United Press International CINCINNATI (UPI) It was, admitted, a Johnny Blanchar long wait before he came out of the shadows and climbed to the very top of the baseball moun- tain. He's there today, as a member of the world champion New York Yankees. He played a big part in putting them there, too. "I'm numb," soberly admitted the young man from Minnesota. "I can't smile and I can't tell you how great I feel but it's the greatest feeling I ever had." The realization that no matter what happens froni here on in as far as his baseball career is concerned nothing can ever top the World Series win over the Cincinnati Reds was difficult to absorb. For Blanchard was one of those who was until Monday men too good to let go and yet, by some razor's edge deficiency, not quite good enough to crack it big. As a catcher he stood behind such as Yogi Berra and Elston Howard.

Yankees Wreck Jay A five-ru- n first inning off Joey 21 - game winner the Reds' Jay, who had won the second game of the series, started the Yankees on. their way, with Blanchard hitting a two-ruhomer. It never was a contest after that, although the Reds did pull within three runs in the .third inning when Frank Robinson hit a home run with two mates on base. That chased Yankee starter Ralph Terry, but IJud Daley came in to put out the fire. The Reds scored two unearned runs off him, but they were far too .late and far too little. Daley received credit for the victory while Jay was charged with the defeat. Bobby Richardson, whose .391 average was the best in the series, started the Yankees off on the right foot with a record-tyinsingle. It was his ninth hit, tying such old timers as Home Run Baker, Eddie Collins, Heinie Groh and Joe Moore for the most series. hits in a Roof Caves In the next two batters retired Jay but then the roof caved in. He tried to pick Richardson off first, but first baseman Gordon .Coleman let the ball get away from him for an error and Richardson went to second. Blanchard then blasted one into the right field bleachers. Then came a double by Elston Howard, which a single by Bill Skowron finished Jay and brought in Jim a triple by Lopez and Maloney a double by Boyer, and the Yan kees had five" big runs. They made it 0 in the second on a single by Tony Kubek and a double by Roger Maris. 15-h- 2 2 3 4 2 2 5 3 0 2 I Terry p .

The Yankee list of heroes was long, of course, beginning with Whitey Ford, who set a series mark of 32 consecutive scoreless innings with his 14 shutout innings in this series; Johnny Blanchard, who hit two key home runs; Bobby Richardson, who batted .391; Bill Skowron and Els-to- n Howard. And, in fact, right on to Roger Maris, who made only two hits but whose game- winning homer on Saturday was singled out by Hutchinson as "the turning point of the series." "That was the, one that hurt us the most," said Hutchinson. "Un til then we were doing all right. Then everything started to go wrong." Hutch Praises Players conceded he was Hutchinsbn sad tha the Reds hadn't done better but refused to criticize his players. "Our guys did a good job all year," he said, "nobody exp'ected us to win the pennant and we did.
