Dodgers Stage Three Late Rallies
In 17-Inning Triumph Over Phils
BROOKLYN Phillies right fielder Del
Ennis swung a big bat Wednesday almost
big enough to overcome his scattershot right
arm.
Ennis doubled, homered and drove in four
runs against Brooklyn, but in the end a throw-
ing error in the 17th inning, his second of the
game, allowed the winning run to score as Phil-
adelphia lost a wild heart-breaker, 12-11, to the
Dodgers.
Ennis wasnt the only goat in the Philly me-
nagerie. Phils pitchers failed to hold leads of 1-
0, 4-2, 6-2, 10-8 and 11-10. But his wild peg on
the games final play served as a memorable
final act on a day of high drama.
The Dodgers rose from the dead on three oc-
casions. Their six-run rally the final run scor-
ing on Ennis first error erased a four-run
deficit in the seventh inning. Trailing 10-8 and
down to their last out in the ninth, the Brooks
tied it on Jackie Robinsons two-run homer off
Leo Cristante.
They fell behind 11-10 on Philadelphia pitch-
er Russ Meyers squeeze bunt in the top of the
17th. However Meyer, pitching his sixth inning
of relief, faltered in the bottom of the frame,
allowing a one-out single to Pee Wee Reese
who finished with four hits and three runs
scored then walking pinch-hitter Tommy
Brown.
Jocko Thompson relieved Meyer, and
promptly gave up a single to Billy Cox. Reese
scored the tying run, and Brown romped home
with the winner when Ennis throw to third base
eluded Puddin Head Jones.
Meyer (0-1) took the loss, allowing two runs
(one earned) in 5 1/3 innings pitched. Phil
Haugstad (1-0), the Dodgers eighth pitcher, got
the win, allowing one run in three hitless in-
nings.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the National League:
The Giants bats awoke just in time to make a
winner of Sal Maglie in a 4-1 victory over the
Braves in Boston.
New York, shut out in its opening game Tues-
day, extended its season-opening streak of futili-
ty to 16 innings Wednesday. But Hank Thomp-
son ended the scoring drought in the eighth with
a two-run double that ignited a four-run rally.
That was two runs more than Maglie (1-0)
would need. Last seasons National League
ERA leader threw a seven-hit complete game
without benefit of a strikeout.
Johnny Sain (0-1) took the loss, allowing

Past, Future help present Yanks with 7-5 win over Sox
NEW YORK Neither Joe DiMaggio nor
Mickey Mantle is hitting a lick. But the vener-
ated Yankees icon and his celebrated 19-year-
old heir apparent found ways to contribute to
New Yorks 7-5 win over Boston on Wednes-
day.
DiMaggio drove in the Yanks first run with
a game-tying ground out in the first, and Man-
tle knocked in the last run, an insurance tally,
with an RBI fly out in the eighth. The duos
productivity belies their otherwise slow start
through two games, they have one hit apiece
and are a combined 2-for-20.
No matter, when the top of the order is click-
ing. Leadoff hitter Gene Woodling had two hits
and two runs scored Wednesday, while No. 2
hitter and reigning American League MVP
Phil Rizzuto had a pair of hits, including a go-
ahead two-run triple in the sixth.
AROUND THE HORN
Elsewhere in the American League:
Early Wynn pitched a complete game and
cracked a solo homer and two-run double as
the Indians topped the Tigers, 5-2, in Detroit.
And Eddie Yost ripped two doubles and a
homer, driving in three runs, as Washington
humbled the Athletics, 10-2, at Philadelphias
Shibe Park. Senators shortstop Sam Dente had
two RBI, giving him a major league-leading
six.
YANK ROOKIE TAKES A BRIDE
Now in the Army, Ed (Whitey) Ford, sensa-
tional Yankee rookie pitcher of 1950, is pic-
tured with his bride, the former Jean Foran,
following their recent wedding at Long Island
City, N.Y. The whole Yankee team attended
the wedding reception, and then took care of
the Red Sox.
