SUPPOSE I should admit at the beginning that the

only World Series games I ever saw were from center

field. Last year, when the Yanks beat the Giants, it

was my first World Series. There I was out there in

center field for the Yanks, going after those drives of

Ott, Terry, Mancuso, and the rest of the Giants, and in

the first year of my major-league playing. I got as much

of a thrill out of that series as the thousands who filled

the Yankee Stadium or the Polo Grounds each game of

the series. Here I am seeing my second World Series

from that same spot, out in the center garden. Maybe I

never will see a World Series game from the stands.

That's O. K. with me as long as I see the next one from

where I saw the last one.

A World Series game isn't. much different from a

regular game, except that there is more at stake and more

excitement. I guess the players feel a little more tense,

just like the fans. We've been playing against the same

teams all season and know what to expect. But in a

World Series game we're up against a different situation.

We don't know as much about the Giants, the Cubs, or

the Cards, so aren't so sure what will happen. And you

can always look for the unexpected in a World Series.

Every player has his off days in the field and at the plate

during the season. But in a series, one off day can be

disastrous. And when the pressure is on, you're likely

to be overanxious.

"

I'm not worried about my hitting in this series. But I

sure would feel better if I knew just where Ott of the

Giants, Gabby" Hartnett of the Cubs, or Medwick of

the Cards was going to hit when he comes up. An

error or a badly played hit may mean the difference be-

tween victory or defeat for a world's championship. So

you can understand why right now I am looking forward

to that last out so I can get out to San Francisco and be

with my dad at Joe DiMaggio's Grotto down on Fisher-

men's Wharf. I guess I'd rather be out there talking with

dad and the boys than hitting against Hubbell, Lee, or

Dean.

Although a player soon gets used to the crowds and the

noise, I guess we feel about the same way the person in

the stands does in the last half of the ninth with the

winning run on third. I remember many times when I

used only the front ten cents' worth of my bleacher seat

when the San Francisco Seals' slugger was coming up

in such a spot.

Playing out there in center field, waiting for Gehringer

or Averill to lay one out my way, I get a chance to do a

little thinking. Usually I am pretty busy playing the

batter and figuring out what to do under the set-up. But

I can't help but hear the "bleacher bugs" yelling and

whistling. And then I steal a glance up around the stands

and say to myself, "Boy, if they only knew what I know,

with Travis coming up!

"

Maybe some of the people who follow the game closely

and are dyed-in-the-wool fans see the infield move toward

third base. Gehrig and Lazzeri move closer to second,

and Crosetti and Rolfe move toward the third-base line.

And the outfield shifts to the left. You see, Travis of

Washington is what we call a left-field hitter. We know

that about seven out of ten times he will hit to left. This

doesn't mean that we are going to get him out every time

But we figure we have a better chance of
