Show Dodgers Should Have Started Roe Instead of Newcombe In Opener, Second Guessers Say By CARL LUNDQUIST k NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (U.R) The i ?ond guessers Insisted today that the Dodgers would be better off In the world series if they had started Preacher Roe instead of Don Newcombe in that 1 to 0 opener that Yankee Tommy Hen-rich Hen-rich broke or- with a nirilh inning in-ning homer. i They don't mean that Henrich wouldn't have hit 'the homer off Roe. They don't even mean that Roe might, hnve done as well as Rookie Newcombe in that dramatic dram-atic pitching battle 1' which Allie Reynolds wouldn't be denied. It Is just that Roe now isn't 'going to De r laoie ai pea ei-ficiency ei-ficiency more than once lecause in the space of even a seven-game aeries he needs more rest than , most pitchers. Clutch Hurler Roe very definitely was the clutch hurler on the Dodger staffj xne lenow wno came mrouRii with three straight victories Jin the September ' stretch ran. But how did he win them? Wjth plenty ojLrest in each case. On one occr Ion he-had six days of rest before beating Cincinnati. .then with seven days of rest he blanked the Cardinals with two hits. He wound up his campaign after eight days of rest by 'beating 'beat-ing the Braves, breezing to a 9 to 2 victory. On each occasion old Skin and Bones was in tip jtop shape. t Yesterday, with hi- arm admittedly admit-tedly "feeling fine" he was by-. by-. passed for Newcombe. It is doubtful doubt-ful that he could have done any better than Big Newk probably not as well. But it must be emphasized em-phasized that when, he goes to-day, to-day, he will not be ready for his normal turn on the mound until 5 Oct. 11, which would be the seventh game of the series if it isn't all over by then anyhow.- ; One Day Sooner V Supposing Roe lost yesterday, .'as did Newcombe.

Y.. Oct. 6 (U.R) District Attorney Gordon Steele, investigating the death of Heavyweight Heavy-weight Enrique Bertola after a fight against Lee Oma here, planned today to question1 Oma and other principals in the bout, today.

" He collapsed in his dressing room Monday night after losing a 10-round decision to Oma. Conducts Autopsy Medical Examiner Milton J. Schulz, who conducted an autopsy yesterday, said the cause of death was an intercranial hemorrhage and a brain swelling. '-f Schulz indicated he expected a certificate of accidental . death would be issued. Oma, 33-year-old ring veteran from Detroit, decisively defeated Bertola, former heavyweight champion of Italy. He gave the Italian a severe beating about the head, but seemed to ease up when he might have scored a knockout in the closing two rounds. Taken to Chicago ' Emil Nanny, Bertola's manager. said the fighter's body would be taken to Chicago for burial. He said that Bertola's parents, who live in Carrara, Italy, have been, informed of their son's death and that the $2500 proceeds of an in surance policy which automatic ally covers all boxers in New York pro rings would be added to Bertola's estate.

'Nothing At All' v 4 a lommv iavsATier Clouting Homer By OSCAR FRALEY United Press Sports Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 6. (U.R) Sweat stooti out in glistening beads on his fdrebead and there was a quizzical, almost embarrassed, look oh Tommy Henrich s face. ucks," he said in that clip- tone he brought out of Mas- lllon, O., "that wasn't anything, hardly." The thing which wasn t any thing, hardly," was the home run he just had belted off burly Don Newcombe to give the New York Yankees the first game of the world series, l.to 0. Modest Type The blue-eyed Henrich is not the shy, modest type. If anything, the guy the Yankees call "Old Reliable" givr the impression of nickel-plated cockiness. He is a square-cut character and, if you don't get in his way, you svon't get hurt. Now everybody was complimenting compli-menting him on the home run which broke up the first game. Tommy couldn't understand all the fuss. Big Don Newcombe 'struck out 11 men in the game but Tommy wasn't sene of them. Not the first time, when Henrich grounded put nor the second time, when he popped up; nor the third when he drove a long fly to center fieH. Fourth Time Up And emphatically not .the fourth time at the plate. For that was when Tommy laid his- wood to the ball "good" and broke up the ball game. "Honest," Tommy said, "I don't even know what kind of a pitch I hit. It just looked good yeah, pretty good so I hit it." The biggest thrill he ver had? "Heck, no," Tommy grinned. "Why it was a much bigger thrill just winning the pennant. That's the kind of a thing that's a real challenge. You like yiat, because it's a tough, five-month job, really something to accomplish. Why. anybody could have hit that ball into the stands." But "anybody" didn't! That's what makes Henrich the "Old Reliable" of the Yankees a standout on a club of bandaged battlers. fj. .IWIMI .ii.w.WW)J''-i"ll"liiM.."".J.

DAILY HERALD Thursday, October 6, 1949 'Wottd Guy' Casey Shouts After Henrich Hits Homer By MILTON RICHMAN onjy wanted to talk about Ha NEW YORK, Oct. 6 (U.R) Dusk rich's wondrous waUoo today was descending on Yankee na-y "What would I . do without dium as Casey Stengel crouched expectantly at the plate. The Ditcher took his sien from the catcher, wound up and let fly. wnac! Stengel s bat came around and sent the ball on a low, screaming line to left-center. When Casey finally stopped running he was across the plate with an inside the park homer, a wallop that gave., the New York Giants a 5 to 4 opening game victory over the New York Yankees on Oct. 10, 1923. Until today, that ninth-inning homer meant most in Casey's book Meant More To Him But today, the grizzled New York Yankee manager named another ninth-inning homer that meant more to him. It was, of course. Tommy Henrich's rainbow-like wallop that lodged in the right field seats yesterday to give the Yankees a l to 0 verdict over Brooklyn in the series opener. i- aiengei. wno also oeued a homer in the third 'game of -the 1923 series to-furnish his club with a similar 1 to 0 triumph. Henrich?" Casey asked delirious ly following the Yankee triumph. "Wotta guy! That's all I can say. wotta guy! Second Homer "That second homer X hit in the 1923 series must have landed in the same place Henrich's did but ' Tommy s blow means much more." i An exhilirant Henrich wasn't even sure what kind of pitch ha hit off Dodger hurler Don New combe. All he was , sure of was that he hit it. J "Heck, I don't even know what I hit," Henrich exclaimed while accepting the enthusiastic congratulations con-gratulations of his teammates. "I was just looking at the ball and it looked pretty good to me." If the homer looked good to Tommy, it looked positively painful pain-ful to Newcombe. . "It was a low curve," mumbled the dispirited Dodger hurler, making no effort to hide his disgust dis-gust and despair. "It was also one of the biggest disappointments of my life." h added.
