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.

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

Duck Injuries
Cause Concern
Eugene' ' (UPD Oregon
Coach Len Casanova was con
cerned today with the' condi
tion of four Webfobf regulars
who came out of the Okla
homa game Saturday with in
juries. Halfback Charlie Tourville
received a broken nose, Dave
Grosz sprained the thumb on
his passing hand, guard Joe
Schaffeld suffered a hip in
jury and fullback Marian
Holland was nursing a badly
bruised leg.
Tourville was expected to
see action against Southern
California this Saturday but
Casanova said it would be
midweek before there would
be any definite word on
Schaffeld, Grosz and Hol
land. About 1000 rooters welcom
ed the Ducks back to Eugene
at midnight Saturday after
they allowed awesome Oklar
noma only a 6-0 victory.
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.

NY Already
bickering
For Hurlers
By MILTON RICHMAN
- New York -(UPD- The New
York Yankees already are
dickering today for either
Billy. 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.

Medford 13 to 0 in a District
5B football encounter here.
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.

2 Ways on Same Swim
Long Beach-flJPD-Greta An
derson, 30-year-old long-distance
swimmer who once was
told she would never swim
again, today held the record
as the first person to cross
the Catalina Channel both
ways in the same swim.-
"If I knew what I was in
for, I wouldn't have done it,"
the powerfully built house
wife said -Sunday after more
than1 27 hours in "the cold
channel waters.
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.
By swimming the 21-mile
channel in both directions
with , but brief minute rest
at the end of the first lap,
she had become the first per
son ever to complete the feat.
Her time of 10 hours and 49
minutes, 41 seconds broke the
old men's and women's rec
ords set in 1952 by Tom Park
and Florence Chadwick.
The Danish-born housewife
completed the return trip
across the stretch of water
in 15 hours and 36 minutes,
breaking the woman's mark
for that direction.
The blonde housewife, a
1948 Olympic gold medal win
ner for her native Denmark,
underwent a knee operation
after a swimming injury sev
eral years and was told she
would never swim again.
