Remember, he didn't win the NL glory with only Burdette and Splin on the mound. On- the Yankee side of the fence, you must give a lot of credit to guys like McDougald, Mantle, Bauer, Turley, Ford and Howard for the important part they played in the big spectacle. Elston Howard, in our estimation, is the lucki- est break the New York organization has had in sonic time. Howard, the first Negro to ever wear a Yankee uniform, made the turning point in the series with his phenomenal catch in the fifth game, Although he batted somewhere around the lowly percentage of .222, .he got the big hits when they counted. He had two safeties in each of the last two contests with one of them driving ill Yogi Berra from second base with the winning run of the series. Defensively, again, he turned a long fly to left into a double play with the bases loaded by nailing Pafko at the plate by a country mile with a perfect peg. Many press clippings have been passed to the public on this ahtleto, Bill Dickey, who should know Aleut catchers if anyone should, says that Howard is much better than Yogi Berra. On any other team in the majors, Howard would be the No. 1 backstop! Bulky Bob- Turley, who turned out to be a real star, won a car for himself for being chosen by Sports Magazine as the hero of the classic. We'll go along with Lyall Smith, writer for a Detroit paper, when he says that Turley should cart Howard around for a couple of free rides. Turley agrees. CUFF CLEANERS — Move back mor0.
