prove too much for New York. Snider, who hit 4 HRs
in the 1952 WS, becomes the first player in history
to do this more than once.

The Yanks kayo lefty Karl Spooner in the first
with 5 runs on 2 walks, 2 singles and Moose Skowron's
HR. Ford goes all the way for the 5-1 victory.

LF to one-hand an opposite-field bid for extra
bases by Yogi Berra with the tying runs on. Amoros
turns and fires to SS Pee Wee Reese who throws
a bullet to Gil Hodges at 1B for the DP on Yankee
base runner Gil McDougald.
