Milwaukee Prospects For Series (This is the last of three dispatches comparing the Milwaukee Braves and New York Yankees for the 1958 World Series.) By MILTON RICHMAN New York-flJPD-With a pair of battle-tested aces in Warren Spahn and Lew Burdette, a strong reliever in Don McMa- hon and two off-days for trav el, the Milwaukee Braves World Series pitching pros pects appear much brighter than the New York Yankees', If manager Casey Stengel could be sure lefty Whitey Ford and reliever Ryne Duren STANDINGS NATIONAL LEAGUE W.

(Ernie) White, Manager Pitching Brighter Tangles were both in the same brilli ant form of the first half of the season, the Yankees' pitch ing might be up to the stand ard of Milwaukee's, consider ing the playing schedule of the Series. But although Ford has pitched well in part-game ap pearances with the pennant pressure off during recent weeks, there is some doubt whether his arm is as sound as when he compiled a 13-4 record by July 25. He devel oped arm trouble soon after that and has not won a game since Aug. 8. Better Than '48 Brayei And Duren, who picked up a few minor injuries around mid -season, also has not pitched like the blow-'em-down, late-inning fireman he was during the early months of 1958. ' Milwaukee's 1-2 pitching punch of Spahn (21-11) and Burdette (19-10) is consider ably better than the pennant winning Boston Braves' staff of 1948, when the chant was: "Spahn and Sain, and then we'll pray for a day of rain." The '48 Braves never did get any rain and lost that Series in five carries. Ten years later Spahn is cagier and as tough to beat as he ever was; the Braves have a strong er supporting cast for their two top pitchers; and there is that Friday and Tuesday break for travel, which again sets up three starts by Bur dette. Burdette is manager Fred Haney's logical Series starter for two reasons: 1. In the event of another seven-game series, Lew is stronger and better equipped than Spahn to make three starts; 2. His mastery over the Yankees last year is a big psychological asset to the Braves. Burdette rs. Turley Stengels ODemni? - game pitcher undoubtedly will be Bob Turley (21-7). He is big and strong, has proved during the 1956 and 1957 Series he can give his best under nres- sure, and probably could make tnree starts if the Series de manded it. Ford (14-7) who has won five Series games during his career, is expected to oppose Spahn in the second game. For the third eame In Yan kee Stadium the plans of both managers are vaeue. Haney can choose from among rookie Carlton Willev (Q-fi)- Juan Pizarro, a lefthanded sec ond-year man with a 6-4 rec ord; and Bob Buhl (5-2). a victim of arm trouble for more than half the season. Another less-likely starting prospect- is Bob Rush (10-6), who is more arjt to be used for middle-inning relief jobs, Joey Jay, once a starting pros pect, is out of the Series be cause of injuries. Stengel has more Ditchers to choose from for that third starting role, but the quality is questionable. It could be Don (Perfect Game) Larson (8-6), ; whose arme has been giving him miseries; Bobby Shantz (7-6). ineffective in a start against the Braves last year; Duke Maas (11-8, who has shown improvement late ly: Art Ditmar (9-8) and Mur- ry Dickson (10-7), the former National League castoff who still remembers the Milwau kee hitters pretty well. The Series could well turn on which manager makes the right "guess" for the third- game assignment. After that, both managers undoubtedlv will go back to their aces for the next two gamesi The (RATER Meal Plant Midway Road Med Cubs Beat 7-4 to Rate Los Angeles, Sept. 27 -flJPD-The Chicago Cubs came up with a four-run rally in the ninth inning Saturday to close out the season against the Dodgers with a 7-4 vic tory that put them in sixth place. Bobby Thomson, playing like the old pro that he has established himself to be over the years, was the batting star of the final game of the sea son for both clubs. Thomson had three hits in four times at bat, including a two-run homer in the sixth inning that moved the Cubs to within one run of the Dodgers and paved the way for the ninth-inning rally. Thomson led off the final big inning with a single, and consecutive singles by Dale Long, Jim Marshall and Cal Neeman set up the four-run rally with all the scoring Cards Outlast Giants, Rap Out 11 San Francisco -UPD- The St. Louis Cardinals rapped out 16 hits off four San Francisco pitchers Saturday to outlast the Giants, 11-7. The Giants took a 4-0 lead after two innings of play, two tallies on Leon Wagner's homer in the first frame. But the Cards came back with a run in the third and added four more in the fourth inning to knot the score at 5-5. Gene Green hit his 13th homer 'of the year to account for the two St. Louis runs in the big fourth.

Diving Ducks Suffering From Rugged Winters Portland . America's div ing ducks have seldom "had it so bad" as 'during the past three years, records of the De partment of the Interior show. This has led to., regulations restricting hunting on two of the divers the canvasback and redhead and serious concern over other species. This condition arises be cause weather conditions on their breeding grounds for the past three years have been especially adverse. The plight of these birds is reflected in both the winter survey and the nesting ground survey made by the bureau of sport fisheries and wildlife of the United States fish and wild life service. Weather has eliminated nesting sites and reduced hatches. Restrictions which have been decreed for the fall hunt ing season limit a nunier in the Central, Mississippi and Atlantic f lyways to two can- vasbacks or two redheads or one canvasback and one red head in the daily bag and to an aggregate of four in pos session. In the Pacific flyway, which consists of the states of Arizona, California, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Washington and Utah, there are no spe cial restrictions on the tak ing of these two species.

For Los Angeles, catcher John Roseboro singled with none on base in the first in ning and outfielder Carl Fu rillo homered in the fifth with Ron Fairly on first as the Dodgers pushed over three runs to take a brief 4-1 lead that lasted only an inning un til Thomson hit his two-run homer to narrow the gap. A crowd of 12,897 turned out for the finale of the Dodg er home season and brought the coliseum attendance to 1,845,268 (M), as compared with 1,028,258 (M) the Dodg ers drew last year in Brook lyn. The Dodgers and Cubs had gone into Saturday's game tied for sixth place and the loss left the Dodgers in sole possession of seventh.' - 7 Win then added single runs in the fifth and sixth and wrapped it up with a pair of tallies in the seventh and ninth frames Willie Mays stayed in the thick of the battling cham pionship battle with Richie Ashburn of Philadelphia by getting two for five to push his average to .3445. The Giants staged a two run rally in the eighth when Ray Jablonski smashed a pinch double with the bases loaded. But relief hurler Jim Brosnan got Bill White to fly out to end the uprising. . In other major changes ior the season, the Eagles will play at Franklin field instead of Connie Mack Stadium, and the Pittsburgh Steelers will play at Pitt Stadium instead of Forbes Field.

Others identified are Allen Redmond Panthers Clan Crater 27-6 Central Point Redmond High school's gold-clad Pan thers burst for three touch downs in the third quarter to turn what had been a close ruckus into a rout and claw Crater, 27 to 6, in a non-conference football game here Friday night. For the Panthers, it was their second victory in three starts this season, and for Crater it was the first setback in three engagements. Red mond took the edge in a five year series with its second triumph over the Comets. Crater has won once and two games have ended in ties. A narrow margin of 7 to 6 favored the Panthers when the two clubs took the field for the third period. On the first scrimmage play of the quarter, Rob Osburn got Red mond on the way to decisive victory with an 80-yard touch down ramble. The Panthers turned a Crater fumble into another TD and still later in the canto punched 56 yards to the goal. Great line play carried the Panthers along to the verdict. Fine blocking from the scrim mage line and downfield opened the way for the tricky running of Osburn and Joe Freedman and the plunging of Justin King. Quarterback Don McCrea keyed some sharp backfield deception and his passing and receptions by Van Zitek and Tom Alley helped keep Redmond on the move. On defense the central Oregonians kept the Comets well contained in the first quarter and second half. Penalties and a couple of Crater pass interceptions hampered the Redmond cause while the Comets lost the ball on fumbles four times. Crater loomed strongest in the second quarter, smashing to 'its lone touchdown and threatening to score another when the signal ending the first half sounded. 50-Yard Pass Redmond journeyed 98 yards in 11 plays for a first quarter touchdown after hav ing its back against the wall on a 46-yard punt by Crater's Wayne Allen. The long drive took 11 plays including one 10-yard fumble setback. Big gest gainer was 50 yards on a McCrea to Alley pass. Os burn went the last seven on a hand-off and King slammed for the extra point. Crater put together a 78- yard march for its TD. A 48 yard pass play, Allen to Har old Twedell covered the big- gesct portion of the distance, and 20 yards of penalties against Redmond were put to good use. Kerman Bennett skirted left end for the final yard. Freedman got good block ing and went over the right S. Riverside and S. Central A NEXT FREE FORD OCT. A side of his own line to break loose for his 80-yard scamper. A teammate boomed Loyal Higinbotham, the deepest de fender, out of the way. Ben nett gave chase but Freedman reached the goal before he was caught. The Panthers got the ball on the Comet 32-yard line on a fumble recovery to launch a touchdown drive. It took sev en plays with McCrea passing to Alley for the last six and then throwing to Zitek for the conversion. . For the last surge Redmond took over on its own 44 and shook Osburn free 45 yards to the Comet 11. Freedman made seven more and Osburn went over the left side to tabulate., A McCrea to Alley pass got the bonus. . The Comets halted one Red mond drive on their three in the second quarter and after being penalized to the one, fought to the Panther 31 by halftime. Allen overshot Ben nett, who was in the end zone, with a toss on the last play of the half. At the start of the march, Bob Fowler had almost been trapped in his own end zone but struggled out to the 12 to avoid a safety. STATISTICS: Cr.

Red Sox Win 9-5 Over Washington Ted Williams, the Boston Red Sox' 40-year-old slugging star, opened up a three-point lead in the race for his sixth American league batting title Saturday when he collected three hits, including a homer, in a 9-5 victory over the Washington Senators. Williams' three hits in four official tries raised his aver age from .322 to .327. Team mate Pete Runnels, who started the day tied with Wil liams, had three hits in six tries to lift his average to .324. Williams and Runnels each hit a homer and Run nels also tripled. It was the 12th straight loss for the Senators. Al Kaline's triple with the bases loaded featured a five run eighth-inning rally that carried the Detroit Tigers to a 5-1 victory over the Cleve land Indians. Cal McLish of the Indians appeared on his way to his 17th triumph with a 1-0 lead until .the eighth. A walk, an infield out and Gus Zernial's single tied the score.
