(Burdette osts 15th Win tor Brave Nine; By JOHN GRIFFIN . , United Press International The Yankees figure to clinch their pennant first, but i Yankee-killer Lew Bur dette is leading a much hot ter Milwaukee team toward the World Series. The "magic number" for a Yankee flag-clinching In the American league was down to just 17 today as a result of Bob Turley's 6-2 triumph over Kansas City on Tuesday -meaning that any combina tion of Yankee wins and White Sox losses adding to 17 will do the trick, possibly in about two weeks. The Braves have a more modest number of 22 to shoot at as a result of Burdette's 7-3 victory over San Francisco and probably will have to wait a little longer to uncork the champagne. And there's no doubt at all which is the hotter club right now. You can see why Casey Tiiriey NCAA Officials Condemn Tactics of Pro Baseball .

Yanks Fear Him And Burdette, the man the Yankees fear most after his three wins over them in last year's Series, is the guy shov eling on the coal. His six-hitter over the Giants was the 15th win of the season -nine of them since the mid-season All-Star game. Tuesday's win, which Bur dette celebrated by getting three hits himself, just about burst the Giants' bubble for this year. It was the Giants' eighth- straight loss to the team they were trying to beat out of the pennant, and it dropped them into third spot behind the Pittsburgh Pi rates, who scored a 5-3 win over St. Louis at night. the student athlete alone until his class graduates," the con ference said. Walter Byers, executive di rector of the NCAA, said a re cent survey showed only 20 of-403 youths signed to pro fessional baseball contracts during the past 10 years ever reached the major leagues. The survey also showed, he said, that 81 per cent of the college freshmen and 77 pei? cent of the sophomores who signed pro contracts withdrew from college. "This shows that a great majority of students affected by such indiscriminate sign ing end up-without an educa tion or a baseball career," Byers said. 245 South Central X 'AUMUl OS fohd CLIP THIS COUPON - BRING IT TO FORTUNE Reg. $1.79 Through September 3 In other TWesday games, Robin Roberts' four-hitter gave the Phillies a 10-3 romp over the Chicago Cubs; ex- Dodger Don Newcombe pitch ed Cincinnati to a 6-4 win over Los Angeles; Early Wynn pitched and batted the Chicago White Sox to a 5-2 victory over Washington; Bal timore nipped Cleveland, 1-0, in 12 innings.
