Dodgers Win In 10th On Robinson double to beat Yankees
In a tense World Series game at Brooklyn, Jackie Robinson delivered a two out, two on single in the 10th inning to score Junior Gilliam and give the Dodgers a 1-0 victory over the Yankees. The win ties the series at 3-3 with Game 7 set for Ebbets Field. The duel featured Bob Turley against Clem Labine, each stifling the other until the decisive hit. Turley fanned 11 while Labine allowed seven hits and shut down the Yanks after the early innings. Gilliam and Snider drew walks to set up Robinson’s game winning blow, which sailed over Enos Slaughter’s head and into the wall. Don Newcombe will pitch the deciding game for Brooklyn.

He warned that without guarantees against canal use for national aims, a just settlement may be unlikely, yet he saw good prospects for peace as the Security Council began closed sessions.
