WAITING FOR PITCH to his liking, John
ny Logan, Milwaukee Braven, loosens grip
on bat as wide ball heads toward Yogi
Mana

Ixfh
Milwaukee (LTD To
gamble or not to gamble-
that's the question that con
fronts rival managers Fred
Haney and Casey Stengel to
day when' they name their
starting pitchers for the sixth
game of the World Scries.
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.

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.

Based on practice scores,

ship. Twenty-seven other nations
also will be represented in
the four-day competition start
ing Wednesday over the rug

For Burdette, the defeat

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.

Ryne Duren notified Casey
Stengel today he is ready to
pull a Jim Konstanty and

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

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

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

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

throws which helped change
the outcome."
Pete also hailed the tri

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

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!
