got
the taste. That's right. That's right, my friend. Every time
you smoke a Viceroy, you'll know you pick the winner.

(02:16:29):
Viceroy comes in the familiar softback or the exclusive new
slide top case. As we go to the bottom up
of the eighth inning, the New York Mets will send
up Gene Woodland, Chris Canizaro and Felix Mantilla, and Bill
Hunter is throwing in the bullpen for the New York Mets.
Left see Bill Hunter is throwing in the bullpen for

(02:16:51):
the Mets. Woodling, of course, the left hand battery of
that pastened stance of his bending over the plate Dryasdale
pitched it inside. It's ball one. Woodling struck out walk

(02:17:20):
and had a sacrifice fly. Officially, he's nothing for one
the right hander, and I was the fitch swung on
fol back onto the screen one in one. So action
continues in both bullpens. Joe Mola throwing for Los Angeles,
a right hander left, Bill Hunter throwing for the New

(02:17:42):
York Mets. Guysdale is set for the one one fitch
swung on foul back on top of the rough bod
of play and at one and two to Jean Woodling.
Manager Casey's single got five left hand batters in the
lineup tonight against the right hander Don Drysdale, Dryandale the

(02:18:11):
night looking for the sixteenth victory of the season. Hit
one two pitch going on and as the drive to
right field, and it is one hop to the wall
and the thing chased around my Howard. Whitman is on
his way. The second Howard does not have it yet.
Whitman is down his way. The third. The day is
coming in. He stands up at third with a tripole

(02:18:41):
in Withney with a triple A. Was a line shot
hit in the warning track, took one hop to the wall,
and Frank Howard was a little close to the wall,
so it eluded him coming off the wall. And now
a Educasey's signal has come out. He's calling Pitt Cannazero
back from the plate. He wants to have a word

(02:19:04):
with Cantazarro, the old professor number thirty seven talking to Cantazarro.
Now in a position on the field between the ondeck
circle and home plate. There's a conference at the Dodger
Mondale Roadborough fairly Jim. The New York Messive Guards, having

(02:19:26):
already lost Stanley Taylor for the night, do not have
another catcher on the croat other than Canazaro, with the
exception of Gill Hodges, who came to the Major leagues
as the catcher. Strangly enough, there where the story tied
four to four. The Mets have the potential go ahead
run on at third base time it Van Calin Jock

(02:19:49):
o'connlan now is walking over toward the dug island. Here
comes Jim Hickman ot to run boy Jean Woodland. It
is Hickman running for Woodling, and Woodlan gets a hand
as he leaves the vail. Here Jim Hickman, with good

(02:20:13):
speed don a third base now running Jeane Woodland, who
I sit a triple in the bottom half of the
eighth innings, Here is the right hand out of Chris
Cantadero up for his first time in the ball game.
A lost Angeles Dodgers have the n zeal in hoping
for a player to play. Now they take her right
up about three steps that second day, looking and bending

(02:20:34):
over together sign Don Drysdale. He dips into the line
up in. Here is the pitch in their front callstrike one.
Here is the fat ball Penix Mantia kneeling in the
on deck circle for the Mets, to be followed by
Marv Thrownderry nobody out here in the bottom half of
the eighth inning, the Mets wants that run. Surris tied

(02:21:00):
four to four, Ryasdale's pitch, I'm pastball in there for
a calls right two again counted the always get over
now double action on the bullpen of a Los Angeles Dodgers.
The lest ender Ron Tarnanski, the right hander ed Robots

(02:21:22):
Bill Hunter, is still working in the bullpen for the
New York Mets. Rysdale takes a look at Hickman leading
down the line at third the two strike pitch in
the fastball missing bof ball one. It's one and two.
Thosebery still has the ball talking on Barry Jack o'conlin.

(02:21:44):
Grysdale shook his head, walked around the mound, comes back
up now onto the rubber bulls at the bill of
the cap. Let's send to get a signed in fields
still in for the Los Angeles Dgers. In the count
of one ball and two strikes. The Chris count is
at the plate, into the wind up as Drysdale. The
pitch is low for ball too, that's ball and it's

(02:22:06):
too too narrow, waggling that bet ending in the bat

(02:22:32):
his boxes again. Drysdale is set and here's the pitch
gone and a ball on a line into the tent
behind the bagged perch. It's out of play and it's
too too Yeah a Los Angeles Dodgers four and the

(02:22:55):
New York Mets four. H yet Dale ready to work,
and here's the two pricks fun out of this strike three,
tucking out swinging, I out number eight for Dryaddale, run

(02:23:16):
away runner at third still and Felix Mantia coming up.
Mantia has homered single and popped out to third base.
I know the conference at the mound. Ron Fairley is
coming over again to talk to Drythdale, and John Roseboro
has come out also, and Jim Gilliam comes in. Now

(02:23:40):
I'll start to join this conference. And Jack o'conmon has
decided that he's not gonna let it be that exclusive.
He too, is going to join in. Now they break
it up. Justice Conman gets there. Maury Wills came in,

(02:24:18):
had a word with Drysdale and goes back to his
position at shortstop. Mantia steps into the battery box. A
ball got out of the bullpen the New York Mets
and rolled all the way up to the sun of
field area. So time is being held up right now
while that ball is retrieved. Right, we're ready with Mantilla

(02:24:40):
right hand back is standing in. Hickman leading down the
line of third, one man out. Grinsdale leaning way over
to get his signed from John Roseboro. Rhythmic applause starting here.
That's to follow a ground go wind up and the
pitch plung on and follow back onto the screen. But
it's like one first themes figure hall in height is

(02:25:06):
the ground ball through or the fly ball to the
outfield in order to get this run in. The score
is tied four four. For that raison, the Dodgers are
playing the outfield comparatively shallow as well in center and
in right in order to be able to make a
play at the plate. Here's the pitch. Here's the cough

(02:25:29):
stake too great Expantaia, Don Drysdale trying to pitch himself
out of trouble. Geane Whittling opened up this bottom half
of the eighth inning with a triple. Don drys Elegant

(02:25:51):
is looking in for the sign as it. Here's the
line up and the pitch. It's tight, it's funny. So
it is one and two. Man bea swinging the bats

(02:26:19):
in the batty boxes. Drzdale is cut to work. That
fits missus low and away the ball too. It's two
and two. It's all over in Philadelphia. The Phillies defeated

(02:26:39):
the Giant by a score of three to two. Right here,
the story is tied four four the Dodgers and the
met is Isel is taking a long time to get
the side four. The two two fitch, it's on the
way going on and popped up foul to the right side,
out of play, right up on top of our boots,

(02:27:04):
rebinding onto the playing field. So it's a two two
count still Felix Mantia, Marv throwingberry swinging bats in the
ondeck circle. Jim Hickman leads down the line at third

(02:27:31):
enfield pull away and now with a two to two
count on Mantia, Gilliam and Wills are actually on the
edge of the grass against the right hand hitter, and
Mantilla steps back out of the batter's box on the
right side of the enfield Fairley and Burata even with

(02:27:51):
the baseline, here's a wind up in the two two pitch.
It's tight. Funny him back and rolled a few feet
away from Roseboro, so it is a full count at
Mantilla moved back on the way of the tight pitch.

(02:28:13):
Roseburgh couldn't hang on to it either and popped out
of his big glove roll a couple of feet up
the third base line. No advance on the plate, so
it's a full count. Now the Felix, Mantilla, Drysdale pop
the ball in the glove, chudge at the bill of

(02:28:34):
the count looks in to get the sign, dips into
the wind up and here's the three two bitch, swung
on its n but down the third base line. He
feels it, makes the play at the plate and he
is out at the plate. He is out at the plate.
Grisdale feeling them all bare handed and tossed it to Roseboro,
who makes the play on Hickman and he is out
at the plate and Tia on at first base on

(02:28:57):
the field of choice. Two men out, runner at first.
Now that player went one to two. If you're scoring it.
It was a little number down the third baseline, and
Hickman was running on the plate. Drysdale came down off
the mound, fielded them all with his bare hand and
flipped it on to catch a Roseburg. And Hickman was

(02:29:21):
an easy victim at the plate. And Hea becomes the
base runner at first, of course, and Marv Thronberry is
at the plate, and now Rosebergh wants a couple of
practice cosses. Apparently he is okay, looking at his right hand,
going to see if he could throw all right. Apparently

(02:29:43):
he got a little bruise there in the play of
the plate. Well for the match here in the top
in the bottom half of the eighth inning, it is
up to Marav Thrownberry up here with two men out
and the runner at first base, and the score tied
four four swing gonna miss by Thrownberry. In Philadelphia, the

(02:30:15):
Philly's got three runs on eleven hits and no errors.
The Giant's got two runs on five hits and no errors.
Dennis Bennett the winner, going all the way for the
Phils and giving the Giant only five hits. The Lee
Odell was the loser leaved by Don Larson in the
eighth innings. It's a lob throw over the first space
man Tia gets back safely again. Drysdale comes set hits

(02:30:46):
the Thrownberry swung on and foul back into the upper
deck behind the plate. It's a two strike count too.
Mark Joe Christopher kneeling in the ondeck circle. Now for
the New York Myths is deal again. It's in the

(02:31:17):
pitching position. Mant He alleges at first pitch is high
away football one and two out of Thrawnberry. Pitching coach
Joe Becker of the lost time the Dodgers had waved
out of the bullpen, no telling ron Keranowski to sit down.
Roebuck continues to throw, but Taranowski has stopped. He's the

(02:31:39):
one two pitch to Thrawnberry tight rocks him back and
it's two two. It's the Dodgers four and the Mets four.
In the bottom half of the eighth inning, Dodgers have
their four runs on nine hits. The Mets have their
four runs on seven hits. There has been one era
by each team, and de aleedes at first Drysdale it's

(02:32:03):
sex the pitch hung on and his strike three struck
him out and at his star out number nine for Drysdale.
And at the bottom half of the eighth the Mets
got no runs on one hit, the triple by Woodland,
no error than one man left, and so at the
end of eight and he's completed. The Polo Grounds in

(02:32:24):

the pitcher bastball low for ball one last time, I've
barely had a fly ball deep to right center field,

press total attendants in the ballpark twenty four, five hundred
and forty five that pitches low foot ball two and one.

(02:34:43):
And the New York Mets have gone over the half
million mark in home attendance here tonight, and that has
been one of the big stories of the baseball season,
the Major League Baseball season, the support given the New
York Mets here in the city of New York as
the National League. It's come back here. He's the fastball
in there for a call strike, it's too to the ron.

(02:35:05):
Fairly Jackson has walked only one man tonight, and it
was Ron Fairly. There's a swing and a drive. He's

(02:35:27):
a right, it's up there and it is on top
for a home run, so fairly it comes on around
as he has put seed. I just got in front
by a four and five before for him. That is

(02:35:51):
his East home run of this season. I mean with
nobody out on the top of the night. Thanks, and
that brings up John Rothbard, who is nothing for three
in the ball game tonight. Left hand batter has a
pitch blowing away for ball one. That ball but fairly

(02:36:20):
hit up on top of the roof over the upper
deck on out of the ballpark. Right field has a
pitch low Rosebar. It's two and oh. Jackson picked the
moment rubbing up the ball. Two and oh pitch is

(02:36:45):
in there for a called strike two and one. That's
when it's low and the dirty block byke count as Arrow.

(02:37:06):
It's out to three and one now to John Roseborough. Jackson,
taking his time getting a sign, wins and fires a

out in the left field. Jim Hickman coming in past
and makes the catch. Putty out. Jim Hickman, who's stating
the ball game and plays fifteen woodling and left field
came on to make the catch right now. In order
to allow our stations to DON'TI file themselves, we pause
for station and identification K ten on your dial. This

(02:38:21):
is w G Y Schenectady, Lindsey Nelson with Bob Murphy
and Ralph Kenner at the Polo Grounds in New York,
where the Dodgers now lead the Mets by a score
of five to four. In the top half of the
ninth inning, one man out, nobody on and second baseman
Larry Burr right our right hand batteries at the place.
He is nothing for three tonight itches outside for ball.

(02:38:50):
Burr had started the night with the batting average of
two hundred and twenty three. There's a swinging of po
ball backing out of play, double bare election in the

(02:39:15):
med bullpen. Left handed Ken McKenzie now and right hander
Ray Davy oh Jackson looking in for a sign the
one one pitch to bur right low for ball two.
It's two and one. While earlier in the season most

(02:39:38):
backers of the Dodgers felt that they would have to
go with bur Ride at second and Jim Gilliam at
third in order to go all the way, some of
them have changed their minds. Here's to pitch low and
away for ball three at three and one. There are
Dodger backers now who feel that in order to go
all the way, perhaps that I will have to go

(02:39:59):
with Gilliam and Darryl Spencer at third base. Here's a
three one fitch swung on and lyned on a short hop,
Commandsia and he makes the play across the first in time.
Nice slave by Mantia third took the ladder on a
short hop and made the throw across in time two way,

(02:40:19):
and Don Viazale comes out of the dug out and
gets the hand. Here likely he gets a mixed refection.
He gets a little bit of both. That he comes
up to the plate with two men out of nobody on.

(02:40:41):
You're in the top half of the ninth inning, to
faith Al Jackson, if you'd like to look ahead to
the bottom of the night in New York Metrs schedule
that turned up Joe Christopher Elioshakon and Al Jackson Jackson
in the wind up, and the pitch swung on as

(02:41:02):
the ground ball to man to a fields it cleanly.
It throws across the thornberry in time, and the side
is retired. And see I'm making some nice feelings, played
the Surgeon night, and on the top of the ninth
that I just got one run on one hit the
home of my fairly nowhere as nobody left in the
end of eight, and a happening to play the score
is a Los Angeles out you five and the New
York met four now coming right up. A short performance

(02:41:28):
by a famous trio See Frango, Extra Crime, Extra Talented
Players who glove will find a way.

Speaker 5 (02:41:36):
Boots you come home, Field fo you come home as
cook and stuff the friends.

Speaker 1 (02:41:49):

You're off, come home. Se if you can buy my
favorite sea.

Speaker 7 (02:42:17):
To my rango name my Donald Rangotra up.

Speaker 1 (02:42:34):
Going now to the bottom night of the ninth inning,
the New York mestill suned up Joe Christopher. Defensive changes
have been made by manager Wald Ross of the Dodgers.
Tim Harkness is not playing first base. Tim Harkness is
playing first base for the Dodgers. Ron Fairley has gone
to right field, and Frank Howard is out of the
ball game. That is a change frequently made in late

(02:42:54):
innings by the Dodgers when they are leading fairly. The
right field Harkness the first base. Howard out of the
ball game. Don Drysdale along the mound trying to protect
the one run lead, and the New York Mets dding
in the bottom half of the ninth inning, both send

(02:43:15):
up Christopher. Hircone is kneeling right now in the ondeck circle.

(02:43:37):
Girl Christopher is nothing for three to night Guysdell wines
and fires the sidearm pitch missus low and away for
ball one. The Mets would like to get a base
runner somehow, anyway at all, if they play about only
one run. You're in the bottom half of the ninth inning.
They have battled the league leaders all the way. Calls

(02:44:00):
strikes Christopher fat ball in there. It's one one. We've
had two home runs in the ball game tonight, one
by Felix Manteo of the Messa three run homer coming
in the first inning, and one with nobody on by
Murray Wills the Dodgers in the fifth inning, one by Fairley.
Here's a grand ball in second base taken by by Ride.

(02:44:22):
He plays over the first ten times. The one by
Ron Fairley. Of course, the homer coming in the top
half of the ninth inning put the Dodgers out in
front five four. So the Dodgers have had two homers
in the mess have had one. And now Elioshakon is
being called back to the dugout with one away and
nobody off, and Frank Thomas is being cut up to

(02:44:43):
the place. Frank Thomas is being cut up to bed
against Don Drddale, adding for Elioshakhon as managed. Katy's single
now has to go four distance, trailing by one run
at the bottom half of the ninth inning.

Speaker 6 (02:45:01):
I know what part.

Speaker 1 (02:45:10):
The first time up in the ball game for a Thomas.
I mean, how there's a pin ship here on the
bottom half of the ninth inning. He's still swinging backs
as we've had a conference at the mound while we
have this short break in the action. Why don't you
check your glass to make sure you've got plenty of

(02:45:31):
ryango on him. Thomas comes down around stepped into the
battery's box. Already the night in philadelph because the Phillies
have defeated the Giants by a score of three to two.

(02:45:52):
The Pirates that won their ball game, shutting out Houston
asay them's the wind up to pitch the pink Thomas
blowing away football one, and now Jill Higens has come
out to the on deck circle pitched to Thomas blowing

(02:46:15):
away for ball two. Gill Haiges has come out to
the yon deck circle the bat for Al Jackson, who
is due up neck that's spending up Thomas. Haigi's here
in the bottom half of the ninth inning bringing a
bow ball back the upper deck out of play. It's

(02:46:35):
two and one. The American League, the Bolomoreos have defeated
the Cleveland Indians ten to three. Barbara the winter and

(02:46:57):
Perry the loser guys. They are looking for a sign
into the wind up, and here's a two to one
pitch fun on and fill back out of the screen
out of play to two County Thomas if God starting
a rhythmic shut up, we want to hit as a

(02:47:25):
result of action already in in the National League the
night the Pitchburgh Pirates are only three games behind the Giants.
Now the Pirates will be coming in here next week

(02:47:48):
afternoon double Heather on Wednesday, the twin not double head
on Thursday. Here's the pitch fun on and has a
high pop down a third base line in Paul's territory.
Jim gilliam is over in the warning track and Jilly
makes the cat backed up by marray Wells just behind him,
and he gives them all over the wills and relays
it on into the nfield. Two away and nobody on,
and kill Hidge is coming up listening a hand for Hodges.

(02:48:28):
So it is kill Hodges facing his former teammates. Sure
at the Polo Ground to New York with two men
out of nobody on and the bottom half of the
ninth inning with the Dodgers leading the Mets by one
run five to four. John Drysdale leaning over, has the

(02:48:50):
sign into the long wind up and the pitch sprung
out and miss strike one. Gill Haidgi took a riff
a dead one again Drysdale is set to work drits

(02:49:11):
the pitch and I just had stepped out, So the
umpire call time. Now it's s and the pitches on
the way. It's flowing away for a ball one one.

(02:49:32):
I just waggling the best standing there in the batter's box.
I say extra time out there on the mound. Turks
at the middle of the cap and now peers in
to get the sign he added to wind up the
one one pitches coming. It's swung on an air as
a gund ball of the third taking bout Gilliam deep
the long crow across the diamond him time he's outing.
The ball came Toober I get grounded out from Jim

(02:49:54):
Gillium to sim Hart. I Don Dryersdale comes on to
get them outside in order. At the bottom of a
a night's ending with no runs, no hits, no errors,
than nobody left. We'll be back in a moment with
a final summary and tubbled. But right now, the final
score of this ball game is the Los Angeles Dodge,
just five in the New York Mets four. What is

(02:50:17):
the one thing most people associate with baseball? Well, I'll
bet that if you ask the answer you'd hear most
often is an ice cold glass of beer. And if
those people happen to be New Yorkers, well, then that
beer has just got to be Rhinego New York's favorite.
What accounts for this popularity? Two words tell you extra drive.

(02:50:38):
You see, dry beers a lighter, more naturally refreshing, They
let more flavor through to you. And Rhinegold is the
extra dry beer, extra dry to be extra refreshing. And
after all, isn't that what you want in your beer?
Sure it is, so why wait? Order up or pour
yourself a glass of refreshing Rhinegold and enjoy it along

(02:51:01):
with the game. You'll join the millions of people everywhere
who say, my beer is Ryan Gold, the dry beer.
It's beer as beer should taste. Well, you're at the
Polo Grounds. The Los Angeles Dodgers have taken a squeaker
from the New York Mets, who battle them all the
way finals score five to four in the game was

(02:51:22):
won by a home run by Ron Fairley in the
top half of the ninth inning. Ron Fairley, who has
had some great days and nights against the New York
Mets this season. The final totals or the Dodgers five
runs on ten hits in one ERA or the New
York Mets four runs on seven hits and one ERA.
The winning pitchers Don Drysdale, the winning is pitcher in
the major Leagues, who now has won sixteen games and

(02:51:44):
lost only four, and the losing pitcher Al Jackson for
the New York Mets, who turned in another fine performance,
going all the way but taking the loss, and he
now has won four games and lost ten. Twenty three
nine ten paid here tonight at the Polo Grounds to
send the attendance mark over the half million mark for

(02:52:04):
the season here at the Polo Grounds. The New York
Mets got off to an early lead to night on
Phoenix Mansia's three run home run, but the Dodgers pecked away,
getting one in the second and two and the third
to tie it up. Maury Wills had a home to
send the Dodgers ahead in the top of the fifth,
but the Mets came on on the bottom half of
the fifth inning when Richie Ashburn scored on a sacrifice

(02:52:25):
fly by Jean Woodling, and that tied it up at
four four And that's the way they battled in the
top of the nine, when Ron Fairley's home run won
the ball game. Don't forget the old Timer's Day here
