Into Tight Spot
At Yankee Home
New York IP) Manager
Fred Haney today named fast
balling righthander Bob Buhl
to pitch Wednesday's sixth
game of the World Series for
his now favored Milwaukee
Braves against the New York
Yankees.
Haney's selection gives the
beetle-browed Buhl, from Sag
inaw, Mich., a second chance
at series glory. He was the
starting pitcher for the Braves
in the third game of the series
Saturday in Milwaukee but
was hammered out of the box
in the first inning as the Yan
kees started toward an even
tual 12-3 victory.

New York TP) Those amaz
Tig Braves were established as
2-1 favorites over the New York
Yankees today because every
thing is going their way to whip
the "big city boys" and make
Milwaukee the baseball capital
of the world.

huge question-mark and Casey

Yank Scouts
Miss Aaron
In Reports
New York (IP) A frustrated
Casey Stengel concede that
Hank Aaron "has got us by the
ears," and the young Milwaukee
slugger provided the necessary
proof today with a .422 World
Series average.
Yankee scouts who looked
Aaron over during the final
weeks of the regular season
came back and reported the best
possible way to deal with him
was to keep the ball low.
"I know they're pitching me
low," said the 23-year-old out
fielder after contributing two
hits in Milwaukee's 1-0 victory
at County stadium Monday, "but
it doesn't bother me especially."
That's quite apparent from the
way he has been treating Yan
kee pitchers during this Series.
He leads the Braves not only in
batting, but in runs driven in
with five and in home runs with
two.
"The Yankee pitchers are hu
man," he explains. "They can
be beaten. They have a good
pitching staff but in my opinion
Brooklyn has a tougher staff.
When those Dodgers throw fel
lows like Don Drysdale, John
ny Podres and Sandy Koufax at
you, it can be a mighty miser
able afternoon."

"tengel's Back To Wall
Stengel, backed to the wall
strategically, has to play "scared
baseball." He's announced he'll
come back with fireballer Bob
Turley in the sixth game but he
knows he must use every avail
able pitcher for relief and
that includes Whitey Ford.
So far, Ford is the only Yan
kee pitcher who really has look
ed good against the Braves and
he was beaten, 1-0, Monday
when ex-Yankee farmhand Bur
dette outpitched him in a bril
liant duel.
Burdette, whom the Yankees
traded in the 1951 deal for John
ny Sain, came back to haunt
his old bosses with a sparkling
seven-hitter that topped his ef
fort in the 4-2, second game
Milwaukee triumph. Lew didn't
let a Yankee reach third base
and closed brilliantly by strik
ing out two batters in the ninth
and getting Yogi Berra on a 15
foot pop fly for the final out
after Gil McDougald singled to
keep New York alive.
Ford appeared every bit as
good as Burdette, especially in
the early going, but the breaks
went against him as they so
rarely do for, the Yankees. The
first, of course, was Eddie Math
ews' infield hit which second-baseman
Jerry Coleman ad
mitted he "misjudged." Then
came a bloop single by Hank
Aaron that sent Mathews to
third and a clean sharp single
to right field by Joe Adcock.
It remained for the Yankees,
especially Stengel, to come up
with the most controversial stra
tegy the Series has seen so far.
With one out, Coleman sin
gled in the bottom of the eighth
and the wheels started turning
in Stengel's head. Moments la
ter, Mantle appeared out of the
Yankee dugout and it seemed
certain that he was going to
bat for Ford.
But the crowd of 45,811 was
astonished when Mantle went in
to run for Coleman and Elston
Howard, who tied Sunday's
game with a three-run ninth
inning homer, was the pinch
hitter for Ford.
Howard was called out on
strikes and then Mantle was
out stealing when Hank Bauer's
missed Burdette's first pitch to
him.
The only other anxious mom
ent for Burdette, the controver
sial right hander who had a 17-
9 record during the NL season,
came when McDougald singled
and brought up Berra with a
chance to win it with a homer.
But Yogi's effort was a feeble
pop that Mathews squeezed to a
pulp only a few feet from the
plate.
The teams flew out of Mil
waukee Monday night and prob
ably will have light workouts
today. No western National
league team has won a world
championship since the St. Louis
Cardinals won in 1946 but a
new dynasty appears to be grow
ing in Milwaukee and it may be
official by late Wednesday.
New York TP) The Mil
waukee Braves now are favored
to win the World Series, even
though the New York Yankees
are favored to win Wednesday's
sixth game at Yankee stadium.
Broadway odds-makers revis
ed their "line" after the Braves'
victory Monday to make Mil
waukee a 2-1 choice in "man to
man" odds on the Series the
first time since the classic began
that the Braves have been nam
ed on top.
But the Yankees are favored
at 3-2 to win the sixth game.

In the following dispatch, he

game.
By LEW BURDETTE
As Told To United Press
Milwaukee (IP) Today's
Monday win over the Yankees
wasn't as much of a novelty as
that first one, but don't go get
ting the idea I was bored.
Even when you shut out the
Yanks, they generally manage to
make life interesting for a pitch
er. I had two real anxious mo
ments against them today.
The first one was in the fourth
inning when Wes Covington
made that fine catch on Gil Mc
Dougald. And the second one
came in the eighth when they
had a man on and Elston Howard
batted for Whitey Ford.
That Wes is my man. Remem
ber that catch he made on Bobby
Shantz to help me win the sec
ond game of the Series. The
catch he made today was almost
as good. When McDougald hit
the ball I didn't think it was
going that far. But when I saw
Wes grab the ball and bounce off
the fence. I realized McDougald
had belted the ball a lot farther
than I imagined.
The big moment for me,
though was when I got Howard
to strike out with a pitch on the
outside corner. When he came
up to hit for Ford, I had a vivid
picture of that three-run homer
he hit to tie up Sunday's game.
Del Crandall, tells me I was
sharper today than I was when
I beat the Yankees the first time
and I go along with him. You
can't afford to let up at all when
you're operating on a one-run
lead and don't forget we didn't
get that run until the sixth in
ning. For the most part, I threw
sinkers, sliders and screwballs
today, just as I did in the second
game. I don't think I used more
than six or eight curves all day.
If I was pinned down, I'd
have to say my best pitch was
the screwball. That's what I got
Harry Sjmpson on when he hit
into double plays in the second
and fourth innings.
Now that we've got the Yan
Daily's U-Qrive
Medford Airport
j
favorites Olagni
kees three games to two, I don't
see any reason why we shouldn't
be able to take them when we
get to New York.
And if they need me to pitch
another game, I'm ready. All
they have to do is holler.
Patterson Lists
Reasons for Isle
Fight Turndown
New York (IP) Cus D'Ama-
to, manager of heavyweight
champion Floyd Patterson, gave
four emphatic reasons today
why he won't accept a reported
3140,000 offer from London box
ing promoter Jack Solomons for
a title defense in London next
June.
Solomons said in London on
Monday he would like to match
Patterson against Dick Richard
son of England on June 3, 1958,
providing Richardson beats third
ranked heavyweight contender
Willie Pastrano of New York in
their London bout on Oct. 22.
D'Amato's reasons for refus
al: 1. "I have received no offer
from Solomons."
2. "If Richardson should beat
Pastrano, it still doesn't make
him a contender."
3. "I would rather fight for
Harry Levine or some other in
dependent London promoter, ra
ther than for Solomons with his
ties to the International Boxing
club."
4. "The $140,000 offer is the
smallest we have had among the
many for the next defense."
