Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. WORLD SERIES: MAGLIE TRIMS YANKS, 6-3 BROOKLYN - Behind the sterling pitching of Sal Maglie, 39, the "come-back guy" of baseball, the Brooklyn Dodgers win the first game 6-3. President Eisenhower tosses out the first ball, as 34,400 fans cheer the start of baseball's autumnal classic. It's a battle of home runs, with Hodges' 3-run homer the big blow of the game. 2A/B. DELTA JET CRASHES: ENGLAND - The RAF's delta-wing Vulcan bomber crashes in landing, as it completes a 26,000-mile flight, at an average speed of over 500 mph. The loss of the big bomber is a sharp set-bact to Britain's air expansion program. / MAMIE SEES CD GARB: WASHINGTON, D.C. - Mrs. Eisenhower gets a special preview of new uniforms for women Civil Defense workers. Trimly tailored in "CD Blue-grey," they include one and two piece dress uniforms, and smartly functional coveralls. 3. HURDLING HOUNDS: HOLLAND - Greyhound racing with a novel twist, added steeplechase thrills. Two races for top speedsters of the breed, and the pack covers the course with lightning-swift sleek grace, at better than 50 mph average over the distance. (TRAILER) REGISTER AND VOTE.
