Best Southpaw Set
For World Series
Renewal Wednesday
Milwaukee - (t'PP- The two
best lefthanded pitchers in
baseball were matched for a
World Series renewal Wed
nesday with the "country
hick" Milwaukee Braves out
to prove their victory over
the "city slicker" New York
Yankees last year was no one-
shot wonder.
There was plenty of joy in
"Bushville" when the word
came from manager Fred
Haney of the Braves that he
would lead off with his 22-
game winner, Warren Spahn,
the only southpaw who has
won 20 games nine seasons.
He'll face the "Iceman" of
the Yankees, Whitey Ford,
when the two major league
pennant winners square up at
1 p.m. (CST) Wednesday in
this baseball-mad metropolis.
That's the way it was last
year, too, and although Ford
won, 3-1, the Braves came
back to win the series in sev
en games.
Laugh At Odds
This time the Braves and
their fans, who don't regard
the Yankees as highly as they
did last year figure "Spahnie"
will do the trick. If he doesn't
there's always Lew Burdette,
who beat the Yankees three
times in 1957 and who was
chosen by Haney to start the
second game on Thursday.
There was ample evidence
the "country boys" no longer
feared the proud and mighty
Yankees, The Braves and
their followers laughed at the
odds which made the New
Yorkers 13-10 favorites to win
the series.
But they weren't laughing
at that "Bushville" label any
more. They were sneering at
it.
"We're on top now. Let
them knock us down, if they
can," was the way shortstop
Johnny Logan summed up the
sentiment.
It was evidence of a differ
ent Milwaukee than the one
which went into a fast burn
a year ago when manager
Casey Stengel of the Yankees
allegedly termed them
"bush."
The Milwaukee Sentinal
made the keynote speech on
the tenor of this year's Series
when it pointed out "the d-m
Yankees" were scheduled to
arrive in "Bushville" Monday.
Arrive they did, before a
quiet crowd of about 150 that
gathered at the airport.
"Do you still think this is
Bushville?" he was asked.
Casey walked away from
the questioner, running his
eyes over the small crowd
a far cry from the throng
which crowded the railroad
station when the Stengelmen
arrived by train last year.
"Do you still think this is
Bushville?" the question
came again.
"I didn't say that," Casey
grunted testily. "I don't an
swer questions like that."
Workout Today
Casey wouldn't say either
who he would pitch in the
second game. The betting was
it would be bullet Bob Tur
ley, or perhaps Don (Perfect
Game) Larsen.
Haney said he would wait
until after today's workout be
fore announcing his starting
lineup. He wanted to take an
other look at three of his
cripples-outfielders Wes Cov
ington and Billy Bruton and
first baseman Frank Torre.
All have assorted injuries but
are expected to be able to
play.
With Ford going lor pe
Yankees, however, Joe Ad
cock who bats right-handed is
expected to start at first base
instead of Torre.
The advance weather fore
cast for Wednesday called for
fair and chilly, with the tern
perature in the low 60s.

Willie Mays Closes
Sizzling Season
Cincinnati, Ohio-OJPD-Willie
Mays of the San Francisco
Giants opened and closed the
1958 season at about the same
sizzling pace, and even
though he didn't win the Na
tional league batting title he
may wind up with the cir
cuit's most valuable player
award.
Willie banged away at a
.402 clip during May and
wound up in a tie with Stan
Musial of the St. Louis Cardi
nals for the first N. L. player-of-the-month
award. After a
summer-long slump, Mays
rapped away at an even hot
ter .445 pace in September
to win the season's last
monthly award.
The closing burst gave the
versatile Giants' center field
er a season batting marK oi
.347, but he lost out in the
hattini? race to Philadelphia
Phillies center fielder Richie
Ashburn, who finished with
a .350 average. However,
Mays out-hit Ashburn by 59
points in September, collect
in2 43 hits in 99 at bats.
As a result he won the Sep
tember award by a wide mar
gin in the poll of 37 sports
writers and broadcasters who
cover the National league
clubs regularly. Mays re
ceived 19 votes, while Bob
Friend of the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, who won five games
during the month without a
loss, got six and Ashburn tied
with Jerry Lynch of the Cin
cinnati Redlegs and Ernie
Banks of the Chicago Cubs
with three each.
National Loop Attendance
Second Best in History
United Press International
The enthusiastic reception
of major league baseball in
Los Angeles and San Fran

The Trojans, paper-thin in
some spots, had a growing list
of injured which included
first-string quarterback Wil
lie Wood, now definitely out
of USC's game with North
Carolina Friday night in the
Coliseum.
al survey disclosed National
league attendance soared to
10,164,254- an increase of 2,
344,653 over last season and
only 224,216 fewer than the
all-time league mark set in
1947.
Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco provided 1,435,712 of
this rise. The Dodgers drew

Coaches Cry
Over Big 10
Grid Games
Chicago-(UPD-Even the eight
victors in the Big Ten inter
sectiorial football games on
opening day had nothing bul
tears for the coaches' "wailing
wall" today.
The only bright spot was
Northwestern's Ara Parse
ghian. "Our linemen came
through in a way that even
surprised themselves," he said.
"We were starved for a win
and the one we got I feel will
prove a real shot in the arm."
Northwestern won by one
point, 29-28, over Washington
State.
Duffy Daugherty, whose
Michigan State team gained a
32-12 win over California,
liked some of the things he
saw, but he said "We made
a lot of mistakes. We fum
bled seven times. In a game
like we had it makes no dif
ference, but it could have
been disastrous if we were
playing an important opponent."
Another winner, Iowa's For
est Evashevski, after a 17-0
triumph over Texas Christian,
had many more problems
than the score.
"Our tackling was sharp,
but our blocking left a lot
to be desired. Our kicking
was terrible, I didn't like our
punting, and I'm not too
happy about failing on a
place kick for an extra point."
"Nothing's wrong when you
win," Purdue's Jack Mollen
kopf gasped after the victory
over Nebraska. But on sober
thought he said "When we
meet a team which can stop
our ground game, we're in
trouble.-We completed one of
seven pass attempts, so it's
a good thing we stayed on
the ground."
Red Schoendiensl, a star
second baseman in the Na
tional league for 14 years,
will play in his third World
Series this week when the
Milwaukee Braves meet the
New York Yankees. Schoen
dients played against the
Yankees in 1946 for the St.
Louis Cardinals, and this
year he and the Braves lake
on the Yankees for the sec
ond straight year. In the fol
lowing dispatch he presents
his views on the 1958 classic.
By RED SCHOENDIENST
Written For UPI
Milwaukee, Wis. -0JPD- This
Series with the Yankees is go
ing to be a pitching Series. It's
going to depend on how
strong the pitchers are on the
particular day they work.
Ford Said
Key Player
New York-OJPD-Jackie Rob
inson said today pitcher
Whitey Ford is "the key" to
the outcome of the World
Series.
"It all depends on Ford,
whom I consider the best
pitcher in baseball," Robin
son declared.
"If Ford is right, the Yan
kees have a fine chance to
win the Series. If he is not
right, I give it to Milwaukee."
The former National leaguer
and World Series veteran ad
mitted he is "pulling for the
Braves."
He predicted it will be "a
tough Series," possibly going
seven games. If the Series
goes the limit, he . said, he
thinks Ford will get a chance
to pitch three games.
Jayvees Get
33-0 Win
For Crater
Central Point-Crater High
junior varsity football team
defeated Ashland 33-0 here
last night.
Quarter scores were 14-0,
20-0 and 27-0. Dean Lamp
scored on a 30-yard run, Jim
Eldred on a 30-yard run and
a 45-yard pass interception
return, Rick Burns on a two
yard plunge and Don Gillas-
pey on a 80-yard pass inter
ception run.
Two touchdown runs were
called back for the Comets
both" on pass interceptions.
One was a 45-yard, return
by Jim Eldred and another
a 50-yard.return by Gillaspey.
I can't say that we are
stronger in hitting, or they
have the edge in reserves.
Our club is well balanced, and
they are too. I just feel our
club is good enough to win
again.
As for the Yankees being
out to avenge their loss of last
year, all I can say is they have
a good ballclub and we know
it. They also know how good
we are. I know it will be a
good Series because both
clubs think they can win.
I don't think we played as
good ball this year as we did
last year. Last year the in
juries didn't hurt us so much
and we played better, at least
in spurts.
Players Hurt
This year the fellows were
always getting hurt just as
they began to help us. Wes
Covington got hurt in the
spring before the season even
started. Mel Roach got hurt
just when he was filling in so
well for us. Last year they
brought up Bob Hazle and he
was able to stay in there and
get hot for us.
Those two good young pitch
ers, Carl Willey and Juan PK
zarro, helped us a lot, but an
other one, Joey Jay, was hurt
just when he got going good.
Right now we're in pretty
good shape. Mickey Mantle and
Bill Skowron will help the
Yankees, too, this year. But I
don't believe their absence
last year was what caused us
to win the Series. We just won
it, that's all.
The fellows on this club
know what they have to do
and what they can do. We
can't be worried about who
the Yankees are going to use.
We've got to worry about our
selves only.
I don't think it will make
any difference in this Series
if one club takes the first two
games or any other kind of
edge. i
It's the best four out of sev
en, whether it s the first four
or the last four.

Sooner Offense Up
Against Oregon
Oklahoma City -OJPD-Okla-homa's
use of a "new look"
offense, which helped elevate
the three-time national cham
pions into the No. 1 spot they
know so well, won't click
against Oregon's rugged de
fense next Saturday, Coach
Bud Wilkinson predicted to
day. The Sobners gave their
coach his 100th regular season
victory by trouncing West
Virginia 47-14, with a mul
tiple offense that spawned a
variety of descriptions. But
Wilkinson told the Oklahoma
City Quarterback club Okla
homa won't be able to count
on the surprise factor when
it meets Oregon at Norman
Saturday.
Wilkinson rated Oregon's
defense as one to be feared
and said he doesn't expect his
team to get inside its 30-yard
line, "scoring territory" in
his book, often. He cited Ore
gon's feat of holding Idaho to
54 yards in its opening game
two weeks ago.
"We won't play anybody
any better," he said.
Although Oklahoma took
over the top position in the
United Press International
major college football ratings
and Oregon was tied for 19th
Wilkinson was not impressed.
He takes little stock in polls
or ratings.
"I don't know if we're good
enough to beat them or not,"
he said. "We're going to try
awfully hard."

London -rtlPB- Heavyweight

British Empire champion
Brion London, who gave Pas

Their 10-round bout at Har

draw a sellout crowd of 10,000
because of the unpopularity of
the referee's decision in Feb
ruary and because of London's
apparent improvement since
