![Payoff made on speed -- Joe Gordon, Yankee shortstop, was champing at the bit on first base when Babe Dahlgren slammed a fast ground ball past third base into left field in the fifth inning of the first game of the World Series between the Cincinnati Reds and the New York Yankees at New York, Oct. 4. Wally Berger handled the ball for the Reds, and instead of throwing to Ernie Lombardi to prevent a score, he threw to Lonnie [i.e., Lonny] Frey at second base to hold Dahlgren at first. But Gordon crossed up the defense and scampered around third for home for the first Yankee score. The above magic-eye strip from left to right and top to bottom, shows the Yankee speed merchant tearing down the basepath in a swift race with the ball. Center picture, upper strip, shows the start of Gordon's slide. He faded to his left as he went into the plate. The throw from the infield pulled Lombardi away from the plate, and Gordon was safe [illegible]](https://bpldcassets.blob.core.windows.net/derivatives/images/commonwealth:5x21xh58j/image_thumbnail_300.jpg)
