Monday. October 14, 1957 Milwaukee Win Break For Baseball Milwaukee UP) All of base ball got a break when the Mil waukee Braves defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series, said the player who starred at the plate in the 1957 classic. Outfielder Hank Aaron of the Braves, who had the best bat ting average, most home runs and most RBIs, in the series, said: "We showed all of baseball that just by playing good ball you can beat the Yankees." The 23-year-old Braves slug ger said Milwaukee's triumph "put an end to the domination" the Yankees held on baseball under manager Casey Stengel. "That's going to do baseball a lot of good," said Aaron. "We especially did the Am erican league a favor," he said. "The Braves set the example for the other seven American league teams by showing them that you play ball against those guys and you can beat them," he said. By Surprise "We took them by surprise and really broke them up," said Aaron on the Braves four Ser ies victories that brought the world baseball title to Milwau kee and touched off a wave of jubilation from Manhattan's western boundary to the West Coast. "I know we have a better ball club than the Yankees," said Aaron. "The Yankees didn't think we had it, but we showed them by capitalising on any thing that could benefit us. They outhit us but we got the runs that counted." Aaron had three homers, 11 runs batted in, and an average of .393 to lead in the three most important departments in the series.

Oklahoma and Michigan State, the leading "contenders for the national title, unfortunately are not scheduled to meet this sea son. However, both play Notre Dame on successive Saturdays next month. So if the Sooners and the Spartans remain unbeaten, those games with the Irish may decide who wears the crown this season. Notre Dame conceivably could join in the title chase if the Irish continue their strong comeback, but the odds and the schedule are against them.

C. A. Owen, a former civil service commissioner, said the doorbell ringers are members of a "Citizens' Committee to Save Chavez Ravine for the Peo ple." The group was organized last week to force a referendum on a city council ordinance in volving land for a Dodger ball park. Under terms of the ordinance passed last Monday, the Dodgers would get 300 acres of land in Chavez ravine in exchange for their present ball park in the city, Wrigley Field, when they move to Los Angeles next year. Opponents of the ordinance charged that the Chavez ravine property is worth far more than Wrigley field and branded the' deal was a "given away." Dodger President Walter O'Malley said the club needed 300 acres of land for a 50,000 seat stadium he plans to build when the team moves to the West Coast for the 1958 season. Opponents of the transfer need nearly 52,000 signatures from voters within 30 days after the ordinance is published in order to force the referendum. Sacramento, 'Unsettled1 dent Fred David expressed "re gret" at the manager's resigna tion. David said Heath's decision to leave the'club "was in no way connected with the unsettled status of the PCL." David has predicted flatly that the decision of the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers to come to California will doom the league. The Sacramento Union said that Heath was in line for a combination field and general manager job in Portland. Heath said his plans still were "indefinite" but that he hoped to "be able to say something within a week." G. A. Kingsley, president of the Portland club, denied that Heath had been signed but he admitted the ex-Sacramento pi lot was under consideration. COQUILLE COACH DIES Coquille, Ore. (IP) Earl E.

The Browns and Eagles have been feuding for years and seven players wer tossed out of Sun day's game for fighting. Have Old Look The Browns have allowed their first three opponents to average only 7.3 points and are beginning to look like the team that won six straight Eastern Division titles before losing the crown to the New York Giants in 1956. New York, still not showing the power that made it league champion last year, edged the Washington Redskins, 24-20, and the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the Chicago Cardinals, 29-20.
