By JOHN GRIFFIN
United Presg Sport Writer
Youth may be served some
day but it will have to stand
aside tonight while the Brook
r lyn Dodgers and Milwaukee
Braves put their hot pennant
race in the hands of "old folks"
pitcers Sal Maglie, 39, and War
ren Spahn, 35.
Now that the Dodgers are lead
ing by one full game as a result
of Milwaukee's pressure-packed
2-1, 10-inning loss to Pittsburgh
Thursday both clubs know the
flag could be riding on each
pitch.
The plain fact was that this
defeat has put the Braves in a
' tough spot, even though Mana
ger Fred Haney rightly insisted
that his club has only "a bad
: cough" and isn't dead yet by a
long shot. If the Braves win
now, it will have to be uphill
the hard way.
That's because the Dodgers'
lead is all in the vital "lost" col
umn. Each team has won 88, but
- Brooklyn has lost only 57 to
Milwaukee's 59.
The Challenge for Braves
The Dodgers have nine left,
the Braves seven, and this "if
table shows what the Braves
' must do from here out in order
to tie for the pennant:
If Dodgers Braves Must
Win Win
9 of 9 Dodgers clinch
8 of 9-...... Dodgers clinch
7 of 9 7 of 7
6 of 9 6 of 7
9 of 9 5 of 7
It all adds up to the Braves
must win 'em all, or pretty near
all, unless Brooklyn suffers a
major collapse.
On the brighter side for Brave
fans: Pirate Manager Bobby
Bragan promises to win three
of seven games against Brook
lyn. If he makes good, the Dodg
ers could wind up with four or
five losses since they'll face
Robin Roberts and Curt Sim
mons of the Phils in the only
other two games.
Maglie carries two streaks
into tonight's game: six straight
wins this year and six straight
vs. the Pirates, the team against
whom he has the best personal
record of his career 21-4. He will
be opposed by right hander Ron
ie Kline, who is 0-3 against
Brooklyn this year.
Spahn the Stopper
Spahn halted the Braves'
three-game losing streak last
Monday by beating the Giants
and again he's called on to put
the Braves back on the winning
trail. He'll face young Don Kai
ser, 1-1 vs. the Braves this year.
The Pirates won Thursday's
game twice for Bob Friend, who
went the route with a four-hitter
for his 16th victory. Jack
Shepard's seventh-inning homer
gave him a 1-0 lead. Milwaukee
tied the score with two out in
the ninth when Chuck Tanner
scored from third as Pirate first
baseman Dale Long muffed
Dick Groat's throw on Hank
Aaron's grounder and then
threw wildly for another error.
Friend choked off a Braves'
two-on, one-out threat in the
top of the 10th and Pittsburgh
got its winning run in the last
half when Bill Mazeroski sin
gled with one out, took second
on Friend's sacrifice, and scored
on Bob Clemente's single to
center a low liner Bill Bruton
reached but couldn't hold.
Ray Crone, who pitched the
10th "in relief of Bob Buhl, suf
fered the defeat.

Auto Race Drivers Await
Valley View Track Final
One hundred laps of racing at
the Valley View speedway will
ring down the curtain on the
1956 hardtop and stock car sea
son. Drivers will be on hand
from all parts of the area to try
for a chunk of the big money at
the finish line. Saturday night
figures to be a red hot windup
to a season full of thrills and
spills.
The championship race is over
and now it is strictly for the
payoff the boys will drive for to
morrow night. At least $120 will
be there for the main event and
a lot of the drivers have ideas
about how to spend it. Forty
laps and a bucket of bucks will
go to the winner.
Out of town drivers from Cal
ifornia and from the north have
signified their intention of be
ing on hand for this final race
meeting of this season. Cars
from Yreka, Redding, Crescent
City, Roseburg, Klamath Falls
and maybe Gold Beach are ex
pected to give the local boys a
real run.
Lots of labor has been used at
the speedway this week to put
the track in top shape for the
grand finale. Not only the track
will be in top shape but mechan
ics have been busy tuning
their charges and it is antici
pated that it will be the fastest
field of hardtops and stock cars
this year.
Time trials are at 6:30 p.m..
first event at 8 p.m.
