t SIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE hews ' By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor Milwaukee (IPi The Mil waukee Braves, riding the gid dy crest of Ed Mathews' "life saver homer" were even money today to take the series lead over a New York Yankee team whose hobbled slugger Mickey Mantle was a question mark. Thus, the whole series hung for some 12 hours over the ques tion of whether the Yankee su per star would be available for the final three games. The Yan kees failed to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers when Mantle was side lined during much of the 1955 series. That's how much respect the Braves earned Sunday when they bounced back for a 7-5 vic tory after it appeared the Yan kees were about to make the "kill". The familiar pattern of Yankee World Series victories seemed to be asserting itself when Elston Howard's three-run homer tied it in the ninth and Hank Bauer's lOth-inning triple put the world champions in front. But Mathews' homer quickly reversed it. So, even Whitey Ford. 3-1 vic tor over the Braves in the open er, was rated no better than "even money" today when he matches curves with Lew Bur dette, a 4-2 winner over the Yankees in the second game. The Yankees still are 7-5 to win the series. Tuesday Off Tuesday is an off-day for trav el and then the series shifts back to New York where the sixth and seventh games could be played on Wednesday and Thursday. Ford. 29, yielded only five hits in last Wednesday's opener and will be shooting for his sixth World Series victory only one less than the record shared by ex-Yankee greats Red Ruffing and Allie Reynolds. He had an 11-5 record during the American league season and is essentially a curveball pitcher that commands respect if not awe. Burdette pitched a seven-hitter in the second game and shut out the Yankees over the last six innings. He's a low curve ball pitcher frequently accused of throwing the outlawed "spit ter." He won 17 and lost nine during the National league sea son. Should the Braves go on to give Milwaukee a world cham pionship, Sunday's fourth game will be singled out as the turn ing point of the Series, ripped right back. Tommy Byrne gave them the opening when he Boyd Takes Auto Title Gardena, Calif. W) Johnny Boyd, Indianapolis 500 veteran from 'Fresno, Calif., today held the National Midget Auto rac ing title of the United States Automobile Club. Boyd won the title Saturday when he drove his London Of fenhauser to a new Gardena sta dium record of 25 minutes, 34 seconds' flat for the 100-lap championship.

Hlilwauke Life-Saver Home Run Evens e With MY Yanks hit pinch-hitter Nippy Jones and The Yankees weren't hitting 36-year-old Warren Spahn much but they looked sharp and alert as if they could smell the big payoff coming and they tied it at 4-4 with two out in the ninth when Howard delivered his Tony Kubek Epitomized Yank Mark Milwaukee (IPI Tony Kubek debuted as a major leaguer in his hometown Saturday as a kid who epitomizes Casey Stengel's New York Yankees as opposed to the Yankees of Babe Ruth tra dition. The current trademark of the Yankees is versatility. This is a team that has always been known as the team with the "big sock" Ruth, DiMaggio, Keller, Gehrig, Mantle, Berra and there's plenty of "sock" in the current squad. But Stengel has transformed the team in his nine years as manager and the change he has brought about is that the Yankees have a 25-man roster that is equivalent to a 33 or 35 man roster that another man ager wishes he had. The reason for this is that Stengel insists that his players must play more than one posi tion adequately. And Kubek is his boy because certainly no 20- year-old kid has ever before played five different positions for a pennant winner in his rookie season. Kubek has played all the in field positions except first and both left and center fields for the Yankees this year. He makes occasional errors at all positions but handles "them all in such a way that nobody seems to know which will be his best. Shoeshine Helps Braves Milwaukee (IP) A shoeshine helped the Braves get all even and may. yet mean a winning $10,000 World Series share for each Milwaukee player. The record books will always say the Braves polished off the Yankees 7-5, Sunday on Eddie Mathews homer. Milwaukee players generally agreed today the game-winning homer was set up by a careless shine ap plied to pinch -bitter Nippy Jones shoes. The Braves trailed, 5-4, when Jones batted for winning pitch er Warren Spahn to open the last of the 10th. Southpaw Tom my Burne, on the mound for the Yankees, delivered a pitch to Jones that plate umpire Augie Donatelli first called a ball. "That ball hit me," Jones said, pointing to his left foot. "I mean it. Take a look at the ball. Donatelli inspected the ball, found a black shoe polish mark on it and awarded Jones first base because there was the evi dence, all right, in black and white. Felix Mantilla ran for Jones and after moving up on a sacri fice, scored the tying run on Johnny Logan's double off Bob Grim, Matthews followed with the clincher. Casey Stengel Blows Fans Kiss Milwaukee (IP) Manager Casey Stengel of the New York Yankees got used to the catcalls years ago. It's a good thing he did. Milwaukee fans have given him a rough time since his Yankee, team reportedly snub bed a civic welcome for them here Friday. Every time Casey leaves the protection of the dug out, the jeers start, handkerchiefs wave a younger man's ears would burn. "Is this bush team too much for you," they ask. "Bush" is in cluded in most of the jeers be cause of a Yankee player's com ment that the celebration for them Friday was 'bush." But Casey takes the jeers in stride. Sunday, for example, in a critical spot, he changed pitch ers. The fans heaped abuse on him but as he walked back to the dugout, he blew them a kiss. Woman Calls Herself Braves' Luck Charm Milwaukee (IP) The Milwau kee Braves are a cinch to win the World Series. Why? Because Lillian (Lolly) Hopins is in the stands. The woman who calls herself "Milwaukee's good luck charm" was there Sunday when they beat the New York Yankees, 7-5. She had her box of tootsie rolls with her, which she throws to the players. "Lolly," who says she is 67, has been watching baseball games "at least 45 years" in her native Boston. "I was sad when the Braves left in '53 they were my favor ite team," she said. "Now I watch the Sox. That's only about 77 games a year." j Monday. October 7, 1357 homer after singles by Yogi Berra and Gil McDougald. The Milwaukee bubble ap peared to burst and the Braves seemed to be dead injuns when Kubek's single and Hank Bauer's triple gave the Yankees a 5-4 lead in the 10th. Braves Rip Back But the Braves who have to read those "choke-up" stories every time they lose a game the Braves suddenly were in business because the next two hitters were Red Schoendienst and Johnny Logan. Of all the Braves, these are the two most versatile players the sort that abound on the Yankee squad. Haney, of course, was bunting and Schoendienst laid it down like the book says it should be. Then came the scrappy little Logan and he showed 'em why he's know as a clutch player with a solid double into the left field corner that tied it up. ' Now the Yankees had their backs to the wall and Stengel Ed Mathews Sheds Collar (Editor's r.ote: Eddie Math ews squared the World Series for the Braves today when he smacked a two-run homer in the 10th inning to defeat the Yankees, 7-5. In the following dispatch, he gives his impres sions of the game.) By EDDIE MATHEWS As Told To The United Press Milwaukee (IP) I was be ginning to think I might be "collared" in this World Series but that ball I hit in the 10th inning today was a horse of a different color. Before today's game I was nothing-for-eight and after , I went out in my first time at bat against Tom Sturdivant in the first inning I was beginning to appreciate how Gil Hodges must have felt when he went hitless in the 1952 Series. That fourth inning double of mine broke the ice, though, and that 10th inning homer darn near put me in paradise. I've had a lot of good things happen to me in my lifetime, like signing with the Braves, hitting my first homer in the majors and being a part of Mil waukee's first pennant in history two weeks ago. But today's hom er is by far the high spot of my baseball career. Trying To Meet Ball Actually, with Bob Grim pitching out there for the Yan kees, I was only trying to meet the ball in the 10th. Grim re minds me a lot of Jack Sanford of the Phillies, only he throws more overhand and isn't quite as fast. Anyway, he came in with a fast ball after the count went to two balls and two strikes and I hit it a little bit on the end of the bat. That one's bye-bye I said to myself as soon as I hit it. On my way down the first base line, though, I started to have some doubts. A lot of things kept coming into my mind. Suppose the wind holds, the ball up? Look at that Hank Bauer. He's going like sixty and I'll bet he's going to grab it. But then I saw it go over the fence and I knew my troubles were over. Maybe that wallop jolted Grim somewhat but I'll clue you: He wasn't one-half as shook up as I was. We've still got to win two games and I think we will. And now that I got rid of the "col lar" I hope I keep it off. Milwaukee City Higher Than Kite Milwaukee (IP) Milwaukee was higher than a kite again Sunday night. For hours after Eddie Math ews hit the game winning hom er that gave Milwaukee a 7-5 victory over the Yankees, peo ple shouted and horns tooted in downtown Milwaukee. Everywhere you went, people were talking about the game. It was pennant-clinching night all over again. There was a frantic saarch for tickets and the prices vere high er than ever. We repair radiators and gas tanks. Also Paint cars with gleaming, glossy fin ish which we guarantee for as long as you keep the car. MITCHELL Paint & Radiator Shop 608 S. Riverside Ph. SP 2-2745 V N in Series had to play for defense all the way to stop the run. He moved Kubek to center, took out Mantle, and inserted 41-year-old Enos Slaughter in left field. Mathews didn't make a hit in the first three games, but he had rapped a solid double in the fourth inning and he put a 2-2 pitch into the right field bleach ers that turned County stadium and perhaps all Milwaukee into a bedlam of noise. It was the big hit of a big ball game and it could just be that it was the one that put the Braves on the glory road. BOX: New York AB R H O .

A Johnny Logan Claims Victory In Psychology Milwaukee HP) Battling Johnny Logan, a distinct under dog, explained with obvious rel ish today how he earned the de cision in a psychological bout with canny Casey Stengel. It happened in. the crucial 10th inning of Sunday's game, As Logan was about to step into the batter's box, Casey called time and took Mickey Mantle out of the game because of a sore shoulder. Stengel put Tony Kubek into Mantle's center field spot and Enos Slaughter in left field in place of Kubek. "Casey thought all that delay was going to make me anxious, Logan explained . . . but I made up my mind that it wouldn't bother me if I had to wait until doomsday." When Logan finally stepped into the batter's box, he took two balls before swining at a slider which he drove for a dou ble that scored Felix Mantilla with the tying run.

READY MX BEST SPORTS I : li Big 10 Fight Begins For Bowl Spot By GENE BLUDEAU United Press Sports Writer Chicago OP) The Big Ten's battle xfor the Rose Bowl berth begins in earnest this weekwith five conference games on tap after two weeks of non-conference practice. Minnesota and Michigan State were the early pacemakers, the Spartans because of a 54-0 open ing day win over Indiana and Minnesota by virtue of a 21-17 decision over rugged Purdue Saturday. This weekend Michigan State will face intra-state rival Michi gan at Ann Arbor in perhaps the best game in the nation, .while Minnesota will travel to North western to face virtually the same team which battled the Golden Gophers to a scoreless tie a year ago, possibly costing them 'a Rose Bowl chance. Spartans and Gophers Get Nod Michigan State and Minnesota probably will be favorites for the games, but either one could be upset. In the other conference clashes unbeaten Iowa, ineligible for the bowl because it won the title and played in the post-season classic last year, will be at In diana, Illinois travels to Ohio State, and Wisconsin appears at Purdue. Only Iowa was out of the bowl contention due to ineligibility. Wisconsin is unbeaten and plays its first league game. Ohio State and Illinois, each with one win and one loss, both are bowl eli gibles. The Michigan State-Michigan scrap will match two unbeaten teams, but while Minnesota has won both its starts, Northwest ern has lost both of its games to non-conference rivals. Meaty Part Of Season This Week By TIM MORIARTY United Press Sports Writer The preliminaries out of the way, college football heads into the "meaty" part of the season this week with two star attrac tions Army vs. Notre Dame and Michigan vs. Michigan State. The powerful Cadets and the rebounding Irish will meet at Philadelphia for the first time since 1947, when their classic series was discontinued by mu tual agreement. In games this season, Notre Dame followed up a 12-0 opening-game victory over Purdue by blanking Indiana, 26-0, last Saturday. Army galloped to a 27-13 victory over Perm State for its" second straight victory. So the long-awaited Irish-Cadet series renewal shapes up as a showdown between a solid Notre Dame line and Army's raft of breakaway runners. Next Saturday's Michigan vs. Michigan State game at Ann Ar bor should prove whether either team has the stuff to challenge defending champion Oklahoma for this year's national title. In other major games next weekend involving top-ranked teams, Minnesota visits North western, Texas A&M entertains Houston, Oregon State hosts Idaho, Navy visits California, Iowa is at Indiana, Duke visits Rice, and . Auburn entertains Kentucky.
