Burdette Defeats

' Only Game

The Associated Prim
; Nobody's won the ponnanl yet
In' that hectic National League
race, but a. of today the pressure
definitely is on Brooklyn and Cin
cinnati while the first-place Mil
waukee Braves, loaded with the
best pitching in the league, play
It cool behind Burdette, Spahn and
Buhl.- .
Those three top the NL's earned
run averages. Lew Burdette has
managed to knock off Cincinnati's
contending Rcdlegs four times
without defeat; Bob Buhl has beat
end Brooklyn's world champion
Dodgers six times without a loss.
. Spahn Back In Relief.
Warren Spahn and Burdette
combined to salvage an important
split In the four-game series at
Cincinnati. Spahn quieted the am
bitious Hedlcgs . Sunday, . then
came back in relief to get the final
out as Burdelte beat them 3-1 on
a five-hitter last night.
The Braves lack the Redlcgs'
power, but they again made their
blows pay off in the series finale,
riding in on home runs by Ed
Mathews and Joe Adcock al
though held to just four hits by
Brooks Lawrence. '
ft was the only game scheduled
in either league and hoisted the
Braves into a 2',4-game lead as
tney return to Milwaukee for a
home stand. Brooklyn, slated to
play five games against the Red
legs and Braves in five straight
days this weekend, has a ' one
game bulge over the third-place
Cincys at the moment.
Mathews' 28th home run fol
lowed a two-out second-Inning tri
ple by Hank Aaron that broke
through Lawrence's hitless spell.
Then Adcock hammered his 30th
.homer with two out in the sixth
for the 'Braves" third hit off the
18-7 right-hander,' who now . has
lost five of his last six decisions,
Burdette was rolling ; along; on
a three-hit shutout-for eieht in-
nlngs.i Tben; rookie Frank- Robin
son .walloped, his 80th homer to
lead off the ninth. A walk fol
lowed, but Ted Klusiewskl hit Inin

Very Possible

on the financial enthusiasm of college-athletic
booster groups are
proposed' by the Athletic Council,

National Collegiate Athletic Assn.
meeting here. ...
Fireworks were expected Tues
day in a report of the council's
infractions committee, fact-finding
agency for the NCAA's enforce
ment program. '
This committee was - expected
to report- and make recommenda
tions on violations of the athletic
code by some of the' NCAA's 486
member schools, among them sev
eral in the strife-ridden Pacific
ComI Conference.
The H-member Athletic Council
recommended Monday that boost
er clubs be required to register
with the college or university
whose team they suuDort. The
school then would be responsible
for conduct of the group, nnd for
an accurate record of its expenses.
This was viewed as a firm rein
en such clubs In recruiting and
giving financial aid to promisng
athletes.
Clarence P. Houston of Tufts
University, council president, said
the proposal will go to the NCAA's
run convention in St. Louis Jan
HI.
Two other rules relating to the
courting of high school athletes
by college representatives were
adopted by the committee. These
also will be submitted to the
NCAA convention.
One would require that a school
representative obtain permission
from the high school principal be
fore contacting a prep athlete en
rolled at that school.
The second would allow a hieh
school athlete sought by a college
or university only one visit to that
school's campus before making his
selection, . .
SAN FRANCISCO HI - Big

average of .303 and 47 home runs,
reported Statistician William J.

But the statistics also nolnted
up that Gene Mauch of Los An
geles is hitting at a hefty .354
cup, Luts Marquez of Portland,
.343, and Bbb Usher of San Diego
at 1342. .,j
.Veteran Dick Sislcr. of San Di

Bell Steps Into LA Rams Dispute to Avert Walkot of Players
LOS ANGELES W The inter
vention of National Football
League Commissioner Bert Bell
has helped avert a nossible Los
Angeles player boycott of Friday's
exhibition game here between the
Los Angeles Hams and the Cleve
land Browns.
Ram players had demanded $75
a week for veterans and $50 week
ly for rookies during the exhibition
season, whereas the Los Angeles
club never has paid salaries until
after the first league game.
Ram player representatives told
General Manager Tex Schramm
Ihey didn't intend to play exhibi
tion games unless they were paid
for them. The Rams, who won
their division title, test year, open
their NFL season Sept. 30.
Bell called the Rams' player
representatives at their Redlands
camp and asked them to delay any
reprisal in connection with their
money demands, saying he would
speak with club owners.
In their original demand Satur
day. Ram players specified that
exhibition salaries would have to
start at once or they would not
play in the game against Cleve
land. Early Tuesday morning
Schramm issued a slatement say
ing: "I have discussed the prob
lem with tie players and we have
agreed that we will re-discuss It
at the close of the season. Both
the club and the players realize
that the thing in which we ara
most interested at the present
time is fielding a champicW-p
team, and all our combined ef
forts will be toward that end.'-
