Well, after his near fatal plane accident, coming back from a football game last Saturday,

Bill DeCosta, supervising field engineer for Mutual and Lou Jorgensen at the controls of the engineering department.

And down in Philadelphia, on the controls, at that end were Frank Paff, Del Dengate, and Alan Smith.

Our sincere appreciation to all those people

for making it so easy for Al Helper,

yours truly, Mel Allen, and the man whose voice you will hear

over the first four and a half innings today

do such an easy job.

Talking about a fellow who celebrated his 32nd birthday

yesterday, and he was just a little superstitious

because the game wound up three and two. But Gene, anytime being two make 32,

well, that's something I have to learn. I always thought they made five. Gene Kelly.

Thank you, Mel, and of course you'll note that he's in the fields are wearing number

19.

Of course, one game has, and the nine innings, regulation distance games.

It is interesting as well to point out that no one team has scored more than one run

in any one inning, compositely speaking, of the games played, and we had one 10-enning a fray. The first

inning has been scoreless, and that is all. The Phillies have been held scoreless in the

first four innings of the first three games, and the Yankees have posted singles in the

second, third, and fourth, while the Fields have had a tendency to score late. But the Yankees, a little bit later to the tune of,

enjoy yourself, Phillies, it's later than you think,

for their late rallies in the last two games, have won out for them.
