Warren Spahn Volunteers And Beats Redlegs Z< By MILTON RICHMAN United Free* Sports Writer There’s aa old Army saying — ‘ never volunteer’* ~ but the Milwaukee Braves can thank a guy. who did, Warren Spahn, for their 2% game lead in the National League today. Certainly no one expected Spahn to volunteer for bullpen duty against Cincinnati Monday night. The veteran left-hander had beaten the Redlegs, 3-1, only 24 hours before and had earned the customary three days rest. Spahn wasn’t needed during the first eight innings Monday night as Lew Burdette had the Redlegs eating out of his hand and appeared on his way to his seventh shutout of the season with a threerun lead. But Cincinnati outfielder Frank Robinson opened the ninth with his 30th homer and Spahn, who had volunteered to go down to the bullpen, got up and started to throw. He stepped up the tempo when Bob Thurman walked. But then Burdette appeared to be out of the woods when Ted Kluspewr ski hit into a double play. ' : Ml When Wally Post followed with a single. Manager Fred Haney gave Spahn the nod and the 35-

year old left-hander strolled in to get Ed Bailey on a grounder that ended the game and preserved Burdette's 3-1 triumph. In bringing in Spahn in relief — which Is only the second time Haney did so since he became manager — the little Milwaukee skipper actually was taking a leaf from the book of Cincinnati Manager Birdie Tebbetts, who has been using his starters in relief a good part of the season. AJJ all. it was quite a night t<fr~ the Braves, who increased their league lead to 2% games over the idle seeondplaee Dodgers and moved 3% games ahead of the third place Redlegs. Burdette, in registering his 16th victory against seven defeats, surpassed his previous best total in the majors. He gave up only five hits, the same number the Braves collected off loser Brooks Lawrence and Hersh Freeman. The victory was also a particularly sweet one for Milwaukee first sacker Joe Adcock, who ha< exchanged hot words with Tebbetts after last Saturday’s game. Adcock slammed his 30th homer over hte center field wall In the sixth inning and as it turned out the blow served only as icing on Milwaukee’s victory cake. Lawrence, also a 16-game winner, started on the road to his seventh loss with two out in the third inning when Hank Aaron drilled a triple down the right field line and Eddie Mathews followed with his 28th homer over the right field screen. » The victory earned the Braves an even split in their four-game series with the Redlegs and sent them back home to Milwaukee to-

Farm Expert States Research is Important LAFAYETTE, Ind. (UP) — An expert said Monday that agricultural research shouldn't lag just because there are surpluses of farm products. Dr. N. J. Volk, associate director of the Purdue University agricultural experiment station, told ■the north central branch of the American Agronomy Society that constant research is needed to assure an ever-bountiful food supply. “Destructive forces of nature never take a holiday,” Volk said. ‘By accident these forces may catch up with us.
