" By BAY DOHERTY Milwaukee -UPD- Outfielder Eilly Bruton, still bothered by the bad knee that kept him out of last year's World Series, teamed up with veteran War ren Spahn to give the Mil waukee Braves a 4-3, 10-in-ning victory in the first game of this year's classic. -Bruton singled sharply to right center to score Joe Ad cock with the run that gave the Braves a victory before 46,367 fans. It was the third hit in. that inriing off the speed-balling Ryne Duren, who was called to the rescue of the Yankees' star southpaw, Whitey Ford, in the eighth. Adcock got the Braves started with one olit in the 10th with a single to right. Duren got Wes Covington to Fast Balls Bring Nod For Spahn (Veteran Warren Spahn pitched the Braves to a 10 inning 4-3 victory over the Yankees in the World Series opener Wednesday. He tells his impressions of the game in the following dispatch.) By WARREN SPAHN . Written for UPI Milwaukee 0JPD That's one down, and I'm counting on my roomie, Lew Burdette, to make it two today. The Yankees were just as tough for me this time as they were last year, although I felt a little better about the whole thing because I knew more about them. By the same to ken, though, they knew more about me, so maybe that made it a standoff. I don't know if they were looking for a lot of breaking stuff from me it makes sense that they should but I threw mostly fast balls. Too Far Out I wasn't trying to out-smart them particularly. It simply seemed to me that they were getting too far out in front of my fast ones. The odd thing about it is that the two home runs hit off me came on breaking pitches. I threw a pretty good change up to Bill Skowron in the fourth and he put it over the wall, then Hank Bauer picked on a screwball for that two run homer he hit in the fifth. I realize the Yankees got six hits off me during the first five innings, and the only log ical reason I can offer is that I was trying to be a little too careful. I saw that wind blow ing out to left field and I knew it could hurt. Brooklyn Man Perches High On Light Pole Milwaukee - (LTD - Anthony Albano, 61, Brooklyn, N.Y., saw Wednesday's first World Series game between- the Braves and Yankees from the top of a 135-foot light pole in center field at County Sta dium. Why? "I'm a baseball fan," said Albano, who was numbed with fear and cold when fire men got him off his windy, swaying perch. Albano said he climbed the pole in the morning after sneaking into the stadium. He took that course when he couldn't buy a ticket. He wasn't discovered until after the game had started, and then it was decided not to interfere with play to get him down. Ladder Short Players and fans kept their eye on him, however. Yankee centerfielder Mickey Mantle eyed him a couple of times. An aerial ladder was leaned against the pole, but it was 35 feet short. With the pole swaying in the stiff breeze about four feet, fireman Earl Curray, car rying 125 feet of life rope on his back, climbed up to Albano and tied him in a "sling" for the trip down. The chilled Brooklynite was taken to the Milwaukee County General Hospital for observation. The most backward of all animals, the crayfish, has its teeth in its stomach and its livejin his head. Oregon, Thursday, October 2, 1958 Soahn H ' ' --fir WARREN SPAHN Wins Opener for Braves fly out but Del Crandall sin gled through the middle send ing Adcock to second. Then up came Bruton, who didn't get into the game until the ninth when he batted for Andy Paf- ko and fanned. The slender outfielder foul ed off one pitch, took a ball, then connected with a Duren fast ball for his winning hit. Duren also was on .the mound when the Braves, be hind 3-2, tied the game in the eighth. Ford was lifted after Eddie Mathews walked and Hank Aaron doubled with none out. Duren struck out Adcock on five pitches. Manager Casey Stengel went to the mound and aftar a brief chat it was decided to pitch to the left handed hitting Covington. Duren got two strikes past him before Covington hit a high fly to Mickey Mantle that enabled Mathews to score after the catch. The Yankees got the lead first in the fourth inning when Bill Skowron homered. Milwaukee came right back in the bottom of the fourth. With two out and Aaron on second because of a walk and passed ball, Crandall singled to score Aarcn. Pafko drove one through the middle for another safety and Spahn did likewise to score Crandall and put the Braves ahead, 2-1. . Hank Bauer, who extended his hitting streak to 15 games with two hits, homered after Ford's walk in the fifth to put New York in front, 3-2. But then the Braves', eighth and finally that decisive 10th. BOX: New York (A) Bauer, rf McDougald, 2b . Mantle, cf Howard.

With a book maker, a Milwaukee bettor would have to lay $13 to $10 and a Yankee rooter could win $11 with a $10 bet on the Series outcome. "I'm going with ' the guy who won the pennant for me," explained Yank manager Casey Stengel. "I don't worry about odds." Burdette had a string of 24 1-3 scoreless innings going for him in Series competition 5 1-3 short of the record 29 2-3 scoreless innings which the late Babe Ruth set as a southpaw pitcher for the Bos Federal Forest, Grazing Lands Open for Hunters Portland A joint state ment regarding public use of lands under their administra tion was issued today by Vir gil Heath, state supervisor of the bureau of land manage ment, and J.

It was stated that essential ly all national forest, Taylor grazing and O&C lands are open to public use, including hunting in accordance with state game regulatios. Federal clonsures are sometimes made on experimental, recreational, and extreme fire hazard areas or for other special consider ations, but these would be minor in extent and appropri ately posted.

Burdette beat the Yankees, 4-2, in the second game last year, then hurled two shutouts at them - 1-0 over Whitey Ford in the fifth game and 5-0 over Don Larsen in the sev enth and deciding game. Tur ley won the sixth game for the Yankees to even the Series his only victory in Series competition. Their pitching styles are in sharp contrast.

Bowden Races; Lady Benefits Berkeley, Calif, - (UPD - The only American who ever broke the four-minute mile may. have set a new record Wednesday when he raced half a mile to get help for a woman pinned under an over turned car. Don Bowden of the Univer sity of California was taking his morning track workout when he heard groans from the bottom of a 150-foot em bankment deep in the hills. A car driven by Mrs. Doris Scott, 42, had careened off Grizzly Peak blvd. and plunged down the embank ment, pinning her underneath. Rescuers found . Mrs. Scott suffered only a few bruises but she could have remained underneath the car for hours or days had not Bowden found her. Bowden, now a graduate student in political science, broke the four-minute mile on "June 11, 1957. His time was 3:53.7. .-A i -Nudge Bill Bruton Makes Up Lost Time Milwaukee -(UPD- Billy Bru ton figured today that he made up for lost time. The centerfielder of the Mil waukee Braves missed last year's World Series because of a knee injury which threat ened to end his baseball ca reer. In spring training, it didn't look like he would have it. But he came back and he climaxed that comeback Wednesday when he poked the game-winning hit. "It was worth waiting for," said Bruton of Jiis line smash that fell between the New York Yankees' center and right fielders, scoring Joe Ad cock from second with the de cisive marker. Knee Still Bad Bruton's left knee is still in bad shape more than a year after the injury suffered in a collision with a teammate. That's the reason he didn't start Wednesday's game, but he came in as a pinch batter in the ninth. "The knee still gives , me trouble," Bruton said, "and I have to give it a rest when it acts up. I still can't pivot or get off to a fast start." . . Despite his handicap Bru ton still manages bursts of speed reminiscent of his for mer fleetness. He was regard ed one of the fastest men in baseball before his injury. This year he stole 11 bases in 79 games. Ashlanders To Oppose Lake view Ashland Ashland high football fans have the first opportunity to see their team play on its home field Friday night. The Grizzlies will entertain Lakeview, which a couple of weeks ago was a 13 to 0 vic tim of Yreka, Calif., which Ashland beat 6 to 0 last week. Offense has been a main issue this week as the Grizz lies primed to make a good showing in their first appear ance here of 1958. The attack has not materialized like Coach Varney Corey and his aides have felt it should. Ob jective this Friday will be to move the ball and Tiang on to it. Corey feels that the offense has speeded up a bit in drills. Passing offense as well as the ground attack has had at tention. Corey says the Grizzlies are about as ready as they can be an dare in both good physical shape and in a good frame of mind.

HERTZ TRUCK RENTAL Available at HOPKINS RICHFIELD SERVICE McAndrews at Court SP 3-9068 Pitching Pattern Adopted After Tilt Got Underway By DAN HANLEY JR Milwaukee (UPD Warren Spahn simply outfoxed them. While the New York Yan kees hung back waiting for Milwaukee's left-handed ace to throw his curves and slid er, the aging Spahn kept them off balance with change - ups and uncranked his fast ball into the deepening shadows of the afternoon for a 4-3 victory. ' Spahn, commenting on the Braves' win in the opener of the 1958 World Series, said he threw more fast balls in the 10-inning triumph than he ordinarily does. " "We didn't plan it that way," battery-mate Del Cran dall said. "But we adopted the pattern when the Yankees started getting in front of Spahnie's fast ball."'

Lehi IV Pup Starts Navy Life Honolulu -4UPD- Tangaroa, the mongrel pup who sailed with the raft Lehi IV on its 69-day crossing from Calif ornia to Hawaii, cast his lot with the Navy. Tangaroa put his paw mark on shipping articles as the 273 officers and men of the navy tanker, Kawishiwi, stood at attention. A self-appointed quarter master corps on the tanker immediately set about outfit ting him with a set of uni forms, a sea chest, an ID card and a liberty pass. Tangaroa, whose name means Sea God, was rescued from an animal shelter in Southern California and tak en aboard the Lehi IV as mas cot by Devere Baker, skipper of the raft. The dog faced execution on his arrival in Hawaii because neither Baker nor his crew could afford to keep him in quarantine. Capt. Earle G. Gardner Jr., commander of the Kawishiwi, came to the fescue and agreed to take the dog aboard as mascot.

" Crater Club Tunes For Caveman dash Central Point - Crater high Comets sought more life, zest and spark today as they wrap ped up preparations for the Grants Pass, Cavemen. The two schools meet here at 8 pjn. Friday in the open ing football scuffle of the Southern Oregon conference. Coach Leonard Warren in dicated that the Comets lack ed "oomph" in both offensive and defensive drills yester day. He added, however, that hard work of two days coup led with the warm weather could have contributed to the lack of zip and fire. One of the main efforts of the Crater squad this week has been to work at strength ening its defenses which fal tered disastrously against Redmond. The Comets have sought also to adjust to likely loss of key players through injury. "Most seriously hobbled are quarterback Wayne Allen, an offensive kingpin and a top defensive man, and tackle Bryson LaCasse. Each has a knee injury and both appear to be sidelined for the Cave man tussle. End Tom White had a puffed up knee and quarterback Gary Johnson a charleyhorse but both may be okeh for Friday action. Tackle Doug Davis turned an ankle last night. Eldred, Gillaspey Shine On the bright side this week has been the work of backs Jim Eldred and Don Gillaspey in practice.. As starters- Warren may call on Harold Twedell and White or Roscoe Day, ends; Dave Brown and Davis or Glen Cote, tackles; George, Hunt and Tom Turner or Lar ry Ryerson, guards; Bill White, center; Loyal Higin botham, quarters; Bob ''Fow ler, left half; Kerman Ben nett, fullback, and Allen Barnes or Dean Lamp, right half. On defense it could be Cote and Darrell Williamson ends; Hunt- and Turner, at tackles; Brown and Davis, guards; Bill White, Fowler and Bennett, linebackers, and Higinbotham and Eldred, halfbacks'. Grants Pass, with the re turn of right halfback Jack Dean, is expected to be its strongest of the season.
