Braves Slaughter Yankees oGrab Commandin

’ By JACK HAND

MILWAUKEE (APl—Lew Bur- dette Thursday won his fourth straight world series game, hit- ting a three-run homer during a record sevenrun firstd-nning Mil- waukee spree as the Braves made it two in a row in a 13-5 romp over New York Yankees.

The hero of last year’s series saw his 24-inn-ing scoreless streak snapped in a jittery first inning. But 42 minutes later, when the Braves finally were re ired in their first time at bat, h didn't have a care in the world. The Braves wound up with 15 hits and the Yankees had only seven.

SPORTS FRONT

By PIUS CALLAGIIAN .NEw YORK YANKEES certainly didn‘t like the surround-

the way they did on Wednesday and Thursday they won’t see County Stadium any more this season because the Braves will have the, series wrappedup right in front of the Yankees home fans. There’ll be no need of a return visit to the home of the Braves.

YESTERDAY THE world champions played just like reg! champions. Sure it was a great game to win, but certainly n a tough one to lose. Wednesday’s tussle could have gone either way but Thursday’s was over a few minutes after it started.

The Braves gave Bob‘ Turley the roughest treatment he

stopped exploding until Braves had their final out. They banged out 15 base knocks. five more than on opening day when Warren Spahn held the Yankees to eight. I

IT WAS STRICTLY .vno con-test after the Braves drafted in the first when they sent ten men to the plate and seVen came scamper' g across home plate. That was the ball game right then and there. From then on it was strictly a case of how the individuals would!" do. And fellows like ‘Burdette, Bruton and Covington surely covered themselves with glory. :

Burdette won' his fourth straight world series game over the «Yankees and until he weakened in the ninth, he was 3» terrific hurler. Up until the ninth he held those New Yorkers to three hits and had retired 15 men in a row until Hank Bauer opened the Yanks’ final frame ‘with his second home run of the series. MacDougald followed with a single, Mantle got his sec- ond homer of the afternoon and Siebern sihgled. Then Lew took over once again and got the next three to end the ball game. , , '

EVEN THE MOST ARDENT Yankee fan couldn’t“ start mak- lng excuses for what happened yesterday. There w only two reasons—the Braves’ bats were too powerful and dette was too great a pitcher. It might not happen again but it did yester- day and the Yankees were hopelessly outclassed. I

BUT THE RECORDS show the Braves with two victories in‘ two s and the Haney crew get no more for Thunsday’s af-

the chips are on the line and the Stengel-managed ,ew have no time left in which they can afford to lose ball games. Only victories are what'they can afford to get from here on and if these victories don’t start at once this 1958 series could be over in‘an awful hurry. ' , .

YANKEE FANS, however are hard to down. They tell you about 1956 when Brooklyn won the first two games at Ebbet’s Field, yet lost the series to time, very Yanks. They certainly have a point there, because Brooklyn clobbered the Bombers in that second game much the same as they were slaughtered yes- tenday. They still insist that back home Saturday in Yankee Stadium,‘Don Larsen will start the Bombers on the victory trail. Yankees will likely see Bob Rush on the Milwaukee mound and they’re hoping some of the tough luck Bob had while withthe

THESE YANKEE FANS saw some joy in that crushing de- feat on Thursday. They finally saw their boys get rough in the ninth even though the game was lost. It brought back memories of 1942 when the Cardinals, trailing 7-0 in the ninth in the first game, finally got to Red Buffing for four runs. They lost that ball game but they roared back and won .the next four over the New Yorkers.

If the Yankees could click off four in a ‘row, we would still be alright on our prediction. But right now, our good friend of fthe Evening Patriot's Sport Views and Reviews, is away out in root.

Remember he called it for the Braves in five. v 1

WELL JACK READY arid Bill Ledlwell started something Wednesday when they staged that Queen Charlotte-Bircth track and field meet at Memorial Field. ,

It was a decided success and to the Queen (lliarlg‘itte athletes who won all the top awards heartiest congratulations from this corner. To the boys and girls from Birchwood a word of coma mendation is certainly.dcserving. This is the first year that the school is in operation but the way the pupils backed up their school would leave one to believe that Birchwood was in ex- istence for a long time. They didn't win yesterday but these competitions should go on for many years to come; Bill and ‘Slpy’ have made the start and that should be the hardest task of 3 ~ \

WE REMINDED our readers a short time ago about the tre- mendous rivalry in track and field between Queen Square and West Kent some thirty years ago. It was really something and It indeed was a great pity that it ever went out of existence. Many folks at Wednesday’s meet were recalling those great riv- alries and were hoping that something comparable could be worked up between Queen Charlotte and Birchwood. That seem- ed like a distinct possibility judging by the great crowd of youngsters (we're not talking about competitorSJ that were on hand despite the adverse weather of Wednesday. If that kind of enthusiasm can be worked up in a few weeks, then there are high hopes of a great revival in track and field between Char- lottetown‘s two newest schools.

EVERYTHING WAS run off most efficiently and both Led- well and Ready are indeed deserving of praise for the effort they expended. We know that both of these gentlemen felt pretty good about the way things went. ‘Spy’ especially was delighted be- cause his Queen Charlotte changes made off with top honors. Bill naturally would have liked to see his Birchw‘ood boys and girls come out on top but nevertheless he was mighty pleased

man Ed Mathews,‘ catching throw from outfield, can swing around and tag him. He didn’t make it

the ninth, a single by Gil Ic- Dougald and Mantle’s 11th series homer over the left field fence broughtaction in the Milwaukee bullpen. Mantle’s homer, incidem tally, put him in second place for series homers behind Babe-Ruth’s total of 15.

After Norm Siebern also sin-

retired the last three batters to make it safely home with this most—important victory.

SETS SERIES MARK

Burdette, the three-time win- ner in last year’s Milwaukee tri- umph, was the first pitcher to win four in a row from the same club since Lefty Gomez of the Yanks turned the trick against New York Giants in 1936-37 with the help of Johnny Murphy in one game. Others who have won four or more have done the job against different teams.

The Braves routed Turley’ be- fore he could retire more than one man. Billy Bruton’s leadtoff homer on a 3—2 pitch set the pace. Line drives were being drilled to all corners. It looked like batting practice.

When the final totals were in it was‘ discovered the Yankees had taken their worst beating in many a moon. The Dodgers thumped them 13-8 in 1956 when the Yanks lost the first two and bounced back to win The 1921 Giants also bombed them 13-5 in 1921. Those same Giants were the only ‘club ever to sweep a Series from the Yanks in 1922 although it was marred by a tie game. BIGGEST SPLURGE

That sevenurun inning {was the biggest first-inning splurge in se- ries history. Everyone of the five

tering. Johnny Ku-cks and 42- yearold Murry Dickson escaped with the least damage but they, too, were groggy when they left

At the start the crowd of 46,367 got a scare when Burdette was struggling in a deep hole with the bases loaded and nobody out in the first. inning. A single by Bauer, who now has hit safely in 16 series games, a wild throw by Eddie Mathews and an intentional pass to Mantle had loaded them up. When Elston Howard forced Mantle at second, Bauer came home with the run that broke Dow’s shutout streak. /

Bauer had been the last Yankee to scone against Burdette in the third inning of last year‘s second game. He followed with six shut- out innings andthen blanked New York 1—0 and 5-0.

YOGI ENDS STRING

Yogi Berra got Burdette off the hook by bouncing into a double play that ended the first inning.

Then the Braves went to work.

Bruton, whose 10th inning sin- gle won the opener 473, lashed a 37-5-foot homer into the right field bleachers. Red Schdendienst bounced a double past auer to the right field fence.

Turley managed to blow a third strike past Eddie, Mathews. That was the first and last man he was to retire. Hank Aaron worked him for a walk, watching slow- bneaking stuff miss the plate. and West Covington singled to centre, driving home Schoendien-st.

Out of the dugout came man— ager Casey Stengel. He waved to the bullpen where Maia-s had been warming up. The Duke got Frank Torre on a fly to left but walked Del Grand-all on a 3-2 pitch, load- ing the bases. Then Johnny Lo- gan singled sharply to left, knock- ing in both Aaron and Clovington fora 4-1 lead.

for a‘look at the stuflf'Maas was thro log. file waited for one pitch, a strike, and then swung. The ball sailed over the leftfield bar- rier at about the 355~foot mark. All of a sudden it was 7-1.

The statisticians, digging deep into the record books, discovered it wa~ the first homer by a pitcher since Bucky Walters of Cincinnati in 1940, and the fifth in all series competition. How- ever, B-urdette had hit three in the regular season and Mraas should have known better. >

Another search of the records revealed the first inning topped the‘previous record of six by ‘ 1912 Giants against Boston. f course, the high for any inning still is the 10 scored by Phila- delphia Athletics against Chicago Cubs in 1929, the day Hack Wili son lost the fly ball in the sun.

All was quiet in the Braves’ camp until the seventh when they suddenly realized that an "old man Dickson, was doing the chucking. Singles by Aaron, Covington and Torre and a sac- rifice fly to Crandall added two more runs.

They teed off on lack Monroe in the eighth. A walk to Bruton who had three hits, Schoend-ienst's second double, singles by Math- ews and Aaron and a sacrifice fly by Andy Pafko were good for the Braves‘ final three runs.

Howard bumped his left knee trying to grab Burdette’s home run in the first inning. After a trip to the dugout for repairs, it was decided to replace him with Norm Siebern.

There will be an open date. Bot-h clubs flew to New York im- mediately after the game. The se- ries will be renewed Saturday at Yanks; Stadium. 1

Don Larsen, the perfect game pitcher of the 1956 series, will pitch for the Yanks in the third game. Handicapped by a sore right elbow, Larsen returned to duty in late September. The 29- year - old fighthander finished with a 9—6 season record. HANEY MUM ON CHOICE

Manager Fred Haney said he would not announce his third game pitcher until after today‘s workout. The best guess was Cani- ton Willey, a 27-year—old rookie who compiled a 9-7 record after his recall from Wichita in mid— may. Veteran Bob Rush (106) also was a possibility. '

The Yanks hoped to duplicate their 1956 comeback when they lost the first two to the Dodgers at Brooklyn and finally pulled it out in a seven-game series. But they 'are a long shot now With both Whitey Ford and Turley beaten.

Bruton now has four hits in six trips for a .667 series batting rec- ord. Covington, hitless Wednes- day. canoe back with three sin— gles against righthanded pitching. For the Yankees, Bauer now has four for nine, including two hom- ers.

Aaron, who now has hit safely in all nine series games in which he has played, added two singles to Wednesday’s double.

Casey Stengel summed it up this way:

“They hit the ball very good but we didn’t hit at the start, just at the end. It wasn't a very good

Burdette, who fancies himself quite a hitter, strolled to the plate

game for us. It didn't look like we could hold 'em.”

If the Braves had a secondary hero it was Billy Bruton, who won Wednesday's game with his 10th- inning single.
