Yankees Nod on Milwauk - (tPD - The Yankees, the betling choice for every previous game of the 1958 World Series, held that honor to the end. The American league champions were "even-11" favorites for today's seventh and decisive meet ing with the Braves. Yan kee rooters must lay $11 to win $10 under this profes sional point "spread." Mil waukiee backers must lay $10 to win $10 even money. These quotations were based on the assumption that Don Larsen would be New York's starting pitcher and Lew Burdette would open for the Braves. ' Milwaukee-CPD-The World Series was stretched to seven games after all because of a big Yankee inning and the three-pitch relief pitching of bullet Bob Turley. . Turley came out of the bull pen for only one out Wednes day to save a 4-3 victory for New York over the Milwau kee Braves and even the se ries at three games each. The Yankees had given re lief ace Ryne Duren a 4-2 lead with two runs in their half of the 10th, but the fireballer from Cazenovia, Wis., had lost one of the runs and Braves were on first and third when Turley, who kept the Yan kees alive with a 7-0 victory Monday, was summoned from the bullpen. At that explosive moment there wre two men out and two men on with the bounc ing Braves, needing but one more run to tie it up, snooting to close it out. Aaron at Third Hank Aaron strained eager ly on third base and pinch runner Felix Mantilla waited on first. Turley, a comeback winner himself in that big fifth con test, strode in and took oyer. He hardly broke a sweat. "Bullet Bob" reared back and fired a strike across the heart of the plate. Torre fouled one off and on Turley's third de livery Torre lofted a soft line drive which Gil McDou gald took on a timed run to his right and the ball game was over. Thus the Yankees were even with the defending world champion Braves after being down three games to one. Only one club in baseball's long history has ever come back from that deficit to win the title. Most of the game's big mo ments occurred in the 10th. McDougald Homers McDougald, whose final hunting & Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL Many deer hunters, are com plaining about the tinder-dry woods for this opening of the 1958 deer, season. Some nice bucks have been taken but most of them were taken soon after the season opened. Un til we get a little rain the rest of the deer will be pretty much spooked. FISHING SLOVS Fishing during the past week has generally slowed en the river. The large run reported entering the mouth at Gold Beach seems to have "kegged" up along the way somewhere and hasn't reached the valley as yet. Last week when I was in Agnes I talked with a num ber of "through to the coast" guides and they re ported that fish were scat tered all along the river and didn't seem to be mov ing. This is probably due lo the low and extremely clear water. COULD STAND MOVE Incidentally I took the trip down the river because of the manv reDorts of the excellent fly fishing in the Illahe, Agnes area. As usual by the time I arrived the fishing had slack ed off in fact the natives said it was poor. I haven't had the opportunity to experience the "cfnod" fishine down there but if taking 14 steelhead on fly during two evenings and. one ; mornine session is considered ; poor then I could stand some l ot this! These steelies are the small er variety that preceed the bie fish. If the big fish rut as hard and fight us hard as their smaller cousins I don't know how an angler could hold them in that fast water may be they don't! As is customary with steelhead, they do not seem to hit flies excpet when thp sun is off the water so it limits the angling to about 2V2 hours in the morning ana the same time in the evening. SLICK MOSS -"Most of the fishing i Square Splurge putout stowed it away, also had started the winning rally. They were all tied at 2 to 2 when he stepped up and de livered a lead-off home run in the 10th off Warren Spahn, the 37-year-old southpaw who twice had beaten the Yankees and was shooting for the same route-going triple which Bur dette posted last year. Spahn retired the next two hitters and then the roof fell in. Elston Howard singled. Yogi Berra singled to send Howard or to third and that's when Haney decided Spahn was through. He called" on his fast-balling relief, ace, Don McMahon, to put out the fire. It wasn't to be. Big Moose Skowron, in a slump' at sea son's end, slashed out a sin gle which scored Howard with what was to prove the win ning run. McMahon then got Duren on strikes. Duren, who fanned eight of the first 16 batters he faced, started to close it out in the 10th when he got Red Schoen dienst on a ground ball. But then on a 3 and 2 count to shortstop Johnny Logan, plate umpire Charles Berry of the American league called the next pitch ball four, with all the Yankees protesting. Then it was Eddie Mathews Spahn Declares He Did Not Tire Milwaukee - (UPD - A casual visitor arriving in the 10th inning of Wednesday's World Series game would have thought Warren Spahn had won it. The Milwaukee Braves' veteran left-hander was walk ing off the mound to a stand ing ovation. But instead of winning, he lost. The New York Yankees had taken a 3- 2 lead and went on to win,: 4- 3, and even the classic at three games each. - - - A- quick check of the rec ord, however, would explain the accolade given the 37-year old pitcher. He had won two games and came close to join ing teammate Lew Burdette and a handful of others with three wins in one series. Just how close he came was the topic of discussion in the Braves' quiet dressing room after the game. "I didn't think I tired and felt I could have gone all the way," Spahn said. "But you can't be selfish about these things with the game hinging on every - pitch. Haney said it was time to leave so it was time to leave. And I had con fidence in Mac (Don Mc Mahon), who took my place." REES done from ' boats with - a guide but there are plenty of good wading spots if one can stand up on that super lubricant they call moss! I have waded miles of streams including the Mad ison in Montana which I consider one of the slickest but this lower Rogue has them all beat. This gave me a good op portunity lo try out a new type of wading sandle orig inated in Grants Pass and stocked by several sport shops. Sole With Calks This wader is simply a rub ber-sole -with' logger's calks, toe straps and heel plate which attaches very quickly to any type of footwear. It is superior to logger's boots (which most waders agree is the best to date) because it is flexible and fits the con tour of the surface under the foot. I had the opportunity to wade the same water with a native in the lower river who was wearing boots. It was agreed that these flexible sole calks were far better. Besides selling for about one third the price they are much more versatile. It is my opinion that this is the finest article for wading that has been pro duced and I would highly rec ommend them to anyone who is tired of slipping and sliding around our slick streams. DUSK PROSPECTS The prospects for a bumper opening day for the duck sea son is good with many reports drifting in that the Klamath basin is "loaded" with birds. But, like many good reports some blue bird weather can put these birds higher than the proverbial kite after the first barrage. The best hunt ing should be found on the upper marshes where thous ands of birds have been seen. Don't forget your duck stamp!

Although he needed relief, he was cred ited with the Yanks' 4-3 win over the Braves in 10 innings. He tells of his im pressions in the following dispatch.) By RYNE DUREN Written For UPI Milwaukee (UPD I never worked so hard in my life and my only regret is that I couldn't finish. . Much as I would have liked to, though, I'll go with Casey Stengel's decision any time. I simply kept firing away un til I got tired. When I started to lose it in the 10th inning, I and Casey knew it. Striking out Wes Coving ton, Bill Bruton and Warren Spahn in the ninth must have taken more out of me than I thought. Casey came out to the mound in the 10th for the first time after Hank Aaron had singled home Johnny Lo gan. I had thrown Aaron one of the best pitches and he really tomahawked it. Anyway, Case asked me how I intended to pitch to Joe Adcock. I told him I was going to try to keep the ball low on him. That's what I did and Adcock singled. Adcock Hit Does It Adcock's base hit finished me and brought on Bob Tur ley, who wound it all up by getting pinchhitter Frank Torre. Although I gave up only one hit until the 10th, it was a very rough day for me. The humidity along with the pers piration from my forehead clouded my eyeglasses all the time I was pitching. You may have seen me wipe my glasses once or twice. That was the reason. They asked me about some gesture I made to plate um pire Charley Berry when he called a fourth ball on John ny Logan in the 10th. Frankly I don't remember doing it. But I do know that I told him I thought the pitch was a strik, not a ball. Getting credit for today s (Wednesday's) victory is about the biggest thing that's ever happened to me. When you're down in the minors, you dream about something like this. But you never figure it will happen. You can bet I'll never for get this one. Casey Stengel Will Be Back Milwaukee - (UPD - Win or lose, Casey's coming back next year. Casey Stengel's managerial contract with the Yankees expires this season, and there has been speculation, parti cularly since the club has made no announcement about next year, that the 68-year-old pilot might call it a career if he is beaten again . by the Braves. He is completing his 10th year with the team. "Nonsense!" Stengel snort ed when the subject was broached. "There's a lot of work to be done with this club next spring, but I don't wanna talk ' about contracts or any thing." Stengel's contract with the Yankees has been on a so called "mutual agreement" basis for the past few years, meaning Casey can give the club notice of quitting as well as it can fire him. He's 'not about to quit, though, nor are the Yankees about to let him go even if Milwaukee wins. Sweden's output of steel has doubled since World War II to a total of 1,720,000 mil lion tons. SPORTS Just 60 Seconds is all we have tonight at 7:30 on Television to make a startlinp announcement. BARKER'S 4-3 Inning bed out the mark posted by Bill Abstein of the Pirates in 1909. Fearing nothing now, Sten gel ordered Duren to go into his full windup as he pitched to Hank Aaron. On the first pitch, Logan scooted uncon tested down to second. Then Aaron lined a single to left and Logan raced on home. Now the Yankee margin was only one run and that one out they needed began to loom larger and larger. It became mountainous when Joe Adcock stepped to the plate. Stengel went to the mound to confer with Duren. "What are you planning to throw to this guy?" Stengel asked. "Low stuff," Duren replied. "Okay," said Stengel, leav ing him in. But Adcock got hold of one of those low balls and drilled it to left field for a single which sent Aaron charging to third. With right-handed hitting catcher Del Crandall coming up, Stengel called in Turley from the bullpen. Haney countered with Torre but Turley countered with his knockout punch.
