By LEO H. PETERSON

New York, Oct. 4.

The Brooklyn Dodgers, behind the stout pitching of Johnny Podres, won their first World Series in cight tries today, when they defeated the New York Yankees 2-0 in the seventh and deciding game of the 1955 classic.

It was a great triumph for the Dodgers, but an even greater triumph for the 23-year-old southpaw, who turned back the mighty Yanks on eight hits before a roaring crowd of 62.465 in big Yankee Stadium.

SING TAO SHOULD NEVER HAVE LOST THE GAME TO EASTERN YESTERDAY

Says I. M. MacTAVISH

Four fleet-footed youngsters, coaxed, coddled and curbed by an old walking soccer encyclopaedia struggling along on two sturdy legs that have long forgotten the flush of youth, exploded any myth of invincibility that may have surrounded this new Eastern team.

In virtually the closing seconds of the match Eastern's Kwok Ying-lok got a head touch on a high cross from the right and watched anxiously as the ball cluded the grasping angers of gallant Tam Nal-buen to give his teammates a victory they never really deserved.

The Spot of Honour at the Top of the Sports Parade this week is a little overcrowded as we welcome the large party of soldier swimmers of all ranks and ages who took part in the Annual Cross Harbour Swim on Sunday.

The swim was carried out in what was officially term- ed 'favourable' conditions but to the casual onlooker it seemed that the current and the wind must have added to the swimmers' task.
