PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor New York Of) Southpaw Whitey Ford was nominated to day by Manager Casey Stengel to pitch the opening . World Series game for the New York Yankees Wednesday at Yankee Stadium. Lefthander Warren Spahn will start for the Milwau kee Braves. Stengel named Ford during a Yankee workout this .morning. Milwaukee Manager Fred Haney designated Spahn as his starting choice two days ago. "As long as he (Haney) is naming his guy,"' Stangel said, "I'll name mine. Everybody's been guessing Ford and that's who it will be." Ford, hampered by arm trouble a good portion of the season, has a 11-5 record while Spahn was Milwaukee's ace with 21 victories. Stengel said he still wasn't sure whether Bill Skowron would be ready for the opener but he indicated that Mickey Mantle would play. Then, in his characteristic off hand manner, the Yankee mana ger pointed out that Hank Bauer would open in right field, Gil McDougald at shortstop, Andy Carey at third base and Yogi Berra behind the plate. He said he was still thinking about some of the other positions. Stengel had called the morn ing workout in the hope that it would determine whether his in jured stars, Mantle arid Skow ron, would be able to play. Just what he would do if they couldn't play, he didn't reveal. But the chances are he would put his prize rookie, Tony Ku bek, in center to replace Mantle and shift Elston Howard, a base ball jack of all trades, to first for Skowron. Mantle, whose bid to retain batting's Triple Crown, was foiled by shin splints in his left leg, sat out the last three games of the season while Skowron, a heavy-hitting right hander, has been on the sidelines for nearly a month with a painful back in jury. Manila's Leg Better The chances appeared to be that Mantle would play for he reported his leg "feeling better." But it didn't look like Skow ron would make it. Stengel had hoped to get all the right-handed hitting power possible in his lineup to face the Braves' open ing game pitcher, the gifted left hander, Warren Spahn. Spahn, a 21-ga'ne winner, is expected to oppose Whitey Ford, a Yankee cripple for most of the season, who finished strong with a total of 11 victories. While the Yankees were working out, the Braves were being feted in a civic ceremony and parade in Milwaukee. The Braves were scheduled to leave Milwaukee by plane at 2 p.m. (EST) and arrive in New York some three hours later. Manager Fred Haney, an nouncing definitely that Spahn would be his first game starter, scheduled a workout for Yan kee Stadium Tuesday afternoon. "I want my players at the stadium on Tuesday to practice during the same time the games there will be played," he ex plained at Milwaukee. "Then they can establish the patterns of the sun and shade during the afternoon." Field Troubles Visitors Center and left field especially have given visiting players trouble at the stadium. Haney refused to go beyond his pitching plans other than Portland Beaver Directors Resign Portland (IP) Three mem bers of the board of directors of the Portland Beavers baseball club resigned Sunday, ending a fight for control of the organi zation. In making the announcement, board members Clay Brown, Ted Gamble and Cal Souther said they were releasing share holders from proxies, but that they would retain their stock in the Beavers. G. A. (Arch) Kingsley, club president, had issued a call for proxies Saturday. Bragan Will Manage Cleveland Indians By PAT CARRICO Cleveland IW Pepper-pot Bobby Bragan, who was dropped as manager of the Pittsburgh Pi rates in mid-season, bounced back into the major leagues to day as the new manager of the Cleveland Indians. The fiery Bragan succeeded a bitterly disappointed Kerby Far rell, whose release was an nounced last night at the end of a season that saw the highly rated Indians finish in sixth place, 211 games behind the Yankees. "We feel that a change of MedfordTribune IPflDUnrS 'Old Men' To Swatting Crowns By UNITED PRESS That "youth will be served" stuff was temporarily shelved in the leagues on the final day of the 1957 baseball season as 39-year-old Ted Williams and 36-year-old Stan Musial officially wrapped up the batting cham pionships. Williams finished with a .388 batting average to .365 for American league runner-up Mickey Mantle of the Yankees. Musial was an easy National league winner with .351 to .333 for Willie Mays of the Giants. The major league home run crown went to hammerin' Hank Aaron of the Milwaukee Braves as Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs, who had 43, batted five hits during an 8-3 victory over the Cardinals but couldn't get that one last homer. Aaron also took the big league runs-batted-in title with 132. Roy Sievers of the Washing em Betsy Rawls Reno Winner Reno, Nev. (W Betsy Rawls had the title but only a share of the prize money today as a result of a mixed-up, rain drenched finale to the Reno Women's Open golf tournament. Miss Rawls, the Spartanburg, S.C., Phi Beta Kappa, birdied the first hole of a sudden death play-off Sunday to nip Miss Berg. Both ended the regula tion 36 holes with 143. Miss Rawls, four strokes be hind the St. Andrews, 111., vet eran going into the final round, whipped around the Washoe County course in 72. Miss Berg, apparently bothered by the gusty winds and the rain which began to fall when she was on the back nine, carded a 76. Marlene Bauer Hagge shot the best golf of the day with a 71 to take third place. With her 75 of Saturday she finished with a 146. Spahn. It was expected, how ever, that he would start either Lew Burdette (17-9) or Bob Buhl (18-7) in the second game at the stadium on Thursday. Stengel, who has not even an nounced definitely that Ford will be his opening-game pitcher, was expected to go with an other southpaw, Bobby Shantz, (11-5) in the second game. For the third game in Mil waukee on Saturday Friday will be kept open for travel Stengel was expected to go with either Bullet Bob Turley (13-6) or Don Larsen (10-4), who made history last year when he pitch ed the first perfect game in Series annals. For the Braves in Saturday's game it will be either Burdette or Buhl, de pending on which one does not start on Thursday. managers will serve the best in terests of the team," said Gen eral Manager Hank Greenberg in announcing the switch. Bragan, former major league catcher who managed the Pi rates to a brilliant start in 1956 but a poor start this year, was not present at the meeting that made known his appointment. He was in Cuba, where he is managing Almandares of the Cuban Winter League, but Greenberg said Bobby would ar rive in New York early Tues day to attend the World Series and meetings with the Cleveland staff. Monday, September 30, 1957 Claimants ton Senators became the first member of an eighth-place team ever to win three American league championships. Sievers won the home run crown with 42, the runs-batted-in crown with 114, and the total bases title with 331. Jim Bunning of the Detroit Tigers got credit in relief for a 7-4 victory over Kansas City to Join the 20-game winners' club at the last minute with a 20-8 record. The only other pitchers to make it this year were . War ren Spahn of the Braves with 21 and Billy Pierce of the White Sox with 20. But the top won-lost percent age crowns went to non-members of the elite circle. Bob Buhl of the Braves was best in the National league with 18 wins and seven losses for .720 and Dick Donovan of the White Sox and Tom Sturdivant tied for A.L. honors at 16-6 for .727. Ted Will Be Back in 1958 Boston (IP) American league batting champion Ted Williams has announced that he'll be back for the 1958 season but the Bos ton Red Sox admitted today they need more than that to be a pennant contender in 1958. The Red Sox actually this sea son proved that they need more than their slugging start next year if they are going to be any where near the top of the AL heap. For while Williams won his fifth batting title with a .388 average, the Red Sox never really were considered pennant contenders, though their third place finish was a notch higher than in 1956. "If I'm feeling as good as I did this year," predicted Wil liams, "I'll do as well or bet ter than I did this season." That meant 87 RBI's and 38 homers as a '58 challenge to go along with the more amazing possibility of winning a sixth batting title at the age of 40 plus. By taking this year's crown from Mickey Mantle, Williams became the oldest player ever to win the title in either league since the 37-yar-old Honeus Wag ner turned the trick for Pitts burg of the National League in 1911 with .344. It also was the highest average in the majors since Williams' own .406 in 1941. Bears Grab Minor Title Buffalo, N.Y. (IP) The devastating Denver Bears set an example for their New York Yankee parents by reigning as Little World Series champions today with an impressive display of power, pitching, and poise. Manager Ralph Houk's wreck ing crew completed its dis mantling of the Buffalo Bisons Sunday, thrashing four Bison pitchers for 14 hits in an 8-1 victory to complete a four-game-lo-one triumph. The Bears hammered Buffalo pitching for 48 runs in the five games with only Glenn Cox, who muffled them for a 2-1 triumph Saturday, escaping un scatched. Fourth Straight Denver's series triumph was the fourth straight for an Amer ican association representative over an International league playoff titlist. While the Bears celebrated in the visiting dressing room at Offerman Stadium, there was speculation as to whom among their number will be wearing Yankee uniforms come next spring. The most frequently named were catcher John Blanchard and pitcher Ryn Duren. . The word, going around on Blanchard, a power hitter who bats left is that he'll move in behind Yogi Berra with the Yankees as he is rated a superior receiver to Elston Howard and a better hitter than Darrell Johnson. HARTACK VS. ARCARO New York (IP)' Willie Har tack is closing ground rapidly on Eddie Arcaro's single-season record of 40 stake winners. Har tack accounted 'for his 36th stakes triumph of the campaign Saturday when he booted Dedi cate to an upset verdict over favored Gallant Man in the $106,100 Woodward Stakes.

(Upsets Mark Start Of Pro (Grid Season By EARL WRIGHT United Press Sporls Writer Lou Groza, an insurance sales man who makes a policy of pay ing off on close shaves, booted the Cleveland Browns to a 6-3 triumph over the champion New York Giants Sunday as the Na tional Football league opened what promises to be an "upset ting" but profitable season. Groza's 47-yard field goal with 21 seconds to go set the pat tern for the beginning of the 38th NFL campaign as the un derdogs won four of the six games. The games drew 260,137 fans, 45,381 more than last year's openers when the league went on to draw a record 2,551, 263 paid admissions. It was the same story at Green Bay as the Packers, led by Babe Parilli's passing and newly developed defensive skill, surprise the Chicago Bears, 21-17. Steelers Win The Pittsburgh Steelers upset the Washington Redskins, 28-7; the Chicago Cardinals surprised the San Francisco Forty-Niners, 20-10; the Los Angeles Rams were favored by HVi points but had to sweat to edge the Phila delphia Eagles, 17-13; and the Baltimore Colts crushed the De troit Lions, 34-14, in the day's best offensive show. The Steelers were one-point underdogs but won with a good defense and the passing of their new quarterback, Earl Morrall. Morrall, obtained by Parker from the Forty-Niners in one of the many deals he has engi neered since moving to Pitts burgh, threw two touchdown passes to Jug Girard, one to Ray Mathews and master-minded the fourth Steeler touchdown by Dick Young. Cards Control Forty-Nineri Lamar McHan's passing and Ollie Matson's running enabled the Cardinals to control the ball at San Francisco. Paige Cothren's 37-yard field goal provided the final margin at Los Angeles in the final min utes after Don Burroughs inter cepted a Bobby Thomason pass on the Philadelphia 24. Johnny Unitas threw two scor ing passes to L. G. Dupre and one each to Jim Mutscheller and Braves Get Big Sendoff By GREG FOSSELMAN Milwaukee (IP) This self styled "baseball capital of the world" gave the National league champion Milwaukee Braves a rousing sendoff today for New York and the 1957 World Series against the Yankees. Proving that their enthusiasm hadn't waned since the Braves clinched the pennant a week ago, 75,000 baseball-wild fans turned out Sunday night for a fire works display celebrating Mil waukee's first championship. Another huge crowd watched a civic ceremony and parade this morning and lined the route taken by an auto caravan that took the team to the airport early this afternoon. 45,000 at Final Sunday afternoon, 45,000 saw the league finale against the Cin cinnati Redlegs, boosting ' Mil waukee's league attendance rec ord to 2,215,404. Before heading east, Manager Fred' Haney named ace lefthand er Warren Spahn to pitch the first game against the Yankees Wednesday afternoon. In choosing the crafty 36-year-old veteran, the normally cautious Haney famed for his "play 'em one at a time" atti tude allowed himself enough optimism to say: "We're set for the Yanks. I think when it's all over our wonderful Jans will be proud of our team." Eagles Knot Henley 7-7 Klamath Falls Eagle Point and Henley High school football teams fought to a 7 to 7 tie Sat urday in a District 6 A-2 foot ball fracas. Henley knotted the game with a fourth quarter TD after the Eagles had crossed the goal in the second stanza. The Eagle counter resulted from a 45-yard drive. Gary Kai ser went the last six yards. Dave Huffman ran the extra point. The Hornets pushed 60 yards to score, rarry r"erguson went over from the two-yard line and Phil' Swisher kicked the bonus. Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Ray Berry as Baltimore, a one point pick, ruined George Wil son's debut as Detroit's head coach. Parilli's six-yard scoring pass to Gary Knafelc won for the Packers after the Bears gambled and failed to make a first down at midfield in the last period.

Sport Parade New York OP) The long baseball haul is over today for another season and the two big gest surprises have to be the two future Hall of Famers Ted Williams and Stan Musial what won the major league bat ting championships. Williams overcame a severe virus and the. young slasher named Mickey Mantle to win the American league title with a dazzling mark of .388 while "Stan the Man" left behind such challengers as Willie Mays and Hank Aaron to take the Nation al leogue batting crown with .351. But they weren't the only surprises: Some of the others included: "Bobby Shantz' comeback; the decline of Robin Roberts; the rookie feats of Jack Sanford of the Phillies, Bob (Hurricane) Hazle of the Braves and Dick Drott of the Cubs; Cincinnati's big skid; the surge of the St. Louis Cardinals; the failure of Don Newcombe of the Dodgers: the comeback of Billy Loes of the Orioles; the tailing off of Yogi Berra, and the hit produc tion of veteran Gene Woodling of the Indians. Shantz Amazing The Shantz story is one of the major surprises. In the spring he was regarded as mere ly a possible relief pitcher, after a 2-7 mark at Kansas City the year before. 1 But his 11-5 mark at 32 was amazing. Time ran out on the Cardin als, but they could have, been the Cinderella team. Still they have to rate here as the big surprise club of the year. Cin cinnati, on the other hand, was Davidson Faces Vic Seixas Today Berkeley, Calif. OR Swe den's Even Davidson faced Davis Cupper Vic Seixas of Philadel phia in the finals of the rain plagued Pacific Coast Tennis championships today and Althea Gibson of New York met Louise Brough of Beverly Hills in the women's final. Davidson downed Whitney Reed of Alameda Sunday, 6-1, 6-3,; 8-10, and 6-3, while Seixas' stamina and array of shots proved to be too much for Chile's Luis Ayala, Seixas took the four-set match, 6-1, 6-4, 5-7 and 6-4. Kurt Nielsen of Denmark and Bob Howe of Australia faced Davidson and Ayala today in the men's doubles final. Attention Due to extensive cattle operations on Mt. Baldy and to the North ... and East of Mt. Baldy Trespassing will not be allowed on the following properties: Ben Dawson C. H. Buffington Frank Stratton David Holmes Doug Plumley MAIN AT CENTRAL OSCAR FRALEY Sports WriUr United Prats the big flop. In the end it was the pitching which put the skids to the Redlegs. Sanford, the Phils' rookie, dis played evidence of future great ness as he won 19 games and Drott, who wasn't even on the Cub roster in the spring, gather ed 15 victories to attain star dom. Hazle was a mere .280 hit ter at Wichita when the Braves brought him up and he'll be one of their starters and a hard hitting one in the Series. Woodling at 35 pulled a feat which almost was in a class with the efforts of Williams and Mu sial. A mere .260 hitter last sea son, he finished this year at .322. Loes, too, made the great comeback. A pitcher who won only two games a year ago, he took 12 for the Orioles against only seven defeats. Bad Year For Yogi Berra's season was a back ward surprise. Yogi still ranks among the best as a catcher but he had, for him, a miserable year at the plate. Newcombe, too, knows again how Lady Luck can frown on her favor ites. The most valuable every thing last year when he won 27 games, big Don had an 11-12 season of mediocrity. But it was a surprisingly gloomy year for Roberts. He won 19 the year before, after six straight seasons in which he was a 20-game winner. But the hitters finally got even with Roberts as he suffered 22 de feats. A lot of surprises. But the big ones have to be Williams and Musial. Not their highest marks, it's true. But as Williams said when he was asked why he didn't hit .400 "Maybe I'm just a .380 hitter now."
