URDETTE PITCHES Brave Star Allows One Man on Base By FRED LINDECKE United Preii International Milwaukee - Lew Burdette, the guy with the ever-present quip and wise crack, knows today what it takes to leave him stunned and speechless his first no-hitter. The 33-year-old righthand er from Nitro, W. Va., circled aimlessly and bumped into people in the Milwaukee Braves dressing room after stopping the Philadelphia Phillies, 1-0, Thursday night. "I never thought I'd ever do it," he repeated again and again. But soon he was the old Irrepressible Burdette again. When did he first think about pitching a no-hitter? "Right with the first pitch." And then with a jab at Braves' treasurer Fran Leary, "be sure to make those checks bigger from now on." Near Perfect Game Burdette came within just one batter of hurling a per fect game. He faced only the minimum of 27 men, but he hit center fielder Tony Gon zalez with a 1-1 pitch in the fifth inning. Gonzalez became the only Philadelphia baserunner of the game, but he was erased immediately in an unusual doubleplay. The next batter, Lee Walls, grounded out third to first, and Gonzalez was out trying to go all the way to third on a relay back to John ny Logan covering the bag. Serious for just a moment again, Burdette compared the thrill of his no-hitter with winning three games . against the New York Yankees in the 1957 World Series. "I rank this right up there with those," he said. Nice Hitting, Too' Standing right next to him, Warren Spahn - a veteran who has had 10 20-victory seasons without a no-hitler-said: "The hell with your pitching. It was the hitting that did it." Spahn referred to Bur dette's second hit of the night, a double down the left field line to open the eighth in ning. Billy Bruton followed with another double over the first base bag off losing pitch er Gene Conley to score Bur dette with the winning run. It was the second no-hitler of this season. Don Cardwell pitched one for the Cubs against the Cardinals on May 15. It was also the first nine inning no-hitter by a Brave pitcher since Jim Wilson pitched one against the Phil lies on June 12, 1954. The spectacular perform ance recalled the night of May 26, ' 1959, when Pitts burgh's Harvey Haddix pitch ed 12 perfect innings at Coun ly Stadium, only to lose, 1-0, in the 13th and ironically to Burdette. Burdette said he was wor ried about every one of the Phils' batters. "I told myself at the start of the ninth in ning, 'You dumb guy, this could never happen to you'." But Burdette was wrong, it did.
