Milwaukee Is Again In Grip Os Flag Fever MILWAUKEE (UP)—That baseball malady, pennant fever, was back in town today, but Milwaukee Braves fans felt they have been inoculated against a full-scale out- ’ break by the disappointment* of past seasons. • * 1 Guarded optimism appeared to 4 be the serum keeping pennant fever under control, despite the fact the Braves created havoc in the National League last weekend by trouncing the St Louis Cardinals three times to move out in front by 5% games—the biggest 3 spread of the year. Ray Weisbrod, vice-president of 2 tiie Milwaukee Association of Commerce, said, "We don’t dare to 1 think about it,” referring to that " magic pennant, “for fear well , spoil it.” ‘ Weisbrod and Oliver Kuechle, sports editor of the Milwaukee Journal, both reminded that Milwaukee had held a 5% game lead '■ last season only to let go of the , pennant in the final games of 1956 2 at St. Louis. 2 Everyone appeared to be hang1 ing tough in the camp of indecision until the Braves next seven 2 ames were in the record book ■> Tilwaukee opens a three-game z series with the Cincinnati Redlegs tonight then returns home to face the Cardinals for four games starting Friday night. But pennant fever definitely was catching on, including fans throughout Wisconsin who do say “our Braves.” A spokesman for the Chamber of Commerce at Madison, I.W. Lacore, said “we’re conscious of a new interest in the Braves. You can sense it on the ‘ streets. Where it used to be the weather, it’s now talk about our • Braves.” Back here, Weisbrod said he and the rest of the association hadn’t forgotten the 400 large posters made up last year to hang on street poles and the 30-foot high replica of an Indian Braves, clad in a loin cloth, sitting on a baseball to go up in Milwaukee’s outdoor court of honor when the pennant comes to town. “They can be dusted off at a moment’s notice,” he said. At Madison in the state executive mansion, the wife of „Gov. Vernon W. Thomson made no bones about already lining up the governor’s influence to get World Series tickets. Mrs. Thomson said the governor, who threw out the first ball of the Braves home opener this season, "put a lot of good wishes on the ball.’’ Former World Champ Accidentally Drowned LOS ANGELES (UP) — Pdice today listed the death of Albert (Chalky) Wright, 45, former world featherweight boxing champion, as an accidental drowning in the bathroom of his mother’s home. Officers said Wright, who suffered from a heart condition, apparently fell in the bathtub Monday. Efforts to revive him by a fire department rescue squad failed. j

Parker Quits Detroit Lions As Head Coach DETROIT (UP)—Buddy Parker , said today he definitely quit as r head coach of the Detroit Lions • and he nominated assistant coach i George Wilson to take his place r when the Lions open the exhibition season here Wednesday night . against the Cleveland Browns, i Parker shocked a crowd of more r than 600 persons, including club r President Edwin J. Anderson. . many of the directors and all of the players, at the annual "Meet the Lions banquet” Monday night , by announcing his resignation, j "When you get to the situation where you can’t handle your foot- ‘ ball players it’s time to get out B and that’s what I'm doing to- ' | night,” said Parker, one of* the 5 most successful coaches in pro " ranks. The effect couldn’t have been greater than if an atomic bomb 5 had been dropped. For a moment 3 there was a dead silence then a t milling, buzzing crowd. i Anderson hurriedly conferred 1 with General Manager W. Nicho2 las Kerbawy and then went to the f speaker’s stand. Will Not Reconsider "I’m sure Buddy is just emotionally upset over two things that happened today," Anderson said. "With a good night's sleep o think it over and realize what le’s said in public, he’ll reconsid•r,” he said as fans yelled “don’t be a quitter, Buddy!” . But Parker says he has no in--1 tention of reconsidering. J ' “Detroit is just dead,” the Tex--1 an drawled later. “I've been in I ? football as a player and a 3 a h slice 1935 and I kiow what an do with a team. So far in s actice this year I haven’t been ble to do anything with them," ? Parker said. . He refused to single out any , players and said he knew "nothing” of the "two things” that Ani derson talked about. “I'm not through with football—t I’m just through in Detroit. There won’t be any meeting with me 'Anderson said he would call a B meeting today; as far as I’m conr erned,” Parker said.
