By MILTON RICHMAN New York-HTD-If you go by cold figures, the Braves and Yankees are on a par offen sively, but if you go by base ball men Milwaukee is way out in front. Statistically, the Braves and Yankees each are hitting .268, so there is nothing to choose there. It is quite generally agreed, however, the Braves compiled their average against far better pitching than the Yankees. Man for man, Milwaukee's lineup presents a much stronger challenge to an op posing pitcher than does the New York array, according to the talk you hear around both , leagues from managers, coaches and players. Braves Have Sluggers They seem to feel Mickey Mantle, with 41, and Yogi Berra, with 22, are the only real consistent home run threats on the Yankees. They then point out Hank Aaron, Eddie Mathews, Joe Adcock and Wes Covington are au thentic long-ball slu'gers and even Johnny Logan and Frank Torre reach the seats with over-the-fence blasts regularly enough. Aaron and Mathews each showed 30 homers when the Braves clinched their second straight pennant last Sunday; Covington had 24; Adcock, 19; Crandall, 18, Logan 11, and Torre, five. Logan has had his troubles at the plate lately and Bruton is some 25 points below the .300 mark, but neither is con sidered a soft touch with a bat in his hand. Can Be Pitched To The Yankees, on the other hand, have several men in their lineup American league hurlers feel can "be pitched to." They're referring to fel Every new car and all demonstrators must be sold by the end of this month.

"As dangerous as Mantle is," pointed out one AL pitch er, "you have to bear in mind he strikes out three times for every home run he hits. Yogi is still a tough man to get out in the clutch, but he doesn't scare you quite as much as he did two-three years ago." The only real apparent edge the Yankees have on offense is maneuverability and that, of course, is the department in which Casey Stengel shines.

That startling disclosure was included in a shower of statistics released today by the National Collegiate Ath letic association in its latest campaign to halt major league "raiding" on the na tion's campuses. The report pointed out the chances of a collegian reach ing the majors are nil if he signs a non-bonus contract with a team lower than Class A.The odds are about 400-1 for youths signing with Class A or Triple-A teams. We've been caught with our stocks up! We bet that the UAW and the manufacturers wouldn't get together. So, anticipating a strike, we bought extra cars. Their agreement changed the picture now we have too many cars ston Howard in the same line up if he chooses; he can use Kubek in any spot in the in field or outfield, and men like Jerry Lumpe, Bobby Richard son and McDougald are per fectly at home in at least two different positions so that Stengel can pinch-hit often. Fred Haney can make a number of offensive moves, too, although not as many as Stengel. The Milwaukee skip per can, if he chooses, play Adcock in the outfield and Torre at first at the same time; he has a dependable fill-in for Red Schoendienst in Felix Mantilla, no weak sister at the plate; and Andy Pafko is available for pinch hitting or outfield duty. a college player who signs for a bonus has a 4-1 chance of reaching the majors, the report showed. Forty-seven of the 403 players, in the sur vey signe'd bonus contracts between 1947 and 1957. Only 12 were in the majors in 1957. The report disclosed 81 per cent of college freshmen who sign professional contracts withdraw permanently from college and never return.

On the ground, 'Calif ornia had gained 350 yards to I Washington State's 224 but ill in; ail ciic niiuiusiivu team was leading by 214 yards to 176 for Oregon, also top team on defense.

Patterson May Face Valdes in December New York-flJPD-T h e trend of negotiations indicated to day Floyd Patterson will de fend his heavyweight crown against Nino Valdes at Madi son Square Garden Dec. 2 or 4. Chairman Julius Helf and announced the Madison Square Garden Corp. has con sented to rent the Garden to Emil Lence, an independent promoter, for a heavyweight title bout and that rental terms have been practically agreed upon; . It's almost an open secret along Lammers' Lane that Valdes of Cuba will be the December challenger. ; Nino, who will be 34 on Dec. 5, is rated fourth among contend ers and apparently quite ac ceptable to the commission.

The 40-year-old , slugger drove in four runs with his 23rd homer, a double and a single and. lifted his average to .317-eight points behind Runnels, who went 2-for-4. Williams, who singled home a run in Boston's five-run first inning and homered in the fourth, doubled home the tying run in the eighth and then scored the decisive tally on Jackie Jensen's single. Bob Turley, the Yankees' 21 -game winner, was ham mered for nine hits and seven runs in tfiree . innings but Johnny Kucks, who yielded the two eighth-inning runs, was the loser. Phillies Top Braves The loss was the sixth straight for the Yankees but it may have soothed their pride a bit to know the Mil waukee Braves didn't exact ly look like championships in their first outing since clinching the National league pennant. - A two-run seventh inning single by Ed Bouchee enabled the last-place Phila delphia Phillies to top the Braves, 6-5, and earn Jim Owens his iirst big league winy , Outstanding pitching mark ed most of the other games in both leagues.

Gomez, who carried a 10-12 record but has been strong in recent weeks, will battle the Chicago Cubs' Don Briggs in an attempt to atone for Tuesday night's heart-breaker 3-2 loss. - In that one, the Giants went into the top of the ninth in ning holding a 2-1 edge. Little Stu Miller was pitching his heart out as he tried to con solidate his position as the Na tional league's earned run pitcher. ' Moryn Hemtn But big Walt Moryn smash ed a homer to lead off the ninth inning and Ernie Banks clouted pop-up double in the tenth to send across the win ning run and ruin Miller's ef fort. The only bright part of the show was the fact that Willie Mays, battling down to the wire with Richie Ashburn of Philadelphia for the, league batting crown, got three hits two infield scratches and one solid blow. That boosted his average to .344, the same as Ashburn. It was the 28th one-run loss of the year as against 27 wins and it was the ninth extra in ning defeat for the San Fran cisco club against the same number of wins.

Oregon State sent 11 men out on the field to face the mighty "Tnundering Herd" of Southern California which under Howard Jones had won 25 straight games over three seasons. At the end of the game the same 11 men were on the field. All had turned in 60-minute performances as Oregon ,State tied the Trojans 0-0 in one of football's all-time upsets This coming Saturday, mem bers of that Oregon State squad will gather in Portland tor a reunion before the Ore gon State-Kansas game that night. Many of them haven't seen each other in the 25 years that have gone by since their "Ironman" performances. Most of the "Ironmen" are expected here. One, star half back Norman (Red) Franklin, has died of a heart attack. The others are scattered from Georgia to the Hawaiian Is lands. Only two of them are still in Oregon, both of them ends. Woody Joslin is a partner in a beverage firm in Coos Bay. Vic Curtin is a Portland police lieutenant. Three of the "Ironmen" re side in the Hawaiian Islands. They are tackles Abe (Tar) Schwammel and Harry Field and right halfback Pierre Bowman. . Clyde Devine, the center, is a swimming school operator in California and Hal Joslin, the fullback from Baker, Ore., is a contractor in San Ansel mo, Calif.
