In those cheer ful days, no one could tell what might occur from one half hour to another and one morning It came the Smith family's turn. Bang went the blast, up went the rocks, and one of the weightiest passed through the roof, landing on the parlor floor not more than a Jew feet from the piano.

LETTERBOX HAS THE WORM TURNED? Editor, l)aily News: It is doubtful if baseball fans can recall a more discouraging team than that which befel the Brooklyn Dodgers in the third game of the 194.1 World Series. As in the present series they were opposed by the New York Yankees, who, as was the case this year. 'fcad won- the first two! games. The Dodgers had the! game cinched in the ninth when pitcher Hugh Casey, who had two men down, put the third strike on the batter but the catcher, while stopping the ball, did not catch same and made no effort to picSc it up and first-it, taking it for granted that the game was over as it didn't appear as though the batter was going to run. However, the coach or somebody, noticing the situation, got the batter started for first and, In the mix-up and excitement, the Dodger's catcher just couldn't seem to put his hand on the ball until it .was too late. The runner was saie. With the Yankee's big artillery, including Joe DiMaggio, coming up the laughter that followed was not only disheartening to fthe Dodgers, when, history re cords lost the game, tout to any Henrich .smashed double off Spankys. glove, scoring Brown. Side retired with bases loaded. Seventh Inning One run, two hits, no errors, one left.

It so upset the morale of the Dodger's team that they had no fight left when the Yankees went on to make it four stroke of fate to confront a ball , straight the next day. They still had more than enough of that bad luck in the second game or the present series, with the Yankees getting the breaks as usual. But yesterday it was different. With the Yankees eettirre as many hits as the Dodgers, Including two homers ,one by a plnch-hltter, a World Series re cord, the Dodgers withstood the best the Yankees had to offer.
