Those yells you hear from the Giant fans who still have voices are for the job San Francisco did on the proud Milwaukee Braves. After booting away the opening game of the three-game series, and losing their National league lead, the Giants came roaring back to take the fi nal two games of the set and repossess their spot at the top. .Wednesday, it was 7-1 for the Giants and they did it off Lew Burdette, a longtime jinx. Giant Killer Killed Burdette, who still owns a 22-9 record against the Gi ants, was greeted harshly. Three straight singles added up to one San Francisco run driven in by rookie sensation Willie McCovey and a sacri fice fly brought home another in the first inning. That would have been enough for Sam Jones, the toothpick industry's best cus tomer. Jones allowed the league champions only eight hits and did not give them a run until the sixth inning when he had a healthy 6-0 BIG '59 MODEL FORD CLEANUP SALE!
