Larsen Hurls Perfect Came Yanks Top Bums, 2-0; Lead, 3-2 NEW YORK, Oct. 8 (i<P) Don Larsen, 27, a tali temper amental New York Yankee right-hander, pitched the first perfect game in World Series history today and beat Brook lyn’s Sal Maglie 2-0. The triumph gave the Yanks a 3-2 edge after five games. Retiring 27 successive Dodgers •while 64,519 fans nibbled at their finger nails, Larsen drew an ear splitting ovation as he whipped a third called strike past pinch hitter Dale Mitchell for the final Out. • Not since Charley Robertson of the Chicago White Sox mowed down Detroit for a per fect game, April 30. 1922. in a regular season American League game had a major league pitcher gone nine full Innings without allowing a batsman to reach first base. In all the history of major league baseball only six pitch ers have hui led -perfect games. When catcher Yogi Berra grabbed that, final strike he rushed to meet Larsen near the first base line and grabbed him in a bunny hug, completely leav ing the ground In his joyous leap. The entire Yankee club gathered around the big 6-4 pitcher as he ploughed through a mass of hu manity toward the dug'out. Only once did Larsen reach the count of three balls on a batter and that was Pee Wee Reese, who became a strikeout victim in the first inning. In all Larsen struck out seven, five of them on a called final strike. An erratic in-and-ou£er last year after he was acquired from Baltimore in an 18-man swap during the winter. Larsen was shunted to the Denver farm in midseason of 1955. He closed •with a rush after his recall but lost his lone series start at Brooklyn. Larsen changed his style mid way in the 1956 season, shifting to a no-windup delivery that paid off with four September victories. In the second game of the current series he was yanked by Manager Casey Stengel in the second inn ing although he led 6-1 with the bases full and two out. The Yanks eventually lost that game 13-8. The big fellow was hot from the very start, striking out Junior Gilliam and Reese, the first two men he faced. He had four of his strike outs at the end of three innings, mixing his breaking stuff with an occasional fast ball. As Larsen came down the stretch, passing Herb Pennock's 1927 record of retiring 22 men in succession, the stands be came alive.

Walker last night pressed for more junior col leges and community colleges as the only means for the state 'and nation to meet growing educa tional needs.
