JOHNNY SAIN PITCHES BOSTON BRAVES

TO FIRST VICTORY

By GAYLE TALBOT

Boston, Oct. 6-Johny Sain pitched the under- dog Boston Braves to a 1-0 win in the first game of the World Series, beating the Cleveland Indians and their ace, Bob Feller.

Feller pitched a brilliant two hitter, but one of those hits was a clear single over third base to Tommy Holmes, Boston rightfleld, for the only run of the game. That hit scored pinch runner, Phil Masi from second in the last of the eighth.

There was not another thing approaching a score in the tingling pitchers' duel.
