THREE GAMES EACH NOW

THE CHINA MAIL WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1956. -

GRAND SLAM FOR MELBOURNE

DODGERS WIN

WIN A A GREAT MATCH TO SQUARE WORLD SERIES

By OSCAR FRALEY

Brooklyn, Oct. 9.

Aging Jackie Robinson slashed a clutch single which broke a 10th inning scoreless tie and defeated the New York Yankees, 1-0, today to square the World Series for the Brooklyn Dodgers at three games each.

Robinson, nearing the end of the baseball trail, had left five base runners stranded previously against the 95-mile-an-hour fast ball of bullet Bob Turley. But finally, with two out in the 10th inning and two men on via walks, the man who broke baseball's colour line banged out the hit which carried Clem Labine to victory in the first World Series shutout at Ebbets Field in 36 years.

YESTERDAY'S RUGGER

Police Fully Deserved Their Victory

In the first half of the rugger match played yesterday evening on the Police ground in Boundary Street, it looked as if the result predicted in this column was going to be very sadly out, for the Airmen, playing against the dazzling sun, were seldom out of the Policemen's half of the fleki.

After half time, however, the Police forwards came to life with a suddenness which not only surprised spectators but also the RAF Mainland, and when the Police ran off the field the victors by 8 points (1 goal, 1 try) to nil they fully deserved their victory.
