Haney, his world champion Milwaukee Braves still on top, three games to two, had a well-rested Bob Rush to throw at the New York Yan kees but apparently was un decided whether, to go with Bob Buhl, an 18-game winner in 1957 who was out with an arm injury most of this year. And Stengel, still insisting his Yankees could come on to win the series, had an equally-well-rested Don Lar sen, the perfect game pitcher, ready but wondered whether he could afford to gamble with relief ace Ryne Duren or right-hander Art Ditmar. Announces Pitchers Today Haney, and probably Sten gel, too, probably will an nounce the big decisions this afternoon. Haney said he would reveal his sixth game choice after a Braves' work out. Stengel also indicated he would make up his mind after a night's sleep. Rush, a 10-game winner during the National league season, lost the 4-0 third game decision to Larsen but allowed only two runs in the six innings he worked. Lar sen retired after seven shut out innings and Duren com pleted the game. Duren started only one game for the Yankees this year but Stengel pointed out: "I can just ask him to throw as hard as he can as long as he can and follow him with anybody I need. I've got a lot of pitchers and they've got all winter to rest so no body's going to be spared." It seemed certain, however, that Haney would hold out two-time, winner Warren Spahn for the seventh game -if one is necessary. Stengel breathed defiance despite the still-desperate po sition of the Yankees because he had finally seen the Am erican league champions beat the greatest nemesis in their history. Lew Burdette, in the 7-0 fifth game. "I been saying all along we're not out of this thing," he said. "And I still say we'll win it." Burdette. four times a win ner over the Yankees, finally got his come-uppance Monday when he was kayoed in a six-run sixth-inning rally. He had been hit sharply during the early innings but had al lowed only one run- Gil Mc- Dougald's third-inning homer -until the roof fell in on him In the big sixth. A single by Hank Bauer started the rally and Mickey Mantle followed with a single after Jerry Lumpe tried un successfully to bunt on. the third strike. Yogi Berra's double, a walk and Bill Skowron's single routed Bur dette and brought on Juan Pizarro, who was tagged for a two-run single by Bob Tur ley before he retired the side. Strikes Out Ten Turley, routed in the first inning of the Yankees' 13-5 second-game loss, struck out 10 batters and needed only one outstanding defensive play to see him through the game. That big play came in the top of the sixth after Bill - Bruton led off with a bad-hop single over shortstop Tony Kubek's head. Red Schoen dienst made a bid for a hit with a looping fly to short left center by Elston Howard, subbing for fourth - game fielding "goat" Norm Sie bern, made a brilliant diving catch and converted it into a double play. For S Berra, Yankee catcher. Umpire is John Fla herty. Action was in first inning of fourth World Series game, won by Milwaukee 3-0. lyesteon of Braves, Yanks 8 in After that it was clear sailing for Turley, who mixed up his no-windup delivery with a wide variety of change-ups and fast balls that had - the Braves taking strikes all through the game. It was Turley's second series victory. He beat the Braves, 3-2 in the sixth game last year am Likes Flaying in Braves' Park, Yank Piayer Says Editor's Note-: Gil Me Dougald gave the Yankees their first run with a third inning homer and followed with a lwo-run double in the sixth lo help insure a 7-0 victory over the Braves Monday. In the following dispatch, he tells his im pressions of the game. By GIL McDOUGALD Written for UPI New York-(UPD-I hope we've 1 Magic For Milwaukee Milwaukee (CTD "Our magic number is one and we have two chances at it." That's the attitude of Man ager Fred Haney and his de fending world champion Mil waukee Braves, who are back home to finish out the World Series against the New York Yankees, leading three games to two. Haney isn't alibing the Braves' 7-0 loss to the Yan kees Monday in New York. He keenly wanted to win so he could wrap , up a second straight title on Yankee soil. "But how could we win if we couldn't score?" he said "In the sixth, we had a chance to get going, but El ston Howard -made -the big play and that hurt," Haney said. The Yankees than chas ed their World Series nem esis, Lew Burdette, with a six-run burst in their half of the sixth. Haney and his players were met by a crowd of only about 350 when they arrived by plane Monday night. No for mal greeting had been plan ned, but some of the players seemed surprised by the mea ger turnout. Several thousand met them last year when they returned from the first two series games in New York. Britain Set As Favorite In Tourney St. Andrews, Scotland-flJPD- Based on practice scores, Britain ruled a slight favor ite over the United States to day on the eve of the world amateur golf team champion ship. Twenty-seven other nations also will be represented in the four-day competition start ing Wednesday over the rug ged old course at St. Andrews, but it still shaped up as a close match between the Yanks and those players rep resenting the "home coun tries." None of the Americans were satisfied with their prac tice rounds Monday. Bill Hyndman HI of Philadelphia three-putted six greens and wound up with a 79. Dr, Frank Taylor, Pomona, Calif., Faces Series to keep the Yankees alive. For Burdette, the defeat ended one of the most amaz ing sagas in World Series his tory. Four times he started against the Yankees and four times he won, the greatest record ever compiled against the Yankees in series compe tition. ' got them a little worried now. Most people think the odds are against us now because we have to play the last two games in Milwaukee. I don't see it that way at all. It may surprise you to know that a lot of us, myself included, would rather hit in that Milwaukee ball park than at Yankee Stadium. Why? The fences are a lot easier' to reach. Don't forget we have some pretty good sluggers on our club, too. When that home run lall left my bat in the third in ning, I could tell from the feel in the handle that I had hit it real good. I knew it was going to reach the seats but I was afraid it was going to hook foul. As it turned out, it hit the screen attached to the pole. Both of my hits came on fast balls. For the most part, Lew Burdette was throwing sinkers and sliders. He also has a dandy screwball, or "scroogie" as we call it, but I don't get to see it.. I under stand he throws it only to left-handers. - In my . book, he had just as good stuff Monday as he did in the second game of the World Series when he licked us, 13-5. He was going along pretty good, I thought, until we knocked him out in the sixth. . " The homer I hit made me feel like a million as I was going around the bases. I haven't exactly been wearing out the pitchers in this series. As a matter of fact, I've been in a slump all year long. Maybe I'm finally coming out of it and I couldn't pick a better time. I'm not selling Milwaukee short, though. The Braves have a fine ball club. They've got the pitching, the hitting and a well-balanced line-up against right-handers and left handers. Good as they are, I think we can take them. N Don't buy that business about us being all through because we're moving on to Milwaukee. In case you've forgotten we were stronger on the road this year than we were at home. MEDFORD RATES NO. 2 BY STATE COACHES Portland -(UPDr- Jefferson of Portland held down first place while Medford moved ahead of Marshfield into second place in the weekly Journal coaches' poll. Medford upset Marshfield 3-0 last weekend. Another Coos Bay area power, North eBnd, was in fourth place while surprising shot a 76 with borrowed clubs and Charley Coe, the U.S. Amateur king from Oklahoma City, Okla., admitted to "ap proximately 78." 8 MAIL TRIBUNE, M.dforJ, Oregon, Tuesday, October 7, 1958 Medfor&Tribiine Fundamentals Set For Stanford Drill San Francisco - (UPD - Well, i do so has come as the biggest what's wrong with Stanford? surprise to me," the folksy Coach Jack Curtice took the question like a man at Mon day's weekly confab with the football writers and came up with this answer: "We're not moving the ball enough and our inability to Relief Man May Start In Series Milwaukee -(UPD- Relief ace Ryne Duren notified Casey Stengel today he is ready to pull a Jim Konstanty and start Wednesday's World Se ries game for the Yankees "if that's what they want me to do." In the event 6uren does start against the Braves and Stengel says there's a strong possibility he may it will mark the third time in eight years a manager reached into his bullpen and converted a relief ace into a starter for a World Series con test. Manager Eddie Sawyer of the Phillies caused quite a stir in 1950 when he nominated his No. 1 fireman, Konstanty, to pitch the series opener against the Yankees. Kon stanty gave a fine account of himself although he lost to Vic Raschi, 10. In 1956, Manager Walt Al ston of the Brooklyn Dodgers prolonged the series for another day when he selected the sixth game against the Yankees. Labine topped Bob Turley, 1-0, in 10 innings to force the series to a seventh game. "I'll go as far as I can if they pick me to start," said the bespectacled Duren, who made only one starting ap pearance all year for the Yan kees in the final phase of the season. "It was against Detroit," Duren recalled, "and I didn't do too badly. I went five in nings and shut them out on six hits." Even if Duren starts, Sten gel indicated he would "load his bullpen" with other pitch ers, whom he would call on as soon as be deemed neces sary. "I'll have Art Ditmar, John ny Kucks, Murry Dickson and all the rest of 'em out there if I have to," Stengel ex plained.

"We may cut down to five, plays for the Washington game and con centrate more on fundamen tals." Curtice didn't seem to be kidding, for Monday after noon's practice was highlight ed by his working with the linemen. He showed them dif ferent blocking stances for running plays. Curtice usu ally deals in the razzle dazzle but it has laid an egg since he took over this season at Stan ford. The Indians have lost all three of their games by lop sided margins. Pete Elliott, the young Cal ifornia coach who knows what it is like to be a loser, hailed quarterback Joe Kapp for his all around ability. "Kapp isn't a specialist," Elliott said while recounting how the Bears upset Washing ton State last Saturday, 34-14. "He does everything well. He can run, he can pass and he can kick. So in my book that rates him as high as anybody when people start talking about All - America candi dates." Elliott said that Cal's de fense was the biggest factor in the upset of the Cougars. "Our interior linemen and line-backers tackled well and forced Bob Newman to pass more," Elliott said. "We inter cepted three of Newman's key throws which helped change the outcome." Pete also hailed the tri umph as a "team effort" then apologized for not saying any thing hotter. "I know that's lousy for news but it's the truth," El liott declared. Sonny Ray, Ed Cotton Will Fight New York-fUPD-Sonny Ray, the Chicago light heavyweight who upset contender Jesse Bowdry on a knockout Sept. 24, is slated for another TV fight on this week's boxing schedule.

New System Set For U.S. Golf New York-(UPD-The United States Golf association today announced it will employ a new system of double qualify ing rounds for the 1959 Open championship. The two qualifying rounds will consist of 36-hole medal play events. The USGA said that the new system "is de signed to give improved op portunity for the most cap able players to qualify for the championship." Approximately 2,500 golf ers will tee off at about 70 different courses on Monday, May 18, in the local qualify ing rounds. PER M Fanfare Medford high's football vic tory over Marshfield last Fri day had some added signifi cance for Black Tornado men tor Fred Spiegelberg. Along with it being the first verdict over" the Pirates for a Med ford club under his helm, it was a birthday present. And, what a one it was! LUCKY JERSEY Spiegelberg's son, Scott, wore a pint-sized Medford jersey with a "21" on it at the Marshfield game and the tutor says the boy will have to wear it lo every game from now on as a good luck charm. The jer sey was provided by Sam Van Dyke of Lamport's Sporting Goods (tore. Twenty - one, of course, was the number Jack Mor ris, now a rookie defensive back for the pro Los An geles Rams, made famous on the gridiron for Medford high. You don't see a Med ford player now wearing "21" nor do you find it on the Tornado roster in the programs. Jack's number was retired. Morris has justified this action, which came through efforts of fellow athletes, by stardom at University of Oregon and making the grade as a pro.' MUCH IN EVIDENCE Morris was much in evi dence on the TV screen Sun day as a defensive stalwart in the LA Rams victory over the San Francisco Forty-Niners and his pass interception set ting up a touchdown brought a thrill to his many local fol lowers. We venture that, with Morris in the line-up, the Rams are the favorite pro team for most Medford fans of football. And, some didn't take it too kindly when An nouncer Gil Stratton a couple of Sundays ago credited the ex-Tornado star to Portland. FINAL HORN RELIEF While "defense" was a big word on the field, "sus pense" was the feeling in the grandstand during the Medf ord-Marshf ield tangle. Fans sat there tensely wait ing for some big scoring play to bust loose with the locals, naturally, hoping it w o u 1 d n't be Marshfield. That final horn certainly brought relief to a lot of keyed up emotion. BALL WENT 22 YARDS So far as we can determine, Mike Murray's winning field goal for the Black Tornado against the Pirates of Coos Bay last Friday, will go into the books as a 12-yarder, de termined by the distance be tween the point of the boot and the goal line even though the ball had to travel 22 yards to go over the crossbar at the back of the end zone. CUE FROM PROS Coach Spiegelberg and his staff lake a cue from the Pros in turning to offensive and defensive specialist pla toons. Depth of players on the Medford roster makes this platooning possible. Medford has a good number of players of near equal ability and the platooning system has the fine feature of enabling more boys to play. The real test in pla tooning still lies in its ade Bird Munters . . . . Just 60 miles south of Medford. Shasta Hunt Club (1,500 acres) and Big Spring Hunt Club (2,000 ayes).

Certainly the Marshfield game shows the value. TITLE POTENTIAL After Marshfield high thumped the Klamath Peli cans 47 to 0 at the start of the grid campaign, Wayne Scott of the Herald and News ven tured that the team which beat Marshfield would gain the state championship. He reiterated this stand last week, making it an automatic thing. Well, Medford spilled the Buccaneers of Coos Bay and displayed their state title cap abilities and potential. But, there's still a hard road with many hurdles in the way of championship aspirations. The Black Tornado yet has a full district slate to play, four up set minded teams to meet, just to reach A-l quarter-finals. It's not very automatic. Nevertheless, a second game this season, at Medford, be tween the Tornado and Marsh field is a distinct possibility, should Medford move by Cra ter, Klamath Falls, Ashland and Grants Pass in District 6 and Marshfield regain its hon ors in District 5, the two clubs would be Oregon quarter final rivals. And, if it comes about, what a game it should be! Male mosquitoes are per fectly harmless. It's the fe male who does the biting.
