Newspaper Page TextYankees Splurge in 8th Isisiisig To Regain ; lUorld Diamond He Stengel Says Series Victory Hardest Ever By LEO H. PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Milwaukee (UPL It's the New York Yankees on top of the baseball world again. They got back there Thurs day when they beat the Mil waukee Braves, 6-2, in the fi nal and deciding game of the 1958 series. They picked themselves off the floor and did it the hard way. Torre Gets Goat Horns Milwaukee, Wis. - (OPD - The World Series produced nearly enough "goats" to stock a cheese factory, but the un happy horns have to go to the Milwaukee Braves' part-time first baseman, Frank Torre. It was Torre who made two errors in the second inning of the seventh game, when the world championship hinged on victory, to give the Yan kees the lead with two un earned runs and put the Braves in a hole from which they never escaped. Torre didn t accept tne booby prize without defense "Both of the throws had the runners beat," he said. "Why was it my error? I don't mind taking the rap for being the goat, but I fielded both balls clean. Both times the runners were beat by the ball and the throw was good. They should have been caught." While the Yankees added their big four runs in the eighth. Manager Fred Haney declared the unearned mark ers put the defending world titleholders "in the hole" and chaneed the entire course of the game.

Pitts burgh did it against Washing ton in 1925.' "This was the hardest one ever," said a grinning Casey Stengel, who won his seventh series championship in nine tries. "Yesterday we were the Yankees, like we used to be," he added. "But let me tell you, it took a lot of doing." It sure did. Here they were in the home of the Braves, who had beat en them in seven games last year, and again the same two pitchers were going for the series jackpot D o n Larsen for the Yankees and Lew Bur dette, who won it last year 5-0, for the Braves. This time Burdette couldn't quite make it. "But he pitched a helluva ball game and would have been all right if we could have gotten him some runs," Milwaukee Manager Fred Haney observed. 'Give those Yankees credit. We aren't ali-ing-they beat us." "That blast of Moose s real ly gave me a big cushion," Turley said. "I wasn't worried any more with four runs go ing for me. Turley had come into the third inning with men, on second and first and only one out. He got out of that inning and went on to allow only two hits in six-and-two-thirds in nings. " Larsen, who had kept the Yankees alive last Friday, gave up a run to the Braves in the first on a single by Schoendienst, three walks and a sacrifice fly. But he got Crandall on strikes. He turned back the Braves one, two, three in the second but then ran into trouble in the third. Billy Bruton led off with a single and with one out Hank Aaron also singled. That's when Stengel called on Bullet Bob and he came through. and Colors! variations and colors than you thought possible are a typically low Penney price. TO PENNEY'S AND SAVE Burdette Takes Loss Undejected By GENE FOSSELMAN Milwaukee - (l?D - Lew Bur dette, tabbed as a man with ice-water in his veins while pitching tight games, ran true to form even in his hour of bitter defeat. The 31-year-old right-hander from Nitro, W.Va., seemed unperturbed in the dressing room after his heart-breaking loss to the New York Yankees in the deciding game of the 1958 World Series Thursday. It would have been under standable for the Milwaukee hurler to feel let down. He had just suffered his second loss in three decisions to the Yankees, who gained revenge for the three beatings he hand ed them when the Braves won the 1957 classic. Burdette disclosed that de spite only two days of rest he felt strong throughout the game and didn't tire even in the Yankees' four-run eighth inning uprising that beat him, 6-2. Could Have Made It "We could have made it," he said. "They didn't hit too many too hard. Yogi Berra hit a bad ball again in the eighth, and if Elston Howard hits one anywhere except over the middle he's an easy out. Bill Skowron hit a change-up, one he looked real - bad on be fore." Catcher Del Crandall back ed up Burdette's view and added, "Lew pitched a terrific game. He was just as effective as he was before, but Howard hops one through the infield and there's the ball game." Burdette offered to take "I deserved them as much as Frank and I'll take all the errors," he said. But he added, "Those were the two toughest plays I ever had to make." the blame for two disastrous errors that led to two unearn ed Yankee runs without a hit in the. second, inning. First baseman Frank Torre was charged with both errors on throws - to Burdette covering first on slow- rollers. GO ON SALE SATURDAY MORNING AT 9:30 A.M.! ready Every shirt perfect!

PLENTY! 6-2 Triumph in Seventh Game Climaxes Stirring Comeback for New York t By RAY W. DOHERTY Milwaukee- (UPD -The come back New York Yankees re gained baseball's world title from the Milwaukee Braves .Thursday with a 6-2 victory in the seventh and final game of the World Series. 1 The Yankees, down three games to one last Sunday, won their third straight game and the title in typical fash ion. ' They bombed Lew Burdette -the man who beat them three times a year ago-with four runs in the eighth inning, while Bullet Bob Turley was stopping the Braves with only two hits in 6 23 innings of relief pitching. It was a 2-2 game in the eighth with two out when the Yankee's Yogi Berra rattled a double off the right field fence for only the fourth hit off Burdette. But it was the beginning pf the end for the 1957 hero. Howard Breaks Tie Elston Howard whipped a single through second base to send Berra home with the tie breaking run. Andy Carey, who had replaced Jerry Lumpe at third base, followed with another hit. And then up came Bill Skowron, the former footballer from Pur due. He lined a home run into the left field stands, to de throne the Braves for sure. The Braves rallied feebly in the ninth when they put two base-runners on, but Tur ley got Red Schoendienst to line out'to Mickey Mantle in centerfield to end the game and make the Yankees only the second team in modern series history to win the title after being down, thregames to one. Turley, making his third straight appearance, gave up a homer to Del Crandall that tied the score in the sixth and a single to pinchhitter Joe Adcock in the ninth. The Braves had only one other baserunner off Turley-except for Crandall's homer-until the final inning. And then it small, medium, large xtra large was too late. Milwaukee muffed two big opportunities to score in the early innings off Don Larsen. And infield lapses gave the Yankees their first two runs without benefit of a hit. Ironically, it was the man they call the "Glove" of the Braves who set up the Yankee runs. Frank Torre erred twice on grounders in the second in ning to allow the Yankees to lod the bases. Skowron then drove in Berra with a ground out, and Tony Kubek scored the other with a sacrifice fly. Three times the Braves had hitters up with the bases load ed in the first and third in nings and all they could get was one run. Crandall struck out in the first with the bases full, after Wes Covington had scored Schoendienst with a ground out. Again in the third, Crandall grounded out with all bases occupied to end the inning-this time against Turley.

Braves Eye Next Year Milwaukee -r (UPD - The Mil waukee Braves, dethroned as baseball's world champions, completed the season - end chore today of cleaning out their lockers at County Sta dium and in the minds of several was a big question: "Will I be back next year?" This undercurrent of doubt began in the dressing room when the Braves quietly filed in after their defeat in the seventh and payoff game of the World Series. It was hard to alibi the loss after they had the Yankees down three games to one, and the Braves didn't try to alibi. "To the victor belongs the spoils," said Manager Fred Haney, "so give them all the credit. They beat us. They de served to win, and they came from behind, to do it. Had Chance "We had our chances and we just didn't make it. Pitch ers dominated the series on both sides ' and I've got no complaints on our pitching. The turning point was in our bats'," he said. General Manager John Quinn added fuel to . the thoughts of some Braves that they could be left off the Na tional league champions7 ros ter when spring comes. "We'll make changes neces sary to keep us strong," he said, indicating possible trades with other teams and promo tions from the Braves farm system to keep the club on top.

SPORTS El lie Given Credit in Yank Rally Bill Skowron hit a three run homer in the eighth inning Thursday that proved the crusher in the Yankees' 6-2 World Series wind-up victory over the Braves. In the following dis patch, he tells his impres sions of the game. By BILL SKOWRON Written for UPI Milwaukee (UPD Elston Howard deserves all the credit,, not me. He really won the ball game for us with that eighth-inning single of his that put us ahead, 3-2. My home run was second ary, even though I hit it with two on. - - Don't get the idea I'm pooh poohing my homer. I hit the ball good and I was tickled to see it go over the fence in left-center. But fair is fair, Ellie won the game. I just added a little bit to the vic tory. I certainly have no kick coming. Remember the World Series last year? My back gave me so much trouble I could only play in two games. This time I played in all of them and I feel I owe any good luck that came my way to the good Lord. In a way,, my. homer off Lew Burdette in today's game reminds me a lot of the final game of the 1956 World Series against Brooklyn. They got the jump on us at the start of the series just as the Braves did in this one. Then in the final game, I hit a homer with the bases full. Like the one today, it came after we more or less already had wrapped up the victory. I've been with winning Yankee clubs before but I've never enjoyed one as much as this one. Maybe it's be cause the Braves had us down, three games to one, and we battled back to win it.-, Playful Champs Don Warpaint New York (UPD The Yan kees looked more like Braves with warpaint -when they returned home Thursday night from Milwaukee. During their celebration on the plane that carried them back to New York, the new world champions playfully painted their faces with burned cork? from champagne bottles. When the players alighted from their chartered plane, some sported faked black eyes. Others featured crudely painted skull and cross-bone decorations on their fore heads, while Manager Casey Stengel had dollar signs painted on his cheeks. Nature's None at higher prices !

MAIL TRIBUNE, Modford, Oregon, Friday, October 10, 1958 13 No Joy in Bushville By FRED LINDECKE United Press International Milwaukee (UPD Mil waukee was a city without its baseball champion, today, and to put together a time honored poem and a name applied to Milwaukee in happier days, it was indeed true that "There is no joy in Bushville, the Milwaukee Braves have struck out." .One Milwaukee daily, the morning- Sentinel, put the words into a banner with a black background: "No joy in Bushville." Act Normal Milwaukeeans, who were ready to celebrate their sec ond straight world's cham pionship, acted after the seventh game Thursday like normal people, which is not how they have acted when the Braves were pennant and World Series winners last year, and pennant . winners again this year. Wisconsin ave., the nerve center of all other Milwaukee celebrations, was poised for the big blowout Thursday if the Braves had been able to Several of Yanks May Be Traded Milwaukee - (UPD - The tri umphant Yankees can start counting their lion's share of the World Series today but they'd better not begin count ing their chickens for next year because some of them may not be back. Even before they beat the Braves to win the World Series Thursday, Casey Sten gel revealed that he will make a special trip back to New York to "listen to a lot of trade offers people have been making us." General Manager George Weiss confirmed that there may be several changes in the Yankees' playing personnel before 1959 rolls around. In Market ' ''We're always in the mar ket for a deal," Weiss said, "and there is a good possibil ity we .might make a few of them this winter.". That wquld mean, of course, that some of the Yankees who helped Stengel to his seventh World Series victory will be serving with other clubs next year. ' Among the candidates who may be traded are pitchers Johnny Kucks, Art Ditmar, Duke Maas and Bobby Shantz and infielders Andy Carey, Bobby Richardson and Jerry Lumpe. Stengel had profound words of praise for practically every one of his Yankees imme diately after Thursday's clincher. But that was in the first flush of victory. Upon re-evaluation, he is. sure to be a bit less excited about some of their performances,' particularly during the last month of the regular season.""
