YANKS DEFEAT CARDS 2–0 TO WIN WORLD SERIES
Bill Dickey’s homer blasts Card hopes
Yankee catcher’s drive scores Keller in sixth inning
St. Louis, Missouri (UP) –
The New York Yankees became the world champions of 1943 at Sportsman’s Park here today when they defeated the Cardinals in the fifth game of the World Series.
The score was 2–0.
Bill Dickey’s home run with Charlie Keller on base in the sixth inning spoiled a grand pitching effort by Mort cooper who had set the Bronx bombers down with comparative ease until that time.
Mort Cooper started off in great fashion as he fanned Frank Crosetti, Bud Metheny and Billy Johnson in the first inning. He continued his work in the second by fanning Charlie Keller and Bill Dickey before Nick Etten worked him for a pass.
Ray Sanders singled to open the second inning. He was safe at second and Johnny Hopp made first when Crosetti dropped the ball on the force play. Marion sacrificed, advancing both runners. Mort Cooper fanned, and Klein flied out to end the Cards’ second threat.
Cooper was in trouble briefly in the third when Crosetti and Metheny singled with two out, but Billy Johnson popped to Kurowski for the final out. Walker Cooper singled in the Cards’ half after two were gone and he was out trying to stretch the hit into a double.
Kurowski beat out a bunt in the fourth and Ray Sanders walked on four pitched balls. Hopp fanned. Marion hit to Crosetti who got Sanders at second, but Marion beat the throw to first. Cooper grounded out.
The Yankees made a bid in the fifth, but it was stifled by Cooper. However, it was a costly frame for the Cardinals as Walker Cooper was hit on the finger by a foul tip and had to leave the game. Ken O’Dea took over the catching job. With one out, Tuck Stainback scratched a single and went to second on a sacrifice. He made third on a wild pitch but stayed there when Crosetti flied out.
Bill Dickey hit a home run, after Keller singled, to score the first runs of the game in the sixth. In the seventh, Gordon walked and was sacrificed to second by Stainback, but Chandler and Crosetti were easy outs.
Cooper went out for a pinch hitter in the last of the seventh and Max Lanier was back for his third try at the Yanks in the eighth. After fanning Lanier, he got into trouble when Billy Johnson singled and Keller worked him for a pass. Dickey hit into a double play to end the inning.
In the eighth, O’Dea singled with two out and Kurowski moved him along with a single over third, but Gordon snapped up Sanders’ grounder and got him at first.
Etten beat out a trickler to open the Yanks ninth and Gordon walked. Stainback bunted and Etten was out at third. With Chandler up, Southworth called in Murry Dickson, a right-hander, to replace Lanier. Chandler fouled to O’Dea, but Crosetti waited for a walk to fill the bases. Metheny grounded out to end the threat.
