Victory Hardest Ever

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.

HURRY
It marked the first time in
33 years that a ball club had
been down three games to
one in a World Series and
come back to win it. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.-,

During their celebration on

When the players alighted

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.""
