Stengel Stands Up
For Yankee Players
Milwaukee (tPI Thi
Yankees were 6-5 favorites
to win today's sixth game
of the World Series.
However, the Braves,
holding a 3-2 lead in victor
ies, remained 3-1 favorites
lo win the series.
The oddsmakers announ
ced various "conditional"
prices on the sixth game,
depending on Casey Sten
gel's pitching nomination,
but conceded the Yankees
a slight edge.
By MILTON RICHMAN
Milwaukee-IUPD- If the Yan
kees lose this World Series,
Casey Stengel says, "Blame it
on me."
Never one to criticize his
players publicly, even when
.they sometimes deserve it,
Stengel said today he was
ready to take full responsi
bility for a decision which
could wind up the series in
Milwaukee's favor.
The big decision, Casey ex
plained, was which man to
name as his pitcher for to
day's game.
"Nobody can help me in
this," he said softly, without
trying to dramatize the situa
tion. "I know that everything
depends on it and I gotta
come up with the right choice.
If I don't, poof! We're all
done."
Throughout the entire ser
ies, Stengel never has put the
rap on any of his players, al
though it was obvious he was
not always pleased with their
performance.
In the fourth game, for ex
ample, when Yogi Berra's
hesitance in running out a
smash to Red Schoendienst
Milwaukee
Fans Used
To Winning
By RAY W. DOHERTY
Milwaukee -UPD- They're
growing accustomed to the
pace.
This seems to be the new
rapport between the Milwau
kee baseball fans and their
winning Braves, who have
reached a crucial sixth game
stage in the 1958 World Ser
ies. "It appears that fans of
the Milwaukee Braves are
taking a lot for granted," a
psychologist told United Press
International about the root
ers who practically tore the
city apart after last year's
pennant cliching and World
Series victories.
"They're used to the Braves
winning now and the novelty
has worn off," the psycholo
gist said.
Police Work Easier
This opinion was confirm
ed by Police Deputy Inspec
tor Raymond Dahl, who
handled officer assignments
to control crowds when the
play of the Braves touches off
riotous celebrations.
"Definitely, the crowd re
sponse hasn't been as great
this year as it was in 1957,"
said Dahl, who added that
"it's made our work a lot
easier."
One Milwaukee newspaper
the Journal suggested that
Milwaukee fans "are growing
up, and beginning, like other
fans, to cheer winners."
Things have reached such a
state that a person can back
another team-even the Yan-
kees-without any obvious re
criminations.
Fans Still Love Team
This is strange. In the years
since the Braves moved here
from Boston, Milwaukeeans
have won world-wide reputa
tion for their partisanship,
for their inclination to ap
plaud the local team for even
mediocre plays.
At the first two series
games here, there was ap
plause for Yankee plays.
This is not to say that peo
ple here don't love the
Braves as much as ever. But
they're becoming more soph
isticated in how they show
their loyalty.

Milwaukee- iTPfl -Mickey
Mantle came up with a
"dark horse" candidate for
the Yankees starting pitcher
today.
Mantle said, "I know who
I'd pitch if I were the man
ager. When asked who, the
Yankee center fielder said:
"Me."
Mantle throws an excel
lent knuckle-ball and is re
ported to be faster than a
number of regular pitchers.
might have cost the Yankees
an all-important run, Stengel
steadfastly sided with his vet
eran catcher.
Excused Siebern's Errors
Casey again came to the de
fense of one of his men when
a wave of criticism was direct
ed at Norm Siebern's fielding
deficiencies during that same
fourth game.
"Siebern feels badly enough
without me harping on it,"
said the Yankee manager. "Go
out there in left field at Yan
kee stadium and see how
tough it is to catch a ball!"
"He happens to be a mighty
fine ball player, regardless of
anything. Very few people
know that no one on this
club-that's right I said no
one - has a better eye at the
plate than Siebern with the
possible exception of Enos
Slaughter.
Once in a while, a Yankee
player may have a critical
word about Stengel but for
the most part, they're rather
fond of him.
It figures, because he al
ways goes to bat for them.
Braves Not
Unhappy
Over Logan
By ED SAINSBURY
Milwaukee (LTD Nobody's
awarded any accolades to
Johnny Logan, the efferve-'
scent shortstop of the Milwau
kee Braves, but when the hits
and runs are counted this
week, he's going to be an im
portant entry in the Braves'
World Series book.
So far he's made only
three hits in 19 times at bat
in the series for an anemic
.158 average. But he's batted
in two runs and an error by
Tony Kubek, the New York
Yankees' shortstop, on anoth
er grass skimmer by Logan
brought in another and an
important run.
It's the timeliness of Lo
gan's hits that count. Only
three Milwaukee players have
driven in three runs, and only
three others have driven in
two. Yet 10 players on the
roster, including pitcher War
ren Spahn, boast better bat
ting averages.
More Hits
"I'd like to get three' or
four more hits," Logan said
today, "just to get the average
up to two hundred and some
thing. Nobody's going to re
member how many runs you
drove in, or how important
the hits were. They're just
going to look at the figures
and judge you on that."
But neither the Braves nor
Manager Fred Haney were
complaining about Logan's
records. In the first game Lo
gan doubled and died on base.
But in the second, he hit a vi
tal two-run single in the
Braves' seven-run first inning,
and in the fourth game at
New York; his grass skimmer
produced his most important
run of the series.
The blow came when War
ren Spahn was holding the
Yankees scoreless, but the
Braves hadn't scored either,
and when Kubek couldn't
make the play, Red ,'Schoen
dienst came home with the
first run of the game.
"I just knew I had to get
him home," Logan said. "I
felt that if we could get
Spahn just one run, he'd win
it."
WATCHING FOUL by Johnny Logan. Milwaukee's leadoff
hitter in fourth inning of fourth World Series game at Yankee
Stadium, New York, Bill Showron is backed up by Gil Mc
Dougald, Yankees' second baseman. Skowron caught foul
about 20 feet behind first base. Braves won 3-0.

SL Cards,
SF Giants
Tell Swap
San Francisco-(UPD-"This is
only the beginning," the front
office of the San Francisco
Giants announced today after
completing a five-player swap
with the St. Louis Cardinals.
The Giants received pitcher
Billy Muffett, catcher Hobbie
Lendrith and infielder Ben
Valenzuela in return for pitch
ers Marv Grissom and Ernie
Broglio.
A club spokesman said that
other deals would be com
pleted within the next 10
days. He said that the key
figures in Tuesday's trade
were Broglio and Muffett.
The club prized Muffett's re
lief pitching ability over Bro
glio's potential as a starter,
the spokesman explained.
Muffett, a 27-year-old right
hander, had a 4-6 record and
a 4.93 earned-run mark for
the Cards this year. Broglio,
23, of El Cerrito played at
Phoenix of the Pacific Coast
.League and Toronto in the In
ternational League this year
and had a combined record
of 13 wins and 3 losses.
Grissom, a 40-year-old vet
eran who came to the Giants
in 1953, had a 7-5 record this
year and a 4.02 ERA. He com
piled a 31-23 mark during his
career with the Giants.
Valenzuela, 25-year-old na
tive of Mexico, played at
Omaha in the American Asso
ciation. The fleshy infielder
hit .284 with 13 home runs
and 72 runs batted in.
Landrith, 28, hit ..215 in 63
games for the Cards this year.
His arrival gave the Giants'
three catchers including Lan
drith, Valmy Thomas and
Bob Schmidt.
There was speculation that
one of the three receivers
might be traded with one or
two of the Giants' fine young
outfielders to the Chicago
Cubs soon. The Cubs would
deal the Giants one of their
pitchers in return, possibly
Dick Drott or Moe Dra-bowsky.
There were 64,754,000 tele
phones in use in the United
States as of June 30, 1958.
