    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

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-

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

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.

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.

He's Won
His Letter
Johnny Logan, yanked

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.

Lew Ready
To Oppose
Yanks Again
By DAN HANLEY JR.
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.
The flag of Liberia, pat
terned after Old Glory, has
one large star instead of 48
small ones.
