YANKEES EVEN ACCOUNTS BY BEATING DODGERS
5-1 IN SIXTH
SIXTH GAME
By LEO H. ˇ· PETERSEN
New York, Oct. 3.
The New York Yankees, scoring all their runs in a wild first inning, evened the World Series at three games each today when they defeated the Brooklyn Dodgers 5-1 behind the four-hit pitching of Whitey Ford.
Powered by a three-run homer by Bill Skowron after the Dodgers opened the gates with two fielding lapses by Junior Gilliam and the wildness of starting pitcher Karl Spooner, the Yankees gave their star southpaw all the runs he needed in their first time at bat, and sent the series into the seventh and deciding game tomorrow,

Uncoventional Cricket Match In Mid-Solent
During Autumn Equinox
By
"ALL-ROUNDER”
The Brambles sand-bank in mid-Solent is exposed twice a year only at low tide at the spring and autumn equinox. An unconventional cricket match was played there on the latter occasion on September 17 between Mr Uffa Fox's team of "Yachtsmen" and a combined Parkhurst and Camp Hill XI calling themselves the "Prisoners.'
"
The two sides sailed to the “ground” in a sloop, and stumps were pitched on the exposed sand which measured about thirty square yards. Several of the fielders took

Ryder Cup Team Chosen By Wrong System
Says LEONARD BELSHAM
London, Oct. 3.
The announcement lust week of the Professional „Golfers' Association's order of merit for 1955 adds weight to the widespread belief that Britain's Ryder Cup team was chosen by a wrong system.
Also that a blunder was committed in not giving one of the last three places to Henry Cotton; non-playing cap- tain of the 1953 team and admittedly, even to his severest critics, number one personality in the game.
