8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Monday, October 6, 1958 Spahn Hurls Milwaukee Into 3-1 Series Lead With Two Hitter Blame For Loss Taken By Siebern New York-aPIThe Mil waukee Braves are "in" so far as Brondway bookies are concerned. They are not accepting any more Milwaukee mon ey on the Braves winning the World Series but are offering 5-1 odds to those bettors who still feel the Yankees can win the cham pionship. For today's fifth game, the Yankees were favored at 13-10 in man-to-man betting.

By FRED DOWN United Press International New York - (UPD - Warren Spahn won his duel with Whitey Ford and Norm Sie bern lost his duel with the sun. That's the story of Sun day's 3-0 victory in which the Milwaukee Braves took a 3-1 game lead over the New York Yankees, virtually clinching their second straight world -championship. Spahn, the 37-year-old "old pro" who is the only left hander in baseball history to win 20 games in nine dmer ent seasons, enjoyed pernaps the greatest day of his career. And Siebern, a za-year-oia native of Wellston, Mo., solved what Casey Stengel likes to . call his "left field problem" suffered through what undoubtedly will be the worst day of his still-budding career. , "Spahn was absolutely tre mendous," said Milwaukee Manager Fred Haney. "He had his fast ball and his con trol was perfect." "I blew three fly balls and that was the game," said the disconsolate Siebern. "I lost the game for Ford." Pitches Two-Hitter Spahn, who won last Wednesday's 10-inning open er, 4-3, pitched a magnificent two-hitter and faced only 31 batters in fashioning his sec ond win over the Yankees of this serie? and raising his ca reer series record to 4-2. The only hits off him were, a fourth-inning 450-foot triple by Mickey Mantle and a seventh-inning single to center field by Bill Skowron. "Mickey hit a fast ball and Skowron hit a change-up," said Spahn. Mantle's triple produced the only threat against Spahn because it came with one out in the fourth and forced the Milwaukee southpaw to face Skowron and Yogi Berra with the "lead" run on third and only ne out. He retired Skowron on an easy tap to the mound and got past the inning when second baseman Red Schoendienst made a great play on Berras line drive bid for a hit. Berra Slows Down Berra connected sharply with one of Spahn's deliveries and drove it on a line toward right field. Schoendienst, one of the "goats" of Saturday's 4-0 loss to the Yankees, leaped high, appeared to have caught the ball on the fly, let it drop but recovered in time to throw out Berra by a step. Berra admitted in the club house that he slowed down in the baseline When it ap p e a r e d Schoendienst had made the catch arid that prob ably cost the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Ford, meanwhile, was matching zeroes with Spahn until the sixth inning which Schoendienst opened with a long high fly to left center fipiri Tt looked like a routine ooth v.nt the fall fell be-J tween Siebern and Mantle for a triple and Schoendienst scored the game's first run when shortstop Tony Kubek, playing in close, let Johnny Logan's grounder go through his legs for an error. Loses Fly Ball a walk to Del Crandall and Andy Pafko's double set the stage for Siebern's next defensive lapse. With the in field drawn in, Spahn lifted a pop fly to short left field. The ball appeared catchable, so much so that Pafko held up at second, but it dropped for a single and the Braves were in front, 2-0. Siebern's third lapse came in the eighth when he lost Lo I w r 4 WHEELING AND THROWING to Braves firstbaseman Frank Torre,' Milwaukee pitcher Bob Rush retires Bill Skowron (14) on his bunt in front of the plate in the third inning of the third World Series game in Yankee Stadium.

Spahn Says His Control More Keen (Warren Spahn's - two-hit rictory ovr th Yankees Sunday gare the Braves a - three game to one lead in the World Series. He tells of his impressions, of the game in the following dispatch.) By WARREN SPAHN Written for UPI New York -UPD- Only one more now, and I think my roommate, Lew Burdette, can get it. I heard a lot of comments about all the fast balls I threw today. It seems some body got the impression that I can't throw anything but junk. Well, somebody is gross ly misinformed. Actually, I pitched the same type of game Sunday as I did on opening day in Mil waukee. The chief difference was my control was much sharper than it was in the first game. Of the two hits the Yan kees got off me, one came on a fast ball' and the other on a change-up. Mickey Mantle hit' the fast ball for a triple in the fourth inning and Bill Skowron picked on a change for his single in the seventh. After Mantle hit his triple, I worked particularly care fully on the nxt hitter, Skowron, because there was only one out and still no score in the game. I got Skowron to hit back to me with a change. Then Red Schoendienst got Us out of the inning with his great play on Yogi Berra. That might have been the turning point of the ball game right there. I'll say one thing, I sure was glad to see Red come up with that ball. That Schoendienst is a dandy. There was no special rea son why I threw as many fast balls as -I did. Through the first few innings, I was rely ing most heavily on my change but as the game went along, I used the fast ball quite a bit.. I don't exactly know how many pitches I made -probably somewhere near 95 or 100 - but I'm not so tired that I couldn't pitch again if I had to. If they need me in relief today, I'm ready. But I'm hop ing it won't be necessary. With Lew out there on the mound, I have a hunch it won't be. Birdie Not Revealing New Post By NORMAN MILLER New York -(UPD- Birdie Tebbets Says he's not going to Milwaukee, so Fred Haney can relax. Tebbetts' next baseball job is the most closely guarded secret of the World Series. The mystery has reached such proportions it has even spawn ed the whisper that Haney will' quit as manager, of the Braves should Birdie get a job in the Milwaukee front office. Tebbetts professes to know nothing about this rumor. He discreetly shies away from giving any hint of his destin ation, and he studiously, av oids the World Series clan so that he cannot possibly be embarrassed by any wild guesses. . Emphatic But he is emphatic on two points: ' 1. "I'm not going to Mil waukee." ; 2. "If I ever take another managing job, , I'll kiss your mothef-in-law in Macy's win dow." Haney's objection to Teb betts is said to be based on two factors. For one, there hasn't been much love lost between the two in recent years. This stems largely from Tebbets' blatann charg es that Lew Burdette threw a spitball. Then, too, Haney feels that after winning two straight pennants - and possibly two World Series in a row-he does not deserve to have another manager breathing over his shoulder. And So the latest specula tion on where Tebbetts is headed centers on the Pitts burgh Pirates and the Chicago Cubs. The fiery, former Cincin nati manager already has con firmed that he has been given a new executive job in base ball. , WINKING GOOD NATTJREDLY, Roy Campanella, former Dodger catcher, sees third World Series game between Yanks and Braves. Seated with the one-time great back stop are his wife and son, Tony. Campy was injured, partially paralyzed in auto crash. Braces can be seen on his neck. Crowd gave him tremendous ovation.

O'Dell of Baltimore or Dick Hyde of Washington to bolster their pitching staff in 1959. The United Press Interna tional learned that the Yan kees already have begun ne gotiations for both pitchers. To get O'Dell, a 25-year-old left-hander who had a 14-11 record for, the. Orioles this season, the Yankees may have to give up either Gil Mc Dougald or Tony Kubek. Despite the recent, acquisi tion of Chico Car'rasquel from Kansas City, the Orioles still are in desperate need of a top-flight . shortstop. Foster Castleman, Willy Miranda and Ronnie Hansen all play ed the position for Baltimore this year, but not one of them were able to hit in acceptable big league fashion. Reluctant -' The Yankees are reluctant to give up McDougald . even though he slumped to .250 this year. Baltimore probably would accept Kubek but would insist that a pitcher be thrown in also. O'Dell is considered one of the finest pitching prospects in the American league and Casey Stengel has had an eye on him long before his fine showing in the All-Star game at Baltimore last July. Hyde, a 30-year-old sub marine ball pitcher, was one of the few bright spots in Washington this year. As a reliever, he won 10 games and lost only three. Some of the Yankees, aft er batting against him, came back to the bench and ex tolled his pitching virtues to Stengel. "Never mind," Stengel told his hitters. "I can see for my self how rough he is." An average of 22,622,000 acres-an area larger than the state of Maine-was struck by forest fires each year in the U. S. between 1940 and 1950.

The Mustang got both goals on passes, Randy Miller to Rick Illian for 13 yards and Abe Kirkpatrick to Illian for 15 yards. Kirkpatrick chucked to Jim Owens for the one bonus point. A fumble recovery on the SM 30-yard line set up the first score and Malin had its TD six plays later. For the second marker the Mustangs took over on the Crusader 27 when St. Mary's gamble for a needed yard on fourth down failed. The Klamath county crew gained to the 24 but was put back to the 29 for delay ing the game. Another play gained a yard and a pass put the ball on the 15. The touch down scored , on the next try, Five Fumbles Lost St. Mary's moved the ball well at times arid on the basis of its passing led in total net scrimmage yardage. But the Crusaders fumbled away op portunities on five occasions. Biggest scoring threat by the Medford club carried it to the Malift two yard line in the closing part of the ruckus but the Crusaders lost the ball on downs on the three. In the third quarter a fumble yielded the pigskin after reaching the 17- , The Crusaders stopped three Malin drives with in terceptions. A 33-yard pass play put the Mustangs on the eight-yard line in the first quarter . but the SM club tossed its foe back to the 17 before the first interception. In the same stanza Malin got to the SM 17 but was set back to the 22 for, offside before Tom Tomjack of the Crusad ers interrupted a pass. In the fourth panel Roger Hout snared the ball for the Med fordites after the Mustangs had gone to the SM 31. The Medford gang had 229 yards from rushing to 200 for Malin. St. Mary's had 134 in passing and 95 rushing to 85 in the air and 115 on the earth. First downs were 14 to 12 for Malin. - St. Mary's had pass comple tions of 20 and 40 yards on its biggest drive and one aerial picked up 33 for Malin.

But she comforted herself with the claim to five world records in the. gruelling swim which began at 12:41 a.m. (PST) Saturday and ended at 3:34 a.m. Sunday.
