MILWAUKEE USES BIG FIRST TO KNOCKOUT YANKEES 13-5 Seven-Hit Fray Hurled By Burdette New Yorlc-TPC-Not even the weaiherman can make up his mind about Satur day's probable forecast for the third game of the World Series. The early prediction was "cloudy and cool, with a chance of rain." That was changed early today to "mostly fair and mild." By RAY W. DOHERTY United Press International Milwaukee -ftPD- The Mil waukee Braves battered five New York pitchers for 15 hits, including home runs by Billy Bruton and Lew Burdette, to bury the Yankees, 13-5, in the worst World Series defeat in 37 years for the American league champions. The Braves bombed Bullet Eob Turley off the mound in the very first inning when they scored seven lies, send ing 10 men to the plate. It took two other pitchers, Duke Maas and Johnny Kucks to finally subdue the war pathing Braves in that inning. The rest of the game was for fun, with Burdette. the three time Yankee kill of 1957, putting down the Yankees in order in six of the nine in nings. Opens With Homer Billy Bruton, who won Wednesday's first game with a 10th inning single, opened' the first with a homer over the right field screen. Red Schoendienst followed with a double and the carnage was started. Turley struck out Ed die Mathews, but Hank Aaron walked and Wes Covington singled for another run if chase the American League's top winner this year from the mound. Maas got Frank Torre to fly out before Crandall walked to load the bases. Little Johnny Logan, who had one of his worst seasons at bat this year, then singled to drive in two more runs. Up strode Burdette, whose scoreless string against - the Yankees had been broken at 24 1-3 innings in the opening frame. The lanky pitcher, who hit four homers during season play," socked a Maas fast ball over the left-center-field screen to make the score a shocking 7-1. Lew Almost Kayoed Out went Mass and in came Kucks. He got Bruton to end the inning by lining out. The Yankees not only broke Burdette's scoreless string in the first, but they threatened to drive him to cover when Hank Bauer led off with his single, Mathews threw wildly to first on Gil McDougald's grounder and Mickey Mantle was purposely passed, filling the bases with none out. Elston Howard forced Man tle at second with his ground er,, Bauer scoring. But Yogi Berra rapped into a speedy double play to end the threat. Burdette almost didn't make it again in the ninth, when the Yankees got four of their seven hits. Bauer led off with a homer. McDougald singled and then Mantle got his sec ond homer of the day and his 11th in Series competition. Norm Siebern got the fourth straight hit, but the fidgety right-hander steadied to get the next three batters and end the game. Pour It On Although the Braves' first inning was the knockout punch, they kept beating the stiffened Yankees. In the second, Mathews doubled and scored on a sin- FREE MOUHTIHG WE STORE YOUR REGULAR TIRES ibiiv SPORTS LEW BURDETTE Pitches Braves Triumph gle by Covington. In the seventh, successive hits by Aaron, Covington and Torre and a sacrifice fly by Crandall produced two more runs. ' In the eighth, a walk to Bruton and three hits in a row by Schoendienst, Math ews and Aaron yielded the final three. The Yankees, up to the ninth, were impotent before Burdette except for Mantle's homer in the fourth. When it was over, Burdette had become the first pitcher ever to beat the Yankees four games in a row in Series play.

WEATHER UD SNOW RAIN SLEET- FISK TIRES NY Not Desperate, Stengel Maintains New Yorfc-IUPD-Bob Rush. 32, a right-hander who never before has played in the World Series, today was named to start Satur day's game of the classic for the Milwaukee Braves against Don Larsen of the New- York Yankees. Rush, who had a 10-6 rec ord this season, came to the Braves last December from the Chicago Cubs in ex change for pitcher Taylor Phillips and catcher Sam Taylor. The f asl-baller spent most of his career in the second division and called his assignment for Saturday "something I've been hoping for all my life." Milwaukee Manager Fred Haney was torn between Rush, rookie Carlton Wil ley, and left-hander Juan Pizarro for his third-game starter,, but finally settled on the bespectacled ex-Cub because of his "greater ex perience." By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor New York - IIIPD - The once proud and mighty New York Yankees came back home to day, wondering what had hit them in the World Series. They were two games down to the Milwaukee Braves in the darkest hours they have known in their tenure as base ball's greatest dynasty. They have been down that far be-fore-but never under such humiliating circumstances. Manager Casey Stengel, who has become synonymous with success since he took over the helm of the Yankees -winning nine pennants in 10 years and seven World Series in eight tries-had an off-day to ponder about things today. "We ain't hitting, we ain't pitching, we ain't playing ball," he mused. "But let me tell you some thing else, we ain't desper ate." Recalls '56 Series He recalled his club lost the first two games to the then Brooklyn Dodgers in 1956 but went on to win the Series. "We still got some pitchers who ought to get them out," he added, declaring that Don Larsen, the big right-hander who pitched the first perfect game in Series history against those Dodgers in 1956, would try to untrack his Yankees when the Series resumes in Yankee Stadium on Saturday -today being, set aside for travel. Manager Fred Haney, feel ing chipper with his 2-0 lead, wouldn't say who he was go ing to start in the third game. "We play 'em one at a time," he added, something he has been saying ever since he started managing in the major leagues. He wouldn't even admit he had the Yankees on the run, but Stengel knew it after the 13-5 shellacking the Yankees CAN DO NO WRONG New York -(UPD- Leo Du rocher, last man ever to engi neer a four-game sweep in a World Series, foresaw the strong possibility today of an other one by the Braves be cause they "act like they can do no wrong." Durocher, now a sports . commentator for NBC, said the Braves remind him "very much" of his 1954 Giants, who knocked" over Cleveland four games in a row in the World Series. . m FISK RANCHER The Tire for HUNTERS.

"I won't know until we get through our workout today," he said. But he was reported lean ing toward Rush, who won 10 and lost six, or Willey, a nine-game winner.

COP CARRIES RADIO Washington (DPD In the middle of the capital's busiest intersectiop, 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, a traf fic policeman halted crossing pedestrians Thursday and grinned: "They're really lay ing it on those Yankees now." Concealed under his uniform coat a pocket portable radio was broadcasting the roar of the Milwaukee crowd as the Braves scored their 13th run against the New York Yankees. to Delivered SP 2-5271 FIRST PfTCH-Southpaw Warren Spahn of the Braves delivers the first pitch of the 1958 World Series, between Braves and Logan Feels He's Won His Letter Johnny Logan, yanked out for a pinch hitter in the ninth inning of Wednes day's game, blasted a first inning single Thursday that proved the "heart" of a seven-run rally and a 13-5 victory for Milwaukee. He tells of his impressions about the game in the fol lowing dispatch. By JOHN LOGAN (Written for UPI) Milwaukee (UPD They jerked me out of there for a pinch-hitter Wednesday, but I guess I won my letter yester day. I sure was disappointed when I got the signal from the bench to come back in and hang up my bat during the ninth inning of the opener. But what could I do? I'm a "yes man" by nature. I do anything the manager tells me. Especially in the World Series. All kidding aside, though, I really felt I redeemed my self when I ripped that sin gle - and it was a real long single-off Duke Maas in the first inning. It scored Hank Aaron and Wes Covington and moved Del Crandall from first ,to third. I couldn't help but feel a little chipper. Yankees Depressed "Congratulations, L o g a n," I said to myself. "Nice to welcome you back on board again." After that first inning, the Yankees seemed depressed to me. Oh, I don't say that, they're dead yet by any means. But at least they must be getting the idea that our victory over them last year was no acci dent. I've been trying to 'tell everyone that apart from be ing a pennant winner, we're one of the strongest clubs to represent the National league in a long time. But you'll al ways run into some know-it-all who keeps yelling we don't belong in the same class with the Yankees. We're not cocky and we're not underestimating the Yan kees. I know, and so do the rest of the fellows, that the sight of Yankee stadium will be a tonic for the Yanks. Bear one thing in mind, though. Thatis where we beat 'em last year.

Milwaukee - (DPD - Lew Burdette, who won fame and fortune by beating the" New York Yankees three times in the 1957 World Series, says he's ready to do it again this year but hopes it won't be necessary.' The loose right-hander said after handing the Yankees a 13-5 defeat in the second game of the 1958 Series: "I don't think I'll get three cracks at them this time." Burdette meant that his triumph Thursday and War ren Spahn's win in the Series opener Wednesday gave the Braves a roaring head start toward their second straight world championship. Not Desperate The Yankees, however, didn't react as desperate men when they hustled into their locker room, stowing away gear for the flight to New York where a change of ball parks might turn the tide of the Series. - :- "Desperate?" snapped man ager Casey Stengel. "Why should I be desperate? The Dodgers had me down two years ago and we changed parks and they lost to me." Stengel said that "natural ly you won't like to have any body get ahead of you" in ihe World Series, but pointed out "we ain't doing any hit ting." Manager Fred Haney, who displayed some cockiness after the Braves' opening day win, was more subdued fol lowing the second victory. He even trotted out his favorite old chestnut - "I'm still play ing 'em one at a time" -when an effort was made to draw him out.
