GAME 1 -- Brooklyn 7, Chicago 0
Conley Reigns In Colts
Ace Anchors Six-Hit Shutout
BROOKLYN (Oct. 2) -- Brooklyn ace Gene Conley held the West Division champion Chicago Colts to six hits in eight innings, as the Bas hammered the Horsies 7-0 in Game 1 of the seventh United League World Series.  Mickey Mantle and Granny Hamner had RBI singles in the bottom of the first, and the defending champs doubled their lead in the fourth and continued to pile on to their lead, culminating in the eighth with a Dick Williams home run and Jim Gentine RBI double.  Brooklyn pounded out 15 hits--12 off Tom Sturdivant in the first seven innings--including four hits by Mantle and three by Gentile.  Conley (and Barney Schultz, who pitched the ninth) held Chicago to six hits, and only one for extra bases (Nellie Fox's two-out fifth inning double).  Conley, who struck out eight and walked none, is now 9-3 in 14 World Series starts.

GAME 2 -- Brooklyn 2, Chicago 1
Mantilla Hits Walk-Off in Ninth
Heroic Homer Gives Bas 2-0 Lead
BROOKLYN (Oct. 3) -- Felix Mantilla parked Don "Sphinx" Mossi's first pitch into the cheap seats in left center to break a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the ninth and give Brooklyn a 2-0 lead as the Series heads west to Comiskey Stadium for Game 3.  Lew Burdette () and Don Mossi lock horns in a classic pitchers duel, as the game remained scoreless until Al Kaline's solo homer in the bottom of the sixth.  Chicago tied the game their next time up as catcher Buck Rodgers drove home Ernie Banks, and the score held at 1-1 until the bottom of the ninth.  Mossi had allowed just five hits until Mantilla's game winning blast, though he had walked three.  Burdette went the distance with a eight-hit complete game, striking out six with no walks.  Roy Campanella, just six weeks shy of his 41st birthday, was 2-for-2 with a walk for Brooklyn, making him the oldest player to play in a World Series game.

GAME 3 -- Chicago 1, Brooklyn 0
Herbert Blanks Superbas
Mr. Breakout Throws Colts a Lifeline
CHICAGO (Oct. 5) -- Ray Herbert, who had a colossal breakout year (23-12, 2.91) after just five wins in the previous four seasons, paralyzed Brooklyn batters today, holding the Bas to just four hits, as Chicago won 1-0.  Herbert allowed just one walk and one extra base hit, and notched a shutout in his first postseason start, and just the second shutout in World Series history.  San Francisco's Ewell Blackwell shut out Brooklyn in Game 2 in 1959, in a  series eventually won by the Spiders.
   Whitey Ford also allowed just four hits, and battled Herbert toe to toe in a scoreless game until the bottom of the seventh.  Nellie Fox led off with a walk, moved to third on successive sac bunts by Chuck Hinton and Herbert, and scored on Jim Busby's two-strike double to straightaway center.
   Both teams started the game with two singles, but stranded runners in the first.  Dick Williams doubled with two outs in the third, but Sandy Amoros popped out, and Mickey Mantle singled to lead off the fourth but was erased on Granny Hamner's double play.  Herbert then retired 14 of the next 15 batters he faced.

GAME 4 -- Brooklyn 5, Chicago 2
Granny and Longballs
Kaline, Mantilla Homer Again
CHICAGO (Oct. 6) -- Just as in Game 2, Al Kaline and Felix Mantilla homered for Brooklyn, and just as in Game 2, the Superbas won, this time 5-2 to move to within one of the 1963 UL championship.  The back-to-back blasts off Billy Pierce in the fifth inning gave the Brooks a 5-0 lead that never looked threatend, as Gene Conley coasted to his 10th World Series win, allowing five hits and two runs in seven innings.
   Brooklyn established a 2-0 lead in the third on an RBI double by Granny Hamner and RBI groundout by Kaline.  Hamner had four hits in the game, including two doubles.
   Chicago clawed back a pair in the bottom on fifth, including one on Don Demeter's solo homer, but never seriously threatened Conley or Duke Maas, who pitched the last two innings for the save.  Game 5 is tomorrow in Chicago, when Tom Sturdivant will face Lew Burdette and try to force a Game 6 in Brooklyn.

GAME 5 -- Brooklyn 3, Chicago 2
Hamner Homers Brooks to Sixth Title
Burdette Gets Second Win, Colts Squelched Again
CHICAGO (Oct. 7) -- Lew Burdette held the hosts to four hits and Granny Hamner hit a solo homer off Tom Sturdivant to break a 2-2 tie in the eighth and give Brooklyn its sixth United League championship, and fourth in a row.
   Brooklyn struck first, on Hobie Landrith's RBI single in the second, before Chicago briefly captured the lead on Nellie Fox's two-run homer.  Mickey Mantle tripled to lead of the third and Hamner drove him in with a sac fly, tying the score 2-2, where it stayed until the eighth.
   Gene Conley was named Series MVP, with two wins, a 1.20 ERA, 13 strikeouts and one walk in 15 innings.  Lew Burdette was a close runner up, with two wins, a 1.59 ERA, nine strikeouts, and no walks in 17 innings.  Brooklyn staff was stellar, holding the Colts to a .185 batting average and just six runs in five games.  Whitey Ford, who suffered Brooklyn's only loss (1-0 in Game 3), actually had the lowest ERA (1.13).
   Granny Hamner was the Series' top hitter, batting .471 (8-17) with 4 RBIs.  Al Kaline and Felix Mantilla each homered twice in the Series, and Mickey Mantle led all batters with nine hits.  Don Demeter was Chicago's best hitter, batting .278 (5-18) with one of the Colts' two home runs.
