Two walks, two singles and a sliced three-run homer, about 350 feet into the lower right-field stands, left the Dodgers five runs behind, before Manager Walter Alston got his 24-year-old left hander out of action. After that it was up to Ford, whose left handed pitches had won the ser ies opener. Dodger hopes / received a cruel blow m the third inning when Duke Snider, the home run hero of the series with four in the first five games, had to leave the line up because his left knee “popped” as he chased an outfield fly by Bill Skowron. It wasn’t known immediately whether Snider would be avail able for the final game.

A period of concern had set in last night when his doctors found the chief executive tired and feel ing under par. The physicians, trying to determine the cause, took an X-ray of his damaged heart today to see whether there had been any enlargement. They found none. Still further evidence of presi dential improvement was the half hour, Hagerty said, the chief ex ecutive spent this morning play ing a picture quiz game, with the help of a nurse. In Boston, the Internationally famed heart specialist, Dr. Paul Dudley White, said that “I feel relieved.” He had been suspicious earlier that Eisenhower’s weariness last night meant something might be wrong.
