BUMS VOW TO 'TAKE
"CARE OF WHITE SOX'
CHICAGO (UPI) The Dodgers finally took care of the
Braves and their Dromise today was "Now we'll take care of
the White Sox."
" They planed in here today after having defeated Milwau
kee, 6-5, in 12 Innings at Ios Angeles to win the. National
JLeague pennant and their first playoff In three tries.
" Manager Walt Alston, who said, "I thought we'd win it
an tne time," had his World Ser
ies' pitching plans all map-ied out.
"I don't know what the other
guy is going to do, but I'm going
with my big guys. That means
Roger Craig in the first game
Thursday.
' "After that it will be Larry
Sherry, Johnny Podres and Don
Drysdale. They will do the job."
' The Dodgers did it the hard
way in smashing the Braves, in
a four hour and six minute mara
thon at the sunswept then shad
owed Los Angeles Coliseum Tues
day to climax the greatest come
back in baseball history.
'" For no other National League
team ever before had fought Its
way back from seventh place to
the flag in one brief season's
Jump. And it was a battle, be
cause as late as the last half of
tlie ninth inning the Dodgers
beaten : twice before' in playoffs
for the flag again faced fail
ure ii . A Wild Finish
But, after 155 games and nine
innings they had squared it up
with one of those wild and won
derful finishes which were their
trademark back in the old days
in Brooklyn. And after 12 innings
which ended a 156-ganie cam
paign in ear - jarring jubilation,
they had earned the right to face
the rested White Sox in the best-of-teven
classic opening Thursday
at Chicago.
It was in the final analysis
a gift as well as a hard-won
prite. .'.
For there were two out and two
on in the 12th inning when Carl
Furillo' crashed an infield single
just wide of second base. Felix
Mantilla had no play' on what
should have been a bases-filling
single still leaving reliever Bob
Kush and the Bravea alive.
But the slender Puerto Iiican
took a daring gamble and fired
to first fired it into the dirt and
past straining Frank Torre as Gil
Hodges trundled all the way home
from second with the run which
completed the . Dodger odyssey
and sent them winging off to Chi
cago for the Series.
There it will be another knock
down brawl against an American
League champion which has had
time to rest its staff and will
send 22-game winner Early Wynn
against them in the opener.
Craig To The Mound
For ' the Dodgers it will be
Craig, the 28-year-old fastball
pitcher who has an 11-5 record
this season and who sat in the
bull pen idly Tuesday as five
Dodger pitchers trudged to the
mound before 23-year-old Stan
Williams won it with three innings
of shutout relief pitching.
Lew Burdette, the loose and
easy man from the mountains of
West Virginia, almost squared it
up against the Dodgers in that
second game' Tuesday almost
made it necessary for Craig to go
out and face Milwaukee in an end
of the road third game today.

But Burdette, staggered often
yet never quite put down, finally
took the count in a dramatic ninth
inning which turned the tide and
set up the heroics ; and collapse
in the 12th. .
Wally .Moon, Duka $nider and
Hodges chased him yith three
straight singles which filled the
bases. Don Mc.Mahon came on in
an attempt to stem the tide but
Norm Larker singled off the
screen in left to send Moon and
pinch runner Bob Lillis racing
home and Hodges to third. The
Braves came next with Warren
Spahn. their great lefthander, and
Furillo flied deep to right, Hodges
scoring after the catch with the
tying run.
Sudden Death
Now is was sudden death and
the crowd of 36,528 groaned into
the lengthening shadows as the
Braves filled the bases with two
out in the 11th. Williams got them
out, though, and the groans
changed to cheers as the Dodgers
filled 'em up in their half and
then couldn't pull it off.
Then it was the' 12th and after
the Braves went down in order,
so, too, dkl the first pair of Dodg
ers.' ' -
Now it was Hodges and he drew
a walk. Pignatnno stepped in next
and singled to left, Hodges going
to second.
That put Furillo. one of the old
Flatbush heroes, in the box and
he rapped that hit on which Man
tilla took the greatest losing gam
ble of the season.

OBSERVER
Neil Andersan
Baltimore, the defending league
champion, started its defense of
the crown last Sunday, with a 21-9
victory over Detroit. The Bears,
considered Baltimore's toughest
Western Division rival, were up
set by the Packers in their first
start, 9-d.
Now the Bears face a make-or-break
game against the cham
pions and must play it at Balti
more, where the Coits have won
their last nine starts.
Cleveland, generally favored to
retain the Eastern Division title
from New York, is in the same
leaky boat with the Bears. The
Browns dropped their opener to
the Steelers. 17-7, and face a Chi
cago Cardinal team that crushed
the Redskins. 49-21.
The Rams' big worry is that
Billy Wade, their No. 1 quarter
back, may not be in top condi
tion for their game at San Fran
cisco. Wade suffered a leg injury
in the club's 23-31 loss to New
York last Saturday night.
Pittsburgh faces a Washington
team that took a tongue-lashing
from its coach, Mike Nixon, after
it was overwhelmed by the Car
dinals. THEM'S NOTHINO LIKE A NEW
